The working-men should not forget
that they must choose between free
trade and protection, which insures
them higher wages and develops
American industries If they vote
with the Democratic party they vote
for free trade, and consequently for
lower wages. The votes Of the Ger
man working-men form the bala nee OF
political power between the two par
ties. If the "fleshpots" Of America
have caused them to forget their pow
erty in the past, let them remember
the toilers whom they have left behind
in Germany. who toll and strug-
gle day after day. yet scarcely
earn the necessaries of life for
wife and children. and, in adj.
dition. are oppressed and taxed to
the utmost extent Of their meager
wages. Theirs is hard and bitter lot.
We can not alter the condi-
ton of affairs in Europe, but we can
keep them from our shores. America
shall remain an asylum for the OPP
pressed working-man. where he can
call his hearth his own. and where he
can become well-tO-do. honorcd and
free citizen. The German working
man of America must now do his part
to secure these blessings He must
understand the handwriting on the
wall now, before events have become
irrevocable. He must vote with the
right party if he desires to improve his
condition (and in this opulent country
his condition can be improveO. That
party is the Republican party. the
party that liberated 4. 600. 600 of slaves.

good deal of trouble. for the man had

BEAR CUBS.
It Is Dangerous business to Fool
With Them.

Reckoned by itself, there isn't much
to bear cub under six months old. no
matter what particular breed of the
varmint it belongs to. grizzly, cinna-
mon. or what not Nevertheless, by
fooling with bear cub a fellow can
very easily get himself into a bigger
rumpus than if he had tackled full
grown animal to begin with. Take a
sub and its mother together. and the
combination is every bit as dangerous
rs two full-grown bears. Not because
the youngster is likely to take any
hand in the fight, but because the old
she bear will fight heap savager and
die harder ON account of the cub, every
time. If you want to see an old squaw
bear turn herself wrong side out with
fury and cave around till her eyes
throw off sparks, all you have to do is
to get cornered up betwixt her and
her cub. as 1 once happened to be.

brush Bill and the three .Englishmen

stumbled upon brown bear cub about

abroad at that age without its mother
is so very unusual that I concluded al
once that it must be an orphan, and

THE OLD coeeLER.

The poor old cobbler was weary, lonely and
sad,
with no comforts around HIM to make his heart
glad;
For his home was his shop-'twas Q dismal
Where pounding the leather on . stone

The music that echoed from the darkness
Was the ring Of his lap-stone, with it,

Hetwisted his thread and made strong his wax
ed end
When any one brought boots end shoes there to
to mend.
Seeming cheerful and happy in his dismal
back room, s..5
He pegged firm and strong. and stitch
ed with snap;
But the music that echoed from the
darkness and gloom
Was the ring of his lap-stone, with its
clap. clap, clap!
He hummed soft and low. the songs of his sire,
As he heard them in childhood round the
bright blazing fire.
Twas music to his SOUL in this checrless
back room;
And the rythm Of the songs, marked
down by his rap,
Was the music that echoed from the
darkness and gloom
In the ring OF his lap-stone, with its
clap, clap. clap!
Day after day. year after year, he came and he
went
His eyes growing dim and his form growing
bent
He plodded to and fro. but his home
was this room;
And he polished the stone he held in his
lap,
While the music that echoed from the
darkness and gloom
Was the ring OF the lap-stonc, with its
Clap. clap clap!
When the summer sun shone bright and warm
on the street.
And the little brown sparrows were twittering
sweet.
The sun did not shine in this upper back
room.
There was sunshine in his heart, and
song in the rap
OF his hammer; and, echoing still from
the gloom.
Came the ring OF his lap stone with its
clap, clap. clap!
But the long winter came, with its frost and its
blast,
And the old .cobbler sighed: 'Ah! this Is my
last;
For never shall see the May flowers in
bloom
Or live till the lifegiving flow Of the
sap,'
And the weird face smil I'd in the darkness
and gloom;
Then came. soft and low, the ring of the
clap, clap, clap!
There were hurrying feet on the street far be-
low
Men and women wrapped in furs, with cheeks
all aglow.
None heard the meaning Of the cobbler,
weak and old,
As ne whispered-faintly whispered:
Hungry and cold.'
Then shiyering on his bench, he heard a
low rap.
Was it the ring Of his lap-stone, with its
clap, clap. claps
All, no! He was dreaming that friend would
FROM the street far beiow-from its clatter and
Make him warm, bring him food and plen-
ty OF cheer.
Then, ringing in his ear, came again the
low rap,
And he saw in his dream, through the
darkness and gloom,
And angel Of mercy. then ceased forever
the clap clap, clap!
The old cobbler stared wild vacant stare:
Grasping his hammer with the strength of de-
spair-
The angel bent low and;-tthe story is
