Last week made trip to Walkers
Prairie; heard that everybody was en-
joying good health and spirits. (Mlnd
[ do not mean ardent spirits.) Went
into the school and found they had a
live teacher trying to lead the children
to think and comprehend the meaning
of their studies. In fact, they had to
study as we'll as commit to memory. A
teacher of that kind is not found in
every school; wish they were. The
number of pupils were small.
There will be an interesting lecture
in the Bristol and Paris Congregation
al church by Prof. Whitney, of Beloit
College, on Friday evening, Dec. 9th.

this bear would come down every day to eat swil
and would so away content without eating any Of
the little pigs. AS nc did not leave much food

Thanksgiving services of the Grace NJ

mington newspaper reporter had told
him he could not publish anything

he could publish anything against the

Pettus in debauehing her. The man who
wrongs virtuous woman takes his life
in his hands Her husband, her brother,
her father or herself usually escape
punishment when the honor of the
woman is avenged by the death Of her
betrayer. It is against public policy to
make a law allowing woman to

such intense vindictiveness as the sacri-
fee Of q Woman's honor to the insane and
devilish lust Of rich and influential

He held tightly TO his thousands and left
her to suffer alone in the remorse and
shame Of illegitimste child birth. He
resisted her entreaties for help and pro-
lection, and finally had her claims thrown
out of the courts, not because she asked

THE protectionists have always con
tended that the prohibitory tariff was
laid for the benefit Of the American
workingman, but Mr. Washington
Hastings contends that it is laid for the
benefit Of the alien too That broa lens
the scope Of the benefits Of the tariff TO
such an extent as to render it not bene-
fit to ''the American workingman' at all.
That IS the contention Of the tariff re-
formers. They assert that the tariff is
a 'legalized robbery and that the
manufacturers are the '1egalized rob.
bers that the American workingmau
has to contend in an open market for his
wages that if he does not work chear
enough Europe is secured for ignorant,
brutal and criminal laborers who vii
work cheaper That's the explanation o.
the presence Of those aliens in New Cas-

Without pretending to know anything

the Delaware Iron Works, like all other
employers, employ those that first apply,
who are best fitted for the services re-
quired, with without regard to the ma
tionality, religion, or politics Of the ap-
| plicant, and the man who in this last

would have declined to write on a sub

so Mr.. Hastings He sails in to defend
the cause Of the American boodler only
and that does not require either knowl
edge or sense. Then Mr.. Hastings gives
the whole snap away and admits tn,
contention Of the Every Evening by ad-
mitting the hypocracy OF the protected
manufacturer In importing the alien
when he claims that tn,
prohibitory protection tariff is lai,
for the benefit Of the American
workingman. Thus it appears that Mr.
Washington Hastings presence in tn
contest is due 70 his nerve. He enters
e contest for which he admits that he 1
