THEY WERE NEWLY MARRIED.


Consequently They We're So Busily En-
gagged They Passed Their Station.
There was an amusing and instructive
scene tho other day in an uptown train
on the Sixth avenue elevated. At Park
place handsome young couple, evident
ly very much in love, got on one of the
middle cars, and settling down in cross
seat they proceeded without delay to be-
come absorbed in one another, not pay
ing the slightest heed to any one else in
the car. All the passengers watched
them with good natured interest, even
the small boy in the corner, who had
been deeply absorbed in the delights of
tuppenny dreadful.
Station after station flew by, all un>
needed as far as the lovemakers were
concerned, and the stalwart Adonis' arm
had just settled comfortably about the
waist of his demure companion when
she suddenly gave little feminine
shrek and made q frantic break for the
door. Everybody was startled, no one
more than the young man, who in
stinctively attempted to hold her back.
But she only jerked herself away, and
the onlookers could see that the express
sion of undying love on her features had
given way to a look of the most pro-
nounced vexation as she turned on her
companion with the remark:
"Now, knew you'd do it. And was
so anxious to be on time. Don't make
matters worse by sitting there, but let
US get off before we are carried any fur
ther"
"But this isn't our station" expostu-
lated the young man in astonishment.
81 know it isn't. We are far beyond
it. We should have gotten off at Fifty
ninth"
"Well, we haven't reached there yet"
'Of course we have, stupid! Come on
before the train starts up again or I'll
go alone. Don't you see this is Eighty
first?'
Nonsense" exclaimed the Adonis,
getting excited in his turn.
''It isn't nonsense! Don't you see
there, 'Eighty-frst' in big white letters?"
There it was, sure enough; but even
as everyone looked, and the young man
started hastily to gather up some bun
dies that were on the seat beside him,
the train started, and change came
over the expression of the bride-for u
bride she certainly was. From vexa-
tious flush, the color on her face changed
to dark crimson blush of embarrass-
ment, which grew deeper as the unfeel-
ing wretch by her side burst into loud
laugh, in which all the passengers joined.
The bride didn't say another word, but
simply made her way hurriedly into the
forward car, followed closely by her
sturdy companion, who was trying in
vain to look serious. The little woman
had been fooled by the mirror between
the seats, which rejecting the station
sign from the platform, had turned the
figures around, making 81 out of 49,

why the Groom Is the Elder.

In the friendships. formed between
boys and girls during the school age,
the boy is usually year or SO older than
the girl, girls of from 10 to IS being as
a rule trife brighter than boys of the
same age, and having more inclination
and time to study, and consequently be-
ing put into classes with boys about
year older than themselves. About the
age of 10 or 16 the average girl begins
to mature socially at rapid gait, and
at 18 she is the equal-generally more
than the equal-of a man of 21.-New

ONLY TEN YEARS.

Only ten years of joys and tears
1t seems not very long
Only ten years Of hopes and fears
That to my memory throng;
And as you are standing again at my side,
So fair and so young, my bonny bride,
Now breaks from my heart this song:
Only ten years Of joys and tears,
OF merry and cloudy weather,
Have blended our lives together, my love,
Have welded our hearts together,
So wen dream once again Of the happy days
when
We timidly stood in the morning
With hearts full of love, with the blue skies
above,
And roses our garden adormng.
And now you are standing again at my side,
So fair and so young. my bonny bride.
With roses our pathway adorning. /
Only ten years of joys and tears,
And the tears into pearls are turning;
Only ten years Of hopes and fears,
And now q sweet incense Is burning
On the altar of Love, whose diadem
Now shimmers and glistens with many gem
OF sanctified sorrow and yearning.
Only ten years of joys and tears,
OF merry and cloudy weather,
Have blended our lives together, my love,
Have welded our hearts together.
Only ten years of hopes and fears.
Their passing was fleet,
But their living was sweet
In merry and cloudy weather, my love,
As we've journeyed along together

Co to Work Yourself.

Did Napoleon say, "If there were no
Alps?" No. He said, "There shall be no
Alps" Prohibitionists, say there shall
be no "if" and go to work. 1t is true
1--WE" can't elect HIM, but our Democratic
and Republican friends are only waiting
to be asked to help us. 1t will be all
right for you to pray, provided you don't
ask the Lord to do more than his share.
You just hustle for ninety-nine hun
dredths of the votes necessary, and the
Lord will show you the hundredth man.
Don't ask the Lord to furnish the ninety
nine. He won't do it. Use your per-
sonal influence and work.

throats; nine months to swallow the
banks; fourteen months more and mills
and factories follow; seventy-four
months for all the railroads and tele-
grrphs-twelve and one-fourth years for
all this waste. Give them nine months
more, just thirteen years in ali, and the
waste would cover all the quarries, all
the steamships end sailing vessels, all
the telephones, all the ferries, and then
leave half q billion dollars to apply on
the farms.
All this stupendous expenditure, let it
be remembered, is only the working
mans part of the nations drink bill.
How, then, shall labor questions be set
tied until the liquor question is settled?
The two old parties are robbing the
people by legislating in the interest of
monopoly, and by perpetuating the liquor
traffic.
What will you do? Organize farm
ers' party? If so, what will the wage
workers and merchants do, whose inter
psts are one with yours?
Organize a workingmen's party?
Why do so, when there is already one
organized?
The party of reform, the party of
progress, the party of prosperity, the
party of the people is the Prohibition
party. 1t has candidates in the field.
Most of them are farmers. All of them
are workingmen. Their interests are
yours; your interests are theirs.
Prohibition is not cure-all-but it is
pre-essential to the cure of any evil in
our political and social system.
Before any reform can be secured, its
friends must unite against the enemy of
all reforms-the saloon.
Would you secure ballot reform? Pro-
hibit first the liquor traffic, which de-
grades the citizen, corrupts the voter
and makes him the tool of politicians
for base political ends. What profit
would inure from a state printed and
furnished ballot and secret voting, if
the candidates are to be named by the
saloon, platforms framed in pot house
and votes cast by d hand guided by a
sodden brain?
Would you have civil service reform?
Prohibit first the liquor traffic, which
names the candidate for public office and
corrupts the integrity of officers. Pro-
hibit the saloon, through whose infu-
ence offices have become positions to
which mo wage worker need apply" be-
cause he cannot afford to ''set 'em up for
the boys" and control the slum vote.
Would you abolish usury and monopo-
lies? Prohibit first the saloon, through
whose door monopoly and its purchased
minions ascend to the throne of political
power.
Would you nationalize industry? Pro-
hibit first the liquor traffic, and let us
have men who know what they want,
how to get it and how to keep it-men
who can make government in which
every mars good will be each mans
care, and an injury to one the concern
of ALL
Would you equalize taxation and COM
pei all interests to pay just share of
the expenses of government? Prohibit
first the liquor traffic, which creates tax
alton and piles up the expenses, which
the people are burdened to pay.
The Prohibition party is the party of
the great common people. Let no farmer
or workinSman throw his vote away on
a class party against the masses.

The Color Line in Massachusetts,.

Two Pittsfeld hotels recently refused
to receive the Rev. J. H. Hector, our
colored Prohibition orator, who went
there to address the Prohibitionists of
the city, in company with his wife and
little boy, and Nine. Bayard, also col
ored, of Boston. Mr.. Hector alleges that
this refusal was on account OF their
color, as other persons were subsequent
ly accommodated, although the proprie-
tors had informed the Hector family
that their hotels We're full.

AS regarded any limitation that should
be put on work from a sanitary and
health point of view, eight hours is a
good standard, not absolute, because the
pressure of work varies, but as fair
average. What is wanted in order to
get at that standard is not so much
change in the relations between en-
ployer and employed as change in the
public mind, the public at large being
most exacting in their demands, and
making hard workers keep long hours
really for no useful purpose whatever.
1t would be a good point to begin with
if the hours of buying and selling could
be reduced.-Dr. B. w. Richardson.

Physicians always order beef for in
valids that is cooked very little, in order
that none of the nourishment in the
meat may be dried away. Lean beef
ground in q machine, salted to taste,
made into cakes, and broiled just enough
to heat, is excellent forinvalids to whom
the doctor has forbidden vegetables. A
person in health may suit his taste.
