wandered on as my heart led. No soul

ner. They carried me outside and 1
revived with a fist shaking in my face,
adorned and decorated with a Masonic
ring, badge of honor!
Coming from the Park Sunday l met
two young men, barefaced boys, reeling.
l stood still on a corner to avoid being
in their way on the crossing. A rum
seller was airing his large proportions
on his porch. l remarked to him how
sad to see two such fine looking lads
drunk, and he asked me if | intended
my remarks as an insult to his place.

Questions for Free Traders.

If the free trade tariff of 1916 was the
best tariff our country has had, why
was it necessary, during the period that
this measure was in force, to open soup
housesf r the relief of the poor in every
ward in New York Cityp
If the object of free trade is to in
crease importatlons, and SO says Sepa-
tor Mills, how are the workingmen in
American factories going to be benefited
by it,
If it is a proper course for a city like
Birmingham, Alabama, to raise q fund
of SlOO, 900 in order to induce a cotton
mill to establish itself at that place, is
it not inconsistent for the Same city to
oppose Protection, which alone makes
the establishmentof such mills possible?
