The UalfUolidov Novrmept

Mr.. Munce. who inaugurated the early
closing movement on Saturday after
moons, said that the retail merchants
keep open late on Saturdays for the
reason that they DO a very large bust
ness on that day, owing to the fact
that a majority Of the working men and
women receive their wages on that DAY.
and are thus compelled to go to the
stores late in the evening to purchase
their family supplies for Sunday
IT. continued Mr. Munce, wages
were paid on some other day than Satur-
day the wives of wOrkingmen and the
working women would have leisure in
which 10 make their purchases, and in
stead Of crowdlng the stores on Saturday
evenings would distribute their shopping
over other days in the week
would. therefore. suggest that the
ladies' who are interested in this matter
not only work on the retail stOrekeepers
10 close early. but also on employers of
labor 70 nay their employees on some
other. day han saturday. ! think they

children about her and held them un-
til they were all overcome. The eldest
of the children was years of age and
the youngest IA months
Mr.. Harrigan is quite poor and
peddles for livelihood. He went to
wares. When neighbors, attracted by
the smoke, reached the home of the
Harrigans they found box of wood

barn, however, had gained such
headway that nothing could be
done until the flimsy structure had

and her three children became known.
