The Coxey fizzle cannot fail TO have
disheartening effect on the various
contingents of the Commonweal Army
that have made their appearance here
and there. Some of them have already
had discouraging experiences in their
attempts to get to Washington, and the
fiat failure of the original movement
must demonstrate to them the utter
futility of the attempt to influence
Congress by invading the National
capital. That is not the way things
are done in this Republic. II any men
or body of men have grievances, they
are at perfect liberty to set them forth.

The Disseminated Man.


He grieved because the times were hard,
And everything went wrong;
Such weather would his trade retard,
The butter tasted strong,
His coffee never looks quite clear,
And everything he bought was dear.
In fact, from early dawn till night
He glOried in his woes;
No earthly thing was ever right,
And all his friends were foes.
But this fact most his patience tried
His wife was always satisfied
