Beginning in February, '92, 1 was very sick
for two months. Slowly I got better but was
confined to my bed A physician said I had a
Pelvic Abscess In My Side.
After an operation did not improve, the alb
scess continuing to discharge even more freely
than before. In two months time three opera
tons were performed and tubes inserted to carry
of the impurities, but all in vain. Finally it
was decided that my life depended upon another
operation and that must be removed to the
hospital About three weeks previous to this

Initiating rIonarchy.

Our plutocratic government is
assiduously aping and copying the
monarchical systems of Europe.
Building an immense navy to con-
tain some of the most formidable
iron clad ships in the world which
will be constant expense and
will never be a particle of use to
any nation that owns them, is one
of our limitations. Another mon
archical fake or fad is the organiza-
ton OF an immense army number
ing hundreds of thousands under
the disguise of National Guards,
apportioned among the states, COM
manded by West Point officers, to
be drilled and governed by the re-
gulatiOns of the United States
troops.
Van Buran advocated a similar
military organization and the
Wings used it against him in the
Presidential campaign of 1910,
which largely promoted his over
whelmingdefeat by General William
Henry Harrison.
All of our colleges and academies
are being converted into military
schools and Federal officers detailed
to give instructions in military tao
tics. This no doubt is intended to
teach the wealthier, rowdy class
who manifest their ruffianly in
stincts in the brutal sport of hazing,
the art of war and form the nucleus
of companies of the same class of
o-nothings ready and anxious to
shoot down working people who
agitate against corporation abuses.
In short the closer the policy, which
is being pursued by the plutocratic
class in control of the government
is scrutinized the more plainly is
seen the imitation of monarchical
systems.

HIS SECOND WIFE.

AS story-writers often say: "Once on q time
there lived man"
Who got it in his head that he was built on q
superior plan
He fanced that to him belonged the best of all
there was In life,
And everybody bowed to him until-he got his
second wife,
And then
All, then!
Tie climbed from off his pedestal and she was
seated there instead,
And like a rooster soundly whipped he found
his greatness all had fed;
The sky that had been fair and bright was hid
den by q somber cloud;
81 can't see why" he'd often say, "a mort.l
spirit should be proud"
His first wife toiled and slaved for him whils
he ruled like petty king;
She'd spare and save and make and mend, and
wait on him and fetch and bring
But by and by she weary grew, and left this
sorry world of strife
He mourned her absence ninety days before he
got his second wife,
And then
Ah thenl
He learned a simple truth or two but, ohl the
irony of fate
That brings US what we ought to know so well
q little bit too late.
He found that when he should have smiled he
often gave a chilling frown,
And did not prize the golden light until, alas! 1!
the sun went down.
How often did he say that when his days on
earth had all been spent,
Whatever wealth he left should then be used
to build his monument!
That was before his first wife died, but when
his final summons came
He left his second wife will and everything
was in her name.
And then
All, then
She put him in plain pine box and buried him
where land was cheap,
And she'd so much to think about she really
hadn't time to weep
She took a trip to Europe with the wealth his
first wife toiled to save,
And all the widows weeds there were grew six
feet high above his grave.

4 French Politician,

II seems that tho most Interesting
outcome OF the ministerial crisis in
France ia that it forces President Car.
not to say whether he is or Is not 4
candidate for reelection. It is also
said that Casimer.Perier shrewdly
schemed Tor and courted tho defeat in
the chamber'in order TO force himself
out OF office, go that he might be free to
enter tho list OF candidates himself.
This was on the presumption that Pres
idont Carnot had called NJ. Casimer-
Perier to tho premiership in order to
sholvc n formidable rival.
The tactics adopted by Casimer-Perier
arc peculiar in American eyes. In the
United States n cabinet minister with
presidential ambitions would not seek
TO force an issue to afford him an OK
cuse for ~rcsicning and leaving himself
with n irco hand lie would simply re.
sign, giving no roason ct all, and 80 into
tho canvass. In Casimcr-Perier's case
tho Issue on which his government met
defcatwas 4 minor question and did not
injure him personally. Had it bcon
n OF great moment his standing as a
presidential candidate would have sui
fered greatly. 1t is this fact that leads
to tho suspicion .hatthe cx-minis.er en-
gineered the matter himself.
