Would you like 10 look into the future?
Well, you cannot, and II is one OF the
| blessings you should be thankful for. IL
| is the delightful uncertainty OF existence
which makes it so interesting.
| III We could see the future there are
many things we would hedge on so TO
| speak. We plan now and execute and
| then we execute and plan. Sometimes
| we hit IL and more times we do not. Envy
and jealousy of others success gets posses
sion of the human heart and the result Is
dissension and trouble.
III anybody can solve the problem OF ex-
istence they can enjoy large income. IL
anybody can foretell the future for any
considerable length OF time there Will be
plenty of listeners. In 1910 the speck OF
future trouble appeared upon the horizon.
The speck gradually grew into cloud and
by 1861 the cloud burst, and after civil
war lasting five years the result was the
killing of 80, 900 men, the expenditure OF
millions of dollars and the destruction of
property almost incalculable. No one
could foretell the future in 1S40, or 20
years later.
Is there some soothsayer, some second
or third sight party, some wise man OF the
East or West who can fortell with abso-
industrial disorder? Suppose The concen-
trating of q handful of troops at one or
two given points should demonstrate the
fact that the United States was deficient
in respect TO its standing army?
Are the conditions ripe for a long and
bitter strife, much suffering, and death
in the bargainf Should one man, or a set
OF men, whether they consider themselves
right or wrong, who can avert the present
difficulty by concession on their part,
make that concession?
But there's the rub, don't you seef
Were you ever In Pullman? Imagine a
regular village with hundreds of pretty
brick cottages and gardens, concrete walks
and wide drives, plenty Of shade trees and
howers galore. Stores and churches,
school houses and theater, a veritable
workingman's paradise of contentment
were IL not distur bed by contentious strife
engendered by the walking delegate whose
mission in life seems to be to kick up a
row and draw salary for doing it. The
great industry of building cars Is located
at Pullman, and the stranger who visits
Chicago has not seen what is to be seen in
and about the great metropolis of
the West IL he leaves the wonderful
little city OF Pullman off his visiting
list. Suppose any one could have
foretold the future in regard to this Won
a disagreement between employer and
employee, applying OF the torch of the in
cendiary, the clashing of authority be-
tween State and Federal officers, the firing
into the mob of rebellious people of rule
or ruin propensities by armed men in
order to compel an obedience to the COM
mon law, how much misery might have
been averted?

Whiskey and cards taken regularly will

It's a wise man who knows when he's
got enough of getting the worst of it.
tight shoe causes great anguish of
spirit.
Speaking about shoes, did you ever buy
a pair OF ready made imitation of hand
sewed from a man "yot wouldn't sheaL
you for de vold?" Then did you ever
have the rain strike them and see them
blush as 1t were as they lost their
shape? And then the pegs OF the "hand-
sewed" would work through to let you
know they were there, and stone bruises
covered your feet, so that when you
walked you had a "sort OF an addition
