But by far the greater injury result
ed from the free coinage of silver in
1926: But by far the greatest injury
will fall upon workingmen Their wages
are now based upon money of the high
est value. upon gold coin of standard
value. Under free coinage of silver the
value of the silver dollar will fall to SO
cents in gold or. as 1 have already said,
the hundred cents of the gold dollars
will be worth 100 cents of the silver dol
lar. With free coinage of silver every
workingman can or ought to demand
enough silver for his daily wages to be
equal to the purchasing power of his
present wages in gold. The struggle be-
tween workingman and employer will
then commence and no one knows better
than the workingman how difficult 1t
is to set an advance of pay.
We have strikes and strife enough
now, when the workingman gets his
pay in gold coin or its equivalent, but
paid in che aper money of the same nom
inal amount, but of less purchasing
power? Every sentiment of justice will

which government can infiict none
can be greater than cheap money,
whether of coin or paper.
The question will never be settled un
til you determine the simple question
whether the latoringman is entitled to
have gold dollar if he earns it, or
whether you are going TO cheat him
with something else. Gold has made
the world respect it all the time. The
English people once thought they could
get along without gold for awhile, but
they had to come back to it.
With the free coinage of silver gold
will be demonetized. Nothing can be
more certain than that the cheaper
money only will circulate. The United
States has thus far maintained its sill

Yer dollars will soon fill the channels of
circulation and the gold dollar will be

A century ago America was the
home of savages, who hunted for most
of their living, and would sometimes
carry off people from their homes as
prisoners. Once there was a man and
his boy working ia the field, when
the Indians made an attack and cap
tured both. While on their way to
the Indian camp, along the side of
the trail they saw the Indians take
another man, whom they had pre-
viously captured and tied. So they
took all three prisoners to the camp
with their hands and feet bound to-
gether. The Indian chief said he
would watch One, and this one of
them was allowed to sit by the chiefs
side. The latter was carving some
meat. which they had killed that day,
and he had carelessly caid his knife
down by him. where the man could
reach it. The man picked up the
knife and began to turn it first ono
way and then another, all he time
watching his chance. He finally got
an opportunity to stab the chief in
the breast. The chief fell over with
a groan and the man quickly cut the
other two loose, and all went home.
A few days after the boy and his
father were getting some wood from a
little creek near the house. when they
thought they heard some turkeys over
on the other side of the creek. The
boy wanted his father to let him
take his gun and kill the turkeys. but

Over her face there passed a curious
look. In the pause that followed her
w words she had been woman

She rose quickly from her chair.

She waited one moment at the door,
looking at him c%uriously. He glanced
up.
"Thank you. Good night" said he.
In another moment she was outside
the house. On the opposite side of the
road a man was standing. He crossed
quickly over to her.
Constance, l want to see you"
Cyril"
ooh, my poor child, what an expert
ence for you! What are you going to
do?"
Then he stopped, looking at her in
amazement.
"Vhy, [ don't understand. You look
happier than l have seen you for ever
so long. Is 1t possible you care for
for him."
Constance shook her head, smiling
rather sadly.
81 wish it were possible" she said.
81 don't care for him, | care for you.
And yet, now that he has come back,

"He will be a burden to you as long

And she disappeared into the house.

"You won't talk like that, will you,
please?" she said, trying to repress
her Involuntary, bitter amusement.
You must be satisfied to know that
have behaved rightly, according to my
own ideas, as you nc doubt have, ac-
cording to yours"
He glanced at her quickly, with a
rising flush of indignation in his sullen
face. But he was abaShed, and had
the sense to say nothing.
Il am not going to worry you with
any moralizing, any questions" she
went on, looking at the fire. 81 would,

"Then you are not going to make it
up again?' he whined.
Constance looked at him quickly, and
her eyes filled with ears. If there had
been a spark of affection in his tone
of longing for the warmth of his
wife's heart, as distinct from power
over her purse-she would not have
been hard to him. But love for an
other and love returned had made her
clear-sighted.
She shook her head.
"No more than that" she said gen.
tly.
He kept his head bent for a little
while, looking at the fire. Then he
nodded philosophically. After all, he
had outgrown any feeling for his wife
long ago. In the meantime he might
think himself sure Of a roof and a
crust as long as she was in an engage
ment.
"Well, as you like" said he at last.

GOLD AND DIAMOND THIEVES.
In South Africa They Are One of
the Plaques of the Country.

In South Africa They Are One of
the Plaques of the Country.
The gold and diamonds of South
Africa have already attracted a very
fair proportion of the thieves of the
world to that favored region. Some
very fine hauls have been made, and
others all but made; but II hears lit
tie of such things owe here; there is
so much of solidly interesting South
African new that the cables seldom
give us the picturesque. Decidedly the
most sensational attempt was M a
few years g on the diamond train.
To reach Cape Town from Kimberly
used to take three days, or at least
two days and three nights. The dia-
mOnds used to be carried in a safe in
the p~ostottice sorting van. Some ex-
pert thieves found out where the safe
always stood in the van, and under
that spot, beneath the bottom of the
var, rugged up a platform of rope and
plank, wherein a man could lie and
work with a drill as the train sped on
it's way. 1t is a lonely journey, with
hours and hours between stations. The
thief endured his uncomfortable posi-
ton beneath the moving train long
enough to bore a circlet of holes in the
bottom of the iron safe, having first
| cut a piece out of the bottom of the
van. His plan was to complete the
circle in this tedious way so as to re-
move a piece of The safe bottom n
leave a hole large enough for the in
sertion of an arm, the remova of a
bag, and the capture of a fortune in
diamonds. Unfortunately for him, he
was either disturbed or he got tired or

he did not cut out the piece of metal,
consequently did not reap his glitter
ing reward. He escaped. The post
office people in the van heard nothing
of the drill-which probably was silent
save when there was the chatter racket
of the wheels to drown it's noise. When
the platform and the pierced safe were
discovered the thief had gone and left
no clew beyond his handiwork, which
never proved sufficient for tracing
him.-St. James Gazette.
