rs THE LITTLE COMFORTER

I shall not rail at fortune or at fate
While in tho dark or light
hear footstsp pattering to the gats
That closes on.the night. 4
But for those little feet
Each pathway shall be sweet
The sad storms trimmed with rainbows,
where the paths Of angels meet!
I shall not rail at fortune or at fate
While under loves own skies i,
My little queen walks where the roses walt
And wins me with her eyes.
For in those eyes seem
To read the stars that stream
On bright, celestial meadows where mt
angels sing and dream!
I shall not rail at fortune or at fate
While still feel the beat
OF her glad heart. and in iife's twilight latl
Her rosy lips and sweet!
Lo7ely as still thou art,
Rest on my heart, sweetheart!
Till Gods white angel, smiling, kiss lips and
lives apart!

more than half the hands engaged in
making such cloth are idle. THIS is but
one Of the many facts which millions of
voters know infinitely better than any
political orator can tell them. They find
it does not pay to do a dollars worth OF
WORK for eighty cents IN order to get a

cents. It does not pay 10 have thousands
of shops closed III which voters or their

Is produced, ana money should there
tore be plentiful, business booming and

theorists would have us believe should
be the effect of free and unlimited com

facts In Mexico? Gold at a premium
