WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE IDLE.

Claude Meeksr, the American consul at
Bradford, England. has sent a report 10
ths treasury department which is very sig
nlicanf in view Of the expectation OF Nc
Kfnley's election. and restoration o. pro-
tective duties. He makes some other com
rents upon home trade which are no less
instructive and interesting.
The consul says that the falling or In
exports from Bradford 60 the United
States during The four months ending in
July is very noticeable. 1t was expected
that a decrease In volume must come,
seeing that the shipments 70 the United
States iast year were Of an abnormal char
acter" They were SO abnormal" TO use
the consufs diplomatic phrase, that the
milf OK Bradford have had a remarkable
trade and her mills have been running day
and night. while many Ia this country
have been running on part time and many
have been entirely closed

months OF the past two years, ought 20 be
carefully conned BY every workingman as

THEY DIED TOO SOON.

George Washington was president and
honored in his day,
lie was the father of the land and all
things came his way;
Fle had a basketful of fun, wagon

But he never was a rooter at a base
ball game.
Napoleon conquered half the world
and had a crown of gold,
And in his time his cup was just as full
as full as it could hold.
1t looks from here as though he should
have had his share of fun
But he never strained his yocals when
the home team won.
And also Julius Caesar, who had his
share of sport,
He won a score of battles and always
held the fort,
lie killed off lots of people, regardless
Of the cost
But he never slugged the umpire
when the home team lost.
And also Alexander, he turned most
every trick,
And then shed tears because there
were no more worlds left to lick.
He climbed way up the ladder, as high
as people get
! But he never pawned his scepter to pay
a baseball bet.
