reached Loretto the school girls

sixth stopped, raised her cowl,
and, looking up, said:
"Mr. Bryan I knew you long

He leaned forward and a name
was whispered in his ear. He still
clasped the hand Of the nun, whose

Objections are occasionally ad.
vanced against higher prices, since
the movement toward prosperity
began This objection is fairly
and squarely met by the Portland
Oregonian when it said:
Some complaint about the higher
prices of foodstuffs is heard from
the wage-earning and salaried
class. The truth is, those who
have had steady wages and salaries
during the recent years of depres-
sion have been so much better OH
than the farmer or manufacturer
that they should gladly welcome
the present change, as indeed most
of them do. The case was tersely
put the other day by carpenter,
who said: II notice that when
-four is cheap, work is uncertain
and wages low, but when | pay a
good, fair price for -four and Other
produce, have work six days in
a week at fair wages. l think
most workingmen are better OH
