ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is
from careless local treatment of other
diseases.

THE WIDOWS CHRISTMAS.

shall we hang up our stockings for Santa
BY the chimney, mamma, tonight?"
''No, dearies upon us the rent day draws
And here he will not alight.''
''What. mamma, does Santa Claus only mock
At little folks when they're poor?"
'Hush darling. There is the landlords
knock
Quick. open to him the door,"
Gruff and chill from his wintry walk,
The landlord came in from the hall;
He had caught some words OF their simple
talk,
And he looked askance at them all.
Santa Claus eh:" he grimly said
AS the money was paid to him:
"And why should he care for living or dead
In homes that are poor and dim?
Hang up. good widow, their stockings to-
night,
But not by the chimney here
Hang them out on the porch where the snow
is white,
And the sprites of the storm career.
When they find them tomorrow. all filed with
snow
And icicles brittle and cold,
1t will break up their foolish desires, you
know.
That arise from the legend old.
He laughed aloud as their looks he saw,
Then left with hurried tread.
"Shall we hang them out as he said, man.
ma?''
Eyes, yes" and she bowed her head.
And then, as each ran with an empty sock
To hang in the open air,
He was right" she sighed, they will
need the shock
To inure them to pain and despair"
And she sighed again as they prattled away,
While she was so crushed and dumb
So trustful still and so sure were they
That old Santa Claus yet would come.
With the light of day they were up and away
To look to the stockings again.
While poor mamma but their JOY foresaw
Transformed into sorrow and pain.
But chorus of CHEEKY and joyous cries
Through the frosty morning thrilled.
AS each rushed in with Christmas prize
And stocking to bursting filled.
"And see," they cried, chow thoughtful and
good
Old Santa Claus is to the poor:
There's a load of coal and some kindling wood
Piled up at our cottage door,
The widow started, her sight grew dim,
And her bosom was strangely stirred;
For just at this moment the landlord grim
Looked in for passing word.

America; and their ultimate triumph
will then be assured and in sight.
A very large measure of the success
OF the socialistic movement of latter
days is due absolutely to the cooper
atlve colonies, since these colonies
have been centers whence emanated
not only millions of copies of social
istic periodicals but millions of copies
of the most effective socialistic publ
catlons-propaganda literature whose
mere existence proves the logic of it's
arguments. A paper, in other words,
that is issued by socialism is ten-fold
more effective than paper issued for
socialism there's the point, as / see
it; and hence | believe that Industrial
Freedom and The Coming Nation and
papers of that stamp, that issue direct
from socialistic communities, make
more socialist converts and put more
OF the active living socialist spirit into
their readers, than all the other fac
tors of the socialist press of the coun-
try. Socialism is indeed coming.
How soon it will become a trium-
plant reality depends very largely
upon how well the socialist-colonv
papers are supported and upheld.

My heart leaps up to see the new
rainbow, bow of promise in the in
dustrial skies of our countrv-the
world. The rainbow that | have Just
seen flashes forth from the pages of
Industrial Freedom; rainbow made
up of the three primary colors of
Equality" Harmony" and Broth
erhood'. No more significant fact has
ever been presented to the world than
the fact that dwells in the weekly rec
ord of these three colonies now being
published to the world together,
abreast and hand in hand. Equality,
Harmony, Observation-Disclosures magic
words to exercise the old demons of
Competition, Strife and Hatred.
Equality colony should be proud in
deed to have such a herald of hope
and progress to give the weary world
that travaileth and waiteth for a
sign. The modern shepherds that are
keeping the night watch by the strick-
en- flock of mankind when they see the
sign of Industrial Freedom in the
heavens, and that sign emblazoning
forth Equality, Harmony and Broth
erhood, may well interpret it as be-
ing like the song of angels singing,
This day, 0 men that labor and yet
reapnot the fruits of your labor, this
day, O We masses of men who are
slaves to the plutocratic classes, this
day is born to you a savior-the saw

But our eyes may see also another
rainbow in the skies-one that even
they who are not rainbow chasers"
cannot fail to see. This second bow
of promise shines i'll the political
world Mark this momentous fact
the socialist vote of this year is about
equal TO the combined socialist vote
of the last three years. In ten years
the straight-out socialist vote has de
veloped from two thousand to over
one hundred thousand-a gain of five
thousand per cent; another ten years,
another gain of five thousand per cent
and socialism will have won the fight.
But even if the cause of socialism
should not advance so rapidly within
the next decade as, proportionately
it did during the last, still it seems an
absolute certainty that in ten years
from today the socialists will hold
the balance of political power IL

that over on the other side of the gulf

out how one rich man could go

will tell you why think it was. 1t
was because Dives, being a rich man,
reveled in his careless luxury, while,
comparatively unheeded, a beggar
covered with sores lay at his palace
gate. 1t is time for the church to
wake up. The church has but a mere
semblance of life and religion if it is
not giving itself to the abolition of
poverty. Poverty would be abolish
ed if the people who call themselves
religious would give as much atten-
ton to the abolition of it as some of
them do to the increase of it.
Religion concerns the inspiration
and purpose and action of a mans
heart and life. When a great London
preacher was rebuked for not preach
ing the Gospel, because he had been
speaking of the physical needs of the
people in his own district, he said in
reply that he did not see any disem-
bodied spirits in that ward, or he
would have done all he could to save
them. He did see great numbers of
people that were not disembodied
and he saw their needs, and he be-
lieved it was a religious duty to min
lister to them. Our great prophet
Emerson says that a world in the
hand is worth two in the bush; that
we ought to concern ourselves with
the real people around us, rather than
with saints and angels and ghosts of
whom we know little.
81 can see already the beginning of
the church that is to come-a simple
church, human church, a pure
church, a loving church. Her founda-
tons will be the revelation of God in
men and in man, without creeds or set
forms or priests or presbyteries or au-
thoritative councils of any sort. She
will know neither male nor female,
high nor low, rich nor poor, good nor
bad, but love shall be all and in all.
She will believe all things, and hope
all things, and endure all things, and
bear all things, and shall conquer all
things.
