She missed John at first with all the

as time went on. the longing grew less
fierce. and she felt she would rather
never return than to 60 now when life
was so full of gayety and novelty.

tration has opened the mills,
while the nints grind along at
their accustomed swing. Money
is plent1er, wage conditions have
improved, few men are idle from
necessity and the hum of indus
try is the sweetest sound that
gfeets the waking mani and lulls

The flood of commercial pros
perity is full. Manufactures
that had been idle for years have
reopened. Shops that we're in
operation have Increased their
employees, new enterprises have
been undertaken, new fields are
entered by the alert and skillful
American mechanic. There is
none to find serious fault with
the condition Of things, If indeed
there were serious b1en1sh to
discover.
William McKinley's policy has
