and 1t was not until about four o'clock
that one of his sons was sent to town
for doctor, but before the doctor ar
rived he had fallen asleep, never to
awaken again to earthly joys and sor-
rows. A few minutes before he died
Mr.. Reynolds said ~ feel better now
and will sleep awhile" and he peaceful
ly fell asleep, but it was the sleep Of
death. And thus his earthly career

American exports to South Africa

692, and the exports consisted chiefly
OF horses, mules and other supplies
for the British army. But for the
horses and mules shipped from this
country the British troops, though
vastly superior numerically, would
have made little Roadway against the
brave and patriotic Beers. Without
the quadrupeds Kitchener's army
would lack mobility and be ineffective.

therefor, we have directly and materi-
ally assisted Great Britain in her at

The monopolists try to defend trusts
by claiming that they are Identical in
principle with the labor organization.
There is this difference, however be-
tween the two kinds of organization
which ought to be apparent to every
one. Labor organizations have not
yet secured for their members more
than fair compensation for work
done-and in many branches of in
dustry they have not secured what is
fair, while many of the trust mag
mates have within the past few years
amassed fabulous fortunes. When la
Dor organizations reach the point
where the wage earners are able to
spend their summers in the north,
their winters in the south and the
