"Uncle" David Higgins, of Abilene,
Kan, has owned silk hat for 81 years,
which he wears only on election day,
when he dresses up in long Prince

it there are people in Abilene who re-
greet the chance to biennial elections.

Swiftly and with deft fingers she
twined the starry azaleas into seven
wreaths and laid them reverently upon
the sunken mounds, leaving the
last for the grave of the cap

were trimming again, and she saw but
indistinctly the martial figure of the
old major, standing in an attitude of
reverence, with bowed head, the tips
of his huge white mustache twitching
curiously, and he seemed to be strug-

EVERYBODY CAN'T
 DO EVERYTHING

We can't paint a picture, or carve a statue, or make a coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do it because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for a good while because we have studied it, and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. 1t requires as much hard work, and practice, and tai ent, to make a good laundry as to make a good picture. Everybody can't paint a picture everybody can't wash clothes perfectly. We want you to give us a fair trial, and allow us to prove our word.

The platform of the New Haven Economic league speaks plainly regard ing the proposed new constitution. Section XI reads: .sThe new proposed constitution of Connecticut should be rejected at the polls, -as it proposes to set up, in this state rotten Borough Oligarchy of one-tenth of the people to rule the other nine-tenths. This prob lem should be solved in the next guber- material election by making it the issue of the campaign, by setting up a plat form pledging the candidate if elected, to call a constitutional convention by executive proclamation, the delegates to be chosen according to population instead of according to acreage of land. Then place on such a platform a can didate who will agree to carry out the peoples mandate, if such mandate be given by success at the polls; such method not being revolutionary, but the only course left to combat static revolution in the institutions of this state. that has lasted now for fifty years"

The meeting of the Central Labor union Monday evening was the most largely attended of any for some time past, the seating capacity of the hall being insufficient to accommodate all present. Isaac Cowan, general organ izer for the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, was granted the privileges of the floor and spoke interestingly for half an hour. His remarks in regard to the almost ideal form of government in Australia and New Zealand, prac- tically brought about through organ ized labor were enthusiastically re- ceived. The committee appointed to look after grounds for Labor Day re- ported that the Driving park had been secured.
