rr1ous. d1screet. Why not sssc7T~ r~r some of the consideration which is usually omitted between employer and employe? So thought Judge Roach. It could do no harm, for instance, to take her driving in the park after dark. Nobody would see them. He could keep away from the crowded drives and fashionable resorts So he asked her.
 ''Oh. thank you. Mr. Roach, she had answered, "but I promised a friend to attend the concert this evening. It's very kind of you. Pm sure
 He saw that she was pleased, flat tered, he guessed. and by the merest chance he drove that evening past the music stand in the park He saw her, her face radiant. smiling. chatting gay. ly to man.
 The next day. having asked Miss Gil- dersleeTe 10 withdraw, Judge Roach, looking quite solemn, his hand tremb- ling bit, his face flushed, called Eben into his office and closed the door.

 '.Yes, I've thought of it, George" :" said Lufkin, quietly, a sad kind of smile hovering about the corner of his gentle mouth, sI think I'd have done better alone, perhaps, but it's bit late now, I'm afraid.

 "Oh, I don't wish it, Eben," blurt- ed Roach, who was beginning to feel very .scheap," "I don't wish it, I've no fault to find, but you're a different kind of man from me, you're little too-that is, you're too blamed slow!" concluded the judge, trying to justify himself by becoming brutal.
 ''As you say, George" answered Eben, very softly, "I'll drop out. It'll be especially inconvenient just now"
 "Why?" The judge was resolved tc have no mercy.
 "Well, you see. had arranged to be married at New Years, and--"
 sMarried?" Judge Roach forgot his resentment in the surprising news.
 s'Yes, George" resumed the quiet man, 'we-thatis is. Miss Gildersleeve-"

aL -
Rev. David Morgan of ST. Paul.
whom many Brown county people re-
member as 4 lecturer at tie summer
meetings at Tacoma Park, is out in
an article in the Minnesota Union
Advocate. warming labor unions
against going into politics. Instead
of organizing a labor party, he thinks
they can accomplish more by influence
ing the policy Of established parties.
With the exception of organized
capital. there is no power so potent in
shaping political thought and action
as that Of organized labor, At the
convention of New York labor unions
held in Albany a few weeks before
the assembling of the state Demo-
cratic convention, the labor unions
passed a resolution fayoring govern
ment ownership of the anthracite
coal fields. A similar resolution en-
bodied in the platform of the New
York Democracy, was, in all proba-
bility, the direct result of the action
taken by the labor unions.

1t is difficult to exagerate the harm
wrought upon this state by the Popu-
list majority in 1896 and 1898.
The above sentence occurs in an ed
itoriai in that enterprising journal,
the Argus Leader of Sioux Falls of
the 22nd instant. 1t would certainly
be very difficult to estimate the gall
OF. an editorial writer who could make
such a statement. The Popnlist ma.
jority OF '96 put Andrew E. Lee in
the governors Office. He found an
empty state treasury which had been
looted to the tune of $780,. 600 under
the shadow of big Republican major
tiles. His business-like administers
tion restored the credit of the state
and SO pleased the people that careful
conservative, Republican business
men all over the state, 100 of them in
Brown county, turned in and helped
the fusion forces re-elect Governor
Lee. This claim that the prosperity
and fair name OF the state rest on Re
publican majorities or are impaired
by Pnpufist majorities. is the rOtton-
ist kind of buncOmbe.
