A Pusgative Pleasure.

II you ever took Dewitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or consti-
patton you know what purgative
pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system Of
all bile without producing unpleasant
effects. They do not gripe. sicken or
weaken, but give tone and strength to
the tissues and organs involved. w.

he has learned:
"Aelio" is request for food.

Lac" expresses desire for milk
"BI'' is demand for red meat
stBleeme-b!" means kitty wants
cooked meat
"Ptlee-bp' is mouse meat and Is arS
piled to any food which kitty fondles
before devouring.
'Meouw," uttered simply, is greeN
ing; uttered f1ercely and with accent on
the me" is an expression of hatred and
defiance.
'Mieuow, vow, WOW, yelwoyow, tiow:
ys-ss-syow" Is the yell of defiance In
battle and is variously accented to tell
OF the progress of hostilities, '.ys-s-s-s-s-

NIT Of their taking political action in
their meetings. One thing Is certain,
and that is that the wage earners have
never before been so thoroughly arous-
ed over a local election as now, and
they declare that it is their intention to
place their candidate in the mayors
chair.
w. D. Mahon, president Of the
AmalgamAted Association Of Street
Railway Employees in a recent adj
dress said: what Johann Most is
in the socialistic and labor world, Mr.
Parry is in the capftal&stac world.
Both of them represent radfcahsm
gone to seed. One takes the action OF
one or two corporations and enlarges
upon it it until it becomes in his mind
a great monster, threatening the peace
Of the whole country and the other
does the same with the action of one or
two labor organizations. Neither Is
worth the serious consideration of the
thinking American public except as ex-
amples of what extreme radicalism
will doom either side"
Louis e. WTh1tton assured the mem
bers Of the New London Central Labor
union last evening THAT there were
men in labor unions, and high up In
their confd ence, too, who were PAID
representa- Of 'SThe Corporations
Auxiliary company" of Cleveland
whose business it was to spy out and
report TO manufacturers the doings of
labor organizations affecting their bus
mess, and at times controlling their
movements. Mr. Whitton proved his
statement by submitting correspond
ence from the concern and telling Of
an interview with a representative.
The concern offered to put a man or
men into the Wilton factory who
would keep the Whitons posted on all
that was being done by the labor men
I'm their employ. The representative of
the auxiliary company assured Mr.
Wilton that they had men in their
service who were officers OF unions,
Delegates to labor conventions, state
and national, and IN the official boards
of these organizations. The price for
moulder would be SITE month, and
for other classes Of labor $3.50 a month
the wages to be deducted therefrom.
