worthy of the labor organizations OF the
state Labor day should not only be
holiday in which all workers can paru-

have often said when privileged to ad-
dress labor unions. the one thing needed
above all else Is Justice. That, | believe,
can best be secured by intelligent discus
sion, by putting your best men 10 the

this drain, and was moving nearer. The old gentleman waited until his prey
 got as near as he thought it would go,
 and then jumped to his feet with a whoop which would have done credit to a Choctaw brave" on the war-path. The wO0dchuck was duly impressed, and did exactly what he was expected to do -dived straight into the black mouth of the drain. My neighbor quickly blocked the hole with a big stone, and running down to the other end, blocked that in the same way. Then he returned to the front steps and continued his smoke" and there he was when my brother and 1 returned from a walk. On learning of the prisoner and his whereabouts we ran home and in few minutes returned with a sack having a stiff wire ring about the mouth. We removed the stone from one end of the drain pipe, and put in its place the mouth of the
 sack, bracing the ring firmly with 1 stones. We now opened the opposite { end of the drain, and with three clothes 1 poles tied end to end tried to dislodge the chuck He moved up very slow 1 ly and seemed very loath to enter the l 0GNhJ bGL AuEu hiA A4C hVAiS AlhC u

 At first he threw himself back on his l launches and barred his long chiseI

 him; but in his heart he was afraid, for i presently his teeth chattered violently. | We left him alone, and soon he took 1 courage and ate an apple or two. That
 night we carried the cage into the l kitchen. but in the morning we found that our captive had escaped. With his l powerful incisors he had cut the net ] ting as neatly as man could have
 done with a wire cutter, and made hcle just large enough to allow his body to pass. Of course he was some
 where in the house, and at last we l found him curled up in bed of torn
 newspapers which he had made for himself in a corner of the back entry, between large box and the wall, de- cided to leave him there and every day
 l left him food. which he came out to
 eat in the night. When l gave him
 whole ears of corn he stripped and ate
 the kernels, and added the cobs and the outer coverings to his nest. When
 gave him clover, he often allowed it to dry and then carried that also to the
 corner behind the big box. For some weeks his appetite was good, and ap- ples. corn. carrots or other vegetables
 left for him in the evening were gone l the following morning But as the cool
 weather came on he became less hun

HIGHER THAN EYER.

It will cheer those who couldn't get coal and who could and did get the grip to know that they are richer than they have been, richer than ever before. A United States treasury statement puts the total circulating medium of the United States at 2,355 millions of dol lars, making the circulation per capita $29.4S-a new record. There was a gain of nearly $S0,000,0O0 in gold certificates, which is a wholesome sign. Gold in cir culation, including coin and certificates, is $1,O05, 5,O5S,729, or, if the treasury's S holdings be added, $1.252, ,S42, 475--the largest on record. Some 47.12 per cent. of the general stock of money in the country is gold. The above figures are to be compared with those of 1896 when the total circulation was $1,646, ,000,000, of which but s554, 4,OOO,O0O, or 3S.6 per cent, was gold. The increase in circulation per capita from $22.S6 in 1896 to s29.4S now is clearly wholesome because it is very largely in gold certificates The percentage of gold in circulation is con- stantly increasing. We seem to retain nearly all the gold mined in this country and export but little.
 When everybody shares in the general prosperity to the extent of S29.4S there is no reason for Encouragement.

when, as he had eaten nothing for more
 than three weeks. thought it only de-
 cent to make inquiries. I pulled out the
 box and there lay the nest, composed
 of nearly a bushel of grass. corn-cobs, . towels from the kitchen, torn newspa-
 pers, and other odds and ends which he
 had picked up in his mighty wand
 erings. With the point of an umbrella
 pulled off the roof of the nest and at
 once he responded by raising himself on
 his forelegs, stretching and yawning.
 The next instant he rolled over, drew a
 deep signing breath and was fast asleep. Again I touched him gently with the umbrella, and again he turned over, gaping and weary, and, without even
 opening his eyes, drew another long
 breath and went to sleep. I touched two
 or three times with the same result, and
 then I carefully shoveled him up with as much of his nest as I could get on a snow-shoveI. and put him down on the floor near a sunny window.

dollars capital. Good. cheap furniture was in demand, and it was a success from the start. The profits were large, and the factory soon paid for itself. Others saw there was money 10 be made, and in a short time other fac tories were built. Skilled workmen were carried there, and the quality of the product improved year by year. One by one other branches were added. Now High Point is one of the largest furniture-n making points in the United States. It has fifty-two establishments that turn out wood products. Chairs of every kind, from cane bottom to handsomest upholstered, lounges, set tees, tables, sideboards, safes, 9 trunks, collins, hall racks, show cases, counters, desks and almost everything in the furniture line are made there and shipped to every part of the coun- try. The town has waterworks, cleo tric lights, a fine public school system, a handsome, illustrated furniture jour nal and a hotel that would do credit to a large city.
 They call High Point now the Grand Rapids of the South. It is an illustra- tion of what can be done. and what has been many times done by the en- terprising men of the United States.

STILL IN 3HE RING.

Brother Bryan doesn't intend to lie down and die just because he has been. ordered to by the highly respectable eastern reorganizers of the Democratic party. He doesn't care any more about the wise men of the East than they do about him. He declares that wherever the reorganizers have obtained control they have tried to avoid clear state ment of the party position upon impor- tant questions, and have contented themselves with generalizations that ! could be construed to mean anything or nothing. It is evidently. he says, their plan to secure uninstructed and yet se- | cretly pledged delegates to the next na- tional convention. and then at the con- vention to prepare an ambiguous plat form and nominate ticket selected by the great corporationists to carry on a campaign with money contributed by the trusts. If defeated, as they doubt less will be, the party would have to bear the disgrace as we'll as the defeat, land if successful the party would be in the position it was when MT. Cleveland attempted to make it the exponent of plutocracy.
 Brother Bryan tells the advocates of the Kansas City platform that if they would hold the party to the advocacy of the Democratic principles they must proceed at once to perfect an organiza- = tion within the party, the purpose of which will be then to fight at the pri- maries, where, and where alone, the voice of the people is heard. He recom- mends the organization of club in every precinct so that the right kind of delegates can be selected, and so that the integrity of the party can be main- tained and it's character so established that patriotic Republicans will turn to it for relief when they realize, as they must soon, that the Republican party is completely dominated by organized lwealth. Brother Bryan's vision of pa triotic Republicans turning to the Bry- an Democracy for relief is a gay one but he doubtless feels obliged to have it. He will have to have other visions in order to keep his gang together and in good working order,

on his appetite began to fail, and when
 the cold weather set in in December his food would remain untouched for three or four days at a time. But he did not stop eating entirely, as he would have done had he wintered out of doors, for after every three or four days of fasting he would come out and eat half a carrot or a. small apple before return ing to his nest, He never carried any food back with him, as a squirrel would have done: he ate what he wanted just where it lay. and left what he could not eat. He evidently did not sleep very sound during the early part of the win- ter, for every time I closed the back door could hear him start up, and if I peered over the top of the box could sometimes see his gray nose poked out of the nest. For the first four nights in February, he came out every night and his appetite had decidedly improved, but after that he seemed to sink into a sound sleep and neither saw nor heard anything of him until the 1st of March,
