MY DEN.

I've den that's all my own.
That the maid must let alone;
Though II be In disarray,
Thus the maid must let II stay.
Pens are lying everywhere;
No ones moved the old arm chair;
Manuscript is scattered DER
Desk aud table, couch and floor.
Pipes are where I put them last:
Papers, too, where they were cast,
And the carpet doth display
Ashes that have missed the tray.
Thus I'd always have my "den,"
But, alas. like other men
Eve wife who grieves to sec
That can thus happy be.
That my ways her patience tries
can gather from her sighs,
And at times. Ia sheer dispafr,
She invades and cleans my lair.
i can bar the serving maid,
But my wife is not afraid;
She "arranges" now and then
Book and paper, chair and pen.
Woe Is me IN such case
Everything is in It's place;
Order doth my wife create,
Leaving me disconsolate.
Things are then concealed from me,
For they're where they ought to be;
I'm in worst OF human plights
When my "den" is "put to rights"

HEzEKIAH sCOvIL DEAD.
Haddam Manufacturer of Agricultur

Haddam Manufacturer of Agricultural
 Tools Passes Away.
 Haddam, Jan. 14--Hezekiah Scovil, 8 member of the firm of D. & H. Scovil manufacturers of agricultural imple- ments, died at his home here last night aged about eighty years, MT. Scovil and his brother Daniel in 1S44 estab- lished what has been known as the Hoe factory. They became famous as the makers of what was known as the planters hoe, used throughout the south. The concern still does large business.
 MT. Scovil is believed to be the wealthiest man in this section. He was g. direct descendant of William Scovi who settled in Higganum in 1868, and 8 grandson of Hezekiah Scovil, revolu- tionary soldier. MT. Scovil was an in. corporator Of the Middlesex county hospital. and at one time director ir the Middletown National bank. He was three times a representative from Haddam in the legislature. He leaves a wife, his only child having died few years ago.

ONLY GOOD SHOES.

likewise from entering into any extend- ed consideration of the field of inter- class morality, which, I think, may very properly be discussed religiously from the pulpit. 1 wish to speak more directly of the actual and concrete re- lations of the employer and his work men. as I may have observed these re- lations from the point of view of an in terested onlooker. l would like to con- slider the labor question as the average employer and manufacturer must meet it, if he would avert or settle a strike, keep his paper good, and do a business profitable enough to enable him to pay living wage to any working men. He is not a baron or 8 monopolist. He l has capital enough, if we'll managed, to do a paying business; as a director in some corporation he knows well what , it will mean to many small stockhold- ] CTS if the corporation fails to keep up 1 the dividends. I will suppose further ] that this man is both just and gener- ous; that up to recent times he has al ! ways managed to get along reasonably well with his men. He may have help i ed some of them to buy snug homes on a mortgage, and he is willing to con- sider and to redress any grievances he i honorably wishes to make his own bus mess success helpful to the cummu- nifty.
 In our current literature many re- ports may be found of the unfavorable conditions and wrongs of different classes of our felloW-men; and we ought certainly to be ready to perceive and eager to remedy them. But 1 do not recall any sketch of the average employer in his troubles, as his busi- ness is under the fire of fierce competi- tion all along the front, with a whole

Secrecy is contrary to the spirit oi our laws.
 The newspapers have a field open to them in this direction. which thus fa! has been entered very timOrOusly and only partially explored. The public need light concerning the actual Ope:- ations of trades unions in various prac- tical relations. For instance, it might be sometimes more profitable than edi- tOrials on the labor question in genera! if our evening papers should favor us with an exact and detailed account of the publishers experience of the work ing of union rules, so far as they have affected the average of printers wages, the amounts earned under the rules compared with the amounts which might be earned without the restric- tions of the rules by the more cOmpe- tent men, the ability of the publisher to get editions printed on time, whether by new presses or old, his right to hire and to discharge emp!oyes according to his best judgment, and other economics of the business; and it would be inter- esting to compare these experiences with results obtained at the same time in non-union printing offices. A full and accurate account likewise Of the operations of some other unions, such as the Painters, and the efforts of their walking delegatcs might possibly thro" some side lights over the existing in dustlial situation in a city like OUTS. l should like to subscribe to newspaper that should intelligently, fairly and fearlessly cover this field.
 One thing more remains always to be said. Abraham Lincoln said it in a word never to be forgotten: This coun- try cannot remain half slave and half free. Labor here cannot be half slave and half free. No tyranny of labor over labor can be tolerated; no form of white slavery can be endured Whether trades union have come to stay and to cu-work with other indus trial factors or not, labor throughout this broad land must remain all free, The government of the people is great CT than the interest of any class; the obligation represented by the militia is higher than the rule of any organiza- tion; and the Fourth of July will be kept and dedicated ever anew by free men in a free land.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Falls, Minn.. fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had surgeon get it back in place again as soon as possible but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad- vertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recom- mended it to many others. For sale by all druggists.

THIEF OVERCOME BY
CAS- He HAD TURNED ON
1t Soon Put Him to Sleep
and He Fell on the
Floor

Chester, Ia. June 15.-John Davis,
of Rose and Potter streets. heard some
heavy object fan on the floor of am up
stairs room early yesterday morning.
After having taken his wife TO a neigh
boris house, Davis proceeded to inves-
tIgate.
When me opened the door of the room
where the noise had been heard he
found the apartment filled with illumi-
mating gas on the floor was q big
negro, unconscious. The police dragged
him out OF the house and resuscitated
him. The prisoner says he is William
Johnson OF Harrisburg.
Johnson says that after having
robbed the home of William Burgess
lie entered the Davis house. which is
near. He thinks that he turned ON the
gas soon after entering the room, when
he was fumbling about the walls in
search of matches. none of which he
found.
overcome by the gas, he fell heavily
TO the floor, and the noise of his fall
aroused the household.
