"a part.

hits coming after chances had been given
to retire the side. Brooks supported him
well and Riley made one pretty catch.

PRAISE FOR FOLK.

Referring to the nomination Of Joe

"Mr. Folk should be elected unanI-

with Democrats In voting for the man
who has made the splendid record he
has. The Republicans are no less in
terested than the Democrats in the
suppression of corruption in Missouri.
That is the great State issue which is
before the people at the coming cleo.
ton. Republicans should follow Mr..
Folk uUquestioningly, for he is the
best man to lead in the anti-boodle
war. Tits to be hoped that the peo-
pie of Missouri will not content them
selves with the election of Mr.. Folk,
but will choose a Legislature that will
co operate heartily with him." All
Democrats will commend this utterance
OF the Tribune. Bat if the conditions
were reversed, and Democrat urged
the election of Republican in similar
circumstances, what howl there
would be from those Democrats of the

The strike of cotton mill operatives
is sure to cause distress at Fall River.
AS many of the mills have been run
ming on short time, it is unlikely that
they are anxious to resume until the
new crop of cotton comes IN and de-
presses the price of the raw material
The 12-1s2 per cent. reduction against
which the operatives struck is a heavy
one. 1t may have been made with a
view of either forcing a strike at a
time when the mills did not care to
operate, or else to lower wages when
the tactical advantages were in favor
of the mills, establishing a lower
scale which would be partially main
tanned long after conditions did not
warrant il.

Der of "Sucoess" striking set Of
verse, the first of which reads:
There's craze among US mortals that is
cruel hard to name,
Wheresoe' er you find human you find the
case the same;
You may seek among the worst of men or
- seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is prec' sely
like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is alon 6

Than the one at WIN Oh he's working-take,
for instance, yours and mine:
From the meanest '.me-too" creature to the
leader of the mob,
There's a universal craving for 1.-THE other
fellows Job
The poem goes on to say that thel c
are millions of positions in the world
which are each a drudge to the man
holding it, aud play to those who
have some different task to perform,
and it concludes with the excellent
advice TO smother Envy's heartache
by keeping too busy at their own to
want "the other fellows job"
To this advice we should like tc
offer another, and this, toe, is not our
own. but that of "HuIdah" of "The

eff you Farm to love the path you
go by, to take each step the very best

way side is, never to forgit that the'blue
sky is over your head; wy you've
walked your path the way God meant
you to. Augusta Herald
