Some time later. much to the young

LABOR'S SHARE
OF PROSPERITY

savings of Labor Increase Faster
Thnn General Savings.
Our foreign born citizens are some
times told that the protective policy OF
the Republican party is for the benefit
Of manufacturers and employers and
not for the benefit Of labor They hear
it said that the "rich are growing
richer and the poor are growing poor
err"
That is not true. Every sensible
worklngman knows that it is the pro
tective policy which keeps up wages
He knows that il protection were de
feated, as the Democratic party pro-
poses. wages in the United States
would 90 down toward the level of
wages in Europe. Protection benefits
labor more than any other interests.
This can be plainly shown. Every
body knows that when labor prospers
IL puts its savings in savings banks
and in life insurance benefit assOcia-
tions. The savings banks represent the
savings Of labor. In 1880 the total
amount Of deposits in savings banks In
the United States was SS10,O0O,O0O. in
1890 it was 81 100000 and in 1903
II was S2,93j. 100000 In other words,
in 1903 it was nearly twice as much as
it was in 1890 and three and a half
times as much as Il was In 1850.
Now, the whole wealth of the United
States in 1903 was only a little over
half as much again as it was in 1890
and only little over twice what it
was in 1SSO-that is TO say, while the
savings Of labor increased three and a
half times the general wealth only
doubled.
This shows that the growth OF labor
savings was faster than the general
growth Of wealth. II shows that the
workingmen were steadily increasing
their share in the general prosperity.
II completely answers the untrue state
ment that "the rich are growing richer
and the poor are growing poorer"
What is true is that the whole body Of
the people are growing better Off. and
the working people with the rest
This can be shown in another way.
England is a free trade country The
United States under Republican rule
is a protection country. Take the
same eight leading industries in both,
such as iron and steel, cotton. wooden
boots and shoes, earthenware and
glass, etc. In England from 1850 tC
1900 the number of workers in these
industries increased only per cent
while the population during the sam'
time increased 25 per cent. In th'
I United States in the same period thu
number of workers increased SO pc

. that is to say, in free trade Englan

JUST FOR and
ABOUT WOMEN
Women Men Admire

Years ago an unmarried woman Of
thirty-five was looked upon as a sour
ed old maid. Nowadays she is in her
prime, and will be the ideal of a young
man probably many years her junior.
Young men have penchant for falling
in love with women considerably older
than themselves, and men who have
themselves left twenty-five behind find
much pleasure in the companionship Of
these women. who at one time were
supposed to have become soured by dis
appointment. Men find that younger
women demand so much attention.
They expect to be amused or else they
vote the men dull and uninteresung,
whereas a woman of thirty or over real
ICES that men are often too tired to
rack their brains to discover new
amusements, or that it may not be their
nature to be entertaining and fascinat-
ing before a crowd, though they may be
intensely interesting when with but
two or three friends, says Woman:
Life. The man finds the woman Of
thirty an excellent chum, a real com.
panion, whenever they go driving
golhng, cycling, etc. She does not ex.
pect him to propose to her, and he il
not always afraid she may misconstru'
his simplest remarks into a demand
for her hand.

Adjustable Sleeves

We are now to have the adjustable
sleeve. 1t is the latest conquest of reason
over the whims of fashion.
The sleeve problem has long been the
despair of every woman except her Of
the limitless purse, for it is invariably the
sleeve which announces the gown. old or
new. The caprices of the fashionable
sleeve, especially during the past five
years, are too well-known to reiterate.
In the new fashions this autumn it is stll
the sleeve which shows the most pro-
nounced NShanges. Perhaps the adjustable
sleeve Swes its position in the smart
modes of the day TO the uncertainty ex-
listing right now in sleeve fashions, says
the Woman's Companion.
II is really astonishing TO see how many
Of the new waists are made sleeveless, fin
ished at the shoulder with merely frill
or epaulet, and purposely made this way
TO be worn with different sleeves. Many
times the modiste will make three or fou1
sets of adjustable sleeves to be worn with
one waist. These easy-to-adjust sleeves
may vary greatly, but all of them are fin.
ished at the top with a deep band. which
is sewed to another band under the fril
or the cap. which poses as an apology foi
the waist sleeve.
The sleeves are very charming in chif
fon cloth, blending Of course with the ma
terial Of the gown, and they will also b.
made up in lace, net and chiffon velvet.
The dainty undersieeves which havl
been so much worn during the last yea
must not be mistaken for these new
sleeves The adjustable sleeve may be tn
outcome of the undersleeve, but it is no
a duplicate OF it, for, instead of starting
from the elbow or below it, it is often 81
long that it reaches very close to tn
shoulder

The house should be on a north and
south line, so that both sides may re-
ceive direct sunlight during a part of
the day. John Cownie of Iowa rec
Ommends a house with a wide drive
way, with pens six or eight feet square
on either side opening into the drive
way, and each pen provided with
window for light and ventilation. l..
n. Bonham of Ohio recommends a
house with a row of sleeping pens on
either side Of a cement fioored alley,
opening into feed pens hoored with
cement. The sleeping pens are fOored
with boards laid in gravel or cinders.
Paving brick costs about twice as
much as cement
The first cut shows a rough sketch
Of a house arranged on plans similar
to these. The pens are eight feet
square. Each pen has two doors and
! a window. One door opens into the
driveway and the other into the feed
pen. If It is desired to protect the
hogs from visitors it may be found
we'll to dispense with the door into the
driveway, in which case the latter
need not be wider than necessary to
permit driving through with wagon
/ The windows open downward. Ven
tilators are provided in the roof. The
! feed rooms are located in either end
OF the house. They should be at least
as large as the pen. and may be or
either side OF the driveway or extend
entirely across the end of the house
4 In the latter case the driveway shOulC
be dispensed with or made wide enougl
TO enable a wagon to turn around II
it. The width OF the driveway vii
therefore depend on the presence o.

SOME GOOD STORIES
The Bryan Introduction.

Representative Champ Clark says
that when william J. Bryan went to
Lincoln he possessed no assets aside
from his legal education and his talent
for public speaking.
II appears that it was not long before
Mr.. Bryan made an impression by two
or three fine speeches he delivered, so
the local Democratic committee press
ed him into service for work in GER
tain hot campaign. At the suggestion
of the committee Mr.. Bryan repaired to
a town some thirty miles distant from
Lincoln where a meeting was to be held
at district school,
Now, as Mr.. Bryan had betrayed his
own expenses in coming to the town,
he thought it no more than fair that he
should get an advertisement out of the
meetiag So he jocularly suggested 10
/ the gentleman presiding over the affair
that he be introduced as that rising
young attorney from Lincoln, Mr. Will

To clinch the matter, Mr.. Bryan took
the chairman aside and carefully re-
hearsed him in the words Of the intro
duction. It soon appeared that he was
letter perfect.
The several local orators had their
say. Mr.. Bryan had placed himself last
on the list. When his turn came he
nodded to the chairman. The latter
arose. approached the front of the plat

ARRANGEMEST OF OUTSIDE FEEDING PENS
separate. The main part of the manure
will be left in the outside pens and can
easily be removed. If separate feeding
of the pigs is not necessary the outside
feeding pen need have no partitions.
This arrangement will doubtless be
more convenient for those who breed
only for market. The feeding pen con
meets with The pasture.
Where II is desirable to have both
sleeping and feeding pens under cover
the pens in the house can be enlarged.
A convenient plan for such pen is
used by the Michigan Agricultural col
lege. The pens are S by is feet. A
false wooden floor is built of strong
material, usually by inches, in two
sections Of equal size. This false floor
is made small enough to fit convenient
" into the pen and rests on cleats IN
the bottom of the pen. As rule. only
one SECTION Of the floor is used at O
time, this part of the pen being kept
bedded and used as a sleeping pen and
the remaining part being used as tbs
feeding floor.
