HIS CHIN!
wake up Of an evening in his little
life. He won't bother you for single
instant, Mr.. Bowser. All you've got
to do is to look in once in awhile and
see that the eat isn't sucking his
breath."
ssWhy. of course" replied Mr.. Bow
ser, who was feeling good natured to-
ward the world. ''I'll take just as good
care of the little chap as you could
yourself. Bless his little heart, but
wish we had fourteen like him! What
q picture Of innocence. he presents! NO
wonder it doesn't take the soul OF q
& child over two seconds to go to heaT-
en!',
Left Baby With Him.
@Its awfully kind Of you" observed
the mother. ssbut I shan't trespass on
your good nature more than a quarter
Of an hour. I just want to speak about
five words to two ladies"

an. Stay an hour if you want to. III
have my eye out for the cat. I'd be
happy father if / had q house tuii OF
such little angels to come home to. BY
thunder, but he's got dimple in his
ehinr,
Mrs. Bowser looked at Mr.. Bowser
rather. doubtfully. but he motioned for
her to 20 on, and she went. The baby
had been carefully deposited on the
diyan. and the cat located in the back
ward, and then Mr.. Bowser sat down to
his cigar
"How proud Jim Taylor must be
over kid like that" he said between
the puffs, but he only said it once. A
vigorous yell from the back parlor lift
ed him up and carried him into the
house on the run. Three other yells
reached him before he reached the In
FAINT. It's face had been as white as
milk when he saw it last. 1t had also
been as smooth as satin. Now he be-
held it as red as a beet and as full of
wrinkles as washboard.
t1Here, what's the matter?' he ex-
claimed as he began to pat the little
ones head in fatherly way.
Yells Grew Stronger.
The eyes came wide open, and the
yells grew stronger, while the feet
kicked out as if young Taylor was
dancing a hornpipe.
81 see," said the fatherly Bowser
after standing and scratching his ear
for moment, 'he wants to be taken
up. Come up here. angel one.'
Young Taylor was lifted up. He was
wide awake now, and. though he was
no veteran, he was old enough to real
he that there had been some crooked
work going on. The nurse hadn't
changed the infants in the cradle in
order to work in her own offspring for
good thing. but he had gone to sleep
in his mothers arms and wakened to
find baldheaded man hauling him
around. He resented the change In a
way that made the welkin ring.
Mr.. Bowser tossed him up and down.
Result-nil.
Mr.. Bowser chirped and clucked and
whistled. Result-more nil.
Mr.. Bowser then cantered him
through to the parlor windows, sing
ing as he went. but the youngster now
felt himself to be master Of the situa'
ton, and he went in for q whoopins
old time. He yelled when he was held
right side up. and he yelled when be
was held head downward. lie Was

The Cotton Mill Boys.

About this time every election year
some of the candidates for Office be-
come very much interested in the
"cotton mill boys'' as they affection
ately term the men who work in the
cotton mills and whose vote has
grown to quite a considerable volume
and become very important in elec-
tions. These candidates who never
bother about the "cotton mill boys''
between elections suddenly come
around and represent themselves
as the lifelong and devoted friends
of the, men who work in the mills.
To hear them talk it would seem that
they do not particularly care anything
about any other class of the popu-
lation, but their whole souls are wrap
ped up in the welfare of the "cotton
mill boys'' and they yearn to be elec-
ted to some Office where they can do
something for the mill people.
Now, it is all right for candidates to
go among the cotton mill men and
make their acquaintance and address
them on public questions and ask
their support in the elections, but the
candidate who puts it on two thick
and makes too much Of the "cotton
mill boys'' is doing himself more
harm than good The mill people are
! not fools and they will not rush to the
support of any candidate because he
tries to hatter and tickle them with
his praise and interest. They are
anxious to discharge the duties Of
citizenship by casting their votes for
those they consider to be the best
men to hold public office and repre-
sent the people. They are pretty
well informed about what's what and
who's who and they know when a
candidate is making too much of them
or promising them too many good
things.
TheyF know that there are many
kinds of people in this country and
besides those who work in the cotton
mills and factories there are those
who work in stores and offices and
shops and in the fields and on build
ings and in many other lines OF ac-
tivity and all those have their rights
to share lof representation in gov
ernmental affairs, and, of course, get
|. the same attention from the candi-
dates and !. from the public officials
that the factory !people get. "The
cotton mill boys'' therefore, are quite
sure to know when a candidate is
OVERRIDING the thing and endeavoring
to appear more interested in them
than he is in any other class of people.
They are apt to be insulted that any
candidate should put such a small
estimate on their intelligence as to
think he can capture their votes by
such transparent tactics. The factory
people are just as we'll able and fitted
| to pick out good men to hold the
Offices as any people are and no more
80 and they know it and no candidate
for Office will make any substantial
| progress in their estimation, and
esteem by proceeding on any other
theory.-Spartanburg Journal.

Waterloo, Ia, Aug. THE Demo

nomination of candidates for governor
and other state officers assembled
here today and was called to order
by D. w. Hamilton of Sigourney, as
temporary chairman. The initial pro-
ceedings indicated that the conven-
ton would be a harmonious gathering
from its opening to its close. A strong
Bryan sentiment is manifest, and the
resolutions are expected to declare in
favor of the Nebraskan and the polit-
ical principles of which he is the chief
apostle. The Hearst element is nu-
merically weak and is not expected to
put up any opposition to the majority
sentiment. There are several names
mentioned for each nomination from
the governorship down and the make
up of the ticket is problematical.
