AS showing that poultrymen of the
country have kept we'll abreast with

worth more than that to him.
Being in hard luck, some time ago,
| had to make a frayed collar do SER
vice as long as possible, so l under
took to show Chinese laundryman,
in dumb show, that l wanted several
collars turned inside out. He seemed
to understand, but as he handed me
the check he inquired:
You no Mclean man; you no
talke Englishe!''
And he seemed quite sorry for me.
Little Freddy had gone into the
country for the first time, and his
grandfather had taken him out to see
a colt.
" There, Freddy" said the old
gentleman, did you ever see such q
little horse as that?'
Freddy never had, and his eyes

What's the matter with him,
grandpa?" he said. He hasn't any

The P-L., along with many East
ern papers, is publishing letters of
opinion as to what President Roose-
welt should do at the close of his
present term. Teddy" should re-
tire on ranch, taking the remainder
of whitewash left over from the
Woods trial, to daub his cabin and
out-houses; saw his big stick" in
tire-wood lengths; give his neigh
bors, in all business transactions, a
square deal"; cease writing so
many messages-beg pardon-I mean
letters. and live in reality the SIM
pie life" he SO ardently advocates.
This is what he should do. But has
he enough strenuous will-power
remaining to accomplish this? That
is the question.
Here is what Rev. w. w. Sharp,
pastor of the Seventh-Day Adventist
Church, in Seattle, says on the Sun

Sunday laws infringe upon the rights
OF conscience, because they enter the
realm of religion, which is the realm OF
Sunday laws are a species
OF class legislation, because they favor
one class of religionists at the expense
OF others. Sunday laws violate the
golden rule, which says, Therefore all
things whatsoever you would that men
should do to you. do ye even SO to
them" Those who ask others to OBJ
serve day which they do not regard as
sacred would not wish to be compelled
to observe day which they do not be-
lieve to be sacred.
A year or SO ago a man with a fam
lily on his hands was taken danger
ously i'll. There was no bread or
FIRE in the home and the outlook was
gloomy. He applied to a grocery
store for credit. When the pro-
prietor understood the situation he
sent around lot of provisions which
have never been paid for as yet, and
the account has been pigeon-holed.
Well, the man got well, and has
earned a good living ever since. Here
is the manner in which he showed
his gratitude toward his benefactor:
The groceryman had some trouble
with the labor people, not all. Well,
the very first person who wanted to
close the groceryman's doors and
drive him out of business was the
man whom he had befriended, when a
friend in need was q friend indeed.
The spirit of the labor movement is
oil right, but unfortunately its prin-
ciples are mis- represented and its pur-
poses thwarted by men like the one
who figures in this case.
