INCREASINGLY AT IT.
Some writer, speaking of the
Socialist party, says 1.-The agi.
tation is ceaseless and never
abates a whit of its vigor. The
fight is on 365 days of the year.
Nor do 1 know of a Socialist
who wouldn't willingly leave
his bed at any hour of the night
for a tair chance of making a
convert. Every man In the
party is a working missionary.
No opposition can stand against
such a spirit as this.
Why can't the temperance
people learn a lesson from the
Socialists, and bester thep.
selves to bring about results.

GERS off their trail The child's body
was found in a pool of water on the
outskirts of a marsh, third of a mile
from the fathers home, by hunter.
The theory of the officers is that the
lad wandered into the outskirts of the
marsh and was unable to find his way
out, finally dying of cold, hunger and
exhaustion. The water in which his
body was found rose and fell with each
successive rain. and the body may have
been moved many feet by the rising and
falling of the water.
But the theory of the officers is not
accepted by thousands of people who
interested themselves in the search for
the boy. The father will never accept
any such theory, he declares. He still
firmly believes that the child was held
for some time by kidnapers, who be-
came alarmed at the worldwide search
for the child and allowed him to starve
to death, taking the body to the place
where it was found. He declares hun
dreds of persons passed within few
feet of the spot where the body was
found during the search for the missing
boy and that it would have been prac-
ticaIly impossible for them to have
overlooked the corpse.
