MANSFIELD'S LONELY MEALS,

PduI WIIStaCh III ScrIbner s.
 There were two meals which Mansfield always ate alone, breakfast and the light repast of broth and oysters late in the afternoon. An empty stomach attacked his nerves and set his temper on edge. In the morning he was in no convenient mood until he had the invariable coffee and bacon. After a somewhat rigid ab- stinence during the balance of the day and evening the fatigue of a performance edged his nerves till his midnight supper, which, with a troop of friends about him, warmed him into the, sunniest humor of the day. A book or play was the com- panion of his solitary meals.

Translated by Ben Jonson. Drink to me only with thine eyes,
 And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup
 And I'll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of loves nectar sup,
 I would not change for thine. I sent thee, late. rosy wreath,
 Not so much honoring thee, As giving it a hope that there
 It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent'st it back to me: Since when, it grows, and smells, swear, Not of itself. but tho

Government Receipts for Liquor.

While l did not expect to see the in- ternal revenue receipts from the liquor business dwindle to point that would be appreciably felt by the United States gov ernment," said man who voted for pro- hibition. q was surprised to find that, notwithstanding the spread of dry terri tory, the report of the treasury depart ment for the fiscal year 1908 showed an actual increase in the number of saloon licenses issued and an increase of over $2O0, 900 from the tax on beer, as com pared with 1907 There was a falling off of about s15,OOO,O 900 in the whisky tax, but in the enormous total of about $200 O00, 600 collected by the government that is re- garded asa small matter and is at tributed by Secretary Cortelyou to the in- dustrial depression. In 1903, when there was a slight business depression, even a larger slump in the internal revenue receipts, as compared with 1902, was re- ported.
 Tt seems that so long as the United States government permits liquor to be manufactured there will always be peo- pie somewhere in the country to buy and consume it. If we could only force the prohibition wave over the whole country at one and the same time, we would be able to root out the liquor traffic, but in so large a republic as ours that dream will hardly be realized In past years the great statesmen of the United States were never friendly to sumptuary laws, and comparatively few of the republican leaders today are advocates of prohibit tion. How it will be 10 years hence, heaven only knows"

Strength of Stock Market.

"The strength of the stock market en- courages and stimulates optimism said business man.
 Notwithstanding the rapid advance ln railroad and industrial stocks, and the note of caution sounded by Wall street bankers, the stock market refuses to go slow. After the sharp decline of a week ago, resulting from large spectators talk ing their profits. prices started up again this week and the chances are they will reach an appreciably higher level before there is another slump.
 Industrial activity will not return to normal conditions before the new year, but so confident is the business world that 1909 will be a year of healthy trade and industrial development, that higher prices are anticipated by investors in stocks and bonds. In other words, the ac- tivity in speculative and investment se- curities is but a forerunner of the good times about to come"

and that may relieve the suffering
and strengthen the hands of labor.
We lay upon every man elected to
any executive or legislative office the
first duty of striving to procure what
ever is for the workers most immed-
late interest, and for whatever will
lessen the economic and political
powers OF the capitalist and increase
he like powers of the worker.
But, in so doing, we are using
hese remedial measures as means to
the one great end of the cooperative
commonwealth. Such measures of
'elief as we may be able to force from
capitalism are but preparation OF
he workers to seize the whole powers
If government, In order that they
nay thereby lay hold of the whole
5ystem of industry, and thus come in
10 their rightful inheritance.
To this end we pledge ourselves,
rs the party of the working class, to
use all political power as fast as 1t
shall be entrusted to us by our fell
low-workers, both for their immed-
late interests and for their ultimate
and complete emancipation. To this
end we appeal to all the workers of
America, and to all who will lend
their lives to the service of the work
ars in their struggle to gain their
own, and to all who will nobly and
disinterestedly give their days and
energies unto the workers cause, to
cast in their lot and faith with the
socialist party. Our appeal for the
trust and suifrages of our fellow
workers is at once an appeal for their
common good and freedom, and for
the freedom and blossoming of our
common humanity. In pledging our
selves, and those we represent, to be
faithful to the appeal which we make
we believe that we are but preparing
the soil of that economic freedom
from which will spring the freedom
of the whole man.
