spoke like young gentlemen. with the
accent that hetokens a good education.
He yielded without protest.
They sat three abreast in hanson,
and the vehicle scurried of toward the
Westminster bridge road.
Mason was in the center. His giant
form leaned over the closed doors OF
the cab. but he turned his head With
interested eagerness as one or other of
his sons addressed him.

didn't even know you were alive"
"Of course. of course. Somebody has
been looking after you well. That's
clear enough. They wouldn't be always

1t is not the intention of the subse-
quent article to call in question at all
the integrity of Samuel Com pers as a
labor advocate, nor TO question his de-
votion to the interests of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor or to laboring
men in general, but it is to show that
when he assumes to declare his pre-
ference for M. Bryan he says some
things as an advocate of Organism
which are contrary to some things he
has done in the interests of labor. In
other words, we wish to call attention
to the fact that Samuel Gompers in
the present campaign is defender of
democratic policies and the democra-
tic candidate in the same way that
any democrat espouses the cause Of
that party. His advocacy of Mr.. Bry-
an is not alone nor solely because he
believes Bryan's policies better for la
Dor than the republican policies, but
because he is a democrat; nor is his
opposition to James E. Watson based
on the value of Mr.. Watson's services
to union labor as compared with Mr..
Marshall, but because Mr.. Gompers is
a democrat and Mr.. Marchall is anoth-
er democrat, while Mr.. Watson is a
republican. The labor issue Is infini-
testimal in Mr.. Gomper's plan of cam
paign.
You never heard of Mr.. Gompers
trying to elect republican," was the
significant summing up of that gentle
mans attitude toward the two great
parties given by Hon. James E. Wat
son in his recent speech. Mr.. Watson
had Just told how he and Mr.. Com
pers had come into oratorical conflict
in several different congressional dis
tricts two and four years ago-in each
case Mr.. Gompers endeavoring to
elect a democrat
And that is one of the chief things
to remember in reading accounts of
his platform or typewriter appeals to
working men to turn their backs on
the only national party that has ever
given this country prosperity in near
ly three-quarters of a century, or can
submit to labor anything like the mag
| nificent record of laws in behalf of
labor as was presented by Mr.. Watson
recently in an address.
Mr.. Gompers himself officially com.
mended Mr.. Watson in the following
terms:
Gompers commends Watson.

Many Uses.

''You do not need to go far out of st.

said Il gentleman connected with Que OF

early days was water, and nobody would
buy q section of land anywhere in the
Ozark region unless Il was provided with
a spring, The house was usually located
as near the spring us convenience sug-
gested, and then after the home was
secured, the next step was TO build a
snring house The walls were made
from TO 4 feet thick Of any rough stone
that happened TO be handy. The door
was of heavy oak boards and fastened
with stout paddock. Inside the mouse,

the spring bowl was exeavated SO as to
form a pool having a uniform depth Of
3 to q inches. In this the choicest dairy
products were placed in order that they
might DC coolest, while overhead stout
nails or hooks were fastened 10 the raf-
tiers TO support huge ronsts. legs of mat
ton and veal, which AT the temperature
Of 10 degrees or thercabout would keep
fresh many days.
RATS and mice were almost unknown
about the spring house, but small snakes
and half grown frogs were numerous.

unusual commotion IN the Jar OF milk
she was handling she was not all sur
prised or frightened either when d wa

when the head Of a frog appeared in the
milk pitcher at breakfast The pitcher
was promptly emptied into the pigs
trough. and the frog, ii not deyoured hy

branch. Nobody was blamed, for every
one knew that the covers of the jars
did not fit and that frogs aud snakes
were to be expected IN a spring house.
