AS they passed around the corner OF the sta
ton we saw the self contained young man
reach in his bosom for something. Good
lands of shredded Goldfish we thought, he is
going to set 'em up the same as the lady in
side has done to her baby, but not so. He
drew out bottle of something that had fa-
miliar tint and odor The other fellow grasp
ed it with evidences of delight, and made it
stand bottom side up on the end of his mouth
for big round minute by the second hand.
That chap is headed for the tannery and un-
less he breaks away from the essence of corn
nubbins, his hide will be soaking in the vats
Of the family graveyard before he knows it.
Tanning is a great industry and extends all
the way from congress to the unbusted trusts
of the commonwealth. 1t even percolates the
moral ethics of horse trading and has branch
offices in the haunts of contractors who build
state capitols. 1t is unwelcome fact that
men in their greed for gain, study schemes to
skin the unlucky sons Of Adam instead of
patching the punctures made by the thorns of
life's hedgerow with court plaster and salve
After all, the great majority of us are not SO
much wiser and more witty than the old cow
All around us the tanneries roar and grind
but as long as we can see a wisp OF grass
ahead, we 60 on in the even tenor of our way,
unconcerned and untroubled except when the
landlord or tax collector make their regular
visits.
If we really were wiser, we would realize
that we have that greatest of privieges---the
ballot; and when conditions became unsatis-
factory, we would simply initiate new condi-
tons and go to the polls and back them up
by our vote. If taxation became burdensome
or an arrogant trust goaded us with the rowels
OF immoderate prices, our remedy would be
the same-square away with our mi ghty weap-
on, the ballot OF an American freeman, and all
the tanners of human hides in the nation
would quail and cover like ours before the
LASH
But the pity of it is we have not yet discov
cred the power that lies within our grasp A
nation for one hundred and thirty-three years
with, the inalienable right under the declara-
ton and the constitution, to free speech, free
press and free suffrage Speech has been un-
restrained, the press has hurled its thunder
bolts without interference, but suffrage has
been but fiction for years and why? Only
because the people have failed to comprehend
that in the ballot lies the potent remedy for
every political, business and social evil in the
nation.
We certainly are slow. 1t is highly proba-
bic that it will take another hundred years for
the people to discover themselves. The bun
ko steerers of high finance, the political bood-
lers do not need to become alarmed, expect
ing the people to rouse up suddenly from the
doze in which they have been oblivious to all
that SO closely and PERSONALLY concerns them.
Generations will be born, flourish and expire,
and the industrious tanner will still find hides
to be had for the asking. The perfecting of
the human race is no lightning process.
Still progress is being made. 1t is not SO

TANNERIES.

The other day while coming past the man.
moth tannery at Laporte, we looked into the
field Just over the road and saw number of
COWS grazing contentedly. We we're struck
by the irony of the situation. Here the COW
stood feeding without thought of anything
beyond the next bite of succuent grass, and
lust yonder, with clanking, roaring wheels,
humping hammers, splashing vats, thunder
inc rollers and Kissing steam stands factory
erected and operated for the express purpose
of tanning her hide, and the hides of all her
sisters and brothers.
The old cow feeding across the way knew
nothing about that. Unless her smellers were
pretty blunt, she could not help noticing an
odor that never exuded from buttercup nor
a clover blossom, but if she noticed it she said
nothing to us on the subject. To the best of
our knowledge and belief she had no idea that
The sweet perfume upon the air,
Was borne from COW skins over there.
1t seems pity that cows don't know more.
Aren't you glad you are man and know
more than COW? You would never be
caught eating your grub in the shadow of an
institution built for the purpose OF tanning
your hide, now would you? Let's see.
Don't suppose it was you that we saw a few
weeks ago licking your chops as the unctuous
candidate sozzled you with taHy and made
YOU believe his election would make baled hay
grow on the prongs of your stump fence. He
is tanner, sir. He wants your hide.
Frequently we have astonishing offers OF
stock in some gold mine in the west. We are
immune from temptation owing to the tact
that we have nothing to invest. Probably 1t
we had, we would bite and get our hide tan

He has bottle in his hand There is some

that is an extract which will tan hide more
thoroughly, and more rapidly than any other
process known to science. We are now pass
ing saloon; do you smell that odor? Well
that is tannery for human hides. This is
where the Devil gets most of his soul leath-
er. If you don't want him to get your cher
ished hide, don't pasture around here.
A few evenings since we were at the station
waiting for the train. A motherly looking
foreigner was there with divers bundles and
parcels. Among the baggage was an infant
which walled in foreign tongue we could not
understand. The mother however knew what
was wanted, but was disinclned to grant the
favor The child was persistent the mother
obstinate She turned him over and tanned
his hide bit, but that only added few fresh
tones to his tale of woe At last in despair
she yielded the point in controversy, drew
forth the vials of nourshment and the little
rascal closed his argumedt at once. So we
thought we had no longer a place in those
feeding grounds, and went outside to do some
ystematic waiting. Directly we saw two
