The Disappearing Wife

A woman in Silesia has been hailed
into court by her husband because
she persisted in growing thin in OPP
position to his wishes. In his petit
ton for divorce the Silesian gentle
man declared that the lady obtained
her husband under false pretenses,
for when he married her she was full
sized and of ample ana generous pro-
portions and he had every reason to
believe that she would remain so.
When slimness became the fashion,
however. she suddenly began fading
away in order to wear the latest
style of empire gown. She rode
horseback three hours each morning,
played tennis two hours. and then
took long fat-reducing walks. Com
plainant further AYERS that she ate
like a bird. How successful was this

LABOR DAY.

Organized labor stands in the lime

are standing still and the FORCES a. e
cold and dark. The men who work
with their hands have gone to the pic
mic grounds and the river and the coun-
try side or they are resting quietly at
home. If all the labor day parados
held this morning could be joined into
one procession it would be as long as
the Mississippi river. If all the meE
who observed this day could be mar
shaled into regiments the formation
would make Napoleon's grand army on
the march to Moscow look like a crowd
going to ball game in a village where
the home team always got beaten.
Labor day has arisen ito the proper
tions Of a national holiday, and its
progress is marked by less strikes,
higher wages. happier homes and more
education.
Only few years ago organized labor
was represented by weak factions scat
tered over the country and the men
then in power worked for their own
gain and did the cause incalcuIab,e
harm. Now the men who sit in council
have to show the why and wherefore
when they decide on a course of action.
There are still abuses and rotten
spots in the organization but the cause
is marching on and the men who hire
men no longer seek to stay its course,
but rather cooperate with those of it's
leaders who are Intelligent and broad
minded and have the good of the cause

At the set of the sun,
When our life work is done
With all its tangled web;
When the clouds drift low,
And the streams run slow,
And life is at its ebb:
As we near the goal
When the golden bowl

With what sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count7

nor the wealth we have stored
In per1Shable things of the earth
NOT the way we have trOd
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth:
Nor the gain we achieved
through the hearts we have grieyed.
And left unhelped by the way;
NOT the laurel of fame,
When for worldly acclaim
We toiled in the heat and the fray.

BUT the passing sweet thought
Or the good we have wrought.

Love out of the light
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him.

The Lawrence Democrat admits
that Uncle Bent Murdoch is making a
good fish warden but laments the
fact that he is letting his paper, the
El Dorado Republican go to pieces
in the meantime. This is not so.
The Republican never, even in the
palny days of its gifted editor, con-
tanned such delightful stories as it
does now. Uncle Bent's dissertations
on the catfish and bass and bullfrogs
that inhabit the state fishery at Pratt
are as entertaining and full of in
terest as the Brer' Rabbit stories of
Uncle Remus or the Adventures of
Alice in wonderland. The Ell Dorado
Republican, in losing the fire and
vigor that have animated its pages
for so many years, has gained more
than this in philosophy and the de-
lightful "reminiscences of Uncle Bent
while serving his state in the capacity
of fish warden.
