Not the Usual Romance.

Recently one of our most fastidious
young men bought pair of overalls
and found in them the name Of the
sewing girl who made them.
He very promptly wrote her letter
with all the effusiveness necessary in
such case and in due time received
a reply, which, however, was void of
the romance usual in-such cases. Here
it is: Il am working girl, it is true,
but make good living and do not
care to support a husband, as would
do if married some silly noodle who
gets mashed on a girl he never saw.
Permit me to say that do not know
how my card got in that pair of over
alls, and that when do marry, if
ever, it will be some fellow who can
afford something better than a Accent
pair of breeches. "-Muscotah Re.

DR.. Wilson said it had been an interesting

of seeking for certain thing that had not

He contended that an effective employers
liability act should be enacted and should
be arranged on the accident insurance plan
to obviate suits. He commended the direct
primaries and said politicians were imita-

by a boss not elected. who ruled by his
