brushed his lamp. At a branch
in the path the two men parted.
His eyes flew from one to the
other as they went their differ

he shrank back swearing when
his little empty car reached the
top with a click. Once more he
took off his cap and trimmed
his light; then, hitching up,
drove slowly into the mine.

he slipped two more pellets into

Two months had passed since
he had signed his contract as
physician for the mines; but
scarcely two days had it taken
him to find out the spirit of
these sullen faced men. He re-
ceived a salary. 1t was his duty
to keep the miners well. If he
came dozen times a day, it
cost them nothing; and, as
though goaded by some innate
resentment, they claimed his
services every moment. He
had come with pity for the
strange, silent beings who toiled
in the darkness; hoped to win
their friendship in ninistering
to their needs. Great had been
his surprise. At first he rea-
soned gently, trying not to Of
fend; and then the truth came
to him. They saw no farther
than the circle of their little
lamps. Where the light hap
pened to fall upon the thing
they wanted they raised their
picks and struck.

The Grand Theatre.

There could be no more appropriate
name than The Grand for the popular
theatre of this name in the city of
Columbia. The attractions Of life like
moving pictures are both interesting
and pleasing to the large audiences
that daily attend, while the music and
songs are fine. The management de-
serves great credit for providing such
grand amusements TO pass away the
spare time we have when in the city,
and the price of admission is only 10c.

The Boys.

Let III drink to the old-time Boys
Az va sit hers dreaming tonish!
Lot az go them come with their pris-
tine joys
In tho summer when snnf1sh bite!
Let US smile aud chuckle and slap our
knees
When the visions We know 90 by.
OF the old-time Boys in the summer
lanes
With that cloudless blue in the sky!
Let US lift our glasses and give three
cheers
For the old-time Boys tonight,
AS wo see them pass through the
dreaming years
With their cheeks and their eyes so
bright!
Let us tell their stories and name each
Aud pray that in vale and hill
There are old-time Boys like we used
In the childhood country still!
Let US light our pipes and puff and
dream
Of the lads that we used to be,
With a. fishing pole owe the old crick
bank
And our backs 'gainst q willow
treet
Let Us find tho path through the black-
berry patch
Where tho bushes hid up quite
While we doffed our clothes and gave
one spring
In the river shining bright!
Let Us honor them, the old-timo Boys,
And keep their memory sweet!
They we're brown as berries upon the
stem,
And freckled, and bare of feet.
They wore tattered hats and their
overalls
Had only gallus brace;
But, oh, how the light of Gods sweet
day
Was reflected in their face!
Let US drink to the old-time Boys.
As we sit here dreaming tonight!
Let US wonder if the boys are just the
same
In that land of the old delight!
Let US fancy we see them come mp the
street,.
That we answer their whistle again
Aud have gone back there to the gol-
den days
From the haunting troubles of men!

OEBS ALSO SAYS
THAT 7 Fl IS THIED
Socialists Are Not Going Over
to Roosevelt

Washington, D. c., Oct 24-Eugene
Debs, the presidential candidate on the
Socialstic ticket, in an interview eX-
pressed the opinion that the outlook
from the Socialist viewpoint was en-
couraging; that the movement is grow
ing in substantial proportions all over
the country, and that at the coming ma
tional election his party will poll
enough votes to fix it as a permanent
factor in the national politics.
THE meetings in this campaign are
by far larger than they have ever been
before said Mr.. Debs, indicating the
rapid spread of socialism. In most of
the large cities, East and West, North
and South, the greatest auditoriums
have been taxed to their capacity, and
this becomes all the more remarkable
when the fact is considered that an ad-
mission fee is paid by every one who
attends these meetings. That there will
be a decided increase in the Socialist
vote this fall goes without saying. Four
years ago, within the dues-paying mem
bership of about 10000, the Socialist
party polled almost half a million
votes
This year the party has almost
quadrupled its membership, and, esti-
mating the increase upon the same rel
alive basis, it can be seen at a glance
that the Socialist party this year WI
Qaite likely poll vote sufficient 10

THE Progressive party will not get
any Socialist votes. On the contrary.
