shun the Man Who Lauds Work

1 heard such a splendid lecture
last night" said the land lady with
enthusiasm. "Mr. Vampire was the
speaker and his subject was Labor
He pointed out that labor is the pan
acea for all human Ills. and said
there would be little woe in the
world If people would only work. 1t
was most inspiring lecture"
IF your Mr., Vampire is so infat-
uated with work" said the star
boarder. "he should quit foollng
around the lecture platform and get
job somewhere. I suppose he calls
lecturing work, but it isn't, Mrs.
Jiggers. A man like Vampire gets
hold of an old moth-eaten lecture at
a secondhand store and then ne
makes it do duty until 1t is bagged
at the knees and run down at the
heel. II he would prepare a new and
original lectuer once month, or
once in five years. he might refer to
himself as horny-handed son of
toll, but, as l have said, he makes
the same lecture do until 1t is COW

IL get so tired of these lecturers
and writers who boost labor as the
only thing worth while, that my
heart Is sore in my bosom. If what
your friend Vampire says is true,
that people who work have no
troubles, there would be no strikes
in this country, Mrs. Jiggers. People
whose wages are too low, or whose
faces are ground down by the iron
heel, wouldn't think of protesting.
The joy of digging postholes or car
rying brick would be a sufficient re-

on earth, and no sane man will en-

Among the alleged orders given by
Madero during the last week Of his

small blaze had been discovered.
He requested the audience to file out
promptly, but without confusion.
There was a quick shutting of feet,
and several persons had broken into
a run when Boyle signaled to Rogers
at the piano to start something"
Rogers struck at once into popular
air, and as Boyle's voice rang out dis
tinctly, without a CULVER, all signs of
panic vanished. In the dark the
singer and the pianist kept on with
the song
Boyle's brother, Thomas, who at
tends the blind man, was across the
street being shaved when he saw
smoke pouring FROM the theater. Col
larless, with half Of his face shaved

theater and fought his way, through
the crowd that TANNED the stairs to

door just in time to see Rogers rush
the blind man through rear door.
