study his companion in the wheel,
while question, suddenly occurring,
reiterated itself in his brain. This
man-who was he? And what did he
know Of the mountebank, or his, JAG
ques', dealings with the clown? That
his captor was no soldier of the rock,
or belonged there, the hunchback felt
by this time assured, and q, growing
suspicion of the others identity
brought home with new force to the
dwarf the thankless part chance, per-
haps, had assigned to him in that
nights work. And at the full realiza-
ton Of the consequences, should his
surmise prove correct-what must ul-
timately happen to himself in that
event, when unwilling cooperation at
the wheel should become known-al-
most had he again reached the des-
perate point Of calling out; but at
that moment a turn in the wheel
brought to the fevel of the aperture,

And at the unprotected side Of the

bring the issue to a conclusion. One

Inc S0Caled Democrats Who Have Abandoned Principles

The candidate seeking the votes and the
Office always pretends to stand for something
1t would be ridiculous for candidate for
Congress, or for the Presidency, to ask cleo

never fail to beg support on the ground that
they represent certain principles. If elected,
they will vote for said principles

the existence Of different political parties.
There would be no meaning in party names.

that humanity is capable of believing any-

In the November number, 1913, are letters
from lunatics who write to the magazine,
telling what great things St. Anthony has
done for them.
In each case, the lunatic assumes that the
Saint keeps account-books, and that his servi-

course, are the proper persons to receipt the
accounts!
You must azo0ay8 take the priests word

Is the World About TO Go Crazy Again? Ronanst Priests Ar
Doing Their Utmost Overthrow and Common Sense

THERE was time when the fanatical
priests goaded their superstitious dupes
into madness because the Saracens held Jeru-
salem and the empty sepulchre Of Christ
For more than hundred years. Europe
poured her armies into the East to ''rescue"
an empty tomb.
Tens of thousands of men lost their lives,
and their fortunes, in tl-.5 vain struggle.
The "Infdels'' still hold Jerusalem, the
"Holy Places" and the empty grave
There was a time when thousands of chill
dren left their homes in Europe to 90 East
and rescue this empty grave. The Romanist
priests led the children and the children all
persisted miserably.
There was time when bands of human
beings, excited by the priests, rampaged
around in Europe, scourging themselves with
cruel whips, and consoling themselves, reli-
giously, by numbering all the Jews that fell
into their pious hands.
There was time when people went crazy
about witches and wizards, being infamed
thereto by the priests.

In the dreadful emergency of Civil War,
the rich capitalists of New York, Boston and

This was the third time that the cat came
back. Jefferson had killed it, first Jackson
had killed it, second,
Then Jackson paid off the national debt,
and the people, before the war, were almost
universally free, prosperous and happy.
There were no bread lines, no soup-kitch-

upon dead industries, and pick clean the
bones of dead Labor.
