Not much is now being said by our

labor OF Europe. Poor fellows. they now
have job that will last them until the
roses come again, what few of them may
be spared from the cruel battle field.
While we deplore the fact that they arc
engaged in war to satisfy the egotlstic
crowned heads OF Europe, we are exceed
ingly glad that this much OF the dope
has been taken from the orations of our
calamity howlers.
Our people try TO keep up with the
times. They read and think for them
selves. They are well posted upon all
political questions Of the day. Much
better posted than many of the great ca
speakers sent among them to enlighten
them upon political questions. The day
OF campaign speeches and speakers like
many other old customs, has passed away.
All OF which We should surely be thank
iul for. The day was when a brass band
and speaker with more brass than the
band could sway great crowds and per-
haps in many instances change great
number OF votes. But that day has long
since passed. Let us pray.

VISITS Oh HOME AND
FINDS OLD SWEETHEART
fBy Latest NAIL

5 NEW YORK. Miss Held Mas,
who was born within the Arctic circle
in Northern Sweden, came here with
her brother and settled in Oakland.
Cal, ten years ago Her brother pros
pered and she did also. Recently she
decided to take a trip to her native
town and then settle down in Oakland
and devote the rest of her life and
her means TO charitable work. She
returned by the White Star liner Ce-
dric with an old schoolmate, Gustav
Goblin. Gustav, who had gone to
London and succeeded, made up his
mind about the same time the woman
started for her old home to pay a visit
10 his. He was startled when he was
reintroduced to her to learn that she
was his former playfellow. Gustav
asked the young woman to be his
wife and Miss Held accepted.
They were not compelled, to get
married before landing because Miss
Held is a citizen of California. The
couple said they would marry at her
brothers home soon after arriving at
Oakland. He does not know they are
coming and they intend to surprise
him
