A matter worth pondering upon is the
fact that it has been estimated that more
than 100000 was spent in connection
with the proposed constitution which the
voters OF the state of New York summa.
riiy rejected at the polls last month. The
greater part of this sum went to pay the
expenses of the basic lawmakers, but we
don't find the New York newspapers
growing frantic over such fruitless ex.
penditure of money. And yet, how they
barked when the Industrial Commission
spent only s500,o00 to investigate indus

MIsDIREcrED CONCERN.

Governor William Spry of Utah told
this story when reference was made to
the ease with which one may make a
bad guess:
One afternoon motherly looking
woman was going down the street of y
big city when she noticed large po-
liceman leading a small child by the
hand. Instantly the motherly heart was
touched.
"Oh, Mister Policeman" she impul-
sively cried, rushing up to the pair,
may l kiss her just oncef"
why, yes, guess so, lady" was the
obliging rejoinder of the officer.
Poor little girl" sympatheticaily e
marked the motherly one, as she appl1
the kiss. "She doesn't look as if she had
been washed for week. / don't know
how some people can be so negligent
with children. What are you going to
do with her, officer"
Il amt goin' to do nothin' with her."
was the startling rejoinder of the police
man. "She is my own kid"

MRS. MURPHY SKIPPED.

In a certain village is a cottage, the
front door of which must be raised a lit
tie to be opened, and for this purpose a
hatchet is generally used.
One night knock was heard at the
door and the small son was sent to open
the entrance.
Who's there ?" asked the youngster.
Its me- answered the person out
side
The youngster, knowing the voice,
shouted back in a tone that the person
outside could hear:
"oh, mother, it's Mrs. Murphy; get
the hatcheti"
Mrs. Murphy didn't wait.

Goodbye

Having disposed of The Bulletin, Mr..
G. C. Houston and Mr.. L. j. Hines, l
have retired from all connection there
with Mcssrs. Houston and Hines will
continue the business and all accounts
due The Bulletin are payable to them
and they will pay all bills due. Both
are well and favorably known to the
trade union movement Of Denver and
Colorado and are sure to make n success
of the paper.
The main reason is that recent events
prevent me from giving the business the
full personal attention it should have.
1 most heartily thank the business
men and labor people for the patronage
extended during the past two years, and
hope that they will do even better for
my successors.
Respectfully,

It is down at the end of Poverty Lane,
In the country of Everywhere,

A newsboy will guide you there.
No landlord tells you your rent is due,
No matter how long you stay,
No lackeys attend you, but que voulea

There is nothing at all to pay.
No housemaid knocks at your chamber

No matter how long you dream,
You eat-what is left from the day be-

Its ceilings are blue and gold,
There is turf--sometimes for the Sleep

To prestige thou dost defer,
But the world would stare could it read

On thy ponderous register.
For poets and artists and fleeing kings,
And statesmen of great renown.

And slept on thy pallets brown.
All, welll with your struggles and want

The world has little to do;
But when you have climbed to the peak

What matterss At last, though you win
or you fail,
You shall sleep wherever you are,
In a little underground room of this inn,
