THE 9-HOUR DAY.-The attitude
of the press toward the forced pas
sage of the 8-hour law is the most
convincing proof of their attitude to-
ward any movement that has for its
purpose the betterment of the condi-
lions of the worker.
That part of the press that ap-
proved the 8-hour legislation do so,
not because it is a needed reform be-
nefcial to- the worker, but because
being democratic in their policies it
is essential that they support their
standard bearer in whatever stand
he may take, especially so if that par
ticular stand can be converted into
plausible arguments to garner in the
necessary votes to a successful cleo
ton.

tommyrot about killing bedbugs, tip

The cost of living is getting higher

being exploited. Thousands of I'M

England gave this land to Penn in
payment of debt he owed PENIS
father. Penn might have taken 1t
and said no more about it, but he
wanted to treat the Indians who lived
on the land fairly, SO he practically
bought the land from them by giving
them presents in exchange.
One of the land marks of which
the Philadelphians are justly proud
is little red-brick two-story house,
which now stands in Paramount Park,
and which was once the home of VIII
liam Penn. Originally the house stood
on Letitia Street, near the dock where
the Kindly Quaker Landed, but it was
moved bodily to the Park for all gen.
erations to see and admire.
In another section of Philadelphia
known as Kensington, in the centre of
a pretty plot of ground stands mon
ument, which marks the spot where
once stood the great ELM TREE I'M
der which Penn and the Indians made
the treaty by which Penn obtained
their land. The tree itself had been
struck by lightning many years ago,
but the spot is sacred ground.

scornfully.

All the flowers in the fields were
fast asleep and as Mickey passed by
they sighed to be awakened I'D by

Me-" said little Mickey. II am

Are you?" said the Daisy and put
her white fingers up over her face
and went to sleep. Mickey waited pa
tiently for her to speak again but she
wouldn't say another word. So he
went on, his bright eyes peering
around to catch glimpse of the
Gates of Horn.
A little brook ran pleasantly along
and sang a dreamy song as it went.
''All the world has gone to sleep,
Gone to sleep, gone to sleep,
All things that walk or fly or creep
Have gone to sleep, gone to sleep,
But I'm awake forever"
over and over 1t sang it's little song

in his eyes and he sat down on the
soft cool grass, Splash-went
something into the stream, and the
drowsy little song was lost in a series
of swishes. Mickey sat up wide awake
again. Something was struggling in
the water and a husky voice cried
out:
"Hal-lup! Hal-lup! I'm drown
ing!"
Two long white ears came up out
of the water, and two bright eyes,
then-Glub-unde they went and a
pair of funny long furry feet and a
stump of a tail came up.
Wait" cried little Mickey, I'LL save
you!"
He took off his f1ip-1ap-f1ip slippers,
rolled up the legs of his little pink
nightie and waded carefully into the
stream. The water purled about him,
and he thought he heard the stream
laughing. Just then the ears came
up again and Mickey grabbed them
just in time to save them from another
ducking.
It was big white rabbit, as I guess
you've guessed already. Mickey pulled
him out and up to the bank.
