Adam. When he lived he had the
whole world to himself, then he got
lonesome. Adam wanted a peach,

1t is most annoying the way Wo-

around the polls (Poles). Why
don't SGey hang around every ua-
tionalitJ. Whenever the women get
the vote over the entire country |
am going to suggest just two voting
polls-North Pole and South Pole.

men are going to form a union to
protect their rights. Did you ever
stop to consider what it would look

today. The lime makers business is
slack, tne spiritualists' business Is
only medium, the tailors' is just

along, the butchers just manage to
make both ends meat, the elevator
men have their ups and downs, the
carpenters are mailing everything
that they can get their hands on, the
pickpocKets are the only ones that
are taking things easy. Look at the
clock makers, the hands wont strike.

the trusts, the Republicans are try
ing TO down the Democrats, and the
Prohibitionists are trying to down
the whisky, and great many people
are doug their best to assist them
to down what is left.
