THE LAUGHING BOY.

THE LAUGHING BOY.
Just laughing all the time it seems,
Through the day and in your
dreams;
Everything you hear or see
Somehow fills you full O. glee;
And your old dad watchin' by.
Who has often had to sigh.
Can't help softly chucklin too
Since the worlds so gay to you.
When a boy is eight years old,
Winters not so very cold.
Time was, Oh, so long ago,
was glad 10 see the snow;
Dull the day or bright the sun,
l could always have my fun.
And full many a youthful day
Just like you, 1 laughed away.
Nothing seems TO fret you much,
Light today is troubles touch.
Rain or shine. it's all the same,
You can always have a game;
Sorrows lightly pass you by,
You still laugh when we must sigh.
When you're eight years old. I guess.
Everything spells happiness.
Watchin' you. so full o fun
And forever on the run.
Your old dad who's come to care
And the burdens he must bear,
Can't help wiShin' that the years
Will be slow 10 bring you tears.
And he prayS that all the while
You will keep your merry smile.
Keep the twinkle in your eyes
Even whe- you're worldly wise.
Keep the love of all things good
Even under sorrows hood.
Grow TO manhooAl as you must.
But in men ret2iST9our trust.
And though bRdenS on YOU pile.
Strive somehow TO keep your smile

Resolved. That labor should share with cap

without taking sides the York dispute, it
may De acknowledged that the proposition with

shared the phenomenal prosperity of the last few
years to a marked degree, and is no more entitled
to exemption from the present hardships than tho
rest of humanity Moreover if business depression
increases. the man who has a good job will be
lucky even if hanging onto it involves some
cessIons. The only sure way for labor avoid
reductions is for it to increase its production, by
