The President in his annual
sermon preaches that children
should not be allowed to work.
Does not this depend upon the cir-

A Lesson in Printer's Talk
It is a notorious fact that a print-
ler does not go to a doctor when he
is "out of sorts,' nor to a bak'-r for
t "pie," nor to the woodpile when he
wants a "Mick, nor to hell when in
search of a "devil," nor4o the Bible
in search of a "rule," nor does he
hunt a gunshop for a "shooting
stick," nor the furniture store for
"furniture," nor to the bank when
he is in need of "quoins." W hen he
has a "dirty case" lie does not hunt
a lawyer, neither does he seek a
pretty girl when "going to press."
He does not have to kiss in order to
i"uiHke up, nor leave the ollice sim-
ply because the foreman says "pull
j out, boys," nor have to join a torch
light procession to "carry the ban-
ner," nor use violence when he 1
! "kicks the press," nor is he a hen be
cause he "nets." He is uot uecessari
