"Don't torn n mi' wii

All his amusements low their fascina-
lion if he has any ones permission to in
dul^c in them, and no on. can convince
liim that the tune will ever come when
lie will think more of a girl than of a
dog.
If he is hungry and opens the ice box

run for cloths to wipe up wl^at he is go-

From the time he plays marbles un-
der the street light until he is old and
toothless, he has to account o soine wo
man why he didn't come home earlier.
If he doesn't hold the baby lie is a
brute, and it' he holds it and it cries his
wife looks at him as if he had pinched
it.
His children ars dissatisfied with him
because he docsn't keep a candy store.
When he goes home at night to forget
the worries of the day he hears so many
new worries that he is glad to get back
to his work next morning.
He discovers early ia his married life
that he says the wrong thing, and after
his daughters have been in school a few
years he also discovers that he says it
the wrong way.
To hi
home oi
locals are only an incident,
as polite in serving a meal ae
demands he starves to death
All he gets out of ( lirutin
bilk to pay; all the glorious K.
means to him is that he hah
pants pressed.

ho much that he feels as friendly to a-.v
one who is kind to him as if he were .
lost pup.
j If ho tells his Wife of an increase iu
I is wages she doesn't congratulate him
She gets a far-away look in her eyes as
f calculating how many yards it will
fake for a new dress. If he tells her
they must economize lie is reminded of
liis cigars.
If, in a loving but bewildered spirit.
I., enters a dry goods store to buy his
wit. a present, all the appreciation he
gets is her desire to know what on earth
possessed him to buy a thing like that.
There isn't at any time anything of such
little importance around his home as
the underwear of the man who lives
t here.
He suffers in silence, and his reward
is that the figure of l*eaeo is represent-
ed by a woman. He never satisfies his
wife because he lacks appreciation of
what sho calls art.
He never gets credit. If, as a boy,
he is good to his mother, every one
■ays: 4 4 He ought to be. She is his
mother:" If kind to his wife, they
say: "He ought to be. Isn't she his
witof" And if good to his children,
every one says: "Why shouldn't he
be? Isn't he their father?''

IRON" WORKERS STRIKE
San Francisco, Sept. 4.—The members
o! the Structural Iron Workers are on
ftrike for an increase of wages from $."
to "ffl per day. There has been, so it is
affirmed, an understanding among the
contracting firms that this increase was
to be conceded to, but no definite date
set. Owing to the fact that no agree-
ment could be reached as to the time
the ironworkers ceased work. Several
firms have already acceded to the raise,
among them being the firm of which the
local secretary of the Erectors' Asso-
ciation is a member. It is predicted
tliut the entire matter will be adjusted i
in a short time.

leged jury bribing against Clarence
Darrow iu the Haiti case has been de-
nied. It is also reported that all the
judges of the superior court of Los
Angeles have refused to sit in the case,
making it necessary to call in an out
side judge. If the case goes to trial
the evidence in the former trial will be
made to do service again, which savors
of persecution instead of prosecution.
Later—The second trial has been set
to begin October 21.
