Mr. Brock is of i the opinion that the proper course for the labor unionists to pursue is to seek incorporation and give the employers _ a chance to make reprisal. The rank ' and file. of the laboring classes are all ‘ right, and most of the differences could , be settled were it not for the influence ‘ ‘ of the agitating five brands whom they foolishly regard as their leaders.

It is surely wrong to compel a man to pay the full cost of a sidewalk fronting his proyerty when he can have no manner of use for such sidewalk and cannot profit by it direccly, and but little indirect- ly.

After along run we sat down to rest on an island in the Arctic Ocean. but we soon had to say a Cape south of Greenland to it on account of a river in Iowa. At night we could not rest on account of a coast east of Central America. s We were obliged to keep on a cape east of North Carloina to prevent a surprise from a territory north of Texas. For our dinner we shot an t island in Lake Ontario, which we' ,. stuffed with two handfuls of an in- se land lake in Ontario, and then roasted ;, it in a country south of Turkey in Europe. For dessert we had another ’9 lake in Ontario and a river in South W America to wash it down.
