A few weeks ago tho wifo of ono of

bocauso there "was nothing in it but a

effect. This week tho man himsolf
camo into the oflice and, laying a cou
ple of papers upon our desk, remarked:
"My wifo sent these down; she said
you might be able to iind fomothing
interesting in them." One of tho pa
pers was tho Appeal to Reason, that
rabid socialist shoot published at
Girard, Kan., than which thoro is no
more lying nor misleading publication
anywhere. The other paper was tho
Chicago Socialist, an almost equally
pernicious publication. Queer what
