Show THE KICKER. I thought someone would kill him as he kicked from morn to night, Or that some mad wretch would till him full of buckshot out of spite-But spite-But I wonder when the barber gare him jnst the smoothest shave. And the porter bowed so meekly when he took the kiekw's grip. And all cottoned to him weekly though he never gave a tip. Trainmen watched with care the heating of the car he patronized; Not a hackman essayed beating when his kick was realized; Even newsboys grinned compliance when he quoted office rates, And fair women sought alliance with this niolder of the fates. Like a mule by earnest kicking, he had won all pleasant things, And In Heaven you'll find him picking oat the longest pair of wings. crnnntenceir; Woirn - i in the door with his guu.

Of these Europe has 63,000; America, 40-000; 40-000; Asia, 3300; Austrailia, 5000; Africa, 700. The locomotive will, on an ordinary grade, carry 200 tons of freight eighty miles in three hours. Let any one think how many men it would take to do that work and then multiply it by 109,000, and he will begin to realize that there is more reason why laboring men find it difficult to obtain employment than ever there was of old. When we add to the locomotive the hundreds of thousands of steam engines that are doing their work, we begin to realize that the ordinary work of the world is being taken away from the arms of men and put on arms of steel, and that the question of what mankind is going to do that is, unequipped mankind, tha proportion that lives simply by ordinary unskilled labor has become the most serious question of this world. It needs a statesmanship exceedingly, broad to grasp it. We think it is safe to say that the introduction oi electric cars into the United States during the last five 5'ears 'has reduced the price of horses on an average of forty per cent. There was a time when a good honest horse, without sufficient speed for the track, but of cood form and weigh! and well broken, would find a ready market at any time uoon the street-car lines of the Eastern cities. That is very swiftly passing away. Men can dispose of horses, it to raise them is no longer prof-itable, prof-itable, but what is going to be done with the men that come into the world, if at manhood they know no trade, it they have no genius, if thev have nothing noth-ing to depend upon but their own unskilled un-skilled arms. It is one of the most serious and sad questions oi this age. Tribune. |
