From the accession of the Prince oi

and had it been the lot of the little Lady

which inspired no pleasure, says London
Spectator.
The Coburgs are better liked; they are
supposed, and so far rightly supposed, to
accommodate themselves more easily than
any other reigning family to constitution-
al monarchy; they are‘ royal by descentr
and they have bad the strangest good
fortune in their alliances.

by the rainy dey are the day laborers and
those who do husineis directly with them.
Rain means an idle day to ex cry laborer
and mechanic employed on outdoor work
such as excavators. quarrymen, railroad
builders, stone masons, bricklayers, can

they auoot spend.
“There is no way for this class of bread-‘
winners to regain the day once lost. They
are men who deal with their grocers,
butchers and others on a cash basis if a
man works steadily all the week he is
enabled to buy a certain anmunt of the
necessaries and luxuries of life. if he
works but three days he must get along

business falls 0“ just that much. it. will
