“Why, Jones, what a stranger you are. Where have you been so long?” “I haven’t been able to be out for the last two years. You see, the party for whom I have been working does not deem it proper to allow his workmen outside the building.” “A grinding monopoly; no wonder you left them. For whom were you working ?" “For the State.” “Oh; good-by.” —Boston Times. Somebody wants to know why circles please the eye. We don't know, any iwore than we do why rings control in politics.
