How TO ABATE INTEMpERANCE.-The
Louisville Courier-Journal addresses
some plain words to the women tenn
perance cru 'aders. 1t tells them they
cannot remove the curse of dram drink
ing by declaimiug against it ia public
and tolerating it in private. And it
goes on in this direct way:
If a women is addicted to the excess
i've use of ardent spirits, are men still
ready to take her to their bosoms with
merely n sigh of pity? No; the sen.
tence is more stern and severe, and
shall we add--more just. She is ban
ished from respectable society. and her
character considered wrecked. Have
you not sufficient nerve and moral force
to exact as high standard of virtue
from them? Instead of boiling over in
public and being lukewarm in private,
boil, if you wish to, but try the effect of
freezing. You, ladies, who are unmar.
ried would acquire sufficient dignity
and strength of character to refuse to
associate with drunkards, even if they
have sober intervals. Let young mon
understand that if they love ardent
spirits better than they do you, you
consider them already welded to a more
alluring mistress, and not disposed to
become bigamist. Is this asking too
much of you? Then go on in your cru
SADIE against the rumsellers, pour out the
walls of wrath upon the accursed traffic,
and compel the vender to close his
(front) door. Then in the evening rest
your head upon the bosom of his sod
den patron, and, while you are inhaling
tho sweet fragrance of Bourbon and
lager, let your mind repose under the
consciousness of duty we'll done.

A Temperance Lecturer in Trouble.
NEVADA, CAL, March M.-Dr. Has
kell, of San Francisco, who is travelling
through the State lecturing on temper
ance, and who styles himself the cham
pion of the temperance cause, arrived
here Sunday night. The different
churches in the city adjourned to favor
DR.. Haskell, who hold forth to an im-
mense audience at theater. The lee
ture Sunday night was altogether out
of taste, and contained many slang
phrases so vulgar and disgusting that
many persons left the hall before the
lecturer finished. Last night the doc
tor delivered another lecture. During
the lecture he called the attention of
the audience to some young ladies who
he said were whispering, and thereupon
delivered long TRADE on what such
young ladies would come to, which
was very discraceful and insulting to
the young ladies', and all respectable
persons present. Many people left the
theatre and the speaker was Missed
down for his defaming remarks. At
this point, serious difficulty was antic-
ipated, and it was only by the aid of
the police and several ministers present
that violence was prevented and order
restored.

HIS SHARE ANU MINE.

THE grief of mother upon the taking away
of her child, with something of her selfcomforting
thereafter, finds expression (and many bereay9d
mothers will feel it in this tender poem by Mrs.
S. M. B. Piatt:
He went from me so softly and so soon,
His sweet hands rest at morning and at noon.
The only task God gave them was to hold
A few faint ~ose- -buds-and be white and cold.
His share of flowers he took with him away;
No more will blossom here so fair as they.
His share of thorns he left-and if they tear
My hands instead of his, / do not care.
His sweet eyes were so clear and lovely, but
To look the worlds wild light and shut
Down in the dust they have their sh Of sic p;
Their share Of tears is left for me t eep.
His sweet mouth had its share of kisses-Ohi
What love, what anguish, will he ever knowlA &4
And cries unsatsfed shall be my own
He had his share of Summer Bird and dew
Were here with him--with him they vanished, too
His share of dying leaves, and rains and frost
/ take, with every dreary thing he lost
The phantom Of the cloud we did not see
FOrevermOre shall OvershadOW me.
He, in return. with small, still, snowy feet,
Touched the Dim Path, and made its Twilight

Crop Statistics.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Ms

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May so.
THE National Crop Reporter, published
to-day, has returns from 1913 correspond
ents, covering 1875 counties in the States
of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Texas, in relation to the area planted this
season in cotton and corn in those States.
Deductions are also published from the
estimates of correspondents in relation
to the total of spring and winter wheat
now in the ground in the States of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The fol-
lowing is an abstract of the principal in
formation furnished in the matter:
Of cotton there is shown to be a falling
off from the area planted last year aver
aging in the four States first named IA
6,1O per cent The decrease in area is
1S 410 per cent. in Alabama, 8 410 per
cent. in Arkansas, 20 410 per cent in
Mississippi and 2-10 per cent in Texas.
The area devoted to corn in the same is
placed at an increase over last year to the
extent of 7-1O per cent. The increase
is given as 10 40 per cent. in Ala
bama, 8 40 per cent. in Arkansas,
s per cent. in Mississippi and
O6-1O per cent. in Texas. The stand of
both cotton and corn in the States named
was, May Is, much below full stand.
although the stand of corn was better
than that of cotton. In Louisiana the
majority of the reports received speak of
considerable portion of the land as over
flowed. In all the four States the lateness
of the season very much delayed the crops,
and, although much of the planting which
became necessary had been accomplished
at the date of the reports, there will still
be good deal of land lying idle.
The estimates of correspondents in the
eight Western States previously men,
toned indicate an average increase in the
total area of wheat at 2-10 per cent. The
increase is IA per cent. in Illinois; 1910
per cent. in Indiana; 1870 per cent. in
Iowa; "a per cent. in Kansas; 3 7-1O per
cent in Minnesota; II 40 per cent. in
Missouri; per cent. in Ohio, and A 10
per cent. in Wisconsin.
The general condition of the growing
grain at the date of the last report was all
that could be desired, although the crop
in Iowa has suffered somewhat from the
depredations of grasshoppers.

A Deep-Laid Plot Exposed.

To SHOW how low and degraded cOun-
try journalism has become we will cite
this fact: Thirty years ago all these
newspaper fiends went into cahoot, and
started papers for the simple purpose OF
! laying up enormous amounts Of wood.
| For this purpose every country paper put
| this notice at the head of its local col
umn:
WooD WANTED.-We will take wood for sub
scription for this paper. Bring on your woodl
Yes, "bring on your wood" Mark that +!
Now, what are these rascals doing?
Why, they have been running news
papers for wood until they have got all
the wood in the country in their own
hands. And now wood is up-they'Ye
made a corner in it.
"But," the reader will ask, where is
their market? What good will it do
them?"
Poor ignorant soul Well tell you.
After these country editors have got all
the wood in the country into their own
hands what do they do? Why, they go
to work, tooth and toe nail, and adu0cate
cremation! They know perfectly well
Just as soon as cremation becomes part
of American politics every man Will be
trying it on his mother-in-law and wlfe's
relations. And wood will go mp to $lOO
cord! Every one of these fiends Will
have this advertisement on one whole
side of their paper:
TO CREMATIONIsTS. .
Ten million cords Of The best hickory, old and
dry, just the thing for burning your dear ones In
the quickest time possible. Old exchanges for
kindling thrown in gratis. Apply at this office.
Then these country editors will be roll
ing in wealth instead of glue and molas.

exchanging with you than running
newspaper without using patent out
