YOU CAN'T MOST ALWAYS SOMETIMES
BY B. p. SHILLABRR.

Was it a voice of bell or bird
Which. careless, !. halfhcaring heard?
1t brbbled forth with laugh inblent,
And girlish scream of merriment.
And these the words on my ear that fell,
You can't most always sometimes tell"
marveled much such words to hear,
But smiled at their conjunction queer,
For in them was pregnant thought.
To be i'll many a judgment wrought
For what is Ill or what is well,
We can't most always sometime tell.
The outside glitter Of worldly show
Obscurcs the meanings that lurk below;
We gaze and wonder and think VIC see,
But our eyes are blurred by the glamoury;
We check cur verdict. saying. Well,
We can't most always sometimes tell"
Supcrlativcs in dress and air
Nay take the careless by their glare,
And simulated virtues shine
AS bright as jewels from the mine,
We judge the kernel from the shell,
But we cant most always sometimes tell.
so verdicts every day are given
or many matters under Heaven;
With honest hearts and truthful Tongue
They earnestly are said and sung,
Where people pray or preach or sell;
We can't mo st always sometimes tell.
he smiling look may haply hide
A covert where the gloom abide;
The dullest tone in law or love
May treacherous and wicked prove;
The smooth mien hide a purpose fell
We can't most always sometimes tell.
Put If it's thus, reflection saith,
We loose in men all living faith;
The people moving round about,
Are seen through clouds of fear and doubt
And they may say of us as well,
We can't most always sometimes tell.

How WOMAN SUFFRAGE WORKS IN
WYOMING.-To us the novelty has worn
off, and we have had time to coolly eSti-
mate the results. There are those who can
remember the condition of things here, six
or seven years ago, and though we might
differ somewhat as to the causes which
have produced this change for the better.
vet we shall be able to agree upon a few
facts We never had a term of court here,
held in decent and comfortable place,
with its proceedings marked throughout
by decency and decOrum, and dveSted of
everything pertaining to levity and black
ruardiSm, till our ladies We're summoned
to participate in it. We never had Il grand
Jury here who boldly and unfinchingly
took hold to investigate offences against
decencv and morality. and hunt out and
bring offenders to punishment, till we had
grand Jury composed largely of ladies'
We had had several terms of court, but
had scarcely been able to convict or pun
ish Il single criminal for any crime, how
ever hcinous, through the medium ofthose
courts, till we got Judges composed largely
of women We did not have a single
election here without drunkenness, rowdy-
ism, Guarreling, fighting, bloodshed, until
our wives, mothers, sisters and dauS Shters
were permitted TO accompany us to the
polls. We well remember the time when
many man stayed away from the polls,
losing his right of citizenship, rather than
encounter the danger and rowds ism he
must meet in order to exercise it. But
| all this is changed. Our elections go of
rs quietly rs any other social gathering
no matter how heated apolitical campaign
; may be or how important the issues al
: stake. And we all point with pride TO the
result. whether or not we agree as to th'
cause which has produced it.-Laranai'

\ WESTERN PHENOMENON-Mr. Joseph

west of Murine CITY. Mich. }. has been for
some time engaged in sinking IN artesian

stock and for household purposes. In sink
ing these wells Il derrick is used. consisting
Of three heavy pieces of timber fastened
together at the top like a tripod; this der
rick WAS fastened by means of a heavy log
chain wound around the timbers at the top;
the diameter of the we'll is thirteen inches
and the boring was done by means of
an auger. turned by horsepower; on Mon
day. Aug. 9th, the auger had penetrated to
depth of l20 feet. and the next morning
an air or gas chamber was reached; then
