1t is pretty hard work for us to sit in this
room and at every noise of wheels glance out
and see some pleasure party drive by-some
en- route for the lake, and others for nowhere
in particular so long as they kill time-whle
we pen few lines to you of no particular con-
sequence to anybody. This letter would be
mighty short and sweet if we owned as fine a
turnout as just raised the dust on the highway
there, but as we cwn no such establishment
and there is not the remotest probability that
we ever shall, we will, for the present, ''sling
ink, and console ourselves with the thought
that this is a free country and those who can
not ride may 60 afoot. Such consolation as
may be drawn from that is about the only
surcease from inevitable and fore ordered
fate that the majority may expect in this
sphere. 1t seems to be certain that one half
of the world must labor for the riches, ease,
comfort and pleasure of the other half, and all
observation proves the old adage true as
unauthorized gospel, that ''One half the world
is born, booted and spurred, to ride and drive
the other alf." 1t is all owing to circuni-
stances whether we are born rich or talented,
whether we ride or are driven. Well, there
goes another team. Silver plated harnesses
this time! We ought to be above such weak
ness but it is tantalizing to see others ride
while you must walk. However this isn't
giving the news what little there is. Well
to it.
Saturday night, the Republicans to the
number of about seventy-five met at D. Burn.
hams hall and organized Garfield and Ar
thur Club. Considerable enthusiasm was
manifested and it is hoped much good will
come of IT. After scanning the situation one
thing seems pretty certain, that the change
which seems so necessary to the democracy is
rapidly taking place, but not altogether to
their notion in this town, for undoubtedly
when the question comes before the house
the verdict will be, '.The republicans have

Henry Lancashire, son of Rev. H. Lanca-

Taking Comfort as YOU Go.

Looking ahead for happiness in this
world has been compared to 'bottling
sunshine for next years use." Taking
comfort as we 60 on is the only way to
make sure of it; and a writer in the
Christian at Work thus points the moral:
"You, proud mother of a beautiful,
active boy, of what use will it be to you
by and by to remember how exquisitely
fine was his raiment, how daintily
spread his bed, and how costly and pro-
fuse his toys? What the child needs is

ONLY A FARE.

"Fare, ma'am," said the conductor
The passenger took no notice. She
was shabby-looking old woman in
rather rusty-looking black, with a fray
ed lace scarf around her neck, and an
old-fashioned, heavily-worked lace veil
fastened about her bonnet~brim.
Fare" repeated the conductor
again.
The passenger looked at him, dipped
her hand into her pocket, rummaged
in queer little reticrle she carried, and
after exhausting all the patience Of
which a car conductor is supposed to
be possessed, said slowly:
II haven't got a penny. suppose
I've lost the change, or else I've had
my pocket picked and I'm going to
street, too"
There was pause. The conductor
looked at the passenger and hesitated.
It was a damp evening. The streets
were ankle-deep with mire. It was
three miles to - street, and the car
was not half full. It seemed only COM
mon humanity to permit an old wo-
man to ride to her destination whether
she had her fare or not. But there on
the platform, staring through the glass
door, our conductor saw the face Of a
car spy-a spotter, the men called him,
who was watching him with eager green
eyes, anxious to catch him tripping.
Poor as his place was, twenty men
were waiting for it. His receipts must
tally with the number of passengers re-
corded on the dial provided by the COM
pany for that purpose, or off went his
head on Saturday night Still he could
not put the old woman off his car; only
one alternative remained-he could pay
her fare.
Now a fare on the - road was only
five cents, but 6 o'clock was coming and
he was hungry, and the supper he
would have Just time to snatch before
his evening trips began would cost him
10 cents-fve cents ~ bread and
cheese, and five cents for a cup of cof-
fee. He gave up one of these if he
paid that old woman's fare. You see
there was another old woman whom he
called Granny to be cared for, and
clothes of some sort must be worn, and
there were no pennies to spare. Blu it
was the memory of old Granny that
arose in his heart as he dropped in the
coin, touched the bell and nodded "all
right" to his passenger; and, as he
stepped from his car to take his brief
rest, he handed the old woman to the
curbstone and saw her safe upon her
way.
''No, I don't want anything but the
Coffee" he said, waving away the res
taurantkeeper's boy. as he pressed the
basket of rolls and sandwiches upon
him. '"Take that. stuff away

Why People are Poor.
Appeal.

1t is stated on very excellent author
ity that ''the poor have We with you al.
ways" The remark was true when
uttered, and it has been true ever since
and, from appearances, ever will be.
There are those who have no DISPOSE
ition to save; who olive from hand to
mouth" so to speak; who take no
thought of tomorrow. Having enough
for the present hour, they are content
and leave the future to take care of it.
SELF If property were to be eqally di-
vided Monday morning, before Satur-
day night the majority would be in des-
titute circumstances, dead broke, while
the prudent and saving would be on the
road to pecuniary independence. One
class of people spend whatever money
they can get hold of, and as fast as they
can get it, while others save means that
come into their hands, judiciously in
vest the same, and become rich. There
are those who not only do not know
how to save, but do not know how to
spend. If they get anything it goes for
what they do not need; for articles that
could be dispensed with. Those who
are destitute of the comforts of life, as
rule, may blame themselves therefor.
If they have anything they do not take
care of it, They have articles that peo-
pie in better circumstances would think
they could not afford So they are al
ways poor. Relieve their wants to-day
and they are no better off tomorrow
They are bound not to save-to have
nothing, and are generally bound to be
in debt if they can find anybody that
will trust them. OF course, we under
stand that people are sometimes unfor-
tunate. They get sick, or those de-
pendent on them become so. We know
that people are sometimes overtaken
by misfortune; but where there is one
cause of this kind there are fifty in
which the entire trouble may be found
in the indisposition to save.

Alexandria Emerson, youth living
in the west end Of the city, has for the
past six months been subject to very
peculiar and unusual attacks of somnia
The first indication he has Of an attack
is a severe nervous headache, coming
on soon after breakfast. In a short time,
usually by 9 o'clock, he gets drowsy,
lies down and Immediately goes into a
deep sleep, which continues for seventy
two hours three days and nights. He
can be aroused with difficulty, and as
soon as left undisturbed goes to sleep
again. On the third morning his sleep
is disturbed by severe nervous, chills,
and as these pass off in an hour or two
he relapses into a sound sleep, which
continues until the next morning, when
he wakes up very much exhausted.
During his sleep he has no inclination
to eat or drink, but rather an aversion
for either when aroused. He has re-

ROOM FOR MILLIONS MORE.

Still tireless travels west,

And bids the traveller rest,
And light the road to prairies broad,
A generous nations store,
While swells the song her wales among

And take the road to prairies broad
With room for millions more.

For conscience sacred right;

While many Il lake and many brake

The vine to yield him wine
The Scandinavian till the plain
Or fell the Black Hills pine;
The Briton chase the deer or raise
Of kline and sheep Il store;
No stint of meat; we've lots to eat

Take the comfort ofvour opportunities.
Never mind though the dress be coarse,

whose graceful daughter is just blush
ing out into the bloom and freshness
OF wondrously fair womanliness, do
not be SO occupied with your ambition
for her, and your desire for her advance
ment in life, that you let her ways and
your own fall apart. Why are her
friends, her interests and her engage
ments so wholly separate and distinct
from yours? Why does she visit here
and there, and receive visitors from
this or that home, and the comfort you
ought to take is flying fast away on those
wings OF time that are never overtaken.
10 descend to some homelv matters.
how little comfort some of us take in
comparison with what we might! Have
we not, for instance, through mere care
lessness, sometimes deferred the pur-
chase of pair of slippers for weeks and
weeks, going around with worn out
things, of which we have been ashamed,
or tramping through the house in heavy
walking boots, when we might as well
have had our feet agreeably dressed,
and been able to move about in silent
ease? Have we not known that cur
tain at this window, or shade at that
one, an easy chair in this corner, or Il
foot stool in that nook, would make our
rooms ever SO much pleasanter, and
still we have neglected making the al
teration, and submitted to unnecessary
discomfort?
In the matter Of glasses for failing
sight, how many people put them on
too soon, and how many too late, and
how often we see sensible men and wo-
men straining their eyes in the dim and
uncertain dusk, when match and 4
lamp, would make a room like day?
How we endure the creaking of a hinge,
sometimes for months, when all that is
wanted to cure it is drop Of oil and a
feather! Resignation to the inevitable
has an element of the heroic in it's calm,
but the lazy submission to annoyances
which an energetic will would not suffer
for day, is by no means prase-worthy.
