Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Anacortes, Wash. Ter.) 1882-1887, 1882-04-01

1t is not alone expected of newspaper
in this progressive age that it shall give
the news from all all parts of the world
as we'll as the locality in which it is pub
lished, but that it keep a watchtul eye on
all matter that concerns the interests of
its readers. II there is a just cause that
needs assistance the newspaper is expect
ed to support it, II there is a public
wrong the press is expected to denounce
it. Nay, more than that it becomes the
duty of the local journal to denounce and
condemn all that is bad and uphold all
that is good. Were it not for the efforts
of the press some of the greatest frauds
ever perpetrated oh the public would
never have been made known. 1t was
the press that exposed the systemstic
schemes of public robbery of Boss Shep-
herd of Washington and Boss Tweed of
New York 1t was the public journals
which first called attention to the cor,
ruption in the navy department. There
has not been reform movement of any
Importance that has not received the sup
port of the press. Now, while all this is
true, there is another side to the question
which is equally true A newspaper in
its line of duty frequently has occasion to
suggest remedies for evils which do not
meet with general approval, and particu-
larry of those who may in some manner
hold influence and patronage. In situa-
ton like that the lash Is generally applied
and an effort is made TO coerce the pub
Usher into recognition of their right,
which: as rule, always happen to be at
variance with the public, Newspapers,
therefore, in some instances have been
compelled to succumb to the powerful
influence brought to bear against them by
those who were organized to over>ride the
rights of others. The only Endorsement
paper wants or asks is the support of
the public when fighting public evils and
wrong doings, and if it fails to receive that
in its first effort it is more than likely that
it will never attempt the second.
Truly, your newspaper is of your own
making, and the sooner those who COM
plain of conservatism recognize that fact
the sooner will they have a paper such as
they desire.-Ex.

The Noble Warriors,

Little do we reck us we proceed
with the hum drum of our unevent.
full lives at home, how our congress
men, several hours each day, are
calling up the previous question
and rising to a point of privilege, in
order that we may enjoy the price
less boon Of liberty. Day after
day, while you, gentle reader, are
dawdling the precious hours away
selling goods, or saving wood,
these patriots, far from their
homes and loved ones, with aching
heads and fearful eyes, are making
motions to reconsider, and with
clarion voices demanding the floor
and battling over the vital question
of mileage. And yet, while these
men have their shoulders under the
national fabric, and are fearlessly
referring things to committees, or
with warlike front in defiant tone
moving to lay them on the table,
there are croakers at home, with
nothing to do but support their
families, who speak leeringly of the
labOrs performed by these noble
warriors in the national arena. 1t
is not right Boomerang.

If you find yourself disposed to
give way to- that Misunderstanding,
MISUNDERSTANDING disease OF
worry, try to recuperate your ner-
vous system. Go to bed and sleep
your imaginary troubles away. If
you cannot sleep, it is a sign that
your blood is sluggish; your nervous
system is used up; your muscular
system has had little or no employ
ment. Then do something to tire
the muscles and start the blood.
Do not fall into the delusive snare
of "gentle exercise" that is admis
sible only for invaiils. Whatever
you do, do it with all youi might.
Take n tramp on the hills; saw
wood; ride horseback; give fifteen
minutes to IN Indian club or pair
of not too heavy dumb bells; run;
jump; anything to exert your body
and stop the eXertiOn Of your mind,
to set Your muscles into exercise
and give your nerves Il rest. Get a

yourself feel thoroughly, healthily
tired. Then take a bath, and get
on clean clothes, eat 4 little meal

Ed, Stokes Reception,

Ed. S. Stokes gave ladies recep
ton at his bar-room in the Hoffman
House, to-day. Two thousand in
vitations had been sent out, and
nearly a thousand women, with a
sprinkling of fashionably dressed
men, were present. The most IA
nous of all the works Of art in the
barroom is Bouguereau's olympus
and Satyrs," which Stokes recently
purchased for $4,000. Once, when
the plush doors swung back and a
man sauntered coolly in, there was
ripple of excitement and craning
of necks. He was dressed with
elaborate care, in the height of
fashion, and walked with a grace
full, well-bred carriage among the
guests, bowling and smiling at &C
quaintances, and seeming not to no
tice the sensation he created. His
close-cropped hair was quite gray,
but his face bore no traces of troub-
lie, and he seemed to be in excellent
spirits; and when he stopped for a
moment to chat with an actress
from Wallack's, there was a nOticea-
bic crush among the women about
him for a glimpse of his face. He
went on presently, and the women
parted reluctantly to allow him to
pass. He went out into the CORR
dor and the doors slammed after
him. 1t was Ed. S. Stokes, the
murderer of Jim Fisk.

The Store Room.

There is in most houses, a little
room called the room, or
lumber-room. 1t is the place in
which things are put that are not
wanted at present. A strange col

at one side, stands the tool-board.
Under this board stands the nail
box. Near the nail-boX stands
another box which contains a great
variety of things. There are keys
and old locks, and bolts, hinges and
screws, hooks and staples, pieces of
iron and brass. In one corner of
the room are n number of old
wooden boxes On one of the
shelves is lot Of empty bottles.
Next to the bottles is basket con

In one corner are some old shoes.
In another there is Il broken table,
and the remains of two or three old
chairs. A wonderful variety OF
things may be found in that store
room. 1t is not very attractive,
but it is very useful. When any
thing gets out of order about the
house, and some lock or bolt or
hinge wants fixing, or when piece
of board is needed in the kitchen,
or spike or hook in the yard, then
the store-room is the place to go to.
Whatever it is you want, you are
almost sure to find it there. 1t is
very important to have store room
in house. Yes, and it is very i'm
portant to keep that room well filled
with all sorts of things. Whatever
you put there will come into use
some time or other. Some of the
things there may remain Tor years
before you want them, but at last
they will be just the things you
want.

LADIES' COLUMN.
The Female Comp. "
Denver Tribune.1


Of all the occupations in which Il
woman can engage for the purpose
of making an honest living, the
most thankless is that Of setting
type. The cOmpOsItor leads weary,
dreary life. She is never permitted
to strike ''fat take" she is denied
the inestimable boon of setting mp
the thoughtful matter which ema-
mates from the editorial room, she
is never reckoned capable of hand
ling manuscript, and the very idea
OF her being competent to set up q
display head is deemed atrocious.
She is expected to hammer away at
miscellaneous reprint, and the only
bonanza she ever strikes is solid
minion with an occasional oasis of
loaded BREWER when the business
manager concludes that advertising
is dull enough to admit of the big
gest kind of type. But this is not
all-no, the worst remains to be
told. When the work is done for
the day, it is not with the female
printer as with others of the craft.
She cannot adjourn to a convenient
and comfortable saloon and play
pedro or old sledge for the beer, or
throw dice for five cent cigar, or
'Jef for the drinks. She must
pick her way home through all sorts
OF weather to a dreary room and
cold bed. She has no wife to thrash.
no children TO scold, no furniture to
break-nOne of those sweet luxuries
which are supposed to be part and
parcel Of the glorious art preserva-
tive. AS class female printers are
diligent and worthy. They never
"sojer;" they never bother the editor
for chewing tobacco; they never
prowl around among the exchanges
Tor the Police Gazette; they never
get themselves full of ''bug juice"
and try to clean out rival print |
shops; they never swear about the |
business manager; they do not
smoke nasty old clay pipes; they |
never strike for more pay; they do |
not allude to editorial matter as

are patient, gentle, conscientious
and reliable. They peg right along

MoIIie's Ram.

Mollie had a little ram as black
as a rubber shoe, and everywhere
that Mollie went he emigrated too
He went with her to church one
day-the folks hilarious grew tC

The worthy deacon quickly lei

an unchristian kick between the
sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle;
the deacon followed fast, and raised
his foot again; alas that first kick
was his last.
For Mr. Sheep walked slowly
back, about a rod, It's said, and ere
the deacon could retreat, it stood
him on his head.
The congregation thed arose and
went for that ere sheep. Several
well-directed butts just piled them
in heap.
Then rushed they straightway
for the door with curses long and
loud, while rammy struck the hind
most man and shot him through the
crowd.
The minister had often heard
that kindness would subdue the
fiercest beast. ''Aham he says,
''Fll try that game on you"
And so he kindly, gently called;
"Come, rammy, rammy, ram, to see
the folks abuse you so, l grieved
and sorry am"
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down,
saying, "Rammy,s rammy, rammy,

Raach Ont for Eaauan

You long for the bread of God tc
come down from heaven, and give
you life such as the angels enjoy
do you? You long for a warmer
tenderer, more unselfish, and sym
pathetic heart, for more Of true
neighborly love, do you? You
yearn for it and pray for it. Then
go out of yourself, and try to live
for others. Try to do somthing to
dissipate the darkness, to lessen the
burdens, to alleviate the sorrows, to
multiply the joys, to smooth the
rugged pathway of some neighbOr.
Try to extract some ranking thorn,
or to ponr 4 little oil and wine into
into some bruised and wounded
soul.
Seek out some friendless and
needy object, on whom to bestow
your sympathy, your generosity,
your offers of kindness. And YOU
need not go far; such objects exist
in scores all around you-objects
needing sympathy and comfort, if
not material aid. Do this, and see
how your cold and hard hearted
selfshness will begin to diminish,
and your neighborly love to increase!
See how the windows of heaven
will be opened within you, and your
before waste and barren soul begin
to be flooded with the gracious out
pourings of love from on high! 1t
is the goiDgs of our own
thoughts and feelings, With intent to
bless, that cause the plentiful in
comings of the divine love and mer-

ration, Give and it shall be given

A good whitewash for outside

woodwork, slack half bushel of
fresh lime by pouring over it boiling
water sufficient to cover it four or
five inches deep, stirring it until
Stacked; add two pounds of sulphate
of zinc (white vitrioD dissolved in
water. Add water enough to bring
all to the consistency of thick
whitewash; it may be cOlored by
adding powdered ether, Indian red,
lumber, etc. If lampblack is added
to colOrs, it should first be thor
oughly dissolved in alcohol. The
sulphate of zinc causes the wash to
become hard in a few days. An
other, for brick, masonry and
rough cast is made as follows:
Slack half a bushel of lime as be-
fore; then fill a barrel thirds
full of water, and add a bushel of
hydraulic cement. Add three pounds
of zinc previously dissolved in wa

improved by stirring in a peck of

Advice to Fathers.

Father, give your son a patch of
an acre or two this year for his
own, and let him exercise his judg
ment in preparing the land, and in
planting and cultivating the crop.
If he wishes to try a different plan
of working his crop to what you
have always pursued, let him do it.
Encourage him to think for himself
He will take a deeper interest in
farming, and see new beauty in
farm life. a boy who works always
by orders, and is never given an op-
portunity for the exercise of his own
judgment, becomes q mere tool, as it
were, and never develops a capacity
for any business. Make him real
ize that he has mind, and feel
that you expect something of him;
and there Is no better way of doing
this than by giving him a patch of
his own, TO be worked by him, and
the proceeds to be enjoyed by him.
You will lose nothing by it in a fl
nancial point of view, and you will
develop your boy into a thoughtful
industrious man and farmer. Try
it this year Southern World.

A lady in the south end keeps
bees and tends them carefully. The
other day they swarmed and were
threatening to seek other pastures
green, when she spread a table with
a sheet over it, placed the hive upon
it, and began to batter upon a tin
pan with a vigor that would have
ratified down the walls of Troy
Mr.. Gross happened along and see
ing her dilemma suggested that she
get under the table to beat the pan.
She did so, and the din brought the
neighbOrs and passers, and the i'm
preston prevailed that a crank was
loose somewhere, and the din and
confusion, supplemented by the ap-
partition of a female under a table
trying to tear the bottom out of a
dishpan with a roller pin, added to
the excitement, until she happened
to peep out and saw the form of a
senator rolling in the grass CON
vulsed with laughter and the neigh
bOrs hanging their sides over the
fence to keep them from shaking
off Realizing the ludicrous situa
ton, the lady emerged with the
rolling pin and her husband stimuli
taneously got up out of the grass
and emerged over the back fence to
escape the wrath to come, and the
neighbOrs subsidized around the
corner, and 10! the bees were not,
and the music of the dishpan echoes
no more forever against the chicken
coop.

Tragedy of LoBgfeIIow's Life.

Tragedy of LORgfeIIOw's Life.
Before leaving Europe in 1899, he
had met, in much the manner de-
scrlbed in ~Hyperion, the lady
who was destined to be his second
wife, then, Miss Fannie Appleton,
daughter. of the late Nathan Apple
ton Of Boston. Those of us who
can recall the second Mrs. Longfel-
low will never forget her distin-
.guished and noble presence, or the
rare beauty of ''those deep, unutter-
able eyes the poet sang. 1t is
known that his suit was not at first
acceptable to her, and that she was
not entirely gratified at being the
recognized theme Of a romance so
highly wrought. There certainly
was some reluctant delay about the
matter, as the romance was pub
tished to the world in 1889, and
1T was not until July, 1913, that the
second marriage of Mr.. Longfellow
took place. 1t was to him a source
of the most unmingled happiness
for many years, ending at last in a
tragedy rs intense and concentrated
as ever poet dreamed. On July 9,
1861, his idolized wife was burnt to
death in his very presence, by her
clothes taking fire, in spite of all
efforts to extinguish the flames.
The shock to Mr.. Longfellow was so
great that for a time it seemed as if
reason itself was in danger, and
though he came gradually back to
his old life and pursuits, he seemed
thenceforward an old man. Yet he
turned again to his work. and there
was hardly an abatement to his ac-
tivSEy until within three months of
his death.
