Wednesdays Eiele, as will be seen by referring
to the Native Press gives rosy account of the
rapid and beneficial work of the honorable body
of our government" and declares that nothing of
"wasteful, greedy, pleundering or thoughtess
spirit" has been brought forward in the house.
1t is delightful to read such goody goody notices
of the Legislature but the reader of the same will
not entertain a high opinion of the writer's per-
ceptiye faculties. 1t is unfortunate that the
leader from which quote was marred by the
following truth at would appear according to
observation, that this Legislature is determined
to grant such increased appropriations as shall
satisfy these petitions of the citizens" which, it
says in another place, appear from every corner of
the land. Those who know the Unsuitable appetite
of the Hawaiian petitioner will stand appalled, at
this authoritative (2) assertion.

1t is natural to expect that the regular nightly
drill of the armed forces of this grand and glorious
country that has been going on for quite while,
and as we have threatening foes from without,
it must be against themselves they preparing.
This tom -foolery' has been the laughing stock of
and it has been ridicnled right and left; but if
this is calculated to tho peaceful residents
of other nations, and expect they going to sit
idly by and pay taxes for the maintenance of such
procedures, then somebody may object.

The Railroad Man and the Missionary.

Two young and aspiring railroad
men, who were placed Oh the retired
list owing to the consolidation of
GOuld's Southwestern roads, eX-
pressed themselves rather emphati-
cally, and in language that shocked
the feelings Of a missionary who was
sitting close by listening to the re-
marks. He stood it as long as he
could, but finally he lost all patience
and walked up to the two young rail-
road men and reprimanded them for
using such profane language.
"You ought to know he said in
conclusion, THAT there are but two
roads, one leading to He'll and Dam
nation and the other to Joy and Sal
yation; now which one would you
rather take?'
"Well,' replied one of the railroad
men, after getting oyer his surprise in
being thus addressed, II don't think
I'll take either, for it is ten to one
that the two roads will fall into the
hands of Gould and be consolidated
before l get there
The missionary made no further
attempts to convert the heather, and
left disguised.

through the efforts of the Literary
Society, the library has grown until
it contains 1900 valuable books. All
this has been done without the assis-

Christian Charity.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LEWIS COUNTY, COLORADO, Feb. G.-As
a little child | come and ask for admit
lance. In the LEDGER a few weeks since
appeared an article under the above cap
ton. The occasion of it was the desti-
tnte situation of the family Of "a former
sexton of a Baptist Church."
The writer strikes at the vital part of
practical religion. His whole article
teens with skepticism. 1t runs thus:
Big az do not believe, but do practice;
little they (Christians) believe, but do
not practice. Hear him %wrangle. First
he calls the physician good; then con-
dennis him. Perhaps the compliment was
ironony; the Judgment-. After the
physician had taken all, the one hundred
and fifty Baptists needed not the ''poor
s~eXton's" calls for aid; but like the
priest of old, ''seeing him, passed by on
the other side,' and had not the Laddo-
mia Samaritans Glanced that way the
eX-SeXton would have died.
The large hearted. man has it: chad
misfortune thrown him on the cold char
ity of that society of Baptists, with no
other resource, he and his family would
doubtless have died of actual starvation"
Now, the Self-constituted Head of
Charity, one more, chameleon like, trans
forms himself into a court, and calls the
Presbyterian physician and all those Bap-
fists before his awful tribunal. The de-
Tense is allowed not a word. Averdict is
given: equity of murder in the first
degree"
And he concluded, therefore, eff this be
christianity, God forbid that ever I en-
brace it."
SO far as we are informed, the Deity
has always granted this privilege to men,
and no doubt will in this case.
Some men are like flies and buzzards;
forever picking at the unclean. A fly will
find every sore on your hand, a buzzard
will approach every carcass, while the
man searches, as food for his immortal
nature, every failure of the members OF
the church and not once does he credit
the christian with a good deed. Ever,
mark the world gives the church Is 6
black mark.
Does the gentleman think the Church
of Christ is not a charitable society? Why
that is the very body of religion-love
good will to all. If the gentleman cal
read, let him take up the history Of the
| Christian church and see how it has beef
the lever, lifting nations from ignorance
degradation and poverty. Every mai
knows, who knows anything, that ther'
are hundreds of charitable institution
all over this country under the auspices
of the church. He closes his letter witt
this exclamation: Aye, truth is might,
and will predominant! We are glad it
so and would be glad to see more of it..
"Truth like a torch, the more it shoe
it shines"
When a dog sucks an egg he makes OF
to hide; when a man SANDERS others h
hides behind an assumed name, and s.

POKER AS A DISEASE.
How It Affects Different Individuals
Under Various Circumstances.

Draw poker is a most fascinating, yes
deceiving, game. One of the peculiarities
of the game is that the beginner, as soon
as he finds out that n certain kind of a
hand beats another, and that a bluff, if
successful, beats any hand, he thinks that
he can play the game better than anybody.
If he holds a poor hand once, and bets
big on it, and scares out al old veteran,
when he rakes in the money he cocks his
hat on one side and thinks how rich he
might nave been if he had learned to play
poker before. He wonders why every
body don't give up business and play
poker and get rich. As he counts over
the chips he has won SO easily by a simple
display of nerve, he says to himself:
'This game is good enough for yours
truly. Henceforth hard work and me
will dissolve partnership" He keeps on
playing. When he wins his hat is cooked
on one side, and When he loses he wears
1t straight. At first it is one side most of
the time, then he gets to wearing it
straight pretty frequently, until finally he
loses every dollar he has got and goes Out
and clubs himself. Countrymen who
think they can play a pretty good game of
poker find themselves in the cities, and
they are not content until they get into
Il game, and nine times in ten they get so
everlastingly scooped that they can't tell
their W names until they look at it
pasted on the inside of their hats. How
ever good a man plays, there is always
somebody that plays better, and they are
always laying for the fellow that can't
play as well as they can, while the II
tryman is always laying for n that can
play better. There is no game better cal
culated to take the conceit out of "A man
than poker. A man has to have the II
ceit taken out Of him about eleven times
before it will stay out, but after he has
once got it eradicated from the system he
never catches it again. He can live
amongst it, where all around him art
down with it, and he will not take it, if he
knows himself. 1t is as though he ha(
been v%accinated, and very likely he has
If you have an idea that you are a goot
poker player, there is no help for you til
you get the conceit worked out of you
f and the sooner you get it the better
Some get out by losing a hundred dollars
! others have to lose Il farm or a hous
and lot. In some eases it takes years t.
get it out, and in other cases it can b

The How and Where,

A great "to do" is being made by
the Centralia and Sturgeon papers,
also the people around about those
graveyard places, because "a minister
at Centralia was seen to drink whisky
out of a black bottle behind q pile of
dry goods boxes Surely it could
not be expected that a minister, and
perhaps a minister who claims that
prohibition is the correct thing,
would go out on the public square to
drink whisky, or that he would drink
his whisky out of a long trough Or
red barrel instead of a black bottle.
If we were going to drink Centralia
whisky we would want to get into
q coffin instead of behind a box, and
would want to drink it out of a small
| blue glass thimble instead Of a black
| bottle. We hear that Centralia whis-
XIV makes a man want to strike his
mother and murder his wife. We
sincerely trust it is all a lie about the
minister having imbibed at all. Ii
he did, and of Centralia whisky, he has
punishment sufficient for this world.
