For His Mothers Sake.

Edward King tells one of the most
delightful anecdotes of Carlyle yet put
forth. That portentous pseudo-philos-
opher, Mallock, called on the old
Scotchman and let himself loose, talk
ing Carlyle almost to death. Carlyle
listened imperturbably, invited him to
tea and had him to smoke in the IL
brary afterward. When at last the
youthful sage thought proper 20 take
his leave Carlyle accompanied him to
the door aid said: "Well, goodbye;
I've received ye kindly because / knew
your mother, but never want to set
eyes on ye again!"

ETERNAL REST.

4 little while we'll tarry here,
4 little while our crosses bear.
With hearts oppressed;
A little while the weight of woe
VIII bow our stricken spirits low
A little while sad tears will flow,
But soon comes rest.
Life seems dresr, beclouded day,
Where seldom falls illumipg ray,
To break the mist:
Yet let US not despairlng sigh,
Nor In our weakness question why
Our day has not a fairer sky
Beyond is rest.
Though from the bitter, bitter cup,
OF mingled sorrows we must sup,
IT'S but to test
Our faith in Christ; and make us live
For higher things than earth can give;
And all that true and faithful prove,
In heaven will rest;
II matters little though our lot
Be cast In dreary, desert spot;
For life, at best,
Has much or sadness, and gloom
Hangs Ger the passage to the tomb;
Yet. In Eden's bowers of bloom,
Remaineth rest.
A few short moments more of grief,
Then death will bring us sweet relief;
Within the breast
OF peaceful earth we'll calm repose,
1orgetful of our tolls and woes;
And where life's holy river flows
Our souls will rest.
Although we cannot understand
The Christening Of Gods dear hand,
1t rules for best.
Then let us be resigned to fate,
And, with patience, trusting wait
Till He shall open Heavens gate,
And bid us rest.
How sweet twill be at close of life,
To leave this weary world of strife,
And with the blest
Dwell In the land of Paradise;
Where ever cloudless are the skies,
And where tie soul may realize
Eternal rest.
-[Clara Bush.

Why should any Democrat be
afraid to have Democratic Congress
attempt TO lessen the burdens that
Cypress the people by scaling down
the tariff Why continue the enor-
nous and outrageous war taxes that
COLLECT hundred millions or so more
of revenue than is needed for an
economical administration of the
general government Why should
any Democrat thus toady to wealth
and monopoly? Democratic members
of Congress should understand that
the people are earnestly in favor of
retrenchment and reform and wish to
be relieved from grievous and bur-
densome taxation. The people will
sustain the men who are true to reve-
nue. reform and viii not be likely to
approve and support heartily those
who cringe and are subservient to the
behests of monopoly.

Although Sitka and Alaska are
almost synonymous with the North
Pole to average minds in the tenn
perate zone, a comparison of maps
shows that Sitka and st. Petersburg,
in Russia, are in the same latitude,
and the mouth of the Chilcat river is
on a line with the south coast OF
Greenland. The extentof this north
west territory and the vast distances
between points are more than be-
wildering. Alaska itself is equal to
all the United States east of the Mis-
sissippi river. Counting in the Aleu-
tian chain, the Pirbylof group and
the HOO islands of the Alexander
archipelago, the total area of the
Alaskan island is 81, 265 square miles.
The island of Attu, the last of the
Aleutan chain, is as far west of San
Francisco as Bangor, Maine, is east
of it, and the indented coast line Of
Alaska. measuring $4,000 miles, is
even greater than the whole coast line
of the Atlantic and Pacific shores Of
the United States together.

Is not revenue reform needed p
VIII any good citizen claim that
government should collect from the
people annually millions more than is
required to carry on the government
economically The depression in
trade and business surely need relief,
and revenue reform would take of
burdens that have been expressing
and bearing heavily on the productive
industries of the country. Labor
needs this relief, for it is on labor
that this enormous taxation falls.

Large Fires.

On Saturday persons in various parts of the
county were considerably alarmed at the huge
volumes Of smoke that were seen to arise in the
neighborhood of Middletown, and here in the
village and elsewhere much speculation was in
dulged in as to its probable cause, and many
feared that some dwelling house in that section
was being burned. On Sunday it was learned
that large fires were raging in the woods o that
section and much territory had been laid waste
by the devouring flames. The fire WAS started
in the woods on Mr.. B. F. Blandiords farm,
above Middletown, on Friday night 10y some
parties who were out coonhunting and owing
TO the parched and dry condition OF all the
trees and underground the flames spread very
rapidly and catching the trees in the woods soon
made such Roadway as TO render the checking
of it impossible. 1t ragged IN Mr.. Blandtord
woods ali Friday nj. hit and aided by the high
winds which prevailed on .turday soon spread
TO all the surrounding forests and left waste and
desolation in its track. The woods of Mess.
WikerSon, B. W. Moore, Jno. Hoffman and
Patrick Duffy al suffered from the devosring
element and much fencing on the farms OF the Sc
gentleman was also destroyed ltrtqulred the
most strenuous eXertion of the whole pula-
ton of that section to keep the fire from out
buildings and dwelling houses and it was only
by tearing away all combustible material that
could possibly feed the flames from around those
that they were saved. Every farmer in the
neighborhood turned out and worked with
will on Saturday and Sunday to check the ad-
vancing enemy, and through their exertions
the FIRE burnt itself out on Sunday night. 1t is
estimated that about FIVE hundred acres of forest
was burned over and persons from ths neigh
borhood sa, that the fire has left the ground as
bare as the road bed The loss is estimated AT
nearly ST coo, and Mr.. Hoffman, who owned
the largest body of woods is said to be the
greatest sufferer. The heaviest timber bad been
cut out of all those woods by Mr.. Hoffman, who
has been at work there for some years past, and
this has kept the loss down to a comparatively
small figure. This fire proves how foolhardy
and dangerous it is to build CT have any fire
near the woods in their present dry and CON-
buStible con lition and We trust this experience
will prevent others from doing SO foolish
thing as is above noted.
