Prohibition Good Templars.

The work OF the year SO far as we know
has been quite successful, not only in Min.
nesota but all over the States. The Order
has made some advancement in our midst,
and the cause Of general temperance has
progressed far beyond our expectations on
account Of our many divisions. 1t seems
almost impossible to think Of Good Tenn.
plar without thinking Of staunch protibi.
Zionist. But such is the division amid us
on this important principle OF our platform
that we find the brethren even, in some
cases, personal enemies to each other ON
that ground. 1t is plain that we are not
alive in this phase OF our great work, and
we need to be awakened to the necessity q,
taking stand on this great theme. Re-.

The Audacity OF Bluff.

The best game Of bluff ever saw was
played few months ago at Weiser City.
Idaho. A stray horse, which had been
running for several months within short
distance Of the city, was claimed and sold
bv saloon.keeper keeper named G. A
stranger, who had just arrived in the local.
i,y, hearing the circumstances, procured
description of the animal, called on Mr.
&. and asked II he had sold such horse.
IL did," Mr.. G. replied.
"By what authority:" was the next que.
ry.
II claimed him." said c.
"Well," said the stranger, "there is no
use disputing about the matter. You Claim.
cd him and Claim him. Wen just let a
jury decide who he belonged to-"
stop, STOP" exclaimed c., "there is no
Use OF that; II made a mistake atm very
sorry, and now I am perfectly willing to
make amends"
"Now, Mr.. c." the stranger replied,
'don't aggravate the otfense by denying it.
You would stand far higher in my es,ima.
tion II you acknowledged that you stole
the horse"
"Well," said c., tive won't quarrel. Say
what you valued the animal at and III pay

"Ffty dollars" was the answer.
Five minutes after the stranger departed
with that amount in his pocket, having re.
