The Daily Grind of WOman's Work.

The quiet fidelity with which woman
will dishwash her life away for her husband
and children is marvel of endurance. Here
is the servitude of womanhood heaviest No
sooner is her work done than it requires to
be done again. Men take jobs, work on them
finish them, and they are over for good and
ALL The prospect offending them and draw
ing pay for the labor is aluring, but no such
allurements are held out for the wife. She
washes Monday after Monday the same gar
ments until there is nothing more of them to
wash then they are replaced by others of
new material just like them, and the rubbing
and wrnging goes on forever. She mends
the stockings with tireess fidelity, the same
holes meeting her gaze, week after week. for
If there is darn place in sock "he" invaria-
bly, puts his irrepressible toe through it,.
Every morning the rooms are put in order
only TO be in the widest disorder by the
time night falls. There are no jobs each one
different there is no pay day. The same
socks, the same washing, the same room
every time. There is too little brightness in
the lives of women in the country. They
have too little help in their domestic occupa-
tions. The nurse" in u house where there
is baby to care for ought to be set down as
one OF the regular expenses as much as the

Life should not have lost its CHARM the heart

years And yet how many women are faded

long before they are forty, All thejoy of life
is not In youths morning. If we so will it,

Searching for Liquor in Prohibition
Maine

MIR. ID. X Locke was taken down a long
and short fight of stairs, and turned to the
left and to the right, and again 10 the LETT and
up into dimly lighted room with a cheap
counter. The stuff was there. Liquor is
taken into Maine in kegs packed in barrels
of flour, and in nail kegs and in many other
evasive ways. How it is sold is illustrated
by the case of an Irish woman who has a
room in the rear of her kitchen, in which are
several bottles in sight over each of which is
a weight suspended bya string Underneath
is tub of water impregnated with kerosene
oil. The officers can enter by the front door
only, and when they approach she darts into
the back room and cuts the string. The
weight descends and smashes the bottles into
the tub, and the smell of the whisky is neu-
tralized. One man dug hole through his
cellar wall, and put in store of liquor, and
than painted the door in imitation of stone
The place of concealment was betrayed by a
man who was drunk A woman had her
cellar paved with flat stones, and under one
stone was concealed a large stock of liquor
The stuff has been seized in hotels, in dwell
ings at railroad freight houses, in express
companies offices, and at the boat landings.
There are officers under the Sheriff whose
sole duty it is to keep liquor out of the city;
nevertheless il gets in. After condemnation
the liquor is emptied into the sewers

BE CoURTEoUs.-The influence of gentle,
courteous words upon those unused even to
words of common comfort may be learned
from an incident, which also shows that it
pays to be polite even to street Arab:
One day in suddenly turning the corner of
street, a young lady ran against little
boy, and almost knocked him down.
Stopping as soon as she could she turned,
and said very kindly to the boy
~ beg your pardon, my little fellow am
very sorry ran against you"
The poor boy was astonished. He looked
at her moment with surprise; and then,
taking off his cap, he bowed very low and
said, while smile spread itself all over his
face:
"You can have my parding and welcome,
miss; and the next time you may run agin
me, and knock me clean down, and | won't
say a word"
After the lady had passed on, he turned to
his companion and said:
81 say Jim, it's the first time | ever had
any one to ask my parding, and it kind
took me off my feet"
That boy will never forget those gentle,
loving, peaceful words.

UNDER THE SNOW.

Bye. t. WRIGHT.
Step softly over the shrouded ground,
And the hllocks that slightly rise
Where. the snow In chilling and glittering
piles,
On the graveyard heavily lies.
Move slowly by each whitened mound,
Where 1t rests meath its ghostly pail,
And above it the lettered marble stands
Like sentinel silent and tall.
Speak gently while reading the lines they
These cold, white. motioness stones,
For the winds are repeating the words you say
In sad and pitiful tones,
AS they mournfully tell who is sleeping beneath
In each narrow sheeted bed,
where human hopes and living hearts
Are entombed with the sacred dead.
Side by side In these silent graves,
Through all the wintry hours,
Are lying the autumn's rpened grain
AND the spring-times sweetest flowers.
The earth is robbed of her beauty now,
, The clouds are leaden and low
some faces that bloomed-some hearts that beat
In the summer, are under the snow.
Under the snow is a pale young face
Some stricken mothers pride;
Under the snow in her altar-robes,
Is sweet young utumn bride.
Under the snow are brave, strong arms
Folded across the breast
Under the snow are tired hands,
LAID away to rest.
What mockery seems this spotless robe
wrapping the earth in white;
When just beneath is the sepulchre's gloom
And darkness deep as the night.
oh how can our eyes watch the cleaning light,
When our souls are burdened with gloom
How can we love the white earth. when its
depths,
Are the rayless depths Of the tomb!
How false Is the Joy that dies in the heart
Ere Its mission of cheer has begun.
Whose brightness soon fades and passes away,
Like shadow-chased beam of the sun.
God grant that the darkness may be but vail
Shading our eyes from the light
While the glory of Heavey beams just beyond,
Ready to burst on the sight,
God grant us the hope that the idol forms
We worshipped here below,
Are dressed In robes surprising cen
The stainless white of the snow.

Is your Life Worth a Dollar?

Perhaps that seems high price for
it, considering how poor your blood
is, and how your whole system is
Frustrated, debilitated, and enfeebled.
People have been heard to say, under
such circumstances, that they would
not give the toss of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
the grave, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to a broken-down man it is worth
saving.
One dollar will buy a bottle of
B,0zow'S Iron BitterS. That one dol
lar may start you on the road from
misery to recovery. A man must
take very mean view of himselfwho
is not willing to invest that much in
making one serious effort to rescue
himself from deadly debility, and to
step into the enjoyment of solid
health. Brown's Iron Biteys vital
ICES the blood, tones the nerves, and
rebuilds the system. Its work is
well known. Invest that dollar in
bottle. 8

POLITICS IN ILLINOIS


The Clinton Public eulogizes Long

republican party has no better men TOR

In the opinion Of the Peoria Journal,
Mccartney was defeated for denomination
as attorney general in the republican
convention because "he looked like a

The Springfield Register says Senator
Cullom fairly despises a southerner. He
could not endure the sight Of them during
the time fighting was going on, and there

1t is charged that Litter, who aspired
to the republican nomination for state
treasurer, was betrayed by his supposed
friends Most Of the organs throughout
the state are clapping column and a half
editorial pOultices on his wounds.
It is the candid Judgment Of the Sand
WITCH Argus (repu5Iican), that the color
ed brother is somewhat too numerous in
party convictions, and that he takes up
too much time with his oratory. The
republicans can't carry the state without
him however.
