poLLY's STORY.

DoLLY's STORY.
Yes, It happened all froo mel
This is how it come about:
Paul was going off to sea,
Cause our Kate and him fell out.
Kate was in the souf quadrangle,
Looking for her silver bangle;
Nip and were running by,
And we heard her cry and cry.
There were vines, and roses, too,
All about the old stone gate,
And We hided, and peeked froo,
And we saw my sister Kate
Take her pretty diamond locket-
Cousin Paul's gift-out of her pocket,
Ana she kissed the picture in it
Bout q hundred times a minutei
We were sorry as could be-
And we tried to skurry past
(Nip's my turfy dog, YOU see),
But rose briar held me fast;
Then saw my cousin Paul
Peeking over the rosery wall,
And he looked so white and grim
was most afraid of him
81
80 we cuddled down, as close
As two mouses, in the dark
And pinched poor Nippys nose
So he couldn't growl or bark,
While we watched 'em; cousin Paul
Leaning on the r0Sery wall,
And Kate, solemn as could be,
Letting on she didn't see7
He was staring down at her,
But she wouldn't look OF speak;
So gave the vines q whirr,
And began to laugh and Shrek
While we scampered off and hid
''Katy didl Katy did!
Katy kissed the pretty locket
She's got hided in her pocketp
BY and by we heard 'em talk,
Cousin Paul and sister Kate,
Coming down the Laurel walk,
Froo the old quadrangle gate;
They were stepping long as SLOW
And his arm was round her, So
And heard him ask her-well,
Guess promised not to tell

A Bad Custom Dying Out.

'What has become of the witty, hail
fellow-well-met, good looking, noisy
chaps that were the typical drummers
of a dozen years ago?' Drank them
selves to death MOSTLY said the vet
eran. ''Some are in business for them
selves, some have survived and are at
it yet, but the majority have drank
themselves to death. Fifteen years ago,
when / first vent into business, it was
a positive fact that the man who could
drink the most liquor Gould sell the most
goods. Merchants seemed to expect it
when they saw drummer, either when
the drummer went n the country, Or
the merchant came y New York. u /

TEMPERANCE.
LIE REIeN OF KING ALcoHoL,

A RECITATION.
Oh, this wicked old King
Is hateful old thing,
And he's ruling our beautiful landi
His subjects are slaves,
He lowers and depraveS,
Ali he sins with a very high hand.
OH their bonds are so strong,
Like chain or thong,
And all too late they viii learn
That greedy old thing
Is this wicked old King,
And he wants every penny they earn.
In his dotage is he,
You all will agree,
For he staggers and reels as he goes;
And his vile, blOated face
Has no feature of grace,
And he wears red patch on his nose.
But the women to-day
Are working away
AT grave for this monster of sin,
and some day, I'm sure,
With intention most pure,
They Il manage to tumble him in.

CuLPABLE REcKLEssNEss.

Questionable Manner in Which some
Medical Practitioners Prescribe the Use
of Alcohol.
Excepting one drug, there is nothing
which medical men are so particular
about as the nature and quality of the
drugs they prescribe. They are exact
to grain in their prescriptions, and
so careful are they that they frequent
ly recommend their patients to get
their prescriptions made at some par
ticular establishment, so as to obtain
the purest drugs. But in reference to
one drug they display a culpable reck-
lessness in the way in which they fire.
quently prescribe it to their patients.
They do not seem to care what course
of life the latter have led, and even
though they may have been greatly
addicted to intemperance, our medical
men only sometimes take that into ac-
count Accordingly, they prescribe
the powerful drug alcohol; and,
instead of doing this in q form in
which it could be obtained at the
apothecary's shop, they advise their
paLlenbS. men, women ana cnllOfenF
sober and incorporate alike, to take it
in the shape of wine, beer or spirits,
to be procured at any grocer's, wine
merchants, publie-house or beer-shop
they may choose, and too often can we
hear the young man or woman say
with an air of authority at a public bar
counter: 81 am taking this because
the doctor ordered it," Varying as
these drinks do, as TO strength and
purity, at each description of shop
where they are sold, such conduct on
the part of medical practitioners does
seem very like quackery, and dis
grace to the noble profession. If al
cohol be required as medicine, bat
which, after the experience of the
Temperance Hospital in London, is
very questionable, still, if our allo-
pathic and homeopathic practitioners
think it necessary in certain cases, let
them be consistent, and show tine same
care in its prescription as they do in
respect to other drugs.-Dnbli1a Coffee
Palace Journal.

Its Home and Social EffectS-TwO Pictures
That Tell of It's Devastation and Ruin.
How many are sending up prayers
for help to save some dear one, that
liquor is dragging down to the lowest
depths of misery and despair! How
many bright ornaments of society. sub
stantial business men, kind husbands
and fathers have sunk so low, one
bushes to know them!
Think of the blasted lives, of the
wives and little children who live lives
of toxture, because their fate is linked
with one who loves liquor better than
the wife he has sworn at Gods altar to
love and protect. How many a woman
hears with terror the footstep which at
one time made her heart leap and thrill
with pleasure inexpressible. OH that
once bright little home replete with
happiness. The dainty curtains, boun-
tifully supplied table and tasteful ftrni-
ture. The neatly dressed children wait
ing Cor fathers return and evening kiss.
The proud, happy wife waiting for the
central figure of her little world, the
author of her complete worhanly life.
Row, see that other picture, telling of
misery without and within. See those
trembling children and down-hearted
wife; hear those words of abuse heaped
on the ''iesh of his flesh, and bone Of
his bone" Strife has usurped the for
merly happy abode, shadows becloud
the sunlight of smiles. The flowers are
withered, the carpets are full of holes,
the larder is empty and the children
turn to the mother FOR the support she
begs or earns. We draw our conclusion.
That man has become a drunkard. This
is the home view. Now look at its eff
feet on society at large Testimony
furnished us by our daily papers,
judges, philosophers and all keen OBJ
servers prove that the most dreadful
crimes are committed under the infu-
ence of liquor. When we reflect on the
life destroyed, the industry sacrificed,
the shame and pauperism, the waste of
financial resources, the only wonder is
that the American people do not say
this curse shall not longer existe-Mar-

ADMISSION OF STATES.

The onion quotes from the Pioneer
Press the following just remarks Of the
injustice of Congress in not admitting
Territories as States which have all the
requisites of state hovei:
"Tle lessons Of our history with refer
cnce to our Territorial question, says the
Pioneer Press, points ali in one direction.
Independence Of the dangers of form
Of government, which is essentially that
imposed by monarchies upon dependent
colonies, independent of the abuses which
are pretty sure to be generated by max
ing Territorial Office aSyiums Of refuge
for defeated or disappointed politicians OF
the States, thu mere existence Of unad-
mitted Territory is constant temptation
to the misuse Of political power. 1t was
50 in the days of slavery, when the first
battle ground was over the question Of its
extension to the Territories Of the West
and Southwest 1t is so to-day, when a
party seeks to strengthen its power by
deliberately declaring from their rishtiul
participation in National Affairs many
hundreds Of thousands Of the most intel
ligent, energetic and loyal citizens of the
Nation. 1t is time for this monstrous
denial of the rights intended to be secured
to all our people to come to an end. And
i. must be accepted as safe general prin-
cipal that every Territory should be ad-
mi,ted to the privileges and responsible
ties of Statehood at the earliest possible
moment after it has demonstrated Its title
to enjoy the same. Even adopting the
test that Territory should have about
sufficient population to entitle it to one
Representative in Congress on the present
basis of apportionment, which, by the
way, is not Constitutional test at all.
but only an invention Of those who think
that it is their prerogative to prescribe
the conditions on which their fellow cit
izens shall enjoy equal rights with them
selves, there are four Territories which
either fulfill the condition now or are sure
to do SO before the necessary preliminaries
to administration could be attended to-
South Dakota already fills the bill. North
Dakota, Montana and Washington are all
much further advanced both in popula-
ton and in all the material evidences Of
progress than were half dozen States

there is upwards 100000 acres suitable
for settlement, which Is interpreted with

and of very rich productive soil. 1t is
generally lower in altitude than Camas
Prairie, being at an elevation Of from
$500 to 1900 feet above sea level. Shows
lie upon these lands little longer each
season than upon Camas Prairie, owing
to the fact that the timber shelters it
from the Chinook winds, which carries
off the snow Oh Camas Prairie. 1t is
fine grazing country, producing some Of
the finest grasses on the northwest.
About ego ranches 160 acres each can
be selected in south Shoshone, upon
which industrious farmers can thrive.
AT present its remotness from markets
makes it less desirable than some of the
open prairics farther west, but its settle
ment will soon force the building of a
good wagon road down the Clearwater
to Lewiston, which can be travelled at all
seasons o: the year. The timber re-
sources of these surveyed lands are almost
inexhaustable, and must eventually be
of great value to the prairie lands, which
lie in the west. 10 10 creek, Jim Fords

no gave the origin Of the institution,
both in the old countries and in Ameri-

stitutien, which he claimed was organized
in Baltimore April in 1919, by Mr..
Wilder. He gave long account of the
characteristics and influence Of this man
Wilder, and his benevolence and person
al humanity. He mentioned the aggre-
gate amount which this institution has
expended in the care Of the sick and af.
flicted, and in the support of orphan fam
lies since its organization in America,
which to the uninitiated seemed almost
incredible. He dwelt upon the neces-

order, and enjoined upon all Odd Fell
lows, that in the admission Of new mem
bers they strictly observe the quali6ca-
tons for members and admit none who
do not ful6ll tho requirements, claiming
that this became necessary for the pres
eryation Of the power and good influence
Of the order. He dwelt upon the intel

order, and claimed that it was an educa-

that it was in no sense political insti.

our SURPLUS PRODUCT.

We made an estimate Of the surplus
grain raised the past season within the
range Of wagon transportation to Snake
river between this place and Riparia a
distance Of 20 miles along the river, in
former number, We put this at $4,000
tons. From conversation with gentlemen
who have studied the question and made
estimates, We are now convinced that We
undereaimated this surplus. We think
that 1000 tons will fall short Of the
amount. The steaml boats have done
some better than they did last year in
removing this grain. At this time last
year We obtainedlthe figures Of the amount
taken away. Then lshowed less than
5000 tons shipped urto the 18th Of Dec.
A. near as We can get at the amount
shipped this year, since the LIST Of Sep
tember not less than 1900 tons have
been shipped, and unless the river closes
before the last Of this month they will
have shipped about 6,O0O tons more. We
ars informed that the steam boat men
estimate that there is now awaiting ship
ment 4 the different landings along the
river about 30, 900 tons and more coming
daily to the landings. In this place alone
ars about 1000 tons awaiting transporta-
tion By boats, and above this about 900
tom. and full one-third Of the surplus is
till upon the farms that produced it. The
railroad from Colfax is taking large
amount this year that would have been
