Give the pgor man chance? My son
the pOor m II takes about all the chances
without waiting to have one given him.
Ii you give him any more chances than
he takes he will soon own everything,
and run the OHIO man out of the conn
try. The fact is we must curtail the
poor mans chances little. We must
sit down on him and hold him down. and
give the rich man chance. The poor
man has had things his own way too
long, he has crowded the rich man out.
But for the poor man the old world
would have cast anchor 5000 years ago,
and be covered with moss and barnacles

Shakespeare couldn't spell and couldn't
write his own name-neither can you;

How TO HELP Us.-Keep posted on
the child's doings at school.
Impress upon pupils the necessity of
attending to school business.
Do not let them get carried away
with anything else.
Act as mediator when your child
takes dislike te school or teacher.
Keep pupils home Monday. Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights as a
general thing.
Encourage them to work and not give
up too easily.
Visits schools often.
If something seems wrong come and
find what the state of affairs really is.
How TO HINDER Us Don't pay
much attention to schools.
Let pupils be absent or get excused
often.
Tell pupils that teachers crank"
Believe all yarns about school and
help circulate them.
Be slow in getting a slate pencil or
some apparently unlmportant article.
If any pupil makes slow progress
blame the teacher for it.
Just notice all that is bad in the
schools and little or nothing that's good.

earned competence, he is thinking of
selling out his hotel. There is chance
for some live man, a good business al
ready established.
1t is with pleasure that we announce
elsewhere that Mr.. +. w. Bryan is to

years close application to the drug
business in all its branches has placed
Mr.. Bryan at the head of his profession
and made his business success. He
will be missed from social as we'll as
business circles and the best wishes of
the whole community will go with him

For THE HERALD.
A Tribute

To the Memory Of Mrs Dorcas Clark, who died
in Wyalusing Oct. T. and whose obituary was
published in THE HERALD Oct. Is, 1885, by her
daughter, Mrs. S. A. Peart, of Grafton, Cal.
Dear mother, You have gone before
TO that Home that no mortal has seen;
The silent ferrymsn has rowed you Ger
The dark stream that flows ever between
This earth life of ours and that beautiful land.
Where after life's sorrows we rest;
On that peaceful shore you'll suffer no more
For You dwell in the home OF the blest.
We will strive not TO grieve, for you are wait
ing for us,
Midst friends who have passed on before;
Though your well beloved form here no more
meets our view.
We will meet on that heavenly shore.
Although there a void, dear vacant place
In our home circles to-day;
And we miss, oh. we miss, our sweet mothers
face
That the angels have taken away.
We will live to meet you again when Hfe's
journey is past
Where for us you now watch and wait.
Whenthe WORKOUT earth garments the spirit
has cast
And we've entered the heavenly gate.
The Lord knoweth best in his wisdom and
might
And We bow to his Christening rod;
Though He taketh our loved ones away from
our sight
And we place their forms meath the sod;
Though we know that Hes called the dear ones
away
To dwell with the angels on high
10th beautiful land. where Ii ever is day.
Yet for their dear presence we sigh.

What a Greenbacker Relieves.

EDITOR HERALD | have some
thoughts that should like to present to
the readers of The HERALD, and if this
does not find its way to the waste bask-
ct, | may offer something more; so |
shall "define nay position" | am
greenbacker; and as strict partisans,
whether styling themselves democrats
or republicans, have, so far as my OBJ
servations have extended, very erron-
eous notions concerning the belief and
aims of Greenbackers, | will state what
an "out-and-out' greenbacker believes.
He believes that want and the fear of
want are Ire chief causes Of crimes and
unjust dealings among the masses of the
people. That want and the fear of want
are tne results of the workings of unjust
systems. That poverty is the indirect
result of the crimes of society and the
direct result of the crimes of "the gov
eminent That tne.e should be col
lectiye ownership and management OF
all public utilities and conveniences. He
believes that want and the fear of want
with its results as given before, can be
banished by the adoption and use of
just systems of land tenure. OF money,
of transportation for both persons and
property, of ansmission for messages,
etc. That money is the general soci-
ety's certificate. leco d, check, and or
der. That money is not product of
nature, but that it is product of assoc
| eiat,on and standard, not of value, but
OF payment. That money is a record
and a representative of value: Though
not of the value of the material in the
monetized coin, but of the value of the
labor performed or of the property de-
livered in exchange foc the coin. That
when the general society shall do for
all at the expense Of all, what it now
does for a class at the expense of all,
then that ''good time a coming" will
be near at hand.
And now, on tomorrow (Which Will
be Saturday. Nov. 21) every merchant
in all this broad, rich, undeveloped land,
who has on his books frem three hun
dred TO five thousand dollars against
his customers, will think in the morn
ing, "Now, several of my customers will
! come in and pay me money on account
to-day but at night, most of them will
find that but few have paid them any
thing, and many of these merchants
will not receive dollar on account, but
not one who will not be asked to put
many dollars on the book. All of which
congress can remedy in week after it
convenes if it will; and it will do so if
the people say it must.

we are having active times just now
and some times pretty noisy. We have
now something over one hundred men
at work in the vicinity of the village.
V. ID. Bert, The contractor, is straight
man and aims to do the fair thing by
all. The men come SO fast that it is
hard to find quarters for them and
teams. Stalls rent for 50 per week and
some have to stand outdoors until sta
bles can be built The contractor. how
ever, is doing his best to get stables and
boarding houses built to accommodate
ALL There are already three camps
started which will come pretty near ac-
communicating all with private boarding
houses. All are taking boarders that
can. The men employed are mostly
foreigners that make business of fol-
lowing up public works. The grading
for the wagon road is progressing finely
between Glen Haven and the mouth of
Sandy Greek, distance of three miles,
that having to be done before the rail
road company can take the wagon road
for railway purposes. The calculation
is to work three hundred men here this
winter, there being some deep filing to
be done, the material to be taken from
along the bluffs where the leaves pre-
vent freezing.
There are still two boats up in the Dia-
mond 10 line which wind up the boat
ing season for this year.
The telegraph is ready for operation.
An office will be established at our
place in a few days which will be quite
convenient for Us.

DEATH OF Mrs. SCHNEIDER. Acting
upon what appeared to be reliable in
formation, we sometime since alluded
to the death of Mrs. Schneider, of Po-
tosi, as suicide, but later evidence I'M
doubtedly verifies the following from
The Dubuque Times: s.The funeral of
the late Mrs. j. II. Schneider, of Potosi,
yesterday, was attended by large
number of friends and relatives of the
family. among them quite a number
from lis city. The post mortem ex-
animation revealed the fact that the
unfortunate lady took no poison. as the
stomach showed no traces of poison
Whatever; neither did she die from
drowning, as only her lower limbs were
in the water while her head was lying
on the sand and not touched by the
water II is the belief that Mrs Schnei-
der wandered from home while laboring
under a fit Of mental arrangement,
brought on by long and intense suffer-
ing from erysipelas, and persisted from
exhaustion and exposure in the thicket
on the river bank. Nothing whatever
iustifies the belief in case Of suicide,
as no phials of poison were found near
her. The sorrowing family have the
sympathy of the entire community
