maintain that when it comes down to &
genuine accommodating hurricane Da-
kota again takes the lead A good ex-
ample of this occurred in this county:
John Eckers had presumption and
homestead claims adjoining, and about
the time of the following remarkable
occurrence had just proved up on the
former. A day after his proof had
been made he was eating his evening
meal in his log shanty with q neighbor.
Say, pard," he remarked, "now I've
got my presumption, I'll have to move
this house onto the homestead claim,
as it will be cheaper than putting up
another. Hardly were the words out
OF his mouth, when one of these sudden
small cyclones struck the shanty, and,
strange as it may seem, lifted the
house off the presumption and set it
down on the homestead, without break
ing anything except a shaving cup

SINCE prohibition has been in operation:
in Athens, Georgia, the City Council has
dropped one third its police force.
IT is said that California is the only
State in the Union without Sunday law.
1t is dead letter in many States, however
The age of consent has been raised to
eighteen years on the Isle of Man. This is
doubtless owing to the fact that women
vote on this island.
One Of the best signs of the times is the
declination of saloon risks by the insur-
ance companies. 1t will soon be that there;
will be no such protection for the liquor
dealer.
The annual meeting Of the illinois
Catholic Abstinence Union was held i'll
Chicago recently. Tho President said that.
in the past year he had given the pledge to
$4,000 persons.
THERE are but two counties in oil the
State of Illinois that have no W. G. L.
Unions. Almost every town in the center
and northern part OF the State contains
furnishing union.
PROMINENT w. G. t. U. worker of
Ohio, who has recently returned from her
missionary labors in Africa, stated that the
ship which carried her to that far-away
land had on board four missionaries and

A Liberal CLUB" has been organized
in Atlanta, Ca, to fight prohibition and
the measure at the polls eighteen months
hence. Surely prohibition is doing it's
| work, else there could be no object in Or
ganizing against it.
A MAN in Boston hotel recently ordered
beer at dinner, then seeing that the lady
near him wore the white ribbon, he recalled
the order and apologized, saying, Excuse

, wore the white ribbon" So much for "a
small badge.
Der. II has been designated by the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union as temperance Sabbath. Az effort

petition should be offered for the over
throw Of the liquor traffic, which is the
greatest hindrance to Christianity.
