Another good plan is to buy lot of good
temperance tracts and write your letters,
your notes and your orders upon the
blank side 1t is wonderful how much
temperance literature can be scattered
this way In no other way does it Sc
cure such certain reading. Dear sisters
instead Of buying writing paper, buy
temperance tracts, which are cheaper
and write what you have to say on their
blank side. Who will do this? To
those who are in earnest in this fight, SO
many ways of work suggest themselves.

ABERDEEN, April Judge R. A.
Hill, Of the United States District
Court, yesterday charged the grand jury
that in cases where jugs or packages Of
liquor are imported to prohibition towns
and cities, and paid for on delivery, the
parties sending the same are liable to in
dictment for violation of the revenue
laws Of the United States. No offenses
Of the kind have yet been reported, but
it is probable that several will be un-
earthed before adjournment of court.

Somebody says that '.Man is the only
animal that blows his nose" The alli-
gator has u nose nearly two feet long,
yet he never blows it; the elephant can
reach over his nose and tickle his hind
legs. and he often does, but he never
blows it. The blue-nosed baboon has a
cerulean proboscis of which the noblest
animal must feel proud, but it goes un-
blown. The double-nosed pointer has
immense capacity for blowing, but he
never will; and the oyster, whose nose
reaches clean round to his back, re-
Trains from exercising it. Man alone
has to reach TO the height of a pocket
handkerchief. and he proudly waves
his bandana as a sufficient proof Of hie
superiority.

A skiIlful Young Canvasser.

A good story is told of little girl.
whose mother is member of Bosworth
Relief Corps, which goes TO show that
even at her tender age she is smart
enough to run fair. The little miss is
ladylike When the Relief Corps de-
cided to hold fair the ladies, as is Gus
tomary, asked their friends to contribute
articles to their various tables. Now.
our little miss thought she would do
business on her own hook. So she
called on many ladies she knew, inter-
ested them in the fair, and when it was
time to open the fair this little miss had
secured so much and of such variety
that a cart had to be sent to collect the
contributions.
This little miss was very attentive
during the fair One evening Mayor
Deering came into the hall. The young
lady waItzed up to him and said--her
bright face and sparkling eyes attract
ing the attention of listeners Mayor
Deering. am collecting some money
for the fair; won't you contributor
The Mayor put his hand in his pocket,
took out some money, and. without
looking at it, handed it to the little miss.
She thanked him and went off, but in
few moments was back again and
said
Mayor Deering, / forgot to tell you
that we proposed to print the names OF
those contributing the money am col
lecting, and when you gave me some
money you didn't stop to look at it, and
/ thought you ought to know you gave
me cents, because | didn't believe you
would want it printed that the Mayor
of Portland gave z cents at the fair.
A broad smile overspread the Mayors
face, and, drawing his pocket-book he
handed the little miss scrip $5 bill.
Now says our little miss, 81 hear
Governor Robie is here, Mr.. Mayor, and
/ would like ever so much to be intro
duced. Won't you introduce me?"
Certainly" replied His Honor, al
ways gallant, ''come with me.
So the couple walked up to where the
Governor was. and the Mayor, address
ing him, said:
s'Governor, here is a little girl who is
very anxious to know the Chief Magis
trate of the State"
The Governor turned, shook hands
with our little miss. asked her her name,
patted her head and asked her what he
could do for her.
"Why, Governor Robie." she replied,
Il am collecting some money for the
fair Won't You contribute?"
"Of course | will, replied the Gov
ernor; "what shall | give you?n
"Well, you sec, said our little miss,
Mayor Deering has given me S.. and,
Of course, the Governor OF a State would
wish to give more than the Mayor of

The governor was quick to see the
joke, and laughingly drew his wallet
and handed our little miss bill to add
