Kriesas' Temperance Conference

Tie Friends monthly temperance
conference was held a. the meeting.
hopte NJ Keunatt Square, on Sunday
afternoon, the l7th, and was unusually v
well attended. After readiHg the min
utes Of the previous meeting, and the
report of committee in charge OF publ il
schools, the question Of high license
was brought up and ably discussed.
While there were some present who BE-
lieved the high license system would
materially lessen the number OF drinh
ing houses, thereby placing the temp
tation hey opd the reach OF many, the
general opinion seemed TO prevail that
license To com init crime In absolutely y
wrong, and the price Of that license
does not mitigate the crime, but rather
give character 70 the business. A high
license law strictly enforced would
place beyond the possibility Of doubt
the existence Of many Of the lower
Idramshops, which decorate our street
corners with their inviting signs, and
painted windows with screens before
tho door, which insure privacy to those
who have not the lcourAge to openly
Quaf down the glass Of beer. But ia
that what weas temperance men want ?
Do We want 70 destroy these lower deDs
OF corruption, from which our respec-
! table young men shrink in disgrst, or
would We rather destroy those OF .
more respe ctable olass, where our young
men learn the second lesson of intem-
perance, (the FIRST Ia often innocently
taught by thoughtless parents In the
glass Of cider or home made wine In
the family circle). We contend that .
business 30 hurtful 10 the moral. social
aud intellectual interests OF humanity
cannot be made too rid diculous. The more
degrading 1t appears the less It will be
INDUCED In by respectable persons. A
true temperance man can { con sistently
do that which will add dignity 70 this
great crime. High license means pro.
lection 70 manufacturers OF Intoxicating z
drinks; IL means protection to certain
individuals, who have the capital TO
sucnessfully carry on the business, and
OF course receives the support OF manu-.
facturers and dealers generally, aud
should not be supported by temperance &C
men.
The next meeting, In which children
are particuly invited to take part, will
be held at the same place the 2lst oi
next month at 2 o'clock p. m., 10 which
all friendly 70 the cause are invited.

Mr.. Hale offered resolution, which was
agreed to, making inquiry of the Secre.
tary OF the Treasury In regard to charges
that convict labor was employed by the
contractors for putting an additional
story on the post-office at Peoria, Illinois,
last year. A resolution was offered by
Mr. Mitchell, Of Oregon, aud referred to

calling on the Secretary of State for
copies of all correspondence between the

OF our treaty with China, having refer
ence to the enforcement OF the treaty
provisions. Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont,
addressed the Senate In favor of the sus-
pension of the silver coinage. After

A Small Dakota Cyclone.

Eccentric as these storms are, we
maintain that when it comes down to
genuine accommodating hurricane
Dakota again takes the lead. A good
example of this occurred in this coun-
ty. John Eckers had presumption and
homestead claims adjoining, and about
the time of the following remarkable
occurrence he 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 a 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 breaking any
thing except shaving-cup.- Wahpe-

SUCCESSFUL HYPOCRlTES.
The Number of Gifts Which They Must
Necessarily Possess.

Necessarily Possess.
SO far as our own observation has
gone. we are driven to the conclusion
that the hypocrite of fiction is per-
son who appears in fiction and no.
where else. To deny that there ever
existed such person as Joseph Sur
face or Mr.. Pecksniff would be injudi-
cious, for the simple reason that we
are not acquainted with all the people
who have existed, and it is difficult to
set limit either to the moral or the
physical freaks of nature; but it is by
no means difficult to prove that such a
character is as truly abnormal as the
Siamese twins or the ''two-headed
nightingale" Of course, it can neither
be reasonably denied that there is such
a vice as hypocrisy, nor affirmed that
its manifestations are particularly rare.
Hypocrisy is, indeed, unpleasantly COM
mon, but it is very different, much less
amusing and more dangerous quality
than the counterfeit presentment which
stands as its substitute on the boards of
the stage and in the pages of the novel.
The one distinguished popularity of
the hypocrite of fiction is that he is a
conscious and deliberate humbug. He
does not believe in his own professions
ofreligion and philanthropy, but adopts
them, as the peripatetic card sharper
adopts his rustic garb and his innocent
expression, in order to deceive and
swindle his neighbors. 1t is clear that
if this be the ordinary type of hypocri-
sy the successful hypocrite must be a
singularly clever person. He mustpos-
sess in high degree number of quail
tiles which, while singly more or less
rare, are in combination hardly to be
found anywhere. He must have in
sight into character, that he may gauge
the gllibility of each victim; he must
have wonderful tact to keep him from
mistakes as to the best method of ap-
proach; he must, for reasons too
obvious to be particularized, have a
fine histrionic gift; and he must, more
over, possess sufficient sympathy with
true religious emotion or lofty moral
impulse to initiate its manifestations
with some decent approach to verisi-
Multitude. A man of this kind would
have so many resources that he would
be extremely unlikely to tie himself
down to the very troublesome plan of
making his way by affecting to hold
convictions with which he had no SYM
pathy, and conditioning his life by
altogether distasteful limitations. The
villain in a transporting melodrama,
who is generally as much of a fool as
knave, every now and then exclaims:
II must dissemble;" but if clever
man were to set himself to dissemble
through every hour of his life he would
soon come to the conclusion that the
game was not worth the CANDLE

WILLOWS FOR FUEL.
The Promising Experiment Made by a
Western Iowa Farmer.


A few weeks ago l put out 1900
willow cuttings on the shoulder side or
space between the ridge of machine
made ditch, go yards long, plowed out
last spring, and it is expected that they
will grow one-third faster, and as much
larger, in six or seven years, than they
would in high and dry soils.
In this State, and others of the
Northwest, there are large number of
boys or sloughs-narrow and awk-
wardly formed parcels of marsh land
which are most of them quite wet
several weeks in spring, producing only
a profusion of large weeds and coarse
grasses that are not suitable for graz
ing or hay. Scores of miles of bitches
were plowed through these scattered
and numerous sloughs last spring, cut
ting many of them in two lengthwise.
In my own case, there are only two
sloughs, varying from four to dozen
or sixteen rods in width, and the ditch
and its excavated bank will make an
earth basis for good and necessary
fence As this willow grows so freely
on moist land, both here and in En-
gland, have decided-if | survive till
next spring-to set out strong willow
cuttings, Is to 20 inches long. on
enough of the moist, narrow strips of
marsh land to raise wood lots for fuel
for one or two small farms.
There was temporary doubt at first
about preventing the newly set cut
tings from being shaded and smothered
by the rank growth of natural grass
and weeds produced on this slough
soil. But on consideration it is found
that mulching with coarse manure, old
straw, ETC., will keep the grass and
weeds down, and allow the willows to
grow up and get tall start in the first
two seasons, without check.
The width apart of these wood-lot
willow rows may be from to 10 feet, and
the distance between the set cuttings
in the rows from to feet, according
to size of cutting, depth of soil, ETC.,
the greater width between the rows
being to admit teams and wagons or
sleighs in drawing wood for fuel six or
seven years hence. If the rows aver
age s feet between, this will be four
rows to the rod; and as, when seven
years grown, % rods in length of a
single row will supplya cord Of willow
wood for fuel, single row of 40 rods
each in length, will probably supply
| sixteen cords of home-raised willow
wood fuel-enough to serve q large
farmhouse for six months with fire.
wood; and only ten such rows, 40 rods
each in length will supply fuel perma-
nently for century. if fire is kept out
of the plantation and reasonable care
is exercised in cutting the poles of

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A SPLENDID TIME.

With acorn cups and saucers,
And lovely oak-leaf plates,
A paper for tablecloth
And bits of stone for weights
Because the wind in frolic
Might blow it all away
We children had a company
In Cedar Woods to-day.
We had loaf of gingerbread
From grandma's best receipt,
The very incest kind of cake
For hungry boys to eat.
We had Aunt Sarah's cookies.
And biscuits made with yeast
And sandwiches, of course, beside,
a really royal feast.
We'd asked our Cousin Lucy,
And DR.. Perkins Fred,
And pretty Lottie Sanderson, s-t
And merry Jack and Ned.
But, sitting by her window,
As dull as duh could be,
We saw, as to the woods we went,
That fretful May MCGEE.
Poor little lonesome cripple,
Z No wonder she is cross; S.
We all of us might be the same"
4 So pleaded darling Floss;
And as we looked and listened
We thought about way
To make a sort of litter,
And carry little May.
You should have seen her wonder,
You should have heard her laugh:
We had splendid time with May,
A better time by half
Than if we'd left her pining
APP risoner by herself,
As lonely as a single cup
4 Upon the kitchen shelf.
And since we've thought about 10
We mean TO have a care, :.
And always IN our pleasant things
Let some forlorn one share;
And thus, our mother tells us,
We'll keep the Golden Rule,
And send the happy times along,
AT home, at play in school.
