CHILDRENs QUESTIONS.

The teacher of one of the juve-
nile classes at the Presbyterian Sun
day School hands us the following
questions which she says are "a few
of those asked her by her pupils last
Sunday. She also says she would be
glad if some one would furnish salts
factory answers to them. We will not
embarrass any of our friends by ap-
pointing them by name to this task,
but if any of our readers care to volun-
teer an answer to any or all of the sub
joined questions, the REGISTER will
gladly publish the communication
for it must confess that there are some
of the questions that it also would like
to see satisfactorily answered. But
here are the questions:
"What is spirit 2"
"When people die, do they 90 right
to heaven or do they stay in the grave
until the judgment day ?"
evil the coffin lid burst open ?''-
"Will Gabriel blow on a horn ?'
"Will we know each Other?"
"Will we know any one we never
saw before?"
"Won't the crowd, on the judgment
day, be 30 large that God can't man
age it?"
"Will we go home when it's out ~
"Will Grandma be old when she is
raised up; or will she be little girl,
or young woman?
"Will colOred people be made whittier"
"Will we fly to heaven, or climb up
on sunbeam ?"
"Will every one know everything
they have ever done?" If they do,
who II tell 'em ?"
One boy said he meant to catch a
star when he got to heaven.

NOTES FROM OUR Massey,

We are kindly permitted to make
the following extracts from a private
letter by Mr.. G. NJ. Simpson, which
We are sure will be read with interest
By our readers:
PASADENA, CAL, July Is, $50.
We arrived at Fort Worth,
Texas, at $40 p. m. on Tuesday after
leaving lola, and about 80 minutes af-
ter boarded the train on the Texas Pa
cific for Ell Paso. OF course until the
next morning we could not see any of
the country but when daylight came
We saw that We were passing over a
barren, desolate waste, apparently un-
inhabited except by prairie dogs. of
which there seemed to be millions,
their little mounds extending as far as
the eye could reach. The day was the
pieasantest of our whole journey, al
though l had dreaded it and thought it
would be the worst. We reached Ell
Paso the next morning at 3:l5. The
time was changed there from central
to mountain time and we all set our
watches hack to l :l5 and started out
again on the Southern Pacific for Cali
fornia. After leaving Ell Paso we
passed through the southern part of
Arizona, the most barren, God-forsak-

You have often put your head down

rushed from the oven into your face

with all day aud all night and the next
day, until we got within about 20 miles

bed of hot, white sand, interpreted
here and there for miles with alkali
beds that were as smooth and level as
q body of calm water, nearly as white
as salt and covered with q fine, white
dust that the current of air caused by
the rushing of the train would raise
In torrent and send sweeping through
the car, covering US all over and al-
most choking and binding US. 1t was
simply horrible. We trav-
eled nearly all the way from Ell Paso
in plain sight of the mountains, some
times close to them, 80 that their tops
seemed to reach to and mingle with
the clouds, snow being plainly visible
in the gulches and upon the peaks: 1t
seemed strange that with snow in plain
sight, the mercury should be from Ito
to 49, in the valleys. Los Angeles is
q fine city and must be a pleasant
place to live. A great many handsome
residences, beautiful lawns, flower

where the line between adjoining

are a great many kinds Ofcactus, some
of them ten or fifteen feet high and
looking like pillars. Lemon, orange

perfectly surround the city. have
also seen some of the most beautiful

OUR readers will doubtless be inter.
ested in the following crop summary
which appears in this weeks farmers
Review: 1.-THE prolonged drouth,
which is almost unprecedented in
length and severity, lis beginning to have
avery serious effect upon all late crops.
The spring wheat outlook has been in
10 wise improved, and the average
condition of the crop has declined since
July l, when the Farmers ReUies0 in
Dictated that the probable total wheat
yield of the United States would not
exceed a round total of 10000, 900
bushels. The.tenor of the reports in
dicates that this estimate will have to
be reduced by from 1O, OOO. 900 to 1900,
600 bushels. The reports from Nebras-
ka, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Dakota do not indicate an average of
from six to 10 bushels to the acre, with
man fields entirely ruined. Corn is
reported very uneven in Michigan, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska,
and while looking clean is in need of
rain, and shortage in the yield is
threatened. In Minnesota corn is look
ing well, but is beginning to feel the eff
fects of the drouth. The cat crop will
fall short with a promise of not to ex-
coed one-half average yield in Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota and three fourths of
an average yield in Illinois, Michigan
and Iowa. With the exception of
Minnesota the potato crop is threaten
ed with failure, few of the reports indi-
cate more than one-halfa yield, and
in many sections there is a complete
failure. The pastures in all the north
western states are reported as short
and in large sections ruined. In por-
tons of Wisconsin the cattle are fed,
owing to an inability to obtain sus-
tenance in the dried up pasturing
lands. The fruit crop of Michigan,
Illinois and Wisconsin is very promis-
ing"

The Leroy Reporter has always been
an outspoken opponent of prohibition,
but it has begun to see now that the eyes
of the whisky business ''are sot," as is
indicated by the following report of re-
cent trials in Coffey county.
On account of Mr.. c. H. Graham's
funeral on Monday. Judge Graves ex-
cused the witnesses in the Haney and
Downing liquor cases until Tuesday
morning at nine o'clock. When the
cases were called, it was found that J.
w. Haney was sick abed at home, while
Sam Downing had taken q sudden and
unexpected trip to Missouri, probably
for the benefit of his health. Gillow,
another man under charge Of violating
the law at Burlington. was also too sick
to appear in court, when his case was
called. From all of which it would ap.
pear that regular epidemic had struck
the vendors of the prohibited fluid in
COffey county, which we trust will be q
warning to all who in the future may
be tempted to "monkey" with prohibi
ton. Times have changed, and the
sentiment of the public is steadily I'M
dergOing a great change. Many PEG
pie may have opinions adverse to pro
hibition, they may consider the pres
ent prohibitOry law piece of unwis'
and unjust legislation, but they ART
not law breakers nor backers-up Of law
breakers. Therefore, it is only ques'
ton of a little while longer, when tn,
open saloon. the cellar saloon. the bach
door saloon, the "ginger ale" saloon
the pocket saloon and the boot leg sa
loon will be business fraught will
many dangers and vexations to an.
one who is not in position to leav
the State on very short notice. We d
not think they will ever be entirel,
suppressed, but no one but an outcas
will venture to have anything to d.
with them. Our advice is, "quit."

TWO PICTURES.

We always feel as though we were
betraying confidence when we quote
anything from the Democrat, owing
to the fact that it circulates only
among q select circle of friends; but
its comments in last weeks issue upon
our article of three weeks ago under
the above heading are so dignified in
tone, so logical, SO courteous and so
complimentary to Ourself personally,
that we cannot forbear quoting them
i'm full:
Well, Charley; we have gazed on your two
handiwork we simply have this to say: II you
intend 1t for one of your "gOaks," it certainly
comes with very poor grace, for even ''goak''
should he clothed with come of the habili-
ments of truth to make it at all effective. And
il You mean 1t, yOu have shown yourself stu
pidly ignorant or lost to all regard and respect
place You say '.They 1.-THE republicans) did
their political work, transacted their private
business and went quietly home" Now, Mr..
REGISTER, Will you please tell the court what
you attempt to deny, that portion of that pri-
vate business was transacted at the drug store
under the opera house, and other places of the
same character
You also say, $50 far as appeared, not h bot
tie Of beer was sold In town that day. - Now, as
| matter OF fact. we would like to ask If you have
made any EFFORT TO ascertain whether any beer
| was sold on that day or not? Is it not q fact
that you made this assertion without having
put forth any effort to see how much beer was
| sold ? DO you not know that beer is sold in
| lola every day, and that too, by republicans
and to republicans 1t is all right for you to
arrOgate to yourself and the republican party
the praise OF being the God and morality party,
but it seems to be q little ''far-fetched'' fol
You to do so by abusing and slandering your
neighbOrs and the city Of Humboldt.
You say that the democratic convention wae
called to meet at the out -Of-the-way town OF
Humboldt simply because beer could be had
| there. This, you know to be false. For in the
first place, beer can be got In lola just as east
ly as 1t can i'm Humboldt /; and in the next
place. We had more men in our eigkty-fou del.
| egates who did not use beer than there were in
the republican crowd Of over one hundred who
do not use it.
No, We do not deny that beer was got In
Humboldt that day, and it shows poor judg.
ment for you to deny that beer was had in lola
on the day of the meeting of the republican
convention, for yOu know that 1t can be proven
that 1t was. And the proprietor of one OF Oul
hotels says he was never annoyed SO much in
his life as he was on that day by republicans
asking for beer, some even almost demanding
that he send out and get it for them.
| Now, Charley, when you attempt to paint
another picture, you should try to shade 1t NJ
a little with truth.
Charley, you have won your own medal, and
We expect to see You wear it with that grace
and dignity that becomes a boss political liar.
