INTERESTING LETTER FROM
THE WEST.
LUCIA, CASTOR Co., N. c.,
Anp IL 1898

1AuS.Ac, 1ooo.
EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Sw:-It has
been a long time since I have written
anything for the critical eyes of the
reading public, and would not attempt
it now had not our Alliance, River
Bend, No. -, seen fit to make me
their correspondent, an honor [ think
l appreciate.
We were organized last December,
with seven charter members. Have
grown slowly and steadily and have,
at this time, about thirty in our band,
mostly young men. The older heads
seem to fear that it is some kind of a
scheme %concocted by sharpers for the
sole purpose Of dipping the farmers
out of their hard earnings. That the
farmer is imposed upon, by almost all
other classes of men, they do not
deny, but they have had their necks
in the yoke so long they fear to take
it out. Now we have no complaint
to make against any one, or any class
of men, but we do claim that the
farmer, he being the great driving
wheel of all others, may, or more
strictly speaking can better himself
by unity of purpose, and we know of
no better way than through the Ali
inc
AS above stated, we are mostly
young men, without the necessary
business experience to make rapid
strides in anything undertaken; but
we have the determination to be
patient and watchful, and by carefully
laid plans, we will be able to do some
good for ourselves and our fellow
farmers after awhile.
Owing to causes unavoidable by
our Alliance, we have not had a full
turnout since the call was made for
aid to our State Business Agency, and
we have only been able to raise a
small amount. Hope in the near
future, as soon as the brethren more
fully understand the intentions of the
State Business Agency, to be able to
make a much better showing. Z
We think the plan for the control
of this fund, advanced by your cor
respondent from Castalia Alliance, No.
454, a good one, not that we have not
the utmost confidence in our State
Agent, but for the reasons set forth
by said correspondent, besides a much
larger amount could be raised as every
one likes to have his money as neal
home as possible, and this being e
departure for the farmer, he is natur-
ally going to be very cautions.
We well know that if we accom-
plish anything, from a financial point
of view, we must unite on some plan,
and we are ready to put our shoulders
to the wheel and help push our COM
mon cause on and upwards to perma-
nent success:
Hoping to be able to get up some
thing more interesting next time, l
am, RIVER BENDS Coz.

HShOOt the Slangist.,s

A large number of Chicago girls met one
evening last week for the urpose of FORM
ing Ladies' Anti-Slang Society,"" The
meeting was called to order, and Miss Sadie
De Pork was elected president. Before
taking her seat. she said in a clear, calm,
well-mOdulated voice:
Really. girls, l AN too badly ratified by
the honor conferred upon me to give you
much of my CUFF. It's the first time l ever
tumbled into anything of this sort, and l

Need More Practice.

The prison choir is composed of five male in
mates. all of whom are good singers, but they are
in need of practice. We have refrained from COM
ment or suggestion on this subject, thinking each
Sabbath the necessary improvement would be
made, but as we know of no easier means Of each.
ing all concerned, we will venture to suggest that
great improvement can be made by paying more
attention to practice, position, manner of holding
books, and having better understanding with the
ofhcers-when and how each selection shall be
rendered. These details count, and the slight de-
fects can be easily renedied

Sunday Services.

AT the beginning OF the services Sabbath morn.
ing Rev. Albert announced that the song service
by the prison choir would occupy the greater part
of the time. He then read passages from the
bible which was followed by d number of appro-
pirate selections by the choir. and juvenile trio
composed of Alma and Rebecca Westby and
James Tough.
The brief address of the chaplain was upon the
bible as it stands to-day among the christian ma
tions of the world. He said THE bible is said
to be losing ground. especially the Old Testament,
but close examination of the sentiment opposing
it, reveals the fact that the opinions of few men
are accepted as the voice of the people. What a
few may say upon so important subject comes to
us in many different ways that we ACCEPT the
opinions of g few as the voice Of many
He then called attention to tho five passages OF
scripture. showing connected idea. unity of
purpose running throughout the Old Testament,
and covering period of more than two thousand
years. The first is in Genesis, iii. Is. This is the
curse of God upon mankind, and marks the begin
ming of the conflict with evil. The next is the
curse of Noah upon one of his sons and his bless
ing pronounced upon the other two. and the proph-
ecy The third the blessing of Abraham, and
fourth, of Isaiah. The fifth is found in Malachi
iii. l. Behold, will send my messenger" etc.
After briefly tracing the history of the principal
nations of the earth, showing their progress to be
in accord with these prophecies, he closed his ad
dress by asking. whence came these five passa-
ges? At the close of the address the choir rem
dered a number of selections from the Gospel
Hymns and Gospel Choir"

The Fate of the Good Little Boy.

The Fate of the Good Little Boy.
Editor Mirror:
| The most casual observer cannot have
ty escape punishment and often prosper,
while the good are punished. The rain
does not fall equally on the just and the I'M
! just, for when it begins to rain the just first
discover that the unjust have walked off
with the umbrella.
In illustration of how the ninety and nine
guilty escape while the innocent are pun
iShed, will give your readers little story
that was told me sometime ago and which
always carries my memory back to my
youthful days, and freshness of youth, and
I think
| when we are getting along in years,
And the more of the world see.
1t almost makes weep to think
How fresh we used to be-
Before a large school building stood big
cart to which was attached small enact
ated donkey. The driver had just gone in
to neighborng Glove dispensary to Stake
his thirst. All at once an avalanche of
boys OoZed out of the building. They
gathered around the sad-faced donkey, and
sought to cheer him up and apparently took
great interest in his sOrrowful surroundings.
While one Of them twisted his tail until the
bark loosened, another kindly sQuirted to-
bacco juice into his weak eyes.
While the boys were devising some new
attractions, the concierge of the animal
emerged from the saloon with wild snort
of rage and cOpiOus hemOrage of --.
He sought to join them in their little sport
i've wiles. but they had already dispersed to
their respective homes with the exception
of ''one'' good little boy. He had lad
nOthiug to do with the crueltieS laviShed OH
the poor animal; he was innocence person
flied.
But the business manager of the donkey
cart wouldn't have it that way. .:
He rushed at the guilteSS youth and ''fOr
the time being they seemed to blend. then
they slowly drifted apart, leaving the boy
in an inverted position and in a wrecked
condition. Like the gospel he was spread
all over mother earth. Pulling himself to-
gether he slowly wendell his way home
ward and expected bliss, but imagine his
disappointment on his arrival.
The family were at supper. The old man
took in the situation at glance. ''Ah, ha.
been trying to ride a bicycle again! I'll teach
YOU" and the old man grasped him by the
slack of his trousers
Once more the poor boy mingled with an
eXaSperated man. Father and son were
locked in warm embrace. and while the
neighbors supposed Johnnie's mother was
pounding beefsteak for supper the bad boys
were at their homes ION D) eating jam and
toast. .- -..-
Thus it often happens in this unjust
world that while the wicked flourish. the
good discover that the CREASED pole" of
success is lavishly fabricated with the Shiny
Olemargarine of c0ntumely, or is bristling
with the sharp spIinters of adversely. But

DR.. BERGMAN,

The portrait of DR.. Bergman, the
eminent German physician who was
in attendance upon the Emperor
Frederick during his illness, appears
OPPORTUNITY with news cabled to the
New York Herald. the enterprising
newspaper gave III advance OF its pub
LEGATION comprehensive review, with
cOpiOus extracts, of Sir IOrell Mae
kenZie's defense of his special treat
ment of the Kaiser. Later it inter
viewed Dr. Bergman on the English
doctors book, elicitIng very interest
ing matter.
The doctor explained that when the
Emperor Frederick died the minister
of the royal household asked the Ger
man doctors to publish the reports
made by them during the emperOr's
illness. This is now the German doc
tors report came to be published.
With regard to the charges, amount
ing to malpractice, that Mackenzie
says were brought against him by the
German doctors pamphlet, the Ger
man physicians do not hesitate in say
ing that Mackenzie's treatment of the
emperor did amount to malpractice,
inasmuch as both diagnosis and treat
ment displayed gross ignorance OF
medicine in general. DR.. Bergman
claims that NirchOw's postmortem
clearly established the fact that
TobOld, Gerhardt and he had all been
quite correct i'm their diagnosis Of the
emperor's malady. He says that had
an operation been made on the Crown
Prince in May. 1857, as he wished, his
majesty, Frederick the Ill. might
have just as well as nOC been alive
now. Science shows that every can
Ger that is small and operated upon
in time can be permanently removed,
but if the cancer becomes large, the
operation mus fail. Il was entirely
Mackcnzie's fault, he says, chat the
operation was delayed until the small
| cancer had grown inrO a large
one. DR.. Bergman alleges that
he. as well as his German
colleagues. noticed the growth
| of the cancer from weak to week,
| while Dr.. Mackenzie failed TO notice
| the fact until it vas too lake. In re
