some selected subject or to read some
instructive article at every meeting.

the State organization is perfected.
NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
Mr.. Redfearn says that the Alliance
has nothing to do with politics. 1t is
not in any sense apolitic;Il organization.
1t will take no part in any political
movements. Its members as good cit
zens will take u lively personal interest
in all matters that pertain to the in
terest of the State, but the Alliance will
not be entangled in any political conf
binations. No doubt the influence of
the Alliance Will be felt, but it will be
only as the influence of the Masons,
the various churches, &C., is now felt.
In any contest where Office is sought by
an Alliance man and a Non-Alliance
man, other things being equal, there is
not much doubt that the members of
the Alliance will vote for the Alliance
man. Tie Alliance will take no action
in the matter, and every member will
be left free to vote just as he secs fit !;
but fraternal spirit will prompt many
to vote for their brother, whom they
recognize rs the equal of his competitor
in every respect.
THE RICH HELPING THE POOR.
DR.. D. c. TillElan, who is one of the
most prominent organizers in the Order:
is here prepared for work. He has been
at work for some time in organizing sub
alliances, and has just succeeded in
forming county alliances in Marion and
Darlington, where he has enlisted the
support of the best farmers. He was
largely instrumental in organizing
North Carolina, and feels sure that the
same success will attend his efforts here
that. did there. DR.. Tillman says that
the Alliance is not like the Grange in
some important and material respects.
The Alliance has no coercion of its men,
bers; but it's combinations are for mu-
tual benefit. The Alliance compels no
member to 60 security for q brother
member. 1t helps the weak without
placing the strong in danger. BY stand
ing together and trading at the same
store, the rich help the poor. The mer-
chant is glad to take the trade of the
poor small farmer in order to get the
fine trade Of the rich planter. The
trade of farmer who will need 500
worth of supplies is small matter, but
when it becomes stepping stone to the
trade CT dozen farmers who will want
$1,000 in supplies, it becomes matter
of some consequence. In that way the
rich help the poor without running any
risk themselves.

Not Pig Tight.
IBoston Herald.l

In Providence the other day they
were setting some very tall poles for
the telephone wires-seyenty-focters.
A countryman came along and asked
the foreman what his men were doing.
Now, the foreman Of that particular
gang is mild-mannered citizen and
means to be patient and forbearing, but
hei worried good deal with questions
and gets tired of answering them. In
this particular case be told the country
man that he was building a wire fence.
SIS that So" said the farmer, looking
aloft, and then added: "Nell, l guess
you've got it bull high, but don't be-
lieve you can make it pig tight" That
foreman has been very shy Of Rhode
Island farmers ever since.

CAN 1T BE so BAD?
Editor Labouchere's Terrible Charges
Against English Society.

Editor Labouchere, in the last issue
of his paper, the London Truth, says:
"When women, once chivalrously
honorcd for their natural tenderness
and fine feeling, push and scramble into
the lowest police courts or the most
crowded halls ofjustice to gaze on some
notorious criminal, preferably of their
own sex; when, without blush or
tremor, they raise their opera glasses to
gloat on the livid countenances Of men
and women trembling atthe moment
of the sentence of death when women,
young and old, apparently innocent
and ostentatiouSly depraved, are IA
miliar with the details of every gross
divorce scandal, and do not hesitate to
fiaunt themselves in their fine feathers
in prominent positions when counsel
and judges are, to their disgust,
discussing subjects and sitting de-
tails that make decent men almost sick
with shame; when We hear of young
girls listening to questionable anecdotes
from depraved men, and familiar with
crime so revolving and human frailties
so appalling that, not twenty years
ago, they were held to be unmention-
able, even in the society Of the loosest
men; when we have in evidence
the eXisrence of abominable bookshops
with back parlors where women of all
ages assemble to familiarize them
selves with the grossest form of French
literature, translated and in the origi-
nal, and to cast an admiring gaze on
so-called classical pictures; when the
familiarities practiced at middle-class
dances nowadays and in so-called re-
spectable society are said on trust
worthy evidence to be so shameless as
to discuss their mothers frailty, and
mothers wink at their daughters licen-
tiousness, the question naturally arises
how far the advance of high civiliza-
tion or culture whatever it may be
called, differs from the classic times
when women feasted on the revolving
scenes in the Roman arena, and when
the soft and caressing success of hyper
sensitive sensuality received its crack ot
doom in the destruction of Pompeii anG
Herculaneum.'

Fourteen Husbands, all Living.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch. ]

Mexican county's record breaker is
she, and her experience in the "silken
bonds of matrimony" would fill book
as big as a dictionary. She lives in
Smithport, the county seat of this
county, and is known as Mrs. Ida
Hoosted. Her chief attraction is her
Juno like form. She is tall and mag
nifcently proportioned, and looks as if
the winds of thirty-eight winters, more
or less, might have toyed with her
abundant dark-brown tresses. When
scarcely out Of her short dresses she
contracted her first marriage. She has
been after men ever since, and is now
living with husband No. Ii. The other
thirteen husbands are all in the flesh,
and all are on good terms with the mar
rying woman. She has been legally
separated from all her alliances, and
was only married a few months ago to
No. II.

PRICE $3.50 A YEAR
a PIG AND A WAR.
How Riotous Porker Brought On the War
of 1912.
From st. Nicholas for July.

FROM 81. NlcnOlaS Tor July.
1t all happened in this wise: Two
citizens Of Providence, r. l., fell into u
most unseemly discussion on account
Of the lawless trespassings Of Il pig
owned b. one octhem. The aggrieved
party possessed Il very fine garden, in
which it was has custom to spend his
hours Of leisure, wedding, grating and
transplanting the flowers and vegeta-
bles in which he delighted. But often,
as he entered his garden in the evening,
his ears would be saluted with grunt
and a rustic, and the fat form of his
neighbor's pig might be seen making
hasty fight from the garden, in which
it had been placidly roofing all day.
Repeated misdeeds on the part of the
pig famed the smouldering fires Of dis
sension into the flames Of open hostili-
ty. At last the crisis came. The owner
of the garden, rising unusually early
one morning, discovered the pig con-
tentedly munching the last of fine
bed Of tulip-bulhs. Flesh and blood
could stand it no longer. Selling
pitchfork, which lay near at hand, the
outraged gardener plunged its sharp
times into the hopeless pig, and bore
the body, thus fatally impaled, to the
sty, where it met the gaze of its owner
an hour or two later. Thereafter it was
war to the knife between the two neigh
bors.
Now, what had all this to do with
the war Of 1872? The answer is simple.
The two neighbors belonged to the
political party known as the federalists.
Through all the outrages that Great
Britain inflicted upon the eUnited States;
while seamen were being impressed,
American vessels stopped on the high
seas, and while every possible indignity
was being committed against the flag
fthe United States, the federalisls re-
manned friendly to Great Britain, and
contested every proposition for the
declaration of war.
But the democratic party was eager
for war, and as British opposition be-
came more unbearable the strength Of
the democrats increased. It so hap
pened that the election district in which
the two neighbors lived had been about
equally divided between democrats and
federalists, but the latter party had
always succeeded in carrying the cleo
ton. But in 1911 the owner of the gar
den was a candidate for the legislature
on the federalist ticket. His neighbor
had atwaysvoted that ticket; bat now,
with his mind filled with bitter recol-
lections of the death of his pig, he cast
his ballot for the democratic candidate.
When the ballots were counted the
democrat was found to be elected by I.
majority Of one.
When the newly elected legislator
took his seat, his first duty was to vote
for a United States senator. He cast
his vote for the candidate Of the demo-
Gratis, who was also elected by a ma
iority of one When the senator took
his place in the United States senate he
found the question of war with Great
Britain pending, and after long and
bitter discussion it came to a vote. The
democrats voted for war, and the feder-
alists against it. AS a result Of the
voting, war was declared-again, by 4
majority of one vote.

dence was given In the Bauereisen trial yes

joined the Brotherhood OF Fireman short
time previous to the Burlington strike. Ho
testified that the defendant hired him with
Bowles to blow up the residences Of General

also proposed TO the witness to throw dyna-
mite cartridge into the engine tanks so the
flremen woul, shovel them with the coal

agitated. Bauereisen smiled contemptuously
as the informer unraveled the plot.
