A BLAMELESS LIFE.
A Non-partisan Opinion of Our Chief,
Clinton Il. Fisk.

Whatever comes of it politically, the
personal story of the life of Gen. Clinton
B. Fisk is good one to have disseminated
among all the people AS Miss Willard
says of him. 'If one boy born in obscurity
and poverty has hewn success out of these
difficult conditions, why may not another
do the same? If in the storm of tempta-
ton one untaught youth has carried in
his steadfast hand the lily of a blameless
life, so may others who are tempted as he
has been. On that lonesome backwoods
farm in Michigan, when he was a
little fellow without one fortunate
feature in his outlook, he deter
mined to get up and get on.
Some call this ambition, but its right
name is aspiration How heroic and full
of pathos is the picture of young Clinton
B. Fisk walking score of miles to get
another boy to tell him all he knew about
Latin. The general who went through
our civil war without uttering an oath; a
Christian who can be a brother to Pro-
testant and Catholic alike; the Sunday
school man who is welcomed at Grand
Army posts; the beloved friend of the
colored race; the steadfast defender of
the Indians; the favorite layman of the
Methodist church-these are few among
his titles.-Chicago Advance Qnd.)

Tho Israelitish Exodus,

Real reforms do not come by piecemeal
The children Of Israel did not leave Egypt
by counties, They organized party and
all went out together. If they had tried
the local option" plan they would never
have reached the promised land, but
would have continued in the Pharaoh
party, working at making bricks without
straw.-Southern Star

a Sad Snub.

On the whole, the worst snub yet ad-
ministered to Boutelle for his absurd
temperance and morality" (alias "catnip
tea') tag to the Republican platform is
given by the Rev. DR.. Storrs, when he
calls it "a general commonplace sentence
approving temperance and morality, to
which everybody outside of Jail or an
asylum must say amen"

South Carolina Won't Surrender.

The Prohibitionists in the Palmetto
state are still discussing and planning to
have an electoral ticket in the field. Their
resent defeat in the prohibition conven-
ton, that was captured by the Democrats
and run by them, has served only to in
tensify the determination of the stanch
foes of rum and rum politics to push their
cause. Interesting times are promised.

Activity in the Young Mems League
movement is rapidly increasing. Already
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Connecticut and Maryland are in line with
state organizations, and call is out for
convention for that purpose in New York.
Several other states have strong county
and local leagues and will soon perfect
state unions

What is there in the old parties to COM

Simply nothing except dead issues, and
young men viii not enter undera standard

The engagement OF Miss Vokes at the

cunious artist by being kept in the dark

young lady and her poor relation succeed
for time in ,nystifying the artist, and
make many amusing scenes in so doing.
The comedistts, "a Circus Rider" by Mrs.
Ohas. Doremus, introduced Miss Eokes, and
afforded her ample opportunities for the
display OF her many charming gifts as an
entertainer. Lord Weldon (Mr. Selton)
has planned to entrap famous circus
rider and compel her to aup with him In
his apartments. A sudden summons from
home leads him to delegate his friend,
Lord Merton (Courtenay Thorpe), to en-
terrain the lady until his return. By acCl-
dent Lsdy Grafton miss Vokes) arrives
unexpectedly, Is mistaken for the circus
young woman aud carries out the mis-.
taken identity by doing o bareback oct"

turns. The explanations made an ineyi-
