at previous meeting to secure the right Of
way and procure subscriptions, reported
that the right OF way had been granted by
owners of land along the proposed route,

tinue the work of securing subscriptions to
the bonds. The undertaking promises to

extent of country suffering for transporta-
ton facilities since the destruction of the

tirely consumed by fire on Thursday night
of last week, with two cows, five hundred
bushels of wheat unthreshed, reaper, mower
and two wagons that were in the building
death, but the teamster was painfully burn

ed in the early part of November two years
ago by incendiarism. No clue to the perpe-

is MARRIAGE A FAILURE ?-NG.

Dear to me- love- is the oil shady bower
Where the song bird once made its nest;
Where plucked and gave you one sweet lit
tie flower
Which you tendefly pinned on your breast.
The moss s-covered rock-our fivos ite old seat
By the cool spring under the II ee,
When 1 told you my love as sat at your feet ;
When you gave your own true heart to nee.
Across the bright stream ou- pledges we made
How well I mem ber 1t now
When your little hand in mine WAS then laid,
And we pledged 10 be true to each vow.
The flowers bloomed brighter th&t happy day,
And the bird song was sweeter 10 me
When we watched the twilight as 1t faded away
A bright morrow to bring, love, 10 thee.
The wind whispered softly as it PASSED by,
And the leaves heard the trlth that was
plighted,
And the light of true love then belmed in your
eye
From the lamp in } cur heart tha' was lighted,
Now many long years have since passed away
Since our love by the stream was first plight
ed;
Trials we have had since that harpy day;
Yet our hearts are still fondly uHfted.
Tell me not. skeptics. the heart dnes not feel
How strong are the pledges thea spoken
They stand strong and firm as mountain of
steel;
By the hand OF fate ne'er can be broken,

Sailing Butter.

Butter, as rule, is salted to the taste,
without weighing, but an ounce of pure
salt to every pound of butter is the
amount required The churning should
not be continued too long, When
the butter is in the granular state draw off
the buttermilk and wash with cold water
until it runs clear, then carefully stir in the
salt and press out the water without break
ing the grain of the butter.
The brinesalting process consists in
drawing off the buttermilk as soon as the
butter gets ioto the granular state and
washing out the buttermilk that still re-
mains with very cold water slightly salted;
then very strong, clear brine is poured on
it, in which it is soaked and stirred awhile
until sufficiently salt to suit the taste; then
the butter is taken ort and gently pressed
enough to cause the surplus water to run
off. While it is important to remove the
buttermilk as thoroughly as possible it is
equally SO to do it so as not to mash tha
grain of the 'outter or squeszs it into-a pas
ty mash while working it. A good deal of
| Judgment and experience are requisite for
determining when butter has been worked
Just enough, for it should not be worked
until it is nearly dry. No matter whether
dry salted or brine salted, a piece of good
butter when cut through with knife
should show two moist, clean cut surfaces
and without any sticky butter adhering to
the knife.

A NICE STATE OF THINGS.

Here's a state of things. now in this land of the
free,
Where the people are reckoned the rulers to be,
When s few men with money n the rest of us
say.
"If you want any sugar our price you must
pay,
For we've got up trust and bought the whole
lot,
And the rest of the people may all go to pot"
So the day will soon be here 1 really opine
When none but the rich can say sugar i'll
mine"
Here's nice state of things in this land of the
free,
When few money ed men say ID you and to
me,
"We've got up trust now in Kerosene oil.
And all you low fellows who labor and toll
Must buy it of us, and pay us our price.
Or go in the dark like the rats and the mice
SO in n est of our homes soon really opine
The old tallow dip or nothing will shine.
Here's a nice stateof things.I really must say,
When greedy m mouopolies carry the day,
And lock life's necessities, pocE ct the key,
And say "Go Without, or else buy of me-"
But the trusts" keep increasirg in numbers
away.
And the path of the poor man grows rougher
each day,
The next thing may be matrimonial trusts
When we wed we m ust "see' them and down
with the dust"
But there's ominous mutterings over the land
And the wings of our eagles beg to expand =;
There's look in his eyes that bodies no good
To the harpies that gamble in roor peoples
food
For this is land for the poor and oppressed,
Where the true honest toiler is as good as the
rest.
And each hated trust" will die very dead
When the American eagle swoops down on its
head.

His Last Request.
WHAT AN INEBRIATED SON OF ERIN ASKED
HIS WIFE TO DO,


HIS WIFE TO DO.
81 heard story on an Irishman the
other day which l think is new," said
friend at the club. "This Irishman was in
the habit of going home drunk every night
of his life aud beating his poor wife Biddy
in the good OLD fashion. He didn't lick
her because he disiked her or wanted to
punish her, but just because he thought it
the proper thing to do. Finally, however,
the patient woman could stand it no longer
and appealed to the priest. The reverend
father went to her home that evening and
waited for Pat. He came, drunk as usual,
and the good priest took him in hand.
pat says he, you are drunk
'Yis, your riverince, says Pat, Pm
feelin purity good
"'Well, how long is this goip' to con-
tinue, I'd like to know?'
"'Jist as long as 1 kin git dhrop of
the creatur,' says Pat Il can't stop
dhrinkin."
"'Now, see here, Pat" says the good
father, I'll tell you what. You'll stop
this right here tonight. If you ever get
drunk again I'll turn ye into a rst-d'ye
mind that? If / don't see ye I'll know
about it jist the same whether ye git drunk
or not, and if ye do get drunk, into a rat
ye &C. Now remember that-there's a
good man.
"The priest went away and Pat was
docile that night; but the next night when
he came home and kicked open the door
one glance showed Biddy that he was
loaded to the hat. She gauged his Jag at
once and saw that he was in fighting trim,
so she lodged behind the table in an atti-
tude of defense.
"'Don't be afraid, darling said Pat, in
a subdued key, as he steadied himself be-
fore dropping into chair, Pm not goin'
to bate you this night I'm not goin' to
lay the weight of me finger on ye. I want
ye to be kind to me tonight, darlin, and
TO remember, if ye kin, the days when we
was swatehearts, and when l was always
kind to ye ed ye loved NE. Ye know his
riveTince was here last night, and he tould
me If / iver got drunk again he'd turn me
into rat. I'm dhrunk this mint, darlin.'
The praste didn't see me, but he knows
Pm drunk, and this night into rat | go.
I want ye to be kind to me, dlrlin,' and
watch me, and when ye see me gittin'
little, and the hair grown' out on me, an
me whiskers gittin' long, for Gods sake

TenByson Interviewed.
SOME POETRY OF HIS WHICH SENATOR TABOR
THOUGHT REAL GOOD.

SOME POETRY OF HIS WHICH SENATOR TABOR
THOUGHT REAL GOOD.
Having returned from three months
tour in Europe, old ex-senator Tabor, of
Colorado is reeking with recitals of inter-
esting experiences. Barring tho trivial cir
cumstauce that they quarantined against
him in Scandinavia under the erroneous i'm
preston that he was Mormon proselyter,
there was nothing. to use the words of our
society reporter, to mar the harmony of the
occasion. While he was in Italy the sena-
tor tried to buy some of the pictures and
statuary he saw in the Vatican, and mas
much as he offered very liberal prices he
thinks that the proprietor made a mistake
in not selling. Travelling from Edinburgh
to London, Senator Tabor met a very
charming gentleman named Alfred Tenny-
son; suspicioned that he was a newspaper
man, because he was so well posted, and
this suspicion was confirmed when Mr.
Tennyson recited a number of poems, which
he assured the senator were original.
'It's wonder to me-" said the senator,
'that you don't print some of them poems."
Mr. TeDnysou made no answer, but he
looked rather surprised.
"Oh. l mean it." said the senator. sI
know poetry when see it-I sat next to
John ingalls, in the senate chamber for
three months, and moreover I run The
Leadville Herald for two years. There are
four things in this world that I'm cynosure
on, and they are mining property, diamonds,
ruffed night shirts and poetry. Now I'll
stake my reputation that some of them
poems of yours are good deal above the
average-particularly that one you recited
abont the crick'
'You like The Brooke"
eyes; and that other one about Maud
and the garden; they've got the right ring
they're full of the divine inflatus.''
Mr.. Tennyson didn't say much, bat the
senator (who likes to encourage struggling
talent) assured him that if ever he wanted
to print his poems IN book form he could
get check covering the expense simply by
addressing Ii. A w. Tabor at Denver.
The senator did not think very much of
Westminster Abbey; he objected to the air
of snobbishness which obtained there. He
ran out to Stratford-upon-A Avon for a day
and placed $40 bouquet upon Shakes
peare's tomb. He sought in vain to learn
aught of the whereabouts and condition of
the play -wright's family; wanted to do
something for them if they were needy.
Had contributed to the BARLEY Campbell
fund, and as Shakespeare's pieces had also
been played in his Denver opera house be

the dead authors widow and children in
case they were hard up.-EugeRe Field az

DIR. TALMAeE's SERMON SUNDAY, JULY %.

ST: PAUL, MINI, July 2o.-ihe Rev. L.
De witt Talmage, % OF Brooklyn,
N. :, preached In THIS city to-day. Ills
subject was "Ihe earthquake, and be
took for his text: "belleve on the Lord
Jesus Christ ana thou snail be saved. "
Acts XVI, 81. Inc sermon was as follows'
Jails are dark, dull, damp, loathsome
places even now; out they were worse IN
the apostolic times. | imagine to-day we
are standing in the Phlllipian dungeon.
DO you not feel the chill? Doyou not hear
the groan OF those incarcerated ones who for
ten years have not seen the sunlight, and
the deep sigh of women who remember
their fathers house and mourn over their
wasted estate? Listen again. 1t is the
cough of consumptive, or the struggle OF
one in the nightmare ofa great horror.
You listen again and hear culprit, his
chains rattling as he rolls over in his dreams,
and you say, "God pity the prisoner But
there is another sound in that prison. 1t
is song of JOY ard gladness. What place
to sing in! The music comes winding
thl ough the corridors of the prison, and in
all the dark wards the whisper is beard:
"What's that? What's that?"
It is the song of Paul and Silas. They
cannot sleep. They have been whipped,
very badly whipped. The long gashes on
their backs are bleeding yet They lie fiat
on the cold ground, their feet in wooden
sockets, and of course they cannot sleep
But they can sing. Jailer, what are you
doing with these people? Why have they
been put in here? Oh, they have been try
ing to make the world better. Is that all?
That is all. A pit for Joseph A lions
cave for Daniel. A blazing furnace for
Shadrneh. Clubs for John Wesley. An
Anathema for Philip Melancthon. A dun
geon for Paul and Silas. But while welfare
standing in the gloom of the Philippian
dungeon, and we hear the mingling voices
of sob and groan and blasphemy ard halle
lujah, suddenly an eartbquakel The iron
bars of the prison twist, the pillars crack
off, the solid masonry begins to heave and
al! the doors swing open. The jailer, feel
ing himself responsible for these prisoners,
and believing, in his pagan ignorance, sui
eide to be honorable-since B'utus killed
himself, ard Cato killed himself, and Cas-
sius killed himself-puts his sword to his
own heart, proposing with one strong. keen
thrust to put an end to his excitement and
agitation. But Paul cries out: "Stop!
Stop! Do thyself no harm. We are all
bere." Then l see the Jailef running
through the dust and amid the ruin OF that
prison, and see nlm throwing himself

He KNEw.-A teacher was telling her
little boys about temptation, and showing
how it sometimes came in the most attrac-
tive attire. She used as an illustration the
paw of a cat.
"Now," said she, ''you have all seen the
paw of a cat. 1t is as soft as velvet, isn't
|it?''
"Yesem," from the class.
"And you have seen the paw OF dog ?''
"Yesem."
"Well, although the cats paw seems like
velvet, there ia, nevertheless, concealed in
it something that hurts. What is it?"
No answer
"The dog bites" said the teacher, "wheu
he is in anger; but what does the cat do?"
Scratches" replied the boy.
"Correct," said the teacher, nodding her
head approvingly. "Now, what has the
cat got that the dog hasn't"

and the litter that run around the class
