o SENTIMENTAL"

Robbing Life Of the Beauty Which Is in
the Expression of Love
Mrs. Harden blew the horn for break
fast at . o'clock. Her husband came in
from the barn and her son from the gar
den, where he had been digging since
dawn. The Hardens were thrifty far
mers, sober, hard working, God fearing
folk. They were healthy and prosper
GUS; they ought to have beer happy, but
they gathered about the table silently,
even without giving each other n recog-
nizing smile.
1t was n raw, cold morning. Mrs.
Harden had been up since 3 o'clock to
make certain dishes because her husband
liked them. He thought, n he ate them
now, that mothers biscuit were even
crisper :han usual and her chops done to
n turn; but he did not tell her so.
Cely, the daughter, who had been at
work in the dairy, came in just as the
others were finishing their meal. She
nodded and they nodded to her, but no
one smiled or spoke. Her mother had
put away her breakfast to keep it warm,
and as she set it before the girl she felt
rs if she would like to stroke her head
or kiss her, as she used to do when she
was n baby; but such demonstrations
were sentimental" and sentiment to n
Harden was only another word for silli-
ness.
Tom Harden was an industrious lad,
whose thought and ambition were bound
ed by the farm. His father, the day be-
fore, had heard some influential men Of
h county declare hat Toms calves
were the latest brought to market, and
his apples the soundest and most care
fully packed. He knew that such praise
would delight the boy, and wished that
he could hear it; but he could not bring
himself to repeat it.
When breakfast was over the men
started for n distant part of the farm, not
to return until night. Cely, as she packed
her fathers dinner, felt a wrench of pity
Mt her heart for the old man. He was
old and weak; he had worked for his
children so faithfully and longi If he
could but rest nowl She would have
liked to put her arms around him and
tell him this.
Instead of doing so she carefully packed
the basket, saying: "There's the beef and
the bread and the pic and the bottle of
water. That's ALL"
All; but the word of tenderness, the
loving touch which would have cheered
and sweetened the days labor for the
old mani
Too many Hardens are 10 be found
upon our New England and middle state
farms. rs well as in our Villages and
towns. They arc often the descendants
of men who fed from persecution and
wrested their living by hard labor from
n savage wilderness, and thus learned to
value only the rugged virtue of truth and
endurance and to despise the lesser chart
ties, the amenities and courtesies of life.
The present generation has inherited
their grim, unpleasant virtues.
Never be afraid TO brighten the life of
your friend or neighbor by praise or love,
provided the praise and love are true.
God has made nothing for use without
giving it an additional touch of grace
and beauty. The hardest rock, seen
through tho microscope, has its exquisite
tints and lines.
Why should we strive to rob our lives
of hat harmony and beauty which is the
expression of tho love that comes from
him?-Youth's Companion.

THE RTATyOM.

If General Crook and the commission
ers who are dealing with the Sioux sue
coed in making final arrangements with
them, the result will be to throw open for
settlement IL 900, 900 acres of land says
the Salt Lake Tribune. The reservation
is bounded on the south by the Missouri
and Cheyenne rivers, and the White
river. fed by numerous smaller streams,
flows through the whole breadth of it.
Transfers and station men familiar with
the region declare that it is the garden of
Dakota. But supposing that ouly half is
good soil, there is still room for
$1,000 families, giving each a tract Of
100 acres OF land with an average of five
persons in each family, there is room for
nearly 100000 people, or enough Tor a
state. Should enough Indians sign to

The Governors Message.

The message of Governor h. Willis
Wilson to the West Virginia Legisla-
ture was completed several days ago,
and was read to the Legislature on
Wednesday. Governor Wilson takes
strong ground against electoral cor
ruption and condemns the managers
of the Republican campaign in the
strongest terms possible. He discusses
the danger to our form OF government
as the result of corrupt elections, and
saws further reproach has been cast
upon the State as never before by
illegal, fraudulent and corrupt voting
in almost everycounty inlts boundary.
This is so nefarious as to admit OF no
question. The vote of 1884, after the
most active political campaign ever
made in the State, was l37 1857. The
capitations in 1888 were l47, 4OS, and
the entire vote was l59, 440. This
shows an increase in the vote in four
wears of 21,Sj3, which, if legitimate,
would indicate a population of 900, 600,
an increase in four years of over 100, 900.
1t is certain, the Governor says, no
such increase has taken place. This
shows that while capitations Increased
IA O65 the entire vote increased 81 ,So3.
The capitations are correct, and fur
nish conclusive proof that nearly
5000 illegal votes were cast. The
message recommends that a registra-
ton law be enacted, and that the cleo
ton laws of the State be so amended
that bribery and fraudulent voting
NAV be prevented and the purity of
the ballot be preserved. 1t is further
recommended that false registering,
voting, bribery or abetting bribery,
attempting to prevent any man from
voting by giving or offering to give
anything OF value, or any shift TO
escape the registration and election
laws, shall be made felonious crimes.
ANY person, whether implicated or
not, snail be compelled to testify con-
corning such offenses, and no statute
of Limitation shall bar prosecution.
The balance of the message is devoted
to the corruption and use of money
in the election of candidates for pub
lie Offices or trusts, by combinations
to Cypress people and enrich few
railroads, discriminating in freight
and passenger charges and the Gus
tom of giving railroad passes to pub
lie officers and to political conven-
tons. Very forcible language is used,
and the whole makes u strong State
document. Governor Wilson will
issue supplemental message within
two weeks, as the State officers have
no reports completed.

NOW IS THE TIME TO STICK.

The exceeding smallness OF the Dem
ocratic majority in the West Virginia
Legislature does not leave room for
the slightest detection from Demo
cratic principles and usages if this
party is to return United States Sen
ator. The man who this time counts
himself bigger than his party will
defeat his party. The Democrats to
be successful must be a unit. Abso-
lutte fealty to party interests by every
member of the Legislature is required
The slightest dissatisfaction will cause
the election of Republican Senator,
hence the policy and purpose of the
Republicans is to create a breach in
the ranks of their opponents-even
though it be ever so small-at this
particular time. The Republicans are
the best politicians in the world, so it
behooves every Democrat TO be on
his guard to prevent himself or his
party from being tricked.
Those members OF the Legislature
who are Democrats were elected by
the Democratic party. That party,
therefore, has great claims upon them,
and has right to demand that per-
sonal inclinations or desires shall be
sunk out of sight for the good of party,
Those who accepted nominations
from and were elected by the Democ-
racy should yield entirely in party
matters to the will of the majority.
If they do not they are recreant to
their trusts, they will betray their
party, and they will deserve the re-
ward of treachery at the hands OF
their outraged constituents.
As before remarked, absolute fealty
to party interests is now the duty of
all Democrats.
And no one who sticks to the prin-
ciples of Democracy will eyer go very
far wrong.

A Billy Goat Captures a Train.

A dispatch from Laramie City, Wyo-
ming, says: The overland fast freight
train on the Union Pacific Road
Sunday brought in the mangled body
of James Sumner, a brakeman, who
had been thrown from the top of the
train by goat while the train was at
u high rate of speed. The animal be
longed TO theatrical company, and
got on the train at Cheyenne, it is
supposed from a. low shed adjoining
the water tank. After the train left
Cheyenne the goat chewed the bell
cord while, and then drove two of
the brakemen to the caboose, where
they remained in mortal terror, be-
lieving the animal was wildcat
Sumner was on the front of the train,
and had not seen the goat until the
latter rushed at him full tilt. In the
darkness he staggered, lost his bal
ance and fell from the top. His COM
panion, peering over the top of the
car, saw his lamp go out. The train
was stopped as soon as possible and
run back. Summers body was found
lying beside the track. His neck had
been broken. A cowboy lassoed the
goat when the train arrived here,
and the coroner ordered him to the
pound pending the inquest"
