kota, tho excess OF tho monthly moan
temperature ranging from 90 TO So over
the entire country east OF the Mississippi
and In the southwest. IL has been slightly
cooler than usual on the Pacific coast
and from 90 to ZOE colder In Montana
and northwestern Dakota. Although the
mean temperature OF the month was gen.
orally above the normal over the eastern
half OF the country, the month closed with
one OF the coolest days OF the season over
the greater portion Of the winter wheat
region aud the gulf States. The freezing
weather which prevails this morning over
this region, taken In connection with tho
advanced condition OF vegetation, may re-
suit In some injury TO crops, and especial
ly TO fruit. Ample notice was given In
tho threatened districts of tho approach
OF this cold wave, and frost warnings were
Issued TO localities I'm tho southern States
whore growing crops were likely to be In
jured. AS In previous months, the num-
Der OF cold waves Of general extent and
marked intensity have been limited, only
two having occurred, while five of lesser
extent and severity have been reported.
There has been an excess of rainfall In
the Ohio and central Mississippi val
leys, the lower lake region, and in tho in
terror of the Atlantic States. Rainfall al
so continues In excess in northern and
central California, Oregon, and Washing
ton. The heavy rains In the valley OF the
Ohio and It's tributaries have been attend
cd by destructive floods, and the water in
the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers has
probably not reached its maximum height
at this date. There has been less rain
than usual throughout the Atlantic and
gulf States and generally throughout the
northwest and New England. The ground
was covered with snow at the close Of the
month In Wisconsin, northern Illinois,

from 80 inches at Marquette, and 80 inch
es at Green Bay, to 5 inches over Mime.

from to inches over the remaining por-

Farmers of Alpena county. are you
wise when you give a large part Of
your earnings to enable the manufact-
urers Of Pennsylvania and the eastern
States to make large proftsY If they
are entitled to have the privilege OF
imposing taxes on you, why should not
you have the privilege of taxing them
for your sole benefit? To be on equal
terms with them you should receive a
bonus for every acre you cultivate,
and every bushel Of grain you grow,

in his church. There are two thou

prising books of reference-and ac-
cessible to all members of the con-
gregation. The best magazines and
papers in the nation are on file, and
the church is open every night in the
week. This is as it should be. We
have had saloons open and churches
closed long enough.-Ex.

Drinking a Farm.

My homeless friend with the chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring up
the sugar in the ten-cent glass of gin,
let me give you fact to wash it down
with it. You say you have longed
for years for the free, independent
life of the farmer, but have never
been able to get enough money to-
gether to buy farm. But this is
just where you are mistaken. For
seveu years you have been drinking
good improved farm at the rate of
hundred square feet at gulp. If
you doubt this statement, figure it
out yourself An acre of land con-
tains 1860 square feet. Estimating,
for convenience, the land at 1886
per acre, you will see that it brings
the land to one mill per square foot,
one cent for ten square feet. Now
pour down the fiery dose and imagine
you are swallowing strawberry
patch. Call in five of your friends
and have them help you gulp down
5OO-foot garden. Get on prolonged
spree some doy, and see how long
time it requires to swallow pasture
large enough to feed COW. Put
down that glass of gin; there is dirt
in it-l00 square feet of good, rich
dirt, worth $43.56 per acre.-Bob
Burdette.

We are tired of seeing the prisons
and reformatory institutions of the
land filled with the victims of intern
perance; of witnessing insane asy-
lums overcrowded from the blighting
effects of strong drink; of having
the youth corrupted by the tempta-
tions of the low saloons that dis
grace our large cities and towns; of
noting the vast army of drunkard's
orphans crowding into our asylums,
until we turn weary and sick at heart.

The sermon delivered by the Rev..
Thos. M. G. Birmingham at the
Eighth-street M. E. church recently,
was full of facts, such as the people
need to hear. If all voters could
hear this earnest man and study his
book on "National Salvation" the
politics of the State and Nation would
be vastly improved.
His hearers were greatly pleased

Convention Notes.

The convention will commence

From JudSonia.

JUDsoNIA, ARK, April 9, $780,
Editor of Woman's Chronicle:
Thinking the dear white ribbon
women would like to know something
of our work here, and knowing the
columns of The CHRONICLE are open
for us to transmit news and our work
one to the other, l will send few
words for the encouragement of the
sisters.
We held our annual election the
first Wednesday of this month. For
president we were very fortunate in
electing Mrs. S. L. Titus; CORE
spending secretary, Mrs. A. r.
Kinney; recording secretary, Miss
Eva Hurlbert; treasurer, Mrs. Mum
ger. With this class of leaders we
hope in the coming year, as
in the past four, to keep up the
war against King Alcohol, and we
have an l.. T. L. whose leader is the
tireless Mrs. T. A. Dunlap. But |
will not tell you much about this, for
you will surely hear from our Legion
at the State convention.
We have had Sister S. X. Hart with
us for the last four days. She deliv-
cred the address at our Union tenn
perance meeting last Sabbath night.
She was greeted with very large
audience, and believe every one
went home feeling that it was good
to be there. If such a thing were
possible, she outdid herself Her
lecture was, to say the least, i'm
mense. May the Lord spare her life
and give her strength, and may we
all endeavor in every way possible to
keep her in the work.
We would like to hear from the
sisters over the State through this
paper. What is to hinder?

and Minnie would be seen hand in
hand with baskets full of flowers 60
ing homeward.
Nobody ever spoke to them or dis
turbed them, and they were very
merry together. Minnie would gather
great punches of clover and make a
wreath ''to crown Ruby" she said,
and he would put it on and wait
about the school-house until the chill
dren came out, that they might see
"Ruby's crown"
There was one strange old hymn of
which he was very fond. Minnie
saved it for "good night song" she
told him and sang to the innocent
listener as his big blue eyes we're
fixed upon her face, and the lids
dropped lower and lower as the plain
tive notes of PleyePs hymn hosted
out of the window, upon the still
night air.
Depths of Mercy can there be
Mercy still in store for me.
Curious words to enter the ear and
play upon the feelings of meek little
eble-minded child, who could never
comprehend their deep significance.
But he always demanded the quaint
old hymn, and Minnie sometimes said
that she thought some good angel
taught him the meaning of it.
All the mother and father love,
which the child had missed, all the de-
voted tenderness of fond sister, or
the sheltering care Of brother which
he had never known, were made up to
him in the unvarying kindness and
attention of his little nurse. 1t never
wavered. She was the one person in
the world TO him, and with kind of
love such as a dog will show to a mas
ter, he chung to her.
They were abroad as usual one day
wandering up and down through the
streets of the village picking dande-
lions by the wayside, or showing
their delight in the beauty of the fair
spring morning, idly moving to and
fro.
"Look Minnie, see!" said the
child, standing still in the middle of
the road and pointing to new house
in course of erection. The men were
busy with the roofing; bright sheets
of tin lay coiled up, glistening in the
morning sun, and the workmen were
busy in placing them. One man whom
long habit bad accumstomed to fear
lessness was walking across the roof
very near the edge, and then turning
came back the same way. Ruby
clapped his hands and danced up and
down. "The man walks on the sky"
he said, "Ruby could do that" and
then he laughed and watched the man
earnestly as he fastened the sheet of
tin in its place.
"No," replied Minnie, "Ruby
would fall; come on to the house
now, after dinner we will come again"
But she found it very difficult to
get him away, and when he had been
almost dragged from the spot, he con-
tinued to look back and watch the
men.
Dinner time came and they went in.
The men, too, ceased their work and
