always the father-in-law that makes
the trouble. Every married Piute is
always glad of a visit from his mother
in-law. He welcomes her with his
broadcast grin. The arrival of the
mother-in-law gives him double team
where before he had only one animal.
He halls her appearance with delight,
and piling a jachass-load of wood upon
her willing old back sends her into

to peddle out the fuel and bring back
to him a supply of money for his favor

in-law is of no use as Il wood-packer,
nor will he gather grass seeds or pine
nuts. On the contrary when he is
around he himself goes for all the
poker-money that reaches the shebang."

SIXTEEN TRANS CONTINENTAL PAS
sENGER TRAINS DAILY.

Under the new train schedule which the
Northern Pacific Railroad inaugurated June Is,
1899. there will be sixteen trars-continental
passenger trains moving daily on this great
line, eight east bound and eight west bound,
exclusive of los local, main and branch line
passenger trains running daily west of St. Paul,
Ashland and Duluth in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho. Oregon and
Washington on its $500 miles of track.
Chas s. Fee General Passenger Agent of the
line at st. Paul announces that under the new
arrangements the first through train, the
Pacific Express, leaves st. Paul at SIS a. M,
daily, with through Pullman Palace Sleeping
Car, leaving Chicago daily at $50 p. m. via the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway, run
ming via Helena and Tacoma direct to Portland,
and making close connections at st. Paul with
all trains leaving st. Louis in the forenoon and
Chicago in the afternoon of the previous day,
arriving al Tacoma 1920 a. m. of the third day
and Portland the same afternoon.
The second through train No. l. the Pacific
Mail, leaving ST. Paul at AIS p. m. daily, max
ing close connections with the Fast Mail"
and all night trains out of Chicago, will carry
a through Pullman Palace Sleeping Car and one
or more Pullman Tourist Sleeping Cars leaving
Chicago at l045 p. m. daily via the Wisconsin

running these sleepers to the principal trade
centres and pleasure resorts in Northern Min

The recently completed Butte Air Line of the
Northern Pacific makes this the shortest route
between Chicago and Butte by 100 miles and

From all reports the fruit crop
throughout the country is failure,
Apples, which were a poor crop last
year, are worse this year. From
western New York, Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan the same discouraging
reports are brought. This is un-
fortunate in more than one respect.
The fruit growers will suffer for the
want of their annual revenue and
the people will be deprived of the
most wholesome and most luscious
fruit that the country produces.
The apple cider product also will
be limited and high in price. At
the proper stage of fermentation, at
which recent science has been adj e
to stop its farther progress, cider is
a pleasant beverage; to enjoy it is
hardly transgression for a Prohi-
bitionist, and it is also wholesome
like the fruit from which it is ex.
tracted.
Other fruit crops will also be
short. Peaches, plums and grapes
are less in quantity and poorer in
quality than usual. The evil of
high prices is not the only one con-
nected with the situation. Good
fruit, of the best quality, perfect in
growth and fully maturod 10y the
mpening influences of the sun and
air, can be procured only in small
quantities or can not be procured
at all.
No adequate cause is given for
the condition of the peach, plum
and apple orchards and of the vine
yards. Blight, insects, too much
wet in one place and too much
drouth in another have all been
disastrous and other things have
helped the process of destruction
along.

Republican Demonstra ton.

The call for the convention of the
League of Republican clubs of
Wisconsin has been issued, and the
period of active campaign work is
now formally opened. Henceforth
the republicans throughout the state
will meet and restitutc the organi-
cations which did such effective
work in 1888. Where there are none
new clubs will be organized, and
the old clubs will go to work with
renewed energy. The convention
which will meet in Milwaukee Sept.
3 next, will be made the occasion of
grand republican demonstration.
1t will be addressed by Senator
Spooner, the president of the league,
and by the best republican speakers
in the state. The most active men
from all the cities and boroughs of
Wisconsin will be brought together
at the convention. The exact con
dition of affairs in all parts of the
state will be asceytained, and the
best methods of effective campaign
work agreed upon. Everything pos
sible will be done to secure a large
attendance. The railroads will offer
reduced rates and the guests will be
well taken care of. No less than
2 500 delegates are expected.

counsels of the Democratic party
should return to prevail IN all

Success in Work.

Sir Andrew Clark. one of the most
successful and distinguished of Eng
fish physicians. has recently had por-
trait of himself presented by the staff
of Tue London Hospital. In his speech
replying to the presentation address
Sir Andrew gave some account of his
life and of the causes of bis professional
success. His story deserves perusal.
Sir Andrew was born in Scotland, and
went to London thirty-six years ago, a
young man in delicate health. and
without single friend or influential
connection. He had, however, a small
patrimony, and was enabled to pursue
the study of pathology, and to keep
himself quite free from any intrigues
or qua.rels. He devoted himself to
work. and before many years, despite
i'll health and opposition, he was made
physician to London Hospital. His
subsequent success was slow but con-
tinuous, and WAS achieved without any
definite expectation at first that it
would eventually be so brilliant. Sir
Andrew gave the following as some of
the conditions necessary for success in
medicine:
Firstly" he said, II believe that
every mans success is within himself,
and must come out of himself. No
true, abiding, and just success can
come to any man in any other way.
Secondly, a man must be seriously in
earnest. He must act with singleness
of heart and purpose; he must do with
all his might and with all his concen.
tration of thought the one thing at the
one time which he is called upon to do.
And if some of my young friends should
say here, i can not do that can
not love work then | answer that
there is certain remedy, and it is
work. Work in spite of yourself, and
make the habit of work, and when the
habit of work is formed it will be trans
figured into the love of work; and at
last you will not only abhor idleness,
but you will have no happiness out of
work which then you are constrained
from love to do. The man must be
charitable, not censorius-se lf-etfacing,
not self-seeking; and he must try at
once to think and to do the best for his
rivals and antagonists that car be
done. The man must believe that labor
is life, that successful labor is life and
gladness, and that successful labor,
with high aims and just objects, will
bring to him the fullest. truest. and
happiest life that can be lived upon the
earth. n-MedicdI Record
