TkEIE zLEDGE.
BY EBEs E. RExFoRD.

Yesterday heard what pleased ne as i walked
the busy street,
where the tide OF life flowed past me, as two
comrades CHANGED To meet.
had often paused to watch them, as they
PASSED me day by cay,
For their pleasant faces won me, as 10y came
and went their way.
.yHey are manly little fellows" often t. myself
And hoped their feet would follow where the
best and Lrayest tread.
Thev had Paused upon the pavement whore
Turing light was cast
From gayiv painted window DER the people as
Often strains Of merry music fioated out upon
the air,
like the voice of sirens drawing men to sorrow
and despair.
Aeu we're coming, men were going ever through
the fatal door,
Drifting on the tide of ruin to the rocks that
line life's shore.
%. God grant these boys steer safely past the
shore where danger is,
let the wrecks Of manhood warn them; save
them from fate like his"
PRAYED I, as the door was opened and Toung
man staggered out,
And his ribaid drunken laughter woke the
echoes all about
All the traces of his manhood drink had driven
from his face,
leaving there the bitter story of his ruin an l
disgrace
lie went reeling from the doorway where they
sell to those who'll buy
Shame and sorrow, wo3 and ruin, with drink &
madness in his eye.
Cong the two BOYS stood and watched him then
one turned and, John said he,
30 you think our lives will ever such sad,
sad failure be?"
sNo," the other answered proudly; II will tell
you what L do
will pledge my word Of honor for all time TO
come with you
THAT I'll touch not taste not liquor. Will you
promise me the same?
Come, let's lave temperance order, though III
may not have a name"
~ will promise" said the other then they
clasped each others hand
In that warm fraternal friendship which all true
hearts understand;
CIasped each others hand and promised they
would shun the tempting bowl
That would lead them down to ruin OF the body
and the soul.
Can you guess what Joy it gave me to be witness
OF their VOW?
! Was proud of them before it was prouder O
them now;
o, my boys, be wise, be careful; turn away when
tempted sore
Dash aside the cup that's offered say you'll
touch it nevermore.
ASK Of God the strength that's needed, III temp.
tation's hour be brave
Thinking that the way leads downward and its
ends drunkard grave.

Western Wisdom.

When we see people doing wrong we
say we hope that they will not be pun
ished for it, but we never mean what
we say.
The poorer a man is, the more apt he
is to think that there is nothing that
money could not buy.
The only secret that woman should
keep from her husband is that she man
ages him.
Girls have signals for changes of sea-
sons as well as boys. When you see a
boy with his marbles you need not look
far to see a little girl with jumping
rope.
Clean up your alley now and you can
sit on the fence and advise your neigh
Dor when to clean up his.
A loafer hates work, bat he likes to
see it going on.
When you are sitting in an opera
house, making fun Of the people in
front of you, do you ever think that
there may be people behiad you max
ing fun of you in the same way?
It's pity mal cannot take out his
liver every spring and wash it.
When a woman takes good care of q
good husband she is taking the best
possible care Of herself.
A good many people talk poker
slang who never play poker. Many
men want the reputation of being d
hard poker player who never play al
all.
The only way you can get rich il tc
do without things until You are so old
you have no appetite for them
Women do not marry for money, but
they say il is easier 10 love rich mar
7 than a poor one.
In one respect woman IL superior
10 man; she can be good natured
when she is hungry.
There is one beauty about an amateur
opera If the boys get mashed on the
chorus girls they don't have to follow
I the show of,
How persistent people are abou

from the lake. 1t matters little who
owned the property; it is sufficient to
say that Mrs Sapphira Dodge, the
widow of a wnEast sea cap
tain, occupied it, and there con
Quoted a home-like but aristocratic
boarding house. The array of board
-ers around Mrs. Sapphire Dodge's
tables differed little from that In
scores of other resorts of similar
kind The gossip was as prolific
among the ladies'; the rivalry in dress
and the petty jealousies fourished there
Hs they always have and always will
in boarding houses Of wealth and ease.
But on the fatal night of October 9,
1871, the house was destroyed, and
Mrs. Sapphira Dodge never again
opened her establishment. Many of
her boarders never showed up again
after that night, and quite a number of
board bills are still unpaid.
4 romance grew from the burning of
Mrs Dodge's boarding house, and a
confirmed bachelor became benedict.
Prominent among the boarders was
Colonel T. G. Frost, middle-aged at
torney, who did little but collect rent
from half a score of buildings at the
beginning of each month And then
there was Mrs. Amos L. Matthews, a
widow with an income and two charm
ing daughters May, the elder, was
tall and willowy, while her sister, Anna,
was plump and round of figure. II
had long been the talk of the boarders
in general that if the Colonel had a
very little encouragement he would
have placed his future happi-
ness at the disposal of Miss
May. But the encouragement did
not come, and though the Colonel
was bold in war he was bashful in
matters of love, and had it not been fol
the awful fire he had in all probability
lived and died bachelor.
The boarders were all excited OF the
night of the fire. Long before they
went to bed that night they watched
the lurid sky and in hushed whispers
wondered what was burning. No one
ever dreamed that they need fear. A
few of the young, unmarried men left
for the scene Of the fire late in the
evening. but they did not return
Whatever became of them Mrs. Dodge
never knew. Their board bills are
among the unpaid.
Every one who knows anything o.
che fire of October, 1871, knows how
she flames roared and how the burning
brands rained over the roofs far in adj
vance of the main body Of the fiery
hurricane" As it was in scores and

THE DAWN OF EASTER.
Significance of tho Day to the CIviIIze,
WnrlI-

Significance of tho Day to the Civilized
World.
To-day tho Christian world passes
from the gloom of the somber and peni-
tcntial Lent into the light of renewed
life and activity, better prepared TO dis
charge tho duties and rcsponsiL ilitics
OF life through the rest and fruitful
contemplation the season of solemnity
has afforded. Time itself is in harmony
with this renewal, and with opening
buds, bcaming sun and song of birds,
nature is n chime. The social gaycty
that gave place during the forty days to
moro sober and serious reflection again
resumes its sway, its pleasure all tho
greater for the respite from it's oft ex-
acting and wcarying duties.
As time goes on there seems n creator
disposition to return to Lent as fitting
time for thoughtful contemplation and
Tor tho temporary abandonment of nero
pleasure. However the individual may
view Lent, whatever may DO his re-
ligious predictions, he can not but be
influenced to q greater or less extent by
the atmosphere of devotion that per-
vadcs the period, and II not moved by
personal conviction, at least pays re-
spcctful Difference to tho spirit actuat-
ing tho great mass Of the people. Thus
Lent finds him an observer of it's rect,
If not its austeritics, and ho gains in
physical and mental rccuperation, how
ever non-affcctcd he may be in n spirit
ual sense. Thus is the influence of the
season felt by all. To vast number it
Is season when faith is strengthened
and tho mind purified and cnnoblcd; TO
others 1t affords that opportunity and
inspiration to serious contemplation
which can not but be productive OF
moral elevation, while to those least in
fiucnccd by its presence it brings re-
frcshing rest from social demands and
cxactions.
: To-day tho shadows OF Lent depart,
and tho bright, uncloud"d sun OF Easter
bcstows upon tho earth It's kiss Of peace
ful bcncdiction; to-day, throughout tho
length and breadth OF Chris,cndom,
man hears tho hosannas OF praise and
thanksgiving, and earth, refreshed. pur-
I iilcd and frightened, catches tho happy
inspiration Of tho hour; to-day life takes
up with renewed strength and clearer
mental vision those duties and rcspon-
sibilitics which make 1t worth the iiv-
Ing, and tho stone Is rolled away from
! the grave OF darkness, doubt. envy and
selfishncss, in which human hearts and
human minds arc frequently and sadly
sepulchrcd. d.-lIoston Budget.

Abraham Lincoln Could Take n Joke as

Those who knew Abraham Lincoln
best know that he could take rs we'll AS
givo in tho matter of n joke, says the
Chicago journal. In the spring OF 1919
he loft Springfield, ILL.,, for Washington
by stage to accept tho Commissioners
ship OF tho General Land Office. In the
stage were Thomas IL. Nelson, of Tcrro
llautc, aftcrward Minister To Chill, and
Abraham Hammond, aftcrward Gov
crnor OF Indiana. They found Lincoln
asleep alone, with his long, lank form
stretched across all tho seats. After
slap on tho back no sat up, and they
invcntoricd an individual dressed in n
worn and ill-ftting suit OF bombazinc.
without vest or crayat, and palm-lcaf
hat on tho back OF his head. Hero was
subject and tho pair proceeded To per-
pctrato several jokes. Lincoln took
them with tho utmost innocence and
good nature and joined in tho laugh, al
though Mt his own expense. When they
stopped for dinner tho conversation
turned on tho now comet of that year.
and Mt tho table, with tho twenty-five
cent palm leaf under his arm. Lincoln
asked: "What Is going to 10 tho up
shot of this comet businoss?" Nelson
replied that no was inclined to the
opinion that tho world would "follow
tho darncd thing olf." Tho three did
not meet again for years--not until
Lincoln arrived in indianapolis on his
way TO Washington to DO inauguratcd
President. As they approached tho door
OF tho oflco in tho hotel long arm

claimed: "lIcllo, Nclsonl DO you think,

The Carson Appeal thinks it would
be n good idea for the Western silver
men to introduce FREQ coinage bill
and push it to vote. III the bill

time has passed for us to continue
TO bow tho knee to- Wall Street. We
have the power to compel recognition
OF our rights and bold, aggressive
