hawk in a novel manner last week. He had

came down to take it out he seized the squir-
rel with his beak. but as he pulled he lost his
hold and fell over on his back, while his head
went under the shock of corn. As he could
not free himself Patch came to the rescue and
captured him alive after a sharp contest, dur
ing which the boy had a chance to test the
strength and sharpness of the hawks talons
The hawk furnished a good object lesson for
a class in the Normal school

The Maritime Prohibition party,
the Dominion Alliance, and Canada s
new party, have joined forces, thus
uniting the entire temperance element
of Canada for political action.
The Farmers Alliance and the Pro-
hibitionists of North Dakota have
united on a ticket nominating Wal

some of the nominees Of the Republic
cans and some of the Democrats for
other State offices: 1t is men with
clean characters our country needs

Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew

to England in this capacity. 1t is
hoped that Mrs. Andrew may make

pices of the w. C. T. T., and she is
warmly commended to white-ribbon-
ers in all lands as woman of rare
gifts and culture. fervent Christian,
and Jealous worker for God. Home
and Humanity.
There have arisen within the past
few years a number of wOuld-be
prophets. with moonshine theories
for abolishing poverty and making
everybody happy. Their theories
are unavoidable because the drunken
masses, who are rapidly becoming a
menace to property and government,
are not material for an ideal commu-
nifty. But there is one thing that
can he done to abolish poverty, that
is perfectly feasible, and which is the
shortest practical route to that de-
sirable end; it is to abolish rum, the
cause of poverty. Destroy the cause
and prevent the result. The time is
coming rapidly when the nations will
have to take some steps toward cur
ing the discomfort of the clover
classes" toward modifying their
thriftlessness and idleness, and max
ing them sober and Industrious; and
the one step they will be compelled to
make will be to stop utterly the mak-
ing and selling of rum.

The principal address was delivered
by Walter B. Pierce of ChenangO,
Broom Co.. n. Y. He dwelt upon the
unsatisfactory condition of the farm
ers interests as they exist to-day.
They are the subject of needless tax
alton unequally levied, their pro-
ducts are freely counterfeited. as in
the case OF butter, lard, maple sugar
anu NiHt2dls anu IliCN HdNC hOO DCCh
as fully protected by the tariff laws
of the country as have other indus
trial interests. He urged unity and
organization on the part of the farm
ers. Nearly every other business has
an organization, and by this means
they are enabled to demand just rec
ognition. This should be the case
with the farmer
Mr.. Pierce is an effective speaker
and made favorable impression on
those whom he met personally. he
followed for many years the business
of a cigar manufacturer in New York
city, but has been for 26 years en-
gagged as farmer. He is the organ
izer of the New York Milk Producers
union, which is now about to put its
machinery into use in the cities OF
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City,
Long Island City, Newark, and the
surrounding centres of population,
to deliver to customers the milk OF
