Love,s Fond Hone BIastea.

The tender, budlike hopes of Lewiston
youth who has been dreaming the first few
winks of loves young dream are crushed,
and he sometimes thinks that he never will
recover, but we think he will.
He has been keeping a young lady in
Raymond up nights good deal lately, and
she has been reciprocating the attachment.
The only party to the affair who was not
warmly and deeply in earnest was the
young lady's father, and for some reason
or other he didn't seem to warm up bit
and didn't seem to pay much attention to
it one way or the other The Lewiston
young man has been over there: good
deal, his disease of the heart keeping him
restless at home. Now and hen he has
hitched up the horse of his father-in-Iaw-
never-to-be and has taken his girl out to
drive in the sober moonlight, and by q jn-
dicious care in getting the sleigh out noise
lessly he has finally learned how to evade
suspicion and drive with one hand at the
same time.
A large, mellow night came along and
stopped at that town very recently, and
the young man was caracoling the old
mans horse over the hills gayly. Coming
back he committed a great error. He tied
the horse with slip moose. The horse did
not die. He was discovered before death
had claimed him for his own, but he was
almost moribund and the flash that had
erstwhile been in his eye had flashed out.
He was depressed beast.
The old gentleman made no charge for
the extra kerosene. coal and wood that had
been consumed in the front parlor, but lle

HUMILITY.

Piety, like beauty, is un.
done as soon as it is con-
scious of itself. The best men
and women IA our churches
are those that don't know
it. They mourn over their
imperfections, rather than
claim to have reached some
higher plane of goodness. In
passing through the great
fields OF Indian corn in some
Western States, one observes
that the ears which aresmall
and green and not filled out,
stand perfectly erect upon
the stalk, while the ears that
are ripe and brown and
weighted down with golden
grain, bend over so that the
husk iormsa an umbrella, com.
pletely protecting the fruit.
The best people are like that.
Laden with the fruits of Chris
tan experience, they bend
low with humility and a sense
OF imperfections. As bees fly
home to their hives, their
thighs laden with pollen,
which they shake off, and
never looking behind, fly a.
way again for another load,
leaving it for others to pack
the pollen away in the cells,
SO the true Christian forgets
those things which are behind
and reaches forth unto those
things which are before. It
is a good motto, to do all
the good you can to all the
people you can, and make as
little fuss about it as you
can.-Ex.

Encouraging Outlook for the Farmers.

The report of the statisti-
clan OF the Department of
Agriculture, now in press,
shows an increase since April
OF last year of more than 100
per cent in the price of corn
and oats; 30 per conc, and
more in wheat in primitive
markets;32 per cent, in Chi
cago for choice beeves, and
q for Texas, and advanced
values OF all cere and
meats. A hopeful and cheer.
ful feeling is noticed, says the
report, in official correspon-
dence from all parts of the
country. The elimination of
the surplus of corn and oats
through the underproduc-
tion OF .;.st year insures good
prices :::,.r those crops, and
the shor age OF the wheat. of

tive prices. Fortunately pres

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Mr.. Harrison is really be-
coming alarmed on account
of the attitude Mr.. Blaine
has assumed towards him. 1t
isn't the absurd fiction con.
cerning Mr.. Blalne's failing
mental powers that is worry.
ing Mr.. Harrison for he has
had occular demonstration
within the last four days
that there is mott the slightest
disarrangement OF his pre-
mier,s ability to use plain
and terse English, but it is
the idea that Mr.. Blaine does
not propose to give him the
benefit of his advice in shape
ing things for his nomina-
ton, and that under the plea
of ill health. Mr.. Blaine may
go to Maine and leave him
for an indefinite period to
wrestle alone with heimpor-
tant International questions
that are now SO M merOuH in
the State department that
they almost bump their heads
together.
If the republican District
Attorney is not made to
reglect his duty by the pow
ers above him young Mr..
Raum, the son of the bor-
rowing Commissioner ofPen-
sions, may find himself the
inmate of a prison cell us the
result of his energy in selling
appointments and promo
tions in the Pension Office.
The Civil Service Commission,
which was duped by this
young office-broker, is deter
mined, that is to say, Ted
dy" Roosevelt, who is in re-
ality is the commissioner, is
determined that Raum and
his confederates : h al be
prosecuted, and if he can pos
sibl.v accomplish it, punished.
The evidence, which Koose-
|
velt says makes a plain case,
was laid before Mr.. Harrison;
he referred it to the Attorney
General, after holding a long
consultation with him, and
doubtless mapping out pre-
cisely how much in earnest
the prosecution is to be on
the part of the Government.
Meanwhile old man Raum
holds the fort in thecrooked-
est bureau Of the Govern
ment although public opin-
ion may in the end compel
Mr.. Harrison to ask for his
resignation-he'll never get
it unless he does ask for 1t.
The old fake that Mr.. Har-
rison had Come to the con-
slusion that it would be only
right and decept to give the
democrats three out of the
nine U. s. Circuit Court judg-
es has again been revived
possibly by the visit to the
White House Of a delegation
OF Virginians led by Senator
Barbour, in the interest Of a
democratic candidate for'one
Of the appointments. When
he appoints even one demo-
crat then | shall believe that
he intends recognizing the
party. Outside signS-the
presence ofsome Of the known
republican candidates -point

WASHINGTON STATUE FOR
FRANCE.

There is a great deal said
now in the,papers aboutstat-
ues and monuments. They
are becoming common in the
| North. Its civic and militia
ry heroes are often honored.
Its philanthropists and cler-
gymen OF great note deserve
to be thus remembered. We
see it is stated that a statue
OF Gen. Washington is to be
presented to France 10y Amer
lean women as a recognition
OF the most important aid
and sympathy given to the
struggling colonies in the
crisis OF their cause. France
sent long ago a statue OF La
fayette which stands in Tn
ion Square, New York City,
and q few years ago it also
gave thestupendous creation
OF French genius-"Li
enlightening the World" 1t
would he a graceful act to
send a statue Of the Illus
trious Washington to France
as a token OF gratitude upon
the part OF the United States.
We hope it will be done. The
wife Of JuJtice Field, Of the
United States SupremeCourt,
