mgfOn and Other Western
Points IN Pullman Colo
mist Sieebers.

The constant demand of the travel
ing public to the far West for a COM
Portable and at the same time an eco
nomical mode of travelling, has led to
what is known as Pullman Colonist
Sleepers.
These cars are built on the same
general plan as the regular frst-class
Pullman Sleeper, the only difference
being is that they are not upholstered.
These cars are furnished complete
with good comfortable HAIR mattresses,
warm blankets, snow white linen, cur
tains which secure to the occupant of
cfa berth as much privacy as is to be
had IN frst-class sleepers, plenty of
towels, COMBS, brushes, etc. There
are also separate toilet rooms for la
dies and gentlemen, and smoking is
absolutely prohibited
Each car is in charge OF an expert
euced uniformed Pullman Porters who
4 is required to keep the car in good
order and to look after the wants and
comfort OF passengers.
Another fact not to be overlooked
is that these Pullman Colonist Sleep
ers are attached to the daily fast ex-
press trains, thus enabling passengers
Occupying these cars to make the same
time as occupants of first-efass Pull
man SIeepers.
Passengers holding both first and
second class tickets are allowed to ride
in the Gays.
|! A charge Of $500 for lower or
upper berth is made between Council
Bluffs, Omaha or Kansas City and
San Francisco or Portland.
!, Fifty cents per berth per night be-
tween intermediate stations.
For those furnishing their own
bedding free berths are given in Pull
mou Colonist Cars running between
Council Bluffs. Kansas City and
Portland.
The Pullman Colonist Sleeper is es-
pecially commended for the use of the
homeseeker who is moving to the
West with his family, and who de-
sires comfortable sleeping accomoda-
tions en- route, but cannot afford to
pay the frst-class Pullman Sleeping
Car fare.

THE king of the Sandwich Islands
is in this country for the purpose, it
is said, of inducing the United States
to purchase his little kingdom. The
principle product of these islands is
sugar, aud what tine Sandwich Is
landers are after, says the Star-SIy-
ings, is the sugar bounty. il the
islands are annexed the producers
will be entitled to the 2-ceDt bounty,
which would come to about S., 900,
600 a year at the present of pro-
duction. That is why the islanders
want to sell and why their king has
the hearty concurrence IN the
scheme. The payment would be o
heavy one for the benefits received,
and the king had better be allowed
to keep his crown. After time the
sugar bounty will probably be re
peaIed, and then, if the islands wan'
to come in, they may do so.

You may sing of the beauties of springtims
That glows on the cheek of the young,
But l sing of a beauty that's rarer
Than any of which you have sung.
The beauty that's seen in the faces
OF women whose summer is Ger,
The autumn like beauty that charms us
Far more than the beauty of yore.
But this beauty is seen too rarely.
The faces of most women lose the
beauty of youth too soon. Female
disorders are like frosts which come
to nip the flowers which betoken
good health, without which there can
be no real beauty. II our { nerican
women would fortify themselves
against the approach of the terrible
disorders so prevalent among them,
by using DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scriptIon, their good looks would be
retained to ''sweet old age" This
remedy is guaranteed cure for all
the distressing weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women

CHIMPANzEEs have been taught to
wait on tables and sweep out rooms,
the wages given them for such work
being usually paid in bananas. In

done with them easily by permitting
them TO 90 hungry for while and

life, but of the real necessities.
There must be injustice some
where, when the prosperity end
wealth of this vast country are all
founded upon our toll, and Of all
who enjoy its fruits, We have the
hardest time and the least of its ben
efits.
When farmers are so oppressed
that they neither have opportunity,
time nor money for mental culture
it ls not surprising that we are often
ignorant OF our own condition.
And now, brethren, there is only
one way out of this pit of despair,
and that is for members to strictly
adhere To- the following ten com
mandments:
/. Thou shalt not ask for credit
or go in debt.
2. Thou shalt do more and better
thinking, and use less main strength
and awkwardness.
8. Thou shalt not stay away frou
thy regular meetings and say L won
der il the f. & L. U. will be a sue
cess.
4. Remember that perfection
not to be reached on this earth
T therefore don't talk about the fault
of the order to outsiders.
5. Remember that it has take
about twenty years to place US in th
condition that we are now in, and
we get righted in ten We will d
well.
. 6. Be patient. forbearing, kin
and honest.
z. Be as Jealous in keeping an il
eligible man out Of the order as 20
are to get eligible ones in:
8. Don't frequent saloons or drin
intoxicants often.
Q. Remember that the purity
the order depends upon the purit
of ITS members.
10. Remember that united "
stand, divided we fall, and shoul
we fall, great will be our fall, bt
should we stand the test now de
manded of US, peace, prosperity an
happiness will crown our efforts.

Agriculture as an Occubation.

BRETHREN:-Our occupation is the
greatest and most essential of all
others, because 1t is first in supply
ing necessities. From day to day
and from year to year it is the
source of supply for the physical
man-it is therefore the mother and
nurse of all other occupations.
And while farming favors and
strengthens population, makes and
maintains manufactures, gives en-
ployuent to navigation and material
to commerce, it is one Of the strong
est bonds of good society and good
morals.
The varieties of culture of the
various farm products, fruit, flowers
and golden grain is not to he COM
pared with the sitting atmosphere
of the city and its "hum-drum"
monotonous employments and anK
ious uncertainty of commerce, the
vexations and notifications of un-
substantial vanitIes.
On the farm we possess and main
tain health, the first and best of all
blessings. How uften do we fDd
men who have lost health in other
pursuits, forsaking their calling for
that of farmer, SIMPLY to regain
their health.
What q great calamity has befall-
en- the majority Of the young men of
the country, viz: the disposition to
abandon farm life for that of the
city, where they find difficulties and
temptations they so often fail to
overcome. Often young men favor
ed with all the comforts of life
with kind and living parents, fancy
that they can do far better by leav-
Ing the farm and engaging in city
life and trade.
There is but one alternative. and
that is to make home more attractive
furnish the youth more and better
literature or some writers put it ''let
the country ,ad he as well educated
for the farm as his city cousin Is for
the bar or counting room," and then
he will be led to properly estimate

Most all of our great and good
men began their career on the farm.
Poets, statesmen, physicians and
ministers owe their greatness to ear
Iy farm life and training.
George Washington pronounced
agriculture "the most healthy, the
most useful and the most noble en-
ploymcnt of man."
We should be the most independ-

also delight in the prosperity and
usefulness of other professions.
This is agriculture as it should be.
