The Helena, Mont. Journal refers thus

The Helena, Mont. Journal refers thus
editorislly to the departure of Francis
Murphy, the temperance orator, from
that city after a series Of meetings there:
Americas great apostle Of practical
temperance is about to leave Helena TO
engage in the work elsewhere. Mr..
Murphy has demonstrated the genius of
human love for the invocation of sun
shine for broken hearts and the rebuild
ing of wrecked homes. He has worn his
epsulets with honor in a campaign for
sober lives, and the banner of gospel
temperance has hosted in skies unclouded
by hate. He is no mans enemy, and
every man in Helena is his friend He
merits honor and wins regard by the
wealth of his friendships and the nobility
of his life. By precept and example he
has done effective work IS an ambassador
of good morals. Although fully 3 600
persons have donued the blue ribbon, no
liquor dealer in the city mas harsh word
TO say against the genial author OF this
reform,
One of the most potential morals to be
drawn from the work of Francis Murphy
and his cOadjutors is the realiz4t Of
what can be accomplished by the power
of persuasion and the grace of
God, in comparison with the fauat-
ical tactics of political prohibition
under the ugly countenance of
force. When the iron hand of the law
is invoked to crush out institutions
created by the sanction of the statutes
the resistance Of human nature is EN- pha
sized into active rebellion against the So
called moral forces behind the effort. But
when men quit drinking Of their owr
volition, be the impulse what it may, 90
rights are intruded upon, no personal lib
critics are abriged, no business interest;
are assaulted.
We trust the good people of Helena
will never forget the system of rescbius
human hearts practiced by Francis Muir
ply, and will in the future frown dowI
political prohibition as an evil equal &c
the antagonist which it essails, and rely
upon the Providence OF God, the power
of love and the fellowship of man for thu
good results IN which their energies srt
dedicated. Francis Murphy and hi
lovely wife will carry away with them thu
God bless you" of Helena and the bes
wishes of all our people.

A BACK YARD EPISODE.
The True Story of Fat Man and
Wicked Hammock

The True Story of Fat Man and q
Wicked Hammock.
1t was in a back yard on Carroll street,
Brooklyn, and the hour was shutdown.
A hammock was suspended between
two posts.
Such birds as they have in BROOKLYN
were singing their sweetest songs pre-
paratory to seeking their gentle roosts,
and the yellow faces of the big sun
flowers carried grins of pleasure as a fat
man, smoking cigar, made his appear
ance.
He had come out to lie in the ham
mock and commune with nature as she
sent the sun to rest and babe the banana
peddlers cease their racket He pro-
ceeded to business by backing up to the
hammock, Selling it with both hands be-
hind him and drawing it under him.
He sat down on the ground. He
wouldn't believe it was the ground at
first, but after feeling all around he
finally became convinced and got up.
Something was said about a locality,
way, way off, which has no railroad or
steamboat connection, but his words
were not addressed to any one in par
ticular
This time he sided up to the ham
mock and held it so as to roll in on his
right side. His motives We're entirely
honorable, but there's heap of differ
ence between running a coal yard and
getting into hammock. He didn't roll
in. For some unexplained reason the
machinery skipped a cog just then. and
he woke up on the broad side of his
back with the hammock swinging over
him.
This time he delivered quite lengthy
address on Halifax and Texas-how to
get there-manners and customs-cost
of living, etc. He appeared to be con-
siderably discouraged, but after awhile
he braced up for another effort. He
spread his arms right and left, got a
firm hold of the hammock and then
hoped frisky little hop with the firm
intention of landing somewhere
He landed. His head hit the ground
first, and then, by sort of graduated
scale, the rest of his body came down
till his heels got there and Jared the
earth for thirty feet around. He was
very quiet for couple Of minutes. The
two or three cats'looking over the fence
couldn't be sure whether he was dead or
quietly enjoying good thing.
BY and by whoop broke the stiffness
of evening. 1t came from the fat man
Then the earth trembled. 1t was the
fat man getting up. There was long
handled shovel resting peacefully against
the fence, and ne rushed for it an
brought it down "kerswat!' on the ham
mock-and then turned and fetched the
fence an awful ''kerthump!-and then
knocked the whole face off big sun
flower, and when he had finished and
disappeared into the house those who
looked down into the back yard turned
pale and whispered to each other that
the end was not yet.-M. Quad in New
York Evening World.

He Was and He Wasn't.

When Jonah created that stir on the ship,
And his comrades concluded they'd finish the

Without him, and gave him, as 'twere,a straight

Which they did in a very brief minute
And down in the paunch of the whale be was
dropped
SO sudden he cracked all the ribs when he
stopped.
This speech from his labial portals outcropped,
I'm in it! Exceedingly ia it,
But when. with his tenement sorely dispeased,
He tore and he whooped and he yawped and he
sneeZed.
Till he made the cetacean feel so diseased
He could no longer bear it and grin it.
The fish made squirt for the shore thereabout,
And he served on his tenant writ of get out.
And landing him there did triumphantly shout,

Must either hold the plow or drive.
There is great truth in this, the St.

have a chance to learn when they do all
the ploughing and the Mckinley trusts
all the driving, and the present Mckinley
price of Ohio wool may suggest to them
that there is good deal more thriving IN
