Sunset on TiIIamook Bay.

Far out over the long black sea bill
lows, oceans vapors arise, pass and
change, group themselves and revolve
round the great, central, luminous orb,
and these dissolve and resume them
selves, here assume beauty and there
terror. Domes of gold, realms of
beauty, unfold an image of splendor
and solemn repose. The night dews are
falling, all is somber and still, the in
distinct light reveals war in the skies,
armies of gold DER the embattled noun
tains rise and rest. while far up in the
dim airy crags the shapeless feecy
clouds which seem to be brilliant frag-
ments of some golden world, hover in
the light around the rims of the sunset.
Then all these phantasmagorial images
wane dim and draw off slowly in si-
lence, to meet the powers of night,
which now gathering afar, battle the
last smile of the sun in his setting. In
this last light of day, ship far away
and asleep on the waves now mingles
with the wild shapes of this cloud
world, but lasts only awhile, for the
sun has gone down and all the pur-
pie and gold in the west has turned
ashen. The bay, from whose glimmer-
ing lights the last transient pomp of the
pageants of sunset departed, drew into
its bosom the darkness.-Tillamoo

Cut Flowers by Mail.

Cut flowers are constantly sent
through the mails, but seldom in such
a fashion as to preserve their bloom
and freshness. To effect this, pack in
a light wooden box, not using card
board; line the box with wadding or
cotton batting, laying over this a sheet
of tissue paper; then lay the flowers,
not on top of each other, but in rows
side by side, the blossoms of each row
on the stems of their neighbors; pack
closely, otherwise the flowers will be
displaced and injured in the journey.
Before packing they should stand in
water several hours in CIDER to absorb
moisture enough to keep them from
withering 1t is not well to sprinkle
them too heavily after they are in the
box, for without air this is likely to
produce mildew.-Hartford Courant.

GERMAN ECONOMY.
How Fritz Became Possessed of Farm
and Family.

ON"SoH.NA
and Family.
The old saying that the German far
mer piles up greenbacks where the
American sets out for the poor house is
strikingly illustrated in Kankakee
county. Fritz Loeb, an awkward youth,
trudged into the county asking the
price of twenty acres of land. Young Ed
Bunch, having inherited one-hunded-
acre farm, laughed at the little German:
"Twenty-acre farm! That wouldn't
support hen and her chickens"
"So?"
From Mr.. Bunch he bought twenty
acres and small dwelling. Then he
rolled up his sleeves. Driving daily to
town behind span of bays, Mr.. Bunch
saw Fritz wedding the garden, cutting
thistles hoeing corn. Which the better
farmer? The Germ ans land yielded
more an acre, his cows gave more milk,
his hens laid more eggs. More money
was made from the twenty acres than
from the eighty. Pretty Mrs. Bunch,
glancing at the Germans well-flled
pocketbook said to him:
You should marry"
'No one not have me-"
'Some little Dutch girl might"
''So?"
Years rolled on. Fritz worked so
late in the field that he millleG the cows
after dark. lie wore his old blue coat
until Bill Todd offered to give a dollar
toward buying him a new one, just foS
the appearance of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Bunch rode to town behind the span
of bays. He now borrowed money from
Fritz, mortgaging the farm and stock
Mr.. Bunch died, the debts unpaid. The
property, having for years decreased in
value, must be sold, leaving little for
the widow and her two boys, aged 10
and H. Fritz said to her:
Der leetle boys could drive oop der
cows und dig 'taters Let dem live nit
me-"
She consented, and the boys, fond of
Fritz, threw up their hats and turned
somersaults on the grass. A thunder
storm in July drove Fritz from haying
to the Bunch farm house. The widow,
fearing the lightning, was glad to see
him, giving him the best plush chair in
the parlor, filling and lighting his pipe
AS the smoke curled up over his head
he said:
Der farm vhas mine?"
"Yes. Fritz
DER span of bays vhas mine?"
"Yes, Fritz
"Der leetle boys vhas mine?"
eyes, Fritz"
81 no likes to leave holdings, Vhas
der vedder mine?"
Sh. looked through the window at
the rainbow arching the retreating
storm cloud, and she answered in a low
voice:
Yes Fritz"
At o'clock in the afternoon they
drove to parsonage behind the span

BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO.

Ono day, twas long ago.
l met Il maiden, fair to see
maiden fair and dear to me:
But that was long ago.
She was so fair know;
How fair she was cannot say,
But fairer than morn Of May;
But that was long ago.
And we did vow, know,
That some day we would wed,
Following where sly Cupid led;
But that was long ago.
The years went slowly by:
know not where they went,
Into what other forms were blent-
Perhaps into a sigh!
And then we met, know;
But all the hopes Of youth had fed,
And all the love of youth .7as dead:
But that was long ago.
And not word, 1 VOW,
OF all the past by US was said
We each some other one had we'd
But that was long ago.

to It's extreme limit by placing in the hands
of women the ballot. To do that would be
TO destroy, N theory at least. the last YES
tige of The ancient family with the husband
for its head. a writer previously quoted
in this paper says: 1.-The wiser political
thought may refuse to speak positively on
the REIMBURSEMENT Of women until it has
studied more carefully the political rela-
lions of the family"
As one illustration Of the progress OF the
paternity IDEA of government, and the
consequent weakening of the family idea
with its accompanying thought of parental
responsibility, we refer to the public school
system which pervades our entire land.
Too much cannot be said as to the necessity
of the public school: to our mind the life OF
the republic depends on it: nor should we
withhold words of praise for our admirable
system. But all this shows we are rapidly
advancing in cur theories to where individ
ual responsibility ceases and the govern
ment assumes all. The father and mother
who h re several children playing around
their door come half uncousciously to feel
that, as the government has provided for
their education, and the church through
various societies and agencies looks after
their moral and spiritual welfare, they are
relieved OF any special responsibility in the
premises. The result will be a general
breaking down and weakening of family
ueS. Pursue this Tor two or three gener-
atoms and the home, the bulwark Of society
and the foundation OF the state, will be
hopelessly gone.
We close with the statement with which
we began: These societies and institutions
are not evil in themselves, on the contrary
they are good, but in many instances atten-
ton has been concentrated upon them to
the neglect of thought for the family, and
they have been loaded down with work that
ought to have been done, and better done,
in the home. W. T. LLOYD.

HEADQUARTERS TEXAS OKLAHOMA UNION.

To the Gazette.
As the time draws near for the opening
OF the territory for settlers, the interest
and enthusiasm is getting at fever heat.
Every mail brings crowds of letters asking
for information and 10 Join our colony. In
answer to inquiries last week, will say do
not know when the proclamation will be is
sued. think it will be this month, with
orders to go in next month. The adVan-
tages of our colony are:
l. We settle our country quickly, which
gives US good schools and churches at once.
.. Our land is made valuable at once; set
tiers give real values to land.
3. We expect to settle around and build
up county seat town in the territory, each
one To get an equal interest in the town if
he wants it.
4 Our contracts are made at Iowa Park,
on the Texas border, for town lots in our
addition al United States prices. This Sc
cures US base of supplies under our own
control, and in addition to our Oklahoma
homesteads.
As it costs you nothing TO join us, you
have much to gain and nothing to lose.
There is no politics or reig on in the move :;
it is purely a cooperative business trans
action.
There is some tall scheming on foot,
we think, about the opening of the terri
tory. We shall not kick, however, until We
are hurt. The proclamation alone will de-
eide the issue. If the cattlemen stand in"
and beat the settlers, the Oklahoma BOOM
ers viii probably place the real situation
before the public and then settle the ques-
ton of supremacy with the cattlemen. The
