the poke juice bottle and let you scan the
trail it makes on this fair paper.
Do we boast of this nineteenth century;
of our power, of our greatness? Aye,
this era of Wanted supremacy? What is it
that conquers love, honor, place. and even
religion? 1t is money! Wealth is the
goddess whom we all adore.
We dedicate our existence to her daz-
cling reign. Friends are forsaken. peace
destroyed and honor trampled in the
mire that we may bow in worship to this
idol of dollars and dimes. Love is a pas
sion Of strength and power. but it fades
from view or takes a back seat when
Mammon approaches.
Truly, the dollar is mighty in our civil
ization. Unbounded wealth can accom-
plish anything that pertains to this ter
restriaI sphere. 1t cheats the people and
elects presidents; it gives the murderer
liberty and the thief freedom; it lionizes

The Worst Thing on Earth.

DEAR II. /. C. FRIENDs-It has been a
long time since L visited your page, but
will sit myself down, this dark and muddy
day. and write a few words on "Intem-
perance."
Intemperance is the worst thing, really,
on earth. There are more people go. into
the saloon than into the church. When
the young boys 90 into the saloon they are
going into the worst pen they can get into !;
and any man or woman that will go into
the saloon, drink, play pool and cards is
doing the DEVILS works. And, let me tell
you. there is a man not far from here who
is drinking on his fifth barrel of cider this
winter. Just only think. 1t is enough to
kill any human being. But / will tell
you he is about done drinking think if
the people would make way with all the
saloons there would not be so many poor
and hungry people. But don't ever ex-
pect to see the day that there will not be
any whisky drank. CINDERELLA"

A VISION.
Crescent Hill, Bates county, Misso,
Feb. 20.

"LeoIine Lester" Falls Asleep and Relates
the Experience of n Dream.
1t was evening-a warm. sunny evening
OF September. l CHANGED to stroll be-
meath tree hard by my old home and
feeling rather weary l stretched myself
upon natures carpet and feel asleep.
1t was then 1 walked in a new yet in
distinct light, where l saw Tor SCENE to
see) our future destiny. 1t was truly "a
dream of darkness" yet not all dream.
Stars ceased to shine, rivers ceased to
move and Dian faded as beam at even
tide.
Hope hung respondent on the wings of
fate Life was not life The race fell
where it stood, nor dreamed a dream of
happiness.
Beasts skunk away and hid themselves
amid the hills of woe.
1 seemed to look upon the darkened
sky, and saw in the misty distance comet
come TO view. Nearer, yes, and nearer to
the zenith of the skies it drew, shedding
a glare OF light upon the mundane sphere.
The race gazed on it in dream, and stood
fearing its presence as If il were a sword
hung over a sinful world. tpassed away.
Oblivion claimed il as her own. No more
will it appear to scar the life around.
No more will it assail, for the clouded past
has hid il e'er from view.
Scarcely had the dread passed on its ter
rOriZing tour, when stole into my dream a
mirage grim and spoke of grim deception,
and / sought to flee forever from its pres
ence grim. 1t came and went as driftwood
in a brook, no more TO wrong the heart
with dark deceivings.
A cloud passed from my sleeping ewes
and beheldV Venus, the goddess of beauty,
caressing the evening star They shone
together in the skies and people wondered
long. Their beams had mingled as it
We're, in strange conjunction, but it passed
as if it were dream of pleasant sunshine.
Night came and went The stars sank
meath the evening sky, where ever hid
the hearts OF all the wanderers will ne er
be troubled more.
The dream has passed. The autumnaI
sun shines not upon the fading landscape.
The winter grim is passing, and soon to
view will come sweet spring to cheer our
hearts. The green spring poet comes to
to cheer the world. while by the lake the
dude sings sweetest lays unto the ripping
waters. The bleat of lambs, the low of
kline, the clarion of the chanticIeer from
some far barnyard will be heard, while
from the back yard the fragrance OF
sprcuting catnip and the gentle smell of
burning shoes will greet our nostrils.

commonwealth of equal population in the

believe in the doctrine of state pride, es-

DEAR FRIENDs-In glancing over files Of
THE SENTINEL find that hayn't attended

this matter? hope not adverse" winds
are powerful factors in shaping the course
of human events, and when sickness
comes our thoughts are turned into chan
nels that dismiss for the time being all
worldly pleasures.
At present l am a soiourner in Bates
county, Missouri; am recovering from an
attack OF malarial pneumonia. | left my
old home in Illinois last Thanksgiving
day. My admiration for this beautiful
country exceeds the mental picture l had
drawn from hearsay. A strange land it Is.
Turn which way you will, if there is a
spark of love in your heart for the beauti-
full you will see something to admire.
Previous to my illness / was fortunate in
seeing a large part OF this county, so l
thought | would send pen picture of it
to the II. l.. c.; but / am too weak for
that Just now, and, after thinking the mat
ter over, / have concluded to send the
letter to the local paper at my old home,
because 1 don't think such letters are
appreciated or in accord with the ethical
Il
they are right, too.
1t seems that after two years absence
Brother Randolph" comes forward with
an astounding discovery. He saws il such
letters as some write find room on the
page often they will be detriment to our
society, and then saws am / putting this
too strong? No, Randolph" l don't
think you are putting it strong enough.
If you are correct in your conjecture why
don't you make manly statement and
give the names of those writers so that
they may have a chance to reform or de-
fend their style OF writing for the page?
What better guarantee can we have than
the editors judgment in selecting letters
for the page? ''Tycho," the rolling OF
frozen peas and vinegar pellets on the roof
OF a glass shanty means no more
than mothers promise to lick
johnny after breakfast for slamming the
door in the cats face. I'm yours truly.
Come to the page again. Should like to
speak to ''IncOg" and Marie" But l am
too weak to object to personals being
frowned at. Will say though that there

IL We ConId Know.

If we could know when soft replies,
And smiling lips and tranquil eyes,
Hide hearts that tremble, throb and ache,
AS silently they greve and break
Beneath their mask of graceful lies
We might not deem ourselves so wise
To measure griefs by tears and signs;
Some hasty judgments might not wake,
But spare for hidden sorrows sake,
Our friend behind his gay disguise
If we could know how in the mines
OF tenderness the pure gold shines,
We might not feel the smarting stngs,
The longed-for message often brings
From heart that round our own entwines;
We'd read between the formal lines
And careless words, unerriug signs
OF love that upward, onward springs
To meet its on steadast wings,
And commune hold on sacred shrines.
MARGARET HOLMES.
We all love to see a beautiful old gen.
tlewoman or gentleman-beautiful not
alone in the possession of refined features
and silvery white hair, but that inherent
beauty of the soul which finds expression
in the gentleness of manner, the loving
cadence of the soft voice and the light OF
peace in the iast.fading eyes.
Yet at what great cost that gentleness
which we so admire may have been
acquired! Innumerable crosses, manifold
cares, frequent disappointments ana con-
slant self-sacrifice, all borne with patient
resignation to the Divine will.
To those favored from birth with q
sweet disposition the effort to retain it is
not so great; but a person possessing a
quick and highly-nervous temperament
must necessarily make a great and con-
tinuous effort if they would become sweet
and gentle when lies sun shall have passed
its zenith and is slowly sinking in the
horizon.
Perfection in anything is never attained
by one effort, unless the latter be made
continuous by perseverance. And if we
really desire to be, in our old age. the en-
bodiment of all that we admire in others
it is necessary for us to learn in youth the
lessons of patience and reconciliation.
Even childhood has its trials and disap-
pointments, which are as great proper
tionately, as those of manhood and
womanhood. And, in whatever spirit we
receive the lesser trials, whether in a
spirit of rebellion or submission, so are
we likely to meet the greater ones which
succeed each other so rapidly all through
life.
The flowers do not burst forth into
bloom in one hour or one day. Their
progress is gradual Nurtured by the dews
of heaven and warmed into life by its sun
shine, the petals one by one unfold, per-
feet in all their changes and perfect in
maturity.
Such should be our lives; and may that
Divine power which nurtures all the
flowers, and causes them to burst forth
into bloom, guide and guard our lives on
earth until the immortal soul shall break
its letters and blossom forth into the light
of eternal lite and love everlasting. Kind
greetings to all from JESSIE CLYDE"
