A word for the Juvenile Templars
We will take the liberty of addressing
few words to the parents living in
this village and vicinity in favor OF
this order. The main object of the
order is to restrain the youth from in
dulging in the use of intoxicating
liquors and all that tends to degrade
the human race, morally and. physic-
ally. We think that the order will
help all who join it, both young and
old. Anyone over five years of age
can become member by taking the
following:
PLEDGE promise that I will not
drink cider, beer, wine, spirits, Or any
alcoholic or intoxicating drink.
[ promise that [ will not use tobac-
CO in any form.
promise that [ will not use either
profane or wicked words.
[ promise that [ will not gamble.

CORN DUTY RESUMED.

About Three Hundred Cars of Corn Were
Caught in the Railroad Yards on This
side.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec 2.-The great
corn rush ended Wednesday night at IL
o'clock, leaving about 800 cars on this
side of the river, which will be subject
to duty when crossed into Mexico. The
Mexican National road has in the last
four months put more of its rolling
stock and motive power in handling
this stuff than any road ever expert
enced in the United States, and has
handled twice as much corn for Mexico
since June as has both the Mexican In
ternational and Mexican Central COM
bined- The yards at Alice are cleared
of the corn held by the San Antonio &
Arkansas Pass Big law suits are threat
ened by the owners of the corn left ON
this side against the railroad handling
it Kansas City shippers admit that a
special from Laredo several weeks ago
regarding the shipments of corn to
Mexico saved them pile of money.

THE FARM BUILDINGS.

Render Them Comfortable Before Ex-
Iremc Cold Sets In.
A farmer should never attempt to
winter more stock than he can furnish
with comfortable shelter. Many farm
ers have large farm buildings but they
soon get out of repair, a board off,
door hanging by one hinge, or leaky
roofs. Such buildings are not COM
Portable. The openings allow snow to
continually sift in, or give free and I'M
interrupted access to drafts of cold air.
In such cases a pound of nails and a
few hours time in repairing often saves
a ton of hay in one winter. A build
ing which is simply boarded up should
have, the cracks battened and thus
made as tight and close as possible.
Use steel wire nails long enough to be
clinched. This takes little longer
but the batten will then always re-
main close fitting, which means a
warmer room and stock in better con-
dition with less fodder. The building
should not be made so close as to be
uncomfortable during the pleasant
days of spring, but there should be
free and thorough ventilation when
the higher temperature may require it.
Fodder may be cheap, but nails and
boards are cheaper, whereas feed is
gone in a single season, while build
ings are a permanent investment.
Provide suitable racks and hangers to
feed the stock from, and do not feed
from the ground or snow bank. Keep
the different kinds of stock in sep
arate Enclosure. Feed regularly. and
provide an adequate supply of fresh
water.-American Agriculturist.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
THE COUNTRY ROAD.

The pathway of life may be narrow and steep;
But the road through the country is sleeper.
The pitfalls and snares that beset are deep;
But the mud that surrounds US is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and mud holes
for drains,
And hard heads and powders for gravel;
And broken down buggies, On hillside and
plains,
Give warnings, like ghosts, as we travel.
Gaze at us from road side and stable,
Zoung men reaching wistfuIly out toward the
town,
Or seeking its portals when able
Deserted farm houses; the fences decayed.
And the breezes through weed patches blow
ing.
Where once happy children reioiced, as they
played
Hide and seek. where the field corn was grow
ing.
What joy for the youth, as his longings expand,
In life restricted and narrow;
His prospect, mid all opportunities grand,
But to follow the pillow and the harrow.
Half banished from hope, and shut out of the
world,
By ffimsy but tangible curtain;
Society's pleasures away from him hurled
The roads $50 very uncertain
There's little enjoyment in life scattered
round
And little of profit or pleasure,
In roads where the bottom can scarcely be
found
With less than aseven-foot measure.
Let US seek some reform then, at once e'er
we lose
All trace Of our roads from our annals:
And make surface roads that the public can
use,
Or else take the underground channels.

a RESTLESS PEOPLE.

Lack of RepOse a Characteristic of
Americans.
1t is often said that Americans lack
repose. Although there are undoubt-
edly exceptions to this rule, it is
a painful fact that repose, either of
body or speech, is not a strong charac-
teristic of the American nation. An
elderly gentleman was obliged to wait
over an hour in a railway station for a
certain train. The day was warm, and
the people sat about the room in vari-
Gus attitudes suggestive of great ex-
haustion and discomfort.
'1'm so tired it seems as if I should
die!' said one woman to another, as
they sank each into rocking-chair,
ard deposited their bundles on the
floor They began to rock violently;
each flushed face grew redder and red
der. They had not strength enough to
talk, but they rocked steadily on, until:
Gears ready for Squantum and way
stations!" smote the air
At this cheering announcement the
two women suspended their exercise,
gathered up their bundles, and walked
lifelessly out to the train.
There was a middle-aged man, who
came in with his wife and two boys.
''Sophy." he said, as he sat down heav-
lily on one of the benches, lets all
keep still, and get rested before we
have to go into that smothering car. -
And Sophy agreed that it would be
wise to do SO.
In the twenty minutes that the
group sat in the station, the man who
was going to ''keep still" crossed and
uncrossed his legs fourteen times ac-
cordiug to the elderly gentleman's
count. His wife buttoned and unbut-
toned her jacket four times, and made
five thorough examinations of the con-
tents of her bag. The children made
a. dozen excursions to the door.
Among all the tired people who came
and went during the elderly gentle
mans sojourn in that waiting-room,
there was not one who kept perfectly
still.
AS, in a philosophical and plying
mood. he recounted his observations at
supper, his wife said smiling: Poor
things! They didn't know the first
principle of rest. And you We're tired,
too, my dear; 1 can see that from your
forehead"
The elderly gentleman rose hastily
from the table; one glance at the
telltale mirror convinced him that,
while sitting in judgment over that
railway assem- blage, he had been vigor.

As the days passed. Kathy's relief at
being freed from the coin changed to a
settled unhappiness over her manner
OF disposing of it. Finally, upon the
day when she was informed that her
name was upon the roll of honor, she
found her situation unbearable. There
was no use in appealing to Jennie for
sympathy, for Jennie treated the
whole thing as an excellent joke.
Therefore Kathy acted once more
upon her own impulse. DIR. Egerton,
at work In his study that afternoon,
was surprised by the sight of her little
figure following a determined knock
which he had imagined was that of the
most brisk Of his teachers.
With flushed cheeks, with fearful
eyes, but without an instant's pause,
she told to the end her story of her own
performance, though she.spared Jennie
entirely.
DR.. Egerton sat silently for a few
long minutes, still looking straight be-
fore him as while she had been speak
ing. Then he arose and offered his
hand with these astounding words:
81 am proud to know you. my child;
you have good consciencev'
As Kathy closed the door in leaving,
she caught flashing glimpse of DR..
Egerton seated again at his desk. To
her surprise he seemed to be laughing.
But this was one of those occasions
when it is not possible to believe ones
eyes. Kathy is sure that hers were
mistaken.

INSTALUS HIMSELF.
The Governor-eIect of Wyoming Porci
Takes Possession of the once.

The Governor-elect of Wyoming Porcibly
Takes Possession OF the ONCE.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. S.-Gov.-elect
Osborne, accompanied by several men,
went to the capitol building and asked
the janitor to show him into the execIf>
tive rooms on the plea that he wanted
to see the condition of the furniture.
The janitor refused to let him in
without the authority of the acting
governor. Osborne sent for carpea-
ter and ordered him to open a window
leading to the executive chamber By
the use of large chisel the window
casing was removed, the sash thrown
up and the party took possession. Os-
borne announced himself as governor,
saying that he had taken the oath of
Office before notary public.
The returns from the various counties
have not all been received, consequent
ly the state board of canvassers have
not yet canvassed the returns. Acting
Gov. Barber told Osborne on Monday
that he would surrender to him the Of
fee as soon as the state board canvassed
the vote and that the canvass would
take place as soon as possible This
hasty action on the part of the gov
ernor-elect is quite astounding to this
community. He has remained in the
office all day, but has not yet been able
to open door.
The present complications arose from
the fact that the constitution of Wy
oming provides for a lieutenant gov
ernor and since Gov. Warren became
senator Secretary of State Barber has
been acting as governor. There was
doubt when and how the newly elected
governor should assume the Office, so
he takes this means of bringing mat
tiers to a focus

KEEP A FEW SHEEP.


They Pay Better Than ANY Other Glass
of Farm Animals.
A writer who appreciates sheep, and
who succeeds in making good profit
on them, writes the Wisconsin Farmer,
and says: wish to impress upon my
brother farmers, through the columns
of your valuable paper, the Importance
of keeping at least few sheep for
several reasons One is that they are
such scavengers that they readily eat
the seed of the vilest weeds and they
are not like other farm stock, nothing
grows after passing through them.
Anyone travelling through the country
can tell at glance the farms that have
flock OF sheep on them. by their neat
appearance; no rag weed. the Scourge
of almost all our cultivated land, is
| seem might go on and tell of other
| bad weeds, for their name is legion;
| but the sheep will in every instance
| annihilate them.
| One other good reason is that they
pay better for the food consumed than
| any other farm animal, and 1 now
speak without fear of contradiction.
No kind of stock will pay such profits
| on the cost as flock of well-kept
| sheep. To illustrate: Two years ago
| in buying some feeders I got among
! them rather sman-sized eve, and in
| sorting them out in the late fall
thought L would keep and breed her,
for there was something about her
that l liked. Her cost price was
| two dollars; the next spring
she brought me two eve lambs
which she raised splendidly. She then
met with an accident and had to be fat
tened, weighed 100 pounds, for which I
| got four and one-half cents or IS. 40.
| Now have sold to an Iowa man the
| two yearling ewes with sixty others,
| at IS per head. So her increase brought
me SIG, making in all, $3.50. 1 think
that the three feeces of wool amply
paid me for their keep. I never got a
chance to get much education and don't
presume to know what percentage /
realized on the investment.
Another reason, the sheep farmer has
more time for recreation than the man
who follows dairying, for instance; no
matter what happens, rain or shine,
that milk must be delivered on schedule
| time or there is a rumpuS. Another
reason is they are so docile and harm
less, requiring less fencing, and if per-
chance they should break into the corn
| they are not such gluttonS and will
not, like cattle, eat till they kill them
| selves. as is often the case. Another
reason is that no stock if properly bed
ded Will make as much valuable ma
nure and everyone knows that manure
from sheep is of the best. 1 might 60
| on and state other advantages, but
| these will suffice. Don't understand
me that the sheep is everything and ii
needs no care. There is nothing to be
made without close attention, and sheep
breeding and feeding are no exception
to the rule
