If MOTHER WOULD LTsTLN.

Bl MARC AEEI z SANGSIER.
If mother would isten To me. dears
She would freShen that faded gown,
She would SOMETIMES take an hours rest,
And sometimes "A trip to town.
And it shouldn't he all for the children,
The fun and the cheer and III" play;
With the patient dronp on the tired mouth,
And the Mother has had her day"
True mother has had her day dears
When vou were her babies. three
And she stepped about the farm and the house
As busy - ever a bee.
When she 70 ked you all N sleep, dears
And sent yoU all to school.
And wore herself ont and did without.
And lived by the golden ru'e.
And So your turn has come, dears,
Her hair IS growing white,
And her eyes are gaining the far away look
That peers beyond the night
One of these days in the morning,
Mother will not be here;
She will fade away into silence,
The mother so true and dear.
Then. what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the cleaning dim;
And father, tired lOnesom. then,
Pray. what will you do for him2
If yOu want to keep yonr mother.
You must make her rest To day;
Must give her Il share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play
And. if mother would listen to me, dears.
She'd buv her a gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet
And ruifles rs white as milk.
And she'd let you do the trOtting
While she sat still in her chair;
That mother should have il hard all through,
1t strikes me, isn't fair.

District Club Convention.

WHEREAS. 1t is deemed to the best inter
ests of the party and that it will better
serve the majority of the clubs to hold Con
greS>ional Conventions, instead of State
Convention of clubs, and with a view of
making the organization of clubs more eff
cient by the organization of Congressional
District Association of Clubs; it is therefore
ordered that Convention of Democratic
Clubs ofcach Congressional district be held
on
Wednesday, the frst day Of June. 1892,
1T the following places: For the First Con-
gre-sional district, at Weston for the Sec
nnd Congressional district, at Charles Town;
fnr the Third Congressional district a.
Charleston, and for the Fourth Congression-
i district a, Rsvenswood; fof the purpose of
organizing District Associations Of Demo
cratic Clubs and transacting such other busi-
mess "a may come before the Convention.
In such Conventions local clubs will be enti-
tied to the following representation All
clubs with membership of one hundred or
iess will be entitled to five delegates; with
more than one hundred and less than two
hundred, seven delegates, and with two hun
dred or more, nine d,legates.
The ohi~,t of calling said Conventions to
meet at the same time and place as the Com
ventions to elect delegates TO the National
Convention, is to afford delegates the OPP
portunity of attending both Conventions,
thereby saving both time and expense. The
County Committees and those heretofore
appointed to organize clubs, and all Dem
ocrats who believe in such an organization
of the party as will make it invincble in
the coming campaign are requested TO AS
list in the work of organizing clubs in
every msgisteria district and to have prop
erly represented at the Conventions.

Mr. Bcecher's Feariessness.

Ladies Home Journal the great preach

" wicked. aud the people f'ared him.
His church was greatly excited al their
pastors rebuke, and after service gather
ed about him exceedingly alarmed
"Why, Mr.. Beecher, you risk your lite

YOU have said and we fear will make

me to do my duty as see it. 1t would

that he should have known it"
Monday morning, as usual, Mr.. Beech

men who boarded with US 10 60 with him,
but they were afraid. | doubt if he
thought of the fears that had been ex-
pressed after the sermon. He certainly
did not aIlude to what passed when he
returned, but one of our people came in
soon after aud told me. As usual the
veranda of the hotel was filled with
loungers. He passed by, went to the
post-office and returned. This person
stepped down aud stood before him with
a pist !.
"Mr. Beecher, were yon alluding to
me in your remarks yesterday morning 2
81 was.
Take it back or I'll shoot you"
Mr. Beecher looked him sternly in the
face for Il moment and said:
"Shoot away!' and walked on.
The man followed him M rods with
the pistol aimed at him, and then. as il
ashamed to face the pc 'pIe on the hotel
slepS, turned down another street and
walked away. Mr.. Beecher often met
and passed him after that. but no other
word ever passed between them.

Kaiakama's Nary.

"reminiscences OF life in the southern
seas were being told by number of ac-
quainlances who were stopping at the Oc-
cidenial, says Seattle, Ore, paper
They were all commercial travellers. and
twn of them had been to the Islands.
"Oli King Kalakaua's ambition to
own navy" said Frank Albrechi, "end-
ed in one of the best bits of International
comedy every heard of think the
story, which is perfectly true. is not gen.
orally known, and | have never seen it
in print.
For years the genial old barbarian
had gazed upon The greatness Of the ma
vies of the other nations and cherished
the desire TO be represented and have the
lignily of his kingdom sustained by
real armed cruiser.
"The more he saw of the war ships of
other nations lying in his own harbor
the more il proved ON his mind. AT last
the happy day came when he had saved
enough Notwithstanding the Efforts of his
rabinet officers, who tried to tempt him
to play ireeze-out and other games Of
hazard, to buy navy for his beloved
government. He had already selected
the vessel he WAS to buy.
at was the American ship Ethan AL.
len, scrviceable craft bought Of Ameri.
cans and armed with four 'en-pounders.
"Then Kalakaua conceived an idea Of
reciprocity with Samoa, the nearest neigh
boring group, whose dignity approached
that of Hawaii.
"One fine day the Hawaiian navy sail
ed off Oh its mission and in time reached
the barbor of Apia. The flag of the su-
gar islands was pretty sight to the COM
mander of the vessel and the gorgeous
man of.war' drove the Samoans nearly
wild with envy.
"A brass band. made up Of Kanakas,
played the national anthem every night
for lights out, and every day the dusky
crew sIrutled along the beach and looked
di-dainfully at the p or natives of Apia.
"After while The stores ran low and the
Hawaiian navy was still 1000 miles
from home. The commander went to
the merchants of Apai and ordered
store of salt horse and sea bread. They
wanted their pay in advance. The ma
val officer told them with considerable
dignity TO charge it,
"'Io whom 2 lhey asked.
"'ro King Kalakaua. was the reply.
"'Who is her came next.
"The officer pitied their ignorance, but
he couldn't enlighlen them enough to get
any stores on tick. He finally pawned
the beautiful ten Founders for enough to
last during the homeward passage.
"The navy is now anchored in the har-
Dor of Honolulu, serving as a quarantine
station. II is said that the last days of
the king were shortened by this setback
in his ife's ambition, and that frequent
ly when he looked up from an ace high
hand there was pearly tear on the side

because he couldn't win that he wept,
but his cabinet officials who sat at the
game with him knew differently

IDAHO RUSTLERS KILLED.
EIGHT OF THEM SHOT AND
HANGED.
A Posse Engage in a Fierce Fight
With a Band of Noted Horse
Thieves and the Entire
Party Is Wiped off
the Earth.
The Wild and Woollx West

Boise. Idaho, Oct. 1S.-William Mar
WIN. Just i'll from Deer Fiat in the north
crii portion of Idaho. has given Deputy
Sneriu l.orton of Emmitt details of Il
battle that resulted in the complete OBJ
liberation of a large gang of horse
thieves who had long been source of
great loss to farmers and stockmen.
l.ariy III August Il large posse went out
III search of the thieves. who had re-
turned tn the SamaS prairie country and
We're operating with the utmost holiness.
Marvsn asserts that he witnessed bat
tie near Deer Flat between ruStlers and
the posse. The thieves had msaddled
their horses at a spring at the head of Il
shallow basin. about Il quarter of mile
IN diameter. They numbered eight. were
we'll mounted and heavily armed. The
shooting WAS all ut long range. and after
an lours battle no fat llities had result
ed. The posse then drew off and held
consultation. after which majority
OF the purSuers ranged themselves in Il
long half Il mile to the lceward of the
thieves. Then the few men left on the
windward side set the prairie grass
aiire. The hunted men started for Al
distant gulch i'll an attempt to escape
the double danger that threatened them.
Three of their number We're wounded,
and these the other rustlers left to perish.
The rustlers dropped everything except
their rifles ran toward ravine. firing as
| they went, but were shot down before
they had gone 1000 yards. The prairie
tire did not destroy the wounded r,stlers
left at the spring. though it Singcd off
their hair, boards and eyebrows and
burned their faces and hands. They
begged piteously to be allowed to die in
peace, but they werc, with their six COM
panions, strung up to the different limbs
of u tree and allowed to remain there to
| become the prey of huzZarlS.
