with strangers, unless they begin
housekeeping on their own account
The first year of wedlock IS a trying
one, and should be tree from any dan

were two persons so near alike but
what they were different and had
their different ways and eccenuicities
A woman may think she knows q
man just as web ae if she had been
through his head a number of times
with lantern; but let her come tC
live with him from day to day, and
week, in sunshine and in storm:
when dinner is ready at noon and
when it IS late; when the bootjack
is on the nail and when il IS lost
when stovepipes are up and wher
they are being put up; and IN all
other trials and rcverses of life.

impatient obstinate streaks in him

selfish, overbearing streaks. And
the same with her. He may have
been firm as a rock in the belief thai
he was marrying an angel, but the
very first time he brings unexpected
company home on washing day hC

The following resolutions were un-

convention of the Young Peoples
Union of the Baptist Church at its
session at Indianapolis;
Resolved, That the 100000 saloons
in the nation which employ more
than a million of men and waste
more than billion of money every
year, together with the breweries
and distileries, all of which are
completely organised, are an aggrat-
ion of the most stupendous enemies
to civil and religious liberty, the
Christian Sabbath and our repub-
lican institutions.
Resolved, That we believe in the
absolute abolition of the liquor traffic
in the state and nation, ane pledge
ourselves to wage against it a truce
less war until the whole business

ed.

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.


MILWAUKEE, Sept. 5, 1898.
Another practically rainless week
with frosts nearly every night in the
greater part of the state. The cram
berry grower has suffered the most
damage. Carefully rendered reports
from the principal marshes in the
state show that from one.half to two
thirds of the largest crop produced in
years has been destroyed. Many of
the marshes are so badly frozen that
it will not pay to pick them, and in
several cases where pickers were at
work they have all been discharged.
This great loss can be attributed to
the drouth, as ample warning was
given to the growers by the Weather
Bureau before the first frost, but the
long continued drouth left them with
little water in their reservoirs and
they were nearly powerless to avert
the threatened destruction of crops.
Ice formed in some places.
Tobacco. but a short distance south
of the cranberry region, suffered but
little. Cutting is general and con-
siderable is already in the shed. The
quality and quantity will be much
under last years crop.
In the northwest half of the state
corn, potatoes and buckwheat, espe-
cially in valleys or on low ground was
considerably damaged. Some corn has
been cut, much of it needs another
week in which to properly ripeD. 1t
will make fair yield, not a large one.
Potatoes will doubtless be considera-
bly, below the average.
Threshing is well along end shows a
fair yield on some cereals-winter
wheat the best, with spring wheat,
oats and barley the lightest.
Fall blowing and seeding can be
prosecuted with the greatest difficulty
owing to the hard dry ground, and not
much has been done. Pastures are
very short, or entirely dried up, and
many are feeding stock. Milk and
butter show corresponding decrease.
A popularity of the drouth is the fact
that the wells and streams have di.
minished little if any in volume.
The average rainfall for the past
week is about IS of an inch.

The editor of the Orange Judd
Farmer made the actual trip through
all the aisles of every building at the
Worlds Fair and noted the time
taken, for the benefit of the readers
of that journal. No time was taken
to look at things, but the walking was
continuous; merely glancing for a
moment at something occasionally
The result was days of hours travel
each. A day added to Midway Plat
ssnce making 8. The trip was "sys.
temstic," no ground being travelled
over twice. The information was not
without value. The person who can
not give or 8 days to it, must decide
between seeing everything only in a
general way, and leaving out some
things entirely.
1t will cost $1,000 to go through
Midway Plaisance, says the same
paper, and see it all to which an ad.
mission fee is charged, or one can
walk through and not spend dime.

IInnrorected Women.

"The unprotected females in Massa-
chusetts, finds Massachusetts a better
place to live in than any other part of
the country" says the Boston Herald.
The Charleston News and Courier
takes exception to the form Of the
statement and wishes to know if the
Herald means oysters or chickens, and
if it means women why not say women.
But what does the Herald mean by un-
protected is our query. Does it mean
without the rights and privileges of
citizens? Or outlawed! Or penniless!
Or exempt from taxes or insured
against the gallows! 1t cannot mean
unclothed since Massachusetts women,
unlike the women of Louisiana, for
some years have been permitted to
own their clothing.
We know what an unprotected seal
| is. A long and costly conference
between Great Britain and the United
States has informed US that when the
Almighty gave to Russia the title-deed
to Alaska the seals were not included
Therefore all these years that they
have slipped over the icebergs, bask
ed on the rocks and gamboled in the
briny waves they have been unprotect
ed. But we have changed all that,
| the seals are to be protected both by
| Great Britain and the United States.
An experienced sealer says If the con
ditions prescribed by the commission
are carried out the seals will be exter
/ minated in three years. Their skin:
are such rich booty that their hunters
| in their greed and haste often fail tt
kill them before skinning. If the
poor seals could only be conscious Of
their protected state what blessing
il would be to them. Doubtless there
are seals in other parts of the globe
which are still unprotected, may i
be that they have some inkling Of
their forlorn condition and also the
same consciousness of their advantage
as have those unprotected females IL
Massachusetts. But the question is
in this great country of progress, why
are there any unprotected females il
Massachusetts, or any of the states
A commission should be oganized, ;
conference held or an extra session o.
congress convened. Is not one woman
worth many seals, And will the fret
men of this country allow an unpro
tected woman to dwell on this CONT
nentl Perish the thought.
There should be two reasons WHY
every human being should be entitled
to respect. First, because each is al
incarnation-a soul clothed with flesh
Second, that each has counted opin
ion in building up the state. All Of
life is in those two facts and he is 1
coward who shirks the responsibilities
of either. Make the second realit.
for all mankind and there will be M
longer such being in our republic a
an unprotected woman, however thu
chickens, oysters or seals may chance
to fare. q. V. LAYTON,

The Kenosla Telegraph talks thus;
We are authorized to pay fair re-

inscription on it was ''fat times CON-

men, some of them naturally so, and
others. we presume, were stuffed with

the bearers weighed, just to see if the
general prosperity has effected them to
any great extent, and the banner is
