A CURE FOR THE DRuNKARD.

This Should Be Carefully Perused by
Those Interested.
Editor Golden News: In the issue Of
October 10th OF the Daily Leader OF AL
lentown. Penn, notice an extract from
the Public Ledger, headed: The Cure
OF the Drundard, and am glad to call the
attention Of your readers to particular
point mentioned therein, viz, the cur
ing of men instead of sending them to
houses Of correction. The writer says:
'The initial step in this movement was
taken in Philadelphia recently when
local magistrate (Devlin) allowed we'll
known newspaper man, when arrested
for drunkenness, the privilege of taking
specified treatment, which he wisely
consented to do, with a most happy
cure az result"
While Philadelphia may claim many
good things, she can hardly claim the
initial step in this matter, for cases OF
this kind have been reported in various
parts OF the country, and | ask permits
sion to present to your readers few
facts which l am sure will be interest.
ing to all who seek to ''rescue the per-
ishing."
A New York prisoner, who had spent
about 18 months in Jail, heard OF the
Kelley cure, and in pathetic letter
pleaded that he might take it. His re-
quest was granted, and it is stated that
he today stands man among men.
Last spring, while in the south, our
assistance was asked for young man
in jail for vagrancy. My husband
called upon the prisoner, and found that
he was anxious to be cured Of his ap-
petite. He then saw the judge, who
allowed the young 'man to take treat
ment at the Kelley institute, Baxter
court, Nashville, Tenn. He is now
cured and in good position.
W. O. Davis. chief of police, Mem
phis, Tenn, says: II think the Kelley
Cure is Godsend. have possibly had
the best opportunity of any man in this
city to see the effect it has had on the
drunkards, and l unhesitatingly say it
has had most salutary effect. l have
on several occasions sent persens who,
while in a state of intoxication. have
committed some crime, to the institute
instead OF the rock.pile, and the results
have been miraculous. Several of the
men whom have sent to the institute
were, before taking the treatment,
worthless drunkards and a great an
noyance to the police officials, but since
taking the treatment are no longer seen
on our streets in an intoxicated condi-
tion, but are now respected citizens, sew
eral OF them holding positions Of trust
and responsibility. l will continue to
send all those unfortunates who come
under my observation to this wonderful
institution" ."-[Ida Buxton Cole in NY.

the great danger she was in, and would
come to her rescue, she put on new
courage and marshaled her lit
tle band forward with the glad
anticipation that they would yet be
saved. Sure enough the barks came
nearer and more audible, until amid the
bowling OF the terrible blast che could
distinguish the familiar tones of her own
faithful dog. He soen came in sight,
and showed by all his dog signs OF glad
ness that he was enraptured to have
found his young mistress. In few
minutes he was followed by party that
had come to the rescue, and it was
sight to bring tears to the moet obdurate
eyes to see the fathers grasp and hug
their children, and to see afterwards as
they entered the settlement the over
loyed matherH pressing the little ones
they thought they had lost to their
hearts.
When Miss Hungerford reached her
home reaction set in. The tense strain
on her nerves had relaxed, and for many
days she was helpless invalid. But
during her weeks OF unconsciousness her
bed was surrounded by warm and grate-
ful hearts, and she was nursed back by
the tenderest care into health and
strength. He. courage and presence of
mind, her indomitable will and deter
mination to save her little charge, all
drew upon her the love and admiration
OF the whole community. ''But all of
my self-containment and courage" said
she, would have been loves labor lost
had it not been for that brave dog Col
lie."
She then said to the teachers who sat
around her rapt in interest: "You will
never make me believe, after my expo.
rience with that splendid dog on that
eventful day, that he had not FORE
knowledge, or instinct, or whatever
you may call it, more than human.
Why, he knew as we'll as know am
sitting here, that a terrible calamity
was impending that day. 1t must have
been 80, or he would not have tried
with all his dog power to persuade rne
not to go to school that day, and to let
him stay with me after he had got to the
school. But another thing he did on
his way back home that morning which
think sealed his right to more than
human knowledge, and that was that
whenT he left me he went direct to a
place where poor family pastured a
small flock OF sheep, gathered them all
together and drove them into a safe en-
closure"
"But why" asked one of the teachers.
'sdid the people to whom you
brought the first four children not re-
turn with you to the school and help
you save the restP"
"No wonder you ask that question, "
she replied. "Thsy were ignorant Bo-
hemians; and you can have no idea OF
the british selfishness of those people.
They had their own children safe, and
that was all they cared about"
''But what became Of the dog?"
"Well, when got we'll all the people
in the settlement were very grateful,
and wanted to recognize what l had
done by all sorts of giits; but I would
accept nothing but the collie, and he
was my faithful companion up the time
of his death, a year ago. have lost
many friends and come dear relations
but doubt whether l ever shed more
bitter tears than when my poor Scotch
collie dragged himself towards me, laid
his shaggy head on my lap, and went to
dog heaven"

FORTY ACRES ENOUGH.

What = Farmer Can Do In the Owens
Valley Region.
Mr.. Shell in yesterdays HERALD had
very entertaining papes on the Owens
valley region, of which the following is
the conclusion:
Almost all the farmers in Owens val
ley had to start with very little or no
money at all. Now most of them own
nice homes. They mostly own more
land than they can cultivate. Eighty
or even 40 acres of land is enough to
handle for one family, and if properly
managed 40 acres will more than
support the family. Lam an old man.
but would not be afraid to make every
thing what family needs ON 40 acres of
good Owens valley land, 10 acres in
alfalfa, one acre OF beets and four acres
in corn, can bring food enough for 6
horses, 2 cows, about 25 hogs
and 100 chickens. Fifteen acres
in raiein and wine grapes can
bring at least rs tons OF
grapes, when the vines are 4 years old |;
this at $40 per ton amounts to $3.50.
But If q man understands how to make
wine and to dry and cure raisins he can
realize much more than that Two acres
of potatoes can bring more than enough
for the domestic use, and eight acres of
apples, pears and cherries eau, after the
fourth year, bring at least $50 per acre,
or $400. ALI these 40 acres can very
easily be managed by two industrious
men, whose labor is to be valued, be-
sides board, at $S5 per month or $S40
year. The capital that it needs to make
a good home on 40 or so acres of land
and to cultivate this land is not very
high. The land, including water, costs
$l5 per acre, elk horses at $50 each, $500 !;
two COWS at $40 each, $50; 25 hogs at S.
each, $751; wagons, implements, ETC.,
about $500; house, $1,000, more or less.
1t is always a little hard for poor
farmer during the first two or three
yeare, when the land does not bring full
crops and the vines and the trees are
not in full bearing yet; but afterwards
it is easier, and l know my estimation
of the earnings is rated rather too low
than too high. The income can also be
raised by connecting some spall in
dustry with farming, as keeping bees or
raising silk worms. The mulberry tree
would grow very we'll in Owens valley,
and the silk worm could probably stand
the climate of Owens valley first rate.
Thers is money in the silk industry and
cannot see why it is neglected as yet
IN California. Owens valley would be
the right place yet.

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
1t isnot with resentment, but rather
q feeling of sincere and profound regret
we observe the unsympathetic manner in
which the demand Of the Southern sec
ton of the state for more fair and equi-
table division of tie state and federal
Offices has been received by our esteem
ed North Georgia incorporates. While
they have not been able to deny that
south Georgia has been Systematically
and persistently ignored, the North
Georgia journals cannot conceal a feel
ing of acute pain that South Georgia
has finally brought the subject up in
meetin' aud made formal complaint
What's the matter with South Georgia
anyway, they say. AS long as the offices
are filed with good men, even if they
are from north Georgia, what ground is
there for complaint? Then they depre-
cate the disposition in South Georgia to
stir up "ill feeling between the sections
and finally they advise the South Geor-
gians that if they want any Offices they
must hustle for them, and not kick out
of the traces if they fail.
Now, we submit, this is not the proper
spirit in which to meet this really import
ant issue. How much more friendly, fra
telnal, aud altogether nicer it would be
for our North Georgia friends to frankly
acknowledge the corn in spirit OF frank
ness and justice that South Geor-
gia is really entitled to the next Govern
o., or the next United States Senator, or

make all sections happy concede t. at

freak lived a few miles from the town, a

greeted the visitor The woman was
quite dark, of a pronounced African
type Of physiogomy, feet and inches
tall, and in fair health, but has never had
any children. She wore white cotton
turban tied about her head and tucked
in at the back to support the immense
weight of her hair. This she removed
and lald upon the table and uuwound
the braids Of hel wonderful hair, which
went many times around her head and
dropped upon the floor. 1t was indeed
an amazing sight. Three braids almost
as large as a mans arm close to the head
but tapering to the thickness of a finger
at the ends, closely plated and measur-
ing feet 6 inches, braided as it is, IN
length. 1t looks a good deal like Span
isb moss, but is darker, crinkled and
9rizzled, coarse and almost repulsive to
the touch, suggesting ghOstly stories of
the abnormal growth of hair after death.

soc,ety Women as Mothers.

No children are more forlOrn and
more pitie1 than the waits of the wom-
an whose life is given up to what she
calls pleasure. The children of the
fashionable women are too often COM
mitted at once to the care of some stran-
ger, who is expected to perform the
mothers duty for her. But she often is
in temper or sleepy, and it is not cx-
pected she will put any sixteen dollar-a-
month baby before her own comfort or
pleasure.
