and should not be mOnOpolized for specula-

land now held by railroads and other corpor-

White Ribbon.

We believe Miss Wizards white
ribbon is more to her than a cOronet.
indeed Il crown would add nothing to
her greatness, nor could the sternest
poverty detract from il. Noble men
and women have done her reverence
and she has won all hearts by her sim
plicity and sweetness and gentleness.
and By and through her shining evi
dcncc our ribbon has won immortal
glory.
We doubt not that Lady Somerset
is prOuder of the white ribbon than OF
the House of Beaufort. 1t secmeth
not to matter that her lord and hus
band is son of Henry Charles Fitzroy
Somerset. X. G. p G. eighth Dude OF
Beaufort and Marquis and earl OF
Worcester, Lord Lieutenant OF Mon
mOuthsilire, educated ut Eton, Lieu
tenant of Life Guards, Captain Of
Seventh Huzzars, Master of Horse,
etc, etc. Earl of Glamorgan, Wis
count Grosmont, Baron of Coldecat,
Raglan and Cover, descendent Of Ed.
ward 3d, etc, etc. How thankful
ought we to be that we are Ameri-
cans, and what wonder that this lady
writes her name plain Isabel. Her
character is illustrated in that she
voluntarily relinquished the courts Of
queens and princes and gives wealth,
health and strength to the cause which
the white ribbon represents. The
poor of London are more to her than
her castles, and she thinks more of
how her sewing women are TO live
than Of how to spend her days IN ease
and the pleasures Of season.
As she has sacrificed in large way,
even so can the least of US make sac.
ritice in small way for every love OF
the white ribbon, which is not circum
scrlbed by position or wealth or titles.
The white ribbon antagonizes moth
ing that is good, but all things evil.
"A continued protest even before the
eyes of the people, expressing the
fact that the Christian WomanhOod
of the land is bitterly and unalterably
opposed to the licensing of the liquor
traffic. Let the white ribbon never
forget, as it roams in pleasant paths
that its first, last and all time duty is
Il brave and fearless protest agains,
the liquor power-Home Guard.

William Catabap;ist Daily is in a peck OF trouble,
all on account Of James Lamey. Little Jimmy

reckless OF the lightweight jockeys on the American
turf He has frequently been called before the
stewards at the different tracks account Of the
careless manner in which he has ridden many OF
his mounts. W. Catabaptis Daily has had the
benefit Of Little Jimmy's' skill and recklessness
for the last seven years 1t has been said that the
boy was frequently punished by his employer when
he did not take the chances OF cutting off horses in
races in which he had ridden. and that most of
his trouble with the stewards at the different meet
tngs was due to following Days instructions.
W Cata1apts. is different from NJ. +. Dwyer in

manded an accounting Of the boys services. DAILY
