The church social held last Friday
evening at the residence of III. n.
Bascom was attended by about one
hundred and fifty people, and several
dollars were realized. Some complaint
was made that the ''friz pudden" was
a little rocky and hardly up to the
orthodox standard, which criticism
the management freely admit is well
taken and entirely correct. The cream
was concocted in freezers kindly
loaned by the Epworth League of
plUsv0t,, and as t,is md been in town
only few hours before beiag pressed
into service had not become thor
oughly climatiZed. The manufacture
crs of the decoction also made an error
Of judgment in mixing the ingredi-
ents which they greatly deplore. Next
time we promise delectable com
pound fit for the gods. A regretable
feature of the occasion was the nom
attendance OF DIR. %. w. Woodworth
of Ellsworth who mad promised to he
present and address the Sunday-school
children from the top of the road grade
which Henry had thoughtfully drawn
up in the front yard for that purpose.
A dispatch received late in the even
ing from Lost Creek informed us that
the DIR. was down at that place elabo-
rating and perfecting code of sig
nails, signs of recognition, identitica-
ton, etc, for the new secret society
Just organized at that point. Some
complaint was made that our urbane
host monopoliZed the attention Of the
ladies to the exclusion of the eligible
but more difiident men; but as his
general conduct was beyond reproach
during the entire evening we are in
clined to regard the matter in kindly
spirit. The grounds were brilliantly
Illuminated with Chinese lanterns
and campaign torches, and taking it
all in ali the affair was success.
Among the visitors we note Melvin
Johnson and ladies and Mr.. and Miss
Ewart from River Falls, Mrs. Nettie
Glendenning from Pleasant Valley,
and Mr.. White and Miss Colby from
Prescott. When we get our gaudy
new church carpet spotted over with
roses as big as canvas covered ham
we hope our visitors will come down
and worship with us.

Only a Little Child.

Only an uninterestlng, ragged,
dirty, little newsboy, one of hun
dreds, and it was not until looking
into his bright blue eye that the
uninviting appearance of his dingy
clothes, shrill thin voice, strained by
its constant screaming, was forgot
ten; and one realized this was really
beautiful child.
"Herald?" and a pleading, anx-
ious look in the face seemed to say.
"Please buyw A glance at the bun
die of papers under the arm showed
fortune was going against The little
paper peddler on this stormy night,
and one felt iinpelled to buy of the
poor little waif.
Only a few hours later there was
an interesting case received into the
children's ward of the city hospital.
A little newsboy all broken and
bandaged lay suffering upon one of
the iron cots; and this was the rec
ord of the case given by one in
charge: "The little 'newsy' was the
support of a mother who was a
drunkard. If the child failed to
bring home what money she thought
sufficient, she was very abusive. On
the night of the storm the child
reached his attic to find his mother
half crazed with drink, and in fury
over the small amount of money he
brought with him. She took the
little human mite in her strong arms
and tried to thrust him through the
attic window. She succeeded in
cutting him badly with the broken
glass, but he saved himself from
falling to the pavement far below.
AS he orawled back the same fren-
zied effort was repeated. Again he
saved himself; then when he was
once more within her reach, she
took him and threw him to the floor
and jumped upon him. By this
time the commotion brought other
occupants of the tenement to the
spot and they rescued the child and
handed the woman over to the po-
lice. The child, supposed to be dy-
ing, was taken to the hospital. When
the physician sat beside him, after
he regained consciousness, the doctor
said: Your mother abused you ter
ribly, didn't she?' The little lad
made no reply. The remark was
repeated and the little fellow said:
"Look here, nowl Don't you say
anything against my mother! She'd
be all right if it wasn't for the whis-
key" and the boy absolutely re-
fused to give any testimony against
the miserable creature who so dis
honors the name of woman.
What words can paint the heroism
of that grand little fellow half so
wildly as the simple patience and
forgiveness of his attitude toward
the fallen one. There is, in this in
cident from life among the lowly, to
me a wonderful lesson. IL also gives
me a new reverence for childhood.
We can learn from these little ones.
The soul is in closer communion
with the divine before we harden
with years in the battle eff life.

Too big a load,

We frequently see individuals labor
ing under too heavy load. The
practice is not to be encouraged.
Nothing should be overdone.
The prohibition party, since the
time of its incipiency, away back be-
fore the flood, has done heroic service
from a platform of one plank. Some
ambitious leaders, enYious of others
have been desirious of adding more
lumber to the platform and have adj
vocated the introduction of a financial
policy to form sort of twin CO.
partnership with prohibition. In
their Minnesota convention a financial
resolution was introduced demanding
the ''remOnetizing or demonetizing
of silver" The majority of the
assembled delegation concluded it
was too large question for the pro-
hibition party TO grasp inte ligently
and voted for no innovations.

''For God and Home and Natire Land"
The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1894-07-26

disappointed at the slow manner in
which freight business is returning
to the different roads since the
strike. 1t was expected that freight
traffic would have boom, and that
the roads would be taxed to their
utmost to handle the business after
the lines announced their ability to
again receive and transport all
classes of freight. Shippers of per-
ishable freight are still somewhat
suspicious that the railroads are not
in the best shape to handle their
consignments. Then there are many
points in the west and northwest
that are not open for business yet.
Before the strike freight business
was at a low ebb; now it is almost
nil.
The officials are optimistic, how
ever, and look for a heavy run Of
traffic in week or ten days. Pas
senger business as yet is also very
| light, except on the eastern lines,
which report heavy travel to the
eastern resorts.
