1t does not pay to tell tales against
your own state. Some of our statesmen
have been compiling exaggerated mort
gage statements concerning Kansas, for
campaign speeches. Some of these
were taken to Washington, incorporated
into populist speeches, and filed in pig
con holes of congress. On the 18th ult.
the irrigation bill was before congress.
1t donated government lands to certain
States to encourage them in lrrigating
arid lands. Congressman Curtis, of
Kansas, and delegate Flynn, of Oklaho-
ma, both republicans, asked that their
commonwealth be added to the num-
Der. A member from Indiana raised
objection to Kansas on the grounds that
this State was hopelessly insolvent, and
could make no use of the lands if given
her. In support of this view he brought
forth from pigeon hole one of those
stuffed and padded mortgage statements.
Curtis made gallant fight for his State,
tudt tuC dCtuut uCUtS Va hdUSdS
did not exceed one-fourth the amount
indicated by the statement. 1t was of
no use, however, Kansas had to 60 un-
der. while Oklahoma captured her gov
eminent lands without difficulty. Okla
homa is represented by republican,
who never disparages his own state
There are over one million acres of un-
claimed government land in Kansas.
More than six hundred thousand acres
of this are in the Dodge City district,
yet our member made no move towards
helping Curtis, though he went all the
way to Washington to reverse his record
on the anti-option bill 1t has now de-
yeloped that Jerry Simpson furnished
the false statement which knocked us
out of getting the government land to
aid irrigation.

Alabama held election last month and
went democratic by about 900 In
formation also reached us that the Dutch
have captured Holland. Some of our pop
ulist friends.h had chimerical notion that
they were going to break into the solid
south and Alabama was going to be their
banner state, but the ex-brigadiers have
very effectually punctured that bubble by
their little returning boards. The pops
would do we'll to first join with the repub-
licans in compelling free election and
fair count before they aspire to capture
any more southern states.

How sweet her last repose!
The wife and mother sleeps,
Secure from mortal woes,
At rest where no eye weepS,
Long she endured the mortal strife,
And chung with tender love to life
And those whom life had made so dear;
Her household had her constant care,
The church her daily fervent prayer.
OF nearing death she had no fear.
How calm her last repose.
The wife and mother sleeps;
Plant OH her bed a rose
Where bending willows weep.
She's filled life's humble station well,
And many hearts will love to dwell
On deeds of love which she has done,
Among the thrOng on yOn Blessed hight
Where shadows dim no more the light
Will those be found whom she has won.
How blessed her last repOse.
The wife and mother sleeps.
Sweet is the rest of those:
Whose bed kind Heaven keeps.
Weep not for her who in the Lord
Has found how sweet that heavenly
word
Which speaks faithful dying blessed
Think of the triumph she has won,
Think of the blessed mansion home
The dazzling crown, the blissful rest
How sweet her last repOse,
The wife and mother sleeps
Secure from mortal woes,
At rest where no eye weeps.
Lies seeming dream will soon be DER,
Its sun in night will set no more
For lowering clouds their shadows cast,
Beyond the rolling surges main,
Ties which were severed knit again,
And lifes deep wounds are healed at
last

Religious Department.
To 4 Young Christian.
By Rev. Edgar f. Davidson.

By Rev. Edgar f. Davidson.
My DEAR FRIEND.-My great interest
in you, as one just entering upon the
Christian life, prompts me to write you
a few words of counsel, hoping that they
may be blessed of God in helping you to
a decided christian experience and to
useful christian life.
First, would urge the habit of secret
prayer.-not few formal sentences at
morning and night, but long CONVEX
sation with the Master, in which you tell
him your hopes and fears, and ask his
guidance in all your plans of life. Be-
come intimate with the Lord Jesus, and
take hin, with you into your studies, your
work, your recreations. When tried or
tempted, cry quickly to him for help.
He has said, $50, am with you always"
and again, ''God is faithful. who will
not suffer you to be tempted above that
We are able, but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape This way
of escape is by prayer. There is an old
hymn which reads
"Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees"
This is because Satan knows that the
weak saint is coming into communication
WITH almighty strength.
Second, you need to become an earnest
diligent student of Gods Word. A care
less or superficial reading of a few verses
or a chapter every day, is not enough.
You must study the Bible in order to un-
derstand it. Study it as you study arith.
metic, algebra or any other branch of
science that you might wish to master,
1t is we'll to read with pencil in hand to
mark such verses as are most helpful.
As you read, let God speak to you
through the sacred pages. Know that
it is his word to you, that the promises
are real. Thus your faith will grew
strong, for s'faith cometh by hearing,
the word of Cod If you neglect your
Bible you will surely become weak and
doubling. -
Thirdly, be busy in persona. work for
the Master. 1t is good rule to do some
thing for Jesus every day, to speak
word to some friend, to invite some one
to church service on the Lords Day or
to the week-night meeting. to call
upon upon sick one. or to help some
poor family. There is . multitude Of
ways IN which to serve the Master, and
