SWEAR off young man. On guZziing
beer; the times are hard, and you
should save; this vile decotion never
gave to any one lasting cheer.
Swear off on selfish thoughts and deeds
his life who lives for self alone is like
a swamp that s overgrown with deadly
vines and noxius weeds. Swear off
on scowls, that dark and deep distOrt
the brows and draw them down; a
smile is better than a frOwn, and you
will find it just as cheap. Swear off on
blowing in a dime for every nickle you
receive. or you will live to mourn and
grieve; swear off buying things on
time. Swear off on lOafing, honest
work will make a palace of your cot:
but fortunes benisons will not encour-
age one to try to shirk Swear off on
all that hurts the mind, or brings cor.
rosion to the heart; rom out your life
let hate depart swear off on all that
is unkind.-Walt Mason.

THERE is a growing sentiment all
over the west in favor of growing
alfalfa. and the farmers of Sumner
county will probably not be behind in
the matter of experimenting in its
culture. 1t seems to be perfectly
adapted to this soil and climate and
experiments have proven it to be the
best paying crop the country produces.
Its seeding and culture is very simple
and no other grass will make as much
or as good feed to the same amount
of ground as it does. Every quarter
section in Sumner county should

THE PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRATS.

1t is evident that the Democratic party ut
Washington does not yet know its own mind
about the tariff. Its journals are forced to ad-
nit that the elaborate reports recently sent out
from that place describing the new bill which
Is coming from the Senate committee had no
better basis than the gucsscs Of correspondents
or members, for even the members Of the COM
mittee themselves do OF yet know what they
will report. One journal quotes Democratic
Senator, said to have superior sources Of in
formation as saying: II doubt very much. II
any member Of the subcommittee could name
one change ut this moment which Is sure to be
reported to the Finance Committee" And af-
ter that committee has decided the Senate has
yet to decide.
The task Of the subcommittee Is to find out
what kind Of bill can be passed The inter
ests Of the country even as Democratic Sen
ators conceive them, must take d secondary
place. The first thing is to know how votes
enough can be secured for any radical change
According to reports telegraphed from Wash
ington, Senator's from Louisiana and from coal
and iron producing States have not hesitated
to tell the committee that they will not vote
for the bill II it strikes n blow at certain pro
ducers. But there are also Senators who insist
that the bill must raise revenue enough to meet
the expenditures Of the Government, and the
imposition of the income tax Is by some strongly
opposed, although 1t is in perfect harmony with
the hcresies which have been taught for many
years by Western and Southern Democrats.
Out Of this strife of opposing interests 1t Is
expected that bill, differing In some respects
from the one passed by the House, will pres
emily emerge with the approval Of the com.
