Others are beginning TO estimate the total
damage done by the floods throughout
the northwest. A number of conser-
vative men have placed the amount i'm
the neighborhood OF 30. 600. ZOO. IL is es-
timated that the floods and washouts of
tracks and loss OF business will cause a
loss of at least 100000 each to the
Great Northern and Canadian Pacific
roads and nearly as mech to he Northern
Pacific. Railway men here think it will
take the Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific month to finally repair their
tracks, and the Northern Pacific nearly as

an who, in a point of high achieve
ment, or in active morality, or intel
lect, shall leave q strong impress on
our nation. A number of the late
scions of these families are considered
in a way remarkable for not being
vicious, and for possessing a fair in
telhgence and ability that in some
cases amounts almost to talent. Yet
side by side with these few personages,
we can place an army of robust chill
dren of the soil, strong with genius

heads in a ridiculous humility to the
idlers Of the woodland the idlers of
the world are entertaining US, and in
spring our awe and admiration by tell
ing us how neither they, their parents
or their grandparents ever worked!
Virtually this means a confession
that they are greatly lacking in men

through the negligence of their ances-
tors to provide them with the rightful
inheritance, which only comes from

He Had . Preference.

The tenderfoot from the east had
been invited to drink at the Red
Gulch bar by large-sized cowboy, and
under the inspiring influence of a.
ugly-looking revolver he had accepted
and ranged himself alongside the
counter. He picked up the glass ner-
vously, the cowboy watching him
fercely and toying with his gun, and
tasted it Then he put it down again.
Drink" growled the cowboy.
81 guess not" replied the tenderfoot.
We'll, 1 guess yes" said the cowboy,
drawing his revolver.
The tenderfoot took one look at the
glass of liquor and squared himself be-
fore his host.
Shoot" he said in a tone of com.
mand, I'D rather be shot than drink
that stuff" and the cowboy embraced
the tenderfoot and began to shoot the
bottles off the shelf.-Detroit Free

Ing on the subject. Meanwhile, many
people who stand firmly for the OBJ
servance of the commandment to
s'Keep the Sabbath day holy" forget
the preceding equally positive injunc-
tion: ''Six days shalt thou labor" It
is a wonder TO me that the clergy
men who preach so vigorously ON the
necessity of observing the Sabbath
30 seldom mention the necessity of la
boring six days to their wealthy con-
gregations.
1t would be easy to understand the
foreigners respect for generations of
Idle people, if history proved to US that
generations of leisure and freedom from
care bred people of higher culture and
refinement. 1t would seem to the
toiler as if this should be the natural
result. The man and the woman who
have nothing to do but cultivate their
tastes and talents, to rest when they
are weary, to hear beautiful music, TO
see beautiful pictures, ought certainly
to bring a higher order of child in the
world than the common burdened
'toilers, or the worried business man,
who can only allow his wife an occa-
sional pleasure or luxury. And the
third generation of luxuriously reared
beings ought to be something very un-
usual, indeed But we look about US
