For a Discouraged Farmer.

The summer winds is snufnn' round the
bloomin locus trees
And the q over in the Lastur is a big day for
the bees.
And they've been a-swiggin honey above
board and on the sly,
Till they stutter in their buZZin and staggeT
as they ny
They S been a heap o. rain but the suns out
to-day,
And the clouds of the wet spell is all cleared
away.
And the woods is all the greener and the
glass is greener still,
1t may rain again to mOrTy, but don't thiak
il will.
Some say the crops are ruined and the com's
drowned out,
And prophesy the wheat will be a failure
without doubt,
But the kind Providence that has never failed
US yet
VIII be on hand ono { more at the leyenth
hour, bet
Does the meadow lark complain as he swims
high and dry
Through the waves OF the wind and the blue
of the SKYE
Does the quail set up and whistle in disap-
pointed way,
Err hang his head in silence and sorrow all
the day?
Is the chipmunk's health faiiureP Does he
walk or does he run?
Don't the buzzards ooze around up there just
as they've allus done?
Is there anything the matter with the
ROSTERS lungs OF voice?
0rt mortal be e0mplainin' when dumb ami
mails rejoice?
Then let US, one aud all. be content with our
lots
The June is here this morning and the sun Is
shining hot.
oh. let US fiji our hearts with the glory Of the
day.
And Danish ey'ry doubt and care and sorrow
FAR away
Whatever be our station, with providence for
a guide.
Such fine circumstances ort to make US salts
fed
For the world Is fun OF roses and the roses
full Of dew
And the dew IS fun of heavenly love that
drips for me and YOU.

A Fatal Dram.

1t was a small village in Dakots
where farmer Pelton went to buy
what few groceries his little family
required.
He was in the prime of life, and
with his young wife, had but recent
ly sought the far west to make them
a home. He was frugal, industrious
and honest, a conscientious, God
fearing man.
One cold afternoon with a threat
ening leaden sky, Git was winter
Pelton was in the village, and
having to get some articles at the
little drug store, it happened that
this was the last errand he had to do
before starting for home. Hurrying
through with this, anxious to be on
his way home for it was getting late,
he had started for the door when
the druggist called to him and said
he must take extra precautions to
guard against the cold on his ride
home as it threatened blizzard,
and so persistently urged that he
drink a good stout thimble-full of
old Bourbon whisky to heat him up,
Il at, although he was not in the
habit of drinking, he took it, think
ing that perhaps it might fortify
him to better stand the eight miles
ride, with the thought that at all
events it could do no harm.
How quickly he felt the warming
effects of the liquor. He had gone
but half a mile on his journey when
he felt that the liquor was having a
very happy effect, making him feel
that he could stand a hundred
billiards..
The wind rose, and the snow
began to thicken, making an i'm
penetrable white blackness." On
ward he pressed, urging his good
horse to a brisker pace. Furious
the wind blew. Faster came the
snow, and he more closely pulled
his thick wraps around him and
nestled lower in the wagon bed.
His grasp on the driving reins
grew more slack, and overcome with
drowsiness the reins finally dropt
loosely over the dashboard; yet the
good horse pressed on, knowing well
the road.
AT last the home was reached.
The loving wife anxiously waiting
and watching eagerly, came to the
door. She called John but no re-
Spouse. She found him cold and
lifeless. There was grief, but who
can describe ii?
In the morning he went from her
in the strength of his manhood. In
the evening shorn of strength, his
life, his inanimate clay returns to
her; and although the neighbors be-
lieved, as the village paper stated,
that he was frozen to death, yet
science with unerring certainty and
absolute truth points to the glass of
liquor as the primary cause of the
desolation of that prairie home.
How many there are who believe
and teach that rum will keep a man
warm when the truth is, it only be-
numbs the sensibilities and al dis the
cold in stagnating the life current

Assemblyman A. II. Hall. of Dunn
county, and chairman of the republic
can congressional committee, is in
the city looking after some political
and business matters. Mr.. Hall is
one of the powers in the republican
party in this district. Speaking of
Mr.. Haugen's popularity, he said:
Mr.. Haugen has more friends in his
own party than any other man in
active politics that | have ever known.
In our section it would be hard to find
respectable fraction of the voters
who would not take off their coats for
Mr.. Haugen for any Office he might
aspire to. He has been faithful and
interchangeable worker for the interests
of his constituents, and has given his
personal attention to their desires in
every question, no matter how unim-
pOrLant il might be to the general
public. This feeling is irrespective of
nationality. There are only a few
Scandinavians in my town, yet 80 per
cent. of the Republicans are for
Haugen."

As Hon. Nils p. Haugen has an
noulced his candid }ey for the republic
can nomination as governor. the
Tenth congressional district should
give him its solid delegation i'm the
nominating convention and use every
honorable means known TO politicians
to secure his nomination. As a repre-
sentative in congress, he has taken
high rank, being regarded as one OF
the brainiest men in the House: and
should he be nominated and elected
as governor. the state will have an
able executive whose influence will
always be on the right side.

"Idleness is the devils workshop
While some of the prevalent lawless-
ness is assignable to the condition
above assumed, great deal Of the
formidable and organized resistance
to statute laws and the established
order of society in many states is not
referable TO the condition of enforced
idleness. The coal strikers had work
at what most people would consider
good pay, $500 day. These riots
could be and should be promptly sup
pressed by the authorities. The ex-
pensc of dalliance is greater than the
prompt and effective appliance OF
adequate force. The sympathy of
selfish politicians has much TO do with
these irruptiye disturbances, and the
longer the hesitancy of authorities
exists the greater is the temptation
to lawlessness and terrorism. The
sympathy expressed with anarchistiC
tendencies 10y the populist leaders i'm
Colorado is menace TO the peace and
prosperity of the state. The sensible
people of the state are waiting for an
opportunity to decide which is the
more formidable, the weight of the
people or the weight of Waite. An
intimation that there are sensible
and law respecting people in Colorado
is noticeable in the report from
Denver OF the occurrence in leading
church last Sunday. The Rev. Myron
Reed well known in this state, and
who has evidently been Fishing" for
votes as well as souls said in his
sermon:
1.-The deputy sheriff With his Win
chester, who through pinch of poverty
or politics, or perhaps both, has en-
listed at s. a day does not quite know
what he is doing. The miner up on
the barricaded hill has deep sense
that he was there first. My heart
goes out to him.
About half the audience walked
out to show their disapprobation,
and we may reasonably assume that
these were that part of The audience
which had any adequate idea of the
political situation.
