Dorothy and Dolly.

My really mamma has all all goned out
calling, dolly, with all her bestest clothes
on. She said it was such beautiful
day that not much womans that she is
acquainted of would be at home, so she'd

some womans come to see my mamma, an

an they could go to half huff places if

anyway when my really mamma coined

said they was so glad she happunged to be
there.
An then one womans said: "Wait till I

FAMILY CARES.

On still hunt after quail's nest the
other day among lot of brush where
knew one was secreted I came upon a
pretty sight. On dropping eucalyptus
branch, in plain sight from where, field
glass in hand, was crouched beside a
tangle of southernwood, were two tiny
song-sparrows. They had evidently lust
come off the nest and were much
agitated over this their first outlook upon
the world. They were pretty birdlings,
striped brown and white, like their anxious
mamma, who lowered about them in a
great twitter.
When she saw me she was visibly agi-
tated and set up peculiar cry, which I
took to be call for her mate. He, however,
did not appear, circumstance at which I
wondered greatly, for in weIl-regulated

Sandpile Luxury.

Perhaps only small proportion of the
City children can spend the summer days
upon the sands of the seashore, though it
would seem quite reasonable if the Super
visors and other great men should stop
wrangling over trifes and provide for a
matter of such Importance.
That question aside. it would seem that
there is no reason why the domestic sand
pile should remain luxury for children
OF fortune.
To be sure city child may be kept alive
without the sandpile, but with the sbso-
lutte freedom of a sandpile every day of its
life child may actually be happy and as
healthy as every little animal has right
one greatly favored youngster has a
shallow tub of water sunk into the edge of
his sand-world, and here he can sail his
small boats, moisten his "cakes" and
with never a restraining Don't" or
"StopP'
This same happy child has little pile of
bricks, and some nice smooth boards In
his small kingdom, or, better, his construc-
ton department. And there is room In
that sandpile, even when the proprietor
has company, TO lay out an entire ranch
and to bring it to high state OF cultiva-
ton.
Avenues of waving twigs, orchards that
bear no fruit, pastures that unruly live
stock can be barred up in, houses, barns
and haystacks, all are arranged by the
busy hands that call all labor play when il
is not compulsory and shows results.
1t is a pity, indeed. that any child
should not know waving trees, singing
birds. green fields, gay blossoms, all the
dear delights of the world that God has
made. But to limit the child's pleasures
to the contemplation of the paving stones,
the gazing from the window at the sordid
and frivolous passers-by, is cruel and MUIR
derous, no matter if the little one is cos
TUNED like Little Lord Fauntleroy and
"taken care of" to the utter ruin of his
mental, moral and physical nature.

The little ones which grow up to be the
sort of men and women the world is kinder
to than to others-because the world has
most need of them-may be grouped under
the head of "out-of-door children" They
are not the "pale and ailing," engrossed
with little pains aud aches, and prone to
drugs and liniments. The medicine they
get is a permanent daily feature of their
lives; and if it were possible to find it bot

They Didn't Think.

Once a trap was baited
With piece of cheese:
1t tickled SO little mouse
1t almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said: There's danger,
Be careful where you gor'
Nonsenser' said the other,
d 1 do not think you know"
So he walked in boldly
Nobody in sight;
First he took nibble,
Then he took bite.
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mousie fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once little turkey,
Fond Of her own way,
wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to go or stay;
She said I" I'm not baby,
Here 1 am half-grown;
Surely am big enough
To run about alonep'
On she went, but somebody
Hiding saw her pass;
Soon like snow her feathers
Uttered all the grass.
So she made a supper
For sly young mink,
Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
/" No, no." said the mother,
" You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in the tree"

And gave his head a ding,

Know quite everything
Down he few. and kitty seized him
Before he'd time to blink.
Oh he said, " I'm sorry,
But didn't think"
Now my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes of thinking wrong?
And can't you take warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late?
Don't think there's always safety
Where no danger shows,
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows;
But when you're warned of ruin
Pause upon the brink,
And don't go under headlong.
Cause you didn't think.

We are not opposed to socialism-yet
as a practical solution of present day
problems, concerning people who av-
erage considerably lower than the an

nounce socialism too far in the future.
There are many bold practical prob

We must deal with actual people and
practical questions until the ideal peo-

The Declaration Of Independence and
the Omaha platform contain probably
as much socialism as will be realized
within the next hundred years.
However, If the whole world should
be converted to practical Christianity
sooner than that, thus rendering So
cialism possible, so much the better.

Milwaukee Advance: At the great
st. Louis conference of labor and re-
form organizations where the organlza-
ton was affected that resulted in the
Omaha convention, Miss Frances Will
lard was an honored guest and by
courtesy was made member Of the
committee on resolutions. This COM
mittee was very large, having more
than 100 members, and very strong
fight was made by Miss Willard and
other prohibitlonists in favor Of plac-
ing prohibition plank in the platform.
The fight lasted from II o'clock p. m.
until about 3 o'clock in the morning,
and the principal contestants were Miss
Willard on one side and Robert Schill-
Ing on the other. The latter held that
prohibition was not only a violation Of
personal liberty but impracticable and
that 1t could not be enforced as long
as poverty drove people to drink. His
argument was that people well fed and
well educated needed no prohibition
and that drunkenness was the result
OF misery and restitution.
I Miss Willard seems to have adopted
this view now. We find ths following
sentence quoted in the Representative,
Ignatius Donnelly's paper;
We used to say intemperance was the
cause Of poverty. Now we have COM
pleted the circle of truth by saying
poverty causes intemperance, and the
under-paid, under-sheltered wage
earning teetotaler deserves a thousand
times more credit than the teeetotaler
who is well paid, we'll fed and we'll
sheltered. In the slums they drink to
forget We should make life some
thing they would gladly remember; so
would you. Our objects are the same.
Let us clasp hands in the unity of spirit
and the bond of peace.
All honor to Miss Willard. If every
one OF our prohibition friends would
take the same position, a union of re-
form forces would be easily accomS
plished,

A Goldbur Blnndor.

The goldbug papers,in their suddenly
developed derision for the Horr-Har-
vey debate, are charging that it was
mere money-making scheme to sell
books for Mr.. Harvey. Since they
challenged Harvey themselves and
went to New York after Horn and
brought him to Mr.. Harvey's home,
Chicago, it seems little strange that
they should go so far out of their way
and do so much to further the sale Of
Mr.. Harvey's books. And now, to cap
the climax, comes a publication Of an
assignment by Mr.. Harvey Of all prof
its from the sale of the book containing
the debate to the silver committee, to
be used in promoting the cause. These
goldbugs had as we'll come down of
their perch and confess that they have
blundered and made bad bargain.
