WORK AND HOPE.

How SPEAKS the present hour? Act:
Walk upward glancing;
SO shall thy footsteps in glory be
traced,
Slow, but advancing.
scorn not the smallness Of daily Ell
dcavor,
Let the great meaning ennoble il
ever;
Droop not DER efforts expanded in
vain;
Work, as believing that labor is gain.
What does the future say Hope
Turn thy face sunward
Look where the light tr.nges the far
rising slope.
Day cometh onward
Watch. though - long be the twilight
delaying,
Let the first sunbeam arse Oh thee
praying
Fear not. tor greater is God by thy
side
Thaa armies Of Satan against thee al
lied.

astonishment of both brothers when

nights in succession. when each re.

FRIEND OF THE TURKEYS.
A California Farmer Provides the Birds
with Crutohes.

Capt, Bridge, Of Du Page county,
who has an extensive reputation In
that district as cultivator of high
class poultry, has developed q very
philanthropic spirit toward his wards.
Recently he noticed q peculiar dis
ease spreading among the turkeys, 1t
exhibited Itself by u gradual swelling
in the legs from the thigh, or the time
honored and much-respected drum
stick" SO popular among youngsters
about Thanksgiving time. 1t spread
down the legs, and in few days the
turkey unfortunate enough TO be
afflicted was unable to walk with that
proud, naughty step 50 frequen tly en-
ployed by this royal bird.
The captain found that by regular
hot water applications the swelling
could be reduced, but this manner Of
treating was so slow that the patient
wns compelled to lead q life of idleness,
much to his disgust, At times the cap
tain would have several of his fattest
birds IN the hospital and 1t required al

most all his attention to give them the
hot water treatment. This state OF Of
fairs went on for some time, when
finally nc was inspired to introduce q
little Yankee ingenuity into the flock,
and being rather handy with his pock-
etknife, he fashioned a crude pair Of
crutches about seven inches In length
and secured them under the turlsoy's
wings. They wore just fraction long
er than the birds legs and every time
the rheumatic would take a step for
ward the crutches would be brought
into play, and progress, instead of be-
ing torture, was q pleasure.
In few hours the cripples became
familiar with the new order OF things
and were able to hobble around tho
yard at a more rapid gait.
Almost any time during damp wealth
er, when the rheumatism is on, one can
sec half a dozen turkeys on crutches at
Capt Bridges farm. They are learn
Ing some new tricks of late, but, SO far,
are not sufficiently expert to ay up and
light on the fence,

washington, February l, 1895.
President Cleveland would much pre-
fer that congress would pass bill,
either in accordance with the recon-
mendations contained in his special
message, or with its own ideas of what
ought to be done to enable the govern
mcnt to redeem its promises to pay
when presented; but if congress does
nothing, he does not propose to sit idle
and see the credit of the government
injured by the lack of gold to redeem its
notes. He has given congress last
chance to act, but If such leading mem
bers of the senate as Vest and Sherman
do not misjudgo the situation, the
senate is tied hand and foot and cannot
act, even if the house passes the bill
now before the committee on banking
and currency, which proposes to carry
the recommendations of the president
into effect. That being the case, it may
be set down as certain that President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle will act.
They will issue more bonds to get the
gold to redeem the grecnbacks and
treasury notes, under the specie reSump-
ton act of 1875, and the president has
said that he would continue to issue
bonds as often as gold is required until
congress relieves the situation by legis-
lation.
