Preparing For q Gaming.

Kit Alexander had been warned sew
eral times for breaches of school disci-
pline and vas mt length reported to the
head master, who gave him a final
warning. One night not long after Kit
was again caught in mischief, and he
felt that this time he was Tin for it. !"
A f1ogging by the doctor was no joke,
and Kit determined to make what prep
aration he could that the wind might
be tempered to the shorn lamb.
On rising the next morning he put
on first his undershirt, then a layer of
stiff brown paper, then his jerseys, upon
these a sweater and over all q clean
white shirt, borrowed from his chum.
whose clothing was two sizes larger
than his own. Lastly he put ON his coat
and vest.
1t vas a very hot day in June, and at
morning intermission Kit whispered to
a friend: ''I'm nearly stifed. I hope
he'll give it to me now"
But the doctor said nothing, and Kit
went on stewing until dinner time. He
felt half inclined to dispense at least
with the sweater before afternoon school,
but fear of the doctors cane deferred
him.
All through the afternoon he suffered
untold misery, hopping his face until
his handkerchief would mop no more.
But at length, just before dismissal,
came a messenger. "The doctor would
like to see Alexander in his study"
On entering the study the boy saw
the supple, snakelike cane lying OH the
table.
"Well, Alexander, " said the doctor,
II can go on warning you no longer.
You have brought this upon yourself.
But as it is your first visit here for such
a purpose l shall make your punish
ment somewhat milder. Hold out your
hand; four on each!'-Youth's Com
panion.

Again the sensational correspondents
Of the daily papers are beginning to re-
vamp the old Judge Kellam and Tay-
lor incident which has been gone over
about a thousand times before and as
often satisfactorily explained to all
right thinking people, and which, there.
fore, will soon become the tale of woe of
the Argus Leader. 1t is revived this
time by Charlie Cooper formerly score
try of the senate who is political cor
respond ent for the Minneapolis Journal.
In this connection, however, Charlie
tells a new incident which is apparently
60 true to life that we cannot fail to give
it. He says:
Another gentleman, who has, until
Taylor's return, deceived the state
officers and members Of the legislature
ss to his relations with Taylor, Is s. r.
Gold, OF Grant county, who was a mem
bar OF the last legislature and who was
chairman on the part of the house Of the
Taylor Investigating committee. Gold,
it is now discovered, owed Taylor $500,
which had not, up to the time Of his re
turn, been paid. His conduct in accept
ing a position on the investigating COM
nittee and calling before that committee
ex-Gov. Mellette, Judge Kellam and
others, who were indebted to the ex-
treasurer, causing them to sweat blood
while on the witness stand, and at the
same time being guilty OF the offense
they were charged with, is denounced by
the state ofiicers.and every one who ID
acquainted with the facts in the state.
Mr.. Gold was always considered a rather
foxy gentleman, but his action in this
matter Is considered as pressing tt
limit.

A Sioux Falls dispatch Of the 9th
inst. sums up the dolngs OF the state al
lance very conclusively as follows:
Farmers alliance yesterday elected
officers as follows: President, H. w.
Smith, Sioux Falls; vice president, P. r.
Cruthers, of Kingsbury county; secre.
tary, Miss Irene Kidd, of Aberdeen;
member of the executive board, B. F.
Wright, OF Moody county. A committe Q
wa appointed to adopt suitable resolu-
tions touching the death Of Robert Blu.
ohanan, Judge Isaac Howe and E. p.
Censor. The platform adopted on ma
tional issues is the same as that Of last
year. On state issues the platform de-
clares against the open saloon, de-
nounces the corrupt and and extrava-
giant administration Of our state affairs,
and demands a thorough Investigation of
every department." The next two
planks are in full as follows:
Fifth-We denounce the present state
administration for its utter failure to en-
force our laws for the protection OF the
home; it's evident desire to compound
felony and provide.punishment for crimes
against the state by the minimum OF
penalty for the maximum of ~offense.
Sixth-Citizenship should be a badge
o. honor and not a brand of bestiality.
We deplore the practice OF our state ex
ecutive in trying to make our fair young
commonwealth a raplst's paradise by
the pardoning of q class of criminals
who have been convicted Of the most
heinous offenses against the person,
under the disgraceful. plea OF Saving
their citizenship"

Many years ago 1.-The Wizard of the

Of the crowd who went to see them. As
he was making his way in he felt some-
thing at his coattail, and putting his
hand into his pocket he found an egg.
This he took out and most adroirly
transferred it to the pocket of q young
man just in front of him, a person as
unlike himself as can we'll be imagined.
Arrived in the hall, he remarked where
this young man placed himself and
chose his own scar IN q corner as remote
as possible. When the time came for

Toward tho end Of 1886 he took up
his abode in Cambridge, where he was
to reside for the rest of bis life-for 45
years. He was made to feel at home in
the society Of the scholars who cluster

center Of culture in the country. His
work for the college was not so exact

The impulse to write poetry returned,

Africans Don't Want Rum.

Africans llOn't Want Rum.
A missionary ut Gaboon, Africa,
writes the following:
Yesterday as l was passing through
u town a man stopped me to talk. I
told him that he was under the influence
of rum and he must not drink it any
more"
This was his answer:
well, l wish you ministers would
write a letter across the big sea and tell
them not to send US any more rum"
1t is the universal testimony Of mis-
s,onaries everywhere that the importa-
ton Of intoxicating drinks is one Of the
greatest obstacles to the success OF their
work, and they are praying that the
Christian men Of England and America
may work as well as pray for the exter.
mination of the liquor traffic and thus
hasten the coming Of Christ's kingdom
throughout the world.

The Drunkard Nations.

The saloon is not q Christian institu-
ton, but as an institution it is found
only in Christian lands. Or, il 1t be
found in heather lands, like Turkey.
China or India, it is established by men
from professed Christian nations. Thus
the heathens have come to speak OF
Christian nations as drunken nations;
and it is q shameful fact that all Christ
ian nations are drunken nations; and
worse than that, as Christians transform
a heather nation into a Christian ma
ton, it becomes a drunkard nation.
This is no fault of the Christian man, or
of the Christian elements OF Christian
nations. Drunkenness is abominaSle to
the Christian, while the laws, spirit and
preccpts of this religion are wholly an
tagonistic to the habit of drink. But
what a reflection is this on Christian
lands! How greatly it must rstard the
work Of Christian missionaries to con-
front saloons in lands where they seek
to Introduce the gospel, which are open
ed and sustained by men from the lands
whence the missionaries come! We
confess hat it is much to the credit of
nations OF other religions, like Buddhism,
C~onfucianIsm and Mohammedanism,
that intemperance has been kept beyond
their borders, at least until they were
temporarily subdued by Christian ma
tions. Blu. for the abominable habits
introduced by men from Christian ma
tions, the fruits Of Christian work in
heather lands to day would, doubtless,
be fourfold greater than they are. The
u for surprise is found in the fact
that Christianity has any hold whatever

] DISEASED ALL OVER. A Man Who Thought He Could
 Never Be Cured, But the. Electropoise Relieved His I Nervous Rigors and Made Him Brand New Man.

Knowing the amount of suffering there is in the world feel it my duty to, add my testimonial to that of thousands of others as to the efficiency of the Electro poise. I was ten or twelve years afflicted so that I was not able to do any kind of business. I seemed to be diseased all over there being hardly a day but what I had nervous rigors, which would apparently tear me all to pieces, and these rgors would be followed by cramps, which ex- tended all over my body, and which would last from four to six hours.
 I procured an Electropoise two and a half years ago, and after using 1t some time I experienced great relief. l use it now for everything that ails me.

AN INTELLECTUAL TREAT.
The Entertainment for the Episcopal Church
 Sunday School at Woodlawn.

The entertainment for the Episcopal Sunday school at Woodlawn last night was rare intellectual treat. A large and appreciative audience gathered in Bur riss' hall. Mir. Giles sang a song of his own composition. Mrs. L. l.. Buck gave an instrumental solo. Miss Kate Nor row gave musical reading, and received an encore. Miss Mae Johnson recited "Genevra." Miss Lucy Morrow had se- lected the same piece, and it was certain ly a remarkable coincidence that both the fair readers should have made the same selection from the wide realm of literature. The friends of Miss Morrow insisted that she proceed with the same selection, which she did, giving it with as much spirit and art as she did at the high school commencement last spring. In response to an encore she recited "Furl That Banner" It is with regret that the many friends and admirers of Miss Lucy Morrow learn that she will spend the winter in Chicago perfecting herself for the dramatic profession, but the regret at her absence will be mingled with pride when she wins the laurels that her fenlarka ble talents ensure.
