Do ALL THE GOOD you CAN.

Neither mendicants nor millionaires
are the happiest of mankind The man
who has good business, and who can
make a reasonable living and lay
aside something for the future. who
can educate his children and can leave
enough to keep the wolf of want from
the door of those he loves, ought to
be the happiest of men. The time will
come when the truly intelligent man
cannot be happy, cannot be satisfied
when millions of his fellow men are
hungry and naked.
Man will be civilized when the pas
sions are dominated by the intellectual.
when reason occupies the throne, and
when. the hot blood of passion no lon
ger rises in successful revolt To civil
lize the world, to hasten the coming of
the golden dawn of the perfect day.

ALL THINGS SERVE THEE.

Thou usest tree and flower,
The rivers vast and small;
The eagle great, the little bird
That sings upon the wall.
The huge rock in the vale,
The sand grain by the sea;
The thunder of the rolling cloud,
The murmur of the bee.
All things do serve Thee here,
All creatures, great and small;
Make use of me, of me, my God,
The weakest of them all.

DOES THE HoUsEwoRK.

Mrs. Bland does all the work of the
household, no house servant being en-
ployed. One hired man looks out for
the farm, and with true democracy
he eats his meals with the family. Or
dinarily the ex-congressman helps with
the farm work, but just now he is de-
voting much of his time to political
matters Mrs. Bland can hitch up old
Molly or old Peter, the two horses on

LEGISLATION.

To suppress the evil we must remove
the cause. There is only one way to
destroy vicious legislation, and that is
to let the people legislate for them
selves by means of the referendum
whenever they think themselves ag-
grieved. Direct legislation gives the
direct blow to bribery, for there is no
use to bride the lawmakers if the peo-
pie can at any time upset vicious legis-
lation by an appeal to the ballot box

ready to sell it for the value of the
improvements. He says that he is not
successful as farmer, because of his
many years of service in Washington
as congressman. His farm suffered by
his absence.
Mr.. BANDS family consists of his
wife and six children. Ten children
were born TO them, but four of them
died. The eldest is Miss Fannie Bland,
a girl of 10, who is being educated in
Washington. Theodore, a boy of H.
comes next, and he is at school at St.
Louis. The home children are Hugh
aged IA; George Vest Bland aged II;
John, aged Z, and the baby Virginia
Elizabeth, aged g. The home children
run about barefooted, are healthy and
strong, and would make the White
house a scene of continual excitement if
their father ever got there.
Mr. Bland is 81 years old. and his
wife is 49. She has a placid, quiet
face, with large blue eyes. Her hair
is generally worn parted in the middle,
and any painter would be glad to have
her pose for him were he painting
picture of the Madonna. She is re-
markable for woman whose husband
has presidential aspirations. Her can
did and frequently expressed opinion
is that his chances of landing in the
White house are mighty slim She
does not like politics or political life,
and the possibility of her reigning in
the White house does not dazzle her a
bit. She would rather live en- the farm
in Lebanon. She is vastly more in
terested in the well being of the farm
animals than in the condition of her
husbands campaign, and the fact that
old Molly, the horse, was sick, would
appeal more strongly to her than the
news of some backset to her husbands
campaign.

Destiny is kind to our esteemed
brother of the Independent. A couple
of weeks ago he changed the location
of his Office and after he located he
found that he was right next to the
village well-a matter over which he
made merry on account of not having
to carry water so far. People re-
marked at the time that the question
of water was never allowed to enter
his inner regions. And now, on
Wednesday night of last week, destiny
or nature again came to his assistance.
The clouds sent down rain in copious
showers and when the editor got
around to his sanctum he found that
he had more water than he needed.
His Office was very wet It was not
until a more effervescing fluid was
brought in that the editor cooled down
and allowed Nature to take it's course.

The Origin Of .Windfali

Tho origin Of the expression, wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to Il streak of good luck, dates
back to the time Of William the Con
lucror. At that time it was a crimin-
al offense to cut timber In the British
forests without royal consent. All
that could be gathered for fuel or 9th
er purposes was such limbs as the
wind should happen to break off and
east to the ground. On this account
the peasants hailed great windstorm
as blessing, because it was apt to
cast enough Of ''windfalls" for winter
fire wood. From the old-time forestry
custom comes the modern application
Of the expression. At one time it was
decreed that only such limbs and
whole trees as should fall during the
three summer months could be used as
fire wood: but the injustice Of the act
was SO plainly apparent that no at
tempt was ever made to enforce it.
