What Rum Will Do

Rum will scorch and scar the brain,
Rum will mad the heart with pain;
Rum will bloat the flesh with fire,
And eternal thirst inspire.
NJ axe you walk crooked track,
Change your meat to naked bones,
And to wrath your tones.
Rum will rob the head of sense,
Rum will rob the purse of pence;
Rum will rob the mouth of food,
And the soul of Heavenly good.
Rum the jails with men will fill,
And the dungeons gloomy cell;
It rouses PASSIONS deadly hate,
And pours it's curses DER the State.
Rum the Christians love will cool,
Make him break the golden rule,
Bind his soul to errors bands,
And to evil turn his hands.

Horse Dies From Grief.

The emotional life Of horse is re-
markable. There are instances on rec
ord where the death of the horse has
been traced directly to grief. One in
stance is called to mind, which occurred
more than 20 years ago. A circus had
been performing in the little town of
Unionville, Pa, when one of the trained
horses sprained one of his legs so that
he could not travel. He was taken 70
the hotel and put in a box stall. The
leg was bandaged and he was made as
comfortable as possible.
He ate Eis food, and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out of town.
Then he became restless, and tramped
and whined. AS the caravan moved
past the hotel he seemed to realize that
he was being deserted, and his anxiety
and his distress became piiiful. He
would stand with HIS ears pricked in an
attitude of intense listening, and then
as his ear caught the signs of the re-
firing wagons he would rush, as best
he could with his injured leg, from one
side OF the stall to the other, pushing at
the door with his nose and making
every effort to escape. The stableman,
who was stranger to him, tried to
soothe him, but to no purpose. He
would not be comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus
hae ceased, his agitation continued
The sweat poured from him in streams
and he quivered in every part of his
body. Finally, the nobleman went to
the house, woke up the proprietor and
told him he believed the horse would
die If some of the circus horses were
not brought back TO keep him company
At about daylight the proprietor mount
ed the horse and rode after the circus
He overlook it ten or twelve miles away
and the groom who had charge of the
injured horse returned with him. Wher
l.iIsy reached the stable the horse was

 So the new State appears to be well worth having, It would have been worth having some time ago if the Mormons had been willing to be decent, Their present attitude toward polyg- amy is thus described by the Deseret News, the organ of the Mormon Church; The Mormon people accepted the doc Urine of plural marriage as from God; they accepted the decision to cease it's practice as from the same source, The divine law that they should be subject to presidents, magistrates rulers, etc, they consider as binding upon them. There was an issue upon the subject of marriage, which was fully tested, with the result that magistrates and rulers refused to allow it's practice, This point reached, God commanded the saints to obey the ruling powers, ne thus took the discussion Of plural marriage as a practice entirely out of their jurisdiction. Whatever controver- sy there is rests with him in behalf of that principle. The Mormons are not now a party thereto under the circum- stances; nor could they institute a re- newal of the practice without violating a direct command of the Almighty.
 This is ingenious, and though it doesn't seem to be entirely honest the Mormons will do well not to discover that the Almighty desires them to re- sume the practice of polygamy.

4 DINCERNiNN NON.

Woman has just received a fine and a sincere compliment. She didn't get 1t from man, nor yet from woman. It came from a fox, a member of q class of animals long and justly celebrated for discernment, This fox was being hunted in England and had tried all the tricks he knew in order to escape the eager hounds. But they were gaining on him and he was at his foxy wits end In his despair he suddenly made q detour, crossed d railroad, and, be- fore the hounds could come up with him. leaped straight into a woman's arms, She bravely ,succored the poor creature, who was trembling with fright and the eXertion of his run, but finally let him go when the hounds came up
 qnd threatened to tear her to pieces in their eagerness to do their work. The fox was, of course, killed, but the wo-. man said she should never forget the look he gave her when she was forced to surrender him.
 Poor and yet true-seeing fox. While the wise of the earth are saying that Woman is cruel and hard hearted his instinct was right and sure What a pity that she couldn't save the wretched animal from going to the dogs. But alas! Often she cannot save a man, who is said to be of more value than many animals, from going to the dogs.

When President Cleveland let loose the words that made such a stir in this country and in England perhaps he didn't realize just what he was doing. And it may be that the Emperor Will liam didn't foresee what a row his message to the President of the Trans vaal would make. This is what he said: T express my sincere congra tu- lations that, supported by your people and without appealing for help to friendly powers, you have succeeded by your own energetic action against the armed bands which invaded your coun- try as disturbers of the peace, and have thus been enabled to restore peace and safeguard the independence of your country against attacks from without" These words, which do not appear to be very wicked or malicious, have made the people of England as ready for war as the people of this country were but few days ago, It is felt that they distinctly ignore the British suzerainty over the Transvaal republic. This is regarded, both in off cial and private circles, as a direct menace, which, if followed up, would speedily be made a casus belli by Great Britain. It is insisted by such men as Sir Charles Dilke, who regards the sit uation as extremely grave, that Eng land can on no account permit herself to be succeeded by Germany or any other country as the protector of the It is already announced in semi-official form that the British naval force in the neighborhood of Delagoa bay is immensely superior to the two German cruisers which have been ordered there, and there is much other warlke talk.
 But war between England and Ger many is not much more probable just now than is war between England and the United States.

A Massachusetts decision makes a common gambling house of club house whose rooms are commonly used for gambling by the members and such other persons as the members invite to come there, despite the fact that the rooms are not open to the public gen orally. The Supreme court says on the question: Under the English statute which is not identical with ours. it is held that building may be a com mon gambling house, although resorted to only by members of club for whose use the place is maintained. Gambling houses in this country and in England are seldom open to all the public Usually only those persons are admit ted who are supposed to be willing to have the law violated in this way. Of ten strong doors and double locks are used to keep out not only officers of the law, but all others who are not known to the proprietor or vouched for by his friends. The word common as ap- piled to @ gambling house, does not necessarily mean that it is open to all the public
