WHAT 1NrEMreHANoE HAS DONE.

Drunkenness has impoverished thousands
to the enriching Of few, for statistics show
that one in every fifteen adults in this coun-
try is addicted to the excessive use of intoxi-
eating drinks. 1t is vice that, in 1895, cost
this country the enormous sum OF 1,0S0,-
900, go, OF nearly rs much as was expended
for all the staple articles of food for that
year, that cost $420, ,0pO, 600 more than was
spent for the support Of religion, public edu-
cation, printing and publishing combined,
for the same period. All this. and more, IL

REFORMATION.
Tom Jones was drunkard;
There was no doubt OF that,
You could tell by his nose,
And his coat and his hat,
And his ragged old trousersl
o, where could you match emf
Or where find a woman
Whoever could patch emp
His wifo never tried t.;
Twas not cause she wouldn'p
The reason was this;
The poor woman oouldn't,
For this pair OF trousers
Was Toms only one,
And what could he do
While the patching was done9
One evening, quite sober,
Tom came home to tea,
And after while
To his poor wife said hes
"There's something l miss,
Aud I've missed It for weeks,
Say, what has become
OF the rod In your cheoksf"
"Whnt one person loses
Another ono gains"
His pale-looklng wife
With q sad smile explains;
"Become Of the red2 Tom,
You know where II goes;
You stole Il to redden
The end OF your nose"
Tom thought for a minute,
Then said to his wife;
otis wrong, and know II,
To lead such life.
And now, my dear wife,
I'll do Hs l ought'er."
And he joined tho Good Templars
And drank only water.
Aud now he helps roll
Tho great Temperance ball,
And keeps to his pledge,
Beer, cider and all;
And he vows a Good Templar
He'll always remain,
And on his wife's cheeks
Bloom the roses again.

CARE OF HANGING BASKETS IN WINDOWS.
Be sure to see that suspended plants
get enough water, advises Eben E.
Rexford. Most persons complain that
they "haven't much luck with hang.
ing plants" In nine cases out of ten,
the fault is their own. A plant sus.
pended at the height of ones head
above the floor is in stratum of very
warm air where evaporation will take
place with great rapidity, and unless
water is given frequently and in lib.
aral quantities the soil in pot or
basket will be very dry before You
know it.
The best plan know of for keeping
the soil in baskets evenly moist is this;
Take a tin can and make a small hole
IN its bottom. Fill this with water
md set it on top of the soil in the
basket. By watching development
little you can tell whether the hole in
:he can is too large, too small, or just
;he right size. 1t should be OF size
10 allow enough water to escape to
Keep tine soil moist all the time. 1t is
much easier to fill this can daily, or
,ftener if necessary, than it is to APP
oly water to the surface of the soil and
have enough soak into it to penetrate
Ill parts of it. The foliage OF the
plant can be so arranged about the
,an as to effectually conceal it.-New
England Homestead.

cLrANrNa osrR1cH FEATHERS.

To clean white ostrich feathers, cut
some pure white soap in small pieces
and pour boiling water on them and
add little mite of soda. When the
soap is dissolved and the water cool
enough, dip the feathers in and draw
them through the hand. Do this
several times until the lather is dirty,
then make a clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued.
Pat the feather between the hands and
shake them over the fire until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by
drawing each fiber between the thumb
and the dull edge of a silver knife.
With little care aud patience the re-
suit will be oil that can be desired.

The Other Side.

A good example of an ambiguous an
swer is reported by Northern tourist
as coming from the pilot of steamboat
on the coast of Georgia. The tourist,
who is a Yankee and was a Union SOL
der, was engaged in an easy converse
ton with the pilot, who told war rem
iniscences of an interesting character,
without, however, directly intimating
that he had any personal part in them.
Finally, the Yankee asked, point
blank, (Which side were you on dur
ing the WARP"
The pilot gave him glance which
seemed to say" You are too inquisi-
tive," and then answered, 81 was on
the other side"
Then he changed the subject of con-
versation. The Northern visitor is
still specializing as to which the "other
side" was; the other side from the
questioner's, the other side from the
side Georgia was on, the other side of
the ocean, or the other side of the Ca
madam border.

Headquarters were for the arranging of

registration or finding comrades was of

signed to the wastebasket.

=" Here's Your Mule, !"

John A. Goddard writes: 81 was
stationed at Camp Wilkins in 1916,
near Fort Jessup, La, where part of
Gen. Taylor's brigade was, consisting
of the Second dragons, Third and
Fourth infantry, the latter being sta
toned at Camp Celebrity, near by.
We were about midway between the
Red and Sabine rivers, and in wilder
ness country, very sparsely settled.
The population consisted of Creoles
and Indians, who principally lived on
the soldiers. The camps were flooded
with bushwhackers, robbers and gam
blers. The bayonet and bowie knife
were brought into play in combat to
settle the disputes.
"On one occasion, in June, I845, q
veteran OF Company f, took three
days furlough to cross the Sabine into
the new Texas, taking his chances of
being waylaid or delayed, and held as a
deserter, for the bounty of $50 paid on
all such. A soldier was detected by
his walk, although we were allowed to
dress in citizens clothes, and at any
moment we might find ourselves look
ing into the muzzle of rifle.
son the way out Corporal Jones
found himself in this position, and he,
thinking discretion the better part of
valor, surrendered. After much delay
on the part of his captors, compromise
was made, in which a mule would be
furnished on the next day for the COM
Portable conveyance of the tired and
footsore prisoner into camp, thereby
making sure of the prize money.
Corporal Jones was given lodging
and food. The next day he rode into
camp, just as the writer was being
posted on guard at the entrance, and
before the expiration of his pass. His
captor rode up to the official headquar-
tiers of Captain Barbor, then adjutant,
to deliver up his prisoner and take the
reward, but to his great disappoint-
ment, Jones drew from his pocket
pass, and, after saluting the officer, de-
livered it up. Then turning to his
would-be captor with very polite bow,
he remarked, Here's your mule, and
much obliged for my ride"

Abraham LincOln's Mercy,

Mr.. Lincoln was by nature singularly
merciful. The ease with which he
could be reached by persons who might
profit by his clemency gave rise to
many notable scenes in the White
House during the war. Upward of
twenty deserters were sentenced at one
time to be shot. The warrants for
their execution were sent 10 Mr.. Lin
coin for his approval. He refused 10
sign them. The commanding general
to whom the condemned men belonged
was indignant. He hurried to Wash
ington. Mr.. Lincoln had listened to
moving petitions for mercy from hu-
name persons who, like himself, were
shocked at the idea of the execution of
more than a score of misguided men.
His resolution was fixed, but his rule
was to see every man who had business
with him.
The irate commander was admitted
into Mr.. Lincoln's private office. With
soldierly bluntness.h he told the president
that mercy to the few was cruelty to the
many; that executive clemency in such
case would be blow at military dis
cipline; and that unless the condemned
men were made examples of the army
itself would be in danger. General"
said Mr.. rcoln, "there are too many
weeping widows in the United States
now. For Gods sake, don't ask me to
add to the number, for tell you Ilain-
ly, won't do i'll"
He believed that kind words were
better for the poor fellows than cold
lead, and subsequent events showed
that he was right.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
The Soldiers Stocking.

In the cottage doorway titting
Is lovely maiden knitting,
Needles flashing in the light,
Taper fingers. soft and white,
Eyes downcast in sweet intent
Der the homely stocking bent
Apple blossoms softly falling,
Robins to each other calling,
Bees from off the scented clover
HummiDg with their swe etness over,
DO not raise the earnest face,
Full Of sweetness, full of grace.
Slanting sunbeams in the simmer
or her golden ringlets glimmer,
Western breeze with soft caresses
Gently lifts the waving tresses,
River glidir 6, singing by
Cannot catch her dropping eye.
Hark, rustling In the branches,
Blossoms fall in avalanches,
Strange fruit for an apple tree.
"Prithee, what is this?" said she,
For from out the branches green
Smiling face is quickly seen.
Smiling face, but not Of maid,
Raven hsir-yes, I'm afraid
Underneath that straw hats brim
Loving glances cast by him
Ever on our little knitter
VIII for stockings quite unfit her.
You still htre?" she said, unheeding
All those glances soft and pleading.
"You still here, with bleeding, dying
Patriots on the green earth lying,
Calling to you from afsr,
From the heat and dust Of war?
See this stocking, heartfelt blessing
In with each warm fold I'm pressing,
For tits Of our boys In blue
am thinking, not Of you.
For their weary feet stay,
Knitting, knitting all the day.
Do not let your footsteps lag,
Go and save the dear old flag.
When its folds shall proudly wave
Ger land without slave
Then with you beside me sitting
Maybe I'll put down my knitting"
Apple blossoms, softly falling,
Robins to each other calling,
Maid alone in doorway sitting
Still intent upon her knitting,
Homely stocking, fast upon
Silver drops fall one by one.
Dead leaves throus the air are flying,
Autumn winds are sadly signing,
Smiling face beside the door
Maid shall look on nevermore.
BY the fireside sadly sitting
Still she plies her homely knitting.
81 have given all" sighed she,
Gan that was most dear to me.
lie that was my fond hearts pride
Sleeps in glory side by side
With the tue, the noble, brave
That have died their land to save"
Snow flakes falling on the ground,
Soft and white the cottage round,
Sad the leafless trees among
Whippowill chants pensive song
By the fireside tadly sitting
Is the maiden, knitting, knitting.

A Football Post Rlurtem.

d. n Hughes, manager of the
Hartland Athletic association, feels
aggrieged over our account of the
Thanksgiving day football game here
and writes US to correct what he con-
siders some misstatements. He thinks
great injustice" was done the Hart
lands by our saying that they ''came
loaded with Delafeld players;" still
he does not deny that this is fact.
However, it was not our ntent to
misrepresent anything nor to injure
anyone's feelings. Mr.. Hughes claims
that both Jones and LOwerre are
members of the Hartland Athletic as
sociation, which claim we have not
denied. We simply stated that they
were former players on the Delafield
academy team, in order to show in
some measure the strength of the
Hartlands as they appeared here.
