There are people in the world who pro-
fess to be good, they bend the knee in
the sanctuary, they give freely of their
money, they shout loud "Amens;" until
some fateful day they come tumbling
down in local esteem; for this Sunday
School superintendent or that deacon
has robbed bank or wronged woman
or any one of long list of things that
ruin life and bring disgrace on fair
careers. Then is the favorable time for
the human ostrich to come along in the
form OF young man, full of questionings
in his mind, and full OF conceit when his
mind, on little evidence or much is once
made up. He argues thus to himself:
"What did So and So profess? Christli-
ness. What did he do? Stole even
poor widows mite. On what did he
base his religion? The Bible. Who is
supposed to give authority to the Bible !?
God. Therefore, | will not believe in
God nor the Bible nor religion"
am not intending to argue here what
things are true and what are untrue, but
want you to see the charming duncery
OF your logic. Let me show you your
ostrich way, as in mirror. All the
ancients were prepared to swear that the
earth was flat and the sun it's attendant
satellite They were even prepared to
kill those who would testify d differently.
But while they we're protesting to run
70 la..-
minds. what was the truth? The earth
was globuar, and its orbit around the
sun had been practically unchanged for
ages. Now it is evident that all tn, Sc
millions, ignorant of the truth, believed
in untruth, and yet all their myriad
minds did neither affect nor hinder the
planets in their appointed journeys.
Again, suppose we all with one accord
should deny the existence OF the sun, we
should merely proclaim our own blind
ness and the sun would not be affected a
particle. 1t would be still there, hang.
ing hotly above us, our denials of its
existence would be indescribable moth.

Some Rambling Thoughts.
BY "NEMo."

To ALL ABOUT OsTRIcHEs We cannot
know what this gawky bird, with its
hap-hazard feathers, actually has in its
mind unless we be ostriches ourselves !;
but we may attempt to think its
thoughts by reason of watching its
actions, and actions speak louder than
words; which is desperately true of
other two.legged creatures besides os-
triches. Now according to the accounts
of travellers, this bird, when alarmed has
a way of hiding it's head; the idea SEEM
ing to be that if it cannot see the pur-
suer, the pursuer cannot see it. If closing
the eyes really stopped pursuit, what
pleasantly easy time this sufferer from
woman's whims would have. But
troubles do not vanish thus easily, and
we laugh at the poor Ounce Of a bird,
who dreams that he has blotted out the
world and it's miseries just by refusing to
see them; yet, there are other ounces
with the same number of feet, and they
do not all wear feathers.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-10-01

Once upon a time, as the fairy tales
express it, some hunted ostriches put
their heads together-they would better
have been scurrying over the sands-and
when they were huddltd like the boys in
football scrmmage, one of them sud-
denly exclaimed, Il cannot see any
hunter; there is none" and so said they
all but they lost their feathers just the
same.
On another occasion an ostrich thrust
his head into a narrow hole He had a
moment before been in the lull glare OF
the sun, but in the da tness he saw moth
ing. up to this time have been dream
ing But the heritage kept on growing
and the ardent sun looked after the neg
lected eggs and gave the final warming
influence to hatch out Their genera ton
of ounces.

Even the sun Shines Though the night
Brings darkness, yet, not vanished quite.

at Butte on Thursday last when the

than $75, 900, but It's location between the

owned partly by the Butte Il Boston, and
the further fact that the Butte & Boston,
recently started suit for $l6l 900 against
the Helnze people for ores aleded to
have been unlawfully taken from the
Michael Davitt, greatly increases the i'm
portance of the claim to both parties,
who were seeking to gain possession of it,.
The bidding started at $4,000 and only
when the bidding reached $4,000 was
there any great interest manifested.

Valley Land & Livestock Company, Just
decided by Judge Bellinger,
The government brought suit to re-
strain defendants from pasturing sheep
on the Cascade reserve. Defendants
demurred TO the complaint on the ground
that it had been the declared policy OF
the government to allow stockmen to
pasture their herds on its domain. 1t
was also set up that the government had
no recourse against persons pasturing
sheep or cattle on its domain, because
the lands were not fenced, rs the supreme
court Of Oregon had several times decided
that, unless owners of lands had them
fenced, they could not proceed against
the owners Of stock pastured thereon
The court held that the government in
pursuance of an act of congress, having
set aside the lands in question as a reser-
walton, it was 10 longer a part of the
public domain, and that the government
had the right to protect them, and that

Governor Rogers IL Consistent.

his canvassing tour last fall publicly said
that the governor of tins state had too
much patronage at his disposal. To his
everlasting credit be it said. he strongly
favored the passage OF the bill establish
ing a board Of control, thus deprivIng
himself of an immense amount of patron

he simply acts in an executive capacity

such acts as these that show the bona
tides OF a man and his intention to live
up to his professions before election and

At last a state of war has been de.

fighting has been carried on for nearly a
week ton the borders. The announce.
ment Of war sent the price of wheat up
several cents in the American markets
but now trade, while feverish, is appar-

The situation is puzzling one and what
the outcome will be is difficult to predict.
The action of the Sublime Porte is claim
ed to have been dictated by Russia and
it may be only brief time before orders
for peace will be issued. The present
state of affairs is apparently due more to
the intrigues Of the greater nations than
to the desires Of Greece or Turkey, for
they are being used as pawns in mo-
mentous game OF chess where Europe is
the play board and life, power and terri
tory are the stakes.
