way"
Mr.. Hixon. a tall, pale, close-shaven
young clergyman, sat in his Gothic
study, with a vase of rosebuds before
his sheets of sermon paper, and a
stack of new pens all placed ready for
use. Maj. Clark, short and stout, with
a fringe of white whiskers around his
rubicund couneenance was smoking a
cigar on the doorstep Mr.. Hixon
disliked the odor Of Havanas, and Maj.
Clark despised the rosebuds. But they
were both mildly tolerant of the
others weakness. Maj. Clark had an
Idea that 1t looked respectable to be
'on social terms with your clergyman,
and Mr.. Hixon, who had only recent
ly accepted a call to Snagtown, de-
pended a good deal on Maj. Clarks
thorough acquaintance with the peo-
pie and the place.
And, to speak TRUTH the beautiful,
se-garlanded parsonage was not al
together without its thorns. Mr.. Hixon
knew nothing about housekeeping, and
the old woman, who had always man
aged the domestic helm for his prede-
cessor, had Just retired from business
on legacy. And the topic which
Maj. Clark and he were discussing at
that especial moment was how to re-
place Betsey Ann Snedecor.
So. Mr.. Hixon took the majors adj
vice and inserted an advertisement in
the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet. The
major gave 1t to the editor with the
dollar which was to guarantee its
prompt insertion.
And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet
had not decorated the breakfast table
Of the citizens for half an hour on
the Wednesday morning of its issue
when Mr.. Hixon, studying out the
"fifthly" Of his next weeks sermon,
was startled by tap at the door, and
In walked lady.
young lady. And rather a pretty
lady, with a flush on her cheeks as red
as the Rev. Mr.. Hixon's own rose
buds, pretty brown hair and dark blue
eyes yelled with long lashes.
"Ah" stammered Mr.. Hixon, rising
rather awkwardly, "how do you do,
Miss Lennox? A fine morning after
the rain. Pray be seated-pray favor
me by occupying this chairl''
For he had seen Barbara Lennox
several times, called once at her faith

down her name in his list of people to
be visited frequently. He liked Bar

bara disliked him. There are some
people with whom we feel that we
should like to be better acquainted.
And pretty Barbara was one of these,
classed on the white pages of the min

Trimming Children.

The hope of our country socially

God and Country,

1t Is not an easy thing to separate the
love of our country from the love OF
home and the love OF God The patriot,
worthy the name, must have all the
virtues that constitute a strong, manly
character. The fathers of our republic
were men of noble character, because
they were firm believers in God.
Whether in New England or In the
middle states, or elsewhere, those
pioneers of civilization carried with
them the principles that gave rise to
noble ideals of life. And of them one
truthfully sang;
oh God, beneath thy guiding hand,
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea.
And when they trod the wlntry strand,
With prayer and song they worshiped
Thee.
Laws, freedom, truth and faith in God
Came with those exiles DER the
waves
And
"The God they trusted guards their
graves"
Imagine Whittier, the poet of free
dom becoming an unbeliever and writ
ing as such. How his burning words
and prophet like denunciations would
have lost their power!
Tine poet sang of freedom because
he knew the words Of the Lord and
Savior to be true: "Ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you
free" The poet stood for the oppressed
and Borrowing, because the Master
said: Eye are all brothers." the SOL
der who left all, and ran to the defense
of his country, and even gave his life
for 1t, was fulfilling a Christian duty.
Jesus Christ had said long 40: Great
er love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends. I"
Christianity came as a great deliver
ance The ideal soldier, therefore. is
faithful to both God and country. Car
! lyle used to say that the study OF the
French revolution saved him from be-
ing an atheist. The study OF American
history will show any one that, The

An Interesting Letter.

Through the kindness of Druggist John.
son, We are permitted to print the fol.
lowing from letter he received yester.
day from his partner, John Henderson,
who went to Colorado Springs last week:
We arrived safely in Colorado Springs
Wednesday evening, the train being
about two hours late. This is quite q
town. 1t looks as though there was con-
siderable business transacted here from
the appearance of the streets and the
looks of the stores.
My cousins laundry looks like bee
hive with 1.-THE hustle and stir. He en-
ploys about forty Glands, and has en-
ployed as high as fifty or more. He keeps
nine horses, including his family horse
and his trotter, at boarding stable, and
pays $l5 head, or $135 month for their
keeping. His horse is quite fine ami.
NAL and can clean out most anything on
the road, but is quite gentle. We were
riding up Cascade Avenue, the home of
the millionaires, this afternoon, and he
wound the lines around the whip and
raised up in the seat and hit the horse
slap with his hat across the back and it
never startled him, but as soon as he took
the lines and pulled up on them we went
flying up the street.
My younger cousin has half interest in
an ice cream and confectionery business,
and is doing pretty well.
l have been around the city considera
BILE, but have not been up in the noun
tains yet. This morning Pixies Peak was
covered with snow and it was still snow
ing when we got up. We will probably
60 up to the Cascade tomorrow. There
are good many places to go to around
here, and when get little rested from
the journey will begin to look around
a little. Tell Doc. Hume that 1 have not
yet run across the man who owes him
the $4.75, and tell Henry that I saw
several hawks on the road, which might
have done for our Zoo, but l could not
get near enough to get any. Also ask
Daniel if the grass over the foot-bridge is
long enough to tie. AS soon as I have
been around more l will write you again.
l am writing this in the store, where
there has been considerable talking, 80
you will have to excuse mistakes.

When a thousand or more feet in the
