M'CAIN'S.

MCCAIN's, May 25.-Wrting is the
visible track of thought whereby it can
be identified and traced in all its swift
excursions of the past by recalling and
terminating past friends and pleasures
hence we have retreated to our room
and in the quietness of the still night
hours, with pen in hand, we are jotting
down our few culled items.
A halo of loneliness seems to surround
our little "villa" since the closing of the
school at this place. The exercises
were held Monday night and the
school closed happy and well-spent
and closing remarks said, the last days
of school were always sad. For days
and months the pupils and teachers are
constantly associated together, study
ing the character and disposition of one
another until the ties are those of one
big family; and when the last day of
school comes it is sad indeed to join in
the sweet strains of "GOd Be When You
Till We Meet Again"
Mr.. Jasper Horne and family moved
back to their lovely home at Broad
view Tuesday; also Prof. Scott and sis
ters to their respective home. We re-
greet losing them from our midst, but
hope, ere the summer roses have faded
we shall have them back again in our
happy circle.
We are sorry to report Mr.. Otis Trous-
dale no better, but hope for him a
speedy recovery.

ANGRY RUSH OF WATERS.
Levees on the Rio Grande Break and
Cause Much DAmage.


Cause Much Damage.
Ell PAso, Ten, May 25.-At
o'clock this morning the fire alarm
sounded to arouse the people in the
lower part of the city and notify
them that the levee had broken, and
that the flood waters of the Rio
Grande were rushing like mad
spirits through the city. The river
had reached its highest point since
1891. In few minutes a large force
of men were at work, trying to
check the angry rush of waters with
sacks filled with sand, but a second
break above backed up the water
on the workmen, and they had to
retire.
Not less than l20 homes were
swept away and tonight several
hundred men are at work on a new
leVee.

Wcmsn's Missionary Society.
BY Mrs. ID. d. Holdridge.

By Mrs. d. D. Holdridge.
In December, 1870, the Presby-
terrain women of Chicago organ
ganized the Woman's Presbyterian
Board of Missions of the North
west. | think in 1885 the Wom-
ans Synodical Mission society was
organized in what is now the state
of South Dakota, auxiliary to the
Woman's Board at Chicugo and
New York, Chicago being head
quarters for foreign work and New
York for home mission work. This
state organization was divided into
four Presbyterian societies-Aber-
deem, Central, Northern, and Black
Hills-with Mrs. j. S. Oliver as
president. September 10, 1887,
the Presbyterian ladies of Madison
became interested in the work and
formed a society with six members.
Mrs. Stevenson, the pastors wife,
was elected president, and this soci-
ETY. was auxiliary to the Central
Presbyterial society. On reviewing
minutes of this society, l think
there were six charter members.
Monthly meetings were held, with
an attendance of four or five, and
these meetings have been contin-
ued without interruption, until the
present time. The number of
members has gradually increased
until it now numbers nineteen.
The roll contains the names of Al
members. A few have been called
to a higher field in the mansions
Of our Heavenly Father, while
many have sought homes in other
lands.
The meetings are opened with
scripture reading, singing and
prayer. A portion of time is de-
voted to business. Topics for
monthly meetings are given in
Magazine and the remainder of the
hour is occupied in reading inter-
esting articles on that subject.
The Missionary Magazines are a
great help in educating the people
on mission work. Woman's Work
for Woman, and Home Mission
Monthly, for adults, and Over Sea
and Land. for the young, are ad-

Tad Lincoln's Friend.

Tad had hundreds of friends in Wash
ington. But Raymond Gray was a par
ticular one. We used to call him Ray,
the temperance lecturer" In those days
at the capital we were always urged to
take punch, wine and juleps" with cake
at our friends houses or at most public
entertainments.
Rays father worked beside me in the
War Department, and l know he was
very fo2d Of strong drink-when he was
warm, to make him cool; aud when he
WAS to cool, to warm>his blood. He had
bad headaches" and loft days. and
Ray used often to come to the office with
excuses for him from his mother.
One morning as l was gong over to
the White House with some papers |
found Ray aud Tad sitting on the steps
of the area. Ray was sohbing and cry.
ing. Tad had his arm over his shoulder
comforting him.

Teddy Welsh just hollered out, so all the
boys could hear-and-"
what did he dare to say, Ray? I'm
going to tell my father! There! Don't
Ray, don't fuss about that old mean
Teddy any more!'
Ray sobbed out: "He said there goes
the boy-the boy-whose father gets
drunk every day, and Id be ashamed to
play with a drunkard's boy"
Iad's eyes flashed; he looked up and

him. The man trembled at such a mes,
sage from the President. He thought,
Il have lost my position now"
Nobody heard what Arabian Lincoln
said to Rays father.
But the two little friends talked it
over together, and agreed 1t was a dread
full sin to drink liquor, and whether
Teddy was right or wrong that time,
Rays father was never again sick with
bad headaches or dizzy spells"

talk with the guards and soldiers about

The name of Neal Dow's grand
mother was "Hate Evil Hail." and
perhaps the thought of hat name
was handed down to him. He did
| indeed hate evil, and it was the
sight of such sorrow and trouble
as drink auses that led him to say
to a saloonkeeper:
You say you have a license to
| do this? With Gods help, l will
/ change all this"
! And with Gods help he did, for
!, his own state, at least.
It is said a gentleman came to
! his door one day, smoking, and was
about to enter the house, but Mr..
Dow said, mot with that cigar, if
