Blind Mons Dreams.

One Of the most intelligent inmates Of a
blind asylum, who camo into tho world
blind, says that he never dreams of the
things no has read about and never
dreams Of any thing or person that he has
not in some way como in personal contact
with.
He dreams Of music, Of the voices of
persons he knows, Of such incidents as
might happen mt the home or in some
place in which he has actually been, but
mover of incidents in other places or in
Other lands. Even although he has rcad
descriptions of localities, of natural beau
tics, of tho appearance of street or city,
no idea of what they look like comes to
him in tho fancies of his sleep.
There is n class of blind people who. be-
come blind whom quite young Such blind
people never dream OF any sceno or object
except those which have remained in the
memory from what they actually saw bo-
foro they became blind. = Pearson 8

FREEDOM THREATENED.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Tells Why

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Tells Why
America Rebel1ed Against England.
America rebolled, not because tho col
onies woro oppressed, but because thoir in
habitants were tho frcest people then in
the world and did not mean to suffer op-
preston. They did not enter upon resist
anco to England to redress intolerablc
grievances, but because they saw u policy
adopted which they rightly believed threat
cned tho freedom they possessed. AS Burke
said, they Judged 1.-THE pressure of tho
grievance by the badness of the principle"
and "snuffcd he approach of tyranny in
every tainted breeze" They were tho
most dangerous people i'll tho world to
mcddlo with because they were ready to
fight, not to avengo wrongs which indeed
they had not suffered, but to maintain
principles on which their rights and lib
erty rested.
The English ministry had begun to as
sail those principles. They were making
clumsy and hesitating attempts to take
money from the colonies without leave of
the people, and George in n bclatcd way
was trying to bo King and revive an
image of the dead and gone personal mon
nrchy of Charles I. Hence calne resistance
very acute in one colony, shared more or
loss by all. Hence tho congress in Phila-
dclphin and tho great popular movement
starting as if inevitably in that quiet colo
NAL town among the frcest portion of tho
liberty loving English racc.-Scnator

We are often asked how can the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Company
pay larger dividends than other compa-
MES, on similar policies in the same COM
muuity, and st:ll accumulate larger
surplus per 81 900 insuled?'
We can only give three reasons.
We add the indisputable fact that we
do it.
We do pay larger dividends, hence we
do sell insurance at lower cost and we
have accumulated larger surplus in
proportion to liabilities.
We expect to keep on doing it.
Cost depends on dividends.
Dividends depend en- savings.
Savings derend on management.
That the Northwestern does save more
for it's members, does pay larger divi-
dends and does insure at lower cost
than other companies, is the indisputabe
fact Of to-day.

Sheep Ticks,

Every one who has sheep knows the
tick, the worst pest of this animal, that
does serious harm to tho young lambs
without suspicion of tho cause to the
shepherd. This reddish brown creature
is awingless fly and very greedy blood
sucker. A dozen of them on a lamb will
quickly suck the little one dry. 1t is to
be looked after at the time Of shearing,
when these insects go for shelter to the
lambs. 1t is found mostly where the
animal cannot reach it-on it's head,
buried in the skin, sucking the blood.
Its skin is tough, and it is not easily
crushed with less than a blow of ham
mer. In small focks it is not much of a
job to go through, with a pair of
small scissors to cut tho ticks i'll two,
but where the flock is over score it
will be necessary to dip the lambs

THE CREED TO BE.

Our thoughts are moulding unseen
spheres.
And. like a blessing or a curse,
They thunder down the tormles> years.
And ring throughout the universe.
We build our futures 10y the shape
OF our desires. and not by acts;
There Is no pathway of escape,
No priest-made creed can alter facts.
salvation is not begged or bought
Too long this selfish hope suthced;
Too long men reeked WIN lawless
thought,
And leaned upon a tortured Christ
Like shrivelled leaves. these WORKOUT
Creeds
Are dropping from religion tree,
The world begins to know its needs,
And souls are crying 70 be free.
Free from the load of fear and grief
Men fashioned in an ignorant age:
Free from the ache OF unbeiiei
He He'd to IN rehellious rage
No church can bind him TO the things
That fed the first crude souls evolved,
But mounting upon daring wings.
He questions Mysteries long unsOlved.
Above the chant of priests. above
The blatant tongue of brayiug doubt,
He hears the still small voice of love
Which sends its simple message out;
And dearer. swceter. day by day.
Its mandate echoes from the skies:
Go roll the stone of self away,
And let the Christ within thee rise.

B. 6. 6. STEAMBOAT.
6tuF you only had steamboat"
We have heard that remark a

We have heard that remark a
thousand times at head
quarters during the last six months;
we have hearu it so often and
from so many persons and sources
that we have concluded that we MUST
have that steamboat.
Reason No. l. The freight trans
portation for the B G c and the colo
nists has cost us directly and indi-
rectly hundreds of dollars, and nearly
every fraction OF that amount has
been lost to our treasury. Had we
owned a boat hundreds of dollars
would have been saved and earned
and added to our exchequer.
Reason 2. The business of trans
portation on upper Puget sound is
one of the most lucrative of all the
local industries. Tons and thousands
of tons of oats and hay and other pro-
duce are to be transported this fall
and winter from point to point along
this coast, and the competition in this
graln-carrying trade seems to be ex-
ceedingly slight. Why should not the
B G c get large share of this re-
munerative business?
Reason 3. We are offered for head
quarters of the B C C at Anacortes-
the shipping and grain-freighting
seaport and center of this section
the use of two commodious build
tional board of the B &C, and the
other for INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM and
a three-year lease (free) of 300 feet
of fine water front. The facilities
offered to us are extremely valuable
and advantageous for our headquar-
tiers, and our use of them would mean
a largely decreased expense for the
B G c, and largely increased accom-
modation; but we cannot avail our
selves of the water front with ad
vantage until we have THAT BOAT.
Reason 1. Think of the effective
propaganda that a B c c steamboat,
bearing the banner of Industrial
Freedom, and plying up and down,
and in and out, and all over the
waters of this magnificent Puget
Sound, must of necessity accomplish.
What a splendid adjunct to the mis-
sion wagon on land would be the mis-
sion boat upon the sea.
With $500 in the steamboat fund
the B C C could complete arrange
ments for the purchase'or building of
a suitable boat. Already we have on
our list of B c c members a mum Der of
persons capable of constructing and
running our boat-ship carpenters,
marine engineers, maChinists, pilots,
etc All we now need is the money
If the members of the Brotherhood
want that boat surely there should be
no delay or difficulty about getting it
as soon as the association quickens to
