The Editors Familiar Chat.

There is no man in this section better
posted on the milk situation in New
York City than E G. Seelfy of Roxbury,
who is president of the Milk Producers
Association of this valley. Mr. Seeley
has had several conferences with both
the men who now handle the milk and
the men who compose the new trust. Mr.
Seeley is of the opinion that the men
backing the new trust are square mon
and that in the end the farmers will be
better satisfied than with the present I'M
satisfactory arrangement. At least in
his opinion that the producers will do
well to meet them half way. 1t Ia quite
probable that a meeting will be called
soon st New Milford, March 2, to dis
cuss the situation. We agree with The
Homestead that it ia eminently wise for
the farmers to get together, and so be in
a situation to meet the demands of the
trust. Some of the producers are al
ready of the opinion that the 'honeyed
promises of the trust will not material
ize, and that once they have the farmers
in their grip, they will squeeze out OF
them what little vitality they have left
Since writing the foregoing we have
received the following note from MI
Seeley relative to the meeting lied tt
discuss the situation at New Milford
March 2. 1t behooves the producers tt
attend, and discuss the situation in al
it's phases. Mr. Seeley writes:

giOus matter as always do in secular mat

Adams, what have you to say about the
Bible and Christianity" The president
replies: 81 have for many years made it
practice to read through the Bible once
year My custom is to read four or live
chapters every morning Immediately after
rising from my bed. 1t employs about an
hour Of my time and seems to me the most

Rewards of Christianity.

Why was it that at midnight, just az
midnight, the destroying angel struck the
blow that set the Israelites free from bond
agef The 4S0 years were up at II o'clock
that night. The 43O years We're not up at
II, and o'clock would have been tardy
and too late. The 45O years were up at u
O'Clock, and the destroying angel struck
the blow, and Israel was free. And God
knows just the hour when it is time to
lead you up from earthly bondage. BY
his grace make not the worst of things,
but the best of them. If you must take
the pills, do not chew them. Your ever
lasting rewards will accord with your
earthly perturbations, just as Caius gave
to Agrippa chain of gold as heavy as had
been chain of iron. For the asking you
may have the same grace that was given
the Italian martyr, Algerius, who down in
the darkest Of dungeons dated his letters
from "the delectable orchard of the Leon
Inc prison" And remember that this
brief life is surrounded by rim-a very
thin but very important rim-and close
up TO that rim is a great eternity, and you
had better keep out of it until God breaks
that rim and separates this from that. To

into greater SORROWS TO nat rid of

A small American boy informed us at
the pension one day that great deal Of
horse meat was eaten in Paris, but we
didn't give the matter much thought
until we saw horses head as sign over
butchers shop, and some first -class dom
key sausages advertised in the windows.
We refrained from sausages after that.
Our finishing pleasure in Paris was an
evening at the opera, when we heard "The
Prophet. Although the opera house is
the largest in existence, it cannot seat so
many as either those in Naples or at
Milan. We thought the grand marble
staircase very beautiful on entering, but
to see it at its best one must view it from
the balustrades at the close of the opera
when the Parisians in their beautiful
evening costumes are passing out.

George Remnants "Story OF the War;,
now appearing in The Outlook, is con-
stantly growing in interest. One Of his
latest letters takes up the subject of the
manag ment Of the Florida camps and
the starting OF the Shafter expedition.
Mr.. KEENAN, treats this important topic
freely and frankly, but with great fair
mindedness, admitting all possible ex-
cuses, and yet pointing out many ways
by which prudence and foresight could
have avoided irritating delays. Mr.. Ken
nan is now in Cuba, and his comments on
the Santiago campaign will be awaited
eagerly.

SKAGUAY, Alaska, March Q, 1898.
We arrived here at 10 O'Clock a. M, after
an eight hours run from Juneau, where
we visite' ne famous Treadwell mines.
This = the worst place on Gods foot
stool. At present gambling, fighting,
shooting etc. Three men shot on the
summit yesterday, one the day before.
We are camped in a log cabin about
mile and half from town, which we hire
for a dollar per day. We shall start on
the tail as soon as we can get our goods
through the custom house, which will
probably be tomorrow. We have hired
man to pack us over White Pass, dis
lance of fourteen miles of the worst roads
one ever saw; mud a foot deep, etc. We
are to pay him six cents per pound or S120
per ton-we have about five tons. We
had to buy another ton Of provisions as
the mounted police won't let man over
wit h less than ,095 pounds.
Our provisions cost us over 500, our
hardware 500, freight 500, custom house
duties SS4. This doesn't include clothing
nor many other things. You see it costs
to go hunting for gold. This is just a
horrible place. There are dead horses ly-
ing all around. One old packer told US
there were 2,70O horses lying dead along
the river; he says they buy them to pack
over the mountain, then turn them loose
to die. Such cruelties you never dreamed
of. The place is now under martial law.

We bought a stove to heat the cabin
with; we have two in our outfit, but
couldn't get them. | expect when we get
out we shall have to use the tents and take
to our sleeping bags. | have not seen a
sleeping bag as good as ours nor skin
coat either. One of the best things in my
outfit is my stockings which dear old
mother made me, God bless her!
We are camped in the woods and the
wind whistling through the trees sounds
like rain. Keep up good courage, am in
hopes to bring you lots of nuggets some
day.

A Long Felt Want.
1t is Supplied in Ellsworth at Last.

1t is hard to be always pleasant.
Good-natured people are often irritable.
If you knew the reason you would not
be surprised.
Ever have itching piles?
Not sick enough to go to bed or not well
enough to sit up.
Nothing will annoy you so.
The constant itching sensation
Hard to bear, harder to get relief.
Keeps you awake nights.
Spells your temper, nearly drives you
crazy.
Isn't relief and cure long felt want?
1t is to be had for every one in Doan's
Ointment
Doan's Ointment never fails to cure Itch
ing piles, eczema, or any itching of the
skin.
Here is the proof of it in the testimony
of citizen:
Mr.. Warren G. Jordan, travelling sales
man for j. T. Crippen, piano, organ and
sewing machine dealer, says: 81 used
Doan's Kidney Pills in the fall Of 1876, on
the strength of lady's recommendation
in Mariaville, for a lame and aching back
and other symptoms which indicated kid
ney trouble, with such success that 1 was
induced to use a pile ointment by the
same name, Doan's. / used everything
else that / had heard of during the 8 years
l was annoyed with itching piles, but
could not find remedy that would per-
manently cure. 1t is one of the most an
noying complaints persons can have; no
rest or relief from it day or night. The
promptness with which Doan's Ointment
relieved me was astonishing. 1t stopped
it at once and cured me so quickly that
neglected to use it as / should, but it
cured. If it were not first class remedy
it would not have acted as it did,
For sale by all dealers, price so cents.

When | wrote you last night was not
sure we would be here another day. Our
packer could not get US convoy until
Saturday morning, as he is out on the trail
and will not get back until then. Said
packer is Maine man. l had quite long
talk with his good wife this morning;
they are from Ellsworth.
Tomorrow morning we start with thirty
pack horses and shall work what pro-
visions we brought here over to the foot
of the mountain. We can move that as 1t
was bought in American territory and
there will be no duty to pay. 1t is an
eleven mile walk, or twenty-five miles in
all, and over the worst trail in the world !;
the mud is all of foot deep in some places
for several miles, but after we get across
Skaguay river we get into colder coun-
try. We shall probably get back to camp
before dark.
told the packer would send men with
him if he needed them; he said he could
use six men, but we could not spare as
many for we want two men with the
camp. We felt that if we could earn "A a
day each, we would be in that much, and
this is what we intend to do when we can,
but of course when we get out with our
outfit we shall have all the work we can
attend to. expect our walk will lame us
considerably, but Saturday morning we
will get the goods we have in the custom
house. and make break over the trail,
and l shall be glad to get away from this
place.
Don't know how people are going to
live here next summer, am sure disease
must kill them all. l would not live here
two weeks for the whole town. There Is
no law, no order, nothing except shooting
and hanging. II man shoots another
he is considered quite man, but should
he steal sack of -four, he is strung up
to the nearest tree.
We are all feeling we'll and every man is
anxious to get to work. Many poor fell
low has been turned back from the Can
adian line on account of being short OF
provisions and was compelled to sell what
he had and turn his face toward home.
There are lots of people here in business
who are only trying to make enough to
take them to the gold fields-their wives
will 90 back home, most of them. A very
few women will go over with their hus-
bands. There are quite number OF
women here. They all wear short dresses,
which come to the tops of their rubber
boots

The Red Cross.

They too have heard the drum beat,
They follow the bugle's call,
These who are swift with pity
On the field where brave men fall.
When the battle boom is silent,
And the echoing thunder dies,
They haste to the plain red sodden
with the blood of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with crimson sign,
Pledge of a great compassion
And the rifted heart Divine
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss.
These to the field of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle,
And heed the drum beat's call.
But their errand is one of pity
They succor the men who fall.
