SLUGGISH BLOOD,

The blood should not creep lazily
through the veins. 1t should run
swiftly, carrying life and health to
every organ. Indigestion, constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and nervousness, in
variably accompany poor circulation.
Purify and invigorate the blood with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and these
diseases will disappear. The Bitters
also prevents malaria fever and ague,
and cures all ailments of the stomach.

gloom
Grows thicker as it's given back to
thee,
Earth gives back the every trust re-
posed in it
And Nature stands, memorable and
grim,
Frowns backs at frowns, returns thee
smile for smile,
Tears for thy tears, OF gives thee joys
for joys,
Nor caring aught, save to return thine
own.
So look into the mirror with a smile
And see a happier smile reflected there,
Breathe song to air and hear the cir

Returning it to thee and sweeter still,
Laugh with the ripping brook and

Know every voice of Nature is a laugh

CRITTENTON HOME.

Since the organization of the Crit
tenton Circle in Bismarck last June by
President Crittenton of the National
Florence Crittenton Mission, the ladies
composing the circle have made much
progress in their project of establish
ing a home for the reception and care
of unfortunate and friendless girls and
women in Bismarck. In 1892 before
Mr.. Crittenton had perfected his plans
OF organizing a chain of such homes
IN every state and in all the principal
cities of the union, he gave to Francis
Willard Tie sum OF $1,000 to be divided
among the w. c. 7. U. of five states
for such purposes. One thousand
dollars was devoted to the home at
Fargo, which although controlled by
the w. c. T. U, was by request of Mr..
C%rittenton named the florence Critten-
ton Home in memory Of his little
daughter, whose death at a tender age
led the father to devote his life and
fortune to this munificent charity.
There are now in the home at Fargo
II girls and Z babies.
A proposition mas been made by Mr..
Crittenton for the transfer of this
home to the National Crittenton Mis-
sion and pending the action of the W.
G. T. U. he has requested that it be
no longer called the Florence Critten-
ton Home, and in compliance with his
request it's legal name IS now the
North Dakota w. c. T. U. Home.
The situation in Bismarck is that if
the w. c. T. U. declines Mr.. Critten-
ton nffoy, f0r, fha {,,o ,,cFor 80 H.. l---
at Fargo to the National Florence Crit
tenton Mission, then a home worthy
of the Capital city will be built in Bis
marck. But if the Fargo home joins
the Crittenton cnain of state homes,
then only a small receiving home will
be built in Observation-Disclosures to the
home at Fargo.
1t is needless to speak of the benefit
OF such a home, either principal or re-
ceiving, in a large city such as Bis
marck is destined to be in the future.
The necessity Of reform in the treat
ment of earth's unfortunates is recog-
nized by all Christian people. The
magnificent and practical method in
augurated by Mr.. C%rittenton in this
species of charity have won admira-
ton and aroused enthusiasm in nearly
every state in the union. Fifty-four
magnificent homes are successfully en-
gagged in rescue work in the United
States.
The little band of earnest ladies in
Bismarck who have taken up the bur-
den of this work are sanguine of sue
cess. They ask the aid and co-opera-
ton of all ladies in Bismarck and Bur-
leigh county, who are in sympathy with
their efforts in behalf OF the helpless
and frendless Of their own sex.

SOME PRAIRIE BREEzEs.
NTROsPECTION


When with the world-mask off, we sit
alone
Stripped Of our shams in meditation
deep,
AS the lone harpist sits who tests the
tone
Of every string; when pretense lies
asleep,
And wakeful Truth roams restless in
our hearts,
Flashing its light in gloomy depths I'M
seen
Save to ourselves; when helpless all
the arts
We practice to deceive ourselves, that
clean
We seem, as the foul leper might cloak
DER
His fostering shape, and dream him
self made whole,
Salving with s%elf-deceit a hidden sore,
TITS only then we see the naked soul
With it's infirmities and livid scars,
And shudder in the silence, nor endure
To view the creeping ANGER foul, that
mars
The soul the MASTER gave us to keep
pure.

TAKE COURAGE.

Look We not back with anguish keen
Upon the things that might have been
But in the smiling future see
The1lappy things that yet may be.
Nor in thy weeping count the cost
OF vases broken, treasures lost,
But see strewn b~ounteously around
The wealth Of pleasures to be found.
Nor waste the hour in tear and sigh
For castles that in ruins lie,
But through thy smiles the castle see
The future yet may real for thee.

H HAND.

THE MASTERS HAND.
Naught was by chance or is by acct
In all the tangle, in the mazes intri-
cate
Of being, there is purpose H%eaven-sent,
No sweeping sea, no star in heaven
set,
No ray of sunlight in the eyeless
space
But in the plan of Being has a place.
Nor any breath of life is drawn but
rears
Its meaning in the mystery of things.
No thread is woven in the cloak of
years
But some completeness to the garment
brings,
No wave-washed sand, no twig upon a
tree
But is because it was decreed to be.
Nothing is purposeless; not any sigh,
No stress of sorrow, not the ecstasy
That breathes of joy; the Masters ra-
diant eye
Riffs the dull clouds and reads the
mystery,
The aimless sea that dashes on the
sand
Moulds it's shapes purposeful and at
command.
Into the depths of gloom we gaze and
cry,
Seeking the light, nor ever understand,
AS the Impractical eye sees mystery
And only chance wnere Genius gifted
hand
Carves from rough stone a shape; till
forth is hurled
The veil, and Destiny stands, Sculptor
of the World.

MIRRORED.

All nature is a mirror Of thyself,
Rejecting back thine image and thy
moods
Measure for measure, be they glad or
sad,
OF sigh or song; if naught of music
lives
In thy dead heart, thou wilt not hear a
song
In all the day; If heavy with the cloud
The cleaning sunlight leadens Unto
mist,
Complaint is only echoed from the hills
It's volume still increased and sulIen

annoyed but actually suffered with

WHEN SARAH A

Now Sarah sits at eventide,
When day it's glory sees
In twilight, and her fingers glide
Like fairies DER the keys,
The old pianos mellow notes
Like voices, through the haze,
Speak to me, and a vision floats
Before me as she plays.
The keys are yellowed with the years
Yet rise and fall like leaves,
The tones are mellowed as the tears
That flow on as she weaves
With fingers def and fanciful
Her wreaths OF melodies,
And all the harsher notes are still
The while she tempts the keys.
The sweet. half-silent sounds, alone
Shut out the din of day
The sting of sorrows pain has flown,
Its pleasures only stay,
The misted eye roves down the year
Their every gladness sees,
Not sweeter than my joy of tears
Her fairy melodies.
Light as the rustling wind that strays
Where floats the falling leaf,
The treble shrill of joy she plays
And the deep bass of grief.
Half-shadowed, in the dying light,
A witch's spell she lays
Upon my heart, its subtle might
To bind me as she plays.
Now odors sweet and fanciful
Are waited on the air,
And flowers withered long and dull
A fresher fragrance bear,
A deeper. denser perfume clings,
The memories of days
Deserted now, and gladness brings
Me glories as she plays.
A very witchery of peace
Lulls every sigh to sleep,
The warnings die, the longings cease
While Rest descends, a deep
And velvet cloak; chen silently
Sweet Comfort comes and lays
Her velvet cheek and Kisses me
The while that Sarah plays.

SPRING GARDENING,

SPRING GARDENING.
See, tits the spring, and here there
stands
With blisters on his grimy hands,
The man who owns the house and lot
Who's putting in a garden plot,
Not much, you know, but just enough
To furnish crisp, fresh garden stuff,
His coat upon the ground is laid,
In his hot hands he holds a spade.
See now, how fast tits coming up,
Two cats, twelve chickens and a pup
Can find no other place to scratch
Than in his little garden patch,
'Tis then the gardener sees his needs
Some kind of sinkers for his seeds,
And mutters as he looks and sees
Some prayers that sound like-well,
like these:
?:?? !?!??! *-!"!!!??*!+?!
IT'S summer now, there may be seen
A little, struggling patch Of green,
In one lone spot, the gardener spies
With quickening PRIDE and sparkling
eyes,
He waters it with many a thrill,
And waits for 1t to grow and I'LL
To perfect Dloom-at last the breed
Reveals, it is a Unison weed!
Now high again his hopes are sped,
He sees there in the radish bed
Some spots of green; he nurses them

To know that patience promises thee

TO RUN WITH M'KINLEY.
Rumor That webster Davis Is the
Presidents Choice.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 2s.-Webster
Davis, assistant secretary of the interior
and former mayor of Kansas City, has an
ambition to become President McKinleys
running mate this fall. according to this
evenings Star. The Star says:
"Daviss closest friends here in Kansas
City do not hesitate TO believe that he
went to South Africa on some mission other
than in search of health. One of Davis's
warmest admirers tells of a CONVERSE
ton he had with the assistant secretary
of the interior in Washington nearly a
year ago. He says: Il called on Mr.. Davis
In regard to a pension claim. He introduced
me to Cornelius Bliss Bliss talked of the
future of Davis in politics. After We talked
with Mr.. Bliss we went over TO see the
President. Mr.. Mckinley declared that
Davis was destined TO be a great man in
the Nation. The President questioned me
West and said that Missouri would be very
proud of him. After We left the White
House Davis told me he was slated for the
nomination for Vice President. He declared
the President had taken up the subject
with him voluntarily. Mckinley believes
that Davis can carry Missouri for the Re-
publican ticket. He was sent on his
stumping tour of Ohio and out West for no
other purpose than 20 let the people see
him. The trip to South Africa is nothing
more than roova the political checker
board to bring Davis into prominence. ="
