Real AdVersity

Sometimes adversities sweep
a mans money, stock or posi-
ton from him and then we say
that [ .e man has hard luck.
And so has he. .Our sympathies
go out to the honest man who
is striving to succeed in a bust
ness way legitimately, who runs
amuck of losses great and
small. But talk about real
hard luck-let us tell you when
a man meets up with it. 1t Is
when a child of his goes wrong.
What's the loss of dollars when
compared with the loss of con-
idence in boy? What's the
temper of the ill wind of finan.
cial reverses compared with the
blighting blast that brings to
you the sad story of on migrate
ul son? Sometimes we note
the misfortunes which troops
upon the heels of business eu.
terprises and wonder how he
who bears the brunt of the
storm holds up his head. Back
of his business life we get a
glimpse of dutiful children 1and
aud the sequel of the story is
at hand. Then 0again we see
a man fairly prospecting, yet
walking in the gloom of despon-
dency. All, too often, there is
an ungratetul child stirring the
fountain of his tears. The har-
dest luck, the grateful misfor
tune is dishonoring offspring.
And that brings us to the har-
dest problem in all the books,
IN all the experience of the
world-how to raise children;
how shall we act towards our
bows that they may glow up to
be dutiful and manly? Who
can solve that enigma? It's a
problem that weighs every
father down with it's gravity.
Aud still the responsibility of
of its solution Iests upon us all.

Two Bouncing Big Engines.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 90
Two giant engines stand on the
track at the Baldwin locomo-
tive works ready for shipment
to Chicago. There they will be
given trial of speed which is
expected by the members of the
great engine building firm to re-
tain for the @. B. and Q. rail-
road the lucrative government
contract fur carrying fast mail
between Chicago and the west.
The new machines are marvels
of mechanical perfection from
whatever point of view. The
pair of grayhounds of the rail
are the first finished products
of an order for thirty high
grade engines placed by the
Burlington road two years ago.
The other twenty eight, whic h
are of different type, but like
wise of racing qualities, will
not be flushed until next spring
though work upon them is now
under way.

Thus it will be readily seen that
the easier and more satisfactory
way out OF the whole proposition
IS for all voters to call at the poll
ing places in the several precincts
throughout the county on October
goth and register with the JUDGES
Of election. This does away with
any question as to a fulfllment Of
the law and leaves the voter free
to exercise his right as a citizen on
election day.
The advice Of The UNION is for
all voters to register as above set
forth. # you register, there is no
question about your right to vote.
If you do not register there is a
possibility Of your vote being re-
fused.
