Grant on obstruct1on1sts.


The Central Wisconsin makes the fol-
lowing quotation from Gen. Grants
memoirs:
Experience proves that the man
who obstructs war in which his ma
ton is engaged, no matter whether
| right or wrong, occupies no enviable
| position in life or history. Better for
him, individually, to advocate war.
| pestilence, and famine than to act as
an obstructionist in war already be-
gun"
And the Central comments thereon
by saying:
Gen. Grant was a quietman but when
he said anything, from military or
civic standpoint, it meant something
and he was generally right.
We do not intend to enter into any
! discussion with the Central, but its quo
tation from Gen. Grants memoirs
seems to furnish some food for refec-
| ton.
What was Gen. Grants meaning?
What lesson did he intend to impress
upon the reader? He was describing
the pitiful personal predicament of
those Southerners whose love of their
country's traditions and flag, was so
| great that it compelled them to brave
the ostracism which opposition to Sc
cession visited upon them. Did he
mean to warn us by their fate, that we
should never oppose war carried on
by the government under which we
live? Suppose it is "better for him IN
dirduGlty to advocate war, pestitence
and famine, than to act as an obstruc-
zionist in a war already begun" is the
citizen therefore advised to be coward,
to look out for his own individual" in
terests and let the country go to de-
struction, without raising his voice in
protest or warning? Certainly if an at
tempt to save his country from such
| peril involves one in such individual
trouble as Gen. Grant mentions, those
| noblest elements of character, courage,
fortltude, and love must govern him
who for love of his country and his fell
low men assumes that.risk. We do not
believe Gen. Grant was the sort of man
to advise citizens to choose their own
safety and comfort in preference to the
welfare of their country And if the
upbuilding of personal character is of
greater and more enduring value to the
individual than the attainment of peace
of mind, physical comfort and worldly
wealth, was Gen. Grant correct in say
ing that it would be better for man in
dividually to advocate war pestilence,
and famine than to act as an obstruc-
zionist in a war already begun" How
can man retain any noble element Of
character and advocate war, pesti-
lence, and famine?' Does it profit a
man to gain the world, by losing his
soul? No Christian man or woman
can hesitate for an answer.
And, Notwithstanding Gen. Grants
sweeping statement, history, even the
history of ones own country, sometimes
does justice to the obstructionist, as
English history has to the memory of
Fox and Burke for their opposition to
their home government in its attempt
to force the American colonies, against
their will, to submit to foreign rule.

Briefly the Science of 0steopathy is DRUG
LESS system u treating diseases or disorders
of the human system
1t recognizes the FACT that NATURE has
provided within the body all the requisites for
its DEVELOPMENT and REPAIR; that inter

The treatment consists in adjusting the

Janice, do as thou art told, or go

The girl opened her lips as if about

she hurriedly left the parlor, and, fly

on her bed and wept out her sense of
wrong on her pillow
"Doggone it," she sobbed, I'm not

so does dadda, and now it's UP to his

herself, stifed her sobs once more in

~. Of Game. II

Among the gifts at the Christmas
season are many of game, which are ex-
changed between this country and for
eign countries, chiefly England. Thus,
Englishmen send here pheasants and
grouse and so on, and Americans send
to England canyasback ducks, wild tur-
keys and other choice game. These
things may be sent from either coun.
try to the other, say by bankers; New
York banking house sending the game
Of this country to members of the house
representing it in London, and London
bankers, it may be, sending English
game to members of the American
house representing it here. Merchants
in both countries maintain the same
pleasant custom with their representa-
lives abroad, and private persons in
either country send game to their
friends in the other.
This game is packed in hampers and
shipped in the refrigerator rooms of the
steamers on which it is carried, and it
reaches its destination, on either side,
in perfect condition. Every year at this
season many such packages find their
way across the Atlantic in one direction
or the other.
There is now considerable American
game exported, this being trade that
has been developed chiefly within the
past ten or twelve years. October, No
vember and December are the months
in which American game is most large
1y exported, the quantities depending
more or less on the season and the sup
ply. There are sent from here prairie
chickens, quails, various kinds of ducks
and other game. This game is shipped
mostly to Liverpool, whence it is dis
tributed. American game in its sea-
son may now be had in various countries
Of Continental Europe as well as in
England; Berlin being the largest con-
sumer among the continental cities.
There is some game imported into
this country from European countries,
this including venison, quails, par
tridges, pheasants and ducks from
France, and pheasants from England,
and grouse from Scotland. The foreign
game is imported principally during
the close season of American game. 1t
is sold, some to families. but mainly to
the more expensive hotels and restau-
rants,-N. Y. Sun.

An Arisona Contrivance to Increase

The cottonwoodss have she'd their
caterpillars; there has been thunder
storm; mesquite wood has fallen in
price; Indians are selling bows and ar
rows; the rose and the oleander have
long been out; oranges are in bloom;
the umbrella tree is putting out its
leaves; last summers suit has been
cleaned and pressed; the small boy has
gone swimming in the canal; the wise
man stays up nights and steals irriga-
ton water from his neighbors; alfalfa
is most ready to cut; strawberries have
been shipped; mulberries are nearly
ripe; summer will soon be here, and
the Phoenix summer bedroom will soon
be necessity, says the Arizona
Graphic.
Phoenix sleeps out Of doors in the
summer, and the bedroom is born of
that necessity. It is on stills, is built
Of wire screen Of fine mesh, for the
Phoenix mosquito is microscopic in
size. It is furnished, according to the
taste of the occupant, with interior
curtains, to keep out the morning sun,
the gaze of the curious and, the sand
storm.
The bed is. cot Of canvas or woven
wire, covered perhaps with sheet,
but even sheet feels like a feather
bed on a Phoenix summer night. The
bed covering is the roof of the bed
room and careless folks who consult
their comfort only don't wear night
shirts. ..rH
Phoenix is proud of it's climate dur
ing eight months of the year, but it
doesn't talk much in public about its
midsummer. It is a right warm day
when the government weather bureau
doesn't know what the sun tempera-
ture is, and is unable to determine it,
and that is how hot it gets in Phoenix.
I called on Observer Burns one day
last July and asked him what the of
fcial' temperature was in the SUM-.
He said he did not know, and that
the government couldn't afford to ex-
pertinent to that end. He said he had
attempted to catch the sun tempera-
ture during the summer of 1898, and
had broken a three-dollar thermom-
eter in the attempt. To please my
curiosity he hung thermometer in
the sun, watched it until it registered
1876 degrees, and then took it in, fear
ing it would break.
The dryness of the atmosphere re-
lieves this great heat of any ter
rors to all living things except women
and cats. There is saying in Phoenix
that in summer women and cats are
nervously Frustrated, while men and
dogs thrive and grow fat. There is
luxury in quenching ones thirst dur
ing the summer heat that is possible
nowhere this side of the hereafter, and
nothing will quench it so we'll as ola
water. The average mortal can drink
gallon of water per day during the
heated time, and apparently every drop
of it comes out through the pores of the
skin.

GREAT SEASON FOR DEER.
Some Sections of the Country Are
Reported to De swarming with
the Game.

From the far north and far south OF
our country come reports that show
that the present deer season is a good
one. Few think of the south as deer
shooting country, and yet we'learn that
this year the wild swamp forest belt
between Savannah and the high lands
of Georgia is swarming with game.
Deer have been protected there for
some years now, but IS a fact, the ma
ture Of the country is their best pro-
lection.
Imagine leaving the city of Savannah
at ten o'clock in the morning and at II
o'clock calmly surveying splendid
buck just fallen from your bullet. That
was the experience week or two ago
Of DR.. Corbin, of Georgia's chief sea-
port. A few days after that Albert
Wylly left Savannah at $3.50 in the aft
ernoon for Bourquin's plantation. a
few miles out in the woods, and within
~ minutes after his. arrival started up
four deer. He did not get any Of them,
but the next day, being better pre-
pared, had better luck.
These two instances show what is
going on in Georgia, in deer hunting
way. From the other end of the coun-
try the reports are quite as lively.
Maine has so many deer this fall that
they are appearing on the outskirts Of
many large towns. The Portland Press
reports that a deer dashed across coun-
try, into the city limits of Portland the
other day, and escaped before any of
the astonished citizens could get their
guns.
Even the moose are wandering out of
their Businesses. These great animals
seeem to belong exclusively to the big
woods. For one to venture on to rail-
road track in long settled region like
the town of Bridgton was very surpris-
ing, but it is not an isolated case.
In the town of Winslow one recent
Sunday large moose was seen, and
pursued Tor some distance. Winslow
is the next town to the busy city of Wa
terville, and its settlement dates back
more than a century and quarter. 1t
is many miles from the game regions,
and the presence of moose there indi-
