Imperial Famine.

HERE is an editorial from the
st. Louis Republic that strikingly
agrees with il number of uttcranccS
lately expressed by the MESSAGE:
In the late cable news from In
dia there are given certain details
of the misery caused by the famine
now prevailing which cannot fail
To touch the hearts of all who read
with the kecncSt pity.
Countless natives have been
found stark in the open fields, dead
from starvation. instances are re-
ported where little children, them
selves starving, have been sold that
their parents might get food. In
other eases children have been
found wandering, naked and dcStl-
tute, abandoned by their parents
to die alone and homeless. There
are now many millions of natives

Meditations on the Lesson.
|. Jesus was wise Teacher and
adapted Himself to every class of
hearers. He came into the world
to save men by all possible means.
We saw in our last lesson how he
treated poor Responding John in
prison. But all were not so easily
persuaded and so in this lesson He
resorts to warnings and invitations.
>. AS we come here for the first
time upon these words of indigna-
ton and denunciatiOn from the
lips of the gentle ann loving Sa-
vior, we are startled that He
should manifest such feelings and
use such expressions. but sin
and unbclief are terrible evils, and
may be terribly denounced in
righteous anger, 1t is sometimes
necessary to strike hard to make
an impression"
a Methodist preacher being lect-
ured for not preaching in a quieter
tone, AS the temple was erected in
silence, replied; II am not build
ing temples; am blasting rock"
An unrepented sin cannot he
pardoned; and, while we are to
love the sinner, we must condemn
the sin, and hold the sinner guilty
till he repents. Our duty is to try
to bring him into an attitude of
penitence SO he can be forgiven.
The lesson taught, is, that men
will be judged according to the
light they have.
III. This invitation to take the
yoke in order to find rest"
seems paradoXical, and yet this is
the secret of IA happy life. A lazy
Christian is the devils tool; and
do-nothing Christian is an unhappy
man.

Valuable Geese.

According to George F. Smithers,

the neighborhood keep large ilocks Of
geese TO work in the gold fields for

A Good Jumper,

Mckinley has turned three
somcrsaults on public questions
since his inauguration.
But, first, in the words Of an
other, What is the administration
at Washington. anyway! What
does it stand for?" In his annual
message to Congress in December,
1898. Mr.. Mckinley said of the is
lands which had come to us by
treaty with Spain, Forciblc annex
alton of these islands would be
criminal aggression and must not
be thought of for Il moment. In II
few months afterwards he was
swinging around II political circle
and declaring that we have cX-
banded. y
In his message to Congress only
last December he declared that all
customs duties must be removed
from commodities shipped to and
from Porto Rico. Then only II
few days ago he signed bill
placing discriminating duties upon
commodities exported from and
imported to that unfortunate is
land, whose people are impovcr-
ishcd and whose industries are par
allied because of years of warfare
with Spain. The President
changed his opinion upon this
questions: so did Mr. Paine, chair
man of the committee who had IT
in charge; so did the Speaker of
the House. Why! What strange
change came over the spirit of their
dreams! At this point it is inter-
csting to quote from II bright Ne
hraSkn exchange: In looking
over the Congressional Record We
find that the president of the OK
nard Beet Sugar Company APP
pcarcd before the Ways and Means
committee and presented in argu,
mcnt in.favor of II tariff upon Por,
to Rico sugar. and altho his pres
ence was not solicited from that
time forward these three dignitaries
of the Republican party nc longer
advocated free trade between Porte
Rico and the United States.
And then when we think OF Me
Kinlcy's somcrsault on the ques
ton of the free coinage of silver
we are further constrained to ask,
what does the administration StanC
for,
A good jumper indeed who cal
change his position on public
questions with iii equal agility t.
that of William Mckinley.

been quick to recognize the fact
that we have been offering val
ucs that no other millinery house
has offered. Buying as we do
this line of goods for four stores,
we can use quantities that no
other house can, hence we buy
cheaper than any Of our com
pctitors. besides no extra rent
to pay and other features. We
can assure YOU of Il saving of -
to % per cent on your millinery

THE ELECTION.

The result of the election Tuesday was
what the Republicans anticipated
larger electoral vote for Mckinley than
that given him in 1896. 1t was a land
slide in many respects and the result has
filled the Nation with pride and patriotic
fervor. The people of the country may
well congratulate themselves that the
result was overwb elmingly favorable to
Mckinley, continuation of four years
more of the administration of President
Mckinley means a continuation of pros
perity and good government.
The county election was not what the
Republicans expected. The election of
II. w. Evans for Representative, L. G.
GFobety for County Attorney, and H. r..
Brown for Commissioner, was expected.
from the fact That the county has given
Mckinley and Roosevelt electors Il small
majority. But of the causes which led
to the defeat of portion of our county
ticket we must defer. On no personal
account were the candidates defeated.
r. w. Evans carried his own ward by
a good majority land this is a Democratic
ward. Wherever known Mr.. Evans ran
zahead of his ticket.

Don't Kill the Birds.

There quite good number of
quails scattered through the valley now
and each year brings more. If hunters
would only refrain from killing them in
few years would have as many
quails as the thicker settled states eff the
east. The quails are the farmers best
friend. They destroy many insects and
therefore save the growing crops. There
are other birds that should be protected.
A pair of robins will bring to their
brood in season more than 5000
worms. The robin alone saves to the
farmers of the United States more than
enough to compensate them for injury
done by all other birds together.
1hrushes and 1arks feed in much the
same manner. The wood pc cker is
Instrumental to a great extent i'll preserv-
ing valuable timber, for il is ever on the
lookout for wood boring beetles, wood
ants and other insects that bore into trees.
The sap-sucker is CONDEMNED because of
the IN Jury it inf1icts upon an apple tree.
but then the good it does connterbalences
this lesser evil. When any of the birds
are seen to be particularly active and
busy and present in large numbers. close
observation will reveal the fact that some
noxious insect is very largely present.

A Calls Experience.

An almost incredible story com es from
Stevens county, this week, in regard to
to The length of time a calf may exist
without food or drink. Messrs Pat
Burns and VIM. Neff were gathering their
cattle to make a shipment of COWS. Mr..
Burns found a COW belonging to Mr.. Neff
that was lingering in the vicinity of an
abandoned we'll. Being in haste, Mr.
Burns drove off the COW without finding
her calf The COW was shipped "a few
days later. The calf not being found, a
search was made. Remembering the fact
of finding the cow near the old we'll, MIR.
Burns determined upon an examination
of the we'll. This was three weeks after
the time of finding the mother. With
no hope of finding the calf alive, but to
determine. if possible, its wherea bouts,
he sought the we'll. Imagine his aston
ishment upon finding the animal alive
and able to move about in the bottom OF
the forty foot dry we'll a rope was
thrown ever the Calls hind foot and with
the help OF several neighbors, it was
drawn to the top. Upon being released
rate, apparently not much the worse for
it's three weeks fast. Were it not for the
fact that the shipment of the mother
would definitely fix the time of the ac-
cident, we would think a mistake ha d
been made as to the length OF time the
animal had been in the hole. AS we said
at the beginning, it seems almost in
credible that a calf conld live three
weeks without nourishmenf. get such
seems to be a fact.-LiberaI News.
