NOT POLITICS But BUSINESS.

In Wyoming the issues presumed in
this campaign to a great extent are
void of politics as such. The uuCs.
ton is. shall We continue present con
.ditions. or will We vote for n change?
1t must be remembered that the
stream eve rises higher than the
source and this fact must be taken in,
to consideration in deciding how We
shall yOt" and the responsibility rests
upon every man and woman and this
duty must be discharged at the polls
~intclligcntly. regardless OF politics,
Every well informed person who has
the least knowledge of the conditions
.of the people of the state must admit
that there has been a change for the
better during the last three years and
a half; hat the citizens of the state
are more content and more prosperous
than they were previous to 1897. No
sane man or woman who will take the
trouble to think would care to go back
to the times between the election of
President Cleveland and that of PrCsi-
dent Mckinley. Now let us ask our
selves whether We shall deliberately
throw away the present prosperity and
return to the times of low prices for
our products of the range, the ranch.

WHEN THE CIRCUIT RIDER CAME


long ago,
When religion was relIeiou not a dressy
fashion show.
When the spliir of the Master fell as
flames of living fire,
And the people did the singing, not a
trained artistic choir.
There was scarcely seen a ripple in llfe's
gently flowing tide.
No events to draw the people from their
daily toll aside.

All his OUTFIT for the tourney packed in
leather saddle bags.
And he'd travel with the Bible or the

Reading sacred word or singing of the
happy Promised Land.
How the tOiIing wives would glory in the
dinners they would spread.
And how many a hapless chicken or n

By the cleaning chopper welded by the

THE WORK.

The republican ticket is a good one.
AS a whole it is as strong as any tick
et ever presented to the voters of AL
bany county. 1t was a convention of
the peoples representatives from all
sections of the county and was the re-
suit Of mature deliberation for the
general welfare.
The legislative ticket is composed of
men of experience in such matters.
The senatorial nominee, Mr.. Balch,
has not only served in the legislature,
but many years of his life have been
devoted to work closely allied there
to. He is we'll posted in the law and
its shortcomings. The candidates for
representatives, with a single eXcep,
ton, Mr.. Hicks, have been in legisla'
tive halls, with honor to themselves
and credit to their constituents. Mr.,
Hicks has served a term in our city
council and has performed other ser
vices which have fitted him for work
at the capital. The Republican now
offers the prediction that Albany coun
ty will furnish the speaker OF the
house OF representatives.

Compulsory Education In Queensland.

Since the early '70s Queensland has
had on its statute books free, compul-
sorry and secular education act. For
reasons which only politicians can eX-
plain the compulsory clauses have
never been enforced. 1t has been
given as an excuse that the public
would object to compulsion, which
would prevent children from working
and thus assisting the family treasury.
While this has been urged the public
has been clamoring for the enforce
ment of the compulsory clauses. At
last public opinion has had its way.
and last week the necessary steps were
taken to put the clauses into operation
and the ansurdity of the argument al
ways advanced against it has been
shown by the whole-hearted manner
in which the new scheme has been
welcomed from one end of the colony
to the other.-J. J. Knight, in Chicago

PEELED me. Whenever fate offered me
the shadow of an opportunity l meant
to steal Mistress Marget and run away
with her. Mistress Marget, as l had
every reason-save spoken words-to
believe, would be by no means unwil-
ling.
The opportunity came when my
sweet lady's father was called away
to fight for his king and country, King
Charles and Bonnie England. l, who
longed to fight for king and country
also, dared the laughter and the jeers
of my comrades to stay behind a little
and steal my lovely lady, if it so
pleased fate. And no sooner had her
father ridden away, at the head of his
men, then l made for the hall and
sought out old Simeon, the gardener.
Sir Reginald had never forbidden my
visits-he was too wise a man to tempt
fate in such a manner; he had merely
taken care that l had no chance Of
solitary speech with my dear lady. l

to have speech with her or with my
lady. Old Simeon l had been friends

played in the gardens with swee Mis-
tress Marget. l knew he was my
friend and would help me. l knew also
that he might speak with his lady
when I might not unmatched and I'M

story, and trusted him for his aid.

he read it found the perspiration oozing
out OF my eyes, and the room was not very

than 1t is to cut new bread with a dull
knife. A man came to me one day and
said he wanted me to write him poem,
which he wanted to set to music. He
gave me brief diagnosis of his wants,
and then said that he wanted each verse to
end thus:
''Oh Newbegin, begin again,
Begin again, Oh Newbegin."

poem to a regular poet, as | was not

tricity, with hard wood floors all over the
house, and in some of the rooms not con-

he has run them half way up the walls of
the room and panneled them. The guests
were received in the parlor by Mr.. and

During the evening Mr.. Colley kindly con-
scented to recite some of his dialect poems,
which were greatly appreciated by all
present. The table IN the dining room
was handsomely decorated with vines of
smilax and cut flowers, a large vase of
roses forming center piece. A bountl-
full supply of delicious refreshments was
served, to which the guests did ample JUS

guests slipped away one by one-literally

After closing the most prosperous year in
it's long career, the Auburn, Maine, firm of
J. F. True & Co. has just entered upon its
fortieth year and is receiving congratulatory
messages and tidings of good will from all
parts of the country.
At its regular yearly meeting officers were
chosen as follows: President DR.. J. F.
True; secretary and treasurer, Edward c.
True directors, Dr. j. F. True K. C. True
and j r. True.
1t was cause for congratulation that the
sales of True's Pin Worm Elixir, begun on so
modest a scale half century ago have shown
a steady increase in volume ever since, and
that even better years in store is indica-
ted by the considerable increase in sales for
1899 over 1898, extending into a wider terri
tory than ever before, covering the entire
country.
The honored head of the firm, now in his
83d year, has seen the triumph of his plans
and enjoys in hale old age the success that
has been developed as the result of his early
faith in his Elixir, and his struggles to found
an enduring business.
