There is hope for him, because he has

The temperance workers OF this coun-
try do not know how men live in the
national capital, or they would make a
demand for a reform which is greatly
needed. They should compel their rep
resentatiyes to Danish from the house
and senate restaurants the poisoned
cup. Wines, beer, ale, whisky and
other Intoxicating drinks should not be
sold in those places. Senators and rep
resentatiyes ought to be able TO spend
the four or five hours of their daily ses-
sions without stimulants of that char
acter. Moreover, the pages and other
employees ought not TO have open sc-
cess TO alcoholic poison while they are
on duty in the capitol building.
There is a congressional temperance
society, but il doesn't amount to much.

FOR HAULING FODDER.
A simple Frame Upon which Three
or Four shocks Can he Carried
with Ease.


Hauling out fodder with an ordinary
hay frame or the wagon or on a sled
with standards at either end is a slow
business when there are large numbers
OF hogs, sheep. cattle and horses to be
fed. When the mercury registers above
15belowz zero and the shocks are covered
with snow and sleet the farmer wants
10 get his fodder out and fed TO the
stock as soon as possible, when he un-
dertakes il. When but one or two shocks
are hauled at a time several trips have
TO be made, making few hours work
take up half day.
The illustration herewith shows a
simple, inexpensive fodder frame OF
gear upon which IL is easy TO haul three
or four large shocks, sometimes five, de-
pending upon the length. which may be

They who have talents and waste
them deserve reprobation, as we are
informed not only in the Bible, but as
a result of our practical experience
with the world.
How many of us have seen brilliant
talents prostituted by men for selfish
pleasures. In every village or town
or city there is to-day living some
man of whom his fellow citizens say;
''He might be leader of men, but he
drinks"
When Billy Mason, of Chicago, was
in congress, ten years ago, people
predicted fame for him; but at last
they said that he would never amount
to anything, because he was a hard
drinker. When he finally left con-
gress even those who admired him
said that he would never be heard
of again, because of his unfortunate
habit. But Billy Mason managed to
conquer or control that habit. AS the
few years passed away, and Mason
was forgotten here, as statesmen are
all forgotten when they leave the cap
ital, the rotund little man was TAX
ing care of himself and preparing for
rehabilitation as statesman. Peo-
pie here were surprised when they
heard that Mason was n candidate for
the senate. They were still more sur
prised when they heard that he had
been elected. They remembered him
as of yore. They did not know that
he had conquered the habit which

grow old and bald, and sometimes
stale, somehow acquire pessimistic
view of the American people, when
they realize that the best men of the
congressional districts are sent here;
and yet these best men are so far
from being worthy men. So many Of
them lack the fundamental principle
of good citizenship, love of family
and home. So many of them bury
their best talents and cover them
with selfshness. So many of them
seek the evanescent pleasures of the
passing days.
There came to Washington a man
from Iowa, n brilliant orator, a man
who had won renown as n soldier, a
man who had done deeds of valor in
the civil war which still stand forth
in the memory OF his friends. But he
became an habitual drunkard. Tai

Ordinarily, no senator would have
