There are certain class OF people
who are never happy except when
they are busy predicting that the
country is going to the dogs. They
are always filled with gloomy forebod-
ings about the future. III there is a
strike in town in Connecticut, they
feel certain that the whole country Is
going to be turned into commune,
and the streets are to run with blood.
They take positive delight in predict
ing late frosts, and they regard the
grasshopper and cotton-worm as friends
and brethren.
1t rarely ever happens that any OF
these predictions come to pass, but
that does not discourage them in the
least. They keep on, hoping for some
thing worse TO turn up in the future.
They remind one very much of the
Boston lady whose teeth the dentist
was fixing, and who emitted the most
horrible groans.
"Am l hurting you much? Are you
in acute pain?" asked the dentist.
"Ohl not in the least; but do love
to groan!"

to groan!

We have the unfortunate, downcast
and disconsolate, all along our path
way in life, and little help, or few
kind words, are to them as refresh
ing shower, or sweet benediction. 1t
is at this season of the year when we
give thanksgiving for our own bless
ings, and give and receive the loving
gifts of the holidays, the less fortunate
in life are most entitled TO kind con-
sderation. 1t is the last festive season
of the century and should be made
memorable by every person, doing
some good and noble act to relieve the
distress of the unfortunate. You can
always help the aged and infrm who
are unable to help themselves, lift up
the heart bowed down, or wipe the
falling tear from the face of sorrow.
Touched by loving heart,
Weakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken
VIII vibrate no more"

"Consume Your Own smoke"-A Word to
the VS..


the VS..
A gilded youth, lately arrived from
England, was astonishing the inhabi-
tants OF small country town In Aus
tralia by his loud patterned trousers
turned up at the ankles, pointed shoes,
hugh walking stick, and most of all by
his pronunciation OF his mother tongue.
Suddenly his affections were caught
by pretty girl, one OF the Sydney Y's,
on visit to her country cousins. One
day, as he was devoting himself to her
at picnic, he asked with drawl, II
hopper Miss Blank-er that you do
not object to me having a segaw?"
"Most certainly not, she replied,
Railways providing you consume your
own smoke, and do not blow it from
your mouth and throat and nostris
into my face"
"Oh-er-I will blow it into the air"
''For me to inhale? Thank you! You
have no more right to pollute the air 1
breathe than you have to spit in my
face"
The young fellow, who was no fool,
saw the point at once, and is now a
very active member OF the Anti-Tobac-
co League, and his contact with sensi-
BILE men has effected wonderful
change in his costume as we'll as his
manners.
Thinking this over it struck me that
this dear girls suggestion applied to
more persons than smokers.
How often people sadden us by the
enumeration of their woes, the delicate
| health OF themselves or members OF
their family, troubles of different sorts
and forms; then often we discover tina
they actually thought we enjoyed hear
ing about them, and that they did not
feel half as anxious or uncomfortable
as their recital has made us. Physi-
clans declare there are many persons
who enjoy want Of health because Of
the attentions they thus gain from
others; but surely such forget the fable
about the boys who derived much
pleasure from pelting frogs in pond.
"Yes," said one of the amphioians, cit
may be great fun to you but it is death
to u.s."
| And it is an acknowledged fact that
many a valuable life has been sacri-
feed simply and solely by the sym
pathy and services expended unremit-
tingly upon a selfish semi-invalid.
Many other examples might be
quoted, but space only permits of one.
A young man entered the public bar OF
one of our saloons, Saturday night,
with bundle of copies of the War
Cry, the official paper of the Salvation
Army, and boldly asked the publican
to buy one. mo" roared the man,
yet out of the place or III make you.
You lett one here a month or SO ago
and instead of throwing it into the fire
wrapped it round bottle of whiskey
and the purchaser OF the spirits read

The fraternal societies are steadily
growing in scope and power. Thous-
ands upon thousands OF widows and
fatherless children have occasion to
bless the day when the bread winner
Of the family connected himself with
them. The brotherly hand in time Of
deep distress, the assurance that there
is ever barrier between those depend
ent upon one s efforts and the unknown
future-these are considerations whose
Importance cannot be overestimated.-

No good man or brother with a pure
heart or right intentions, will desire
to be excused from his duty. Those
who cherish respect for fraternity and
its teachings will esteem attendance at
the meeting a privilege rather than a
task. There is no test that more clear
ly reveals the amount of regard which
members cherish for their lodge or the
welfare OF the order and the carrying
out Of its good purposes, than their
habits of attendance at stated meet
ings. Were all as negligent in this
respect, the lodge room would cease to
be, and the great good which is being
accomplished by our beloved order
would cease.-Fraterna New.

DeKalb county. 1t is stated that he is
an escaped convict and that he will be

Rasmus Sorensen has recently
returned from a conference with j
j. Hill, on the proposed road run
ming north twenty miles from
Devils Lake. Mr.. Hill stated that
he would not build the road, but
would do everything in his power
to help the farmers construct and
operate it. Mr.. Hill instructed
Mr.. Sorenson how to proceed, and
estimated that twenty miles of
road could be graded, ironed and
supplied with rolling stock fol
$4,000. During the talk with Mr.,
Hill he expressed the opinion that
the price of wheat would not be
any higher n~extfall than it is now.

would keep the price down. He
