that ed. Pratt has not found any
sand in Florida that is any better
than his own patch Of Blue Hill
sand" @s-52 55.z.
Yes! That's just the way he
talks it but to my certain knowl-
edge that same Ed. Pratt's waist
band has become SO tight that he
can hardly button it, and his wife
says she is very sure that the eli
mate is helping her though they
have only been here about a
month. Shell gathering and
Florida sunshine certainly seem to
agree with them both.
We had a very pleasant trip
home from Minnesota, though we
witnessed one very unpleasant in
cident. As our train drew up to
the depot at the city Of Corinth, it
being Sunday morning a good
many idlers, both white and black,
were standing about, among the
rest very young white man who
had a dog with him. The dog for
some reason pitched on to a little
colored child and bit him. OF
course the child's father drove the
dog away, whereupon the white
boy commenced cursing the negro
and finally struck him. Then the
negro took the white boy down
and held him till a man on board
the train went and made them
stop and let the boy get up. The
negro went about his business, but
no sooner was the white boy liber-
ated than he ran to an old build
ing and got piece of brick in
each hand and made for the negro
again swearing that he would kill
him. The negro jumped and
threw both arms around him and
held him so that he couldn't do
much execution with his bricks.
Just then q very stylish southern
lady, who had just entered the car,
RAN out and catching hold Of the
white boy told him he was drunk
and ought to be ashamed of him.
self, made him throw down his
bricks and told him he had no
business disgracing the city of
Corinth in that style on a Sunday
morning and that they we're not in
the habit Of having any such
works. He. tried to tell her of bad
things concerning the negro. She
told him she had seen it all and
that he was all the one to blame,
that the negro had been faithful
porter in that city for the last
twenty years. Then she. ordered
him to get into the hack and 60
home and sleep off his drunk and
stay there until he could behave
himself. He left swearing that he
would kill the negro yet. =,
How [ did admire that lady's
courage and spirit and how I pray
that the time may come soon when
every lady in the south will take
the stand she took, for I know
that our chivalrous southern naen
will listen to them, and I believe
that then, and am afraid that not
till then, wild the horrible atrocities
which are disgracing our whole
nation be stopped in this, our ss soowr
beautiful seeath land. -@- :.

when Mrs. Bolton had fairly gone, and
Puss came peeping cautiously In and
sprang into her mistress lap with an
affectionate new, Miss Martha clasped
this sympathetic friend to her heart
and cried bitterly.
But Mrs. Bolton went on her way
rejoicing. The path to the village lay
through tiny bit Of woods, where
the ground sloped away to a little
hollow. The spring sunshine lay on
everything-on the young leaves, on
the rocks beside the path, on the little
green things pushing their heads up
from under last years fallen leaves.
The birds sang gayly, the hum OF bees
came from the fragrant crab apple
tree that stood like pink and white
cloud beside the way and tiny thread
of water murmured glad little song
to itself as it hurried over the pebbles.
Yet Mrs. Bolton saw and heard none
of these things She walked in the
sunshine of kind deed performed,
and heard the inaudible blessings of a
grateful heart.

internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress

INSURE MARY.

mo, my wife does not carry policy
on her life II thought II | keep up
the payments on my policy in favor OF
Mary and the children, that would be
all the insurance we would need. y
See here, brother, you are delirious,
you dream, you do not think clearly,
you over estimate your powers. You
admit that it would be hard for Mary
to provide for the children if you were
taken away and you want TO secure the
best you can for the little ones. You
are right in this, it would ne hard on
Mary, and the children would suffer
without the help OF your insurance
Cling TO IL at all hazards. But say.
Had you ever thought that Mary conld
do better by the children without you
than you could do by the children
without Mary? That is the exact fact.
Mary is the better manager of the two.
She can make the children comfort
able upon what would be entirely in-
adequate for you.
You can work at your trade but YOU
can't keep house and care for the
bone at the same time. You must
have a more expensive house keeper
than Mary proved TO be if she should
be taken away. There will be funeral
expenses TO meet, changed conditions
in the household, additional expenses
in the home, breaking 10 upon your
labors and income, all Of which will
bring hardships if not want to add to
the weight OF sorrow in bereavment.
Why run this chance? Why wrong
the children by subjecting them TO
this liability? Why not give the chill
dren full and not half protection?
Rouse up brother and get policy on
Mary's life to hedge against this dis.
aster. Let husband and wife carry
policies, then when death comes it
will find provisions made and the fami-
ly prepared to encounter the bereav-
ment and yet ride the storm Elk.

IT'S WELL TO REMEMBER

That when eggs are scarce, cake can
be made from the whites and custard
from the yolks. That the whites OF
four eggs, one cup OF fine granulatcd
sugar, one-half cup OF butter, two cups
OF pastry flour, one teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder, one teaspoonful OF flavor
ing, will make sheet cake.
That the yolks OF four eggs, one scant
quart OF milk, one cupful of sugar, salt
and flavoring, will make a nice baked
or boiled custard.

No man is bound to believe in our
Order, or in any other fraternal socie-
ty. Some people don't believe In co.
operation OF any kind. Such persons
may be misguided, but their opinions
being honest, are entitled to respect.
But it is the insiduous foe; the pre-
tended friend, who stabs behind the
back, the member OF fraternal soci-
ETY. who accepts the protection, thus,
in measure acknowledging his conf
dence in It's stability, and yet has new.
err word to say in its behalf, who on
the contrary, is not infrequently heard
to hint, word, an inuendo that is cal

quick. Any fraternal order is better

our calendar. No century can begin
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every twen-

the same day of the week as January,
April as July September as December.
February, March and November begin
on the same days, May, June and
August always begin on different days
from each other aud every other month
in the year. The first and last days OF
the year are always the same. These
rules do not apply to leap year, when

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN.

Once woman took hint from man,
And al the same time took his shirt;
II now he takes hint from her
And takes her shirt waist, too, who's hurt
Shall he be shamedY Shall woman show
More courage and more sense than her
Since her shirt doesn't why should his,
Uncovered, shock propriety
Shall woman now monopolize
The comfort that shirt confers
On humid, not humanity
When il is worn as she wears hersr
Why should he swelter on, nor dare
10 dream that he for dinner dressed
Until his shirt is all but hid
From sight beneath a coat and vestS
Must he still like a mummy swathe
Himself To suit conventions rule,
While woman in the shirt she took
From him, contrives to keep so cools
Twas thus one mortal queried till
A roasting day and then he ran
The gauntlet of the guyers as
The bold, unblushing shirt waist man.

There is nothing which makes
people so strong as not caring about
a thing, and there is nothing which
makes people not care about a
thing except caring about something
else. This is the reason that things
temporal fail to turn the heads OF

opened to the things eternal. 1t is on

When they are treated as spoilt child

have as good women, and there is

Oregon Reporter: Stick to it; this
is the great secret of success in what
ever undertaking you may engage.
Work early and late; never give up;
always have full confidence in your
self and you will be pretty sure
to come out on top of the pile. Stick
to it is exemplifed in history. The
Greeks before Troy stuck to it and
they took the place; the allied forces
stuck before Sebastopol and the sup
posedly impregnable fortress fell into
their hands; Grant stuck TO it.; and his
sticking TO it and his dge-hammer
blows caused the strife among broth
ers to cease when nearly verybody
had begun to give up hope Another
point is to have faith in your Order;
If you have not, no one else will have.
Look at things in rosy light, even If
prospects appear anything but bright.
1t is the pleasant business man who
has the biggest run OF trade it is the
pleasant physician who cures more pa

their love, and it is the pleasant man
who is the healthiest, not the cross
