ance. The United States Supreme
court says, "The statistics of every
state show q greater amount Of
crime and misery attributed TO the
use Of ardent spirits, obtained at
these liquor saloons, than to any
other cause" II then, as Glad.
stone says, "It is the object OF gov
ernment to make it as easy as pos
sible for men to do right and as
difficult as possible for them to do
wrong" then this monstrous cause
of crime must be swept away.

The license liquor system is q
stupendous farce. You had as

break l,oe and bite the children,
as for the state to entrench this
monster at every crossing and then

consideration it shall have the pro-

The restrictions thrown about the
licensed liquor traffic presents the
most elaborate production OF q

the stage by the ingenuity OF the

The exceptionally vet season has
produced conditions that have been
very favorable TO the development
of animal parasites. The eggs or
young embryos need moisture for
development, and this year there
has been plenty. The effects are
now being realized in the very great
loss Of lambs due to twisted stom-
ach worms.
The symptoms Of stomach worm
disease are not very characteristic
and therefore do not admit of close
description. They are dnllness,
loss Of appetite, increased thirst, (,
diarrhoea may or may not be pre-
sent, a part may show an accumu-
lation Of fluid between the jaws,
grinding Of the teeth; there is q
stiffness Of the back and hind parts,
and tagging behind the flock. In
accute cases there may be evidence
of pain, as collie, eating unusual
material, and much bleating.
Some die suddenly without showing
evidence Of disease. The majority
linger for a week or two and then
die. Old sheep are not much af-
fected.
The parasite causing the disease
is found in the fourth stomach. 1t
lie small, being only about one-half
inch in length, and thieadlike. If
a lamb be killed these worms may
be seen to be pinkish from the blood

may also be resorted to. The main
object is to get the sheep off Of the

"NOW l LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP"
The fire upon the he arth is low,

The fire upon the he arth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The fire light shadows fluttering go;
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And, softly, from farther room
Comes, "Now 1 lay me down to Sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
Ny thoughts 60 back to distant years
And linger with dear one there;
And, as hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith conee back TO me.
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
0 for an hour in that dear place!
o for the peace of that dear time!
0 for that childish trust sublime!
0 for glimpse Of mothers face
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic Of that treble tone
And, 'Now lay me down to sleep"

CYRUS NOBLE Is DEAD.
Famous Distillcr Recently Pass
ed Away at Lynchburg, o.

one Of the best known names In the
United States IL Cyrus Noble, after
whom celebrated brand Of whisky
was named Cyrus is no more, but his
memory will live on as long as men
lmblbe good liquor. The news Of Mr.
Soble's death was conveyed in a let
ter received by George A. Lewis Of
This city. who formerly lived at Lynch
burg, O.. the home OF Mr. Noble.
Noble himself never touched liquor
OF any kind. but for many years was
superintendent Of a large distiilery at
Lynchburg, where the manufacture Of
whisky Is an important industry
Eventually he was sent out West by
his firm 10 sell liquor, and his re-
markable success prompted the firm
to name brand after him. Stree
then this brand has become famous al
over the West. though II IS not so we'll
known in the Eastern states. Mr.. No
BILE was at one time interested in the
Lynchburg distillery but during the
last few years OF his life was not con-
nected with the liquor concerns.
Deceased was a very large and pow
erful man. and his unfailing good ma
ture endeared him TO all who knew
him. He was often twitted about his
weight and had always declined to step
upon the scales to satisfy the curios-
ity OF his friends. One day however,
Mr. Mobiles weight was determined by
a resourceful friend who induced him
to take a buggy ride, During the ride
the buggy was driven onto a hay scales
and the weight Of the men, horse and
cart recorded. Later. when Mr.. Noble
was taken back to his home, :he own

Speculation was rife in Astoria yes
terday as to the identity Of the French
bark that collided with the Walla Wal
Ia. In San Francisco there seemed TO
be no doubt that the vessel was from
this port and during the day persistent
inquiries were made Two French yes
sells that left Astoria recently-the La
moricicrc and Francois Coppee-may
have been on Mendocino when the
disaster occurred. However. the be-
lief is pretty general that the vessel,
II really from this port, was the La
moircere, which might expect some
such disaster to round out her streak
OF hard luck. The Lamorlclere was out
G. hours when the collision occurred.
The French bark, whatever 1t may
have been, was certainly far out Of her
course, and there is a growing belief
that the vessel was inward bound In
stead Of outward bound. The French
ships are nearly all provided with COM
partments, and from Captain Halls
account OF the disaster, published else
where In the AstorIan, Il Is probable
the bark did not founder.
