HERES To DAD.

We happened in II home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worhcd in letters OF rcd,
"What is home without mother"
Across the room was another brief,
GOOD LESS our home," says the Ste
vens County RevciIe.
Now what's the matter with "God
bless our Dad.' He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his
dinner pail, and wipes off the dew Of
the dawn witch his boots while many
a mother is sleeping. He makes the
weekly handout for the butcher, the
grocer, the mlkman and baker, and
his little pile is badly worn before lie
has been home an hour. He stands
off the bailiF and keeps the rent paid
up. Ii Johnny needs a new, pair Of
shoes, dad goes down in his dip and
comes up with the price Of new pair
and hard days sweat. Ii Mary needs
Il new ribbon for her hair and babe
bowls for rattle, down goes dad
again and up comes the coin. But if
he buys new PIPE for quarter be-
cause the old one was getting a bit
strong, look out.
When a show strikes town, dad
comes up with the price, and ma goes
oft With neighbor, and Mary sparks
her beau in the parlor. Dads clothes
are none too good, and grim will
stick, so he sits in the kitchen with
the kids.
Ii there is noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go downstairs to find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darns the socks,
but dad bought the socks in the first
place, and the needles and the yarn
afterwards. Mother does up the fruit
we'll dad bought it all and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief. Dad
buys chickens ior the Sunday dinner,
carves it himself and draws the neck
from the ruins after everyone else is
served. "What's a home without a
mother" Yes that is all right but
what is home without father? Ten
chances to one it is boarding h ouse,
fatheris under slab, and the landlady
is tho widow. Dad here's to you;
you've got your iaults-you may have
lots of 'em-but you're all right, and
we will miss you when you're gone.

Some people contrive to get hold OF
the prickly side of everything, to run
against all the sharp corners and
disagreeable things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as well make
up your mind, to begin with, that no
one finds the world quite as he would
like it; but you are to take your part
and bear it bravely. You will be sure
TO have burdens upon you which be-
long to other people, unless you are a
shirker yourself; but don't grumble.
il there is work to be done and you
can do it, never mind about that one
who ought to have done it, but didn't.
Those workers who smooth away the
rough spots and fill up the gaps and
finish up the jobs which others leave
undone-these are the true peace
makers, and worth a whole regiment
pf GROWERS.

corning the August school apportion-
ment of sI73o, which failed to reach us
at that time show conclusively that the
money has been refunded to Adams

was erroneous. The matter is settled as
the county superintendent held that it
would be and so far as the News is con-
cerned the incident is closed.

a Gamblers Daughter.

"a Gamblers Daughter" is dra-
matte Offering that will doubtless fill
opera house to overlooking when it is
produced there next Monday, Dec. 30
rs the piece has made an excellent
impression in other cities, and is in
TACT one Of the distinct hits of the
present theatrical season Each of
tho four acts are splendidly staged
and many OF the stage pictures pro-
duced are brilliant in the extreme.
The third act is reproduction of a
beautiful Michigan avenue gambling
resort in Chicago, and it gives the
spectator realistic idea OF the actual
appearance of some OF these famous
palaces patronized by the fast and
furious set Of city life. II is in this
scene that the Gamblers Daughter,
the sweet and tender heroine disguised
as Spanish woman, plays at faro
and wins every dollar Of his fortune
from her father. 1t isone of the most
powerful and intensely dramatic
scenes OF the modern stage.

around town who ought to have the
basement story of their little panta-
looms spanked into dangling strings
for smoking the deadly cigarette. We
grow red in the face hurting anathe-
mas at the saloon keeper for selling
liquid damnation. Those grasping
hogs in human shape, who ought to
wear bristles, tusks, and tails, and
walk on all tours, instead of aping the
creature which Almighty God made
in His own image, do humanity in
calculable more harm by selling the
tender children cigarette and other
smoking tobacco, than the saloon
keeper does if he obeys the law.

Owen McCurton, rich recuse Of
Oceanic, n. j, 10 years Of age, is dead
He had lived forty years at Oceanic,
and was scarcely known to any one
except the members of his own family.
For 30 years he had not crossed the
threshold OF his dwelling between sun
rise and sunset because OF an election
bet. During the Presidential CAM
paign OF 1872 between Grant and
Greedy. McCalton was one of the
latter's most enthusiastic supporters.
He made bet with n friend that if
Grant was elected he would no. leave
his house except during the night
as long as he lived. McCarton lived
up to his wager. About five years
ago his house caught fire and for q
time it looked as ii he would have to
break lis agreement, but the fumes
were extlnguished before they had
gained sufficient Roadway to compel
him to leaves the premises. There
never was Il more striking illustration
OF the chcapness of some people s
lives than the case Of this man who
has Just died In all this time he
never LETT the house between sunrise
and sunset. One wonders what a
mind he had to destroy so utterly the
boon Of life for punctilio OF honor.
The will that could enforce human
flesh such q ropulsive eXtence was
surely worthy to be expended on a
noble object. Pity and compassion
have no place here. Disgust and con-
tempt alone ask for expression. Yet
even in passionate rejection OF this
mans vile ideal of honor the thought
creeps in OF ones own warped view
Too often the ideal dies and we wor-
ship doggedly, perhaps uuwittingly
the empty tinsel that yelled living
God--once. And thus the respectable
scruple, tho worthless sentiment Of
him who sold his birthright, takes on
II feeble glow; it may be that the dim
embers of his heart still threw out ii
human warmth. Who knows?

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. g.
Speaking of conditions in Lincoln
comfy, Mr.. W. A. McIver, the
mining magnate, waxed eloquent.
He said that a mining revival, the
like of which had never been seen
i'll the district, had taken place.
Millions of dollars were being
expended and great results would
follow The Nogal- White Oaks
district, Lincoln county, Mr.. Nc
Iver believes, is not to be surpass-
ed by an equal area of country in
the west as a mining region.
"When the Albuquerque Eastern
road is completely he asserted,
''and connections made with the
Rock Island, Albuquerque will be
an ideal place for a big smelter.
All the output of my section of
Lincoln county, which now goes
to El Paso, will be available for
Albuquerque. And the output
should be enormous.
Mr.. McIver is president of the
Gallinas Mining company and the
Helen Rae Placer company and
general manager of the New
Mexico Oil and Development COM
pany and of the Free Gold Min
ing and Milling company, all do
ing business in Lincoln county.
The various companies are back

Christian Alliance Collection,

One of the most important events
during the season at Old Orchard is
the great collection made by DR.. Simp-
son during the Christian Alliance
Meeting and it's collection is planned
for next Sunday.
To an outsider it is one of the most
interesting things that can be witnessed
as people make all kind of pledges
giving away property, their homes,
Jewelry and in fact almost everything
excepting their children during the
excitement of the moment, and it is
expected that at least one hundred
thousand dollars will be pledged at the
next collection.
So much interest has been manifested
throughout the state in this meeting
that the Maine Central r. r., is to run
another special train excursion next
Sunday as advertised in the columns
of this paper.
