THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Yes, it rains, and it is planting
time and past, with nothing plant
ed, and no blowing done Of conse-
quence. The hired hands are idle,
the horses and mules are eating up
high.priced feed and doing moth
ing. Corn ought by the middle OF
March to be large enough to pillow,
yet it isn't planted. Cotton will
20 in the ground late; gardens are
not started yet.
These things are all true, but 1t
doesn't do any good to grieve, and
besides, there is plenty of grounds
for being hopeful, after all. 1t
isn't the only wet February that
ever was, and wet Februarys have
generally been fore-runners of ex.
cellent crop years. The sun will
shine out yet, undoubtedly, and
when it does, the seed will go in
the ground in a hurry, will come
up quickly, and the crops will
make rapid growth.
The summer drouih is, after all,
the thing most to be feared in Tex
as, but where good winter rains
have fallen, summer drouths do
the least harm to crops. The year
of 1892 was similar to this so far,
and it still holds the record for
bountiful crops in Texas.
After all our groans and sighs
about the gloomy weather, may
we not yet hope that all will be
well-eyen better than common?
We believe the sun will yet shine
and the birds will sing; the sower
will 90 out to SOW, and the fertile
lands may return the most bounti-
ful harvest Of years. lfso, all will
be well, and there is yet plenty OF
cause for hope.

B. P. O. E.

The first annual gathering Of the
State Association of Elks at Butte
last week was an unqualified success.
From all over the state the herds
came together and the occasion was
one of goodfellowship for which the
society is SO justly famous.
The Elks' association deserves well
at the hands of the public for it aims
to make mankind happier and better.
1t has occasionally been charged with
leading men into dissipation, but the
charge is not well founded, for while
the society teaches the cultivation
CT lightheartedness and happiness, it
also teaches sobriety brotherly love
and charity.
Life has its serious problems and
people are too prone to consider them
to the exclusion of all else A sea
son of relaxation and the enjoyment
OF the comradeShlp OF brother Elks
is something to give strength and
vigor. to make the everyday burdens
seem lighter when again taken up.
Life is dark enough at best and
everything which goes to make men
happier will make them better in the
same proportion.
Butte is famous for its hospitality
and those Elks who attended the first
state gathering will long remember
the occasion, but each year should
see an increase in the number of
those who practice goodfellowship
and good cheer

to speak for them who has more dis
cernment and less prejudice. and as
the representative of organized
wealth Mr. Parry will be better able
to see the mote in the eye of organ
lied labor after he has removed the
beam from his own eye.
Undoubtedly there are many men
in the ranks of labor who overstep
the law in times of strike and the
wonder is that they are not more
numerous. But how about the trusts
and other organizations of capital?
Is it not a fact that they violate the
law with impunity and insolence,
many of them being organized for
the purpose of evading the law?
One crime does not justify another
but the striker who breaks the law
can plead in mitigation of his Of
fence the example set by the cap
:alists of the country.

4 Plea For DesCriutiyc Titles

Setting aside the flood not to be
counted as literatu re, the naming of a
book that is worthy of name ia n
matter of real moment Two methods
seem to have been followed-that of
using the name of a leading character.
as "Jane Eyre" and Rob Roy" the
other that of giving some hint of the
nature of the book as in VANITY Fair
and THE Cloister and the Hearth"
The first method has no justification.
What we plead for is that Il title shall
contain the soul or the keynote of the
book. Then the author and reader
start on fair terms. Jane Austen, n
consummate artist. understood this
we'll, as in pride and Preiudice." but
forsook her advantage in "Emma"-a
better book and susceptible To rs tell
ing title, 1t is difficult To estimate
what would have been the loss to lit
crature if "The Scarlet Letter" had
been labeled Hester prynne" and
The House of Seven GahleS"-a title
that has worked its way into architec-
ture-had been called The Pyn-
cheons."-Dr. Theodore T. Munger in
Bookiovers' Magazine.
