PATRIOTISM in RHYME.

Secretary w. G.. Calderwood's poem,
"'Tain't No Use," which first appeared
in our October number, is being copied
"from Maine to California" State
Chairman Clayton, of Wisconsin, sends
It out as a well printed leaflet. An
order for an extra copy came to us
from one who added that however, I
didn't vote for Scanlon." We haven't
determined whether or not the writer
realized that every line Of the telling
production said, "Vote for Scanlon this
year and so hasten the day when we
can elect nof such ability and char
acter as he possesses to high Office"
Listen 20 the closing words, for in
stance:
THE time YOU'RE needed in the fight
lis wen the victory's fer frum sight.
With courage high an, strong
Be brave NV heart an stout Nv nerve;
Stick clost to duty-never swerve-
Serve Truth, when towards dare not
serve,
An start the world along"

There Is but one way for you to bring
harmony into the world, and that is for
you to sing your note true, though it
appears to put the whole universe in
discord.-John G.. Woolley.

greater work in informing and arous-
ing the church than they have yet un-
dertaken. Most of them are too warm
friends of the church to do anything to
disturb her peace unnecessarily. There
is also enough self-love in most of us
to dispose us to that course which will
not subject us to severe criticism.
Owing to one or both of these consid-
erations we have sometimes kept
silence in the churches" when we
ought to have cried out. We have
sometimes allowed church matters
closely related to the progress of our
reform to take their own course when
we should have put forth vigorous ef-
ly through our cowardly neglect,
things have gone wrong, we have not
always confessed to our share of the
responsibility therefor. We have
openly and sometimes bitterly char
ged it to the Indifference, if not to the
actual evil intent, of the church and
ministry.
It may be urged in self-defense that
our brethren in the church are under
as much obligation as we to further
the movement against the saloon. We
doubt if this is true. God has
laid this work upon our hearts
as He has not laid it upon the
hearts of all, even in the church.
Their inactivity is not wholly due to
their unwillingness to answer the sum-
mons to duty. We may not neglect to.
help our pastors to see the truth,
shrink from presenting this issue at
the prayer meetings and fail to rep
resent our cause before the officiary of
the church, and yet throw upon our
brethren the entire burden. of the
church's inactivity or inconsistency.
Wa houo sonaotiraaae uopt -whnn WE
ought to have worked. We have some
times sulked when we ought to have
protested. We have sometimes criti-
cised when we ought to have turned
on the light. ,-..a.-
The church is ours. We have given
of our time and money to carry for
ward her enterprises. We have helped
to fight her battles. Although Prohi-
bitionists have been misunderstood,
misrepfesented and sometimes abused
by the conservative elements in the
church, they have with rare excep-
lions, remained at the posts of duty to
which the church had assigned them.
Such interest and such loyalty give us
some rights. We ought to use them.
And the church is the natural
enemy of the saloon. She was brought
into existence for the overthrow of
just such evils. Her ministry was
called to lead in just such undertake
ings Her edifices and printing press
es are the rightful property OF the
prohibition reform. We should take
possession of them.
One of the foremost duties of Pro-
hibitionists who hold membership in
the churches is to show these things
to the ministry and laity, and to urge
them-good naturally, but coura-
geously and persistently-urge them
to action. We believe this will pro-
duce the desired result, but even if
not, it is a duty which must be per-
formed before there can wisely or
fairly be any general exodus from the

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portions Of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

throughout. steam heated and solid ves-
tibuled. The train is composed Of ex-
press and baggage cars, day coaches,
first class Pullman and tourist sleeping
cars, dining cars, and the elegant OBJ
servation car, witch is equipped with
barber shop, bath room, card and snok-
ing rooms, an elegant parlor, library of
I25 volumes besides all the standard
magazines of the day. This car, as we'll

senger had long ago departed. A
special train could be had for forty
dollars, but some of the travellers
said their tickets ought to take
them witho 1t extra money. They
didn't care for the fifty cents, they
said, but they didn't like the prin-
ciple involved. A life-sized strike
broke out, and for time the di-
lemma was bigger thing than that
caused by the delayed train. Sew
eral made speeches in which the
railroad men were denounced as
grinding monopolists and incubu-
ses, while other orators, in efful.
gence of eloquence knocked the or
atorical contest o. the night before
silly as they defended the railroad.
At last, hunger, loss Of sleep and
weariness prevailed over oratoly,
and eighty people marched into the
waiting coaches, paid their fifty
cents each and rode home on spe-
cial. The others, to the number of
three carriage ,oads, came home by
pri conveyance.
The thoughtfulness OF one young
studeLt has been the subjact Of COM

ladies of the party might, by the
long delay and added expense, be

OH the contest, says:

lance and natural delivery. Stud

Philadelphia, March 14.-The
police for several days have been
investigating the career of George
Hossey, the negro "herb doctor''
who was yesterday committed to
prison with Mrs Catherine Dame
on the charge of causing the death
of the woman's husband 18 months
ago by poison. Mrs. Dame is said
to be only one of a host of women
whose object in consulting the 'doc-
tor" was not legitimate. The au-
thorities say that they expect to
trace number of deaths to Hos
sey's potions. One official said to-
day:
"We are only beginning to un-
cover this case. It may prove one
of the greatest criminal events in
the history of the department"
Hossey is the arch-conspirator in
many crimes, the authorities say.
They have learned that for many
months past his headquarters have
been patronized by many women
both married and single, whose
names are now in the possession of
the District Attorney. When the
negro was arrested, detectives
searched his house and confscated
a wagon load Of bottle drugs, in
truments and other parphenalia-

Lafayette, Or, March 14.-Tom
Hodson, of La Fayette, has been
converted from the sock-leg and tin
can method of hiding money, and
now patronizes fire and burglar
proof bank vault. It is said he had
been laying by a portion of his
wages for some time, intending to
use the money for the purpose of
moving to California. He had saved
$42O in gold, and for extra safe
keeping he took up board from
the floor of his house. dug a little
hole in the ground and planted his
savings. Some time ago Tom made
the discovery that his money was
missing. He and a few intimate
friends pursued a still hunt for a
clew to the mystery, and meeting
with no ,Lccess, the loser was bord-
ering on nervous prostratlon. The
loss became known, and one day
last week friend said he would
like to dig for the treasure. He did
so, and soon found that a mercena-
ry Goth coutury gopher had dug up
under the money, which had drop
ped down into the gopher hole,
whence it was all recovered. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Gopher
won't do any more such rich min
ing under Tom Hodson's house.
