INTERESTING FACTS.

The duty of temperance workers is
to go steadily forward independent of
results.
The Tennessee Methodist makes a
good point: "A drinking man can stay
in a church or even in a pulpit, but he
cannot stay in a bank. Is money more
valuable than morals?"
The governments share of the
whisky business in the matter of
revenue last month showed a marked
increase; as the internal revenue re-
ceipts were nearly $1,250,0OO, an in
crease of $4,000 over the same month
last year. The receipts from beer were
about 1,112,000.
Editor Box, of The Ladies' Home
Journal, says: mo man will ever find
that the principle of total abtinence
from liquor is barrier to any sue

Who Met Them.

A correspondent of Modern Society
writes as follows from Genoa concern
ing the crown princess of SaXony:
Last week | took short trip from
Lausanne to Geneva, and spent two
nights at the Hotel d'Angleterre to try
to see the crown princess of SaXony,
who is now stirring the passions of
the population of the town in which
she has taken refuge. Some are ro-
mantically for her, while others are
virtuously against her.
Il thought that l should have a good
deal of difficulty in catching sight Of
her, but met with piece of good luck
On the very day of my arrival, as l was
sitting in the hall looking at a time
table with one eye and watching the
staircase with the other, l saw a mans
hand stretched out toward me, and
heard jovial: ITEMS! How do you
do? 1t was Maitre Adrien Lachenal,
eX-president of the confederation and
chosen advocate of the princess, who
was coming to pay his daily visit to
his client, for, as can easily be be-
lieved, they have good deal to talk
about together. l was obliged to meet
him, and was going to ask him how he
could help me in my desire to see the
princess, when l heard a rustling of
silk, tinkling of chains, bangles and
chatelaines, and, with light step, the
lady came in our direction.
"'Ah, Maitre Lachenal,' she cried,
threatening him with her finger Louis
XIV. was very nearly kept waiting,
but, l have been really kept
waiting for you! Truly, it serves
me right; at least that's what
they would say at home!' And
she laughed like girl. Maitre
Lachenal bowed repeatedly and was
profuse in his eXplana lions, which suit
ed me very well, for it gave time to look
comfortably at the princess. She was

to lead the work in completing the
great Panama canal. His name is
now before President Roosevelt for
membership on the Panama commits
sion and wholly without any solicita-

mis- friends, it is reported that Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin, is working in
his behalf.
In telling of his early experiences
last night Mr.. Randolph said: while
| am free to admit that my first work
in the line of engineering was done with
an ak, yet never expected to cut cash
across the state of Illinois,"
Mr.. Randolph took charge of the con-
struction of the canal in 1892, when
ground was first broken in VIII coun-
ty. 1t was he who, on the night of Jan.
II, 1900, led a party to the gates at
Lockport and let the water through
from the lake for the first time to head
off an injunction which he learned was
to be asked of the supreme court at
Washington by St. Louis the following
morning. After long delay the water
was finally turned on just Is minutes
before the injunction was applied for.
Before becoming identified with the
drainage canal Mr.. Randolph was con-
nected with rail- Dads.

ENGINEER OF NOTE.

Selected to Finish the Great

Isham Randolph, the chief engineer
of the Chicago sanitary district, whose
skill directed the work of building the

into the engineering rants something
like 30 years ago with an AK" Engi-

elected clerk of the city court; he was
reelected duly, but shortly after he
was urged to take the better position
of deputy county clerk of Kane county.
He accepted the latter position and
filled it during the ensuing eight years.
In 1856 he was nominated in the repub-
lican convention and was elected coun-
ty clerk by large majority.
Mr.. Beaupre has now been in the
diplomatic service since the early part
of President McKinley's first admins

His family consists of his wife and one
daughter, who was recently married to

A "Reign of Terror"

One Of the Chicago dailies put in
scare-heads last week, Reign of Ter

that the citizens of some Illinois town
had demanded of the authorities the
enforcement of the city ordinances,
and the saloon keepers themselves to
resist the police. But, of course, the
blame lay with the temperance ele-
ment. The "reign of terror" was all

Bobby cuddled closer to Uncle Will,
and hid his face.

Uncle VIII smiled, and strolied the
downy cheek. To be hungry explained
so much! Even the ravenous lion was
docile when his hunger had been sat
isfed. And wherein lay the difference?
Boy-lion; lion-boy? Uncle VIII had
been hungry himself. Once, in the
Philippines, on a long march. he had
been so terribly hungry it had seemed
to him he would have to break the
military rules for the sake of food,
even at risk of being court-martialed.
He had bitten no one, it was true; but
as he now thought of that time it APP
peared to him his salvation had rested
in the fact that he had not been for
hidden to bite. The first sign of OPP
position would have thrown him and
many another into open revolt.
He condensed this chain of thought
into a few simple words, and Bobby
listened while he told of that fearful
march, and of the reward of waiting
that came with the sinking sun.

Without Help.

During the visit to this city by some
of the delegates of the Irrigation Con-
grcss, one was heard to remark, "The
people in this locality amount to a
great deal in my estimation, for do
not know of colony that has done
more and been helped less than the
Mormons. Facts will bear out this
statement"
This remark impressed some Of the
hearers as being true from the fact
that they were in position to know
10y past experience what some of the
people had to endure in early days.
The construction of the first canals in
this county was done under hardships,
people were poor, many OF them hav-
ing nothing more than bread and but
ter to live upon: and from sun-up to
shutdown was the usual hours or a
days work. Indians were also trouble
some, homes had to be guarded at
night by men who were constantly
working through the daytime.
Nor was labor performed only on the
water bitches. All of the roads into
the mountains were built mostly 10y
contribution. The grade for the Utah
Northern railway was built from Og
den to Franklin in practically the
same way. When the completion o.
the above enterprises are contemplat
ed, with the numerous school and
meeting houses, including the magni
ticient temple on the hill, we conclude
that our visiting delegate was about
right when he remarked that the
Mormon colony had done much and
received but little aid in tnanca
way. The present generation whicl
Is enjoying pleasant surroundings to
day will never know what IL cost t,
change the country from its primeva
state into a veritablc garden. On,
source of great satisfaction Is that a
least some of the early labors of The
pioneers are not forgotten, and we be
lieve they are appreciated by many.

The feeding of lOO,O0O,0OO hungry
people in this country is going to be
one of the biggest problems of the
coming years. The population increas-
es as the land wears out. Irrigation
will do something. Improved methods
of agriculture and smaller farms will
do more to Offset the impaired fertility
of the older sections. The coming
wears will see the soil treated better
and its persistent robbery in measure
stopped.
