TALKS OF LARGE FAMILIES.

In ancient Athens the propagation of
the race was not left entirely to acct
dent, but all possible precautions
were taken to prevent the birth of the
unfit. How to educate their success
ors so as to render them not only capa-
BILE to continue, but also to improve,
what had already been attained, was
the Greek ideal. Hence the quality of
ones children rather than their num-
Der determined the value of a citizens
contributions to the preservation of the
state. But statistics show that the
greatest men have come from large
families.
The only" child has rarely ever risen
to renown Perhaps this is because a
houseful of children not only offers to
the little ones the opportunities of de-
Tense and attack-namely of develop
ment--but 1t also enables each to find
its affinity, without which there can
only be the isolation which produces
mental sterilty Moreover, parents
who have had only one or two children
do not have the experience and knowl-
edge which those with a large family,
of children have and therefore cannot
show as good results.
This does not apply to the inferior
races Aside from the economic causes
which render small families desirable
there is the increasing unwillingness
of modern women to become mothers.
There is a great deal of enforced
motherhood among the poor, while
among the well-to-do there is decided
dread of maternal responsibilities. The
policy of excluding women from the
public life of the world, of eXacting
duties from them while denying them
the rights is indirectly the cause of her
reluctance to contribute generously to
an institution that discriminateS
against her. Not being able to take up
arms, she avenges her wrongs by cut
ting off the supply of the worlds forces.

in few weeks. The all white gowns
at present are seen more often in car
rages than on those walking, but dress
makers declare that before long such
dresses will need to be made in very
striking fashion to attract more than
passing glance. Besides the very light
shades of gray, tan and dove shades

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.


This is pre-eminently the age of the
young man. Great corporations banks,
railroads, newspapers, pulpits, the bar
and nearly every business and profess
sion is crying for young blood. 1t may
be sad, but it's true, that in most places
to-day age is at discount. How great,
therefore, the responsibilities, as well
as the opportunities, of youth!
Make up your mind to do something
and do it quickly, persistently and hon
orably. Every road to true success runs
through a righteous, purpose. Don't
wait for something to turn up" but go
out and turn it up! The world admires
a hustler. There is no promise in the
Bible to either lazy man or coward
Humanity despses both.

to go forward under the guidance of the
great leader. Jesus Christ, until at last
the end of the journey will come and
we shall enter our heavenly Canaan
and be forever with our God.

The Village blacksmith.

The Village Blacksmith.
Under spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he,
With large, and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp and black and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school,
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
!, Like chaff from the threshing floor
He goes ON Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
he hears the parson pray and preach;
He hears his daughters voice
Singing in the village choir,
And 1t makes his heart rejoice.
1T sounds to him like her mothers voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think Of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees 1t close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned nights repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy
friend
For the lesson thou hast taught.
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.
Henry w. Longfollow.

The Gospel Train.

NUbpCI
The gospel train is coming,
hear it just at hand,
! hear the car wheels moving,
And rumbling through the land.
Get on board, children, get on board,
children, get on board, children,
For there's room for many more.
Get on board. children, get on board,

A coming round the curve;
She's playing all her steam and power,
And straining every nerve.

FTSHE fearful disaster which occurr-
Il ed at Heppner, Sunday evening
June IA, whereby million dollars in
property is ruined and several hun
dred lives lost, and thriving town
wiped from the map in few awful

pathy OF the people at this point as
evidenced by the liberal donations OF

Too much generosity cannot he shown
in this case which places the Pacific
Northwest in the calamity list with
Chicago and Boston fires, Johnstown,
Galveston and Mississippi floods. The
heart and purse of the American peo-
pie are quickly offered in such dire
extremities and the crying appeal for
help is always heard and needed. The
cheerfulness with which our people
gave in Ritzville is commen6able and
we take the liberty OF expressing ap-
probation Of their approval OF the
movement. We have Jared very for
tunate here and the public manifesto.
ton Of grateful acknowledgment is
timely. Each passing day the story
grows more sad. The strain upon the
afflicted ones is beginning to tell,
reason is being dethroned and the
asylum waits for some OF them. The
pen cannot picture or portray the suf-
fering OF our brothers, sisters and
neighbors where once stood the splen-
did town of Heppner.

N. B. Bruce of Ritzvillc is in town

Adams county and having lived there

"There is little chance to go wrong in

cerned. The crop is in fine condition

we have rejoiced in an almost absolute

said about that. If we have failure it
hits us pretty hard, because we raise
nothing but wheat, and when the wheat

| hope to see the time, however, when
diversified farming will be introduced in
our region. Of course, we have now no
water, not needing any for wheat raising,
and irrigation must precede any attempt
to raise other crops. But don't think
it will be so very long before we shall be
able to have water on all the land in the
Inland Empire. Then truly shall the
wilderness blossom like rose and our
country prove the most desirable place
in the world to live in.
"The whole county of Adams is max
ing wonderful strides. Ritzville is quite
city now and steadily growing. The
other towns are following closely and
altogether we realize gratefully we are
living in an era of prosperity. The set
tiers have come in this spring in great
numbers and our country is building up
rapidly in every way"
