"KILL BABES" WOMEN SHOUT.

Merciful death for all children
found incurably deformed at birth
was approved by judges and aud ience
at debate by the Debating Society
of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, Los Angeles, California.
Many women were present, who ap-
plauded the points taken by the
young doctors, that the sins of the
parents should-not be visited upon
their children; that crpples are a
menace to society, aud should be
destroyed rather than be permitted
to grow up and marry and increase
their kind, and that history shows
the best physical manhood in those
"heathen"nations whose laws demand
the staying of deformed babies.
The arguments of the negative
speakers who supported the sixth
commandment;"Thou shalt not kill, %
and who challenged the skill of any
doctor to judge at birth whether any
child were "incurably" deformed,
did not prevail, although ably set
fourth, and were lost by two to one
vote.

FOOLS SETTING HENS.

Timothy Werner, who lives three
miles east of lie Sueur and keeps
about 200 hens, has been greatly
troubled, as have most people who
keep hens, by the persistent desire
manifested by the fowls to- set in
season and out, on eggs, stones or
doorknobs or anything else that
comes handy; but he has got hold of
a plan now which he has quietly
tried this season with perfect sue
cess, and which he warrants will
cure the worst Light Brahma cluck
that ever vexed the heart of man of
all desire to sit, and all in less than
three hours.
The cure consists of q cheap
watch, with loud and clear tick to
it, inclosed in a case that is white
and Snapped like an egg. When a
hen manifests desire to set out of
season he gently places this bogus egg
under her shelteriug breast and the
egg does the rest. 1t ticks cheer
fully away, and soon the hen begins
to show signs of uneasiness and stirs
the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking, perhaps, that it is already
time for it to hatch and there is 9

LITERARY NOTES.

Probably no paper that reaches the
editors of this county is more carefully
read by them than Our Dumb Animals.
This may seem strange to those who
believe that editors read only the pom
derous editorials of the big dailies, but
the fact is that the plea for the better
care of our dumb animals and of the
children of the world by Editor Geo. T.
Angel appeals to the sympathy Of every
editor, and the work being done is most
heartily approved by every editor. No
family in the United States should be
without Our Dumb Animals, especially

MY BIRTHDAY WISH.

I'd like to be boy again
And run around the farm
And play those little games once more
That did us all no harm.
I'd love to kneel by mothers knee
And say my evening prayer
And look into her lovely face
AS was kneeling there.
I'd love to have that same sweet hand
|. Upon my shoulder laid,
As back into my little room
My boyish feet were led;
And down upon the floor we knelt,
Hard by the mercy seat,
And God was asked to keep her boy
Close to the Savior's feet.
I'd love to kneel again once more
Around the fire place,
And hear my fathers pleading voice
Praying for daily grace.
Sweet praise filed the very air,
And heaven lit up his face
As kneeling by the old arm chair,
He asked for daily grace.
I'd like to go to Sunday school
And learn the way of life,
And spend those happy days again
So free from sin and strife.
I'd love to meet my class again,
That met then by the door,
With good judge Jones our teacher then,
Who left us long ago.
He took US all the bible through,
And taught us all the way
That Moses and the prophets went,
And leads to endless day.
My life has been so full of faults
fain would live it Ger
That might give more life more love
To Him whom we adore.
Since this is all denied me, Lord,
Oh give me grace to live
So that when am called away
A good account may give.

AN ULTIMATUM

Letter From HOrny-Handed Far
mer to His Son at COLLEGE.
GRAssYsIDE, November. Is.


My dear boy: Having heard
nothing from you since you landed
rat Bluiangoah uniyersity, aud see
ing by the papers that the college
openings are attended with extra
heavy casualties this year, your
mother and / are somewhat anxious
about you. read in the papers that
you had rush, and that after it
was over the ambulances carried off
10 earnest students, while the janitor
swept up bushel of ears and about
four pints of country-bred freckles.
You are so freckled that mother
cried and seemed to think you must
have been in the slaughter. i must
say ! am disappointed if this is the
case. A freckle may not be thing
of beauty, but it costs money just
the same. Your fathers good corn.
meal aud bacon are in that Job of
kalsomining, my SOD, and to see
four pints of your honest freckles
scattered round over a college cam
pus looks to mother and me like just
so many good dollars thrown away.
The paper says the rush was joy
ous little affair, and that it Is feared
a number of the participants may
survive. / trust this fear may be
realized, and yet / must say your
mother and / do not feel entirely
satisfied with the outlook. If college
life is going to mash the daylights
out of you we feel that the job
ought to be thorough and not a
half-and-balf performance. / sent
whole boy to seat of learning,
and / don't want hashed outfit
back from the hospital. | read fur
ther that "the rush was fast and
furious, and that arterial blood
streamed on every side. The noble
athletes waded through seas incarna-

the clubhouse steps. Bone crunched

cles stretched to the swapping point
and elbow digs in upturned faces,
were abundant. Well-directed kicks

Hamlike fists crash through cartil-

she read this. She said it almost

THE QUESTION
( OF TEMPERANCE,

My Gear reader, what eau / say to
warn you of the hidden rocks of in
temperance, which are in the stream
of life? There are SO many wrecks
lying along the shore today that
stand as monuments of evil. Shun
them jas you would the viper that
brings death with its sting.
Ministers who preach the blessed
gospe5 are your skirts clean, or
will the blood of the drunkard be
upon them when you are called to
render an account Of your steward
ship? Do you preach and practice
temperance? Do you pray for it?
Ladies', do you give your influence
to the noble cause? Do you make
any effort to lift the poor drunkard
out the mire? Oh! yes, hear from
every heart. "God Bless the ladies'"
They would save our fair nation
from sin aud shame if within their
power, their kind words and pleasant
smiles Danish many dark and dreary
clouds.
Drink opens the .prison door 10
nine-tenths of all who are today shut
out'from society. Drink sends two
hundred thousand orphaus broad
cast in our land, annually, and
causes three hundred murders, an
nually. Drink makes one hundred
thousand women widows, annually.
Drink fills the almshouses. Drink
brings hunger and scanty raimert.
La fact drink is the greatest evil of
our nation.
In the first place God did not in
tend our stomachs to hold poison.
As an old lady said when she was
asked to take snuff, ''no sir, thank
you. If my master intended that /
should take snuff, be would have
turned my nose upside down, SO l
could drop it in and not be troubled
snuffing it up"
The drunkard voluntarily sur
renders his reason, his taste, his
Judgment, his health, his character
and his conscience on the altar of
appetite. is not that a sin?
he knows that his habits of in
diligence will disqualify him for the
duties of child, husband parent and
citizen. While they deaden the fac
ulties which should elevate him
above the dumb beast they intensity
and quicken all the animal and
brutal instincts of degraded human
ity. Is not that sin?
He is we'll aware that the use of
intoxicating liquors may inspire
him with selfish motives and that
he may in fit of frenzy commit
crime. Is not that sin?
The drunkard sins against God.
Members of all temperance or
carnations, let us to the rescue to
save our brother. Our work is q
special one of kindness and mercy,
and hore is down-trodden and bleed
ing by the wayside. Our duty ia to
wash the warm blood from the
pleading lips of these wounds, to
pour balna upon them and raise up
the fallen victim, even if others pass
oy. Respectfully.
