Mrs T. w. Pitts brought to The
Sun office specimen of a guava which
was raised on her place in this city,
and which is as fine as we have seen
anywhere. The lady says that the
bush, or tree, is very prolific, and we
can attest for the quality There is
no reason why guavas cannot be Gull

The Still Hour.

How infinite and sweet, thou every
where
And al1-abounding love, thy service
is!
Thou Hest an ocean round my world
of care,
My petty every day, and fresh and fair
Pour thy strong tides through all
my crevices,
Until the silence ripples into prayer.
The busy fingers fly, the eyes may see
Only the glancing needle which they
hold;
But all my life is blooming inwardly,
And every breath is like litany,
While Through each labor, like a
thread of gold
Is woven the sweet consciousness OF
Thee

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Up in the Wild.

Up in the wild where no one comes to
look
There lives and sings little lonely
brook;
Liveth and singeth in the dreary pines
Yet creepeth on to where the daylight
shines.
Pure from their heaven, in mountain
chalice caught,
1t drinks the rain, as drinks the soul
her thought;
And down dim ho1lows where it winds
along,
Pours its life burden of unlistened
I catch the murmur of it's undertone,
That sigheth ceaselessly, alone! alone!
And hear afar the rivers gloriously
Shout on their paths toward the shin
ing sea!
The voiceful rivers, chanting the sun,
And wearing names of honor, every
one;
Outreaching wide, and joining hand
with hand
To pour great gifts along the asking
land
All! lonely brook! creep onward
through the pines;
Press through the gloom to where the
daylight shines!
Sing on among the stones, and secret
Feel how the floods are all akin to
thee!
bring the sweet rain the gentle heaven
sendeth;
Hold thine own path, however heaven
ward it tendeth;
For somewhere, underneath the eternal
sky,
Thou too, shalt find the rivers, by
and by.

Editor DeaIy's Reply.

A member Of the Washington Equal
Suffrage Association addressed letter
to the Medical Lake Mail asking for
space to place before it's readers the
merits of their cause. Editor Dealy
replies in part with tho following
good advice:
"Don't you think it would be proper
for you to get married and settle
down? That is what God created
you for. You can't DO . man and
fight battles. Why should you help
make laws? The home is the one
substantial thing in the world. 1t is
the tower of refuge-the mecca Of the
hard pressed. Without the home
there is no refinement; without it
man goes straight to perdition. Don't
neglect your sacred home duties to
NEEDLE IN other affairs. The battle
Of life is strenuous and it 10 enough
that man should receive its hard
knocks. He receives many wounds
in the battle of life, and it is for
women to bind up those wounds and
help make him strong to conquer.
You never heard OF husband or sons
going wrong where there was noble
woman doing all in her power to
make her home ennoble, did your
Now be frank about it. You know
you have not. Don't you think that
il all you women who are trying to
get suffrage would divert your ener-
gies to trying to raise sons who would
vote right, that you would make the
world better much faster2 Home is a
little kingdom; rule over it like q
queen. Its duties are endless. Few
T. women can spare time from her home
to clamor for suffrage"

Her Master Was a Gentleman.

A Boston couple we're rec,eating
near Augusta and met an old negro
woman to whom they took fancy.
They invited her to pay them visit,
and the colored woman accepted,
especially as her expenses were to be
paid.
In due time she arrived in Boston
and was installed in the house OF the
white folks. She was given one Of
the best rooms and ate at the same
table with her host and hostess.
At one Of the meals the hostess
said:

The Real Rich.

Millionaires are in bad odor
amassed wealth is the hy in the
national ointment. People are waking
to q realization that to have and to
hold is tenet that often sends a man
skidooing down the Averniau road
The revelations recently brought to
light of the practices and character
istics OF plutocrats show them to be
bound hand and foot by shackles that
any decent man should class with the
ball and chain OF the common Grim
inal.
Who, thsn, are the really wealthy
men OF the community Whom
should We envy9 The pleasures OF sx-
treme poverty may be extolled by the
sentimentalists, but there will be nc
dead rush in the direction OF perman.
eat deficits. A few years ago they
who pretended to b above the seduc
tions Of aggregated wealth we're re.
garded either a. insipid fools or hypo.
critics. Today the possession of mul.
tipIied millions is seen to be most
compatible with coarseness OF moral
fiber, with Reproduction of right living
and with the suppression those in.
stincts without which man is but
little above the beasts.
All the while the comforts OF mod
crate competence have scared in pop.
ulsr estimation until those who are
possessed OF them are now hailed as
the persons OF truest wealth. The
golden mean no longer hears EN- oh asis
upon the adjective. The middle
ground is seen to be the high ground
OF happiness and conten tment.-- Louis

In case at law the supreme court
has rendered definition OF habitual
drunkenness as follows: "To be u
habitual drunkard a person does not
have to be drunk all the time nor
necessarily incspacitated from pur-
suing, during the working hours oil
the day, ordinary unskilled manual
labor. One is a habitual drunkar in
the meaning of the laws, who has a
fixed habit OF frequently getting
drunk, nor that he have more drunken
than sober hours. It's enough that
he have the habit SO firmly fixed upon
him that he becomes drunk with re.
curing frequency periodically, or that
he is unable to resist when opportu-
nifty and temptation is provided"

There is another bribery, however,
more dangerous because more subtle,
for which the law provides no punish
ment and for which only the whip OF
scorn can afford penalty. This bribery
is by ones own pocket book. Some

apparent misgiving bribery from
