If there was ever a period in the history of this country vixen fl was more urgent that every man get busy getting home han right history makes no record If it. For several years We have seen tac sad spectacle of hosts Of men going up aad down the land howiiHg themselFes haar-e EbOat the moauness o. specu1aiUrs "eorneriHs" all sorts of things except tAe only real thine that was being coraored. and which las been corner ed since first man became the en= shaver of man We rHfer to the cor neHing ef the lands. which are q gift Of God to his creatures. This made littie difference 20 long as this eonn- try afforded plenty of lands on the same terms-;hat of seizure-but tho time has come when land monopoists -cornerers, if you please-have taken up practically everything de- sirable in this country md are hold ing if in a gigantic trust, and almost without taxation. against the man who wants and needs it. This sort Of "coFReFing Is infinitely worse from a moral point of view than the cornering of any other sort Of q com modity, because if corn is eornered, it is only q little while until new crop in on hand. and so it is of all sorts Of crops or ally sort of handiWork. The land monopoly is a perpetual thing and stands iH the Way of reliey- ing all other sorts of monopolies. There is need of education along this line. and il is the duty of the Unions te take this matter I'D and sift it to the bottom, for it will be no great length Of time until this matter will come up in a manner that will not be dewned even if it takes hncoHnted hlaed and treasure to settle it. In the meantime. h, who is wise will get him an abiding place of his own. The final overthrow of tbe land corner CTS will not come until their oppres- sion grows so heavy Chat revolt. or revolution. either bloody or other wise, is the final remedg.

A Fish Story.

Trout protection. Nensense'& said a gunner Of local eminence. Trout are amply able to protect themselves. Look at their depredations among ducks, for example and you will agree with me that it's the birds that need protection. It's common thing for trout to jump from the water seize duck by the neck drag the unfortunate fowl into the depths sufficiently to leave it's feet sticking in the air, where it can get no purchase upon the uni verse. and thus drown it. Then the trout picks the feathers from the bird eats it at its leisure and swims away out of the jurisdiction of the courts Are there any fshermen2 None? Too bad This would be match for one of their fish stories.

PUT RELIGIOUS ay7Y sEcoND.
Stern Laws of Business Come First,
 Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which centcred on the observance of an old Jewish custom. was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant. says the Ameri- can Israelits. discharged q clerk OH ac- count of aect Of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning be- cause he attended service at the syna- gogue in order to say kaddish-the prayer for the dead-for his father. The clerk argued that it was his privi- lege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the mer- chant. who was also religious man, maintained that If Moses had known that man had to pay 5000 gulden a year rent Le would have made diffef ent laws" The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in fa- vor of the merchant because the daily attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer"

FAMlLY,s SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Alice tons Atfliet Different Members,
 But Cuticura Cures Them.

My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought We would give the Cu;icara Remedies trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. l myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. l now have q very heavy head of hair We used Cuticusa Remedies for our baby, who was neatly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. SEe is very aeshy. and We had so much trouble with heat that We would bathe her with Cutieura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment. it would dry the heat up so much quicker than any thing else.
