past fifteen years, mysteriously disap-
peared Saturday afternoon, since which
time no trace of him has been found. HA

ciaI)-A paper is being circulated by
friends of w. w. Scott, who for about fif-
teen years has been working as 4 Sunday
school missionary in the western part OF

live comfortably for the next year. Scott
who is nearly blind and can fill no other
position as well as he did the missionary
Job, was let out by the Presbyterian CON
ference a few days ago, after long and
faithful service. Numerous friends put
forth their best endeavors to have him re-

vide him a living, but the organization APP
peared to view the situation from a bust
ness standpoint My. Missionary Scott is
perhaps better known to the children and
old RESIDENT Of western Nebraska than any
other man. He began his labors at about
the beginning Of the drouth period several
years ago, and won the respect of ali by
his kindness and simple Christianity, and
he was always pleased to divide his
meager earning with those who were in
need OF help.

meet with general favor from all present

round ana that an effort will soon be made
TO place the necessary stock to build the

TO cost $4,000 and one-half the stock is
TO be furnished by the Marysville parties.

THE EVIL.

A few years ago it was estimated
that the divorces for the twenty-year
period 1887-1906 would reach a total
of 1000, 900. The actual count shows
945,625 cases of dissolution of mar
riages. In the 20-year period ended
with the year 1886 there were only
32S,716. Divorces are, therefore, in
creasing about three times as fast as
the population. At present there is
one divorce for about twelve mar
riages. 1t has been predicted that
the time will come when half of the
marriages entered into in this coun-
try will be annulled.
There may be good reasons for
many divorces, but there is no reason
why this country should lead the
world in the number of marriage fail
ures. There is no known reason why
divorces should be more frequent in
this country than in Canada, for. in
stance.
Several causes have been mentioned
as responsible for u f1ourish1ng d1-
vorce industry. Lax laws have some
thing to do with 1t. But the ch1ef
cause of the divorce evil is the lack
of appreciation of the sacred nature
of marriage covenants. People mar
nv. very often, without due considera-
ton of the important step they are
taking. The result is seen in unhappy
family life and the divorce courts.
After reading the government re-
port on marriage and divorce n
would think that any two fools with
but a single thought can get married
and unmarried also-at will.-Ex.
Divorce evils" are more probably
divorce blessings" How shall we de-
scribe that state of society where a
man and woman who do not o v each
other are yet compelled to live to-
gether. Whom God has joined TO-
gether, man cannot put asunder. NO.
beloved, that is lot an argument IN
favor of sacramento marriage. 1t is
merely a statement of a sc1entlhc
truth. Conversely, if a man and WON
an are forced by law to keep up the
form of the marriage relation against
their will or the will of either, what IS
it but legalized compulsory prostltu-
ton?

Whew the wind in the stubble-feld,
Where the dry stalks rustic their heads
together;
Pools by the roadside, all of them sealed
Overnight by the clerk of frosty weather.
The corn-stalks clatter their rusty rags,
Flashing the nipping wind that passes;
Dry leaves scamper like runaway nags,
Till caught and held by the sturdy
grasses.
But let the big winds whoop and blow!
Come on, old Winter, dump your snow!
Pile it thick, and pile it deep;
Give us snowdrifts that will keep;
Well have our turn when you begin,
For the automobiles will be showed in.
