Where the Chinook Winds Come
From,

From
Newcomers who now have their
first personal experience with the
chinook will be interested in know
ing just what sort of a meteorologi-
cal caper it is.
No other phenomenon in this land
of meteorological mysteries is quite
so unique and distinctive as the Chi
nook winds. From the days of Lewis
and Clark the chinook has been a de-
light and a wonder. It's name is de-
rived from the Chinook nation of In

shown that this belief was largely
erroneous.

attention to these important matters,
but predicts that with the excellent
harvest secured from the irrigated
lands this year, it will not be many
months before the areas unutilized
will be taken up and put in crops.
The opportunities for homemakers
on a number of these projects are so
attractive and the terms under which
these lands are disposed of SO rea-
sonable that there is every reason to
expect a heavy rush of homemakers
to take up these farms before the be-
ginning of the next crop season.

Nation Sells Indulgencies.

To-day the Government is a part
ner in the liquor traffic. This is its
shame. 1t is a great stain upon ou7
nations life. Somehow or other I'm
Gle Sam has been induced to buy out
large share of Old Nick's interest in
the business, and he finds it an ex-
ceedingly profitable investment, If it
does impoverish his people. His cof-
fers are full. His vaults are almost
bursting with accumulated millions of
gold and silver. Every now and then
he must make new vaults to hold the
surplus. And he says to the liquor
men, Go on debauching manhood,
running health, dethroning reason,
peopling prisons, supplying gallows,
filling hell, but be careful to give me
every cent of my share of the pro-
flts,"
Thus the nation sells indulgencies
to sin. Thus it builds itself up with
the price of blood. Thus it estab-
fishes itself with the price of ini-
guilty. Thus it places itself under the
woes Of Almighty God. Thus it be-
comes particeps criminis in all the
denominations growing out of the
liquor business.

The Source of Power.

The power which inspiration has
over the body is one of the miracles
of life. The career of every man
who influences his generation dis"
plays 1t, but each new instance gives
new energy and strength to those
willing to profit by example. Colonel
Hammond, an old friend of Dwight L.
Moody, has this story to tell of the
spirit of the evangelist:
Mr.. Moody, says the colonel, came
to see me one Sunday after his morn
ing service, seeming to be quite tried
out. He threw himself into a chair
and burst out with the following ex-
clamations:
Il am used up! Can't think or
speak or do anything else! There Is
my meeting at the church tonight
You must take it! l have absolutely
nothing left in me!"
Knowing that Mr.. Moody never
asked for help unless he needed it.
promised to take the service off his
hands. When the time came, | went
to the Illinois Street Church and
found the house quite full. | was
about to commence the service. when
in walked. or rather rushed, Mr..
young men, whom he had picked up
in saloons or on street corners, and
brought with him on an errand which
was evidently to them a new one
Mounting the platform with a
bound. he seized the hymn-book and
began; and from the beginning to
the end of that service had nothing
to do but to keep out of the way.
1t appeared that he had taken an
hour or two of rest, and then, having
no care about the evening service on
his mind. took up his old familiar
work of bringing in recruits, at which
he happened this time to be still more
successful than usual.
As he led the way to the church
some happy thought struck him. and
between the street corner and the pull
pit he arranged a sermon which was
one of the most effective | ever heard
him preach

This is an established fact, and 1t is
ilso well-known fact that the most
successful business men not only In

ally we find merchant who does not
believe in advertising at all. He tried
small ad for a month perhaps and
hen stopped 1t. Thought 1t did not
pay. Did he take down that big sign
,ver his store front at the same time?
Oh. no. Now. then. what is the dif.
ference? Both your sign and your
advertisement are used to draw trade.
Both are necessary to your success.

Russia and the Drink Evil.

M. Fuster, in L'Alcool, has this to
say of the drink evil in Russia:
Il have visited all the countries of
Europe, and | can say that in no part
have seen SO many drunkards as in
Russia. On Sundays and on fete
days Cof which there are more than
100 officially recognized, besides Sun
days) they are to be found every
where in towns and villages. On the
edges of the footpaths, in corners of
the streets. one stumbles against men
dead drunk, sleeping a leaden sleep.
The police occasionally pick them up,
but more usually leave them to sleep
in peace. At Moscow / have often
seen peasants and workmen lying in
the dust, bottle of vodka in their
shrivelled hands. In every street
there Is an official place of sale, and
the people form up in a queue as at
the door of theatre and pass in
with their empty bottle, and exchange
them for bottles full of liquor with
forty per cent. of alcohol"

II our life is to escape the danger.
Our Lord knew this well when He
said, How hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the Kingdom
of Heaven. Sometimes | think we
pray too much for the poor man and
too little for the rich We lavish our
sympathies upon the pauper and we
fling scathing denunciations at the
plutocrat. Each type of man has his
peculiar temptations, and everything
depends upon the way in which he
deals with that temptation. So many
men show weakness here. and It is all
the more pitiable because they have
shown such strength in other things.
The temptations to fragrant forms OF
evil they will meet with the con-
queror's spirit and then will yield to
the insidious and subtle temptation
OF placing their fortune building, or
their fame acquiring. in the supreme
position of their life. Oh, how often
we see this. and how sad 1t is. when
we know what the result always is.
It never deviates, for it is an inexora-
BILE law of life, that the man who
spends his days in simply getting and
gaining, robbing himself OF all the
beauty that is within him, relegating
God to an inferior position, trampling
upon the high ideals that dominate
a noble mind, the end OF such man
is worse than the beginning-it is
failure-it is loss. But what bene-
diction to the world is the prosperous
man, who has recognized Jesus Christ
through all the days of his prosperity,
who has given to Him the first place
and put his prosperity in the second.
Whatever our undertaking may be in
life, whether business or a profess
sional career, let us bring to 1t the
inward force of ambition, always con-
templating success, but let us also
keep in mind the danger that we are
in of having our religious fervor
stifed.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMpERANCE.
The Rum Traffic

First and foremost, as always, is
the fact that the sale of liquor results
detrimentally to the community. indi-
vidually and collectively
A few men are prospered financial
ly by the licensed sale of liquor, but
the vast majority are made poorer by
II, and thousands are subjected by
1t to extreme hardship and misery.
There Is not single sound argu-
ment, moral or material, that can be
advanced In favor of the sale of
liquor
Many good citizens vote "Yes" year
after year on the assumption that the
sale of liquor cannot be stopped by a
mo" vote. and that 1t is better to
have the business regulated under
license.
Many others vote "Yes" because of
the money the sale of licenses brings
into the city treasury.
Neither OF these reasons justifles
the infiiction upon the community of
the evils Of the rum traffic
There has never been any honest
attempt to regulate the liquor traffic
under license.
A computation of the extra burden
OF expense entailed upon the city by
SN iuu ~ iahiS InlouBH lHe ponce
and pauper departments would show
that the city pays out more than it
receives on account of it.
Add to what the city pays in extra
police and pauper appropriations the
amounts expended by the churches
and charitable institutions and by in
dividuals in caring for the victims of
the pauper-breeding traffic and the
amount received from liquor licenses
appears only drop in the bucket in
comparison.
Then the loss of income to many
families eutailed by drunkenness
which results in the loss of time or
the loss of jobs must be taken into
consideration.-Nat Advocate.

"After Your Boy."

One Of the delegates to a State con-
vention of Christian Endeavorers, a
young business man, dressed in nat
ty rough-and-ready suit, every move
ment alert and eager, and telling of
bottled energy within, came suddenly
upon a red-faced citizen who evident
ly had been patronizing the hotel bar.
Buttonholing the delegate trife un-
tremendously, the latter said:
What are you fellows trying to do
down at the meetings? You are -
temperance, / see by the papers. Do
you think you could make a temper
arce man of me?"
No." replied the delegate. looking
him over from head to foot with a
keen glance. I'VE evidently couldn't
do much for you, but we are after
your boy"
At this unexpected retort the man
dropped his Jocular tone and said Sc
riously: We'll, you have got the right
Of 1t there. II somebody had been af-
ter me when / was boy l should be
