All ashore" rang through the
steamer bound for Liverpool.
Reluctantly he tore himself from
his fair young wife and rushed down
the gangway.
Frank"
He turned, his eyes full of tears to
hear her last words.
Don forget"
All ready the steamer was swiftly
gliding from the dock.
To put the eat out at night.
He waved his hand to show he
heard her, and amid the hoarse
shricking of the tugs that Knocked
his misery. he bowed his head and
wept.
Democrats over all the country are
to be congratulated for one thing
anyway. All the reported shortage
in government revenue, and the
many, many strikes now taking
place in the United States daily, can
not be claimed by Republicans as a
calamity under the administration of
Il Democratic President. In fancy
see the shade of Grover Cleveland,
smiling, laughing, and actually hee-
having, at the antics of the Elephant
to discover some manner and style
OF exercise for the present condition
OF laborlnS people in this country,
where strike after strike is occur
ring, food-stutf advancing higher and
higher. and the number of men out
of employment increasing every day.
While Cardinal Gibbons, head of
the Roman Catholic Church in the
United States, is in hearty sympathy
with the total abstinence movement,
and hopes 1T will spread to the most
remote corners of the nation" he
says that in large cities it would
prove impract cticable. Here is man
of international fame who knows in
his own heart he speaks words of
solid truth when he declares total
abstinence is impracticable in large
cities. He is strong and brave
enough to acknowledge the bare
facts as regards the liquor question,
which is so delightful to read, after
hearing small, narrow Drained Prohis
say liquor must be bauiShed from
off the Earth, when they know it
will be impossible long rs cereals are
produced by Mother Earth
Congratulations to Rev. +. ]. Van
Horn. pastor of the Plymouth Con-
grcgational Church in Seattle If
you do not agree with this divine,
you should go behind the barn and
kick yourself until you do believe
what he says. In 4 recent Sunday
sermon he remarked as follows:
II wish the Government had law
whereby it could confiscate the property
OF the man who cOnceals his property
from the Assessor, and to assess il at
the price at which he holds il. This
system is an injustice that cannot be
corrected until we can analyze charac-
ter. and make people love clean hands
and pure hearts
Full of horSe-sensc is this Seattle
preacher. in this respect, at any rate.
and if churches had more truthful
ministers, such as Rev. Van Horn,
the seating capacity of their respec-
tive editices would be at q premium.

Prof. George Herbert Palmer, of
Harvard University. 81 years old,
says that a little flirting for every
college boy and girl, is not only ad-
visablc, but is even Imperative.
Listen to the Professor own words:
Flirting is the surest road towards
the proper knowledge of social life,
think the girls Of Radcliffe and the boys
of Harvard devote too much Of their
time to study. They actually bury them
selves in their books and the result is
that when they get through college they
do not know a thing about social life.
They should mingle little frivolity with
their studies in other words, they should
tlirt little
Between mandolin clubs, football
and baseball, basketball. rowing,
golfng, lawn tennis. bicycle, motor
cycle, horseback riding ahd college
plays. it will prove different, should
imagine. for college boy and girl .
to find time to " tlirt little.
