HARBINGER OF REST.

After years of ftful struggle
between the blacks and the whites
over matters to any sane person
of minor Importance what a har-
binger of rest it must be to either
side from the South to drop down
in the far Northwest where all
manner of man is too busy with
his own affairs to pay any at
tention to the other fellow
whether he be white or black ;
and, where the hum of the indus
trial wheels, the whang Of the
saw and the 'gingle of the gold all
create a dazzling den of content
ment like unto the old song our
mothers use to sing as they sat
by the winter Preside darning our
socks and unmindful of the biting
winds without. If the white man
does not enjoy the rest then we
believe we make no mistake when
we say the black man does. LII in
the South the black man is OF a
worthless good-for-nothing nature
he is not so in the Northwest. He
no sooner gets here than he
chances about him and seeing the
thrift and push of those already
here he almost before he knows it
is scrambling away just the same
as the other fellow. He may not
be as active in commercial lines
as his white neighbors nor per-
haps not as much as some OF his
colored brethren in the South, but
he gets busy at something mighty
soon after he gets here.
BIG BLACK MAN BUSY.
No, he does not get the perma-
nent employment that the white
man does, but he does not stop to
whine about that, he simply takes
what he can get, hordes his earn
ines and invests it and when he
has a sufficient amount puts 1T IN
to a piece Of real estate and then
forgets he has it and starts in to
oct more. Accompany this notice
is the cut Of a prosperous colored
man. who lives in the mountain
district near the Roslyn coal
mines. For some years he worked
in the mines digging coal, but be-
lieving he could do more for HIM
self he took what money he had
saved by working in the mines
and bought him a logging outfit
and took a contract to deliver tim
bers to the mines Julius John
son is the only black man that is
doing that kind of business in the
Northwest, and he is making good
money at it. Plenty of white men
are doing the same kind of work,
but they are all to busy hustling
to give Julius any consideration,
whether he is going to rule the
country by secretly plotting with
other Negroes to eXterminate the
whites or not. AS in the case of
Julius johnson so with hundreds
of other prosperous colored men.

And so do similar stories from
time to time drift out West of the

Prize fights are against the
spirit of civilization. There is no
call for such brutal exhibitions,
and the lesson is pernicious. It
inculcates a lesson which teaches
people to settle their difficulties
by brutality instead of mutual
agreement or arbitration. The
spirit of might makes right should
not prevail in this enlightened
land and that is what prize fights
lead to and should not be coun-
tenanced. 1t encourages an evil
spirit in the young people espe-
cially, which should not be fos-
tered for the sake of coming gen
erations. The prize fight is not
patronized by persons who have
the good of community at heart
but by persons who have minds
viciously inclined The character
of the people are known by the
company they keep and associate
with, and when you see the crowd
assembled at a prize fight you
readily estimate their moral stand
ing to be very low.
This is fly time writes a friend
of your uncle who resides in the
far-off state of New Jersey-the
headquarters for the far-famed
Jersey COW. Flies, flies all over
over us, said my friend. They fly
in your face and scratch, and in
your eyes, and even tickle your
nose. Look at that beautiful
horse stamping his feet and
switching them off in mortal
agony. And just see the flies on
grandpa's bald head. My, but
he will cuss when he wakes up.
Thus writes friend from Han
over, N. J. Well, we of this fair
Puget Sound country deeply SYM
pathize with the Jersey people.
We have lived in the East, and
have been devoured bodily by
flies and at the same time have
been Frustrated with the intense
heat, and at such times we have
prayed long and loud for relief
by shower accompanied with
small-sized donation Of thunder
and lightning Nothing of this in
the Puget Sound country. There
are no flies on us; no sultry nights
we can quietly repose every
night with blanket for a cover;
no thunder to jar the dishes off
of the shelf; no lightning to make
your dwelling a shining mark and
brighten you out of your boots or
kill you outright; no cyclones to
send you and your dwelling up
into the aerial heavens; no poison
GUS snakes and but few men have
snakes in their boots. Come and
reside in Puget Sound, the land
Of comfort, peace and quiet.

Money is not the root Of all
evil; it is the ardent love of it.
Many men make it their god.
They sacrifice everything for the
accumulation of money. Health,
comfort and friends are sacrificed
for money. They love it. 1t is
their daily study and their dream
at night. They take not thought
of relative, friend or neighbor.
They toll month after month and
year after year. They are I'M
happy because their greed for
money is not satisfied. He strives
earnestly for money until death
ends his career. He has left no
mark of appreciation by the peo-
pie. He leaves no good deeds that
live. and his death ends all.

LANDS END.

The district of Lands End is situ- ated in the northern part of New town. It is one and quarter miles in length and about the same in breadth. At what time it was settled is not exactly known, but it is supposed about 2J0 years ago, by one Benjamin Hawley, who came from Wales in company with two of his brothers. They stopped at Stratford and from thence he start ed on horse back and alone on an exploring expedition After travel ing a day 1.-two he came to a place now called Botsford's Swamp. Here his horse became mired and he be- wildereG. He wandered around awhile hoping he should tird his way through, put the farther he went, the more bewildered he was, and he thought he could not be far from the ocean.
 But to his great joy he saw not far distant place that appeared like an opening. To this he di- rected his course and was socn on a beautiful plain where he encampet for the night. The next morning he arose and took a view Of the coun- try, which pleased him so we'll, that he concluded to settle here. On go- ing back to Stratford, the people crowdel around him, and eagerly questioned him, where he lad been, expecting to hear nil relate some dreadful encounter with some of the savages, or wild beasts, with which the country then abounded. Bit he had only his adventure in the swamp to relate; he, told them he had been to the end of the land. From this circumstance it is said the. place de- rived it's name. He immediately re- moved his family to this place, and from him have descended the num- erous Hawley's which still inhabif the place. An anecdote is related, which gees to show the intelligence and enterprise of this race of people. The person of whom I am about to speak, lived in the time when matched roofs for barns were fash ionable. His barn roof being old, he thought he would put on new one, and to do this he must, of course. first take off the old one, so, think ing no harm, he set fire to it, when to his utter astenishment, his barn was soon in flames and burned to the ground.
 The first scnoolhouse in Lands End was one moved from the district above this, called Whisconier. in 1791, these districts united, and the house of Whisconier was moved on .he | undary line between Brook field and Newtown. This remained about 20 years, when it was torn down, and a new one erected in its

 Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- fammation, alteration, displacements, fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but a trife to try it, and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.
