hair flowing over his shoulders. The

But the war broke out and his faith

drinking habits, he was a born soldier

CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD
Continued from Page Three. J

DuC Always Keep IeIHemueIlH WucH
cares your path enshroud,
That God has lots Of sunshine to spill
behind the cloud.
Captain Crawford is one of the
most unique and delightful entertain
ers of the present time. Poetry, pa
triotism, history, wit and religion are
all blended in what he modestly calls,
a medley Of frontier experiences in
terspersed with his verse and once in
a while bit of song. His entertain
ments possess a charm that wins his
audience, whether he addresses hall
full of boys or the leading spirits at
the nation S capital. Ebert Hubbard,
who is himself brilliant writer, an
original thinker and one Of the most
captivating and forceful speakers on
the American platform, says Of him:
"Jack Crawford is an orator, poet,
man; and I'll go you Stetson
against stogie that Harvard, Yale,
Columbia and Princeton have not
man on their roster who can hold an
audience Of 1000 people for two
hours and not have person leave or
want to leave. Captain Jack can do
it, and moreover can adapt himself to
any kind Of an audience, from Chicago
newsboys to parliament Of religions.
The man is a marvel of manly
strength, fluid intelligence, flowing wit
and oratorical grace.
"Who taught Captain Jack to throw
the lariat of his imagination over US
and rope us hand and foot and put his
brand upon US? Yes, that is what I
mean-who educated him? God edu-
Gated him.
Casual acquaintance sometimes are
surprised that Captain Crawford is
such an advocate of teetotalism. But
the reason is not far to seek. His
fathers intemperance deprived him
Of even the rudiments of an education,
and when his mother died he gave her
a solemn promise never to touch a
drop Of liquor. How faithfully he
has kept his word to her everybody
who knows him is aware. She knew
his wild nature, and realized better
than he could what a temptation drink
might become to him. And he con-
siders that he owes all that he has
accomplished in life to that sacred
promise.
Captain Crawford's temperance
principles are so we'll known that he is
not often asked to drink. But one in
stance is recorded, when he offered a
toast which all women should read.
1t was at a banquet in Boston when
one Of the young ladies passed a glass.
across the table with the request that
he drink a toast to the ladies'" The
poet scout s hand and voice trembIed
as he took the glass from the jeweled
hand, but looking into the laughing
eyes Of the girl he said:
"Miss, this difficult task
you have given me, but a soldiers
duty is first to obey orders-and |
shall try to drink toast to woman
not in that, however, which may bring
her husband Keeling home to abuse

HARTMAN STOKE TO CONTINUE.

The Elks have leased the first
and second floors of the Hartman
property to the r. +. Hartman
store, and it will te reopened after
the confirmation of the sale by the
court. with an entirely new stock
of goods. r. E. Hartman will be
the manager, and the public gener-
ally will be pleased to know that
this old stand, the oldest in town
that has been continuously con-
Quoted by one family for so many
years, is not going out of existence.
The Hartman store has been
characterized by fair dealing, and
for handling good merchandise at
reasonable prices, and the long ex-
perience of Mr.. Hartman will en-
able him to command the same lib
eral patronage that it has always
enjoyed in the past. We wish him
abundant success under the new
arrangement.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

St. Valentine was a Romish
priest who bef-iended the martyrs
in the persecution of Claudius III,
and was in consequence arrested,
beaten with clubs, and finally be-
headed, February ID, A. D. 27o.-
Pope Julius built church in his
honor, near Porte Mole, which gave
its name to the gate, Porta st.
Valentini, now called "Porta del
Popolo," and by the ancient Ro-
mans "Porta Flaminia"
Observe Tie 18Th February was
the Festival of Februta Juno (Juno
the Fructifyer). and the Roman
Catholic clergy substituted st. Val
entine for the heathen Goddess.
This makes quite an interesting
little history of the we'll known and
now we'll observed St. Valentine S
Day.
The amendment of the Roman
clergy shows the reason why the
day is now set apart to social
festivities and love making among
young people-thus combining
somewhat the commemoration of
both the Christian martyr and the
Heather Goddess.
These observances link together
the present and the past. They
teach us history in legend. They
keep alive the reasons for the his
tory of persons, places and things,
and the olhy and aoheref0re. The
fact is one thing, the reason why is
another, and helps to fix in the
mind this foundation fact.

THE TOWN ELECTION.

Next Tuesday will be election
day. At that time there will be Sc
lected a President of the Town
Council and six members, and up
on them will fall the duty OF max
ing the appointments of the several
officers under them, including a
solicitor, street commissioner, sec
retary, treasurer, &c.
This town is getting to be
pretty large affair. 1t handles a
considerable sum of money each
year, and its business is such that
it ought to be done by men who
have shown some capacity for busi-
ness.
Both of the party caucuses have
made nominations for council, and
we are not informed of anything
detrimental to the personal char
acter of any of them. But it is gen.
orally conceded that the full party
nominations for the Office ought
not to be elected, because some of
the men have not shown any quail
6cations for so important an office.
in business way.
1t would seem, then, that the
proper thing for the voters to do is
to vote in an independent way, for
independent candidates, among
whom there are a number of good
men, and thus select a council that
is competent to govern our muni-
cipal affairs in an intelligent and
business-like manner.
James H. Coleman has made an
excellent President Of Council, and
should be reelected. James Magee,
and c. w. Runyon, independents,
and H. c. Rulon on the Democrat
ic ticket should all be returned as
members. All of them have proven
themselves valuable men for the
place. Magee and Runyon are both
among our most prominent busi'
ness men, and have been elected
as independents for several years
in succession. AS long as they are
willing to sacrifice themselves for
the good of the town. they ought to
be retained.
With Coleman as President and
these three as councilmen, it mat
ters little who the other three
members are though Mr.. Naylor
has made an efficient officer and
should be continued. With these
men in the council, the taxpayers
can rest assured that the town
government will be conducted sole
ly in the interest of all the people,
and the council will not be owned
nor controlled by any one man nor
by any political clique.
Politics does mt count i'll our
municipal election. Vote for the
best men, regardless of party ties.
