Story of Three Little Prophets.

the true temperance prophets that
went out IN the world as total alb
stainers, The fist had only straw
as his reasons for temperance prin-
cIpIes and the White Horse who is
seeking whom he might devour"
if necessary could easily blow away
the straw and destroy prophet Mol,
but will leave him for what he has
done and what he can do. The
second little prophet lived just up
across the road in very large loan
sion built of mahogany aud decked
with valuable diamonds, and jewels.
each temperance thought had driven
q nail in it. But he was not care
full for great White Horse hap
pened in it and was stronger and
nocked it to pieces. The third little
prophet still belonging to the tribe
had reasons for being a total alb
stainer from careful prepared tenn
perance mammals. He had the best
medical testimony, the best that
could be learned from DIR. Franklin,
Bible reasons, scientific reasons, and
was in every way strong intelligent
abstainer. lie could out talk either
of the other prophet and in every
conversation told the biggest story,
Drink and the world drinks with
You Swear of and you drink aloDo
Love thy neighbor as thy self and
happiness wi come to thee in all
cases, We would rather cur neigh
bors know us as sinners than the
Lord to know us as hypocrits.

The weather during the present
winter has been The coloe for
many years. While it works q
great hardship on the farmers, and
especially stockmen, winters such as
this are nearly always followed by
big crops: One OF the causes of
this is the fact thac rhe ground is
covered for long time with snow,
which causes the soil to be friable
and fills it with water. The result
is that the crops start early and are
we'll matured before the dry serson
begins. The cool weather also af-
fects fruit trees md shrubery N q
similar manner. They are prevent
ed fro ftarting their growth which
would be frosted by late frost in
the spring. Such winters as we are
row having are nearly always fol.
lowsd by splendid fruit crops.
