DO YOU LOVE HUMANITY?

To Every Reader of The Jefersonian.
I ask you to read this letter. and then take
step in advance of the former way of doing
things But first let me ask you if you love
humanity? Then let me ask you if you want to
do something sure enough worth while to help
suffering and while you live? I am
going to tell you of right here that are
our own people. What I tell you is true. First,
there is an old woman here-about seventy years
old-who tramps these streets, day in and day
out, selling, when she can, some soaps and
tracts, and such like. She hardly get about
sometimes. She has a daughter who is almost
invalid, and who demands her constant care a
lot of the time. They have nothing. I don't
know how they pay their house rent. They are
honorable people-just poor. They have to have
food and clothing, and fuel and shelter and medi-
cine. | know that some Of the people of this
town have helped her some but I see her nearly
every day trying to sell her goods; and I know
she needs help mean sure enough help-help
that will enable her to eat enough and not be
for fear that she will not have any for her
self and daughter next time. Will you help her?
Then there is in this town who is over
fifty years Old The greater part of his life has
been spent in suffering, and work for
else. At his age he is without home. He is
almost invalid. He has walked and tried to
sell various little things till he almost would
faint. l have met him, when he was sick enough
to be in bed, trying to sell his stuff and make
money enough to get him shirt,
hat, or shoes in place of those worn about out
He is a good man, and has been true to every
trust committed to him. Now what awaits him,
God only knows. If he goes to the poorhouse-
God forbid The poorhouse is travesty on
everything that is good. If he goes to the home
of some one else he will suffer all the embarrass-
ment that usually comes If he gets sick he will
suffer. He has not relative in the world that is
able to give the help he needs Will you help
him?
Then there is here maiden lady who devoted
all her young womanhoOd to caring for her pa
rents. They are dead-ded poor-and she is left
without a home anything to help herself with
and no health. She is nearly fifty years DID, and
growing more feeble each year She is deserving
Will you help her?
Then there is a man here with family of six
little helpless children. Four years ago this
had home, and had it paid for He lost his
health and had to mortgage his property, and it

THE FARMERS UNION.

According TO the Atlanta Constitu-
ton the Farmers Union of America is
about to enter an international phase
by invading the Dominion of Canada.
This organization, which is expert
encing such rapid growth of power
and popularity in Umatilla county
and the Inland empire is referred to
by the Georgia paper as undoubtedly
the most powerful organization OF
bona fide farmers in American history.
1t seems that President Barrett of
the Union, whose home is IN Atlanta,
has recently returned from a tour of
our sister country on the north. He
spent a day in western Canada, and
reports that the big wheat growers
of that country are anxious to be af-
filiated with the American organi-
cation. 1t is therefore only matter
of a few months until the constructive
propaganda that has gone forward so
phenomenally in this country will be-
gin its forward march in King
Georges western domain.
In viewing the prospective situa-
ton the Constitution says:
cit is interesting to speculate upon
the possible international influence
to be exerted by this prospective COM
pact.

closer accord the business and politi-
cal relations of the two nations, since
the interests of the farmer in Ameri>

1T is rather a far cry. of course,
u the time when the Farmers Union
IL Canada will gain sufficient head
fay To become a recognizable factor
in the counsels Of the Dominion. But
when it does. it is by no means in
conceivable that we shall see a move
nent for a readjustment of the tariff
relations now existing between the two
governments, with profit to consumer
and producer living under each.
Perhaps the most significant fea-
tyre Of the development, however
small in its present proportions is

ONE OF ALIENS JOKES.

of conversation among a crowd of
Hoosiers recently:
"When Benjamin Harrison was
president Of the United States a dele
CATION from Indiana came to Wash
ington to talk over appointments and
while waiting in the lobby outside the
presidents private office at the white
house. the conversation turned to
lawyers.
"'Whom do you think the greatest
lawyer in the state?' asked one of the
party. l..
"'Why, Benjamin Harrison, OF
course" responded two or three of
the members in chorus. "Not only is
President Harrison the best lawyer
in Indiana, but he is the best in the
country. There is absolutely no
doubt of this
"'And whom do you think the
next best lawyer in the state?' was
the second query propounded.
"'That's easy. Albert ]. Bever-
idge' was the response.
'Beveridge? Beveridge?' re-
peated the man. You certainly don't
mean that. He is hardly old enough
to vote and the paint on his shingle is
still fresh

MUZZLING ROOSTERS.

says the Spokesman Review.
"One has but to pick up me file of
any paper to note the ever-increas-
ing example of nobility and altru-
ism; the leavening force of love and
unselfishness in this work-a- day
world.
But of all the examples which
might be recorded ii seems probable
that none is more deserving of notice
than that of the Chicago man who
recently muzzled his prize rooster for
the benefit of his neighbors.
Here is an example of Christian
spirit, of humility and self-effacement
which is rare indeed. Those worthy
spirits who endow colleges, rescue
pretty women from brigands, take
f.owers to hospitals or provide homes
for homeless children, are deserving
OF credit of course. but their actual
personal sacrifice is often somewha;
questionable. Eut when a poultry fam

THE VANITY OF WOMAN.

And once again the nimble wtted
preacher is on the track of poor old
Mother Eve.
The Rev. DR.. Johnson of some
where in the middle west is conduct
ing a crusade against vanity in dress.
"Our wives and daughters" says
the Rev. Mr. Johnson, buy classy
boots and silk stockings and never
miss an opportunity to give am eXhi-
bition of both these articles
What can we expect of girls
brought up to think so much of
dress?
Sensible men have no influence
whatever upon the women of their
families. What are we going to do
about it?'
Dear me, Mr. Johnson, how dread
fully you do seem to be cut up about
those silk stockings and classy boots!
What is a classy boot, anyway? I'd
love to know. Wouldn't you, girls?
And as to the silg stockings, l fail
to see anything especially immoral in
any kind of stocking, even if it is
silk.
Sensible men have no influence
upon the women of their families"
All, indeed Well, they seem TO
! have good deal of influence on the
women who are not of their families
and those women certainly wear just
about as classy boots as there are in
the market
