Measure of a Man.

The place to take the true meas
ure of a man is not in the darkest
place of the amen corner, nor in
the forum or field, but his own
Preside. There he lays aside the
mask and you may learn whether
he is an imp or angel, king or cur,
hero or bulldog. l care not what
the world says of him-whether it
crowns him boss,or pelts him with
bad eggs. | care not a copper
what his religion or reputation
may be. If his babies dread his
homecoming and his better-half
swallows her heart every time she
has to ask him for a one dollar
bill, he is a fraud of the first wa
ter, even though he prays night
and morn, until he is dark in the
face, and bowls hallelujah until
he shakes the eternal hills. Buff
his children rush to the front gate
to meet him, and loves sunshine
illumines the face of his wife, when
she hears his foot fall, you can
take it for granted that he is pure
gold, his home is a heaven, and
the humbug never gets that near
the Great White Throne of God.
He may be a rank atheist and
mugwump; he may buy votes in
blocks of five and bet on elections,
may deal them from the bottom of
the deck, and drink. beer until he
can't tell a silver dollar from a cir
cular saw, and still be an infinite
ly better man than the cowardly
little humbug who is all suavity in
society, but who makes home a
HI, who vents upon the head of
his helpless wife and children an
ill-nature he would like to !inflict
on his fellow man, but dares not.
l can forgive much in a fellow
mortal who would rather have the
hate of the world than the con-
tempt of his wife; who would
rather call anger to the eyes of a
king than fear to the face of a
child. SUBSCRIBER.

A Great Day in Arcadia.

Mr.. Editor-We went down to
Arcadia Saturday to the barbecue.
1t raj a bowling success aud a
great day for Arcadia and vicini-
ty. They threw the throttle wide
open for all, and everybody had "a
snorting good time = from the
brawny yeoman to the village
dude, each vying to see which
could Guido the other in the ex-
potts of the day, aud many OF
them got their spirituous strength
renewed, and many a stiff limb
was again made timber, and, in
their new found buoyancy, wab-
bled gracefully along the streets.
Many tongues were also loosed
and the fragant fumes OF profanity
greeted the ears of those who were
intent to become more acquainted
with profane history. The fstic
performances were of the highest
order, lifting the actors off their
very feet in the ecstacy of the oc-
casion. Others, coming in too close
relationship with some flying mem
Der, carried away birthmark re-
semblances on their faces. The
product of the brew was very
much in evidence as the surging
multitudes came, bubbling over,
full to the brim, carrying away the
unemptied bottles, in baskets, wa
gons, umbrellas, gunny sacks,
pockets, bootlegs and all other
conceivable ways to their mothers,
wives and sweethearts. l tell you,
Mr.. Editor, it was a grand sight,
and Arcadia will not be outdone!

relative:

late. It's already done. Go on

blood issuing from his lips and
stopping his speech.

The following is reproduced
from a Lewistown, Montana,
paper: "The news of the death of
William Pinkley. a brother of j.
E. Pinkley of this city, was re-
ceived here a few days ago, death
having taken place on the 9Th inst.
Few details have been received in
this city concerning the death,
which was sudden and entirely I'M
expected. Mr.. Pinkley of this city
is unable to get into communica-
ton with the surviving wife of the
deceased. Death took place at
Girard, Mont, near Mondak. The
deceased was postmaster at this
point. He had resided there for
about eight years past. Previous
to that time he had resided in
Lewistown, where he was we'll and
favorably known by a wide circle
of friends, who are shocked and
panied to hear of his early and
sudden demise. William Pinkley
was born in I%ronton, Mo-, and
when a young man came to Lewis
town about eighteen years ago
with his brother, Jess. He was
forty-three years of age at the
time of his death. In Lewistown
he was employed for a time at the
Power store. Since leaving here
eight years ago he has been en-
gagged in the stock business at
Girard." The deceased was well
known in Iron county, where he
spent his boyhood, and many
friends will learn of his death with
sorrow.
