Quotations From Miss Willard:

To Frances f. Wizards great
heart early in life came the vision
fair and clear and beautiful, the Wis
ion which, save for our dullness, of
spiritual apprehension and slewness
of perception, should come, to us all.
This is is her description of 1T She
was Dean Of Women at Northwest
ern University at the time. She
says: 1T occurred to me, strange
to say, for the first time, that9I
ought to work for the good cause
Just whereI was-that everybody
ought. Thus I first received the
a aanoorninn uh:oL-

against it; if, just where he is,, the
teacher would instruct his pupils;
if, just. where. he is, the voter would
dedicate his ballot to this move
ment; and so on, through the shin
ing ranks of the great
powers that make for
righteousness, from & father and
mother to kindergarten loddiefs,aif
each were each daydoing what each
could, just where he is."
"Everything4is not in the tenn
perance REFORM" she said, "butgt the
tempe ance reform shouldzobeoj in
everything" And again, IF we
a remember this simple rule that
every question of practical philan-
thropy or reform has Its temperance
aspect, and with that we are to
DEAL"
Her clear mind had4no doubt on
the prohibition question. We
must not only know why the times
are out of joint and what will put
them where they ought to be-" she
declared, but must harness the
forces that will do it to the, car of
reform. When coal in the mine
but not in the CRATE will warm you;
when -four in the barrel but not in
the loaf will feed you; when wool
on a sleeps back but not woven or
spun will clothe you, then the pub
lie sentiment lying dormant in
every sane mind but not aroused,
condensed and brought to bear
through the electric batteryaof the
ballot-box, will put the liquor traffic
under ban of law"
Speaking of her owny"Do Every
thing" policy she said: by this
we mean what they did at the bat
tie of Boyne, whenever you see a
head, hit it, Wherever the lqnor
traffic is entrenched, there put in an
appearance and send out the ammu7
milton of your Calling gun, rafting;
is fires along the entire field. The
liquor traffic is entrenched in the
customs of society-go out after it,
then, with the pledge of total absti-
nence for Others sake. The liquor
traffic is protected by the peoples
ignorance go after it in the Sunday
schools and public schools with a
Thus saith Nature, thus saith Rea7
son, thus saith the Lord The
liquor traffic is safeguarded by the
law---go after it into Legislature
and parliament, and give them no
rest for the soles of their feet till
they giyeyou better law than you
have yet achieved"

A Two-Headed Kitten.

DIR E T Kelly has a genuine curl
osity, secured a few days ago, in
the form of a two-headed kitten,
The double-headed monstrosity lived
only about twelve hours and the
Doctor has preserved the body in
alcohol. This freak of natl r. is the
average size of a nascent feline, hav-
ing two distinct, we'll developed
pairs of ears and eyes and two
mouths and noses, besides all the
other features of normal cat. DR.
Kelley tried hard to keep alive the
little fellow but the vital spark
scarcely kindled into fame ere it was
snuffed out.

Superintendent of Education Nc
Cullough informs us that he has re-

fore the board.
Rev w Al Fairy has accepted an
invitation to preach the dedication
sermon at Cedar Swamp church next
Sun lay at II o'clock a. m. The
church waserected several years ago,
but the rule is, we understand, with
the Methodist denomination not to
dedicate a house of worship to God
until it has been wholly paid for.
We congratulate the Cedar Swamp
congregation upon at last being in a
position to dedicate their new church
building and bespeak a large and ap-
preciative attendance on this occa'
sion.
Last Thursday we were presente d
by our friend, Mr. w Patrick OF
Fowler, with a dozen fine, large, de-
licious peaches that were a worthy
concomitant to the nectar and am
brosia of mighty Jove and his asso'
ciate deities on Mount Olympus. Alb,
ruptly descending from fancy to
fact, they were the prettiest speci'
mems of peaches we have ever seen
produced in this county. The largest
ones measured ct inches around and
none fell below 9 inches in circum-
ence. They were perfect beauties
and the kindly act will cling to our
memory even as the luscious GRIM
son-hued fruit clung to its kernel.

Publisher Sells and Rents.

This, from an exchange, sizes up
the matter to nicely: The pub
Usher of newspaper has one thing
to sell and one to rent. He has the
newspaper to sell and the space of
its columns to rent. Can any one tell
why he should give away either? He
can, if he chooses, and doeS,as a
matter of fact, furnish a good deal
of space rent free. But it does not
follow that he should be expected to
do so. 1t ought to be recognized as
would be the giving of sugar or coffee
by the grocer. But, strange to say,
it is not looked upon in that light at
all, and yet everybody knows that
the existence of a newspaper de-
pends upon the rent of its space and
the sale of the paper, just the same
as a merchants success depends
upon the selling of his goods instead
of giving them away"

Prefers Newspaper Advertising.

Il have never in my life" says
John Wanamaker, used such thing
as poster,a dodger or handbill.
My plan for twenty-five years has
been to buy so much space in a
newspaper and fill it up with what |
wanted. would not give an adver-
tisement in a newspaper of four
hundred circulation for five thousand
posters and dodgers. If | wanted to
sell cheap jewelry or run a lottery
scheme | might use posters, but |
wouldn't insult a decent reading
public with handbills. ."-Amerlcan
