INTEMPERANCE is GREAT EVIL
Unity Of Purpose and Cooperation
Necessary to Overcome and De
stroy Prevailing Habit.

The present time demands unity Of
purpose and cooperation on the part
of all who seek to overcome the fear.
full prevailing intemperance and to de-
stroy the causes and forces that lead
to it and foster it. It is agreed that
intcmperance is great evil, that it
is sin in itself, and is destructive to
every one who comes under Its power,
says United Presbyterian. There is
the law of temperance, or sobriety. Of
abstinence from all that works evil.
The place of intemperance is In the
moral world. We must meet 1t In
this sphere. 1t does not meet the case
to cry out against the laws that exist
in relation to the sale of intoxicants.
That is different sphere Of duty. In
the first place, we must address the in
dividual; we must show him the sin,
and teach him the judgment that will
surely follow, that even now is resting
on the Incorporate man. We think we
are not mistaken when we say that in
this there has been less preaching and
teaching than is our duty. We begin
our attack at a more advanced point;
we give a different direction to our
effort. But, first Of all, we must ad-
dress the Incorporate, or those who
are in danger of falling into the sin.
We say much of the ruin wrought by
intemperance, but the first point is the
sin, the sin against God as well as
against ourselves, and that he Is pre-
pairing his Judgment against the day
of wrath. The drunkard shall not en-
ter into the presence of the holy God.
in this we can all unite; in this we
should all unite with intense earnest
ness.
But intemperance has its relation
to the social life and to the civil law.
Along with drunkenness there are the
agencies that foster and strengthen
the habit. Along with the personal in
temperance there is the liquor busi-
ness, beside the home there is the
saloon. The saloon exists under the
law: it has defined relation to So
c1al order. 1t must be met on it's
own field. In this the object is to
close the saloon and abolish the trade
in intoxicants Every saloon is an
agency that increases intemperance;
it is a school of intemperance and
drunkenness. So we must meet 1t.
Here again all should be united, but
in fact there is division.
Of necessity we enter the field of
politics, for the object Is to take the
saloon from under the protection of
the law by the license it receives from
the state. In this there must be great
wisdom and prudence-prudence that
no wrong method be adopted, or any
right method used in a wrong way;
and wisdom that we may unite all
and combine every possible political
and social influence against the COM
mon sale of liquor.

Blessed Illusions.

Thank heaven that a little illusion
is left to us, to enable us to be useful
and agreeable-that we don't know
exactly what our friends think of us
that the world is not made of look
ing glass, to show us just the figure
we are making, and just what is going
on behind our backs! BY the help of
dear friendly illusion, we are able to
dream that we are charming and our
faces wear becoming air of self
possession; we are able to dream that
other men admire our talents and
our benignity is nndisturbed; we are.
able to dream that we are doing much
good-and we do little. George

FOES ONLY DURING DEBATE
And That Ended, Recriminating sena.
tors Speedily Forget Their
Differences.

The late John ]. ingalls,. senator
from Kansas. let loose In the senate
one day about Conkling, Hancock and
several other distinguished people.
His remarks were particularly severe.
Joe Blackburn, then senator from
Kentucky, was chosen to answer In
gals, and he took good deal Of hide
of the brilliant Kansan In one para
graph Blackburn said: "And this
man has the temerity to assail Han
cockHancock the Superb was
giving Of his life's blood on the
heights of Gettysburg while the sena-
tor from Kansas was skulking along
behind regiment of Kansas jay
hawkers, trying those jayhawkers In
the capacity Of Judge advocate for
robbing hen roosts."
There was more of the same kind,
and everybody thought there would be
trouble, inasmuch as ingalls, was high
spirited and Blackburn unafraid.
After the senate adjourned Black
burn and Ingalls, met, face to face, In
the corridor in front of the marble
room. A dozen spectators looked for
carnage
ingalls, stopped, looked squarely into
Blackburn's eyes and Blackburn glared
back
"Joe," said Ingalls,. putting out his
hand. isn't this cruel war over?"
1T is,' said Blackburn, taking the
offered hand, and they went off arm

DRINKING IN LOW COUNTRIES
In Both Holland and Denmark Raw.
ages of Habit in Late Years
Painfully Apparent.

In both Holland and Denmark, the
latter especially, the ravages of the
drink habit have in late years been
painfully apparent, but in both coun-
tries the work of reform Is now being
undertaken in earnest and great prog
ress has already been made. In Den
mark over half the adult population
have lately signed petition to the
Danish parliament in favor of the en-
acting of law giving the privilege of
local veto to every section of the coun-
try This movement is conducted un-
der the auspices of the Danish Good
Templars, and the petition signatures
up to a recent date numbered about
one-half million
In Holland the scientific side of
the alcohol question is being taken
up actively by professional men and
educators and the findings of the al
cohol experts from Amsterdam and
other Dutch cities as shown before the
anti-alcohol congresses are bound to
produce marked results in favor of
temperance in the lowland provinces.
Whether or not the astute deduction
of Goldsmith with regard to the re-
lation between the condition of certain
Dutch cities and the number of ale
houses located In them will hold good
at the present time it Is certain that
Immediately coming years will show a
marked improvement in Holland.
"In the towns and countries have
seen,' said traveller and observant
author, Il never saw a city or village
yet, where miseries were not In pro-
portion to the number Of its public
houses, In Rotterdam, you may go
through eight or ten streets without
finding a public house. In Antwerp,
almost every second house seems an
ale house. In the one city, all wears
the appearance of happiness and warm
affluence; in the other, the young fel-
lows walk about the streets II shabby

There's boy in the strawberry
bed!"
Next to the Widow Fenwick's coun-
try house was the cottage of Mr..
Davis, and between the two was
large strawberry bed. This summer
the Davis family was away among
relatives in the west, and before going
1t was understood that the yield of
that strawberry bed was to go to the
Fenwicks for the picking. Miss Nellie
Fenwick had pushed her way through
the bushes more than once while the
vines were in blossom to weed the
grass and dead vines.
The bad boy of the village had
come with the first berries. He had
come to eat his fill, but Mollie, the
Fenwick cook, had given the alarm
and Miss Nellie had rushed out. She
was no sprinter to overtake bare
footed boy, and her voice was too
gentle to frighten him. She had,
therefore, thrown stones at him from
behind a screen of bushes She could
equal him at that. She had dropped
the first under his nose, taken his cap
off with the second, and with the third
she had sent him away bowling.
The boy had returned next day and
the next. He had seen the girl In the
act of throwing. He had been taught
to believe that no girl ever born could
hit a haystack 20 feet away with
stone. He had been hit, but he laid
1t to accident. He was hit again, and
again he howled and fled, but he
would not believe until after the third
trial Then he got missile on the
ear and retreated to find safer plum
der" Four days had passed when the
cook came running in to give the
alarm. She had caught sight Of an
other trespasser. She couldn't throw
for shucks herself, and it was her duty
to report to one who could.
Back again, is he?" exclaimed the
girl, as she started up. Nov, then,
you gather whole apronful of stones
and I'll show him that I'm in earn

When Miss Nellie reached the
bushes and carefully peeped over, she

mixes his ''four LOTS with the rest of

ly salcablc, etc" each and AL of the
above lots were, according to the deeds
on record, sold at the uniform price OF
5lOO which if correct gave the plat
owners $1,000, though as Mr.Laxdal says
"being remote from the city" land to be
specific, the nearest lots to the ''double
cross" corner of Cavalier are about a
quarter mile distant and the farther
blocks are one-third of mile away
from the same business center.) 1t
does look rather strange that certain
CITIZENS of Cavalier most, if not all of
whom, were noted at that time as coun-
ty seat boomers and most of them COM
mlttee men, should be willing to pay
such prices for lots which Mr.. L. deems
so worthless; and stranger still that
Messrs Laxdal d Rrynjolfson should be
willing as honest men to gull and take
In their simple hearted citizens in such
dishonest way. That the lots are
"not really saleable" we can easily be-
lieve as the records show that but only
few of them have changed ownership
since that time in the ides of March,
when the big sale of just two. thirds of
the whole was made.
Fifth, it would appear by the records
that Messrs Brynjolfson L. Laxdal later
in December of the same year, made
another good sale of this land that is
partially tan old bed of the Pembina
river" by deciding the two blocks two
and three or "the Public Park" to Fred
Farrow for s40O on Dec. 10th of the
same year, VIII ch totals $1,000 for B. e. L,
sales, and Fred, whom every ybody knows
to be big hearted and public spirited
citizen sold 1t to the city of Cavalier Tor
the same price he gave for 1t on Dec.
9th thereafter. So, while Messrs Bryn-
jolfson & Laxdal may not have room for
a court house on their remaining lots
it is quite evident that the city of
Cavalier has about six acres of land
8 lch as it is, that would be available.
though we admit we hardly can see at
this distance whether it was SO valuable
as to be worth e4O0 or whether it is
a worthless piece OF bottom land of no
value except for the timber which
shelters the city. The reader may
MAKE his own conclusions-or ask Mr..
Laxdal.

University of Virginia, Nov. %.
In the position of the University of
Virginia at the head of American in
of learning, President Ed
win A. Alderman, its executive head,
is taking considerable pride. Last
week there assembled in Madison Hall
at Charlottesville the most august
association of learned men in the
country, and although Virginia is the
youngest member of the union, and
the only member south of the Poto-
mac, she was elected President. The
University of Illinois was chosen vice
president, and Missouri and Colum-
bia constitute the executive commit
tee. Virginia has always held the
front rank among Universities of the
South, and her choice as leader of
colleges of the country is an appre-
citation of her Importance in larger
field.
Last Tuesdays elections carried
into Office many Virginia alumni all
over the country. The returns have
not been tabulated yet, but the fol-
lowing five congressman from Vir.
ginia are graduates: Messrs. Hay,
Flood, w. A. Jones, E. f. Holland
and Saunders. 1t is alarming, tn,
claim many universities are setting
up as the alma mater of Woodrow
Wilson, governor elect of New Jer
sey. The scholar stateman is b. A
Of Johns Hopkins and bachelor o
Law from Virginia. In the last Con
gress Virginia had more representa-
tives than any other university: 81:
senators and thirteen representa-
tives. Senators Swanson and Marti
are alumni, and Governor Mann.
