The aim Of thr Illinois law is to
provide proper support for those
who are dependent on the State
but at the same time to provide
this support in a way that does not
make the recipient feel the sting
Of charity and give a feeling of
confidence rather than one Of de-
%pendence.
1t is not mandatory, but any
county in the State is free to adopt
this plan. Six counties have
Already availed themselves Of the
privileges Of the law and others
arc preparing to follow suit. If
the results are as satisfactory as
it is hoped they will be, other
States will no doubt emulate the
example of Illinois.
If this is done the poorhousc
will soon become a thing of the
past.
The history Of the poorhouse in
America and England is one Of
the most depressing character.
Its squalor, its accumulation of
misery, its petty tyranny, its
periodical scandals are all sources,
of regret. Prison is not so bad as
many Of the poorhouses of the
country. and the sin and sorrow
ard slothfulncss are never so
keenly realized as in these insti.
buttons. The new way of handling
the poor, proposed in the Illinois
law makes the diff erenco. New
advantages are offered. Poor
mothers will be pensioned. and
will take care Of tb.:: children,
instead Of having TO send them
to an institution. II costs the
State and the county so much now
to support every inmate in the
poorhouse. Under the new system
the amount is paid direct to the
pauper and furnishes means Of
support. 1t enables each to care
for the family as we'll. II trans.
forms the pauper to q paid en-
ployec Of socisty.-Exchange.

PASSING OF THE POORHOUSE

In Illinois The poorhouse is being
abolished. 1t is time. II is q dread
reminder Of tie past. Like the
debtors prison, it is associated
with some Of the saddest scenes in
the worlds latter day history.
The poorhouse was once re.
garded as necessary. II has been
the theme of many tragic stories
and has been the text of many
sad songs.
The poor are with us always.
They are to be found on every
hand. II is the duty Of the State
to care for those who cannot care
for themselves, and tie cloak Of
charity should be gently spread
about all who suffer from want and
adversely.
Meth DDS Of providing for the
poor have changed in the late
years. The time when the needy
are TO be cared for 10 the poor.
house is near an end. There are
other ways and means now, and
they are far more practicable and
considcrate. They are more efret-
i've and more humane.

THE COURTING GAME

Counting is a pleasing pastime,
That | know and so do you:
Every person wants a hand;
II permitted will take two.
'Tis the oldest game ! know Of,
And the best ever played:
Been the fashion since creation,
Ever since the world was made.
At this game age is M limit,
One can play with all his might.
And may court on all occasions,
But do best Of all by night.
That's the hour when Cupid's busy,
II is then he's at his best;
He'll work and never grumble,
And wont ask a moments rest.
Some folks say they don't enjoy IT,.
And can't quite keep up the pace:
II that's true, then they are dead
ones.
And the Churchyard is their
place.
IL is time TO get a going.
You can't start the game too soon;
Anyone who doesn't like il.
Has not even learned to spoon.

EUREKA 8 PALISADE RAILROAD

The Palisade correspondent OF
the Eureka Sentinel gives the
following account of the progress
made in rebuilding the Eureka
& Palisade railroad:
The warm, halmy weather that
has prevailed during most of the
week here and through Pine valley
has done wonders in bringing the
frost out of the ground and assist
ing the grading forces in their
work on the railroad. Con-
sidering the small force at work
about so men-good progres.
has been made by the men engaged
near the J. P Raine ranch in grad
ing the new right-of-way in the
foothills on the East side Of the
valley.
With another week of good
thaWing weather the frost will be
out of the ground sufficiently TO
permit the scrapers to do good
work. and the finishing up Of this
grade can be put through in short
order.
Another grading gang is n
gagged in making a ill mar the
Hay Ranch, all the contractors
force now being concentrated at
these two points.

to the time they will have the road

AGRICULTURAL. IN SOUTHERN
