ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE RESULT IN THIS STATE:-Fol-
lowing in the wake of other States, a
large majority of the people of Wiscon'
sin, on the 3rd inst, declared against
the principles of the Democratic party,
and in favor of the hereies of the party
in power. There is no use in mourning
over our defeat the people themselves
will have to bear the good or evil oi
their own acts. Time will tell which.
We are defeated. What shall Demo.
Gratis do? We rephy.do as you have al.
ways done. Act like patriotic men,
Stand to your,coors, and abide the re-
suit. You have done what honest and
brave men could do, to maintain justice
and preserve the government of your
country, as your fathers have made it.
| Our principles are invincible, so long
as there is one ray of hope left for hui
man liberty and American self-govern.
ment To abandon these principles
now, or the organization which has SC
long borne them in triumph, would be
impolitic. We must indeed be dastards
if, after so many triumpbs, our courage
should falter before these defeats. Let
our devotion extort the salty of our
country, the perpctuity of our Union,
the integrity of the Constitution, and
the liberty of our race.
Democrats, you are beaten, but not
conquered! Your enemy was strong in
opposition alone. Their triumph is the
signal of their dissolution. The Aboi'
tion party is only held together by op.
position to the friends of the country.
1t is composed Of two distinct andheter-
ogenous elements. In its triumph these
elements must and will fall apart. The
period of its death is fixed by the
achievement of its victory. You have
but to stand to your arms, and witness
them perish forever from the inherent
vices of their organization, and their
false and hollow dogmas fade away like
a vision of the night.
Democrats, prepare for the great bat
tie of 1864. The Union will never be res
tored by the present Administration.
1t is the great Democratic party of the
country which will once more give us
an unbroken Constitution, and per.
feet and solid Union Trust in the
Lord, and keep your powder dry. "The
sober, second thought of the people"
will soon regain its natural sway.

The Faith of a Great Judge.

A memorial service held for the late
Justice Harlan at Lexington, Kentucky,
brought together many men who had
known him long before his elevation TO
the Supreme bench. One OF these men
told a story OF the conference that was
held in Judge Harlan's Office in Louis
vile to prepare the way for his nomina-
ton as Governor OF Kentucky. II was
the day before the convention.
Toward The close OF the afternoon Judge
Harlan said TO his political friends, Gen
tlemen, the office will be open this even
ing, aud you are at liberty 10 use it tasyou
think best. shall not be here. This is
prayer meeting night. make it a point
never TO miss my prayer-meeting when
am at home"
His friends were surprised. The buSi-
ness surely was of sufficient importance
to justify the omission OF single prayer
meeting.
Something like this the men said to
each other at first, and yet, on second
thought, they agreed that man whose
religious life was so earnest and genuine
deserved more tnah ever their trust and
loyalty.
The man who told the story did not
himself 90 back to the conference, but
went TO the prayer meeting instead, and
there found Judge Harlan in the chair,
leading the meeting in the absence OF the
pastor.
1t is not the purpose OF this story TO
show what eife t, il any, his attendance
al the prayer-meeting had upon his poilt-
ical career. Men sometimes gain and
sometimes lose, in business and in poll
tics, through adherence TO their princi-
pies, and the man who values his princi-
pies chiefly because Of what they may
gain for him has learned but little OF the
real value Of the religious life. Whatev-
er be the material results of his action,
the man who is faithful 10 his convictions
has, first of all, the approval OF his own
conscience, and then the approval OF the
best and most honorable OF his fellow
men.

Incorrigible.

Day by day, as Mrs. Worth'S house.
hold and kitchen furniture and groceries
slowly disappeared, she saw that the
moment approached when final stand
must be made. One morning, when Jun
my, son OF the borrower, appeared at the
back door with the statement, "Ma wants
the wash boiler" Mrs. Worth determined
TO act
"You tell your ma that when she brings
back what she has already borrowed, |
will lend her the boiler"
In little while Jimmy reappeared.
"Ma wants 10 know what she has bor-
rowed."
"There is quart OF flour," began Mrs.
Worth, ''a peck of potatoes, a cup OF
sugar. a can of coffee. half-pound Of
lard. some onions, and butter and spices;
the screw driver, The hatchet, pair OF
scissors she paused, recollecting,-
"three spools Of thread, paper OF need
les and"
But Jimmy was gone. Presently he
raped on the back door again.
"Ma says for you TO write 'em down.
forgot some of EN-"
Mrs. Worth sat down with pencil and
patiently made an alphabetical list of all
the articles she could remember.
Jimmy took the list and disappeared.
A half hour later he once more appeared
at the back door, and announced:
"Ma says if you'll lend her the wash
boiler to carry them in, she'll bring 'em
home"

Seeing Results.

Old Deacon Browns zeal for the cause
of foreign missions was so well-known
in Boxboro that it was often mentioned
with a smile. However, the smile was
always affectionate and sympathetic, for
every one in town loved the good old
man and respected his pious enthusiasms.
Once, indeed, when he was asking for
money to help struggling church tar
away in Sweden, Mrs. Foster, who was
one of his staunchest friends, said to him:
"Do you really think it is wise to scat
ter our means quite so far abroad 2
Wouldn't il be more judiciouS TO use this
money at home, where we can ourselves
Judge of the need and see the results OF
our sacrifice ?"
"You can see the results in your own
heart" returned the old man, 'in the
peace and Joy that work Tor the good
cause will give you. There are results
in the mission field, too, but the Lord
will look out for them. When | think OF
the self. denying Christian work this pas
tor, Max Shepper, is doing in that dis
lant corner of Sweden, il warns my heart
10 know that can be OF little help to
so good man."
"Wel, here is dollar" said Mrs.
Foster. "Mind. do not give it grudg-
ingly, but ii is satisfying 10 see for your
self The results OF your giving"
A year or two later Mr.. and Mrs. Fos-
Ter moved West, and settled in little
frontier village that was without any
church or Sunday school. One OF their
neighbors told them, however, OF little
Swedish church four miles up the creek,
and promised TO show them the way
thnher. so the next Sunday morning
the two mothers and their children fol-
flowed the trail through the buftaio-grass
to the little Swedish settlement.
They were made very welcome. "You
were right 10 come," said one OF the
women, in her broken English. "ln

help came to us, much OF il in money,
from tar away America, and now here
you come, with your singing voice and
your good works. Gospel seed once
started always grows That was what
our dear pastor, Max Sheppert, often told
us in Sweden, and he bade US TO start
right when we found home over here. "
MAX Sheppertl" cried Mrs. Foster,
remembering that was the name OF the
| Swedish minister old Deacon Brown had
told her OF. And | asked 10 see re-
suits |"
The results were greater than she
could have asked for. All through the
long, hard winter, in sickness and in pri-
valion, these kind, faithful SwedeS stood
generously by the Foster family, as If
they felt personally responsible for' their
welfare. Surely those who give for the
Lords work in spirit OF love know not
where or how they shall reap the fruits
of their giving.

She says that II she were to be sick In
the same way again she would GER

persist In such foolishness there ought
to be law to prevent them"
I ventured to interpose question.
You say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does It make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?"
"Well, don't know that 1t makes any
difference, but 1t is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though 1t
does cure them," he said.
replied. "Why, cannot ex-
actly un derstand that. Alcohol

nine or morphin. II alcohol cures

he persisted. "Now, was sick. had

Now, If my mother had used some
remedy like that It would be all right.
But to persist In using some secret
remedy like Peruna, think It is out

Again ventured to ask some ques-
tions. I asked: what do you sup

fected the cure?"

Modern Heroism.

MIR. Robert Cheviot was a hero-wor-
shipper. He read everything he could find
about the great hunters, explorers and
adventurers OF the world.
He was fond of talking about heroism
and commencing il to others. He was
often heard TO say. "There are no heroes
nowadays TO compare with those OF the
older times. The dying out OF war is
calamity. We need war now and then
to revive the courage OF the race"
Mr.. CheviotS pastor used TO argue
good -naturedly with him on this matter,
and finally challenged him to do certain
number of things that would call for as
much real courage IS any soldier or ad-
venturer had ever shown.
Mr.. Cheviot accepted the challenge
somewhat scornfuly, and the minister,
who knew him well, sent him the follow
ing list of tasks TO perform, and len It to
his parishioner to be the judge of the
heroism required TO do any one OF them:
/. Adopt the Bib ical tithing system,
and give one-tenth OF your income 10
religious work. That will be about ten
times what you are giving now.
2. Give up Tobacco II is habit that
does you no 60 d, and is bad example
to your own boy.
3. Never lose your temper when dis
cussing matters of dress with your wife,
or talking politics with your neighoor.
a. Share the morning paper with your
wife, or let her read il first.
5. Begin and maintain regular family
worship.
6. Pay the men you employ living
wages-a thing you are not doing at
present.
When Mr.. Robert Cheviot read this
list, his first impulse was TO write his
pastor an angry letter, but on reflection,
his anger vanished.
"Your list" he finally wrote, Convict
ed me OF cowardice. have been wor-
shipping the wrong kind of heroiSm. III

A Plague OF Rabbits.

Australia is still suffering from plague

bunnies is effecfuaI only in checking their
spread, tor they breed so rapidly hat ex
termination seems impossible Stock
rsisers are wire-netting their properties.

helping by selling wire netting at nominal
price. In the hot districts they are pois-

Notwithstanding all The trapping. pois-
oning, iumigaling, fencing and digging
out. the pest is spreading.
Eight or ten rabbits eat or destroy as
much grass as one sheep. As there are
many millions OF rabbits the loss is sp-
palllng.
Evidence of the way the rabbits are
being slaughtered is The fact thst from
New South Wales alone 5.7l8 800 pounds
of their skins were exported in 1911,
5 565O.OOO pounds in 1910. and 3,135, coo

Having a little business in one OF
the federal offices OF the city, after 1t
was finished I fell in conversation with
runa- ] mention his business to show
that the conversation was conducted
with a man of more than ordinary in
telligence, being a employe Of the gov
eminent who had passed through sew
eral civil service examinations. He
said TO me, not knowing who I was:
81 think a great deal Of this patent
medicine business ought to be stopped
Especially such remedies as Peruna.
Peruna, as you know, is stimulant
and contains eighteen or twenty per
cent. Of alcohol. People take 1t without
knowing what 1t is, and such remedies
ought to be prohibited by law. My
own mother took Peruna once. She had
cough, night sweats, was growing
emaciated and weak. Several doctors
examined her. The opinion was ex-
pressed several times that she was
going into consumption. One thought
II was chronic bronchitis. At any rate,
her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doc
tors she consulted, although she took
their medicines faithfully for nearly a
year. Some one told her about Perunao
and against my wish and against the
wishes Of our family, she began taking
II. At once she improved, and in less
than six months she apparently was
we'll. We did all we could to discour-
age her in taking Peruna, but she per-
sisted 1t finally came cut in the mag
azines that Peruna contained alcohol.
Then we knew at once what it was
that benefited my mother, it was sim
ply the alcohol that Peruna contained.
We had the laugh on mother. We have
not ceased to make fun Of her yet about
her being cured with dilution Of alco-
hoL She seems to be embarrassed by
