fist in the face of good government.
We have created government and
have invested it with the power to
debauch it's creators. What we, as
individuals, consider it morally
wrong to do, this government does
not We must not carry and sell
liquors, but the government which we
have created may do so. We create a
government and invest it with the
power to impoverish and kill by dis
pensing alcoholic drinks and hold our
selves to be guiltless in the matter.
ut" does it, we do not. But this is
our creation. 1t is impersonal. Are
not we the creators responsible for
what we create? God will never
judge government as such, but he
will judge those who are response
bic for it's creation and administra-
ton. That creature, the dispensary,
is doing its dealy work. Is it guilty
No, let it's crimes be crahged to those
who by their ballot brought it into
existence. Their bloody ballots will
meet them in the day when Divine
justice shall be the standard of judg-
ment. Moreover, we not only create
a government in vesting it with such
iniquitious power, but we congratu-
late ourselves that we get the profits.
Our creature, the government, takes
the privilege of plunder from the in
dividual, and hands it out to us, and
we congratulate ourselves on our sa-
gacity, and our innocence. Verify,
there is guilt, and this guilt rests
upon the perpetrators who do the
deeds through governmental proxy.
Judgment awaits. "What shall the
harvest be?"

EASTER is MARCH 23RD;
EARLIEST IN 81 YEARS.
But it Will be the Year zoos Before
Easter Day Comes SO Early as
March 23rd Again-It has Been
Known to Come as Late as April
25th.-Last Time it Came SO Late
as This was in 18S6-Will Come
This Late Again in Year 1943.

Easter Day comes this year on
March 23rd-the earliest it has oc-
Cured since the year 1856. And not
until the year zoos will Easter Day
come again as early as March 23rd.
In other words, it has been 81 years
since Easter Day came as early as
March 23rd; and not until 95 years
have rolled away will it come so ear
ly again.
A great many things have happen
ed since last Easter Day came so
early; what will have happened
when it comes so early again? 1t
is possible to know what has taken
place during the 81 years that are
past, but as for the 95 years to come
that is closed book.
Lent begins this year on February
9TH, and this is the earliest coming
of Ash Wednesday and Easter Day
between now and the end of this
century. Easter Day is always the
first Sunday after the full moon
happens upon or next after the twen-
ty-first day of March. If the full
moon happens upon Sunday Easter
Day is the Sunday after.
1t is also interesting to note how
late in the year Easter Day has oc-
Cured and will occur. In 1886 it
occurred as late as April 25th, and
this is the latest it has occurred since
that time. It will not come so late
as April 25th, again until the year

A WORD WITH WOMEN.
Valuable Advice for Union Readers.

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of backache
pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells. dizziness and urinary disor-
ders, hopeless of relief because she
doesn't know what is the matter.
1t Is not true that every pain in
the back or hips is trouble peculiar
to the sex" Often when the kidneys
get congested and inf1amed, such
aches and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble
if the secretions are dark colored,
contain sediment; the passages are
too frequent or scanty. Then help the
weakened kidneys. Don't expect them
to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed at home-Read this I'm
ion woman's statement:
Mrs. Alice Ingram, IL N. Herndon
ST., Union, S. c., says: "I suffered
from backache and weak kidneys and
l got Doan's Kidney Pills from the
Palmetto Drug Co. They did me a
world of good and 1 am therefore,
pleased to recommend them to every
one who has kidney trouble"

Man Loses $4,000 on Loaded Dice

Man Loses $4,000 on Loaded Dice.
Atlanta, Jan. 14.-According to
Andrew Nolan, a prominent circus
man, who has been spending his
winters in Atlanta for many years,
it has cost him exactly $4,000 to find
out that there were a couple of lead
en- pills in pair of innocent looking
dice with which he has been shooting
craps with supposed friends for three
easons past.
The police have the dice now, and
they are sure enough loaded. John
Walters, of 81 Fairlie street, an At
lanta business man, is under arrest
as the alleged crook. He has been
an intimate friend of Nolan's. Nolan
turned up yesterday at police head
quarters with the dice. He said he
had believed himself in the hands of
friends and had lost $4,000 before
it ever occurred to him that he was
up against frame-up game.

None of Our Business, But

Little girl, with
Hobble skirt,
Mag or Mabel,
Min or Mert,
Going blithly
Down the street,
I must say your
Little feet
From your skirt
So tight about
Your slim limbs
Steal in and out
(And not meaning
Any 'slams)
Like to canvas
Covered hams.
Still l must say,
Mag or Myrt,
I believe the
Hobble skirt,
Well out of the
Dust where germs
Do their double
Twists and squirms,
Is the proper thing,
All right,
If it's not too
Doggone tight;
Cut the thing
A trifle loose,
So our legs will
Be of use.
Then each foot
Won't look as large
AS a loaded
Cotton barge.
Your tight hobble
Is a shame,
But we love you
Just the same.

Miles CITY Opens
Wild west FETE
THREE-DAY CELEBRATION TO
MARK ANNIVERSARY OF cow
COUNTRY METROPOLIS.

Miles City, Mont, July 5.-Old-time
scouts, freighters, Indians and cow
boys are gathered in Miles City, taking
part in the big roundup of three days,
concentrating the thirty-first an
niversary of the founding of Miles
City upon its present site.
In the fall of 1876, after the battle
Of h Little Big Horn, where Custer
lost his life, Gen. Nelson A. Miles
was sent here with troops and estab-
lished Fort Geogh, near the mouth of
Tongue river, which empties into the
Yellowstone. Miles City was located
just one mile below it's present site,
but two years later was moved to the
point it now occupies.
For years this old hunting ground of
the Indians has been known as the
heart of the cow country" and, in
his thousands f1ocks here. But the
h~onyocker, with Unsuitable land hun
ger, has succeeded them all, and the
few old-timers remaining deemed it
int to hold one big celebration and for
the last time fill the air with the
smoke Of the sixshooter and cries OF
Powder river" the slogan for years
past Of the cow-puncher who happen
ed to be filled with good cheer.
Gov. Sam v. Stewart, wearing
CHAPS" sombrero, spurs and six
SuopleLI anu mounted on a handsome
white "bronc," will lead the parade,
followed by Capt. Tot Mclean, with
her $50 cowgirls.
"Bilr' Mccarthy, owner of the cele-
brated Ranch 101" wild west show,
will be in charge Of the bucking, rop-
ing, b~ulldogging, and other cowboy
and cowgirl events, while the noted
Grow scout and only surviving mem
Der of the luckless Custer expedition,
assisted by Big Medicine. another we'll
known Crow scout Indian reserve, are
on hand with $50 braves.
The Indians will hold sun and grass
dances n other rites, and incidental
ly suggest to the paleface what might
have happened to him a few years
back had he CHANGED along.
Tex McCloud, who won the bucking
contest at Calgary's stampede" last
year, arrived today, and "Wildhorse
Pete" of Miles City, who throws a
steer and holds him down with his
mouth, is on hand to "eat EN- alive"
If necessary.
The best rough riders of the United
States and Canada are to take part in
the various events, and thousands of
persons are already here.

DRESDEN SOCIETY FOR
FREE LEGAL ADVICE.

Vice Consul James T.. A. Burrell.
Dresden, Saxony: The Dresden Society
for Legal Advice to the Public had a
successful and strenuous year in 1912,
as appears from it's annual report. In
the six years Of it's existence it has
been able. in spite of the limited means
at its disposal, to give legal advice to
people in reduced circumstances in
about $4,000 cases. The usefulness Of
this institution can be clearly seen
from the fact that in 1912 official
bodies-royal administrative offices
and courts of justice-havei referred
5000 persons to this bureau for legal
advice. The manager of the bureau
represented parties in fifty-two cases
before the various courts and admin
istrative bodies.
OF great Importance for the further
development Of this institution is the
fact that the Saxon ministry of justice
has decided to permit younger ~jurists
to serve for six months in bureaus of
legal advice for the public veal with
out deducting this period from the
leaves of absence. Although most of
the information given concerns family
matters, rents and insurance law, etc,
the addition of new departments shows
the large field over which such activi-
ty can extend. For instance, a depart
ment for poor inventors and one for
advice in choosing a trade of profes-
sion are to be created. The necessity
of such bureaus for legal advice to
those who are poor and unlearned in
the law is clearly demonstrated by
their number and activity.
In the German empire in 1911, $50
such bureaus gave advice in 1883, SAC
cases and prepared 436,237 written
communications. During the past year
113 state and m1nicinaI hureauc and
Twenty-Five supported by associations
for the common welfare reported to
the imperial statistical office. Others
have been founded by tra~des-unions
Catholic and Protestant organizations
agricultural associations, etc. Such
institutions are also increasing In
Switzerland, England, Hungary and
particularly in Denmark, and many OF
them have entered into correspondence
with the German bureaus with a view
to mutual support and exchange OF
ideas.
