legislative Timber.

There is just about as much polit'
zeal wisdom packed into the follow
ing paragraph from the Wilmington
Star as in anything we have come
across lately. Our people should
make it a rule to send no man to
the Legislature unless he stands for
definite principles for State and
county upbuilding. As The Star
says:
When q man wants to 60 to the
Legislature he ought to want to &c
to do something for the people, in.
stead of something for himself. A
man who does not know what he
wants to do or does not know what
he ought to do when>he goes to the
Legislature. generally does what
the crowd wants him to do. That
means that sometimes he does things
he ought not to. A man who has
no programme of his own is gener.
ally persuaded to take a minor part
in the programme of some other
fellow. THE Pregressvie Farmer

Losses By Pulling Fodder.

Someone has just sent me copy

scription, | am taking the liberty
of writing you to tell you how much

have had the management of
more than 80 farms during the last
10 years, and have worked most
earnestly to induce our farmers to
cease pulling fodder. In the ab-
sence of exact data | assured them
that they were losing at least 25
per cent of the real value of the
corn by pulling fodder at time
when the fodder would be of any
value, and am glad to say that a
number of them have taken heed of
my suggestions.
One North Carolina man stuck
out against me for number of years,
but finally induced him to leave a
portion of the corn untouched and,
as fortune would have it, l entered
his field when he was gathering his
corn from the portion from which
the fodder had been pulled. ask
ed him to examine that corn care
fully and then walk with me into
the portion where the fodder had.
not been pulled and where the crop
Itself was much inferior. (He pull
ed the fodder from bis best crop.
After examination he gave in and
assured me he would never again

selves at home and don't bother about me.
The guests made themselves at home,
pondering their hosts words. Then they
went out, hoping that they might find some
game; but, though they did not see any,
fortune favored them otherwise An Indian
trapper, with three ptarmgans over his
shoulder, was making his way down a win
ter trail The two men undertook to procure
the birds; but the only chance was to gam
bic for them, and they suggested game. The
Indian acquesced, and lost two of the birds.
The two men returned to the houseboat,
cleaned one of the birds, broiled it, and
offered it to the disconsolate, fresh-meat-
hungry man. No magic potion could have
changed him as the taste of game. The
first mouthfuls revived him, and the next
day he was new man. Fresh meat had
saved him, where the lack of it, he felt sure,
was going to kill him.
That illustrates how the mind, more than
anything else, determines results in life. And
in Alaska, where privation may have to be
undergone, such examples would be frequent
indeed unless one is determined to do with
out everything except what is obtainable.
And for those who can fight man, beast,
or element there can be no defeat and no
ennui in the everchanging panorama OF
Alaska Territory Distances are forgotten,
and the seeker for fortune or just home and
independence will be filled with enthusiasm.

YVONNE
Continued from page 7

and trimmed with broad bands of velvet,
Just as he liked best, had been ready long
time She took him back to her pure heart,
without word, without question. He had
been long in coming; but he had come at
last, and she was utterly content. He drew
her into his strong embrace, and she laid her
head on his great shoulder with the sigh of
a child that is weary with too much bliss.
His arm encircled her; both her hands,
clasped together, rested in his large palm.
Sleep came to her, and peace; even the
breath that at first had fluttered fitfully be-
,neath his cheek could be felt no more.
And the night wore on apace, and the
glamour fell from him little by little, and
he was again the landlord of the Chinese
Cider Cellars, with scolding wife, and an
obstinate whelp of a son, mad to marry
penniless little draggletail. Ay, he could
speak now, and he would! He unwound his
arm from the waist of Yvonne, and with
drew the support of his rough palm from
her clasped hands, and as he did so a long,
faint sigh escaped her, and her head fell
back against the whitewashed wall. Ay, he
could speak, and what he would say would
be like this!
ORD knows what nonsense we have been
- talking, you and me. Something be-
the old place. In truth, Yvonne, you know
as well as | do that I'm a married man:
that cat must ha got out of the bag long
ago. And hearing that you never would
believe I'd played fast and loose with ye
made me bit shamefaced; hence we never
have clapped eyes on one another until
now, Yvonne. Though my young cub has
been hanging about here after the girl Gaud,
threatening me with going to sea if she's
denied him; and seeing as she hasn't 4 sou
of dowry, look to you to stop that foolery.
For my good woman at home I'll own
her bit of Tartar, and, to tell we the truth,
Yvonne-"
"Fatherl" said Jean Marie, stepping for
ward out of the darkness, the dinly seen,
shrinking figure of Gaud behind him.
Yam rose up, threatening and forrnida-
BILE, his clenched fist ready to strike. Gaud
cried out in fear; but Yvonne, the silvery
moonlight filling the hollows of her quiet
eyes and resting in the curves of her white
cheeks, and kissing her closed, patient lips
into the semblance of a smile, never stirred.
The night wind played with a little lock of
hair escaping from the edge of her she'll
iuted cap, and her bosom neitherrose nor fell.
i "Pretty goings on Look here, you cub!'
Yam was beginning but his sons eyes
looked past his at the placid face of the
sleeper on the bench, and the fear and awe
in them were not inspired by his father.
Yam looked round then, and hoarse cry
broke from him.
"Speak to her!" whispered Jean Marie,
and Gaud trernblingly touched Yvonne's
claspcd hands. They were cold as the smil
ing lips and the sealed eyes on which rested
the white peace that is the kiss of Death.
The cricket chirped within the cottage,
and the deep, slumberous breathing of the
&c
mist. Yvonne's long time of waiting had
ended at last.

Politics and Prohibition.

The vote in the House of Representatives last
week, showing a majority of that body in favor
of prohibition, is straw which indicates that ere
long the liquor problem may be injected into ma
tional politics.
If ever the liquor traffic is made political
issue in this country that result will have to be
accomplished through a declaration made by one
of the old parties. Experience has demonstrated
that third party with prohibition as the sole ex-
cuse for its existence cannot make any progress.
The Prohibition party has been trying ever since
1860 to gain foothold in the United States and
yet today it cannot poll over 100000 votes While
the sentiment for temperance has undoubtedly in
creased the Prohibition party, as organization,
has dwindled It nominates its candidates for
President and Vice President and makes per-
functory campaign without the slightest hope of
success.
1t may be different however, if either the DEM
ocratic or the Republican party should decide to
make an appeal to the country to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquor. The prediction is
already made that an effort to commit these two
great parties to declaration on the subject will
be made Syvhen the conventions meet in 1916 If
This prophecy should be realized the outcome will

Street Car improvements.

Ventilation of street cars is receiving special
attention. An extended series of tests has been
started and will be carried on throughout the win
ter to determine the efficiency of different systems
of ventilation in use. Tests are made by taking
samples of the air in cars of different types TO de-
termine the number of parts of carbon dioxide in
10000 parts of air, which is the accepted method
of testing the efficiency and rate of ventilation.
There is some doubt, however, to whether this
will convince the travelling public, who, as usual
thing cannot be convinced that car is we'll ven
tilated unless they see some direct opening to
the outer air, Many complaints are received IN re-
gard to the center-entTance cars which are the
most scientifically ventilated cars
In connection with the accident work, inveStI-
cation made regarding the danger to men
working high-tension lines and apparatus. AS
result of this study, an order was drawn and
adopted by the commission requiring certain prac-
tices to safeguard the employees in this line of work
An order was also issued requiring the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company
which operates with high-tension overhead troll
ley system, to prohibit their trainmen from mount
ing to the tops of cars or locomotives at points
where the trolley wire is less than 81 feet inches
above the top of the rail At such points they are
required to erect signs which are Illuminated by
night indicating that the wire IS low.
Since the adoption of steel wheels on surface
cars many complaints have been received regard
ing the screeching caused by the application OF
brakes. Special devices were experimental with
in an endeavor to eliminate this annoyance. but
as the companies did not show an intention of
adopting such device generally, it was recon-
mended to the commission, after observations and
careful consideration. that order be passed re-
quiring all companies using steel wheels to adopt
some device to reduce this noise. Most OF the
companies affected have already submitted for ap-
proval brake shoe containing asphaltum in
sert, which, it is found gives just enough lubri-
cation on the fanges OF the wheels to prevent this
screeching without interfering with the braking
efhciency.-William c. Winston in the Public Serv-
ice Record.

A Pan-Ameriean Pound.

In Latin America the pound sterling is the
standard of exchange and trade is largely modi-
fed by foreign money standards. A proposal has
been brought forward that the republics of the
Pan-American Union-that is, the Latin-American
countries and the United States-should join in
the coinage of S. gold piece having on one side
uniform design and on the reverse the design of
the issuing government This coin would have the
same intrinsic value everywhere, would pass cur
rent everywhere and would, it is predicted, aid in
the natural and logical development Of the Pan
American commerce and trade. 1t is figured that
the new coin would naturally displace the pound
sterling as a standard. This proposal might prop
erly be taken up by the Pan-American Congress,
soon to meet in Santiago, Chile Action taken there
would do much to insure the success of what seems
to be a sensible and legitimate project and one
that would tend to a closer trade union of this

probably be sde-stepping on the part OF the dele
gates. They will probably adopt resolution COM
mending temperance as wise and proper but sug-
gesting that each community should make its own
decision as to the best method of handling the
liquor traffic An out-and-out declaration does not
seem likely within the next year or two. There
is possibility however. that in course Of time the
liquor question may become acute as the slavery
Issue before the war. 1t took half a century OF
agitation on the part of the aboltonists to impress
their views upon the country. If the prohibition
lists keep eternally at il they seem inclined to
do, they may make their pet issue supersede all
others.
The total annual consumption Of wines and
liquors in this country aggregates over zooooooooo
gallons. The amount of capital invested in the
plants which produce this enormous quantity is
nigh unto $I.oooooo.ooo figure beyond ordinary
comprehension. This capital is not to be wiped
out of existence without struggle. 1t has already
been engaged in some contests, notably during the
summer and fall in the State of Ohio. The out
look is, however that the fight viii eventually be
fought upon a nationwide basis. The man who
asserted that the vote in the House last Tuesday
settled the question of national prohibition in this
country cannot read the signs of the times. The
vote in the House was but the skirmish of great
battle.
The statements winch have been made that the
District of Columbia is to be made an experimental
ground for national prohibition are not without
foundation. The prohibitionists see in the District
an opportunity to achieve a victory which would
have a moral effect upon the country. They are
anxious also prove that in territory exclusively
under Federal jurisdiction the power of the ma
tional government will make legal prohibition an
actual prohibition In addition to all this, it is
perfectly natural to use the District football
We already have Kenyon law for the suppress
sion of immortality and eight-hour law for fe-
males and favorable report on a municipal owner
ship bill. Why, then, should members hesitate
to try out upon theHDistrict people the experiment
of prohibition under the auspices of the Federal
government?
The District has been free from politics for
over forty years, but if prohibition law should
be passed the suffrage would be given an
impetus not to be overcome.
