lAx1 lessun that a man should pawse l1D and considur carefully each move
 that he makes before making it, and then deside not to make it, been moor urgintly impressed upon me than rite at this time In a momint of the rashest folly concluded that would cum ovver to Mos kow. becawse theere has been so much sed of Moskow. and 1t has cut so much Ise in this war as it cut in the war between Franse and Rushia when Napolion was redusing the populasion of Urope. Without giving the mattur dew consideration I went rite off under an impulse and landed in Moskow togethur with cold wave that would make Alasker seem like summer resort. Mos kow is as cold as Wall street is to an aspir- ing book agint selling the ''Life and Deeds of Wilyum J. Bryan" in six vollums, one dollar down and dollar week. Moskow is about as warm as sufferagett conven- sion listening to an address frum Thomas J. Heffling. A total strangur like myself in a prohibision town like this, landing heer under an impulse and rapped in regrets, feels sumhow that this is to be a long, hard wintur. Newer again shall I jump hastily at conclusions and rush madly off tackling a job that mite as well remain untackled Moskow is froze up titur than organized charity.
 My prinsiple reesun for cumming heer was to interview the Zarr. | thought that a talk with the Zarr by me at this time up on the subject of prohibision would be of vast inturrest. The Zarr lately joined the prohibision party and if enny thing should happen to him, and he looses out in Rushia, he mite figger on emmigrating to the United States and run for pressidint on the prohibision ticket. I was told by prom minint Rushian statesman by the name of Abesky Dillpicklevich that the Zarr had bannished Vodbur frum Rushia with one stroke of his pen, and at one and the same time redused the number of the Gurman invadurs sevverel hundred per sent, thus inspiring his army with confidence. Dill picklevich explained to me that Vodkur was a verry insidius drink when used to excess. He sed when a Rushian soldier solzed his system full of Vodlxur he was far frum being desirabull citizen, and at the same time he began seeing things. When in this condision, he sed, If Gurman sold fer should bob up ovver the horrlzun, the Rushian would mistake him for a hole reg gimint, and regarding discreesion as the bettur part of waller, would flee in a zig gag mannur, leaving behind him his accour- terminus and uther assets, including his kind regards. But, he sed, now it is diffur- rent Deprived of Vodkur, he sed, the Rushian soldier was a diffurent man. A reggimint of Gurmans no longur looked like an army core to him, and he would fase them with stoikal indiffurense. It makes a better fitting man of him, he sed; the Rushian soldier will fite now to finnish, if he gets shot he does not regard it as grate caIlammity, he sed, becawse if he don't he will have to go back and live in a prohbision country aftur the war is ovver

 Over tho pillows toward Destiny's Reef: Struggling alone in q boundless sea. vast and deep as eternity. Night in the sky and a grave beneath, Watery. cold. of depth unknown; Fighting alone in the tempest's teeth, Hearing tho wind of tho nights wild
 moan
 Cheerless and lost in a pit of black, Knowing no course save the tempest's
 track.
 King of the night and the tempest, too! God of the world and the skies above! Where are the once fair skies of blue, The Beacon of Hope on the Shore of
 Love?
 God of the pain-racked souls of men. Guide me into the light again.

respects, New York has a way of echoing a mans success around the world-if you care for that sort of thing.
 And, incidentally, you of the south are supposed to possess personality in more individual instances than is the case in the cold country up here. Do you know it Is actually fad in New York to say, T am of the south?" Fact, and lot of people say it who never feel a thrill when they hear Dixie. The south in- dicates, or suggests, refinement and cul- ture, greater sociability, more senti- ment and a more natural warmth of man. ner. and while they may laugh at you for dropping gs and sighting rs. they realize that no person, of any section, is more sloyenly in his speech than is the average party who has lived his life within hearing of the noises of Broad way. But don't release any of that stun about the ''hot southern temper" and steer cautiously away from the race problem. or New York will make you feel like comic cartoon that has been rejected by the editor.

SECOND NOTE ON
SINKING OF FRYE
y. S. Informs Germany That Payment
for Ship Will Be Accepted
by Country.
by Country.

Washington, April ga second
note from the United States govern
ment to Germany concerning the sink
ing of the American ship William P.
Frye by the commerce raider Prinz
t.itel Friedrich, was dispatched to
Berlin yesterday. 1t is understood to
accept the German proposition to
compensate the owners or the Frye,
under the terms of the old Prussian-
American treaties of 1883 and 1928,
regardless of any prize court decision.
These treaties provide that contraband
belongings to the subjects Of either
PARTY shall not be confiscated by the
other in any case, but may be de-
tanned or used only in consideration
Cf payment of the full value.
While willing to agree to payment
FOR the Frye, as proposed, it Is under
stood the United States stands by it's
original protest against the destruc-
ton Of the ship as a violation of in
ternational law, and again denies that
the cargo of wheat consigned to IL
British port was contra band. No
claim for the cargo was made, be-
cause it was sold enroute to British
dealers.
The American note will be made
public as soon as Ambassador Gerard
gives notice that he had received it's
text, probably next Saturday.

Basket Ball Game Between Two Strong
Rivals at High School Gym.

Do you remember when the "All-
Stars returned from playing trip
a short time ago and re-christened
themselves the "All-Scars. Well part
of the scare were won over at Nezperce
where the boys of that place piled up
a score which wasn't right considering
that our boys were visiting. But Fri
day night the Nezperce boys will in
wade the Grangcville stronghold and
give the local team a chance to win
some glory. One of the fastest games
of the season may be expected as these
are the strongest in the section up here
on the hill. And the boys are feeling
verty fit for the occasion. Anyway any
trophy that the Nezperce team takes
away will be treasured for there is GO
ing to be some hard work on the part
of our town team to get revenge. So
you cannot afford to miss the game

GOVERNMENT ADOPTS STRICT
RULES AND REGULATIONS RE
GARDING SALE OF COCAINE,
OPIUM AND ETC.

In the future it is going to prove a
hard matter for the users of drugs,
such as cocaine, morphine, opium, etc.
to buy the stuff and consequently the
aope fiends brigade should decrease
rapidly. While the federal laws in the
past have been considered strict and
some state regulations were such that
the sale of habit forming drugs was
supposed to be fairly well regulated,
the use of them has become such as to
cause alarm and the seriousness of the
situation has caused the national
government to pass a most stringent
law, which it is believed will put the
drug using habit out of business.
The measure is known as the Harri-
son drug bill and provides for record
of all receipts, sales and ministrations

Importance Of Work.

A negative life Is q wicked life
Someone has said mo angel ever ap
peared to a man who was not at
work" You cannot make man good
by keeping him idle. Il must be about
my Fathers business" said Christ in
the temple. That is the gospel Of ev.
cry man who Is loyal to- his own soul,
Is the, comment Of the Ohio State
JouSual. There is no excuse for tdle'
ness. Work, like virtue, religion, faith,
is from within; The impulse toward
theirighx ID what Keeps asman at work.
andsfif HE is not at work he lacks the
impulse. His religion is too weak to
exert itself, "a positiSse life Is the only
true life. Nor is mere, a1truism the
only form of work. It is as much a
mans duty to help himself as it is to
help others, so-that help Is upbuilding,
which is the very condition Of ones
being a benefit to others. A man who
loves roses, sunsets. stars, creeks,
trees, birds, Is friend of humanity.
Loving Gods beautiful world includes
man, or it is false love. Not to
love these creations Of goodness and
grace denotes a negative life that ia
positively wicked
