Has Made a Good Record and Is Not

Ashamed of It. The t i rade In last week's Jou rna l

against the Lowell Band Is so pal-pa lily fa 'se-and un jus t a s t o s t a m p the « riter a s a fool or a knave. The report of t h e record m a d e by th is band since I ts o rganiza t ion in .luly,

published in Thk Lkugkk in its Isjik! of Sept . 15, was made by a duly accredited commit tee a n d was a s ta tement of fac t s to which we a re | willing t o make af f idavi t and which we feel is exceedingly creditable. At a meeting held Monday evening,Oct . 10. the repor t alluded t o w a s unani-mously endorsed.

We wish t o say t h a t If there has ever been a band , enterprise or bust- j ness organiza t ion In t h i s Milage t h a t has paid better r e tu rns to the public In a given time t h a n the .pres-e n t Lowell band. It w a s a r e m a r k a b l e organizat ion. The members of th i s band have a t a g r ea t sacrifice of |)eBn I sons I pleasure and p r iva te engago»| niei.\H, mainta ined their Mrganlza-tion under difficulties of which the I pin-headed edi tor of the . lournal h a s | no conception. The money raised by the citizens In liKW has been en-tirely expended in proper ty which now belongs to the Village and we | have a l ready given $4iM) w o r t h of free public services. We asked the Council t o pay the tr if l ing expense of l ight for the free st reet concerts be-1 cause we were t o l u t o d o so and as-1 sured by members of t h a t body t h a t there w a s n o d o u b t o f their paying i t , and because we lieileve It k igh t t h a t I they should do so In order t h a t t h e ] expense little a s it Is shall be borne by the general public Instead of sad-dling it upon our business men w h o are cont inual ly confronted by sub-scription papers of all s o r t s and sizes.

We consider t h a t a f t e r sixteen men have devoted their energies for a year t o the en te r t a inment of t l iepub-lic w i t h o u t remunera t ion t h a t t h e j bill of $11.27 for gasoline a n d torch-bearers is t o o small t o have oc<m-sloned an adverse remark , let a lone t he false and malicious a t t a c k by t h e .1 ournal . We feel t h a t If o u r services so cheerfully rendered a re n o t w o r t h the expense of giving them t h a t w e have foolishly wasted o u r t ime In our efforts to please an unapprecla-tlve public.

We do not believe t h a t such Is the case and we confidently expect t h a t when the honorable Council under-s t a n d s the m a t t e r In I ts t r ue l ight t h a t a sa t i s fac tory se t t lement will lie made.

"Ii is n bravo thought," nt lotagtli fibc h.'iM. "But how arc thoy to oncnjie from I ho prison? The gates arc c l o u ' I ."

"My hunhnnd will withdraw the RMirdB there. Thoy will be ntatloncd Jn yondrr room. Tho prisoners will come hero to cnplnro tho house anrt will full Into tho trap. Dare you do your p ut to aid In the escape of the man who mived your life at the rlslc of his own?" and KttthOrlfio fixed her •yon on tho faco of Caroline.

"Give mo .1 moment alone—glvo mo time- to thinU." she said.

"I will await your answer," said Kathorlno eagerly, " i t Is, remember, to the effect the rescue of the young exile who snHtqhed you from the jaws of death."

So saying. Katherlne left the room. The Rlrl rose to her feet. Her heav-

ing bosom showed that she was under some Intense strain. She walked up and down the room once or twice, her hands pressed to her throbbing tem-ples. At the upper end of the room •was a slack of arms. She cautiously approached It and examined the guns. They wore of the old-fashioned percus-sion cap type. Taking the decantor of vodka wbicb stood near, she gazed curiously around for a moment and then poured the liquor down the bar-rels of the guns. Just as she had finished this extraordinary act there was a sound a t the outer door, and Karsicheff and Nicholas re-entered the room.

They looked curiously at the girl. "The lady has gone." explained Car-

oline. "but she will return presently." "All right," said Nicholas, "we wore

afraid we might have Interrupted your conversation."

At this moment the courier's door •opened slightly. "Are you there, com-mandant?" he inquired.

"yes ," shortly answered Karsicheff. ' Those pardons for Alexis Nazimoff

and Ivan Barosky are not to be for-warded to Chitka until 1 see you in the morning. I have other papers to sen 1 with them to the ispavnik f.t Chr-va."

"'•'our orders will be obeyed." * Vory well," and the courier clored

'hi? door. • You had better get the pardwns

f r o n mother." said Nicholas, In case h e asks for them."

"There is plenty of time. She has them in her bosom and to ask her for them now would excite her still more. H-tw has she succeeded, I wondir," av<i be looked at Caroline.

(fjhe had sunk into the chair, her h »?.d supported by her hand and ht'r

' regular , heavy breathing showed *fat ttfo was fast asleep. Kars}r;beff >hrueped his shoulders. "Not a very yomin ing instrument." he muttered.

Kathei loe came In at this moment, • n d her eye fell on the sleeping girl. •She advti.ced with a soft step. 'Why •Jld you come in." she said with some tnuoyanffo. "I have got her ^fmost <o tho v»rge of consent." and In a »apid whisper she went over t i e de-•alls of t'ae plan she bad propcAed to Caroline.

KarskhofTs eyes sparkled. * "Excel-•cnt," ho iiaid.

Nicholas was doubtful. "Si's has aot the t c rve to carry It out."

"Leavt me—we shall see. Gc and Instruct the guard to give hf^r free entrance '.o the kamera. and tr- leave the gat« open If you should desire. Then gtt your guards ready If I can brin/ her to nerve herself *.o act all will {;o well and Alexis Nazimoff and Iva»! Barosky will trouble us no more," i..4d Katherlne Karslchtff fair-ly g?oaL*;d over the prospect.

1 responso. "And now, madame, give : ic tho file and an opportunity to get into tho prison pen."

"I/.'t tho pi;:;ial be a pistol shot," said Katherlno. with feverish haste.' " I h r e is a file: my husband has given orders to admit you to the kameras. Do not falter. Keep a brave heart, and all will bo well."

"Do not fear, madame. My success shall surprlFO you"; and so saying, Caroline quitted the room.

"Victory—revenge—oh. my plan Is perfect." said tho now exultant Kath-erlne. as she wont to the door and watched the girl enter the stockade. A moment later she saw a figure slink along in the darkness. It was Nicho-las and he was following Caroline.

Even as t-he saw him disappear, Karsicheff approached, the guard fol-lowing ' him from the guardhouse. Silently they entered the house and taking their arms from the rack were conducted behind a door opposite to that which the convicts were to enter.

Katherlne gave a signal for pro-found sllcnce as Karsicheff disap-peared with his men.

Then, drawing a revolver, from her bosom, she examined it carefully and replaced It ready for use.

All was going well—everything was perfect, all but the pardon of llda Barosky, and that was in possession of the courier. She stepped to his door on tiptoe.

But not softly enough. "Who goes there!" said a gruff

voice. "The wife of the commandant,

colonel. 1 was anxious about your In-jurles. Can 1 do anything for your comfort?"

"Thank you, no. I simply need rest."

Katherlne stepped back. "He is wide awake. The pardon can not be stolen while b o ' sleeps." Then a thought occurred to her and she smiled. Evidently a happy thought. It was this; If Caroline could succeed in the one task, why not try to make her attempt the other.

Every minute seemed an hour as Katherlne, her heart beating with anx-ious throbs, waited thd return of the girl. She peered out Into the night, trying to pierce the gloom. It was not long until her patience was rewarded. With a light step and with an air that spoke of success. Caroline appeared on the outside of the stockade, ran across, aud entered the house.

"Have you succeeded," asked Kath-erlne, eagerly. . J

"Better, madame, than I had dared to hope." ••

"They will at tempt to storm the house.".

"They are getting ready now." "Brave girl. Oh, had 1 now but pos-

session of the pardon of llda Barosky, by triumph would be complete."

"llda Barosky," said Caroline, "an absent friend?"

"No," responded Katherlne, "fOie is my bitterest enemy, and in three days she will be free. Tho courier lies asleep In that room with her pardon In his possession. Could you but sKcuro that pardon 1 would give you any re-word you could ask in my power.

"He is asleep, you say?" asked Car-oline.

"Yes, I think so. Will you t ry!" "I will try." "Bu'.," said Katherlne "if he should

be awake—here—take this—defend yourse l f -bu t get that pardon at any cost/ ' and she handed her the re-volver.

No sound broke the silence save the hard breathing of the two women.

Caroline went softly to the door, opened it. and disappeared in the hall within. Katherlne ran to her hus-band's greatcoat and secured another

pardoned by tho czar. Their pardsus are here," and she waved the papprt high above her head.

Katherlne sprang at her, but re-coiled at the cocked revolver leveed nt her head. "Woman, devil, serpw.t, spy." she scrcamed, "who are you?"

Tearing off the blonde wig wh eh had so effectually disguised her, the girl with flashing eyes confronted (ho maddened woman as she exclaim* d:

At this moment cries of "Help! help!" were heard from the room where Olga had been confined. Ivan sprang up and with ono mighty effort burst in the door, and Olga was In his arms.

There is no need to dwell fur ther on the scenes which followed. Retri-bution had at last overtaken the Kar-îcheffs and a week later they wero n j their way to the mines.

Within the tall "lands" in Edin-burgh, built so closely together that

, tbe inhabitants of adjoining houses ] could often shake hands across the l deep but narrow chasm that divided

them, tho inhabitants lived in the most confined of quarters. Four, five or at most six rooms constituted the apartments of tho wealthiest families.

1 Servants olept outside the house or under the kitchen table; beds wcro made up for the nurse and children in the master 's study; turned-up beds with curtains drawn round them stood in tho drawing room. Naturally the

| entertaining that could be done In such apartments was of the smallest. My lady could receive a few friends over a cup of tea in her bedroom, but when her lord wished to dine or

over a mug of ale or a tass of brandy in the little rooms of a dark tavern half underground. Hero the city mag-istrates were accustomed to meet, and here the ministers of the general as-sembly were entertained. Even trades-people attended to their business as much .vithin the tavern as within tho shop. As a result, tho greater part of the male population of Edinburgh drank steadily from morn till eve. and far on into the night. At 10 o'clock at night the drum of the city guard warned all God-fearing men to leave the tavern and seek their homes. In accordance with the provisions of an ancient law which closed all places of. entertainment at that hour. But the law a t this time was laughed at by the very magistrates sworn to enforce it. Scott's picture of Councillor Pley-dell Is but a faint sketch of the ac-complished toper of the olden time. Even to-day the capacity of a well-seasoned Scotchman for his native drink Is something to appal the un-tried foreigner; but if we may believe a t i the of the stories collected by such a creditable authority as Dean Ram-say,' the Scotch of to-day are In this respect but poor and degenerate sci-ons of a heroic race.—T.

Cure to Stay Cured. Wapello. Iowa, Oct. 10 (Specials—

One of the most remarkable cures over recorded In Louisa County is that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months and when she was able to sit up she was all drawn up on one side and could not walk across the room. Dndd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak-ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says:

"Yes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cared mo after I was in bed for eight months and I know the cure was complete for that was three years ago and I have not been down since. In four weeks from the time I started taking them I was able to make my garden. Nobody can know how thankful 1 am to be cured or how much 1 feel I owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills."

This case again points out how much the general health dotiends on the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of tho suffering the human family is heir to, will disappear.

About the same time the Chinaman who had caused the rescue appeared. This t ime ha wished to Join the church

himself. He had not been a member long before he came forward with the request for a wife, which was granted. Among the names suggested was tha t of the rescued girl, and he chose her. Her consent was the only condition and, needless to say, tha t was easily obtained.

The wedding was not delayed. The time taken to deceive the missionaries had been too long for tho loving hearts. They were united by the mis-sion pastor, af ter which ibef left for a josshouse and were married by th priest In real Chinese fashion.

The last the missionaries heard of them they were living in the heart of Chinatown and were worshiping joss, even mote devoutly than their neigh-bors. Later it was discovered that the Chinaman, who was really the girl 's lover, but had not sufficient funds with which to purchase her, had used the missionary people In this shrewd manner. He got the girl he loted without paying the 12,000. But the missionary has lost her confidence in the yellow Tac©.—San Fran else* Call

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOOfi/ KNCCK AT THE DOORS 0 5

CANADA FOR WHEAT.'

A Crop of 60,000,000 Bushels of Wheat Will Be the Recom of 1904.

The results of tho threshing in

Western Canada are not yet complet-ed. but from Information at hand,-it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At pres-ent. prices this will add to tbe wealth of the farmers nearly 160,000,000. Then think of the immense yield of oats and barley, and the large herds of cattle, for all of which good prices will be paid.

The following official telegram was sent by Honorable Clifford Slfton, Min-ister of the Interior, to Lord Strata-cona. High Commissioner for Can-ada:

"Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual diffi-culty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and Is now secure from sub-stantial damage. The reports of in-jury by frost and rust were grossly exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will aggre-gate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. The quality Is good and the price Is ranging around one dollar per bushel."

Frank H. Spearman, In the Satur-day Evening Post, says:

"When our first transcontinental railroad was built, learned men at-tempted by Isotherman demonstration to prove that wheat could not profit-ably be grown north of where the line was projected;, but the real granary of the world lies up to 300 miles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day Is not definitely distant when tho United States will knock a t the doors of Canada for its bread. Rail-road men see such a day; it may be hoped that statesmen also will see it, and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed Into that far country and to. a. degree have taken the American wheat field with them. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the S t Paul road— Eureka—held the distinction of being the largest primary grain market In the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota will one day yield their palm to BaS' katchewan."

WHAT ROME THINKS THE POPE'S PHYSICIAN

DORSES AN AMERICAN REMEDY.

EN-

Dr. Lapponl Uses Or. Williams' Pink Pills In His Practice Because Re-sults Meet His Expectations.

Dr. Lapponl, tho famous physician to the Vatican, whose name has re-cently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting atten-tion to His Holiness, the late Pope Leu XIII., and the high esteem and confidence with v/hlch he Is regarded by the present Pope, His Holiness, Plux X., is a man of commanding genius. He Is more than a mere man ot science; he is a man of original and Independent mind. Untrammeled by the "etiquette" of the medical pro-fession, and having used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in his prac-tice with good results, he freely avows the facts and endorses the value of this remedy with an authority which no one will venture to question.

Dr. Lapponi's Letter. "I certify that I have used Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the slmplo anemia of develop-ment. After a few weeks of treat-

' ment, the result came fully up to my expectations. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation not only in the treat-ment of other forms of the cate-gory of anemia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neurasthenia and the like." (Signed)

GIUSEPPE LAPPONI, Via del Gracchi 332, Rome.

The "simple anemia of develop-ment" referred to by Dr. Lapponl Is. of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood Is tardy and whoso health at that period Is so often im-periled. His opinion of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-ple at that time is of the hlghost sci-entific authority and it confirms the many published cases in which anemia and other diseases of the blood, as well as nervous diseases, such as ner-vous prostration, neuralgia. S t Vitus' dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia have been cured by these pills. They are commended to the public for their efficiency in making new blood and strengthening weak nerves. After sdeh an endorsement they will be ac-cepted by the medical end scientific world at their full value.

As It slowed up a t the station Tracy's train moved on, but not before ho bad Indelibly fixed nn the film of his kodak a glimpse of the buck platform of tbe passing train. He raised his bead and saw, vaguely, n girl bending over a kodak focused apparently, on him, but before she looked up his car had rounded a curve and she was lost to view.

Tracy returned to New York af te r several weeks, and one of his first acts was to develop his "views". With the luck of the ordinary amatuer, a few of them were good, but most of them were bad. Hoary old Sir Donald had diminished his crest Into the eye of the kodak to snch an extent that he was hardly distinguishable from the low-lying hills that border Lake Supe-rior, while glaciers, lakes and rivers, redwoods and farm lands, were hope-lessly confused. Only one view was sharp and clear. Framed by the door-way of a sleeper, a young girl looked straight from the plate Into Tracy's cyep.

"By Jove!" he exclaimed, "what a beauty! She must be the Banff girl I"

Tbe Banff girl she was, and the Banff girl she remained for days, weeks, and even months. Tracy printed her off and she was charming: Iu a blue print she was beautiful, and blue prints are crucial tests of beauty; on carbon paper she vros exquisite, and wth each experimental printing her image penetrated deeper and deeper into Tracy's heart. At last he enlarged her; or, not quite a t last, for the crowning point of his folly was to f rame her in sliver and Install her on his dressing table as mistress of his heart and possessions. There she stood for several weeks, returning his glanc-es—not in kind, perhaps, but In num-ber—and known to him only by the prosaic name of th > "Banff girl." Then, one evening, she was christened, and it was in this wise:

Jack Seymour ran up to Tracy's rooms to communicate some person-al Information; wandering Idly about the room, he saw the photograph, picked it up, glanced at it carelessly, then put it down. "Good photograph, he said, "amateur, of course. I didn't know yon knew Edith so well. She's a jolly girl. Isn't she?"

Editbl And here was a man Trho knew her! But what a fool he would look to ask the name of a girl whose photograph was enshrined in the pri-vacy of his dressing table! In a mo-ment more Seymour was gone. Tracy felt a mad impulse to rush af te r him and ask who, what, aud where "Edilh "was, but pride hold him back, and the next day Seymour sailed for Egypt.

By this time Edith's photographic presentment filled Lattlmer Tracy's life, and tbe entire world was merely a dense veil hiding her from him. He went to every dance and dinner, he ev^n haunted teas, hoping that hs

might find her. Once he was invited to a dinner to meet "My cousin. Miss Edith Balnbrldge, of Victoria." His heart beat with an overwhelmng Joy as he read the words. At Inst she would be bis! He entirely Ignored all Intermediate steps of acquaintance. In-timacy, proposal and acceptnncc. He gazed at his photograph with rapt ador-ation. "Mine, mine, mine!" he cried, and the sweet eyes smiled back at blui from under the wind-swept hair.

When be stood before his hostess that night his face was white and bi» voice hoarse with emotion.

"Edith, Miss Balnbrldge, Mr. Trncy!" The words were spoken and Tracy turned to meet her. AlnsI this Edltb was not his Edltb, but only an elderly Scotch spinster. Tracy never knew bow be lived thiongh that evening, but when he returned to bis room and his Edith he was more hopelessly her slave than ever. "I will Und you some time," he cried, passionately. "In spite of the world and fate!" The world and fate, be it understood, were repre-sented by his hostess and her Innocent cousin.

The winter drew to a close, and Trncy was growing hopeless. Should he start out In quest of her, he asked blniKelf. Hut what a hopeless quest! Should he follow Seyiumir and ask, r.s Incidentally as possible, his Edith'f name? Hut to brand lilmself an Idiot In Seymour's eyes was dlstasefui in the extreme.

It was Saturday, and Tracy was on bis way to an afternoon reception. No hope of Ilnding Edith led him thith-er. but one of his friends had asked him to belp entertain her guests. He waited for a moment In the antecham-ber. realltlng from the voices that only girls were in the adjoining room. Then he heard a name that made his heart stand still.

"Don't tell me. Edith Seymour, that you have worn bis picture ever since."

"Yes, I have. You can call It silly If yon like, but of all the kodaks that

took from Yokohama to Montreal, his was the only one that came out. Of course, there was a fate In that. Could any one doubt it? i t 's in this very locket now. and I'll wear It until 1 meet him. I know I will some lime, I'm absolutely positive of that."

"How romantic!" "But show it to vs." "I wonder If you will ever see mm." "I'll wager you don't." "What will you say to him?" "No, I won't. Of course, I will,"

Miss Seymour answered to all these exclamations. "And I'll say—"

'Oh, how do you do, Mr. Trncy? I didn't hear you come In." exclaimed the hostess. "It 's awfully good of you to come so early. • ou know every one here, don't you? Ob. no—Miss Seymour, I want you to know Mr. Tracy. She's Jack Seymour's cousin from Montreal, you know. You've heard him speak of his cousin Edith a thousand times, haven't you?"

The words f.owed on in a melodious murmur. Tracy beard none of them. Her hand was in his and—well, of course, Cupid was on band to complete the task he had commenced on the sidetrack at Banff.

Speaker Cannon is one of those gifted Individuals who can seem to storm through his life roughshod and never break an eggshell. He talks uncouth, agricultural English, punctuated with tobacco juice aud explosive profanity. The great American people tramples on itself with the desire to grasp him by the buttonhole as soon as his speech is over. His campaign clothes never fit him, and one leg of his trousers is always pulled up enough to show that he wears white yarn socks. Yet scan-dalous things are told of Uncle Joe; they say in Washington, for instance, that no man's dress coat hangs more smoothly over the shoulders; that no man's patent leather shoes glisten more splendidly or are tied with a more graceful silken bow. Go tell oae of the Speaker's constituents that ; tbe constituent will laugh. He will say:

"Now, don't you go worrying your-self about Joe. He don't wear them fine things because he likes to. It 's just to get somethin' or other outer the people he's mixin' with. Joe's just as plain and straight r s you an' I. 1 feel this way about Joo; He ain't got much of a way of say in' things, an" he don't put thrills up and down your back. But he's got sense.

and by an act of faith at the last hour escape all the conse-quences of their evil doing has wrought much evil.'

However, A Thinker must know that the sentiments here-in expressed are From Our Point of \ iew in the business world. As a matter of fact that can not be gainsaid, the busi-ness world in its dealings with men is concerned with what those men ABE and NUT with their religious opinions: only, if a man's character is right, business men are ap t 4o conclude that for him at least his belief--no matter what—must be a good thing.

As for the Standard alluded to by A Thmker, THE LED-GER gladly joins him in confessing tliat i t t o be found in the Man of Nazareth. Jv .

In answer to A Thinker's last question, we %ave, to say that APPARENTLY believing and doing do NOT ALWAYS go to-gether in the formation of character. Consider the beliefs and character of two men we have known: i,

Mr. A. made no public profession of religion; in' fact his keen intellect often displayed itself in ridicule oi dqtanas and creeds that have now been abandoned by Cbr is t ia j r teackers.. In life he was "ou the square" with all men, lEearicss' ifcor ttw right, honest and true. After he died, a poor w-idw t unknown to the world, he had befriended her in want.'*; the writer he did an unsolicited kindness and when thanked for it said; "Pass it on! Do a favor for some one else." When Mr. A. lay dying, a clergyman asked: "How is it with you?" And he replied: "I am ut peace with all the world—except liars."

Mr. B. was a professed Christian and church-member, andlj; to give him his due was a good-natured soul, laughing gleeful-ly about the thirty gallons of rainwater in the barrel of cider he sold us; but he was such an abominable liar that a man once went into a store and called for "A can of John B. ," ex-plaining afterward to the mystified clerk that it was concen-trated lye he wanted. In a lodge reception room one night, one of the brethren was telling of a Baron Munchausen and said: "Why, he lies worse than J o h n B , " The rest of the story was drowned in shrieks of derisive laughter and shouts of: "Tell us something we can believe." This man gave a chattel mortgage on property he never owned, and actually, as he lay on his death-bed assured the money lender that "The property is there and the security is good;" and went before his Maker with that lie on his lips and the fraud unconfessed. Many times we have met B. at a church exit after services and accepted his outstretched hand; but it "gave us a pain," {pb believing and doing did not hitch in his case. ( "

We have cited these cases in answer to A TaTnTite^B last question. Evidently, mere belief will not make a goof* man bad or a bad man good; and men may shout and write till Gab-riel blows his Jborn, but they can not make the world cease to love a character like A.'s nor give over despjgitig one like B.'s.

Mr. A. Disbelieved some things that A Thinker deems im-portant; but his character w h s rigbt. Mr^ B. professed belief in accord with that of A Thinker, as wc undeHtand it; but his character was below par.

So, we must come back to the starting point and declare tliat "Character, not belief, is the important thing;"and if it is wise to judge a tree by its fruit, even Ajjrhinker must agree

When TBhu-'bsi was scheming dur-ing the reign of the childless Emper >r Tong-chi lo get the reigns of power into her own hands, the first tiling she did was lo obtain the recognition of the present emperor, then a chilo. as heir to tbe throne.

Two Sides of a River.

The Red River of the North divides t h e state of North Dakota from the steto of Minnesota. Tho conditions of soil, climate, seasons, and natural advantages on one side of tbe r k e r aro Identical with those on tbe other. The river at one point divides the two cities of Fargo. N. D.. and Moorebead. Minn.; at another it separates Grand Forks, N. D., from East Grand Forks, Minn. The Minnesota cities have licensed saloons, the North Dakota cities have none.

Comparing Fargo with Moorebead. the North Dakota city far outstrips her Minnesota neighbor In the matter of public improvements. Fargo has one mile of cedar block pavement for each 676 population, against one mile for each 3,862 population in Moorebead; Fargo has one mile of water main for each 270 population; Moorebead one mile for each 702 population. Other Improvements show a large bal-ance In favor of the "dry" town. Yet the tax rate for Fargo for city pur-poses Is only 1.498 per cent, while the Moorhead rato is 2.183 per cent. The city debt of Fargo Is $19.50 per capita, or 7.8 per cent of tbe assessed valua-tion, while that of Moorhead was $44.79. or 20.5 per cent. As to crim-inals. Fargo had 662 arrests, and Moorebead. which Is less than half tbe size of Fargo, had 542 arrests, sb aw-ing nearly three times more criminal-ity In the license city than in the pro-hibition town.

Grand Forks. N. D.. without liquor, has a population of 11.000, and has

.2,600 children of school age. It bas an assessed property valuation of thfoa and one-half millions, with a bomlM Indebtedness of 8% per cent. It h a s t e n miles of paved streets, an electric Ught plant, an effective sewer system, water works with a filter cost-iCti $45,000. and efficient Improve-ments of many kinds. City warrants are at par nnd bonds at a premium. T b e churches, colleges, schools, li-brary. Y. M. C. A. and other Institu-tions of light and knowledge are In -excellent condition.

East Grand Forks, Minn., bas a pop-ulation of 3,000 and bas forty-two sa-loons. Its assessed valuation Is $384,-000 and Us bonded Indebtedness amounts to 26 per cent of tbe valua-tion. In addition to this there were, a t the time of the comparison, out -standing debts, deficiencies and un paid - warrants amounting to $50,000. Tbe tax levy Is 20 per cent higher than that of Grand Forks, N. D., y e t although there Is added to this $21,000 license from the forty-two saloons, tbe -city runs behind from $15,000 to $20,-000 per year. There arc few Improve-monts. one-third of a mile ot paving, one mile of sewerage, and an electric l ighting plant valued a t $8,000.

On the Dakota side material pros-perity, sobriety, crime reduced to minimum. On the Minnesota side drunkenness, gambling, carousing, be-sotted men and wretched women, the city nearly bankrupt In purse as well as In character, and possessefl of few of tbe features which belong to a mod-ern city.

Two Cures for Intemperance. To those wbo look for results,

rather than the nursing of theories, it Is manifest that there are two great reforms that would do more ' to lessen the evils of the liquor traffic than a million platform pronunclamentos. These are, first, tho abolition of the "treating" habit, which Is carried to such absurd extremes In this country; and. secondly, the providing of some attractive substitute for the saloon. Enough has been said and written against the "treating" habit, ond It Is not necessary to go Into details on the subject. There Is no doubt that it Is the leading cause that carries many young men over the line of modera-tion to excess. Some years ago an effort, half serious and half jocular, was made to put an antl-treatlng bill through the Colorado Legislature. This Is obviously a thing that cannot well bu controlled by legislation. But it would easily be possible to get up

movement that would make "treat-ing" unfashionable—"bad form," as our English cousins would say.

As to the other suggestion—In re-gard to providing some attractive sub-stitute for the saloon—It is obviously a, vital one. Some years ago a move-mrnt was started In England, by peo-ple who saw tbe need of something of this kind. Thoy established coffee houses, where, for a reasonable prlco, non-alcoholic refreshments might be obtained, also reading maUer and games. It Is an undoubted fact that a m .jorlty of those who resort to sa-loons go there for tho sake of tho light, warmth and the companionship rather than for the liquor. In Los An gelcs there was started several months ago an establishment cf tbe kind referred to. and It proved so suc-cessful that a second house bas been added.—Los Angeles Times.

Cows and Music. Some cows seem to enjoy tho lively

Jigs we sometimes whistle a t milking time, nnd others do not like them so well, but prefer the old-fashioned, long-horned tunes our grandfathers used to sing at meeting. Suit your tunes to the temperament of tbe cow you are milking. There Is fitness in

11 things, and this will bes t fit into your returns a t tho ond of the season. —Philadelphia Farm Journal.

Oaks Named for English Queens. Many English queens Have cTiosen

oak trees in Windsor forest whereon their names, with the daton of their" choice, have been commemorated by 1 moans of brass jilates. In different parts of the forest, with seats around them, are oaks bearing the names of Queen Elizabeth. Queen Caroline. Queen Charlotte and Queen Victoria.

Total Cost of tbe Liquor Business. For every dollar we receive from

the liquor business we lose $16.50 The loss from the saloon business Is about as follows: Loss from drunken ness is estimated at 50 per cent of the cost of liquor; loss to sober men. per ccnt; loss In pauperism. 1 per c e n t ; loss In Insanity and dlsabnity 2.5 per cent.; In sickness. 14 per cent, labor of liquor makers. 40 per cent total 145.6 per cent. Thus the indirect cost foots up about 145.5 per cent of the direct cost. The direct cost in 190o was $1,172,493,000. This gives as the actual cost of the notion's liquor busl ness for 1900 the enormous sum of $2,804,958,000. The revenue from the traffic for tbe same year amounted to $170,000,000. or just one dollar out of every sixteen dollars and fifty cents of the cost. If this Is not business stu pidity will not some ono tell us what It Is? In 1900 the city of Boston re-ceived one million dollars from the liquor business, but it paid $22,000,000 to maintain courts, police, hospitals and to sustain Its paupers. Why do we practice such financial folly? In our a t tempts to remedy the saloon ill by tbe liceiioc we get the worst of the bargain.—Rev. James H. Mohorter of Massachusetts.

Tho never-ending gloom that Is tho lot of women doomed by circum-stances to the life of a farm drudge is believed to have driven Minnie

Many Days Without Sleep.

Philadelphia physician tolls of a doctor who went without sleep for | Harmenlng to end her life. Tbe Har-eight days and nights, and of another 1 men lugs, from father to the youngest who did not go to bed for eighteen ! child, are tillers of the soil. All work days. Napoleon rode for days In the | in the fields, and Minnie was missed saddle apparently without sleep. No when It was noticed she had not done authentic tests probably exis t the regular afternoon chores. It was

yza? j'tywu /XLtmr/wp ADJ4CEWT T&PWS

her day to drive home the cattle and mflk them, after working al! the morn-ing and part of the afternoon in the fields.

The girl, neighbors say. knew none of the pleasures which her more for-tunate sisters enjoy. She seemed not to caê for and had little time to enjoy the companionship of her neighbors. Her schooling ended, her brother said, when she had finished the third reader.

"Why. it was so long ago tbat I cannot remember when we did go to school." he declared.

Although 20 years old, Minnie had no sweetheart, so far as her family know. Neighbors and the people of Palatine believe that tho dreariness of her life dawned upon her and she ended life and labor at the same time.

HOPE FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.

The Useful Alphabet "There's one good thing about It,"

chuckled the ancient Phoenician as he , invented the a lphabet "some of those! for society and goes out infrequently, politicians will be sure to write let- i She Is much interested in charitable ters now that will knock them Into a cocked hat when they run for office."

Origin of Temperance Movement It Is a curious fact that the i roblbi

tion movement in England was first or-ganized through the refusal in 1840 of a life insurance company to accept a total abstainer a t i ts ordinary adver-tised rates.

The medical advertisers of the com -pany held that total abstention not only subjected its professor to unusual r i sks of Infection, but also implied such a peculiar character, so different f rom that of ' the average man ou which their statistics were based, that these could X0. be relied upon In de-termining tho risk.

This man was Robert Warner, a boll founder of London. He was 26 years of age, a total abstainer and a Qua-ker. He immediately set about form ing an Insurance company of his own and with the assistance of other total abstainers and members of the Society •of Friends soon succeeded In establish-ing the United Kingdom Total Abstain-ers' Life association, in which Warner took out tho first policy.

In 1849 a new department was added to the company, to which non-abstain-i n g members were admitted. However, only those who used alcohol in such tnorteratlon that no lesion from Its use could be detected at the time were admitted. The name of the society was changed to tho United Klngdou Temperance and General Provident In-stitution. From 1866 to 1901 the sta-t ist ics of each section were kept sepa-rately.

Daring this thirty-six years. In the moderate drinking division there oc-curred 11,241 deaths, with claims

:amountlng to $12,99f»,635. In the tem-perance division there were 6,300 .deaths, with claims of $7,243,110. Ac-

Brewing as an Economic Factor The impression ts general that Mil-

waukee with lis large breweries greatly benefited economically by that business. The plastering of walls all over the country with brewers' adver-tisements about beer making Milwau-kee famous has led to that Impression. In a statement Issued by the Mer-chants' and Manufacturers ' Associa-tion of Milwaukee for 1903 we find the following statement of total output of various Industries:

Metal working Industries, $79,776,-S37; wearing apparel. $28,763,576; leather. $24,235,307; beer products, $20,730,200.

As to the comparative value of the brewing business as an employer of labor there is especial value in the following figures, showing that the metal industries employ 27.977 per sons; leather. 7,839; wearing apparel. 9,733, and breweries. 3.545. A large percentage of the brewery employes are under 21 years old. and women.

Labor received 22.9 per cent of the entire value of the metal output. 14.5 per cent of tbe leather. 20.9 per cen' of the wearing apparel, and but 11 per cent of the product of the breweries.

On the Cost of Drinking. Statements have been made that the

liquor licenses of Chicago amount tc $3,700,000 each year, and I have been told that the quantity of liquor con sumed here amounts to $1,000,000,000 The question that naturally arises in tho minds of thinking people Is, Whc pays for this? 1 believe that careful observation will convince us that It 'is tho poor man, tho laboring man, whc consumes tbe greater portion of the strong drink.

1 wish to place this thought bfefore the laboring men and t rus t it may be helpful: Why not organize a co-opera tlvo society, using the money they spend for liquor in tho purchase of homes. How many homes could they build yearly In Chicago? Surely enough to house every man. woman and child.—Letter to Chicago Daily

Lessons Drawn from the Present Con flict in the Eas t

The International peace congress, which has been In session at Boston, has added Its voice to the many that have recently been lifted in plea that steps be taken to terminate the wi r In the far East. Would that there were hope that the plea might have success.

These advocates of peace feel the horrors of war and see clearly the blessings that a perpetual peace would bring to the world. They give expres-sion to the greatest of ideals. But they do not touch the immediate prac-tical problem.

Russia end Japan, the belligerents, have in view only their own national

| interests, as they appear to them at 1 the present time. They will ask them-

selves only whether tho cost of war in wealth and lives Is worth the ob-jects which they hope to gain for themselves as nations. And for both countries the more tbey fight the stronger their fighting blood will be, and the harder it will be for them to compromise short of complete victory on - one side and complete defeat on tbe other, or. as an alternative, com-plete prostration on both sides.

The lesson of It all is that In time of peace ' the world should prepare for peace. While war Is raging peace res-olutions addressed to tbe belligerents must surely fall upon deaf ears . -Chi -cago Record-Herald.

Germany's Public Debt. Germany's public debt amounts to

$750,600,000; the Interest on this is more than $35,000,000 a year.

Ellen Terry 's Foibles. Ellen Terry, wbo Is again to charm

One Is her childish de-sire to own everything new and bi-zarre, and the other la her hSblt of carrying with her everytftfero a hand-bag bursting with letters and papers. On the actress 's last visit to this country these two foibles came to-gether In a way tbat was a little pe-culiar and not a Iltt^d amusing.

Getting Even. Pres. David Starr Jordan of Leland

Stanford university, who was born In Gainesville, N. Y., tells a story of an energetic Gainesville character, who was known as "Red Morgan."

"Red Morgan" was one day hired to saw three and a half cords of wood at 50 cents a day. The farmer who hired Red was a long-beaded skin-flint. He said:

" 'Now Red. you have no saw of your own, so I'll rent you my saw for this job, and all I'll charge you Is 12 cents a cord. Is that all right?"

" 'O , sure,' said Red. Tha t ' s all right, and thank ye for rentin' the saw to me.'

"So Red went to work, and late In the afternoon he flnished the job.

Then he reported to the farmer for his pay.

" ' L e t me see.' said the farmer. 1 owe you 50 cents for the day's work. You owe me for the rent of the saw (three twe'ves are 36 and the half of 12 is 6) you owe me 42 cents. Eight cents balance. Well, Red. old fellow, there doesn't seem to be much coming to you. does there?' «Red studied the matter out in si-

ce for awhile, frowning and mut-(ng to himself. Then his fao«

cleaned and he said: «• <feow onfortnit It Is. farmer, that

we mdn't hev half a cord more wood to saw, fur then we would 'a* come out Jest square.'"—Rochester .Herald.

Viewed as a Pastime, •fhe man from Chicago looked with

•corn at the Bramblevllle ticket agent KB he handed out a dollar bill and ptjsbed It through the opening.

"You've got a nretty lot of oltizens to Allow t h e m s e l j b to be charged at the ratMot five c fSa a mile from here down to Misbbr on a miserable little crawling one-horse branch road," he said, bltlngly.

The ticket agent lookfc at him with a calmness which nothilte could dis-turb. '

"I'd like to call your attention to one fact before you go on usin' any .more language." he said mildly, "and

'-thai Is that while It may be five r e n t ! a mile, It's anly thirty-five cents an hour!"—Yonth*i ComDanion.
