Per haps the hustler may occasionally make a mistake in his efforts to build up the town, but keep him going— help him push. He may become weary and should be encouraged. Don't get jealous of him and throw cold water on his t (forts and •ndeav or obstruct hiseviry mo*e which on general principlee, is Calculated to benefit the community. Tba man who erects buildings doee something substantial for tbe town as veil as lor himself. It is more dittoalt to build up than to tear down. That is why so many are tfcgagtd in des troying what the le* Aire creating. Half a dozen active men are wortb more to a town than a hundred pas sive men. It takee more enter prise than money to build up a town. Help the bustler. If you won't help, crawl out ol sight and lay down. If you can't say a good ward, say nothing. There are four boys in Correction ville that the editor of the News would like to see staked out on some Isrm for this summer. They can be seen most any day standing around the streets corners, or sanntering over to the school grounds, at recese time, or whiling away their time pufßiag cignrettes or reading a Niek Carter. TUuy are not confirmed inebrialee or vicious yet, but are leaning that w»y. They are about that critical age when the body if taking on it* final growth and the mind it Mil ling into habit* of thought that are final. If some good intelligent farm er would drop suddenly into town next Saturday and lasso one of theee lads and take him out to the farm and compel him to work for bis board it would not be strictly legal and perbape the parent might object, but It W6uld be the (alvation of tbe boy. There is something in plowing and barrow iug and cultivating cotn, that lake* the kiuk ont of th* hair.—Sioux Val ley Newt. When you go to t4wn to aduoate your boys and girls remember tbia one thing, that if you . expect better schools in town, they coat more. If the street* are lit, the aidewalka paved and water and gaa at your ooor, re member they coet and you muat pay. Do not go down town and cotnmenoe grumbling about municipal taxes, etc., aa aome farmera wt know. If you are goiug to grufable juat May on your farm, where you will bother no j one, and let your children grow up in | ignorance. Tbe demand of the town' ia the energetic, wide-awake, progres sive, public spirited men, and we are happy to aay that thaee men are gen erally the progreeaira farmera. k newspaper writer saya that the Mrld needa religion today that will Mke it* poeaeaeor pay 100 oenta on IW dollar; Mil sixteen "ouooe* to the end; thirty-aii inohss to the yard; r peek* to the buabel; 1! cubic feet 10 the oord; that make a man foil lay'* work a full day's. pay whether the eye of bia employer' ia on bim or not; that will make capital diagorge the lion's share of the proflte and divide them equally and juatly with tile laborer; that will cause the man utacler to eeaee adulterating his goods; the olerk from robbing his em ployers; the official man from em- Milling tbe funds committed to hie (Hist; that will make men upright, h6nest, pure trustworthy, through all their worat of life; thatnot ouly keepa • man happy but righteous. But where would religion of this kind flourish in this day and generation of "get there no matter Kowf" Talk about good roads. Bead about geod roads. Offer to the board of public worka add all officials in any way connected with road building and improvement. Well constructed public highways appeals lb alt people—the farmers, the mer chants, tbe school patrons and pupils, Mid in fact, everybody, and they do more than any other one thing to dbvelop productive agricultural re gions out of waste lamia, and build up healthy, solid towns by enabling the produoer and oonaumer to keep in olose touch with each other and thus establish a good market for produce. When a hog gets an" ear of oorti all tbe other hogs will trot aloog behind and beg, and are ready to bite but just let thai hog get liis head faet in a crack and every son of • sow will jump on him and help tear hint to pieces. Just so it is with men. As long ss one is prosperous, has money, he can't keep his friende off with t base ball bat. The moment he is unfortunate and and hie wealth is gone he is not only snubbed by his former friend*, bul they begin to do him all the hsrm possible. When a man ataris down grsde the world steps aside and greas es tbe track." Men would go wrong lest frequently if they stopped to think bow brief a time they have in wltich to go right. An exchange telle; of a knowing wife who cured her husband of stay, ing out late in an ordinal way. Be fore going to bed she ( would plaoc two easy chairs before ths sitting room grate and then hold tfc lighted match to a cigar until room had the scent of cigar Although bar husband never smokes or said A word about noticing it, applications affected a cure. On* •hould not be unduly discour aged by a iriatak*. Some people are ftlunged into misery if they do toy thing wrong, even it (hey do not in tend it. That is not reasonable nor i« it fair to themselves. None but with God-like intelligence, endowed toith omniscience ehqpild be discour aged by a mistake or expect to go through life without making one. The right human attitude towards Unintended mistakes ie not an atti tude of deepair, but of repair. Every town has a man that has never made a success of anything in hie life, but is nevertheleee prolific in the matter of suggeetione. He ie al ways "butting in" and wanting to tell What ought to be done. He take* special delight in Itirring up petty •trif* and heighborhood row*. In fact he is a wart on the face of the berth, but what are you going to do, he will not die, and the law of the land prohibits your shooting him. It was a sad scene. The loving moth er, who had not passed a eros* word with any member of the family for year* was weeping bitterly. Kvery now and then *h* would turn her heed aside, and tears, which despite all her efforts to oontrol her emotion*, would stream from her eyes, which were red from weeping. With selfsacrifioe She persisted inber task, however, and continued to grate the htree r« liets. If you are dead or about to commit Suicide, or if you have been arrested lately and want to bring the matter to the attention of the people: if you have run away with another man's Wife; i(- you are going away or coming back; if you or wife or children or aunta or oousins, or any si your rala tivee have a party, delirium tremens, bone erysipelaa, scarlet fever, moMy left you, smallpox, a eall to preaeb, an idea, or anything of the sort, tell u* about il.

Part of her com plaint ia tbua aet forth through the Salem Journal: » "That for eevaral years prior to this date defendant became a frequenter of saloons and (pent bia time in loafing and discussing politics, whittling dry gooda bozea and saving the Govern ment of the United Statee from ruin; that the only neeeeeitiee of life (hat he waa willing provide for plaintiff waa 'water,' and thi* martial duty he performed grudgingly, hie whole time being oocupied in preparing for a con flict with the red dragon, tl»e ootpoua and other monetere that were breath ing deetruction and devesting the helpleat. milliona of Amerioao aerfa, and ao engroeaed waa defendant in aaving the running gear of (bia Gov ernment and advocating a dollar that would be good in Europe that be took no time to indulge in the vulgar pur euita of ruatling provender lor the family larder."
