THE GRANGE VISITOR.

A Word from Sister Royce.

EDITOR VISITOR: I find the Chicago
philanthropic societies only too glad to co-
operate with our Grange sisters and other
farm sisters in giving summer outings to
the many worthy ones who, without our
aid, must stay in the crowded city. Sisters,
the time fast approaches when the oppres-
sivelv hot days will render life for the
poor of the city almost uiiendurable. One
must see to realize in full what summer
life is in the crowded tenement houses of
the city.
spend days and weeks gathering the funds

and making the plans for giving afew =

weeks’ sweet, helpful life to the worthy
poor, and cannot we just take a little extra
work, (and oftentimes not an_v extra, for
many are very helpful) in order to give
comfort to those less fortunate than our-
selves! In many cases we see the immed-
iate fruits of our labor in the iinproved
condition and words of appreciation of our
guests. But if we do not see. remember
that no act of kindness mm be lost. The
kind Father has promised to reward us “ac-
cording to the deeds done in the body."

“(fast thy bread upon the waters.“

Hoping to receive more lcttcrsofinquiry
for fresh air people than we are able to
answer. I am your co-worker,

Miis. J. H. lfovcit.

Deceritly and in Order.

At the request of Miss Iluell I will at-
tempt to add a chapter to her report of the
I’arliamentary Law class as given in afor-
mer number of the GRA.\‘oE VISITOR.

Too much cannot be said to impress the
value of time saving as alluded to by Miss
Buell. In this busy age we have no right
to rob people of their most valuable pos-
session, time. A good presiding officer
will begin a meeting at the appointed mo-
ment, or at least as soon as there is a quo-
rum present. Members finding that the
business does not wait upon their tardy
coming will learn to meet that officer
pi'omptly. Reports should be brief and
concise. Minutes should be a record of
business only and not a running criticism
on subjects and speakers.

“'hen complaints are made that the
members of any organization are losing
interest and the meetings are not well at-
tended, the cause can, in many cases, be
traced to waste of time permitted by the
presiding oflicer, by being late in opening
and closing meetings, thus causing weari-
ness and dissatisfaction in those who are
prompt. The suspension of many orgaIi-
izations is due to lack of knowledge of
business methods and parliamentary law,
not only on the part of officers but
of members who waste time in irrelevant
discussion. Again if only a few members
are conversant with parliamentary usage
these few may, and often do. defeat the
will of the majority and thus gain un-
worthy ends producing inharmony and
final disaster which might have been avoid-
ed had the majority been familiar with
business methods. These are some of the
reasons why everybody should study what
to do and what to avoid in the conduct of
public meetings.

Having found in actual practice great
confusion in regard to the proper way to
receive the report of a committee. it may

prove helpful to explain that a motion to ,

receive when the committee is ready to re-
port is unnccessary unless there are ob-
jections: if there are, then such a motion
may be made before, but never after, the
report has been read, for then it has been
received and is already the property of the
body. If the assembly desires to approve
the work of the committee without adopt-
ing the suggestions made in the report, a
motion to accept will be in order, but if it
is desired to make the report the action of
the assembly it nmst be by a motion to
adopt. Thus it seems that these three
words, receive, accept, adopt, so often
used interchangeably, have widely differ-
ing parliamentary uses.

There is sometimes _ misapprehension in
regard to the difference in effect between
indefinite postponement, to lay upon the
table, or to postpone to a definite time. A
motion to postpone indefinitely is not‘ real-
ly a motion to postpone, but to suppress,
for if such a motion prevails, the subject
cannot be again brought up for action ex-
cept as new business. A motion to table
delays the consideration of a subject until
it is called from the table by a majority
vote, and thus may be easily crowded out
by other business, as taking from the table
will be opposed by all who are opposed to
the measure and perhaps by some who
favor it, but who are more deeply interest-
ed in other subjects pressing for considera-
tion. When a motion is postponed definite-
ly it becomes a special order of business
and should be called up by the Chair at
the appointed time without a motion, and
the assembly proceeds as though the sub-
iect had not been delayed.

These are a few of the many important

lias helped imicli in compelling the world
to recognize and allow her to take up
professions and vocations that have but
recently opened their doors to her. indeed
the Grange is in advance of some of our
churches in according to woman her right-
ful place, who, though she comprises two-
thirds of the membership and does a like
amount of church work. cannot go as a
delegate to General Conferencc—becausc
she is—~a woman.

Another benefit that woman has derived
from the Grange has been to arouse and
develop latent talent. Many of our women
have become. by awakened thought. the
life of the Grange to which they belong,
who never dreamed of possessing even the
courage to face an audience. However,
we caift help but think that away back in
the long ago when the Grange was in e111-
bryo, the farmers thought that they need-
ed and must have to aid them in their
work in the Grange as in the home, our
wonderful powers of ingenuity as dis-
played by the careful homekeeper in her

most farmers’ wives know so well, (espec-
ially since the grasshoppers and drouth
came and the money went abroad or some-
where), and which accounts for the good
appearance of so many farmers‘ homes.

\\'e hail with appreciation any society
that places woman on the plane that God
intended her as man‘s helpnieet in all the
walks of life, and, as workers together in
this Order let us realize that “The Grange

sented by it, the homes cannot be better
than the members which compose them”

Home Influence.

in’ MRS. MARY Roisi:i:rso,\'.

"To Adain." says Bishop Hare, “pain-
disc was home; to the good among his de-
scendents. home is paradise." ‘

\Vhat fond nicniorics cluster around the
word home. It brings recollections of our
early days and we forget for a time our
burdens and care. as we are wafted on
memoryis wings back to the home of our
childhood.

Some of us perhaps have wandered far
away. The wide ocean may roll between;
but nevertheless we see in niemory‘s pic-
ture the peaks of our native hills. There
stretches the meadow, where with childish
glee we picked the crimson tipped daisy.
We are children again, chasing each other
along the shell girded shore, stopping here
and there to mark our names in the sand,
watching the white capped waves roll in,
only to wash them out. We awake from
the fond dream to find we are not children
any more, that life with its stern realities
is staring us in the face. Our burdens
have become lighter for the time.

Home influence may be for good or evil.
It was an evil influence that crept into
Adam’s home, and its effects will be felt
for all time. \Vhat home is depends large-
ly upon the parents; especially upon the
mother. The father may be all that is true.
noble, and generous, but the mother is the
household angel, the one grand centre.

Everything depends upon the early
training of children. A certain man once
said that if he might have the spiritual
culture of a child till he was ten years old,

This plainly shows that the one is entrust-

Of a young child's character. to make or
mar it, rests under grave responsibilities:
for on the young depend the weal or woe
of every nation.

This is a great nation. How cauie it so!
The fathers and mothers who, bowed down
-by the weights of persecution, oppression
and tyranny, but scenting the air of free-
dom from afar, left the vine clad hills of
the Rhine; the fertile valleys of France,

‘the ancestral home of England, and the

rocky glens and heath clad inofiiitains of
bcotland, crossed the wide waste of waters

their posterity in this new world. b'uff'cr—
mg every privation. enduring the cold of
winter and the heat of summer. these
sturdy pioneers toiled bravely on, and the
beautiful land they made together with
their sterling qualities, their love of truth
and liberty, their religious teachings and
glorious examples, are the heir looms that
have been handed down from genci'atioii
to generation and Inadc this country what
it is today. the greatest in the world. lts
Influence is felt in every clinic.

_ History tells us that nearly all great na-
tions lose power after a time. They be-
come rich. arrogant, and oppressive, then
comes their downfall. The rulers of these
nations lived as they were taught. Loving
folly better than country. they followed in
the footsteps of their predecessors and
were involved in i'iiin.

"The effect of education can never be
done away with," says George Eliot.
lVhen England was ruled by Mary, known
better as the “bloody Mary,” the tires of
persecution burned brighter than ever be-
fore. Head after head of the noblest in
the land rolled from the block to the scaf-
fold, cruelty of every description prevailed.
lnheriting the traits of her fierce old
father, Henry the VIII, the bluebeard of
England, educated in such a court. the evil
effects clung to her and made her the
tyrant she was.

Mary. Queen of Scotts, carried the evil
effects of her education into her Scottish
kingdom. In her turrcted chamber of
ancient Holyrood, she braved the nobles
and the staunch John Knox. but to no

avail. Her early teaching lost to hera
throne and in after years her beautiful
head.

I know a man who is now an honored
and respected citizen, but in years gone
by his home was one of inteniperanee.
Sunk to the lowest de iths there was nothing
too Vile or mean for him to do. His wife
and children fled from his approach and
many times would have starved or frozen.
but for the timely aid of kind neighbors.
This man had two sons handsome, bright,
active little fellows. They grew to man’s
estate as fine types of manhood as one
would wish to see. But they are all that
vice and intemperance can make them, bold,
fighting, desperate men, a disgrace to their
sex and a poison to the air of every good coni-
munity. "No wonder, “ moaned the stricken
mother “that I have not a son worthy the
name of man."

Thus the vile education and influence has
thrown such men upon the world to come
in contact with the good and true. It is a
crime of greater magnitude than we are
aware.

lut we have better examples than tliose.
They conic umler our daily observation.
The effects of the training of all noble men
and women will always be felt. The teach-
ings of Blaine and (frlaflstoiie will cling to
Afnerica and lingland with such a tenacity
that time itself will never shake it oil‘.
limcrson says, "Men are what their
mothers made them.“ This is strong laii—
guage. yet in most cases it holds true.
The mother of Milton was a noble woman,
full of Christian charity and had much to
do in moulding the character of her boy.

"My mother sent me here." said a
man on the gallows. I believe that there
are such mothers. Lincoln owed his great-
ness to his mother. Think you she looked
into the future and saw her son at the head
of the nation? Did she see him with the
magic pa )er in his hand which was to
thrill the carts of four million people and
loosen the cords of bondage’! Did -the
mother of Bonaparte see him led on by the
ambition she instilled into his young mind,
hurl monarchs from their thrones, benefit-
ing his family therebyf Did she see the
streams of blood be caused to flow‘, the
heaps of slain? Did she hear the wails of
the widows and orphans mingled with the
roar of cannon at V\'aterloo{ Did she see
the greatest tyrant the world has ever
known caged like a wild animal on that
lonely isle of the sea, sitting in his rat in-

fested hut, moaning his destiny until re-

leased by death? Again, did the mother
of Sherman, when she saw her young son
playing around her knee in mimic warfare,
think that he would one day lead a host
on his famous “march to the sea 3”

We have many noble examples of what
good mothers have done to make their
children what they are by loving sacrifice
and self denial, but time and space forbid

 

their mention.

My sisters of the Grange, you who toil

for homes love with the hope that when
you are done with all things earthly you
may have a better home in heaven: do you
see the necessity of the influence of the
home?
, Fathers. are you aware that your sons
, watch you and imitate you sometinies to
your confusion? \\'hat father does, the
j boy loves to tell about and what mother
does. is 8. girl's boast. Plant vour stand
and firmly set it high ever looking upward
yourselves. your children as a rule will not
depart from it.

Let the home influence prcdoinimite.
The influence of the morning and evening
kiss will follow your cliildrcii out into the
~ busy world and the sweet thouglits of the
place where fatliens and mother's love
await them. will soothe them when wcarv
and often tiiues save them when tempted. it
may make them better men and women and
citizens. And as the years roll on and the
far distant shore appears to ofir views. may
the home inllucncc prepare us to meet the
3 kind and loving Fatlicr who is waitiiig to
welcome us to the home not made with

hands. ctcrnal in the llcavcns.

Influence.

A honey bee flew, slfakiufz downward the dew,
And sang to the heart of a. rose:
“Your work is all done by a kiss from the sun.
And idly your petals unclose;
While from flower to flower I’m constantly
winging,
Winging, singing and honey bringing.
“This morning I found roaming around,
A lily with downeast eyes;
And she told me to say, if I saw you today,
Your love was a sweet surprise;
She knows through the flowers I'm constantly
winging,
Winging, singing, and messages bringing.
“A perfume she sent by the wind as it went,
But she feared it might blow away;
And I looked at her too, and thought, as of you,
You have nothing to do all day;
While from flower to flower I’m constantly
winging,
winging, singing, and honey bringing.
"You forget,‘said the rose.’ there's work in repose ;
The butterfly silent has lain,
And if some heart that's dear, our beauty can
cheer.
We shall not have blossomed in vain;
If it were not for us, you could not be winging,
winging, singing, and honey bringing."

Watchie Shaw.

\Vatchie is the dearest, and biggest, and
wisest of Newfoundland dogs. You should
just see what big, white paws, and what a
nice white nose~—thc rest of him is black
and .\w curly.

He lives, or his folks do, which is all
the same thing, in a pretty brown house
with piazza and bay windows at the front
and sides, and \\'atchic, when his cares
permit, lies on the piazza or at the to ) of
the stairs leading to the baseiiicnt (l(l0I'.
But he liasift much spare time—(). no!
I)oes little Miss Todlekins, his iiiistrc.ss, go
out to give her big wax doll an airing in
its baby cart. Watchie walks solonmly
beside her and her conli<lciilial friend, littlc
Eugene, unless where there is not roofii.
then he walks by the cart with big, honest
eyes, which say plainly. "I can take care
of this party,—flon‘t crowd tlfcnil"

Is the candy shop visited by the friends
—witli a penny grasped in each fat. little
hand? Then with curly tail waving in air
like a flag. the faithful guardian waits out-
side.

lhit \\'atchie, like us human folks, gets
sadly puzzled sonietinics. Little Todlekins
was taken away for a few days visit, and
\Vatchie walked solemnly around to find
her, and every day waited iatiently for
h0u1's_. (poor fellow) at little Iuugcnc‘s door
thinking she might be tliei'c. Does Miss
Nelly, his young lady mistress. go down
town. her progress is sadly hindered by
the big paws of hei' faithful attcndcnt tread-
ing on her trailing dress.

\\'hen Todlekins was very tiny,-just
lefirning to walk, in fact she used often to
fall flown: then with the utmost gravity
would \Vatchic take her little petticoats in
his great mouth and carefully set her upon
her feet. But his greatest glory is when
the whole fainily—there are only five,
counting him too—go on the street to-
gether, he always finishes the procession,
laughing as only good doggies can, showing
every tooth in his head.

V\'hen I go "down street” he comes to
meet me, and we walk together till we
come to his own gate. Then I let him in,
and he says “good-bye" with his eyes, and
Todlekins looks through the bay-window
at “the lady who loves our 'Watchie.”—-

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

 

The inefficient cliarzictcr of much of our
public service is usually attributed to the
coiiti'olliiig influence of bad men in politics.
Ilndoubtedly there is much of truth in this
belief. Ilut the mere fact that many cor-
rupt and inefficient men are in politics and
hold public offices is not the real or final
reason for the condition of the public serv-
ice. \\'hy are not more strong, honor-
able, reprcscntzitive citizens in politics!
This question is often answered by thought-
ful people b_v saying that our politics rep-
resent. not our best national life. but our
avcragc political coiiceptions. There is
good 1‘(::l>_i()1l for this view. The very
cliaraictcr of our country as :1dcii1ocr:1cy
prcdic:itcs :1 govcrnnicnt which, if true to
its origin. is rcprcseiitive of the people.
Hence we sli011lde.\'pect that the frailties
and we:1k11esses, as well as the honor and
virtue, of our people will find expi'cssioii
in our public life. The strength of our
governiiieiit lies in the belief that the
honor and virtue of our people are more
potent than their frailties and weaknesses.

 

But the question naturally arises, in
actual. practical politics, do not the more
ignoble traits of our democracy dominate
to an extent unwarranted by their relative
strength in our private and business life?
In other words, is not our public life on a
lower level that is our private and business
life! “'1: confess that this seems to be the
fact. It certainly is the popular opinion
on the subject. One explanation for this
condition of affairs is that the “good" peo-
ple are unorganized. Reform efforts are
carried on in a “hit and miss” style. V\'e
have often asserted and firmly believe that
“organized good can whip organized evil
every time.” But the forces of evil are
either bold when organized or subtle when
unorganized; while the saints are often
either too cowardly or too simple minded.
The plain remedy is deliberate, high-mind-
ed organization, and ersistent and_ cour-
ageous use of the mac inery thus built.

to clear the political atiiiosplierc

of impurities, and to decrease the influence
of the spirit of selfisliiiess which we have
been inveighing zigaiiist.

 

There is one plank in the Republican
national platform that we can discuss with-
out fear of getting into :1 partisan and un-
grangcr-like row. That is the declaration
that “we believe in an immediate return
to the free hoinestead policy of the Repub-
lican party. " \Ve do not know what
prompted that plank, and hence cannot
weigh its significance. At first thought it
would seem that so small a portion coni-
paratively of our public domain is yet un-
occupied that the enactment of such a law
would be of little consequence. But its
mention in the platform presupposes 
importance. It is therefore upon this sup"-
position that we discuss it. Our views
niay be changed by further enliglitenniciit,
but our present belief is that the home-
stead policy is rcsponsible for some of the
rashes and pimples, if not for the dyspep-
sia, that atilict the agricultural industry.
Our thought has been fixed by a recciit
tour in Northern Michigan.

 

In the first place we questioii the policy
of giving away land. There is no qucstioii
as to giving away francliises. There can
be no question that our wcaltliy l1iiiibcr-
men and mine owners have fed on the im-
deserved and unrequited bouiity of the
government. Is it any lic:1ltliicr, any safer,
anyjustcr, to give away land, oven for
homes! \\'c believe that the moral effect
is bad, to say nothing about the abiiscs of
the lioiiiestcad law. Then :1g:1iii, tl1c.lioi11c-
stead act has induced an abiiorinal 11tili—

zation and devclopnient of our agriciilturali

lands. Coupled with the iininigrzition of a
iiiultitude of foreign incoiiipetents. we be-
lieve it has helped to bring about the pres-
ent stagiiatioii in staple farm products. It
has created a spirit of i'estivciicss and dis-
content, the perpetual finding and losing
of an Eldora1lo. It has often settled the
poor laiids first. which by economic law
would be occiipicd last. Itli:1si1ianytiii1cs
ciicoiiragcd incompetent f:1rnii1ig, has
turned onto the soil tl1()IlS:ll1(lS of men who
will never make more than a bare living by
the plow, and was thus partly responsible for
the now happily antiquated idea that “any-
body can farm. "’ “'6: do not assuinc for a
moment that there have not been attendant
benefits. But we do believe that the free
homestead policy has enough :1rg1inients
against it to condemn it against further
resurrection.

 

The recent high school and college coin-
nieiiceinents are suggestive of a few
thoughts. There is a great increase in the
number of well educated young people.
Every year are turned out thousands who,
by reason of their training, ought to grow
into able and useful as well as cultured
citizens. It is especially noticeable that in
taking advantage of these opportunities
the girls predominate. \\'e wonder if the
fact that women are displacing men in so
many lines of work is not partially due to
the better education that the girls are get-
ting. This may be an unwarranted gener-
alization. Yet after all it seems a fair con-
clusion. If true it contains a significant
hint to young men who want to be heard

The most of
men are not 1illll1)S()1)llL‘l's who dig out
truth, but are men who iiiusf act the truth
as well. The schools sliould teach boys
and girls to do as well as to think. Self
made iucn so called are strong because they
have had to think and to pcrfor11i,:1nd both
strenuously. The ed11c:itcdpei'soii should
be able to think more cle:1rl_v and to pcr-
form more intelligently tl1:1i1 the 11ncducat-
ed one. If schools do not give this power
they are not educating, they are merely
stiiffiiig. Culture ought not to ine:111 loss
of power, but rather a great gain in power.
The cultured man should bealeaderin prac-
tical iiioveiiicnts. The question is not,
shall the state support higher education!
but is higher cduc-.1tion accomplishing its
true niissionf \\'e confess that it is not
doing all it ought. \\'c have tried to show
wherein it is failing.

The //uz‘[«m/l‘ is one of the iiiost level
headed papers in the country. It never
speaks without due consideration, and its
endorsement of :1 movement is pretty good
evidence that the promoters of the reform
are on the right track. \\'c take pleasure
in quoting the following from a recent
issue:

"Sen:1tor Mitchell. of Oregon, contrib-
utes to the June "Foriini" an c.\‘ha11stive
article on the election of Sciiators by a
popular vote. Ile urges strongly that
there is no more ground foriiiaiiitaiiiiiigtlic
indirect election of Senators by legisl:1toi's
than of retiirning to the indirect election
of Presidents by electors. The idea enun-
ciated by Roger Sherman in thc Co1istit11—
tional Convention that "the people iiii—
iiiediatcly should have as little todoas may
be about the governiiieiit" is displaced
among all classes by .\l:11liso1i‘s idea that
the go\'eriiii1cnt "should rcst on the solid
foundation of the people tliciiise-lies.“
The .V:iti(i1i:1l constitution, Senator Mitchell
iiiziintains, should be changed to h:1rn1o11izc
with the firmly established change in
i1:1tion:1l opinion. Apart from this broad
pliilosopliical rca.~:on for the direct election
of Senators, Senator .\litclicll urges others
even more convincing. Benton once innin-
taiiied that the only cllcctiial way of pre-
serving o11r govcrmnent was "to confide
the election of o11i' chicf iii:1gistr:1te to tliosc
who are 'fartl1c.<t rei11o'/ed from the influ-
ence of his 1)tlt1’()ll2lj_"L‘-—tl]:1l is, to the whole
body of .«\i11ci'ic:in citizens.” In :1 similar
way, says Senator Mitchell, it is now the
part of wisdom to confide the election of
Senators to the body furthest removed from
the corriiptions of wctilthy and unscru-
pulous aspir-.1iits. Senator Mitchell brings
no charges 1‘cspecting‘ the present strength
of moneyed infiuciiccs upon legislatiiies,
but urges that the direct election of Sena-
tors by the people is iiccessary if the dis-
trust of the Senate as the representative of
a class is to be removed. Senator Mitchell
further calls attention to the influence upon
state politics exerted by the presence of a
n:1tional issue in legislative elections.
Often, he says, every question of iinport-
ance to the state is forced into the back-
ground aiid legislators are chosen without
reference to anything but their senatorial
preferences. Senator Mitchell concludes
his argument by pointing out that the leg-
islatures of ten States have already memori-
alized Congress in favor of the proposed
constitutional amendment, that the House
of Represetatives has iiidorsed it by more
than two—thirds inajority, and that the
Senate committee on privileges and elec—
tions has this year reported favorably up-
on it. He therefore believes that public
sentiment is ripe for the reform. It is
needless to say that we are in entire agree-

ment with Senator .\litcliell's conclusions.
and would endorse them still i1iorclie:ii'til_v

The Redfern Bill.

liiiiron (i1:_\_\'i:l:1 \’i.~i'i‘oi:: I have read
with great interest thc discii.-.-ioii of the
Itedfern bill. I think Mr. \\'cbbcr is cor-
rect in his rciiiarksz it is not tlicig11or:iI1cc
of the people in regard to the results of
the use of iiitoxicaiits that is thc trouble,
for there is not :1 hamlet iinywlicre but has
its object lesson, and thc i1i:1sscs of the
people will not look at statistical liglit'es
anyway. I think judicious huvs that can
be enforced, the better way. I think there
should be some changes in the present law,
that would make them more easily enforced.

I will indicate some changes that I think
would be beneficial. First: the revenue
derived from the tax on the sale of liquor
should all go to the county poor fund, no
iiiunicipality should get a dollar of it. If
they did not get the tax they would not
grant so inany pcrniits, and when the
seller went contrary to law they would not
have the excuse for Iiot proscciitiiig him,
that he has paid us a lot of money to help
build our streets :1iid \\'zlll{S, and we iiiust
not be too hard on him. Second: the pun-
islinicnt for violation of the liquor law
should in all cases be iiiiprisoiiineiit. No
salooii keeper should be allowed to p:1y :1
fine. for that is no punislimcnt to lii111 for
a few gallons of water will soon pay it
back. lhit lock llllll tip for tliirty or sixty
or ninety days :1iid thcrc is real piinislimeiit.
Third: no person should be allowed to buy
liquor and give it to zinotlicr to be drunk at
the bar. I attribute ‘.111 per ccnt of the
evils of ii1tcinp'crancc to the habit of treat-
ing. .\ salooii kccpcr s:1id to inc once if he
was going to fr:1ii1e :1 tcnipcrlincc law that
he would prohibit ti'c:1ti1ig and would not
allow any furniture i11 thc room but thc
bar :1I1d stove. Such :1 room would not be
a plcasaiit place to loungc in and thc i1i:1i1
that wziiitcd :1 drink very bad. 1//u/ /u «/*mI/r/
//‘////(I it quite badly. before he would go in-
to such :1 place to gct it. would go alone
and gct it. At lt’:1.\l. our youiig pco ilc
would not go there and foriu :1 habit that
would be :1 curse to them all their lives.
No statistics or prohibitioii will cvcr stop
the use of liquor, and the only hope we
have is in restrictive 1111,-:1s111‘cs and iinikiiig
the coiunion use of it iiiipopiiliir.

Crimson Clover.

.Pl'e§5 Bulletin No. 9. Michigan Experi-

Returns from sevente , counties
in the Lower Peninsul indicate
that crimson clover passed the win-

during March this year was favor-

the last few days of that month and
the lirst week in April destroyed
some pieces that were in good con-
ditioii up to that time. On sandy
lands, particularly in the western
part of the state. crinison clover
which had a good start last fall lias

On heavy soils in exposed situa-
tions it has usually killed out. On
the College turn) several secdings

safely and are now looking fairly
well, while another piece sown
later on hcavy soil in :1 young
peach orchard is fully tln'ee—fourths
killed. the injury being inainly
done during the first week in
April.

The reports iiidi -ate that many
still practice seeding in the spring.
notwitlistanding that directions are
generally given to sow in suniincr
or early fall. The results from
spring seeding have, in some cases,

have been expected, particularly
when sown on rather low, dainp
soils, and cut for hay or pastured
before reaching maturity. In such
cases some pieces have made good
sunnner and fall pasture. The
best results on the whole, however,
have come from mid-suinnier seed-
ing, giving the plants a good start
bcforc winter. Last summer be-
ing very dry, many scedings failed
to catch, or the young plants died

We would again state that crim-
son clover is an annual and that its

it be depended upon for hay in this
state, the chances being especially
small when sown in the spring. As
a catch crop for fertil17.ing pur-
poses, particularly in orchards, it
possesses greater proniisc and in
certain favorable soils and situa-
tions it now seems likely to prove
of pernizment value. The follow-
ing abstracts of letters received
will give a fair indication of the
condition of this crop in the locali-
ties mentioned.

and thawing of March has killed
it all. Another piece sown the luth
of last Scpteniber on wheat has
also entirely killed out.

John E. Dunhain, Oshtenio,
Kalamazoo Co., April 19: I sowed
seventeen acres after rye about the
20th of August on sandy loam.
Part of the field is flat and the re-
mainder somewhat hilly. The
freezing and thawing of March
killed nearly all the clover on the
flat, but on the upland it stood the
winter very well. I notice that
where the clover completely covers
the ground the freezing and thaw-
ing has had less effect upon it than
where it Was sown more thinly.

light saiidy loam occupied by peach
trees. The clover was scarcely
two inches high at the setting in of

but little during that season. It
 now badly browned except near

it and Lake Michigziu. but even
where not seriously injured it is
now showing considerable green.

recovery.

R. Morrill. Benton Harbor.
Berrieii Co., April‘): I sowedtwo
acres about Scptenibcr 1. It made
a small growth last fall but lias
surprised me by coming through
in perfect condition. I feel that it
is valuable for our sandy laiids.

CHAPTER XXIII.
A LITERAIZY DISBUT.
After that serious accident Arnold \Vil-

befo.e he felt tit for anything. Meanwhile,
as is the wont. of sailor folk on such hard
voyages, he was left entirely to liiniself, or
scantily tended at moments of leisure by
his rough coinpaiiions. At last. one day,
more to still the thi-obs of pain in his sliatn .
tered right ha.iid than iinytliing else, he i

i

asked for the manuscript of his Venetian 5
cipher.

“Oh, thztt?” his iiiessiiiate said as soon

as Arnold had clearly e.\'pl;iined just what.
it was he wanted. "That bundle 0’ yellew
papers? I threw them out one day. A pack
0’ rublzi 'i. I tliou,-.:lit 'twan’t notliiiig.'‘ -

“\\'li:it? Tlirrw l[- overlioarrl?" Arnold .3
exclziinied, tiiken aback iind horrilled at I
such V£l!lIIZtlI.<lll. ,

The l1le>':‘il1l.‘lii£ nodded. “Yes. th’ old .
yaller un,” he :inswi-r<-il. "'I'heni loose
sheets. all torn an stained, if that's what
you mean. They want up to much. I i
didn’t set, Ill) .~:.iore by ’ein.”

“And the notebooks?” Arnold asked,
with that little tremor of fear which comes ‘
over one when one fancies the work of
months may have been destroyeil or ren-
dered useless by some casual piece of un-
thinking carelessness.

“Oh, the notebooks! No; not them.
They’re safe enough in yonder,” the sailor
answered. nodding bzickw:-ird toward the
locker by the bunk. "I [ll0ll_‘__'llI they were
more like, and I didn't chuck ‘emf’

“Get them out,” Arnold cried nervously.
“Let me see them. I want them.” It oc-
curred to him that in his pl’e$€llD necessity
he might be able to make soniethiiig out of
his painstaking tl'£ll1Sl‘<l.t-lOl.l even if the orig-
inal manuscript. itself had really perished.

The sailor broiight them out. Arnold
glanced through them rapidly. Yes, yes,
they were all there, quite safe, and as the
drowning man clings to the proverbial
st-raw so Arnold \Villoughby in his need
clung to that precious manuscript. He
laid it carefully under his pillow when he
slept, and he spent a. large part of his wak-
ing time in polishing and improving the l
diction of his translation.

\V'hen at last they returned to Dundee,
Arnold found he had to go into hospital for
n fortnight. No sooner was he out again,
however, than he made up his mind, maimed
hand and all, to go up to London and look
out for Kathleen Hesslegrave. The impres-
sion printed upon his brain by that episode
of the icebergs persisted with double force
now he was fairly ashore again. Should he
not give his one love at least the chance of
proving herself a truer woman than he had
ever thought her? '

He went up to London by sea. to save ex-
pense, carrying his precious manuscript of
the Elizabethan sailor. As soon as he
landed he took a. room in a. small lodging
house in the seafaring quarter. Then he
set to work at once to hunt up the London
directory so as to discover if he could where
the Hesslegraves were living.

He knew nothing, of course, of Mrs. Hes
slegrave’s death, but he saw by the direc-
tory that she was no longer ensconced in
the old rooms at Kensington. The only
Hesslegrave now known to the big red vol-
ume. in fact, was Mr. Reginald Hesslegrave

"I am Mrs. l{essle1_;rave,”Florrie answer-
ed, with dignity. Five foot two can bellig-
nifieil when it ni.-ikes its mind up toit.

Arnold started It little. “Then I suppose
you must be .\Ir. Reginald Hesslegrave’s
wife,” he €.\'Cl£lll'll(‘(l, taken aback. “I
didn’t know he was inarried.”

“He’s not been inzirried very long,” Flor-
I'ie admitted, with her pretty, coquettish
smile, which recent niisfortunes had not
entirely clouded. “Did you want to see
Reggie? He’s just now come in, and he’ll
be down in a minute.”

Arnold took a Seat and waited, but he
couldn’t resist the temptation to ask at
once meanwhile the latest tidings of Kath-
leen. Floi-rie had by this time acquired
from her husband a consideriible dislike of
that hard hearted ivuiiian, who wouldn’t
marry a. rich ni:iii—sucli an easy thing to
do——on purpose becaiisc she didn't want to
be of use to (l(‘il.I‘ llezgie. so her answers

came down indeed she had made her po- :

she made some little e_\'L-use to leave Ar- ,

er expect to reckon Rufus Mortimer as my
brother-in-law elect before many weeks are
over.” And this last remark, so far as Mr.
Reginald’s own expectations were con-
cerned, could not be condemned as wholly
unt-ruthful.

“Are they engaged then?” Arnold asked,
quivering. His worst fears were confirmed.
Failing the earl in disguise, Kathleen had
flung herself into the arms of the Ameri-
can millionaire as next best among her
chances.

“Well, not exactly engaged, don’t you

Arnold \\'illoiighby's heart sank like

ever since that zifternoon in the ice clian- :

nel, he had che-rishell day and nir_;ht a sort
of irrational, iiistiiictive belief that after
all he was mistaken, and that Kathleen

Very well. then, tlizitis settled." Mr. St:1n—

 carelessly by his side, and filling it in rap-

nier, it would be ii pity for him to intrude ,

Mor-

fortzible. Money was what; she wanted,
and if Kzitlileen wanted it—-

Even as he thought that hard thought‘
he broke off in his own inind-suddenly. No, ‘

no; it wasn‘t money she wanted, his beati-
tiful, innocent. Kathleen—of that he felt
certain. And yet, if she really nieziiit to
marry Rufus Mortimer, it was at least his
duty not to step in now between the pros-

himself could do.

As soon as he was gone Master Reggie
turned philosophically to Florrie and ob-
served, with a smile: “I settled his hash, I
flatter myself. He won’t bother her any
more. I’ve sent; him about his business.
And a precious good thing for herself, too,
if it comes to that, for just fancy a. girl
like Kitty being tied for life to a fellow in
sailor clothes. and badly cut at that, with
no right hand to brag about!”

But- as for Arnold, he took his way sadly
down the crowded streets, with the last
remnants of a heart well nigh crushed out
of him.

However, as long as a man lives he has
to think about his living. Bread and cliet-se
we must have, though our hearts be break-
ing. Next day accordingly Arnold called

, at a well known firm of publishers in the

city, Stanley & Lockliart by naiiie, to ask
whether any decision had _vet been arrived
at about the niaiiuscript translation from
an Itllllilll original be had sent. them by
post. from Dundee a fortnight earlier.

The senior partner, an acute looking man
with very little hair on his head to boast
of, gazed hard at his visitor.

“\\'ell, yes, Mr. V\'illoughby,” he said,
with a dry business smile. “I’ve looked at

ported on it-. and I’m free to tell you we
think very well of it. lt’s one of the most

I brilliniit bits of historical fiction we‘ve had

submitted to us for a long time.”
“Oh. I beg your pardon,” Arnold inter-
posed. C()l0l'lll_L{ slightly. “I think you're

laborin<_: under :1 niiszlpprchension. Have I

script."

"Yes, yes," Mr. Stanley broke in, smiling
still more broadly. “I know all that, of
course. It’s adniir.-ible, admirable. Noth-
ing could be better done. Falls in exactly
with the current taste for high spiced and
stroiigly il£l\'()l'€Ll histrirical romance, with
ii good dash of blood.-lied, and tlieintroduc-
IlOl1lt>‘t‘lf is one of the best parts—so cir-

iiiiioceiit, ziir of truth and sincerity.”

"But it is true, you know,” Arnold cried,
annoyed at being doubted, which was the
one thing a man of his sensitive honor
“I found the

quiet, self re rained smile. He was accus

should propose to do is to buy the copy-
right outright from you. And as this is a
doubtful venture by a new author, suppose
we make you an offer of £50 for the manu-

Arnold’s heart gave a. wild leap. Fifty
pounds! \Vhy, as tiiidgs now went, ’twas a
perfect Pactolus! On £50 he could subsist
for a twelvemonth. Since he ceased to be.

valuable consideration, handed it across
forthwith for inspection to Arnold. “Is

pen.

“Quite ri,r;lit,” Arnold answered, “except
that of coiirse you mustn’t say ‘\Vrit.ten by

Tile publislier gave a short sniff of sup-
presseil inipzitience, but drew his pen half
lin;.rrily throiigli the peccuiit words.

“There. ‘Will that satisfy you?" he asked.
And Arnold, glzincing at it, took up the
proffered pen and signed his name at the
‘ bottom.

Mr. Stziiiley drew :1 check and handed it
over to him. Arnold scaniied it and hand-
ed it back.

“I'm afraid this wont do," he said. “It’s
crossed, I see, and I happen to have no
banking iiccount. Could you kindly give
me one drawn siniply to bearer?”

“No biinkiiig acv aunt?” the publisher

“You for;_:et that wzi all in the manu-

lisher waved his hand zigaiii. ’Twas' an im-
patient \\'£l\‘t‘. There ivzis reiilly no dealing
with a fellow like this, who told a lie and
stuck to it.

“Ali. true," he mused reflectively, with
the sziiiie curious smile. “\\'ell, .\lr. \Vil-
loughby, I should say you have a great fli-
ture in fiction before you.”

Arnold hardly knew whether to accept
that reiii:li-k its (1 coniplinieiit or otherwise.

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

JULY 2, 1896.

Greece liens

Iughain county Pomona Grange held
a‘ very interesting meeting at Felts
(xrange Hall,June 12 and 13. An ed-
ucational program was most excellent-
ly arranged and carried out. The
house was well filled at each session
and universal interest prevailed for
the topics were of great importance to
all. The address “The School House
as a Center,” by D. E. McClure of
Oceana county, was well delivered and
greatly appreciated by a well filled

ouse.

Snciii-:r.:ir.v.

Resolutions passed at the last session
of Ingham county Pomona Grange.

Whereas, the interests of the public
schools are second to no other interest
in our country and should receive the
attention their importance merits, and

Whereas, the work of Commissioner
D. L‘. McClure of Oceana county as an
educator has proven him to be the
friend of the rural schools. a promoter
of their best interests. therefore be it

Resolved, by the Pomona Grange of
lngham county in convention assem-
bled, that we believe his nomination
and election to the oilice of superin-
tendent of Public instruction would
be for tlte best interests of education
in our public schools.

Resolved, That we respectfully ask

the Republican State Convention to‘-

Dlace him in nomination for the ollice
of Superintendent of Public liistruc-
tion.

As Portage Grange .\'o. in has had no
report for a long time in the \'isi’i‘o‘i:,
we wish to state we are alive and do-
ing business at the old stand, PRO iioxo
l’l"l%Ll(,‘0. June is we conferred the
4th degree on two candidates prepara-
tory to our meeting with Moiitour
Grange. which by invitation we held
with tiiem at their Grange hall on
June 13 in the beautiful village of
Scotts, Kalamazoo county. About 75
Patrons gathered in their commodious
and elegantly decorated hall at about
10:30 a. m. on that beautiful .lune Sat-
urday. Grange was opened and con-
ducted in form in the 4th degree in
the forenoon. A beautiful dinner at.
one o’ clock was furnished by the ladies
of Montour Grange in the spacious
basement of their building: they did
not forget ice cream, cake and straw
berries in the list of dessert. It would
be superfluous to attempt to specify
the different articles in the makeup of
that dinner, it was simply immense.
In the afternoon an open meeting was
held for the discussion of questions for
the general welfare of the farming
class evervwhere. These embraced
labor, taxation. representation and sal-
aries. space in the VISITOR will not
even permit a synopsis of the discus-
sions that afternoon. But we wish to
note one resolution introduced by Bro.
D. T. Dell of Vicksburg,—and wliicii
passed almost unanimous‘.y.—reeom-
mending a change in our State Consti-
tution, and the enactment of a law
embodying the main feature of "the
initiative and referendum,” so much
advocated lately.

There were in addition to .\1ontour
and Portage Granges as a whole, rep-

resentative members from Vicksburg ’

and even Parkville, in St. Joseph
county. The discussions were iiiter—
spersed with music both vocal and in-
strumental. Everybody enjoyed it im-
mensely, and went home with a better
appreciation of the precepts of our
noble Order.

We are half way through another

have failed of fruitage. that the latter
half may be benefited by both success
and failures.

The Review of Reviews for .luly _ is :i ;-‘trout:
political number. The portraits of prouiincul
men of all shades of politics are numerous and
interesting. and the editorial coniineiit on the
present situation is luminous. The Review is
the only monthly which is able to keep fully
abreast of all political movements and
‘changes. it is never caught mapping. The
action of the St. Louis Convention on Ih_e 1-‘th
of June is already history to the Review of
Reviews which -.i.ppears on the first day of
July: indeed. that action had been definitely
and accurately predicted in the number of the
montb previous. The Review has shown such
possibilities in political inagaziiic .iourniili-iii
as had not been dreamed of in the ptiilo.-,-opliics
of the magazine editor of the convciitioiizil
type.

IMPARTIAL FRANCHISE-GIOLDEN RULE
OF POLITICAL EQUALITY.

Little more than a century ago the
individuality of man was second in ev-
ery way to his relativity. There were
vassals, serfs, slaves, soldiers and sail-
ors, toilers on the land and toilers on
the deep.

The masses of mankind were every-
thing indeed but men. This century is
witnessing a similar transformation of
ideas concerning women. The world

has always valued women relzitively as .

daughters, sisters, wives, mothers. Now
they have an individual as well as a
related life. They are, in short, becom-
ing I't‘COg1ilZt'd as human pt-rmnnlities,
owing an allegiance to their own nature
as well as to the claims of those about
them.

I have been told by niissiotiarics that
often among a people so simple hearted
as the .-\I'11l£‘lllullS the man is wont to
say \\'lll,'ll the siiggestion that the wom-
en folk should lt‘2ll'l1 to read is made to
him, “My wife; is so much C'lf'\'t‘1'(‘I'

see that it is only by uushackling the
merciful hand of woman can they secure
power enough to carry to success their
measures of beneficence in a country
where the side always wins that has
most votes?

The general dictum of our opponents
is that every male enemy of the home
may vote if he keeps out of jail; every
wicked man who leads the sons and
daughters of the home astray may vote,
but no'one home maker shall vote in all
the land, bccsuise, forsooth, she does not
fight. But surely she who bears soldiers
need not bear arms, and when she votes
the pugilistic encounters on a large scale
that we call wars will cease.

In primitive days we had, the matri-
archate, which means the rule of the
mothers, and now for a painfully length-
ened period we have had the patriarch-
ate, or the rule of the fathers, but we
begin to see the dawn of the a.mphir-
chate, or the joint rule of a joint world
by the joint forces of its mothers and
its fathers. Happy are they who put
their willing. sturdy shoulders to the
Wheel of this white chariot of the sun.

ln the local columns he read of the case of a
certain person he had known years heft-rc_ hav-
ing been permanently cured of the complaint of
which his own «lt-iu ’lltL*I‘ was now sliffcriug, by
the use of Dr. Wi liiims’ Pink Pills for Pale
People. He had often heard and read before
marvellous accounts of ‘the efficacy Of this
remedy but as no names with which he was per-
sonally fainiliar appeared, he not only doubted
but positively disbelieved the statements: But
here before his eyes was apparent evidence
from one he knew. He therefore lost no time in
making assurance doubly sure and as soon as
he learned that the story was absolutely true,
he lost no time in procuring the Pink Pills for
his suffering daughter. This was on the Ifith of
September. Prior to this date and after con-
sultin doctors of different schools of medicine,
he ha taken her to the Homeopathic Dispen-
sary where her case was discussed. by all the
members of the faculty who unanimously de-
clared in the presence of the class that there
was no longer any hope to be held out as it was
a malady which, in this case at least, was in-
curable.

is zi permanent cure for all diseases resulting

peculiar to women. such as suppressions. ir-

this remedy is that there are no unp easam,

now rejoicing to know that they are cured.
Children may take them with perfect safety.

These pills are manufac ured by Dr. Will-

and are sold only in boxes bearing the fli-m’s
trade-mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box, or
six boxes for $2.50. and are never sold in bulk.
The public should beware of fraudulent imita-
tions. as many unscrupulous medicine compan-
ies have been making far inferior imitations.
