FERGUSON’S SAVING PRAYER
From the Seattle Press-Times.
Away back in the early sixties Mr
Ferguson was defending a man ac
cused of beating his wife. The case
was on trial before a justce of peace,
probably the same justice who de
cided that stealing a sack of pota
toes out ot a canoe in the river was
“piracy on the high seas.” The
accused was convicted and the jus
tice promptly sentenced him to be
hanged.
“But you can’t hang a man for
beating his wile/’ expostulated Fer
guson.
“The devil I can’t,’ ’ said the jus
tice bridling up. ‘’Ain’t he guilty?
Ought not any man be hung who
would beat a woman and that wo
man his wife? And ain’t I
the only judge in this county? If I
haven’t got the power to hang a
man who has, eh? I'll hang him
within an hour, won’t we boys?”he
concluded addressing the crowd
standing around, whose sympathies
were evidently with the woman.
“That we will” shouted the crowd.
Seeing that the case was begin
ning to leok serious for the client,
Ferguson said:
“Well, your honor, I’d like to take
him out behind that big tree and
pray with him before he is hanged/’
“All right,’* said the justice, and
•flf went the prisoner and Ferguson.
When they got behind the tree Fer
guson said in an undertone :
“Now git you d—d hound.’* And
he got.
THE WRECKERS OF SOCIETY.
A somewhat famous woman in
Now York, who is explaining
through tho newspapers her reasons
for obtaining a divorce says: “I
have never hesitated to fight when
attacked. I would almost sooner
be accueed of murder than of bad
taste.”
Such women are the wreckers of
•ocietjr. They make impulse their
supreme law and love the notoriety
that comes from the publication ot
their love affair* in divorce suits.
They never hesitate to fight when
atiacked, but sweet, modest women
•U hesitate and silently bear a great
deal that is unpleasant, rather than
to go swaggering through the col
umns of the public pres*. This
New \ork woman would almost
sooner be accused of murder than
of bad taste. She will have to bear
the latter accusition. Such silly
**nd reckless talk is worthy of the
frivolous ladies of Marie Antion
ette s court who used to say : After
us, the deluge. The deluge came
*nd swept them a ay.
We talk of bank wreckers, t orpor
ation wreckers, bnt we have in these
days a more dangerous class—the
wreckers of society. Men and wo
men who defy public opinion and
lightly assume that bad taste and
blunders in etiquette are as repre
hanaihlt as anything that is forbid
den in the decaiogue are ei gaged,
whether they know it or not, in a
crus ads against morals ar.d dea n

ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE.
We made some remarks in our is
sue of Jane 23rd which brother Mc-
Candless eaidwas so misleading that
he must reply. Well, we did not
like to put it as bad as it was but if
it mutt come, the truth is there was
a falling of! at the ware houe of 60
per cent and at the only other ware
house in Jackson there was a gain of
20 or 25 per cent. ‘"The great
Christian principle’’ in this business
eems to be the same one actuating
Wall street, viz: to get afellowH
mony and keep it. Say Mr. Mc-
Candless, does the Alliance believe
in keeping the monev as much as
possible in the hands of the peo
ple? Of course it does. But it is the
other fellow, that i 3, the one that
hasnt the money that believes that.
Now my friend surely does not
mean to “throw oft" on brother
Bennett because the old man joined
the People’s party in his old age,
Brother Rennet had a perfect right
to do that if he thought it was best
and still he an Allianoeman. No.
you see the brother Bennetts are
turning the grindstone now and
they have ground out about four
thousand dollars, one thousaud of
which they want disbursed, but the
great Caesar says no, drive on.
It is not this money that should be
kept in the hands of the people, its
the other money. “Gee Mike/’
He further says something
of “gaP and then asks
who are these Caesars who have de
cided to disburse? Now so far as
“gall” is concerned we are willingly
ignorant. Those who have decided
this question are the tub-alliances
in electing their members of the
Board of Directors. Without any
gall in it we would ask who else
could say? The truth is the people
will do as they please with it wheth
er those who have gotton all thb
cream and who desire more cream
wishes them to or not. This dictito
ative spirit which is determined to
rule or ruin has always ruined in
the past and the probability is that
lawyers will get a slice as well as the
receivers if the wool hat brother
Benuetts can have no voice in * his
matter. The state Alliance Ex
chcngeis a fair sample ol what
would be the result of a commercial
investment of the surplus funds.
\Y hat we need to do is to pay ofl
the certificates of stock by which
we can take up those certificates
that have fallen into other than aN
liancernen‘B hands and issue other
certificates bearing interest payable
annually and transferable to Al
liarcemen only. Then we could
build a business as permanent as
the hills and the order would be
strengthened and solidified until 12
or 15 thousand bales of cotton a
season would be an average vears
work, whereas, this bohe of content
tion will gip the very life of our en
terprise if it is persistently held in
hulk.
Under the rules governing the
warehouse, section 10 reads : That
the dividends accruing on stock be
paid annually in cash. Set tion 5
provides thot all profits on stock
and certificates shall be shared by
all alike. Now do you
think # that a man with
brains enough to grease a gimlet
would let his money work for noth
ing and the stockholder draws out
12 per cent on his money anu then
come in for an equal division of
the co.-operative fund. Any
man knows that a capital stock of
$5,000 which would encumber the
property to its full value as well as
exhaust the surplus would not do
any business. But you say we
would use the notes as collateral to
buy goods, which is using the
brethrena’ credit and they simply
have to put up a bonus of $5,000 to
get what they already have. viz. a
credit.
We dout neeo money as we do
customers, nor us much as we do
cooperation aad uniiy, for coopera
tion is capital. We need to build
ourselves and not our business".
There is but little money needed to
run a tannery and if the brethren
wish to experim at on a tannery
it w !l iot in any way interfere
with disbursement.
Let every brother in the order
know that he will draw his money in
July, however little it is, ardyou
will see such a swarm of wagons
around the Warehouse as was not
reached in the palmiest days of the
order .So stand to voir rights bre?h
ren,and ask for voui money, which
s bound up at present in ron
interest bearing certificates, and
I*et the wide world wag as she will.
But well be gay and happy -till.

ROBERT.
The three year old stallion
weighing between fourteen and
fifteen hundred pounds is 15-16
Clyde. He was sired by a thor
oughbred Clyde, in a dam 3-4
Clyde. He is perfectly sound
and trained to work in single and
double harness. Ho is a dark
chestnut brown, bail faced- The
Clyde is superior to the Norman
in that, while he has all the Nor
man’s draught qualities he can
travel with any other breed. He
was brought by me to this state
from northern Illinois for my
own use, but owing *0 a change
in business I have decided to sell
him. I would prefer someone
would buy him who would keep
him in the community, for it
there is any thing we need here
it is better stock on our farms.
For further information call on
me at the old W olfe place one

Fox-Terriers and Elephants.
The visitors to the Central Park
menagerie, New York, often won
der why fox-terriers are always to
be found in the enclosures with
the elephants. It is simply because
if they were not there the rats,
which are many and large, would
eat the feet of the elephants off.
The elephants are chained, and
when they lie down they cannot
keep the rascally rodents from
gnawing at their feet. So a fox
terrier is kept with them, whose
business it is to see that the rats
are driven away, or to kill as many
as possible. The elephants appre
ciate the dog, too. Lately the rats
began to gnaw holes in the thick
hide of a rhinoceros. So a terrier
was placed with this beast, and in
one night killed twenty-seven rats.
Rats are one of the greatest pests
which the keepers have to fight.

“Tell all you can about breathing,”
He said, ‘‘Breath is made of air.
We bieath with our lungs, our
lights, our kidneys and liver. If it
wasi/t for our breath we would die
when we slept. Our breath keeps
the life going through the nose
when we are asleep. Boys that stay
