All members are invited to be present, whether you have been there the past six months or not. Evangelist Vernon's sermon on the "Meanest Man in Town," delivered at the Methodist church Sunday evening to men oiily, was an able discourse.

The Citizens of Hoisington and I do not know that the prodigal in Scripture would ever have been reclaimed had he not given up his idle habits and gone to feeding swine for a liuing. '-Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her- ways and be wise, which, having no guide, overseer or ruler, pro-videth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest." The devil does not so often attack the man who is busy with the pen, and the book, and the trowel, and the Haw, and the hammer. He is afraid of those weapons.

But woe to the man whom this roaring lion meets with his -hands in his pockets. Do not demand that your toil always be slegant and cleanly and refined. There is a certain amount of drudgery through which we must all pass, wdiatever be our occupation. You know how men are sentenced a certain number of years to prison, and after they have suffered and worked out the time, then they are allowed to go free. And so it is with all of us.

God passed on us tha sentence, "By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread." We must endure our time of drudgery, and then after a while we will be allowed to go into comparative liberty.

Rev. Dadisman and family have taken rooms with Mrs. Schilke for the winter. In the midst of the general rejoicing over a national victory, wholly unexpected in its overwhelming proportions, the Democracy can well afford to indulge a sympathetic thought for the lonely president of the United States, who surely finds his domestic affliction much greater than tlie loss of the presidency. President Harrison is not a man who arouses enthusiasm in the masses or inspires it in individuals, but he has been a clean, faithful executive.

The campaign of the opposition was not waged against him, personally. No word of scandal was whispered against him throughout the great political struggle, and the decisive battle was fought upon the great issues of the hou r. It was the issue and not the man that turned so maii3r states from the Harrison column of 1888, and thousands and thousands wdio voted against President Harrison, the Republican, have turned in sympathy towards Benjamin Harrison, the man. It is unusual that so crushing political defeat follows so soon upon personal bereavement. He will return to the scenes of his earlier suceass, to find his horae left desolate.

There is no doubt that the present low price of wheat operated strongly against the Republican party among the Western farmers.

It is not highly complimentary to the intelligence of our agricultural fellow citizens that they should allow their votes to be influenced by a fact so utterly foreign to politics, but it is nevertheless true. but 011 the contrary tells him in plain statements of fact, but in an elegant, pleasant manner, that the smooth and easy road that leads to a better world is Clark.

If the barn has been neglected during the hurry of harvest, aud the farm implements and many useless things left in the way so that it is difficult to walk the length of the barn in the dark, the first job would be to clear up; put the farm implements in a corner out of the way or in seme safe shed; carry all the old, useless barrels and boxes to the wood house to be disposed of; rake off the straw and stalks for bedding and sweep up the chalf and scatter it on some buffalo wallows ia tiie pasture where the cattle-will prevent the foul weeds from ripening their Then the year's work can be begun on a clean start.

There is a genuine pleasure ia listening to the gospel when it is preached in such a common-sense way and manner.

Tiie public is tired of the old out-of-date, unpopular, unrecognizable, foolish notion of damnation and hell-tirestriking people crazy before they are born. Tlie Evangelist of this day is doing a power for good in correcting many evils of this character, by not coercing people, but by giving them the gospel in a plain, iiiatter-of-fact way, without much ado and brings men to Christ who will stand up for liim later on after the excitement has died away. Men who are turned from the wrong to the right road by gentle reasoning rarely ever forsake that path, but on the contrary the man or chiid who is coerced and beat over the head until turned into line will sooner later fail by the wayside. It is true, however, that- once in a great while the iesult is different, and then there is cause for rejoicing that a little coercing was used. 'Jlr.

There is'a question in vogue of making election bets, the loser to wheel the winner through the principal streets in a wheelbarrow or some ridiculous conveyance.

These processions are always attended by all tlie small boys in the neighborhood with tin horns, who succeed in calling the attention of the neighborhood pretty thoroughly to the foolish performance. The singular thing about this wager is the fact that the inner really gets the worst of it, for while the loser is at some inconvenience in doing the wheeling, his work at least, takes his mind off the spectacle he is making of himself while his companion in the wheelbarrow has nothing to occupy his mind which is, or should be, totally taken up with the absorbing thought that he is making about as much of a monkey of himself as it is possible.
