But now I know It I but wait It all will come out right Though Vice may don the Judge's gown, And play the censor's part, And Fact be cowed by Falsehood's frown, And Nature ruled by Art; Though Labor toils through blinding tears And idle Wealth is might, I know the honest, earnest years Will bring It all out right. Though poor and loveless creeds may pass For pure religion's gold; Though ignorance may rule the mass, While truth meets glances cold, I know a law complete, sublime, Controls us with its might. And in God's own appointed time It all will come out right ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. An Ultimatum. BY WILL T. HALE. (Copyright, 1901, by Dally Btory Pub. Co.i Of the various companies working the Mill Valley phosphate lauds, the most popular among the employes was that of Thomas & Jay a fact chiefly due to the kindly deportment and Just Idea of its members. Walter Thomas, tne Junior partner, had gone from Sibley to Mill Valley and purchased a considerable tract, and as it proved rich In phosphates, he was soon on the road to fortune. A few months afterward be had sold an interest to Jay, who was in needy circumstances, although a capable business man. The esteem in which the partners were held was especially demonstrated dur ing the first strike of the laborers a week of rioting, called Black Week by some of the companies; for Thomas & Jay's men remained at work in spite of every effort made to bring them out A few days before Black Week Thomas announced that he was go ing to claim a month off, averring that he needed a change. "That's all right, of course," said Jay. "But I trust your health Is not failing, Waldo?" "No," replied the latter. "There are rumors that many of the men are dissatisfied with the scale of wages; do you think you can get along by yourself if they go out?" "I think I can. The truth is, I have no fears as to the course of our em ployes. I trust you will return re juvenated, so to speak." There was something In his part- Ths Colonel protested, aer's tone that caught the attention of Thomas. He looked up and noted a droll look on his friend's features. "Come, now," said Thomas, slightly Irritated, "what Is the meaning of that horrible look?" "Is It horrible?" Jay laughed. "It was Intended for a look of commisera tion. Look here, Waldo I'm on! Will yon consider mo presumptuous If I volunteer a little advice?" "Wstt la It r' was as much at Thomas would agree, drawing at his ; tfSar wltii unusual energy. ' - "Appeal to Miss Lovell's fear. If reesocJag accomplishes nothing," be CU Jajr. "I do not always sanation ALL WILL COME OUT RIGHT the methods of young Lochlnvar but old Colonel Lovell's objections to those who seek his daughters In mar riage has become chronic At least. In this case, he has no right to ob ject. I suggest for once a run-away match." Jay had correctly surmised the cause of his friend's discontent Love af fairs are more difficult to be kept se cret than the schemes of armies. All the parties concerned were residents of Sibley, and the unsuccessful woo ing of Thomas was known and dis cussed by the gossips, though the young man was blissfully Ignorant of the,, talk. Thomas wag handsome, prosperous in his present undertaking, if be had not been before in other enterprises, and was the soul of honor. He had, however, at least two reasons for be lieving In the assertion of Joaqulm Miller, that "I tell you that love Is the bitterest sweet That ever laid hold on the heart ot a man." One was that Colonel Lovell was unalterably opposed to his marriage to his daughter, Mary; the other was that Mary, while confessing her love for Thomas, was averse to becoming his wife without the consent of her father. Two of Colonel Lovell's daughters had been compelled to elope, for their lovers met no favor in his eyes. His wife considered them with more favor, and when she asked him timorously why be opposed them, had to put up with the reply, "Just be cause I am, and that's sufficient" The truth was that Thomas was in need of a little advice at the time his partner made his suggestion. Like a drowning man, ready to grasp a straw, he listened with patience to Jay, now that the subject hsd been mentioned.- He very naturally asked: "What do you mean by appealing to the young lady's fear?" "Simply this: Tell her with all the resolution you can command tbat you propose asking her but once more to listen to love and reason; and tbat if she remains obdurate, you are go ing away with the firm determination to forget her. I am quite sure this will bring her around she's a wom an, you know! Then when she con sents, let the next thing be a wedding before the old men can change her by appeal or threat." Thomas felt that this was the dernier resort, and he would adopt it If it should fail, be would be In no worse condition than at present. He accordingly repaired to Sibley. While there vacillating between his resolve and trepidation, and almost decided to press his , suit no farther, be received this letter from his part' ner: "The men have gone out on their threatened strike at last tbat Is to say, all save ours. An ugly feeling prevails. The companies are trying to get other laborers by train, but the strikers declare they shall not work the phosphate beds If Uiey come. I fear trouble. Both aides are equally determined, but the sheriff appears to be In sympathy with the laborers. Hare you delivered that ultimatum yet? Be sure that you do not let your courage oose out at the last moment It la sure to work. "WILLIAM If. JAY." This decided Thomas. He had aa Interview with Miss lmli at which must have proved satisfactory. for that evening he wire nis psnaoi r as follows: "Will arrive by 4 o'clock train, ar at latest by 4:40. Have Rev. Whit man at City Hotel." Jay smiled, notwithstanding the ser iousness of the tabor situation, and went about putting things in readi ness; then waited impatiently for the earliest train. It was delayed, for it wag crowded with Uborers coming to take the place of' the strikers, and there came nigh being a wreck at one place. At last the 4 o'clock train hove in sight, but Just behind was also the 4:40. What If Colonel Lovell naa learned of the elopement and followed on the latter? The mob of miners urrou nded both trains, and refused to let any one get out There was s great hubbub, and it was made wors as nen in charge of the laborers suc ceeded in breaking through the cordon of miners. There were two or three shots fired, and, rushing to the win dow, Thomas saw that Colonel Lovell had got out of the hindmost train and was making frantic efforts to reach the one in which he and Miss Lovell were. The old gentleman was very red in the face, and he was not using the choicest language as the strikers endeavored to check his advance. After the report of firearms sounded, Thomas heard the sheriff demanding to know who had made matters worse by such a resort to violence. "See that old gentleman yonder with the long gray hair and side-whiskers?" said Thomas quickly, directing the sheriff toward Colonel Lovell. "He is the man most to blame; arrest him, and I think comparative quiet can be secured." The sheriff rushed off and selied the colonel. The latter protested, but bis protests were ignored. He was dragged off by a deputy at the sug gestion Of the sheriff, and was soon out of sight; though before he disap peared he shook his fist at Thomas, who knew by that that lie had been seen, and that the sheriff had in all probability i'.vsa. tne name of bl ac cuser to the old gentleman in durance vile. Late that evening, while Thomas and his bride were sitting In the par lor of the City Hotel, Colonel Lovell came in In custody of an officer. He bad recovered from bis rage, and there was a grim smile on bis face. "The fool sheriff does not seem to "The sheriff doesn't seem to know me!" know me," he said. "I guess. Thomas, you will have to become bond for my appearance before the magistrate to morrow. I don't want to pass tha night In Jail!" Took Him at Hit Word. A Cbtcagoan tells a most amusing story of an incident in the experience of a newspaper friend of his. The friend was city editor of a great daily, and In the course of his manifold du ties it fell to his lot to take to task one of his reporters. The reporter in question was an Englishman, slow of thought and action and miserly ot speech. Through the tirade to which be was subjected he said nothing, and when it finally ended he lefj. the pres ence of his superior without any com ment. But, as the result proved, he did some tall thinking. City editors when "riled," aa is well known are not particularly choice or economical in the language they bestow on their unfortunate reporters, and among oth er things the Englishman had been told that he was no better than In fact, was a crazy man, and tbat his proper habitat was a lunatic asylum and not the ball bedroom of a Chicago boarding house, which be occupied. Tbe Englishman took bis part of the city editor's remarks as his text and acted upon tbem. He promptly went to an asylum, had himself thoroughly examined by three or four alienists, and secured from them an official cer tificate to tbe fact that he was sane. With this he appeared at the office of bis paper tbe next day, and, entering the city editor's sanctum, be slapped It down "before his astonished and dis mayed superior. "Now, you go and get one," was bis only comment, and for once that city editor capitulated.

California's Oiled Boadbede. The practice of oiling roads to Veep the dust down was begun In California a few years ago and Is extending to several parts of that state.

I'll Pi iiq THE SASOlw "V. . jj. ONE OF THE NEW Wl ar-Alf CANADA DISTRICTS. The Onm Advaatacse of Where tha gatt U ef Caea an pied VerUUtv. During the past year or two a large number of American settlers (those) going from the United States to Can- , ada), have made homes In the Saska toon district In Western Canada. Thar have found the climate all that could he desired and tbelr prospects are of tbe brightest In writing ot It a cor respondent says: The lands for sala are choice selec tions from a large area, and every farm la within easy distance of a rail way station. Experience hasshown that this district enjoys Immunity from summer frost, from cyclones and bill iards. The South Saskatchewan, flowing through the tract. Is one ot the finest rivers In the country, be ing navigable and having an average width of stream of 1,000 feet i The agents of tbe Canadian govern ment whose advertisement appear elsewhere In your paper and who will be pleased to furnish full information, tell me tbat within the limits of the tract there are two distinct varieties of solL One la a rich blsck loam, and the other Is a somewhat lighter loam, containing a small admixture of asnd. There appears to he no appreciable difference between the fertility of these two kinds or soil. Both are alluvial In their characteristics, both are mar velously productive, and both rest upon a subsoil of clay. Tbe ad vantage of this formation Is that it retains the heat ot the day during the night, and Is favorable to the early maturity of crops. Every kind of crop will here attain the highest per fection ot quality. Tbe land Is admir ably adapted for stock-raising and dairy farming, aa well as growing grain. Some Idea of the richness of the natural grasses of the prairie may be formed from tbe fact that mors than 200 tons of bay were gathered, within a short distance of Saskatoon and stored up for use during the win ter. A growth so luxuriant demon strates beyond all possible question tbe suitability of tbe land for pasturing cattle, and no doubt this Important In dustry will be largely carried on. Nature has been lavish In her gifts to this territory. Not only is the soli of unexampled fertility, hut the climate is delightful and healthy. Such is the testimony of every settler, and this testimony is confirmed by enthusiastic) opinions from every traveler, explorer, missionary or newspaper correspond ent who has ever visited this far famed Saskatchewan Valley. In form er years vast herds of buffalo came here to winter from tha elevated storm-swept regions south of the United States boundary line, proving thereby the adaptation of these rolling prairies to the purpose of raising stock. The land Is dry, with sufficient, but not excessive rainfall, capable of early cultivation In the spring, and free from summer frosts. The config uration of the country renders artifi cial drainage unnecessary, and pre vents tbe accumulation of stagnant pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen. The days of summer are full of sun shine, under tbe genial Influence of which crops rapidly ripen. Autumn is characterised by an almost unbroken succession of fine weather, during which the crops are safely garnered. In winter It la cold, but extremely ex hilarating and pleasant, owing to tha wonderful dryness and bracing quail ties ot the air. The winter is a source of profit as well as enjoyment to the people, being tar healthier than a humid climate. Water and fuel these two prime necessaries of life are plentiful throughout tbe district Probably the majority of clergymen are poor because they preach without notes.
