ALL WILL COME'
OCT RIGHT
Whatever Is a cruel wrong.
Whatever is unjust.
The honest years that speed along
Will trample in the dust.
In restless youth I railed at fate
With all my puny might,
But now I know if 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 geld;
Though ignorance may rule the mass.
While truth meets glauces 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.

(Copyright, 1901, by Dully Story Tub. Co.i
Of the various companies working
the Mill Valley phosphate lands, the
most popular among the employes was
that of Thomas & Jay—a fact chiefly
due to the kindly deportment and just
Ideas of its members, Walter Thomas,
the 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 he 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 da>'3 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?”
"1 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
1 he Colonel protested.
ner's tone that caught the attention
of Thomas. He looked up and noted
a droll look on his friend's features.
"Coni1' now," paid 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 you consider .mo presumptuous
If I volunteer a little advice?”
“What is It?” was as much ns
Thomas would agree, drawing at his
cigar with unusual energy.
"Appeal to Miss Lovell's fear, If
reasoning accomplishes nothing.” be
jan Jay. "I do not always aanetton
the methods of young Loehinvar—
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. 1 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 was handsome, prosperous
in his present undertaking, if he 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 Joaquim
Miller, that—
"I tel! you that love Is the bitterest sweet
That ever laid hold on the heart of 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 he opposed them, had
to put up with the reply, “Just be
cause 1 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 had 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 that you
propose asking her hut once more to
listen to love and reason; and that
if she remains obdurate you are go
ing away with the tlrm determination
to forget her. 1 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 man can change her by
appeal or threat ”
Thomas felt that this was the
dernier resort, and lie would adopt
it. If it should fall, he 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 Ills suit no farther,
he received this letter from his part
ner :
"The men have gone out on their
threatened strike at last—that 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 tiiey come. I
fear trouble. Both ;udes aue equally
determined, but the sheriff appears to
he in sympjjt^v with the laborers.
Have you delivered that ultimatum
yet? Be sure that you do not let your
courage ooze out at tho last moment.
It Is sure to work.
“WILLIAM M. JAY.”
This decided Thomas. He had an
tatonrkw wUJU Miss ionll at once—
which must have proved satisfactory,
for that evening he wired his partner
as follows:
“Will arrive by 4 o’clock train, or
at latest by 4:40. Have Rev. Whit
man at City Hotel.”
Jay smiled, notwithstanding the ser
iousness of the labor situation, and
went about putting things in rer i
ness; then waited impatiently for the
earliest tralu. It was delayed, for it
was crowded with laborers coming to
take tho 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 had
learned of the elopement and followed
on tho latter? The mob of miners
surrounded both trains, and refused
to let any one get out. There was a
great hubbub, and it was made worse
as men 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.
Arter the report or nrearms suuuueu,
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 seized the
colonel. The latter protested, but
his 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 he had been
seen, and that the sheriff had in all
probability given the name of his 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
had recovered from his rage, and there
was a grim smile on his face.
“The fool sheriff does not seem to
■‘The sheriff doesn’t seem to know

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 the
night in jail!”

A Chicagoan 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 of
speech. Through the tirade to which
he was subjected he said nothing, and
when it finally ended he left the pres
ence of his superior without any com
ment. But. as the result proved, he
did some tall thinking. City editors
when “riled,” a3 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 that his
proper habitat was a lunatic asylum
and not the hall bedroom of a Chicago
boarding house, which he occupied.
The Englishman took his part of the
city editor's remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum, had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists,
and secured from them an official cer
tificate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the office of
his paper the next day, and, entering
the city editor's sanctum, he slapped
it down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. “Now, you go and
get one,” was his only comment, and
for once that city editor capitulated.

“I did not think I could live a day
and suffer as I have lived and suffered
for months, with Sciatica and Rheu
matism. I used bath3 and liniments
of all kinds. Two physicians treated
me, one of them for two months. Noth
ing helped me in the least. I never
slept more than ten or fifteen minutes
at a time. I was bedfast and had to
lie on one side all the time. 1 used
to wish for death to dclivor me from
such torture.
“A friend suggested Dodd’s Kidney
Pills, and after I had used them a
week I began to improve, and in about
four weeks I could sit up in bed. A
few days later I walked a quartor of
a mile and back. I now do all my own
cooking and housework. The pain
has entirely left me and I am a well
woman. I have taken altogether six
teen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

ONE OP THE NEW WESTERN
CANADA DISTRICTS.
The Grrnt A<l»a..,n»sr*w of BettUmin*
Where the Soil !• of Unex
awi'^eU fertility*
During the past year or two a largo
number of American settlers (those
going from tho United States to Can
ada), have made homes in the Saska
toon district In Western Canada. They
have found the climate all that could
bo desired and their prospects are of
the brightest. In writing of it a cor
respondent says:
The lands for sale are choice selec
tions from a largo area, and every
farm Is within easy distance of a rail*
way station. Experience hasshown that
this district enjoys immunity from
summer frost, from cyclones and bliz
zards. The South Saskatchewan,
flowing through the tract, Is one of
the finest rivers In the country, be
fog navigable and having an average
width of stream of 1,000 feet. ,
The agents of the Canadian govern
ment, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere In your paper and who will
be pleased to furnish full information^
tell me that within the limits of the
tract there are two distinct varieties
of Boll. One is a rich black loam, and
the other is a somewhat lighter loam,
containing a small admixture of sand.
There appears to be no appreciable
difference between the fertility of these
t u ninua u l ouii, mmi uiu auufiiu
in their characteristics, both are mar
velously productive, and both rest
upon a subsoil of clay. The ad
vantage of this formation Is that it
rotaJns the heat of the day during the
night, and Is favorable to the early
maturity of crops. Every kind of
crop will hero attain tho highest per
fection of quality. The land is admir
ably adapted for stock-raising and
dairy farming, as well as growing
grain. Some idea of the richness of
tho natural grasses of the prairie may
be formed from the fact that more
than 200 tons of hay 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 the
suitability of tho tend for pasturing
cattle, and no doubt this important In
dustry will be largely carried on.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to tliis territory. Not only is tho soil
of unexampled fertility, but the climate
is delightful and healthy. Such is the
testimony of every settler, and this
testimony is aonfirmed 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 cams
here to winter from the elevated
storm-swept regions south of the
I nited State3 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, anil
free from summer frosts. The config
uration of the country renders artifi
cial drainage unnecessary, and pre
vent# the accumulation of stagnant
pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen.
The days of summer are full of sun
shine, under the genial influence of
which crops rapidly ripen. Autumn
is characterized by an almost unbroken
succession of fine weather, during
which the crops are safely garnered.
In winter it is cold, but extremely ex
hilarating und pleasant, owing to the
wonderful dryness and bracing quali
ties of the air. The winter Is a source
of profit as well as enjoyment to the
people, being far healthier than a
humid climate.
Water and fuel—these two prime
necessaries of life are plentiful
throughout the district.
Probably the majority of clergymen
are poor because they preach without
notes.
