A FAilURE.
It is a sad tiling , this losing
, _ . . _ - out .in Hfc.
Out of all thc years since time
began , out of all thc years that
j are to come , this is your only
chance on this old gray carth. If
. . . , . _ . -
. . . . . you have lost you cannot retrace
I . your steps and try again. You
.
arc down and out. Your one
, < < chance is gone forever and for-
J c\'er
' 'I : ever.There arc med grown old who
arc sour and crabid because of
II I their own failure. Their ac-
I quaintances cannot suit them
I unless they also fail. To such
1/ / mien , success in another is thc
. cardinal sin.
; It is pitiable
j . 'T ' Imere arc men whose existence
has been centered on some ambi-
i ti0l1 , and because of their own
mistakes , thc ambition has failed
of accomplishmcn
'rhcrc arc men whose whole
ItC. l
i ; : lives have been spent in the
I search for office Men who ha\'e
bartered every political principle ,
, and violated every precept of
" party creed for the sake of
political prefcrmcnt. Men who
: . . . . have belonged at one time or an-
other to every political party that
I . has had an existence , and have
been of course , a candidatc for
j . . , . . . office in every party to which
they have bclonged.
I The end of such an individual
may be foretold from thc bcgin-
ning. No party can or docs trust
him. No party organization will
I , _ own him. Hc is a political Ish-
I maclitc.
Ii' C . . , - It must he rather rough on a
. : man to be denied membership in
: ( , a political organization. If it
were a church Ua. . lodge it would
bc easier to cndurc. Not many
men have faced such a proposition -
_ tion as that.
:1 : But there arc men who arc so
situated , and they arc sour and
pessimistic poor fellows. Sonic
of them are too old to try again ,
1 so they try to drag the other fellow -
, . . . low down , and thus make their
f . . . . ° .
rJ. own failure less conspicuous.
, I Sad , isn't it ? _ . . .

1 _ ALFALFA.
: , _ . , . " In a ride cf fourteen miles last
, , Sunday , I saw but one farm that
; " ; - ' had no alfalfa field. This won-
. " dcrful plant is springing into
tea' universal fa\'or. and it is entitled
.
, , '
to all thc attention given it.
Nothing that the farmer raises is
t superior as a fccd. It is as good
i \ . as a mcdicinc. One of thc lecturers -
, turcrs at the late institute said
1 I
. .
that it contained every ingredient
and was far superior to the bcst
stock food. It is wonderfully
prolific and will restore the nitro-
gen in thc land nctrly : as well as
clover. A farmer told mc Sun- .
'
day that he cut his alfalfa four
times last year. That he sold
the third cutting for enough : to
net him five dollars an acre for
his land , and with the hay from
the other three cuttings hc win-
tcrcd all of his stock. I saw thc
stock and it was as fat as though
it had been fed grain all wintcr.
If you have no alfalfa on your
farm , by all means sow sonic
about August or Septcmber.
Easter with its holy signifi-
cancc is soon to be celebratc }
Some will go to church , some will
blossom out in new finery and all
of us will eat cggs. There may
be other days of christian celebration -
bration that arc more enjoyable ,
but none so wonderful. This I
mighty mystery called life is
springing up around and about us. I
Another summer is cOll1in _ ! ! ' when
nnn
thc old earth will grant its great
harvest to feed and perpetuate
thc sons of men Spring's resurrection -
rection is taken by us as a mere
matter of course , without a
thought of what it means , or of
thc wonderful force which makes
it all possible "Oh Lord , what
is i man that Thou art mindful of
him. "

So far as the telephone . situation -
tion is ' ' ' '
concerned The Tribune
docs not feel it ncccssary to run
down every ugly rumor. It stated
week before last that no deal was
made between this paper and thc
local company. \Vc now reaffirm
that statemcnt. No truthful man
will say there was. So far as thc
News and The { Tribune is con-
ccrncd wc will say that wc have
never tried nor wished to injure
the business of that papcr. The
statement of thc News that wc
had is gratuitous and untruc.
If there were as much hard
work clone for and in thc churches
as there is in destroying some one
cls ( 's reputation this would bc a
better 'odd The above quota-
tion is taken from thc Falls City
Journal. In reproducing it .vc
feel that the humor of thc situa-
tion is sufficiently apparent to
permit us to refrain from com-
m cn 1.
In order that everybody may
understand our position , we say ,
what it should not bc necessary
to say , that the city campaign
closed on Tuesday evening , April
4th. Mr. Leyda is our mayor and
wc are with him on every propo-
sition looking to thc improvc-
rent of Falls City.
If you want to see prosperity
just look at thc farm houses and
barns on thc road to Salem , beginning -
ginning with Will Holt's and
ending with George Coon's.
