In Its earlier singes the club had been
likened by a witty and observant wo

couipluluts. "Hourlng Camp" was still

Eric Langdou'a case had excited pro

Torrauce the less they liked them and
the more they felt for Langdon. 11 ut
the antl-Laugdonltea, If out actually In
iue majority, were iuosi in evtuence,
for they at least had organization and
energy. Conscious of the growing
feeling for Larrgdou and against them,
they were seeking every opportunity to
heup further obloquy on his name.
They turned up duy after day with
some new story at hla expense for the
truth of which they declared some reli
able person was ready to vouch, and as
their hearers bad no Information on

to look Incredulous. It was one even

had been holding forth at some length
and most of the cavalry crowd had
slipped awojr to the card or billiard
room that at lust oue of the troopers
who had long feigned not to hear any

from the screen of tho morning palter
and drawled:

. "Melville's too soft hearted to refuse
to answer his letters," answered Tor

begging letters, anyhow." "
"They're not," said the trooper,
" 'cause I've seen 'em. As to being soft

Nathan hastily.

WHIXkKT AND UAKUH MY KIJIX.
A man took his own life In Spok
ane last week and left the following
epitaph:
"To whom It may concern: Whis
key and card have lieen my ruin.
Bury my body any place; you can
not locate my relative. Life has
been a failure for me. I am better
dead than alive."
Whiskey and cards were not the
ruin of tbi unfortunate. They were
but the Instruments of hi ruin. We
do not blame the word and tho can
non for tbe horror of warfare, be
cause reason tell as that war and
battle spring from imperfect human
nature. There were war Iks fore the
invention of cannons and swords,
and weak nature would' court de

distilled or card printed.

drunkard to tell him that whiskey

The world shonld preach a differ

Their own weak nature is at fault,

the development of their will power
