THELY0N COUNTY TIMES
BOYS IN BED,

:
Whoever has lifted the curtains
of boys alcoves, soon after their
inmates have gone to bed, and has
looked lovingly in, has seen a pref
ty sight. Generally their faces are
lying most restfully, with hand I'M
der cheek, and in many cases look
strangely younger than when awake,
and often very infantile, as if some
trick of older expression which they
had been taught to wear by day had
been dropped the moment the
young ambitious will had lost con-
troll. The lids shut over bright,
busy eyes; the air is gently and
evenly famed by coming and going
breaths; there is a little crooked
mound in the bed; along the beds
foot, or on a chair beside, are the
days clothes, sometimes neatly
folded, sometimes off in a hurry;
bullying with. balls, or, in the lesser
fellows, marbles; stained with the
earth of many fields where wood
chucks have been trapped, or per-
haps torn with the roughness of
trees on which squirrels have been
sought; perhaps wet and mired with
the smooth black or gray mud from
the marshes, or the oozy banks of
streams where muskrats have been
tracked. Under the beds foot lie
the shoes-one on its side-with the
gray and white socks, now creased
and soiled, thrown across them;
and there, in their little cells,
squared in the great mass of night,
needless how the earth whirls away
with them or how the world goes,
who is thinking of them or what is
doing at home, the busiest people
in the world are resting for the
morrow.
THE Springfield Republican,"
foreshadowing the election of Will
liam Sharon, the great capitalist, to
succeed Senator Stewart, says that
Nevada, having the smallest pop
ulation of any State in the Union,
will have the two richest, and we
do not know but we may say also
the two ablest, men in the whole
United States Senate"
Coon ADVICE. When you use a

WHILE Mrs. General Rawlins was
dying at the Railroad Hotel in
Cheyenne, the statue of her hus-
band was being unveiled at Wash
ington, in presence of the Secretary
of War and many other persons of
note.

standing and position.

TRAPPING.

It is notable coincidence, and appa-
rently designed, that at this time, when
men are in need of nearly everything
and especially of some winter employ
ment, there should he an unusual num-
Der of fur-bearing animals in all our
lakes and ''slews'' and that prices
should he unusually high. Since cold
weather set in, nearly every man and
boy who can buy a ''Newhouse trap"
is busy trapping. From Round Lake
to the Kanaranza, it is unsafe for any
animal from a muskrat to a fox to step
outside Of his hole. The principal bus
mess IS done Ill muskrats, which are al
most as thick rs the grassloppers were
last year. Muskrat skins are worth, in
this market, from Is to IS cents, and
mink skins bring from ST 25 to 50 50.
From Humiston & Stockdale, who are
buying furs, and from others, we have
gathered q few facts of interest,"
Messrs. Law and Dillman have taken
about 500 muskrats. From the large
g slew - near Bigelow, we learn that
from !, 900 to l 800 rats have been taken.
Mr.. Parsons, within few weeks, has
sold $50 worth Of skins. Mr.. Lambert,
in three weeks, took several hundred
muskrats and two or three mink, real
izing about $40 for his three weeks trap
ping. These are only a few of the more
prominent examples of successful trap
ping of which we have heard. If the
rat crop should hold out, the winter
will yield 4 larger return to our people
than the Summer. We are informed
that about 10000 skins have already
been shipped, and the trapping is just
fairly commenced.

THE ALDINE.

We invite attention to the ADVERTISE
ment of the Aldine Company in another
column. We have no doubt that all
they claim is strictly true. They have
made picture-printing a fine art, and
are scattering fine engravings broadcast
over the country, for a song. The De-
cember number of the Aldine contains
four colored engravings which are
worth framing and worth twice the
cost of the number. 1t abounds in
other beautiful engravings and reading
matter of high character.

NEU1SP-aPERIC

The Sioux Falls Independent and the
Sibley Gazette come to us changed from
folios to five column quartos. This
change gives more reading matter be-
cause it enables the publisher to have
six pages printed abroad, leaving but
two five column pages to be gotten up
at home.
These changes are made necessary by
the hard times, especially in the grass
hopper region, for business men cannot
advertise literally nor can the people
afford to give such support to their
home papers as they ought to give and
as they will give in better times. For
our part, we are determined to fight the
ADVANCE through in it's present form.
1t will involve great deal of hard
work, but we believe the public will ap-
preciate our efforts and will reward
them with Il liberal support hereafter.
Let us all put our shoulders to the
wheel, and help the wagon through this
grasshopper Slew" and we shall have
smooth wheeling after one good crop.
