SIGNS or URNING PROSPERITY.
The immense crops of wheat which
have rewarded the toll of the farmer
are a certain indication of prosperity n
all branches of business. That this is
the opinion of business men, is fully
demonstrated by the fact that our
wholesale merchants are having an I'M
usual number Of calls, and sell larger
bills than at any time during the past
wear. Similar reports reach us from
New York and other points OF sup
ply, and we accept this fact as a
most certain evidence of returning
prosperity. Many branches OF busi-
ness which have been suspended dur
ing the summer, will be revived
during the fall, and by next spring ev-
cry wheel and spindle will be III mo-
ton. There can be no doubt of this.
The prosperity of the farmer is the
prosperity of everything, and there
was never a more prosperous season
for those engaged in agricultural pur-
| suits than the n now drawing to a
close.-10ledO Blade.

water, and asked her what her name was.
"Kitty," said she.
"Kitty," he said, "and what else?'
"Kitty," she answered; nor could he
find out more.
"Whose Kitty are your"
"Your Kitty" she said, for she had
known her father but that one day, and
now she believed that Burton was he.
Burton sat up that night, and stuffed
wood into his patent little stove, to keep
the baby from freezing to death. New
er having had to do with children, he
firmly believed that Kitty, sleeping
snugly under blankets and buffalo robes,
would freeze we're he to let the fire sub
| side in the least.
As the storm prevailed with undated
fury all the next day, and as he dared
neither to take Kitty nor to leave her
alone, he stayed by her all day and stuff
ed the stove with wood, and laughed at
her droll baby talk, and fed her on bis
cult and fried bacon and coffee.
On the morning of the second day,
the storm had subsidized. 1t wa 40 de-
grees cold, but knowing that somebody
might be mourning Kitty for dead, he
wrapped her in skins, and with much
difficulty reached the nearest neighbor's
house, suffering only a frost-bite on his
nose by the way.
"That child" said the woman to
whose house he had come, "is Zones.

Burton looked ut Kitty a moment IN
pe~rplexity. Then he rolled her up again,
and started out, "~travelin' like mad,
the woman said. She watched him.
When he reached Jones, he found
Jones and his wife sitting in utter
wretchedness by the fire. They were
both sick from grief, and unable to move
out of the house. Kitty they had given
ND for buried alive under some snow
mound. They would find her when the
spring should come and melt the snow
of.
When the exhausted Burton came IL
with his bundle of buffalo skins, they
locked at him with amazement. But
when he opened it, and set out the little
Kitty, and said,
Here, Jones, is this your kitten?'
Mrs. Jones could think of nothing better
to do than scream.
And Jones got up and took his OLE
partner by the hand, and said, "Burton

KIT'TYS FORTY.
By EDWARD ~EGGLESToN.

By EDWARD EGGLESroN.
1t doesn't do men any good to live
apart from women and children. l
never knew a boys'schoolin which there
was not a tendency to rowdyism. And
lumbermen, fishermen. sailors, and all
other men that live only with men, are
proverbially a balf-besr sort of people.
Frontiersmen soften down when women
and children come-but 1 forgot myself,
it is 4 the storF you want.
Burton and Jones lived in a shanty
by themselves. Jones was a married
man, bu. finding it hard to support a
wife in a down East village, he emigra-
ted to North Minnesota, leaving his
wife under her fathers roof, until he
should be able TO " make a start" He
and Burton had gone into partnership,
and pre-empted a "town-site" of three
hundred and twenty acres.
There were. perhaps, twenty families
scattered sparsely over this town site at
the time my story begins and ends, for
it ends the same week it begins.
The partners had disagreed, quarrel
ed and divided thoir interest. The
land was all shared between them ex-
cept one acknowledgements piece. Each
of them claimed this piece of land, and
the quarrel had gone sc high between
them that the neighbors expected
them to shoot at sight. In fact, it was
understood that Burton was on the
forty-acre piece determined to shoot
Jones if he came, and Jones had sworn
to go out there and shoot Burton, when
the fight was postponed by the unex'
pected arrival of Jones wife and chill
dren.
Jones' shanty was not finished, anf
he had to forego the luxury of fighting
his old partner in his exertions to make
his wife and baby comfortable for thu
night. For the winter-sun was sur
rounded by "sun-dogs." Instead of on
sun there were four, an occurrence no
in tins latitude, but on
which always BODIED a terrible storm.
In his endeavors to care for his wifi
and child, Jones Was Modified a littl
and half regretted that he had been 8
violent about the piece of land, but h
was determined not to back down, an
he would certainly have to shoot Blu
ton or be shot himself.
When he thought of the chances {
being killed by his old partner. til
prospect was not pleasant. He locke
wistfully at Kitty, his two-years'-o l
child, and dreaded that she should !
left fatherless. Nevertheless, he woul
not be backed down. He would shoe
or be shot.
While father was busy otherwise, Ii
tie Kitty managed to get the shan'
door open. There was no latch, and h'
prying fingers swung it back. A gu
of cold air almost took away her breatl
but she caught sight of the brown gra'
without, and the new world seemed +
big that the little feet were fam to tt
and explore It.
She pushed out through the doc
caught her breath again, and started
down a path bordered by sere grass al
dead stalks of wild sun-fower.

A BARREL with only n stave has
been invented. The stave is procured
by turning a steamed log the length Of
a barrel against a knife of the same
length, and cutting from the log a con-
tinuous sheet or vessel of the proper
thickness. This sheetis cut into length
of the circumference of o barrel, and BY
machinery is crozed or champered, and
by means OF a gang of saws saving Sits
into the ends of unequal lengths, the
size of the ends is reduced for the heads
and the proper bilge produced. The
barrel, when bound with the usual num-
Der of hoops, appears to be quite as
strong as the ordinary barrel.
