.Fetcll Her Ous.n

In California, twenty years ago, men
would flock in crowds to catch glimpse
Of that rare and blessed spectacle, wo-
man. Old inhabitants tell how in Q GER
tain camp, the news went about early in
the morning that woman was come!
They had seen a calico dress hanging
out Of wagon down at the camping
ground-sign Of emigrsnts from over
the great plains. Everybody went down
there, and q shout went up when IN
actual bona fide dress was discovered
fiuttering in the wind. The male emf
grant was visible. The miners said -
,"Fetch her QUIT" He said: .It's my
wife, gentlemen, she is sick and We have
been robbed Of money, provisions and
everything, by the Indians-we want to
rest" Fetch her out!' Thst was the
only reply. He .fetched her out" and
they swung their hats and set up three
rousing cheers and tiger; and they
crowded around and gazed at her, and
touched her dress, and listened to her
voice, with the look Of men who listen
ed to q memory rather than present re-
atty; and then they collected $500 ia
gold and gave it to the man. and swung
their hats again and gave three more
cheers, and went home satisfied.

How 20 MAKE Bllschies.

Keep your eye on your neighbours
Take care Of them. Do not let them
stir without watching, They may do
something il you do not To be sure
very bad, but it may be on your own
account they have not Perhaps II it
had not been for your kind care they
might have disgraced themselves long
ago. Therefore do not relax any effort
to keep them where they ought to be-
Never mind your own business-that
will take care of ITSELF There is man
passing along-he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious of him; perhaps
be contemplates stealing one Of these
fine nights; there is no knowing what
queer fancies may have got into his
head. II you find any symptoms Of
any one passing out OF the path OF duty,
tell every one else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. 1t is Q
good way to circulate such things,
though it may not benefit yourself, OF
any one particularly. Do keep yourself
going-silence is dreadful thing; it
| is said there was silence in heaven for
the space of half an hour; do not let
any such thing occur on earth; It
would be too much for this mundane
sphere. gf4eis

Jsnsonby,s Failure.

A discussion in the Jonsonby house
as to who should get up and light the
kitchen fire terminated in favor of Mrs
Jonsonby, who got up and olawed Mr.
Jonsonby by the hair and pulled him
over the footboard, crowded him out of
the door and jammed him down the
stairs before he could get his eyes open.
"If you would like TO spend the winter
in Bulgaria, DEAR said Mr.. Jonsonby
at the breakfast table. speaking as pleas
antly as he knew how, and with a faint
glow OF hope lighting his face, II will
buy you q ticket and get you all the
clothes you want" ssAnd where is Bul

sharply. "It's q famous European wa.
tering.place; heaps Of company there
just now, l hear; most OF 'em going to
stay all WINTER" replied Jonsonby with
a guilty sinking of the heart. Mrs. Jon.
sonby said she'd find out something
about the place before she decided
whether to go there or TO the Centennial

A Piea For Noise.

"Oh, Johnny" said a nervous moth.
er, ''do have some pity on my poor
head. Can't you play without shouting
so?"
Poor Johnny drew up the tape reins
with which be was driving two chairs
tandem, and called out in loud, hoarse
whisper: "Get up-who!" But 1t
length, finding little pleasure in this sup
pressed amusement, he threw down his
reins, and, laying his hand on bis breast,
said, with long breath: 10 mother,
its full of noise in here, and it hurts me
to keep it in! Don't all little boys
make noise when they play?"
"Yes, Johnny, believe they all do,"
replied the lady.
"Oh, then, dear mother" cried John
ny in whining tones, "plesse to let me
be little boy"
We will join poor Johnny heartily in
this petition. Please mothers, let your
sons be little boys while they may.-
Time is bringing on apace life's tolls
and cares. Let them have q free and
happy childhood, that when your heads
are low in the grave they may point
back to those days and say, 1--WE were
happy children, for there was always
sunshine where our mother was"

Room For More sheep.

Last year we paid foreign countries
s50,000,000 for wooden goods, and ell.
100000 for manufactured goods
When we have in this country twenty
millions more sheep than we now have,
we shall only produce what wool We
use; and yet there is no country on
esrth where it would seem sheep could
be raised so proftably as 10 the United
States. But we are coming every year
nearer to supplying our own markets
with the wool they demand. In 1875
the wool clip of the country was nearly
zoo, 900, 900 pounds, while in 1860 1t
was only $4,000. 900 pounds. = National

then have to look to the United States

A Boys Way Of stating Things.

often inelegant, is generally nervous.-
Example: A lad at Easton, Pennsylva.

70 repeat the word, and said:
"Don't you mean arnica, or ammo

@What is it for p asked the druggist
"Can't tell" said the boy, starting
slowly out When near the door bright
idea illumined him, and he turned and
asked the druggist:
"If your wife hit you on the head with
chair leg, which of them medicines
would you get to take the swelling
DOWN."
"Arnica"
"Then ill her in ten cents WORTH re-
piled the boy: and he gazed lovingly at
a big stick of licorice as the arnica was
being bottled.

The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million an1 half in use. The
most durable and lightest ruuning.machine in
the world. AS an evidence, the Singer, REM
iugton and Wheeler g. Wilson were invented
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day the Singer has over one
million and a half in use, the Wheeler & VIII.
son has about We hundred Thousand and the
Remington has the small, insignificant num-
Der of five thousand nine hundred and fly
three, which can be seen ON the upper end of
the needle burr, which makes the Remington
the last Choice OF the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number ha.
they not sold them under a fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine COM
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences
Fifteen years ago the third day OF July, / was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with G
friend by the name OF d. II. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler & |
Wilson aud the Remington. Tho Wheeler i
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his |
machine TO sell it or Its own reputation, but /
the Remington agents confidence failed him, |
and he attempted to sell It as the improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while was SELL |
ing the Howe, happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. lie had as
little confidence IN his machine as the first |
one l met, and he attempted to sell it as the |
improved Howe, and l have been creditably |
informed that the Remington agents are sell |
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved |
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to bay the |
Remington are welcome to, but deem it my
duty to inform tho good people OF the South
west, through the columns of your paper, SO
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma
chimes. \ machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the /
merits OF machine that has been long tried |
and proved, without doubt, the best in the |
world. The impositions offered are Of the
deepest dye. w. MASON,
