An excerpt from a letter from Il. C.
Walker, published in the Pioneer of 2Sth
among other things, says: at is not such
40 easy matter to pass the bill iu the house,
as some people in the Hills seem to think,
and will tell you now, that unless We are
supported here by the people in the proper
way. we will fail to get the bill passed this
session, no matter what any one msy say
to the contrary. for l am fully aware Of
We wish through the house of representa-.
tives.' What does the gentleman mean BY
being supported by the people in the prope,
way? ,
The "proper way" in this case Is for the
supporters of the measure to quit lying and
confine themselves to facts.

SQuATTER rights are to be tested in
Dakota. It seems that Mr.. Dalrym.
pie bought some railroad land in that
region, and broke the Government Sec
tons intervening. Now actual set
tiers are taking possession Of those
tracts by entering upon his wheat
fields, building and otherwise making
improvements. Rather rough on
Dalrymple, but good for the settlers
and also for the country, by giving a
chance for iona fde settlers, and pre-
venting monopoly speculation in lands;
the depressing results Of which are
shown in portions of this section. but
nowhere more than in Sherburne Co.
In this same connection, we clip the
following from one Of our exchanges,
which shows that the same evil ex.
tends even as far west as Manitoba.
"There are now more coming from
Manitoba than are going there, and
those returning as a general thing
complain about the curse Of land grab
bers who have now control Of the
best lands in the province. The same
complaint holds good in our own
country, and it will be but "A few
years until the people Of the United
States will see the error of allowing
our national domain to pass into the.
hands o. a few land owners and cor.
pOrations.

IS THE HOLY DANCE"

The negroes in our neighborhood are
in the habit of occasionally INDUCING
in what they call Il holy Dance"
This is not confined to the young alone,
even the middle-aged and gray haired
participating in these orgies. The
deacons and elders of their churches,
and sometimes the venerable minister,
trip with them the light fantastic toe.
1t is called the holy dance, because that
special instrument and friend of the
devil, the fiddle, is not used at these
merry makinss. Sometimes small
tamborine, more frequently a tin pan,
accompanied by good whistler, are
called into requisition. These capers
are not altogether for fro1ic, but we are
informed have n religious character.
1t is part of that Voodooism and fanat-
icisrn that ciings to the negro us an in
separable African inheritance.-AShley

could carom with them. He could
hold a postal card out at arms length
before him, read the address with one
eye and look around the end and read
the message on the other side with the
other, and watch a man trying to
climb in at the car door behind him,
all at the same time. He left the SER
vice because he always had to go to the
door on the other side of the car to see
the station.-iX. Louis Times.

CoURTEsY.-Probab nine-tenths of
the happiness you will ever have, you
will get at home. Some of you will
get pleasure in the theatre, and some
of you will get delight in the church;
but happiness you will find only at
home. The Independence that comes
to man when his work is over, and
he feels he has run out of the storm in
to the quiet harbor of homo where he
can rest in peace with his family, is
something real. 1t does not make
much difference whether you own
your house or whether you have only
one little room in that house, you can
make that one little room Il true home
to you. You can people it with such
moods, you can turn to it with such
sweet Gancies, that it will be fairly
luminous with their presence, and will
be to you the very perfection of n
home. Against this home none of you
should ever transgress. You should al
ways treat each other with courtesy.
1t is often not so difficult to love a per-
son as 1t Is to be courteous to them.
Courtesy is of greater value and /, more
royal grace than some people seem to
think. If you will but be courteous to
each other, you will soon learn to love
each other more wisely, profoundly,
not to say lastingly, than you ever did
before

ANECDOTES OF SCHOOL GIRLS.

Recently in pleasant chat with one
of our worthiest and most accomplish
ed lady school teachers, she related !
many incidents Of her long experience |
in the schools, some of which were
comical indeed, but lose much in repro
duction. To appreciate them you must
hear her ringing and cheerful voice
when she laughs over these ludicrous
episodes.
"Why," said she, "I had given my
girls (and many of them are in their
teens already the selection of their
own subjects for the weekly compost
ton. One of them, a well grown
miss, when the appointed time came,
marched boldly to the centre Of the
room and began in shrill voice to
read composition on Chickenv Well,
thought I, the subject is prolific one,
but when she read, Hens lay eggs and
then lay little Chickens thought 1
would die a-laughing. I fairly roared
whilst the poor dumbfounded child
went to her seat. On the same day the
lesson in geography gave me another
occasion to laugh until I could bear it
no longer. wanted to refer to the
gunpowder industry of the little State
of Delaware and ventured to ask one
of my big girls tF'or what manufac-
tories is Delaware celebrated p She
vainly scratched her head for an an
swer. sWell,' resumed, 'what would
blow you up p "a cow was the meek
repiy-and the recess bell came to my
relief. Speaking of cows, animals
was the subject of the composition of
another of my girls, and this is the
way she edited the school: Il like all
kinds of animals. like dog if I
cannot have q dog will have q cat
ssAnd," said I, s'if you can't have IA
cat you will have a dog"
She simply grinned assent and pro-
ceeded: az like COW. Cows give
milk and butter and cream cheese.
That's all have to say about animals"
"You may we'll understand" said
our teacher, ttthat I did not exact any
thing more"
One day after tho lesson in history,
wishing to impress my pupils with the
heroic courage displayed by Christie
pher Columbus ON his voyage of dis
covery-a quality which did not dis
tinguish his men-I asked one of my
brightest chirpers ssEmma, what did
the pilots Of Columbus, who had charge
of his charts, lack in?" There was a
long pause. "Well," I said to help
her out, "wbat do you need togo alone
In the dark ?'' Pupil with confidence,
stA CANDLE" After composing MYSELF:
ssBut," said I, sssupposing you couldn't
get light ?" "Wouldn't go !" she re-
piled, with a determination that pre-
cluded the idea of insisting further.
