they oil talked at once, and he could
hardly hear his own voice when he
spoke 10 tho horse. So they were left
to themselves, except that once, when
they were bemoaning their lack of
funds, ho said impressively: Save
your money, boys, against the time OF
need. Once lost you never can get il
again" No ono noticed this remark
except Ted, and it was so simply word
cd that he understood il, and accord
ingly, when they were passing the vii
lage store, he insisted on going in.
Presently ho came back to the buggy
with stick OF candy in each hand, and
another in his mouth. The last ho di-
vided between the other boys.
What do you spend your money for,
so near home2" asked the deacon.
"For candy"
The query was repeated with whT Z"
substituting what"
"Ohi" said Ted, scrambling up on
the seat. "'Cause you toll us TO look
out not lose it, an had one a them
nasty little th'ee.cent things, an l was
fraid I'd lose him, 20 spent him an
dot all this candy. Want some?"
Perhaps tho deacon was not thor
oughly satisfied with the result of hia
counsels, but he made no sign.
About 10 o'clock that same evening q
man. who looked much like the deacon.
might have been seen leaving the city.
As he was passing the last street lamp,
q vehicle, going in the same direction,
slackened up and voice called, Halo,
deaconl Is this your Won't you
rider"
Why, good evening?" returned the
addressed, recognizing the chorister Of
his church. Yes, very glad to ride.
My horse was pretty tired, 90 walked
in tonight. How do you do?"
First rate. Seems to me you're ont
late tonight. Must have been to the
circus. Hal ha! hal"
We'll, TO tell the truth, l had ticket

use it. Had a little business in town
and had 10 como in. But, TO bo honest
-it--isn't "a bad as thought. l wish
you'd been there. Those horses arc
worth seeing"

sheepishly, "Icamc in to see about those

an idea that 'bareback'-rcferred to

the merits OF the different performers

When il leaked ont the next day, q,

said, with a gentleness that bctokened
a perfect hurricane:

Then he shut his hps together, and
they couldn't get another word from

quantity, and provide fully against
it's counterfeiting, it will have the
same currency value as gold, silver,
nickel, and copper, or any other sub
stance.
1t must be remmembered that,
legally speaking, money is not .
commodity; and commerce can only
make it such, by dealing with that
upon which the money quality is inn
pressed. Much has been said about
paper money, and gold, silver and
copper money; but all such language
is deceptive. Therefore, by the ine-
xorable logic of the foregoing
statements, legally speaking, there
is no such thing as gold, silver and
paper money, as the measure of val
ue is the absolute sovereign authori-
ty impressed upon, and attached to
that which is capable of taking and
retaining the impress of that author
ity. 1t is the recognized presence
of the sovereignty of state, in all
it's commercial transactions, between
it's citizens and in the courts, apply
ing the measure. As q medium of
exchange, it has no value, only as a
means to an end, but the sovereign
will recorded on it's face, and in re-
spect to it's use its value is as un
changable as the authority that Gre
ated it.

Does Flax Pay!

As a means of rotation we have
several times urged upon the atten-
ton of our farmers the Importance
Of flax culture, even if it were not
quite as profitable crop as that of
cur great staple, wheat. We clip the
following item on the subject from
the Freeborn County STANDARD,
viii h tells 4 good story as to profit:
"Mr. L. 7. Scott. of Freeborn town.
ship, brought in May last, 16O acres
of land Oh which there was 30 acres
improved (broken). 1t being the last
of the month (May) made it, of
course, too late for any crop but corn.
The idea struck him that fax would
do well. John NJ | e., Of Carlstor,
aud II. y. Burhans, of Alden, had
each 10 bushels of seed more than
they could use. Mr.. Scott put thi S
seed On the 80 acres, from which he
realized 100000, after paving for the
seed. We understand in Alden Vi
cinity alone there has been raised
and marketed about 5000 bushels.
Mr.. Scott says it is with the excep-
ton of threshing) the cheapest beside
the easiest crop he ever raised.

At this season of the year our prin-
cipal towns are full of horses from
other States, which meet with a ready
sale and at good prices. 1t is not
confined to st. Paul and Minneapolis,
but we notice like state of things
even in the country villages. In
Northfeld paper We notice that some
person has disposed of two car loads
of Iowa horses within few weeks.
He seemed to be doing large busi-
ness in that line, and was just about
to set out for another lot. This seems
to be about the way things stand all
over the State; nor is it confined to
the new settlements, as the above
case demonstrates. In St. Paul and
Minneapolis the yearly sales of horses
from Iowa and Illinois is simply i'm.
mense. Now we believe this is not
as it should be, when we claim to
have the greatest grass country in
the West. Millions of tons Of the
best kind of red top and blue-joint
are consumed every year by the
prairie fires. 1t is evident that our
farmers are too much interested. in
wheat growing, or we should depend
upon other States for horses. Many
are going into other stock, but few
make business Of raising horses

: We.could not imagine last winter
why it was that Mr.. Stacy was so
anxious to have adopted a new meth
cd for gradind wheat. From his
ia TX one would have supposed that
his zeal was all on behalf of the poor
farmer, but it seems it was not. He
had patent in view, known as the
Stacy Filler, that he wanted to have
utilized so that he could make his
fortune ont of it. Well, he is now
in Washington getting the letters
patent, and soon he will begin to
rake in the dollars at the expense of

\ bill was introduced in the house
yesterday which contains the true
solution of the Indian Territory
problem. 1t proposes to declare the
the unoccupied lands open to settle
mcnt under the homestead and pre-
exemption laws. Some such bill as
this should be promptly passed. 1t
is simple justice to the public and in
justice to nobody. The plan of sett-
ing aside a portion of territory as a
reservation for all the Indian tribes
of the whole country has been
thoroughly tested, with the result of
an endless series of failures and
blunders. The Indians who
f ormc crly lived in
the eastern States have been easily
enough transferred to the Territory
set as;dr for them: but those living
to the north and south, accustomed
to different climate and attached to
a country Of a different character,
have steadily refused to live conten-
tcdly in Indian Territory. They
have taken the war path rather then
60 there, as in the case of some of
some Of the Sioux; have broken away
and spread fire and blood among the
adjacent settlers after short season
Of confinement, like the Cheyenns;
or have been resigncdly exterminated
by fatal climatic influences, like the
Nez Perces and Pancas. All the III
dians who can or ought to live on
Indian Territory are already there.
They have strict legal title to the
lands they hold, which they can no
more be deprived of than their white
neighbors in adjoining States. But
there is still large amount of unoc.
cupied land, whose title still remains
in government. This should be in.
stantly opened to settlement under
the laws. If it is rich and desirable
as is represented, it will be rapidly
settled, and a valuable tract will be
added to the developed territory Of
the country. AS for the Indians re-
naming in the northern and southern
Territories, their own and the public
interest will be best served by provi
ding for them near their native home
or at least il the same latitude. Gen
Sheridan's last report hit upon ths
true solution of the Indian question
in recommending a number of sep
arate reservations, each fitted in eli
mate and surroundings to Its oc
cupants. This should be carried out
and the needlessly reserved parts o
the present Indian Territory opened
to white scttlers.-[Pionecr Press.

A correspondent of The Nlassa-

tree pruning ought to be done in
June, after the leaves have attained
their full size; then the wounds will
not bleed. and they will commence
to heal Immediately. When you
prume before the sap starts, when it
does start it will run out at the places
where the limbs have been cut off,
and kill the bark. That, he says,
accounts for the large number of
limbs, in good many orchards, with
about two or three inches of dead
wood at the ends with the bark nice
lv grown down around them.
