A BITTER TONGUE.

It is strange but true that some peo-
pie delight in saying bitter things to
their neighbors. You are never safe
with them. When you have done your
best to please, and are feeling very
kindly and pleasantly, out will pop some
underhand stab, which you alone can
understand sneer which is masked,
but which is too well aimed to be mis-
understood. 1t may be at your person,
or your mental feeling, your foolish
habit Of thought on some little secret
opinion confessed in a moment of gen.
uine confidence. It matters not how
sacred it may be to you, he will have
his fling at it; and, since the wish is to
make you suffer, he is all the happier
the nearer he touches your heart. How
much unhappiness do such mean at
tacks cause tender hearted men and
women.

It was upon South Carolina planta-

was taken with the Group, and DR..

called in.

and In few moments came running in
with the newest pole-ax on the planta-

Again the mother whispered to bring
the broad-ax, thinking that would do, as
it was bright and new, bought only a
few days previous, and never as yet used
in any way, and the servant disappeared,
and sooner than it takes to tell it re-
turned, presenting the glittering blade,
full front, to DR.. Trochee.

Here is story of pluck and foresight
which is worth telling to boys. Two
lads, Of about 20 years Of age, were
thrown out of situations in New York,
just at the time when the Messrs. Col
Inns were sending out laborersto open up
railway through Brazil.
"There is no actual trade said one,
"between this country and Brazil. Some
day there must be an enormous trade.
Somebody will make an enormous fort
une. Why not you and r."
The boys acted at once upon the idea.
One sailed to Brazil, and opened an
agency for American manufactures. The
other remained in this country, solicit
ing orders for Brazilian products, and
filing those obtained by his friend.
Since then, dozen others have pushed
into the field; but these young fellows
have the advantage of first occupancy,
and bid fair to. win success.
Most lads wish to grow rich. There
are two ways to accomplish their end.
One is by shrewd, far-sight ventures
such as this. Girard, when cabin-boy,
saw the importance of the West India
trade, and the aim of his business life
was to secure it.
Aspinwall put his finger ON solitary
bit of coast on the map, and said: The
current of commerce must strike there. -
He established line OF ships to it, and
his fortune was made.
A. 7. Stewart saw that the public de-
manded vast retail shop, where every
variety Of goods could be bought under
one roof at honest prices, and that was
the turning tide in his affairs. These
were not lucky hits. but the result Of

"Good-Bv! Vacation Is Overw

"Good-Bv! Vacation Is OVert'
Oh, SO much to say good-by to, when the summer
goes awayl
The sweet, glad days of summer that cannot longer
stay!
Good-by to fair green meadows, all starred with
daisies white,
And the graceful nodding ferns, and grasses tall and
light,
And buttercups 30 golden, beneath the sky,
Round which the yellow butterflies SO lazily Tould
And oh the clover blossoms, sweet as the new-made
Where bees would gather honey the hve,ong happy
day.
Good-by to shady woodland, and little mountain

In shadow or in sunshine its own song singing still
And to the stately trees where the brides build their
nest
And the leaves SO softly rustic to lu them to their
rest;
And all the sweet, Ewild .roseszthat in the hedges
And the fragrant blossom hiding in COOL green grass
To meadow brooks and miIl-ponds, to orchard and
to lane,
We sadly bid good-by till the summer comes again.
But the barns, the fragrant barns, with doors set
open wide,
To welcome summers harvest, and the boys and
girls beside.
OIL the childish shouts and laughter, the gleefu
calls which rang
Through every stout old rafter, Is from beam to

But alas! aood-by, old barn, for vacation time is

ITALIAN bees are so much superior to
the native blacks that no beekeeper
should be content without them. One
seasons experience with both varieties
will make one feel the truth Of this asser-
ton. Italians are much more docile,
will gather more honey because of the
greater length Of their tongues, and are

d BRIGANDsS GRATITUDE.

a AS4tA ~ 0xGA WIN
Statesmen have not high opinion Of
the gratitude of their followers. Many
OF them have learned, with Sir Robert
Walpole, to define it as ga lively sense
of future favors." Even those who take
men as they are, and do not expect all
the virtues of the Decalogue in place
expectant, have often had cause to say
with Wordsworth
I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With GOODNESS stin returning;
Alas the gratitude of men
Hath oftener left me mourning.
And yet, "the still, small voice Of
gratitude" as Gray calls it, has fire.
quently influenced the most obdurate
of men. An English official once had
an experience which Taught him that
even an outlaw may be swayed by
gratitude. lo
He was travelling in Greek province
OF Turkey, notorious for the number
and ferceness of its brigands. One of
the bands was commanded by a Cap
itan, " on whose head high price had
been set, and for whom a Turkish
force was then seeking.
He was honored by the peasants as a
regular leromenos. The name, which
means soiled, is, among the Greeks,
the title Of honor for brigand, whose
filthy garments indicate that he has
been long con the road," and SO fully
employed as not to have had time to
wash them.
With strong escort, the English
man was jor1rneying at night. An adj
venturous spirit led him to stray away
from his companions. He was follow
ing, by the light of the moon, forest
path, when suddenly his bride was
seized by several stout fellows.
Grasping his revolver, the English
man essayed to use it, but was pre-
vented by the "Capitan" laying hold
of it. A struggle ensued, in which the
pistol was broken.
At this moment, when self-defense was
out of the question, the Engishman
thought Of another means Of protection.
Removing the white cover of his official
cap, he pointed cut the crown on it, and
announced himself as an officer Of the
English Government.
Instantly the "Capitan" ordered his
bride to be released, and with his COM
panions retired short distance to con-
suit. In few minutes he returned to
inquire if the gentleman was son Of the
Consul Of the neighboring town.
"I am, was the answer.
"You are free to go where you please. -
replied the "Capitan," with much feel
ing. "Your father has saved the lives
and property of many Greeks. Besides,
we all love the English.
ca few miles hence" he continued,
"you will fall in with the camp of the
Pasha, who, with 800 troops, intends to
surround yonder mountain, where he
expects to intrap us. Give me your
word of honor not toreveal until to-mor-
row the fact Of meeting me; then you
and your escort will be allowed to pass
unmolested.
The Englishman gave the promise,
and in couple Of hours entered the
camp Of the Pasha. There he was en-
tertained with an excellent supper, and
also with the plan for capturing the
brigands on the next day.
Bound as he was by his word, the
Englishman silently listened. But
when, on the morrow, the Pasha found
his game flown, and learned that his
guest had encountered the brigand, he
was much annoyed. But he knew toe
well the English character, which re-
CARDS a pledged word as an oath, to find
fault with the officials reticence.

CAPITAL And LABOR ON THE BIG
FARMS OF DAKOTA.
We spent an evening in the comforta-
BILE home Of one Of the superintendent,
and heard him explain the system OF
bookkeeping. Every man is engaged
by contract, for certain time, to do
certain work, for certain wages. He re-
ceives his money on presenting to the
cashier time check certifying the
amount and nature of his labor. The
average price paid to hands is $18 a
month and board. In harvest they get
1926 day. A record is kept by the
foreman of the amount Of wheat turned
out by each thresher, by the driver of
each wagon of the amount of wheat
loaded by him, and by the receiver at
the elevator of the amount of wheat
brought in by each team. ALI the farm
machinery and the provisions are bought
at first hands for wholesale prices.
Mules and horses are bought in st.
Louis. Wheat is not stacked or stored,
but shipped to market as rapidly as pos
sible. Everything is regulated by an
exact system, and this is what makes the
farms success.
Brains and energy in the man who
controls them and in those whom he
chooses as his subordinate officers
is the secret of the enormous profits
which have been made on the Dalrym-
pie farms. The cost Of raising the first
crop is about $11 an acre each subse-
quent crop costs $S. The average yield
for this year was about nineteen bushels
to the acre. This could be sold at Fargo
on Oct. for 30 cents bushel. A brief
calculation will give you $442O per acre
profit on the new land, and $7.2O for all
the rest; or, say, $4,000 gain on one
crop. These figures I believe to be too
small, rather than too large.
But does this large farming pay for
the country? 1t absorbs great tracts Of
land, and keeps out smaller farmers. It
employs tramps, who vanish when the
harvest is over, instead Of increasing the
permanent population. exhausts the
land. The cultivation is very shallow.
There is no rotation of crops. Every
thing is taken from the ground; moth
ing is returned to it. Even the straw is
burned. The result of this is that the
average crop from any given acre grows
smaller every year, and it is simply a
question of time under the present sys-
tenn how long it will take to exhaust the

men OF Gotham that went to sea in a
bowl. However, this time the bowl was
stronger, and SO my story will be longer.
We saw three ships come sailing by,
Sailing by, sailing by;
We sawthree ships come sailing by,
On New Years day in the morning.
As we neared the cliffs of Mother
Gooseland, Iheard sweet voice singing:
Bobby shafto's gone to sea;
He'll come back and marry me.
And on the cliffs sat the sorrowful
little maiden, with big tears rolling down
her cheeks, and all for Bobby Shafto.
There we left her. OF course, in land
ing in strange country, my first
thought was to pay my respects to the
King and Queen, but
The King was in his countng-ho
Counting out his money;
The Queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
No audience there. So I sauntered
through the queer-looking streets which
were bordered by little gardens. Seeing
pretty girl looking out of window, I
said:
Mistress Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle-sheIls,
And fair maids all in row!
Pretty soon came to hill, and, as I
looked, up went
Jack and JILL to draw pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And jill came tumbliug after.
While I was grieving over them ]
heard the mournful CRY Of
Ding-dong, bell! Pussy1 in the we'll!
Who put her in? Little Johnny Greens
VINO pulled her out? Great Jack Stout!
What naughty boy was that
To drown poor mammals pussy cat.
Suddenly there was an uproar, and
along came, at full speed, with crowd
in chase Of him
Tom, Tom, the pipers son,
Who stole pig, and away did ron.
Before Tom had fairly got away, I
heard shout Of
Ksrk, harki The dogs do bark; the beggavs are
coming 10 town;
Some in rags, some in jags, and some in velvet
gowns.
Feeling tired and hungry after my
walk and all the stirring scenes I had
been through, I sought shelter in an inn,
and said to the landlady:
"Oh, what have you got for dinner, Mrs. Bondss
There's beef in the larder and ducks in the pond ;
Dilly, dilly, dily, dilfy, come and be killed,
For you must be killed and my customers flledi"
just as I was putting a piece of the
delicious roasted duck in my mouth, I
awaked to find that I had oversight my
self, and the breakfast-be was ringing.
