Next to ''hOme sweet hOme,"
visit to Wadena warns the cookies
of my heart. Such welcome is
given one on his arrival at your
beautiful flourishing town, that a
person must be more than human to
resist the hearty invites to come
again. It would require the corpo-
ration of Dan Lambert, to accept
the numerous invites to partake of
their hospitality. It makes an old
bach (like myself thank God that he
has no one at home to feel jealous
and snatch him bald headed (no in.
situations Mr.. Editor) at the atten-
tions shown him by the Fair. Wa
dena may well be proud of her Fair.
The articles may be increased, but
nothing but age can change them. A
peculiarly about your Fair town is,
one never sees an old lady; all are
smiling, fresh, blooming maidens, or
pleasant, amiable mammas. The pas
are too busy during the rush (when
not fishing) to form much of an opin-
ion Of. But If hearty shake; take
a smoke mot word about drink, and
immaculate shirt-fronts are eriteri-
an to judge by, they must be happy.
R du-tat-ta-sugar, sir. Excuse more
taffy this time. have some regards

Saved by His Dog.

o
lrldyiilr Democrat
Mr.. p. l.. Gleason, Il well known
resident Of this city, went to Boulder
on business two or three weeks ago,
and since he left, information has been
received here of an experience of his
well worth relating. He had occasion
to 90 up the mountain side near Boul-
der, and. accompanying him was his
treasured friend and servant, Il large
Newfoundland dog. Gleason was as
cending the steep trail with the snow
banked up on each side and the big,
shaggy dog walking along in his rear,
when n snOwslidc caught him and the
dog, and carried them several hundred
feet down the mountain. When their
course was checked, the dog found him
self head and shoulders above the snow,
but his master, not 50 fortunate, was
buried under the treacherous stuff.
There were some slight surface indi-
cations to mark the spot where Gleason
was lying unconscious under the
snow, and the great brown eyes of the
dog noted them. With mighty
heaye of his shaggy chest, lie relieved
himself from the SNOW, and with that
grand affection which the old phlos-
ophy could call by no better name than
instinct. the noble brute struggled
through the deep SNOW until he reached
the spot where he thought his master
was buried. Giyingutterance to sharp
rapid, passionate yelps, he commenced
to dig in the snow with his huge paws
clcvating instinct tOreaSon, and wher
he had scOoped out hole to the depth
of two feet he came across the body OF
his master. The old fellow was fairly
wild with mingled delight and fear
delight at finding his master, and feal
that the white, still face and closed
eyes meant that awful something from
which man and dog alike will shrink
lie could do nothing but lick his mas
ter's face and express his grief in almost
human tones, but fortunately it was
Inconsistencies, not death, that the
dog watched over, and in few min
utes Gleason recovered sufficiently t
understand his surroundings and glad
den the heart of the best friend he eveI
had, although it beat under the shag
gy hide of an animal. Gleason wa
not seriously injured, and in a shor
time he was able to go on his way ant
bless the Lord for that big Newfound
land dog.

A Beautiful RETROSPECT.

When the summer day of youth is
slowly wasting away into the nightfall
of age, and the shadows of the past
year grow deeper and deeper as life
wears to "a close; it is pleasant to look
back through the vistas of time upon
the joys and sorrows of early years.
If we have a home loshelter, or hearts
to rejoice with us and friends who
have been gathering around our fire
side, then the rough places of our way
faring will be worn and smoothed
away in the twilight of life, while the
bright sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy, indeed, are those
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the course Of their holiel
feeling, or broken those musical chords
of the heart whose vibrations are 81
melodious; so tender and 50 touching
lin the evening Of age,

Poultry Yard.
What Il different taste Il fine, nicely
and quickly fdtted fowl has, when
served on the table, compared with one
which has been forced to scratch for all
its living, ana then be consigned to the
spit in anything but a fit condition for
food Farmers realize the importance
of fattening quickly, when feeding
beeves for the butcher, yet many do
not seem to realize the fact that what
holds with that kind of meat is equally
true when applied to fowls. Tender.
ness and iuiciness are results Of fattcn-
ing quickly, while mere ordinary flavor
and want of tenderness result from
letting towels run until wanted for use
ON the table.
TO enable one TO fattcn fowls or
chicks quickly, it is absolutely ncccs-
sary to give such food aS will accom-
plish the purpose best, and to this end,
we unhesitatingly recommend plenty of
milk, in any state, from fresh to thick.
This should be fed in connection with
grain diet, for one cOunteracts any
possible deleteriOus influence of the
other. If kept in Il darkened place and
fed unsparingly on milk, with grain
food in tue proper proportions, you will
soon have something very choice to set
upon your tables to your friends, as
well as to your family. When milk is
fed, no water is required for fatienlng
fowls.

A curious mode of conducting con-
traband trade has just been put in
practice in Switzerland. The proprie-
tor of II watch mandatory at Lugano
has II large and well trained stock of
carrier pigeons wh'ch keep journeying
continually to Italy and back again.
Each pigeon in its flight to the south
bears a small watch attached to its
feet. The owner thus hopes to import
daily fifty watches into Italy without
running any danger of paying any du.
ty. Acting on this information the
custom house authorities at New York
have instructed all officers of steam
ships to refuse passengers the libert!
of taking pigeons on board.
