The Baby's Picture.


I'VE must carry our beautiful baby to town,
Some day when the weather is fair we
said;
1--WE must dress him up in the prettiest gown,
And wave his hair on the top of his head;
For all his cousins and ali his aunts,
And both his grandmothers proud and dear,
Declare 1t is shameful and every way blame
full,
To have had no picture OF him this year
We carried our child to the town one day..
The skies were soft, and the air was cool,
We robed him richly in fine array
Ribbons and iaces, and Swiss, and tuiie.
He looked like prince in the artists chair,
Sitting erect. and brave, and grand,
With 3 big red apple he scarce could Rrapple.
Held close in the pain Of one dimpied hand.
HE is taking it nowI" We held our BREATH
We quietly peeped from behind the screeni
what poser we whispered, then still as
death .TNe
Waited-and baby Yves NIL serene
Till the critical moment, when, behold,
The sun was catching that lovely look,
Such terrible roar it sho3k the h5or!
And that was the picture the swift g IN took.

hungr man, who, after q considerable
fast and much activity, sits down with
sense of exhaustion to commence his
principal meal. In two or three min
utes after he has taken plate of good
warm soup, the feeling of exhaustion
disappears. and irritability gives way
to the gradual rising sense of good fell
lowship with the circle. Some persons
have the custom of allaying exhaustion
with q glass of sherry before food--a
gastronomic no less than physiologi-
cal blunder, injuring the stomach and
depraving the palate. The soup intro
duces at once in the system small in
stallment of ready digested food, and
saves the short period of time which
must be spent by the stomach in deriv-
ing some nutriment from solid aliment,
as well as indirectly Strengthening the
organ of digestion itself for its forth
coming duties. Sir Henry Thompson.

Wanted an AppaIe.

An Irishman by the name OF OBJ,
some ten years ago in the county of NJ,
had case in the circuit court, and hav-
ing at one time in his earlier days read
law, undertook to manage the case him
self. The judge who was klnd-hearted
man, seemed disposed to favor him all
he.could by making such suggestions as
he hoped would lead Paddy safely
through, but finding that his suggestions
were not understood or not appreciated,
he finally said:
"Mr. OBJ, you'd better get law
yer"
To which Paddy replied Faith, and
yer honor, and am lawyer myself, 1
am I"
Well, sir" impatiently retorted the
judge, ~ will have to give judgment
against you"
Then judge, I'll have to take an
appale, and bad luck to we as long as ye
livei"
With patience all gone, the judge said,
with considerable warmth:
Mr.. OB-, II you continue re-
marks like this any further, / shall be
compelled to impose fine upon you for
contempt.
To which the irrepressible Pat replied
instantly: "No, judge, you can't do
that neither, for have the very highest
respect for yer honor but thin, judge,
don't think you understand the law ~

Russian Babies.

A correspondent speaking of Ru ssian
babies, describes as follows what one
sees in the house of Russian peasant.
He looks curiously at one odd little
bundle laid upon shelf, another hung
upon the wall on a peg, third slung
over one of the main beams of the roof
and rocked by the mother, who has the
cord looped over her foot. "Why, that
is child!' cries the traveller, with a
feeling similar to that experienced on
treading upon toad which was sup
posed to be stone. ''Why, what else
should it be 2" answers the mother.
Having learned so much in so short
a time, the inquisitive traveller wishes to
inform himself about the habits of the
creature in the bundle; but his curiosity
being somewhat dampened by the ex-
treme dirt of the little figure, he inquir-
ed of the parent when it was washed

She was a little Deaf.

A very fashionable Galveston lady
Mrs. McSpillkins, is affected with par
tial deafness, and also with a very bad
cold which, by the way is very fashion
able just now. In this connection it
may be said she has an infant about
six months old. There was quite a
little social gathering at the lady's
house few nights ago, and the high
toned Colonel Smith, one of the cOmpa-
ny, asked how the baby was coming on.
The partially deaf lady must have had
the cold running in her head instead of
the baby, for she replied: Its the
worst one 1 have had this winter. 1t
worries me nearly to death. L have
done everything L could to get rid of
it, but it's of no use. L can tell by
your looks, Colonel Smith. that you are
going to have one too, just like it, pret-
ty soon." Colonel Smith don't visit
the family any more.

Little Fails e Doko.n.

The following regarding the progress
made on the L. F. & D. railroad we clip
from the Sauk Centre Tribune: "The Fl
nal location of the L. F. s. D. grade east
ward to Little Falls is completed and con-
siderable heavy grade work is being done,
while the tie makers of John D. Lyle & Co
are pushing matters. Stopping places
will probably be made on this line at Grey
Eagle, Swanvile, on the Swan river abou,
three miles from Pillsbury, and very likely
one near the crossing of Prairie Creek, in
Birchdale. Mr.. Geo. NJ. Bennett, right ol
way agent, has just returned from trip
having closed up the greater portion ol
the cases between this place and Swan
vile. He does not think that he will
have any cases east of Sauk Centre on
which a commission will have to be an
pointed, and only three cases west of this
point.
The progress of the work is further
shown by the following from the Little
Falls Transcript: "Col. j. B. Fish has
been in town most of the week. Ills party
has finished his survey and the colonel will
make his he :. .lquarters here for the balance
of the season. He says that all the bridges
between here and Sauk Centre, including
the one to be built across the Mississippi
at this place, will be built this winter
Vice President Oakes has given orders tc
have the work pushed as fast as possible
and it will be done.

Streets.

The work now being done on the streets
will save the taxpayers good many dol
lars, at least it seems so when we consider
that the work has got to be done in the
spring if not now. The saving will be
effected by the decreased cost of men and
teams, as at present the former can be pro
cured for $l.25 per day and the latter for
$3.50, while in the spring, with the great
demand for labor ON the railroads under
construction in this vicinity, men and
teams will not only be scarce but labor
will be high. We also think the work can
be done to much better advantage at pres
ent, as full loads can be hauled and the
surface will be packed and hard so as to
be in good condition by the time the
ground softcns up, when it will tamp down
into the earth and form good foundation.
1t cannot be expected to have our streets
free from mud until such time as system
of sewerage has been inaugurated, but we
can at least render our thoroughfares to a
degree passable in wet weather. If the
surface drainage is also looked after the
first thing in the spring, much of the an
Eoyance, in former years occasioned by
impossible streets can be avoided.

The FlteI Question.

AS the head of the household gazcs with
sorrow tinged with the gravest appre-
hension on the spot where his wood pile
formerly stood, and then looks anxiously
northward TO the land whence cometh the
festive blizzard, there Is look in his stern
countenance which is not very difficult to
interpret, and means business from the
word "go" in the event of a fuel famine.
So far our immediate wants have been sup
piled, and while we are satisfied the COM
pany fully realize the necessities of the sit
uation, yet they. should use every effort to
stock the fuel yards for the next three
months. 1t is claimed by parties in the
big woods that the prices paid them are so
small that it is no inducement to cut and
deliver wood Oh the line. We don't know
anything about the prices paid, but if it is
as claimed, it were better by far, if neces
sary to procure an adequate supply, that
buying and selling prices were both ad
vanced.

A telegram containing the sad intelli.
gence of his fathers death was received
by MIR. Il. G. Moore late Tuesday evening.
The sorrowful tidings were sudden AID
painful surprise, as it was only day or
two previous that a letter from home was
received, stating that his father was in
the enjoyment of health. and as vigorous
as man of his years could be expected to
be, and hence the telegram was the first
intimation that was received to the con-
