buyers had lowered the grade of wheat
coming into this market from what it
has ruled hitherto, or that the grading is
less favorable to the seller than it is at
other elevators controlled by that firm. is
quite emphatically denied by its repre-
sentatives. One of them assured US last
week that the order of the house was to
give the producer "all there was in it"
for grain offered at Redwood Falls. The
firm have permanent interests here now.
and it would seem short sighted policy
in them to compel farmers to market
their wheat At competing points. Our
Delhi correspondent was doubtless sin

hadn't had fair show. but at this time
We think his statement that the buyers At
Redwood are less fair than other servants
lof Van Duscn & Co., is . hasty conclu-
not warranted by the actual facts.

The Importance of a Chaperon.

A woman of elegant manners and
charming character, who will submit to
the slavery of being q chaperon-for it
Is little less-it is hard to find. Yet
every motherless family should try to
find such a person.
In travelling In Europe an accom-
plished chaperon can do more for young
girls than any amount of fortune. She
has the thing they want that is know
ledge. With her. they a go every
where-to picture galleries, to theaters,
to public and private balls, and into
society, if they wish it. It is "eti-
quette" to have a chaperon, and it is the
greatest violation not to have one. If a
woman isprotected blythe armor of work,
she can dispense with a chaperon. The
young artist goes about her copying un-
questioned ; but in society, with its diff
ferent laws, she must be uuder the care
of IN older woman than herself. A
chaperon is indispensable to an engaged
girl. The mother, or some lady friend,
should always accompany a young
fancee on her journeys to the various
places of amusement and to the water.
ing places. Nothing is more vulgar in
the eyes of our modern society than for
an engaged couple to go travelling about
alone with each other, and to the theater
by themselves, as was the primitive GUS
tom. This will, We know, shock many
Americans and be called a "foolish fol.
lowing of foreign fashions" But it is
true, and if it were only for the CLOCKS
of the thing" it is more decent, more
elegant and more correct for the young
couple to be accompanied by a chaperor
until marriage.
Society allows an engaged girl t.
drive with her fancee in al open car
rage, but it does not approve of his tax
ing her in a close carriage to an even
ing party.-Harper's Bazaar.

No Chance for Him.

He was coming down street with a

knees and q thumb tied up in a rag.
P~erspiration had wilted his collar and
made his hannels crawl up, and each
knee carried the marks of dust. He
halted a pedestrian, got his aching
back against the lamp-post, and asked :
"Sir, do you suppose that George
Washington ever fell down stairs with q
bureau after him and on top of him ?"

A Curious

A few days ago a most singular case
heard in n of the Paris law courts.
A stone mason, named Jean Jeanzac, 80
years of age, was charged with trying to
make a prostitute of a young girl, Paul
inc Vilette, born in 1866. The girl, it
seems, had run away from home and
went to live with Jeanzac, but when they
were arrested both declared that she was
as pure as when she was born. In court
the girl made a statement which created
the greatest sensation. She said it was
a voluntary act on her part, going away
from home to live with Jean. They had
great affection for each other, for he was
kind to her when her mothers husband,
who was not her father, abused her.
They had slept together for weeks, but
never had Jean attempted TO dishonor
her person, and she was still a virgin. In
proof of what she said she demanded
that medical experts should be sent for
and an examination held. The Judge
sent for two prominent doctors, who
pronounced her worthy of the Montyon
prize-a reward given yearly by the
French academy to the most virtuous girl
in France. Of course Jean was acquitted.

A1naZOns.

Three nations of Amazons have been
mentioned by the ancients. First, the
Asiatic Amazons, from whom the others
branched off. These dwelt on the shores
of the Black sea, and among the mount
aims of the Caucasus, especially in the
neighborhood of the modern Trebisond,
on the river Tpermodon (now Termoh).
They are said to have at one time SUBJ
dued the whole of Asia, and to have
built Smyrna, Ephesus, Cuma and
other cities. Their Queen, Hippolyte, or,
according to others, Antoine, was killed
by Hercules, as the ninth of the labors
imposed on him by Eurystheus consisted
in taking from her the shoulder-belt be-
slowed on her by Mars. On one of their
expeditions. the Amazops came to Attica,
in the time of Theseus. They also
marched under the command of their
Queen, Penthesilea, to assist Priam
against the Greeks. They sven appear
upon the scene in the time of Alexander
the Great, when their Queen, Thalestris,
paid him a visit, In order to become q
mother by. the conqueror of Asia.
Second, the Scythian Amazon, who in
after times, married among the neigh
boring Scythians, and withdrew further
into Sarmatia. Third, the African ANA
zons, who, under the command of their
Queen, Myrina, subdued the Gorgons
and Atlantes, marched through Egypt
and Arabia, and founded the capital of
Lake Tritonis, but were then annihilated
by Hercules,

A Swindler Fooled.

Upon one of the trains en- route from
the Pacific coast, a sharp undertook to
sell a diamond ring to an old miner who
had made his pile and was returning
home. The miner looked at the ring
and said to the seller: ''They've got COM
mon stone up in the diggings where I've
been that'n cut that diamond all to
piecesl" ''If you'll find a piece of stone
that will cut that diamond I'll give it to
you" replied the peddler. "An right"
said the miner, 'if 1 can't cut that 'dia-
mond' with a stone I'll buy it of you"
Thereupon the miner took the ring in
his hand and pulled from his vest pocket
a small piece of brown-looking stone,
similar to a bit of dark freestone, except
the grain was very fine, and with this he
proceeded coolIy to cut and scratch the
diamond" with several u~gly-looking
gashes. A group of passengers that
had gathered about the miner were
amazed, but while they smiled the ped
dler with his diamond" withdrew dis
comfted. s'That little piece of brown
stone" explained the miner, sis a piece
of corundrum that I got in the Rocky
mountains, and it's the best diamond
tester in the world. 1t won't scar a
genuine diamond, but it will everlasting

Allan Pinkert0n.

Major Allan Pinkerton was born in
Gorbals, city of Glasgow, Scotland,
August 20, 1919, and came to this coun-
try in 1841. After a short residence in
this city he went to Dundee, Kane
County, ILL.,, and ran a cooper shop
there for several years. He was ap-
pointed Deputy Sheriff, and, having
good success, was induced in 1849 to
accept the same position under William
J.. Church, then Sheriff of Cook County.
In 1851 he was appointed detective, the
first Chicago even had, by Mayor Cur
ney. In 1853 he organized his detec-
tive agency, which has been in operation
ever since, and is now famous the world
over. He was called upon by Presi-
dent Lincoln to organize the secret SER
vice of the United States for the Army
and Treasury departments. He ne
manned in charge of the government de-
t~ectives at Washington and with the
Army of the Potomac, under the Secre-
tary of War and Generals Burnside,
Mcclellan, and Hooker. At his own re-
quest, in 1858, he was transferred to the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the6Uuthwest under
Major General Candy, and remained
there till the close of the war, with
headquarters at New Orleans. In the
meantime his Chicago agency had been
run by Edward Bucker, and, when the
chief returned, the agency vas imme-
diately reorganized. In 1866 he started
an office in New York, of which Robert
A. Pinkerton is now superintendent and
in 1865 he opened another in Phila-
delphia, of which Robert ]. Linden is
the present superintendent. There are
$50 employees in the different agencies,
all drawing salaries, and none of them
are permitted to receive rewards or
gratitudes of any kind. The Chicago
office is the headquarters, and there
daily be found, being on hand early in
the morning, and always attentive to
his duties.

A uergyman's. Night Dance.

"I have had" said q we'll known
clergyman, "some very dron expert
ences. Among the most exciting was
the one that I will now relate. A well
known merchant was very sick-some
thought nigh unto death. He would see
no pastor, nor allow any one to speak to
him on the subject of religion. One
day he mentioned my name, though he
was no acquaintance Of mine. He
named me two or three times. At
length his wife asked him If he wanted
me to call. He hesitated for some time,
and then asked his family to send for
me. He added "Tell him to come
right away" I obeyed the summons,
was ushered into the sick chamber, and
at once recognized the gentleman Al one
who had been an occasional nearer In
my church. He greeted me with great
cordiality, and asked that all should
leave the room. He wanted to speak to
me privately. Hi wife left with evil
dent reluctance. The man was so weak
that he could with difficulty turn in bed.
AS soon as the door was closed the pa
tient sprung from his bed, turned the
key in the lock, seized upon me with the
strength of a giant, and said Now
we will have a nice Dance clasping me
about the body, and he, in his night
shirt, commenced to caper and prance
about the room, humming in a low
voice Il and my Father are one, equal
in power and glory He kept his pace
for an hour, until I was nearly dead
from exhaustion and fright. He was 9
wild maniac. Once I attempted to
scream He seized me by the throat.
His eyes flashed fire. He said he would
brain meif I was not quiet. Round and
round he turned, keeping up the refrain,
Il and my Father are one, equal in
power and glory Pretending to be
pleased, I suggested that he call in some
of the family to join us. He caught al
the idea. He opened the door to cal
the household up, and I instantly few
down stairs pursued by the mailman.
He was arrested, taken to the mad.
house, and in twenty-four hours died 6
raving maniac. have since heard
these words repeated without being
thrown into a cold sweat. I had dance
enough that night to last me the balance

Get n Home.

We would have every true man build
for himself a home, be it ever SO humble
in its beginning. Industry and frugality
and good judgment will make of it the
most lovely spot of earth. The man
without a home is like a sojourner with
out a country. The richest, happiest,
and the best man in the wide world is he
who has a pretty, comfortable home of
his own, a family, good health, and owes
no man a cent, even though his entire
worldly possessions would not sell for a
thousand dollars, and though he has
never held so high an Office as town con
stable or roadmaster.
We sometimes feel constrained to
doubt whether a man without a home
can at best be but an Indifferent citizen
and a more Indifferent patriot. He can
not feel that interest in other peoples
real prosperity that he feels in his own,
and without such prosperity we could
have no country worthy a name. He
would scarcely care to risk his life in de.
Tense of the hearthstone of his landlord,
but let that hearthstone be his own and
woe to the invader who should threaten
it with dissertation. The homes of the
people are the strength of the State.
Build them, beautify them, own them,
and be happy. This is the fair deduc-
ton from hosts of instances and is the
true philosophy of home making and
home owning.
