Never Mind the Hat, my Boy"

General Sheridan was idly saunter
ing up and down the lobby of the
I Windsor Hotel, deep in thought, and
complacently putting at his Havana,
and blowing the white smoke into
petty little lings. Suddenly a rough
looking man, with face so heavily
bearded that n could sea nothing
but the twinkling black eye, approach
ed him, and. raising his hat with
awkward embarrassment, said
"GOod morning, General"
The hero of Winchester returned
the greeting. touched his cap with
military pollteness, and then. trying
to peer through the miners heavy
beard to get a glimpse of his features,
the General said
"I'm afraid I've forgotten your
face, SIR"
The eyes Of the man from Gunni:
son twinkled brighter than ever as
he remarked:
SITS not unlikely, Genera! seein's
we never met but once afore. You
wouldn't be 30 apt to remember me
rs / am you. It's seventeen years
since l saw you last. Things has
changed then. 1t was ON the battle.

member the soldier that gave you his
horse when yours was shot from un-
der you by u shower of canister from
the masked batteries on the brow of
the hill - and the old man looked up
with eager pride into the Generals
face
"That ] do" answered the Gene
raj, with pleased interest and a brigh- |
ter flash in his eye: 81 remember 1t
WELL"
~ was that soldier" continued
the miner, proudly. 81 remember
the circumstance well, sir. When
you put the spurs to my horse and
off you left your hat behind
you. I called to you rs loud as 1
could, but you replied, Never mind
the hat, my boy I've got the hat
yet, General. It's hanging in my
cabin in the mountains" and the
fellows eyes glowed with
pleasure.
Sheridan grasped his hand and led
him to a seat, and for half on hour
they fought the battle of Cedar Greek
over again.-Denrer Tribune.

BE moderate In the number of your
intimate friends, and rest assured you
can have no better or trustier conf

The superiority of man has always
been acknowledged, but u husband
should have manly understanding
enough not to assert it over his wife.

There are two ways of governing Il
family ; one by brute force, the other
by firm but gentle authority. The
first is very effectual. and will secure
not only ready obedience and submis'

your unfortunate children.
Let domestic matters alone : you
know nothing about them, and if you
did they are not the kind of cares fol
a man to assume. BE the cashier and
make your wife business manager OF
the home. If she proves in incap'
able, offer suggestions which she viii
thankfully receive if made in the
right way.
Dress as we'll as your means viii
allow. but be neither a dandy nor
slOven. BE sure that your wife is al
ways dressed better than you are
and never lose an opportunity tt
praise her taste, which is an easy ant
most effectual way to secure her goOt
will. Besides, it is a very Sigh
sacrifice at the altar of her vanity.
Avoid cOntradicting your wife; 20,

The Minnesota and Dakota Goal Supply.

For the past few weeks the various
journals throughout the State and
elsewhere have been teeming with
articles on the alleged extraordinary
preparations being made by the Chi
cago. Milwaukee l. st. Paul road, for
supplying the people residing along
their line with coal at cheap rates.
The matter, if true, was one of suf.
iicient public importance to merit
commentator, and we have been at
especial pains to thoroughly sift the
affair. We find that the matter has
been grossly exaggerated. Despite
the bitter experiences of last winter,
there have been no preparations
made by this line. beyond erecting
sheds and advertising coal they have
not got. The fact is they cannot get
the coal. Their muchly advertised
mines in Iowa are flooded and cannot
be pumped out for six weeks to come.
They have as yet no coal at any of
their stations on the Southern Min
nesOta division. At only eleven
stations on the Hastings & Dakota
division have they from two to three
carloads of inferior Iowa coal. This
coal at Aberdeen is held at $3.50 per
ton. the best Wilmington coal,
acknowledged superior by 50 per ton,
being sold at Watertown on the Chi.
cago & Northwestern road at 81 per
ton. Facts cannot lie, and we do not
make these statements without a
reliable basis for them. VIZ comment
on this fact, because it is one of i'm.
p~Ortance to residents of this State
and Dakota. Should the people along
their lines rely implicitly on their
manifold assurances of protection
OH their part from a recurrence of the
fuel famine of last winter, they risk
being left in a sorry plight. 1t should
be looked into and the people should
take such measure for self.protection
AS will preclude the possibility Of so
serious a need as at'present threatens
them. Coal is scarcer than is pre-.
sumed. The fact that the Chicago.
Milwaukee Il st. Paul coal mines are
not in working condition should he
lest consumers build false ex-
pectations on the untruthful assur.
ances that are being published. As
yet they have no coal, and inquiry
leyelOpes the situation, showing that
get none until their mines
Ire put in shape. Contra to this the
efforts of the Chicago & Northwestern
people in not relying solely OIL their
iowa mines, which have not been out
If working condition a day, r most
of commentator. They do
rot depend exclusively on their own
capabilities for careing for the people
,esiding contiguous to their lines, but
hey are storing their sheds with an
supply of Wilmington coal,
which is sold at reasonable prices.
Let those whom this matter interests
take time by the forelock" and in.
yostigate the true status of the case
u we have done.
