A tenderfOot out at Leadville bor-
rCwed a pair of oxen of !. friend to
draw some wood. He had not pro-
ceeded far when he was amazed to see
the oxen's tails where, their heads
ought to be. They had turned in the
yoke. Mr.. Pilgram, not knowing
what to do, sat down ON a rock t.,
think it over. Along comes a bull
whacker, gets the oxen in position,
ties their tails strongly together, and
says, Chow. you are all right He
got the wood, brought it to town, and
returned the oxen, Having forgotten
all about their tails being tied, he took
off the yoke and trouble began. The
oxen made rush in opposite direc-
lions, but stopped short, like ''My
Grandfather's Clock" BY this time
the tenderfoot was safely astride the
fence. With horrible bellowings, a
strong pull, and pull both together,
one OK succeeded in curtailing the
other to the extent of a foot or so. and
peace reigled. Our friend remarked
that the next time he went after wood
he wouldn't go.-Dule.tt Tribune.

A bill to pay the widow of Capt.
Page, once an officer in the United
States navy, a balance due him
when he resigned his commission to
fight for the Confederacy was before
the House at Washington, but a few
days ago. A speech made by Sen.
Bragg, regarding the matter is at
tracing much atteation. The speaker
is a democrat, but by no means a
Bourbon. He said 'the bill was
the forerunner of a thousand other
claims Of similar nature, which
would be presented to congress, if
this one was allowed. It would have
been much better if Page had died
before he spat upon the flag he served
under, and which he refused to de-
fend by resigning in the hour of his
country's peril These are bold
words for a modern democrat: hut

A Woman Frozen 10 Death.

The Redwood Gazette learns that
Mrs. Rogers, residing IN yelling.

to death on Sunday the 9Th inst. She
went to a neighbours house two miles
distant to borrow -four. Her aged
husband was unable to go at the
time, and she herself was partially
crippled by reason of frozen feet, the
family being almost destitute of fuel
and provisions. While returning
with the -four, Mrs. Rogers was sud.
denly overtoken by the storm of that
Sunday afternoon. Her body was
found on the following Tuesday at:
ternoon more than three miles dist

companied Mrs. R., and one Of them
was the means by which the search
ing party found her frozen remains,
completely buried in the snow. The
faithful dog had stood guard owe,
the dead body, and would not let
dogs from a house near by distract
him from his vigils, until his pecul.
lar behavior attracted attention
with the result as stated. The othe,
dog attempted to run home and was
frozen to death.
The deceased Mrs. Rogers was &C
years old, and was the mother Of
four children at the time Of hel

MENNONITE STOVES.

In Sweden and Russia they use a
stove which IS made good deal on
the principle of brick oven. The
interior Of the stove is Of brick. The
exterior is of earthen ware OF Dor.
celain, and so made as to radiate as
much heat as possible. These stoyes
are always permanent fixture OF
the house. In the houses of the
wealthy they are sometimes covered
with costly porcelain, in which case
they may be highly ornamental.
At the Centennial exhibition there
was a sort OF this stove in the Swe-
dish department which was sold to
somebody in New York at $1,000.
On the other hand in the cabins of
the roor one Of these stoves is a
rather home y piece of furniture.
The Mennonites from the prairie
regions Of Russia have brought this
sort of stoves with them to our Min
nesota frontier, and in the absence
Of wood they find that they can
keep themselves comfortable by
heating the stove with prairie hay.
Some little ingenuity has been de.
voted to the development of this
Mennonite idea, and stoves and ma.
chinery for pressing hay into com
pact masses for convenient use as
fuel have been put on the market.
Perhaps in most cases these are toe
costly for the homesteaders on the
prairies, and more concentrated fuel
is naturally preferred as a matter OF
convenience, where it can be OBJ.

ing when farmers will be selecting
and putting in order theirseed wheat
it would be we'll for them to bear in
mind that the reputation which Min.
nesota has acquired as wheat pro.
duclng State and the favor which
flour made in Minnesota has found
IN Eastern markets is attributable
TO the intrinsic I11 merit Of the Fife
wheat. This variety alone will
make the high grade patent and
strong bakers flour for which Min
nesota is SO Justly celebrated. A
number of varieties of soft wheat
have been introduced, within the
past three years, every bushel of
which, bought by miller, has been
positive damage to him, in lower
ing the standard of his -four.
The past season some Of these va
rletles OF soft wheat yielded more
bushels per acre than Fife, hence

determination to forsake Fife entire

is an undeniable fact. This is a
matter Of the utmost Importance to
all. The time has come for unit
ed effort, and thorough agitation of
this matter, not only on the part of
the farmers and nillers, but all who
have an interest in the welfare of
the State. Our State, Dakota, and
Manitoba, are alone favored with
climate and soil necessary to pro.
duce the hard wheat. The question
then is, ''Shall we sell our birth
right for mess of pottage? Shall
we stand by our old Fife wheat and
maintaintour position in the vanof a
wheat and flour producing State? or,
forsaking it, take place in the
ranks of States producing soft wheat

Washington Letter.

Washington, Feb. 10Th, 1881.
This week at the capitol has not
lacked protensious event in the
way Of furious words between Sena-
tors Conkling and Bntler, nor its
episode, which was the counting of
the electoral vote and declaring the
election Of a president of the United
States. We will not marvel at Ell
Their: but will congratulate the
world that is coming here on the 4th
of March that there has been one
May-like day, melting snow and ice
away from the most perfect streets
that the present generation can see
short of Paris or the new Jerusalem.
All that Washington Now asks of
the weather clerk is few dry days
to enable the huge revolving street
sweeping machines to do their work,
in order that the nations capital
may be admired by the nations chill
dren, whether they come from the
Crescent city, the city at the Golden
Gate of the Occident, the city on
the Father Of Waters, on the Lake,
the Queen City. or the group Of
great cities of the east. No matter
whence the citizens of cities come,
they will find something surprising
in this peculiar city. No roaring
traffic, or busy ma,t Of trade, as in
any of the cities mentioned. Here
enterprise is limited to getting an
office and holding it, or to getting a
contract, or an appropriation or a
claim, and then getting more con-
tracts, appropriations and claims.
Intrigue, diplomacy, chicane, or, to
use comprehensive synonym-pol.
itics, is the great industry of this
peculiar city. Hotels, boarding
houses, saloons, pawn shops, and
brothels are subsidiary necessities
or logical sequences. When in 10.
50, the idea of South Carolina abdi:
Gated, and the idea of Massachusetts,
assumed sway, then began improve.
nents in streets and architecture,
but the improvement in human ma.
ture is slow. To gild the haunts OF
vice, to give to dens the grace and
splendor of temples, is not reform.
Washington has absolutely no mu,
Eicipality; no citizen of the capital
votes. The Representative Con.
gress of the greatest Republic of all
the ages is a hydri-headed despot
here; it makes our laws and appoints
their executors. Congress has
built this whited immoral sepulchre,
and Congress says it is good. II
serves the purpose of the representa-.
tive or senator who leaves his wife
and private character at home, and
comes here for a debauch.
! Within the next four weeks,
Washington will be ''done'' by ma.
ny who have never before seen the
city. They will see it under the most
favorable auspices. But donct, oh
patriotic pilgrim at your country's
shrine, be deceived by external ap.
pearances, but when you go home
use your sovereignty to send those
here who will the capital fit foun
tain for pure legislation.
