The Wrong Infrmity.

In certain Michigan village, says
the Detroit Free Press, there lived, de-
cade since, a man known as Judge Simp-
SON No one could remember of his
having served in any capacity to gain
the title, but he acquired it somehow,
and had dignity enough for q whole su-
preme bench. The Judge was an co
centric citizen, wen liked, but he had o
terribly bad breath. No one would ride
with him, few could talk with him. and
everybody wondered why he didn't eat
onions fora change. No one had the
scourage to mention this matter, and yet
something must be done or the Judge
would be ostracised. In this emergency
along came one of the first tramps ever
seen in the State. At the first house
where he called for . bite the man called
him in and said:
my friend, are you brave man?"
'Well, / never took back seat yet. !"
''Do you want to earn $2?"

That's all. Simply ask the question

The tramp went his way, and the citi-
zen took his station on street corner.
He saw the brave man 60 up, and he
saw him come down. He went up grace
fully enough, but when he came down
he bumped every separate stair, and as
he gathered himself up at the bottom a
boot lifted him clear into the gutter. He
started for the river on dead run, and
never stopped for half mile. Then the
citizen overlook him and asked:
''Well, was the Judge in?"
"He was!''

Death on Corn.

An illiterate farmer of the far West
was reading in paper that. lowing to
the large number of emigrants travelling
this way, corn would probably command

over Wild Mountains.

The detachment which was sent under
command of Captuin Ii. Ii. Pierce, of the
Twenty First Inftdtry, to explore the
northern part of Washington Territory and
report on Its Typographical aspect, reached
Vancouver on the 18th Of September after
an absence OF SIX weeks. During the trip
the officers and men experienced much
hardship and prlvation. The commander
left Fort Colville, w. T., on August 1st
and pushed In westerly line for the Cas-
cade Mountains. TIE ascent was so steep
that only three horses could be got over the
summit. One of the pack mules went over
the precipIce head over heels, and after
making about ftty revolutions per minute,
soon landed at the bottom of the canyon, q
distance Of go feet, Another horse was
lost in the same manner, and valuable
mule was bitten by rattlesnake and died
shortly afterward. Most of the animals
and a number of the men were sent back
TO Fort ColvIlle.

rich in mineral deposits. The territory

consisting of steep declivities, and in some
places the ascent was perilous. After

Chewing Gum Season.

1t is fact Of some consequence to dea-
lers in certain goods that the chewing. gulA
season begins with school. There is some
demand during the summer, but boys and
girls generally have other means of DIVER
sion and recreation, but when the school,
room door opens and the years toll begins
there Is something necessary In study hours.
Tatfy and other candies leave marks on
fingers and faces, but the hardy gum can
be rolled away snuglY in the corner of
the desk, mouth or pocket and reproduce
cd whenever the pedag0gue has his back
turned.
Very little pure spruce gum is in the
market. Packages are received that look
like pure gum ut first sight, but the Jumps
are supposed 10 be formed by the fingers
after a little gum, rosin and other things
have been added Ii dealer is in doubt
about the genuineness OF this spruce gum,
he applies TO q Canadian, who eau tell at
once. 1t must not be inferred from this
that the regular diet of the Canadian is
spruce gum. No; he gets something more
on holidays occasionally.
The amount Of chewing-gum manufac
tured is enormous. There is a factory in
Philadelphia. The gum sold by confec-
tioners is chiefly parafine wax. Spruce
gum is nifty cents per pound for the best
In Maine, hence tie use OF cheaper things
gives profit. The gum makers follow the
toV seasons in the form of chewing gum
that is TO say, when tops are the toys gum
Is IN the shape of tops, at other seasons
other forms attract pennies. Chewing-gum
may seem Insignificant as trade commo-
dity, but 1t is not. There are large houses
In the country engaged solely In the pre-
paratiOn of chewlng-gum.

Eating Meat and Nervousness.

Nervous disease and weakness in
crease in country as the population
comes to live on the flesh of the warm
blooded animals. Meat using the
term in its popular sense IS highly stim-
ulating, and supplies proportionally
more exciting than actually nourishing
pabulum to the nervons sy stem. The
meat-eater lives at high pressure and is,
or ought to be, peculiarly active or
ganism, like predatory animal al Says
on the alert, walking rapidly, and con-
Stunning large quantities of oxygen. In
practice, we find that the meat-eater
does not live up to the level of his food,
and as a consequence he cannot or does
not take in enough oxygen to satisfy
the exigencies OF his mode of lite.
Thereupon follow many, if not most, OF
the ills to which highly civilized and
luxurious meat-eating classes are liable. y

The Performance is closed.

The facts connected with the miserable
experience of yonng Symonds as an ac-
tor were these He was hired to play
in a stock company, and one night was
called upon almost at an hours notice
to take part In play he had never seen,
his services being required in conse-
quence of the illness Of the man play
ing it. So little time did he have to
prepare for the performance that a re-
hearsal was impossible. The part given
him TO study was in manuscript. The
man who had previously played it was
an eccentric person and had written In
lot of ridlculb bus stage directions. Sy-
monds was amSzed to find them in a
serious part, but supposed them all
right, and at evening appeared with his
lines and busill less pretty well learned.

uembled in TIL theatre. The curtain
was rung up ami the play commenced.
Soon Symonds went on. His first
speech described the misery of the
poverty stricken mother at home. After
it he danced a little break down, The
audience were amazed, aud the other act
ors on the stage dumb-founded. But
Symonds knew he was to follow his stage
directions. Presently he had to refuse
proposition to commit crime. He did
so III grand style, and then took of his
hat and jumped on it. This extraordi-
nary proceeding created sensation.
The manager came and stood In the
wings and suffered anguish. After his
next speech, a defiance 10 his tempter,
he crawled under the sofa. That just
set everybody wild, and the manager
danced up and down in the wings, and
swore he'd kill Symonds when he came
off. After touching love s enc with
the heroine, Symonds proceeded to
stand on his head and howl, and the
audience howled too, and the manager
shrieked to him to come off, But Sy-
monds didn't hear, and proceeded. He
spoke his next speech with such i'm
pressiveness and magnihcence of man
ner that the audience was, in spite OF
itself, hushed into respectful silence,
and at its close was about to applaud,
when Symonds panked off a boot and
hurled it viciously at the head of the
orchestra. That settled it. The leader,
who was badly hurt on the jaw by the
boot, came up over the footlights, and
the manager rushed on from the wings,
and the way they bounced Symonds
about was fearful. He made big fight,
and was still at 1t when the curtain was
rung Down. After they were IaEted,
Symonds explained, and showed his
part as a justification for his conduct.
But the manager would accept no ex-
cuse, and, going before the curtain,
said Ladies and gentlemen. occas"
ionally natu-al-born idiot, with phe-
nomenal faculty for making an ass ot
himself, is sent into the world. Such a
one has inflicted himself upon us to-
night. For my part, l have endured

ing him, and L presume you've had
enough of his donkeyism. Therefore

or rather, it contriYed itself. And I'll

"But it isn't mistake that 1 love

"Oh, but I didn't say that" confessed
Minnie. "At least-I thought un-

And when Mr.. Merriman, having
quieted Miss Jenkins's mind as to the
obscure passage in Revelations, came
back, Minnie was engaged to Harry
Ayton.
But you'll let the fair have the loaf
of bread, Haray?" coaxed Minnie.
Not a crumb!" said the lover. "Do
you suppose would let any one but
myself eat the b~ead-the first you ever
made, my darling? I'll send them a
check for $50 and let 'em buy their own
bread with it."
Aud so the hospital fair didn't get
Minnie Merriman's loaf of bread at all.

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

Little by little the time goes by
Short II you sing through II, long IL you sigh
Little by little-an hour, q day,
Gone with the years that have vanished away
Little by little the race is run,
Trouble anu waiting and toll are done!
Little by little the skies grow clear:
Little by little the sun comes near;
Little by little the days smile out
Gladder and brighter on pain and doubt;
Little by little the seed we SOW
Into beautiful yield will grow.
Little by little the world grows strong,
Fighting the battle OF Right and Wrong
Little by little the Wrong gives way,
Little by little the Right has sway,
Little by little all longing souls,
Struggle up nearer the shining goals,
Little by little the good in men
Blossoms TO beauty for human ken;
Lit by little the angels see
Prophecies better OF good 10 be;
Little by little the God OF all
Lifts the world nearer his pleading call!

Fiat Currency.

Japan is offering an instructive spec
tacle to the advocates of paper and
''fat' currency. About six years ago
that country decided to initiate Eas-
tern nations in an 1rredeemable paper
currency, and the result of this expert
ment has been unfortunate. The --latest
information from Japan is that the
paper money is now at discount Of 70
per cent. 1t has deprecated Ill value
almost from the start, though subject
to the quick fluctuations which invest
this unstable currency with one OF its
charms to a speculative people. For
o time the farmers in the interior pre-
ferred the new paper money to silver,
and as a result there has been much
suffering among them. No one knows
the amount in circulation, and the
country is suffering sadly from this
worthless substitute for money.

An Elevator Company Formed-At Least
Twenty TO be Erected for the Next Crop.
The agitation of the elevator and miller
combination, which the GLOBE has for some
time been engaged in, begins to bear fruit.
Though the Milleis' association has bought
nearly all of the elevators on the Manitoba
and Northern Pacific roads, they cannot
estop other parties from coming in with new
equipment.
The GLOBE is happy to announce that some
have enlisted some of our prominent capital
lists to join in forming stock company for
the purpose of building and operat-
ing elevators. The company will be styled
the "Northwestern Elevator company" with
the Office aud headquarters at st. Paul. 1t
begins business at once, has 100000 capital,
full paid up, and privilege of increasing to
one million. The first board Of directors CON

EACH Thereporter was permitted to inspect the
plans for these buildings yesterday, and they
were found to be very complete.
This amount of work will be done in time to
handle the next crop and much more extern
sive operations are in contemplation for the
near future. 1t has heretofore been
very difficult for our commission men
to get their transferring done, but
this new company, with large elevator at the
railway transfer, where empty Cars will al
ways be on hand, will remedy this effect. The
officers of the different roads which center at
the transfer are in full harmony with this
movement and will give 1t every encourage
ment.
The company embraces some of the heaviest
capitalists both in st. Paul and Minneapolis
and is one OF the strongest organizations In
the state. The farmers and general public
will bid the new organization welcome.

Ord,cay and Pettigre,c.

Especial to the Western Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The statement that
a committee representing a convention of 500
citizens of Dakota had asked the president to
remove Governor Ordway is declared by the
governor to be gross perversion OF facts.
The convention was held at Sioux Falls, the
home of Delegate Pettigrew, January 25. 1t
was q very influential and harmonious body,
called to aid the movement for the admission
OF Dakota as state. Delegates attempted to
Introduce resolutions endorsing Delegate Pet.
tigrew and denouncing Governor Ordway, but
were obliged to desist aud withdraw them.
Ono hundred and fifty delegates were ap-
pointed to visit Washington. but only about
one-third of those named came down
here by the wonderfully low rate of $40 for
the round trip, obtained through the influence
of railroad men anxious to have a new State
formed. Twenty such persons met here and
passed resolutions asking for the removal of
the governor, but only Eve persons accompa-
MED delegates to Pettigrew to see the presi-
dent. Governor Ordway here asked the presi-
dent to have the privilege of meeting these So
called petitioners in case there is to be any
consideration given their demands. So far the
governor claims he has been more influential
with the president than has the delegates, hav-
ing secured the reappointment of Judge
Campbell as district attorney and prevented
the nomination of McCloy as United States
marshal
