A story with q Moral.

The Hare and the Fish, having borrowed
tobacco of each other for several months,
and agreeing perfectly we'll on politics, set
out to make q journey together and see the
sights of the world. They had not proceeded
many miles when a Wolf was discovered in
pursuit. The Hare at once started off at the
top of his speed, but the Fish called out:
sDo not leave me thus-I cannot run?"
"a Fish who cannot run has no business to
make a journey" and away he flew to save
his bacon.
The Fish hurried after as fast as possible,
and both found themselves on the bank OF a
river while the Wolf was yet a furlong away.
The Fish at once rolled into the water and
darted away, but the Hare shouted after him:
stDo mt leave mel cannot sWim!"
IA Hare who cannot swim has no business
to make a journey" and be sailed away and
left the Hare to be eaten on the half-shell.
Noral-An owl who overheard the affair
from his perch in a persimmon drew down
lis left eye and softly said: "lou don
know a man until you have travelled with
him.

In speaking of Montana and Dakota beef,
the Minneapolis Tribune says: "The build
ing of the Northern Pacific railroad has
brought this city into such close communlca-
ton with the rich pastures of Montana and
Dakota, that there is now q fair prospect for
the solution of the problem of cheep beef
with the CRASHED, wild stock of the Rocky
mountain regions. The immense stock yards
at the Union Transfer grounds offer especial
facilities for killing without the danger Of
driving through the crowded streets of the
city, and also the superior advantage OF be-
ing adjacent to the markets OF both Minnea-
polls and st. Paul. 1t is understood that q
well known Minneapolis firm is preparing to
build ample abbattoire at the stock yards,
and that they will be butchering Montana
and Dakota cattle before the summer is over.

TENTION.

purpose Of electing SIX delegates to the

September 4, and six delegates to the 9th
congressional district convention to be
held at Fergus Falls, September 2, 1882,

MORRIS GR4DED school.
Written for the TRIBUNE

Written for the TRrBUNE.l
As the time approaches for the COM
mencement of another school year it may
not be inappropriate to call the attention
(if not wholly engrossed by political mat.
ters) of the people of this village to our
graded school. In doing this we feel that
it can be truthfully said that in no place do
the people feel more general interest in
their school, and in no place would the
subject receive reader attention, than here.
In beginning word may be said of the
school itself. 1t is probably well known
that, at the present time, we have a regular
high school department, and that here our
children may secure a thorough education
till the time when they are fitted to enter a
university or college; that to secure this
education definite amount Of work must
be done, this amount being prescribed by
the high school board. 1t does not rest with
upon the minimum amount to be done,
hence if the principal fails to do his duty
in obliging pupils to do certain required
work, their entrance to a state university
is impossible and their regular graduation
from this school ought TO be.
One of the greatest aids in accomplishing
this work is the regular attendance of the
pupils. To secure this is the proper duty
of the parent. It is not to be supposed
that the average boy will chose to study
six hours day in preference to playing
base ball, or tina. the average girl will pre-
fer coming Latin verb to playing GRO
quet. The parent who permits a child to
indulge this indolent habit, and to follow
their own inclination in this manner, is
doing the school an injury that is small in
comparison with theinjury they are doing
the child. 1t is the parents privilege to
first ascertain if there are teachers at the
head of the school suitable to have charge
of the education Of their sons and daugl-
ters; having ascertained this. not by hear.
sag (for dame Rumor often makes sad
mistakes); not from pupils even (for the
popularity Of teacher is no more an in
dication of his real worth than unpopu
larity is of unfitncss). but having asccr.
tanned this from q personal and fair inspec-
ton of the school itself, it is their duty 70
have their children attend without inter
ruption--if they can do SO without detrii
ment to their health Let it be femcm.
bered that during the few years our
children spend in school they are acquiring
that which shall last through life. and h
securing what, particularly ID this western
country, will enable them to occupy the
highest positions of usefulness and trust.
In short what will aid them Ia becoming
noble men and women.
In order to have most successful school
there must be those at lis head who lave
the welfare Of the school at heart, and hav.
. ing such ones, It Is certainly the parent'l

DEATH FROM SUFFOCATIoN.

Jos. Kent and VIM. Duggan came into
town yesterday and reported that John
Kenna, Of Tara, was suffocated in well
upon his place yesterday morning. He
was going down into it for some purpose,
but became oyerpowered when about ten
feet below the surface Of the ground and
fell to the bottom of the well which is
abont so feet deep. Another man had q
rope fastened to him and started down
after him, but followed SO and made such
struggles when about ten feet down that he
was drawn up, when he tainted us soon as
he got out. A chicken was then let down
nearly to the water and quickly drawn up,
and died as soon as it cane up. AT the
time they came in the body had not been
recovered. Mr.. Kenna was one OF the
best farmers and most influential men in
Tara, and leaves most excellent and de-
serving family.-Benson Times.

Mark d. .Flo,rer.

Thy steam boat mark D.. Flower,
owned by Charles II. Parmelee, which has
been used upon the Mississippi river here.
tofore, has been taken to Browns Valley,
and will, after being refitted, make daily
trips upon Lake Traverse between Mauda-
da and Browns Valley. The boat was
mounted upon two fiat cars aud brought
from ST. Paul to Morris on Saturday, and
could be seen side tracked here until mon
day morning, when it was taken 10 the
Valley. Mr.. Parmelee is also making two
bargcs which he will use in carrying wood,
lumber, and supplies of various kinds to
Maudada, and wheat upon the return trip
to Browns Valley. Maudada will hail the
arrival of the new boat with delight, for it
will furnish her communication with the
rest of the world, and her secluded citi-
zens will hereafter feel as big as anybody.

LEGISLATIYE.

For unlimited cheek and able bodied
lying the Traverse County Tribune.
owned by C. F., Washburn, is rapidly
drawing ahead ofall competitors. In
its last issue it speaks Of Messrs. Camp
bell and Wellsas the independent can
didates for the legislature.
Now, it is a well known fact to
every man in this district, and is dis
puted by none, that VIM. II. Campbell
and Mr.. Wells are the nominees of the
only republican convention that has
been held in the Forty-second district;
the rump- concern nominating WASH
burn and Larson, not even deserving
to be called convention. We submit
it to the fair minded republican voters
ofthe district if it is consistent, with
Mr.. Washburn's claim to be the regu-
lar nominee, for his mouth piece, the
Traverse County Tribune, to do all in
its power for the election of the demo-
cratic nominees, and we openly charge
C. F. Washburn with coqueting with
the democrats, to help elect their can
didates, and defeat the republican
ticket, aspart Of his rule or ruin policy.
Mr.. w. is young man, and may re-
pent, but let him beware that his re-
pentance comes not too late, else,
thought he may have the Washburn
brand, he will find that the branding
iron was too cold to make an impress
sion that the people can see, however
much he may expose his posteriors.
The gentleman from Herman was in
town yesterday, looking up his friends,
and we Judge those he found he carried
away in his vest pocket, as there are
none left. He claims that Grant
county is solid for him; this we very
much doubt, and venture the opinion,
that the people of the northern
half of his county will not forget the
king bee in the county seat fight, at
the tlictation of Mr.. Washburn.-Cor.

Deceased was born in Argyle, Maine,
removing with her parents west in 1854.
The insidious foe, consumption, left Its
hectic bloom upon her checks, and day by
day we saw her sink beneath its fatal
power. She was very patient amid her
sufferings and was glad to depart and be
at rest. A little less than year ago.
death entered and bore loved son away,
leaving the loved ones to miss his face SO
dear and familiar to them all. and now
another in the midst of youth has departed
leaving sad void in our hearts. The fun
eral was attended from the house on

How our lives are blighted,
How fond hopes decay;
How each wish is sighted,
That we dream to-day.
But we hope to meet them in that world
above;
Where sorrow never comes SO bleak and
drear,
Parting comes there never, all is peace
and love,
Well ever reign with those we love so
