Fighting Trouble.

No man need hope to dodge it or
rid himself of it altogether. What
ever his position, birth or circumstan-
ces, there 1T is 4::Eins in wait some.
where for him in his path. To one
man it comes in heart-rending grief,
the death, perhaps, of the one man or
woman dearer than his own soul. To
another it takes the shape of innu-
merable petty trials-dyspepsia, smo-
ky chimneys, cloud of unclean, bat
like disasters that flap about his way
increasingly and shut out the sunsh ne
into one perpetual twilight. This
man fights poverty all through his
lie; that, with money which he does
not value, is disgraced by an evil-do-
ing son, or racked by neuralgia jaw,
or vainly tortured by gnawing am
biiinn to push his way into some social
clique. Neither is there any use in
comparing or weighing these troubles
one against another, as we are apt to
do, boasting how easily We could
shoulder our neighbor's bur len. 1t is
the effect on the man, not the actual
sharpness of the pain that counts. II
troublesome stomach in one weak
f.llow ruins his tenn e., racks his
nerves and clouds his senses of God
60 dness, it is as heavy weight for
him to carry as the death Of his son
is TO stronger man, the amount of
hurt to body and brain being the
same. The thing beng inevitable the
wisest course at the outset would be
for each one to make up his mind TO
meet it, and in the surest and most
practical way strange and kill it
Bot how? Nature, that agent of Go |,
whose work is never neglected or I'M
done, has fitted each one with some
especial kind of armor against trouble,
belonging to his character, just as she
provided every afs>..ssll, from the lion
% the grub, with peculiar claws, poi
son, color or wings, as defense against
foes. :.

Business Opportunities"

The american Agricult,Wist for May
gives the following good advice:
While Young men are naturally on
the lookout for business opportunities,
there is at the same time class of
swindlers on the lookout for them. A
large share of what appear to be un-
wary, regular business advertisements,
are really schemes to attract those who
are seeking the best Iilance to invest
their small capital.
Whenever you, residing at dis
lance, see an advertisement in city
paper-it makes no difference whether
1t is in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia or Chicago paper-setting forth
that that the advertiser wants to find
partner" in a business "that will
yield 40 per cent. or more annually,
do not become that partner. If you
do the result will be as it has J ereto-
fore been in 80 cases out of 100, you
and your money will soon be perma-
nently separated These are traps for
catching the unwary. If any person
has a business that will pay 40 per
cent, or even 20 per cent, he can pro-
cure "a partner without advertising
Another class of-awifalers TO be shun-
ned are those who in their advertise
ment offer good position on the pay
ment of "a small deposit" These
fellows are almost Invariably rascals
Whoever sends money to them with
the expectation of getting place, will
be likely TO die of cd age before he
has secured the position, or obtained
pos session of his money again.
When you see an advertisement
that begins Immense Chance for II
Young Man. lerthat chance go.
= When there are offered "Sure and
Large Profits in Cattle and SHEEP
Raising go ont frstand find whether
there are any cattle or sheep, or any
place to raise them on.
When an advertiser wants "a Live
Helper for business of great value
and profit" learn all about him before
you become that helper. He may be
all right, but make sure of the fact.
When you read that "a few hundred
dollars will secure business that af-
fords good living ask the adverti-
ser to give full description of this
business.
When you are informed that an ad-
vertiser here in the East will give you
"eight per cent. for your money, and
good first class mortgage rs security
do not do it. If the security is worth
anything, h can get all the money he
wants at five per cent. Then why
should he want to pay you or any
body else eight yer cent
Whenever any one offers to trade
you for your farm some shares in a
valuable mining company, or some
other stock organization, don't you do
it-keep your farm.
Whenever your attention Is attract
ed by flaming advertisements and an
nouncements OF wonderful cures eff
tected by this or that medicine, don t
lie deceived. Ask your regular ply
stefan before investing in bottle. he
will invariably tell you TO keep your
money.

Ny DEAR HARRY Il have your
letter here this morning. | enclose
you another check for 925.
Now, observe attentively. We must

ance Be particular in the minutest
detail.
I wish to have no secret from you
in the relations we are about to estab-
lish together, and therefore send you
Joe Chitty's letter bodily. Reading
it, you will know exactly what know,
and will understand that l treat you
with perfect confidence. It appears
to me that an allowance of G250 per
year will be handsome for all your
wants. / mean this to include your
tailors bills as we'll as every other ex-
pense, and l strongly recommend you
to buy nothing in Cambridge, and
take credit for nothing but the clothes
which your tailor provides you. AS
soon as you have got your furniture
accounts in, let US wipe all those pre-
liminarv expenses clean out, and I will
then send YOU your first quarter We
will count it in October, November
and December, and your second quar-
ter will begin with the new year. IF
Won dislike at first taking charge of so
large sum as 962 40s., YOU can have
yonr money from me half quarterly.
You know how hard | worked for
what | got, and think you know that
] Lever had money help from any hui
man creature after l was child. You
know that you are one of many heavy
charges on me, and ! trust to your so
exercising your abilities and improv-
ing the advantages of your past ex-
pensive education as soon to diminish
his charge. l say no more on that
head
Whatever yon do, above all other
things, keep out of debt and confide
in me. If you sver find yourself on
the verge of any perplexity or diff
Guilty come to me. You will never
find me hard on you while you are
manly and truthful,
As your brothers have gone away
one by one, l have written to each one
of them what am now going to write
to you. You know that you have
never been hampered with religious
forms of restraint, and that with mere
unmeaning forms | have no sympathy.
But | most strongly and atfectionately
impress upon you the priceless value
of the New Testament and the study
Of that book MS he one unfailing guide
in life. Deeply respecting it and bow
ing dewn before the character of our
Saviour as separated fron the vain
and inventions of men,
You cannot go very wrong. and will
always preserve at heart true spirit
Of generation and humility.
Similarly | impress upon you the
habit of saying Christian prayer ev-
cry night and morning. These things
have stood by me all through my life,
aud remember that | tried to render
the New Testament intelligib to Won
and lovable by you when mere baby.
And so God bless YOU,
Ever your atfectionate
FATHER.

n. S. Cook, from Battle Creek, Mi
chigan, representing the Advance
Threshers. has been confined to his
room for some time past, at the Me-
tropolitan, with serious spell of
sickness; but is able to be around
again. He acknowledge his apprecia-
ton of the excellent care and kind
attention bestowed on him by the host
and his estimable lady, during his
sickness. Being amongst strangers,
and in distress, better place than the
above is hard to find, and thanks are
due the popular proprietor and
hostess.
1t may not be very extraordinary
nice te go through the back yard of 81
hotel even on business, unless you
held your nose with both hands; but
it would be exceedingly nice and
proper to have drains to relieve them
dirty water which they are forced to
throw just out the back door, creating
mud and filth to their own as well as
the great disgust of the public. Not n
cellar, for want of drainage, can be
built ON our front and main business
street, unless boats are in readiness
to novigate the pond of water which
would gather in it by digging. Gel
lars are very important portions of a
mans place of merchantile business,
and to say there is not cellar under
store or grocery in any four of the
best business blocks in town, strikes
an outside or new conner, as almost
disastions business management,
where there is such a cheap remidy at
hand.
The Committee appointed by the Board
of Trade, to look after the best interest
of the town, has, it is supposed, been
shot, whetherin the neck, or other
wise, we are unable to say. The
President of the Board, has not seen
any of the members at meetings in
such a long time, that we understand
he has requested them by printed
notices to send in their photographs, to
see if he can still recognize any of
their number. He thinks the Board
is doing itself great injustice, spend
ing so many weary days and sleepless
nights, laboring for the benefit of the
place and surrounding community.
An excursion now, would be just the
thing to give them all rest.

DULUTH'S SENSATION

The unsalted metropolis has not
been SO stirred To her rocky foundation
since the panic of '73, as now over the
Mitchell arrest. lis fair to saw that
the weight of opinion and sympathy
at his home is heavily against Mr..
Mitchell, whether that fact has or has
not any bearing upon the prot ability
of his guilt. Mitchell has for fifteen
years used the power of his printers
ink with brutal license to intimidate
and villify every resid mt of Duluth
and Minnesota who happened to fall
under his displeasure. His paper was
for years the conduit for the vilest
billingsgate that frontier journalism
ever inventen. No character has
been SO upright as to escape his bias
phemy. AT one time his course be-
came so outrageously indecent as to
bring his journal under the ban of the
postotfice department, and since that
shaking up he has preserved a greater
semblance of decorum. In Duluth he
has attempted to rule with rod OF
iron, i'll politics, in religion, in society,
in business. With his favorite weap-
ons of vituperation and calumny he
has succeeded in cowing men who
ought to have been more courageous.
A highwayman could not have used
an editors position with more coward
ly insolence. Those who know these
facts can understand why in his pres
ent trouble few of his neighbors stand
by him, and few of the better class of
citizens believe in his innocence. 1t
is Mr.. Mitchell's own fault if he finds
himself friendless when he most needs
friends.-Minnesota Tribune, July Is.
We do not desire to be at all inquisi-
tive, but we would to know how it
was that Hon. Knute Nelson, with all
the sound judgment, good sense, and
foresight he is credited with having
came to appointMr. Mitchell to the Du-
luth land office And the next mystery
is, how came Senator Sabin so consent
to it? There must be Niger in the
fence somewhere, and we would like
to see the white of his eye once. If
Mr.. Nelson was forced to make the APP
pointment to compensate for dirty
work done, who had the benefit OF
that kind OF work? Let those who
ought to know toot us aloud the secret
of the proceedings.

ST. PAUL, July 2O.-As everywhere
else in the United States yesterday as
in st. Paul a little before noon all the
operators of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, who belong to the

Including the manager and other local
officials there were about eight opera
tors left at their desks in place of the
20 or 80 who form the full complement
of the office. OF course this created
great confusion in the business of the
company.
