Mr.. p. I. Stafford, of Madison,
Ohio, travelling agent for Z. w.
Walker d Co, Goshen, Indiana,
called at the GRAPHIC office this week.
MIR. Stafford has travelled extensively
all through Dakota and has just re-
turned from a trip out on the North
ern Pacific. He says South Dakota,
in his estimation, is a long ways
ahead of any part of the Territory he
has seen, and thinks the climate here
perfect.
If Tie farmers who will keep dogs
would get rid of their worthless ours
and substitute one wcll-brcd shepherd
pup, not more, to each farm, the
wealth of every farming community
would be vastly increased in many
ways. Farmers soon find the collie
saving them many a step. Eager and
anxious to learn, willing to do any,
thing within his power, the young
dog needs cl.ly a wise and patient
restraint, and intelligent direction, TO
become a most useful hand on the
place
Budd Parks and Geo. Z. Llchty,
two of our cn,erprising young men,

Bro. Cooley's attack on Bro. Willis
in \ recent issue Of the Buffalo Her.
aid reminds us Of the following story.
An old but not altogether pious
deacon owned abul!, which, although
usually Of a kind temperament,
sionally became unruly. One day
the bull jumped the pasture fence
and made for the railroad, running
close by. AS the old fellow stood on
the track believing, throwing up dirt
and bidding defiance to all the world,
a locomotive approached HIS bull
ship never tiinched, but stood his
ground and awaited the oncoming en-
CINE with lowering head and flashing
eye. In another minute he was tossed
a maigled heap into the ditch. The
deacon was :. d;s.an: witness to the
whole proceedings and soon was on
the spot. Gazing down on the dead
bull he remarked: "Well, old fellow
/ admire your pluck, anyway, but
d--n your Judgement"
a young man of Chicago sat up
with a young woman and broke two
Of her ribs hugging her. The gnl's
father took the young man into the
library and talked to him materially
for an hour. He told him that his
daughter was not a gymnasium and
thatin hugging, judgment, gentleness
and discretion were required as in
many other of life's duties. He as
surcd him that If he had known that
it was a grizzly bear he was to risk
his daughter with he would have
bought a cage for the young man to
sit in while sparkling. He asked him
how 1t was that his education had
been SO neglected that he did not
know that woman was the weaker
vessel. He wanted to know of him
if he thought that a woman as to RIBS
could be repaired with as much ia
cility as al umbrella. The young
man endured the ordeal as long as
possible, but at last rushed from the
patcrnal presence ana hired a lake
sailor to kick him by the hour.
