Ten minutes later the doctor en-
tered quietly, and had the happiness
of seeing his patient sitting by the
side of Frank, clasping his hands in
her own.
"Why, Doctor" she exclaimed,
.here is my dear Frank. He has
come ut last. He says the cars were
off the track, and were delayed few
hours. We were to be be married
tomorrow, you know"
"Yes, Florence" said the doctor,
taking her hand kindly, shut you
have not been very well lately, and
it will be better to defer your mar
riage for a few days."
'But you will not go away any
more, Frank. until after our we'd
ding? ?" said Florence, very anxious
ly.
''No. indeed" said her lover, the
tears starting to his eyes. sand we
will be married just as soon as you
are well enough for us to go on our
wedding tour"
No allusion was made at that time
to what had occurred, but after some
days, in answer to her questions, she
was gradually permitted to learn the
whole truth.
OF the sudden fright, however, she
remembered nothing. The last thing
her memory recalled in connection
with that terrible affair was an incl
dent that occurred about four hours
previous to that event, when her
father, as she said, came in and told
her that the train was behind time,
having been due for an hour. All
after that was a blank, the terrible
shock having, by some strange law
of the mind, reflected backward. so
as to wipe out entirely the recollec-
ton of what had occurred in those
four preceding hours.
She referred, however, occasionally
to having heard Frank singing in the
adjoining rooms, and wondering why
he did not comein where she was.
This had seemed, however, more like
a dream than reality.
Her recovery was rapid. Although
possessed of highly wrought ner-
vous temperament, her constitution,
previous to this sad affair, had been
good. and her health was soon re-
stored, leaving no trace of the mem
tai disturbance and injury she bad
suffered.
The marriage took place soon after
her complete recovery.

Who concocted plan
To bride woman's to.igue;
But he made such mess,
That be died in distress,
And has gone to his rest unsung.
He had measured the length.
But mistaken the strength;
And these are the facts, my friends;
1t was part of the plot,
To tie in knot
The rapidly moving ends.
An unfortunate crank,
To encourage the prank,
Proposed his wife for the fun;
He thought it would end
As joke on his friend,
But the circus had scarce begun.
As he stood in the door
OF his wifes boudoir,
With cord in his evil hand,
Her tongue flew out,
And it moved about
In a way that was fiercely grand.
Then his friends ran in,
And a glorious din
Arose on the morning air
But the king of the plan
Was a fallen man,
And the wound was plain to be seen.
The machine. of course,
In its wonderful force,
Had fioored our ingenious friend
And, before he could rise,
lie was struck in the eyes
And killed by the other end.

Scalping Of the Indians by the Col
Onists.

recognized part of colonial warfare.
Hannah Dustin, who escaped from
Indian captivity in 1898, took ten
scalps with her own hand, and was
paid for them. Captain Church,
undertaking his expedition against
the Eastern Indians, in 1907, after
the Deerfield massacre, announced
that they had not hitherto permitted
the scalping Of :" Canada men," but
should thenceforth allow it. In
1922, when the Massachusetts colony
sent an expedition against the vii.
lage of |" praying Indians" founded
by Father Rasle they offered for each
scalp a bounty Of Els. afterwards
increased to 800 T; and this inhu.
manity was so far carried out that
the French priest himself was one Of
the victims. jeremiah Bumstead
of Boston, made this entry in his
almanac in the same year: Aug
%. 2S Indian scalps brought to Bos-
ton. one of which was Bombazen's,
an Indian chief, and one fryer
Rallies" Two years after the cele.
brated but inappropriately named
Captain Lovewell, the foremost In.
dian fighter of his region, came upon
ten Indians asleep around pond ;
he and his men killed and scalped
them all, and entered Dover, New
Hampshire, bearing the ten scalps
stretched on hoops and elevated on
poles. After receiving an ovation
in Dover they went by water to
Boston, and were paid thousand
pounds for their scalp.. Yet Love
wells party was always accompan-
led by a chaplain, and had prayers
every morning and evening.
The most painful aspect Of the
whole practice lies in the fact that
it was not confined tothose actually
engaged in fighting, but that the
colonial authorities actually estab-
lished. a tariff of prices for scalps,
including even non-combatants-so
much for mans. SO much for a
woman's, so much for child's. DIR.
Ellis has lately pointed out the
striking circumstance that whereas
William Penn declared the person
of an Indian to be sacred his
grandson in 1764 offered s134 for
the scalp of an Indian man, s13O for
that of a boy under ten, and $50 for
that of a woman or girl. The habit
doubtless began in the fury of retail
iation, and was continued IN order
to conciliate Indian allies and
when bounties were offered to them
the white volunteers naturally
claimed share. But there is nc
doubt that Puritan theology helped
the adoption of this practice. II
was partly because the Indian was
held to be something worse than 8
beast that he was treated as being al
least a beast. The truth was thai
he was viewed as fiend, and there
could not be much scruple about

New York, March 10th, 1883:
Colonel Mapleson is out with his an
nouncement for the spring Opera
Season which begins on March II.
AS usual he promises largely. On pa
per lie has an immense array Of prime
donne, a brigade Of tenOri, bassi and
baritones, a couple of batallions of
ladies of the ballet, headed by the peer-
less Cavalazzi and an immense supply
of ammunition in the shape of an eX-
tensive repertoire, But the people
have had so many unfulfilled promises
from the impresario of Her Maiesty's
Opera Company, that as few wise old
Trojans did with the Greeks, they fear
the Mapleson's even when they come
with gifts in their hands. AS usual,
when Patti sings we shall be obliged
to take Nicolini into bargain, which iG
rather sharp thorn to take with ones
rose. Resides l.atti is Obliged 10 be
very careful With her voice. Her
travels this winter under Mapleson's
management did certainly not benefit
her: When abe returned to town a
few days ago, shv was suffering from a
decided cold and hoarseness. Now
colds are anythlrg Z but little things to
prima donna of any age, and to n
woman other years they are very risky.
Thus the initiated few are already
making up their minds that we shall
see but little of Patti this seasan ana
that Meyerheet't 'Atoile du Nord,"
which is promised us will again prove
nothing but hope unfulfilled.
Every auctioneer of fine art works

fact that at all the picture sales thus

NORRIS, March ~, 1883.

MORRIS, March II, 1888.
To tie EtIfUr Norris Tribunc:
Almost every newspaper that one
sees that is printed in this part of the
state is full of rejoicing that farmers
have at last found out the errors of
their ways, and are Invariably in favor
of changing from raising grain to
raising stock, each one trying to
Outdo the rest in showing the great
blunders OF the farming community
in sticking to the raising Of grain
when they can raise cattle so much
easier, with high profits and less dam
ger of loss.
Now let us give the matter Il fair
and impartial investigation, and |
think you will agree with me in say
ing that wheat alone has been the one
great factor in Minnsota's prosperity,
and has in a few years placed her in a
position of importance second to no
other state in the west. It has given
employment and homes to the thous-
ands of poor families that could never
get start any other way; it has been
the means of building railroads in
every part of the state, and in fact,
has been the greatest source of income
for the past thirty years, and venture
to say it will he for the next thirty,
A few years ago you would find the
h. IN Il
nunciation of grain raising, full of the
"Glories of Western Farming;' how
easy it was to get a half section Of
land by tree claim and homestead,
break up the same or part of it the
first year; raise twenty bushels Of
wheat per acre, worth one dollar per
bushel the next year, and after paying
for teams, wagons, machinery, etc,
have nice stake left.
Now, almost any one from st. Paul
to Winnipeg can tell you that this is
an experiment in which theory and
practice do not agree. And stock
raising OH paper is no more apt to be
correct. And would it not be wise to
draw line through the center of both,
and make haste slowly, and not jump
from one extremity to the other.
What if our crops for the past few
years have been rather below the av-
erage, is it not our own fault to GER
tain extent? | think that you will all
agree with me when ! say that the
greatest curse Of our country has been
in breaking more land than the farm
ers have been able to cultivate proper
ly, and that the last two years have
shown most of us this one fact. And
am afraid that if the farmers buy
one-half the stock they say they are
going to, that, like the large farms,
they will find by bitter experience
that they haye not the means to carry
on stock raising Oh SO large a scale,
and that for farmers in moderate Cir
cumstances slow and almost impers
ceptible change would give better re-
suits. I want to show, if possible,
without taking up too much of your
valuable space, how much better it
would be to make the change gradual
ly. To have pastures of tame grass
and barns and sheds for their stock,
all of which cost a large sum of
money, is absolutely necessary to the
successful carrying out of their plans.
