THE CONTENTED FARMER.

Once upon time, Frederick, King
of Prussia, surnamed "Old Fritz. J"
took ride. and cspied an old farmer
blowing his acre, 4 checrily singing
his melody.
You must be we'll off. old man."
said the King. docs this acre be-
long to you on which you SO indus
triously labor"
40 sir replied the farmer. who
knew not that i, was the King. II am
not So rich Iplow for wages"
How much do you get day."
asked the King.
Eight groschcn," said the farm
THAT is not much" replied the
King Can you get along with
this."

left"
Vow is that"
The farmer smiled, and said ::
well. if must tell you. Two gros-
chen for myself aud wife; and with
two pay the old debts; two lend
away: and two ! give away for the
Lord sake"
This is mystery cannot solve"
replied the King. .
Then l will solve it for YOU"
said the farmer " ! have two old
parents at home, who kept me when
| was weak and needed help; and
now that they are weak and need
help. help them. That Is my debt
toward which pay two groschen a
day. The third pair Of groschen,
which lend away. l spend for my
children, that they may learn some

the Lords sake"
The King, we'll pleased with his
| answer said:
Bravely spoken. old man. Now

Have you ever seen RE before:"
Never" said the farmer.
"In less than five minutes you
shall see me fifty times. and carry in
your rocket fifty of my Ike

This is a ridi cannot unrav-
ell" said the farmer.
Then I will do it for you" said
the King.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket.
and counting him fifty brand new

HEEDLESS OF SAM WELLERS', AD
VICE
detroit Free Press. |

Officer Button, of the Union Depot,
| picked up the other day memorsn-
DUN book evidently lost by some one
attending the State fair. All the en-
tries were in business like manner,
and some of them are readable. The
! first entry is:
Shall take $40 with me to the
State fair. Second-class hotel good
enough for me Beware of pickpock
cts. Keep your eyes open for a good
looking widow. View the animals
and don't forget to take clean hand
kerchiefs along
The second read:
Fair up to the average. Saw a
widow in the car going up. Didn't
seem to like my style. Somebody
has struck me with bogus half-dol-
lar Saw another widow on the
grounds. Rather too stout. Viewed
the animals and was kicked by a
steer"
Third entry:
Good attendance. Slept on the
floor. JaIa on the street cars. Pass
ed the bogus money off on boot
black. Saw a widow at the hotel.
Most too lean. Went to the play.
Saw several widows, but had no
chance to make an IMPRESSION
Fourth entry:
big crowd on the grounds. Beat
my way in. Saw a widow on the
fence. Most .o) boisterOus for my To-
callly. Saw horse race. One horse
bea. all the others. Viewed the ma
chinery. and was hit on the ear by u
loafer. Saw a widow viewing head
less rooster. Mouth much to large
for my part of the State. Slept in a
barn for nothing
Fifth entry:
Saw widow in the postoffice.
Blind in one eye. No good. Big jam.
Tried to beat my way in. but couldn't.
Saw a horse race. Saw a widow on
the grand stand. Bowed to her. Cold
cut. Viewed the big OK. Saw
widow in Honey Hall. Raised my
hat. Got left. Feel blue"
As that was the last entry it would
seem as if he gave up in disgust and
started for home A person supppos-
ed to be him saw widow" at the
depot Friday afternoon, and became
so obnoxious that she hit him over
the head with an umbrella and two
or three men reached for him with
COWhide boots.

Now We cannot have q new reader
every week (may the time soon
come when we can3 but much c, n
be done to keep up the interest of
the pupils, without which little can
be accomplished. All the reading
matter suitable for the pupils, to
which they have access should be
brought into use. One may have a
Chatterhos; another a Nursery; a
mother little paper. Stories may
be read by the teacher or pupils;
they may be written on the board or
states. Easy lessons in nature may
be given. Whenever the interest
in the reading book begins to flag,
something new should be brought
to light. All Of this means work
for the teacher; but one who is I'M
willing to work has no eright to
choose teaching as calling.
With advanced pupils such ex-
ercises are more easily introduced as
they have access to greater variety
of literature All of which, news-
papers, books, and magazines may
be made useful in the reading class.
Another means of securing Il e
object sought in our reading exer
clses is to encourage pupils to real
at home. On questioning pup Is
who read better than the rest of
their class We have invariably found
that they did more or less reading
at home. Their parents liked to
hear them and talked with them
about what they read.

The Fire nj Richland Center.


Richland Center, Wis, Jan. 49,
The most destructive fire that has
ever occurred here, swept through
the very heart of the city at an
early hour this morning, entailing
loss of fully seventy-ive thousand
dollars The fire started in wood
en- building on Center street, occu-
pied by A. H. Floaten as q grocery
store, and from that communicated
to the adjoining buildings. Among
the business houses destroyed is
that of the Hon. a. III. krouskop,
mammoth block, the finest in the
city, which was occupied by him as
store and George krouskop as a
bank, and Black Il Burnham rs a
law office, also Floaten's grocery
store and w II. Piers abstract
office. The fire had got under such
headway that the fire department
though on the ground early and
making herculcan eifotts were una
bic to stay the progress of the
flames. The cold weather prevent
ed the fire engine from working to
good advantage Most of the goods
and contents OF the buildings were
saved although in badly damaged
condition. During the progress OF
the fire several kegs of gunpowder in
Floaten's store exploded with great
force breaking the windows in all
the buildings on the opposite side OF
the street. The explosion scattered
the immense crowd, who were
watching the progress of the flames,
in every direction, but luckily none
were injured. The loss is as follows.
rs near rs can be ascertained at this
writing: \. IL. krouskop, building
and stock, $4,000; Geo. krousknp,
bank fixtures, $1,000; Black & Burn
ham, law, library and office fixtures,
1000; \. II. Fluaten, stock, 5000;
w. II. Piers abstract office. $4,000.
The insurance will cover about half
of the loss.

EDITORS AND PRoPKIEToRs.
After two weeks deliberation, the

AFTER TWO week. UeliUeTdtlOD, the
eiitor and the proprietor of the
Dodgeville Sun charge On Us from
two different quarters. With his
usual suavity the witty editor, by
publishing few garbled extracts
and headings from our columns,
tries to show that The Democrat
has been inconsistent in political
matters and that we are as deep in
the mud as he is i'll the mire." But
it is no use. The Democrat always
was, is now, and ever shall be as
true to the principles of democracy
as the needle to the pole.
As to the column of rage which
the proprietor of The Sun gives vent
to in the Chronicle, we have only to
say. that for whatever interest he
had in The Democrat, we gave him
ample security, paid him good inter
est, and afterwards paid him back
the principal i'll good and lawful
money. Further than this, we shall
not attempt to answer his TRADE.
For one might as well attempt to
answer a bad smell. By excluding
it from the columns of the Sun, the
editor has given evidence Of being,
as claimed by the proprietor, "a
man of honor and brains"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-02-02

Both houses of congress are en-
gagged in discussing the tariff ques-
ton. The Senate seems disposed to
do something in the way of reform,
and grant some relief to the over
taxed consumers Of the country.
There are several good features
about the portion Of the bill already
passed upon by that body. Lum-
Der is placed upon the free list, and
very material reductions are made
in the duties on iron.
In the House things appear less
promising. 1t is confidently claimed
by high tariff members of that body
that they have strength enough to
pass the bill reported by the ways
aud means committee just as it now
stands, or nearly so. This bill is
adroitly framed so as to reduce i'm
port duties, while in fact it does no
such thing 1t is characterized by
leading tariff reformers as the most
iniquitous tariff measure ever pre-
sented to an American congress. 1t
would seem that the difFarent posi-
tons taken by the two houses
would prevent any measure at all
from being passed at this session.
But it is encouraging to see the Sen
ate favorably disposed towards
reform; because most of the Senators
will have an opportunity of acting
in conjunction with the next house
of representative, in which protec-
tionists will doubtless be kept in the
background.
