Eye-Service.


Upon going into downtown offics
last week, saw two boys at work adj
dressing envelopes-or rather one was
at work. while the other, with his pen in
his hand, was looking out of the window.
Their employer was seated near bv.
and when he caught my eye he smiled.
Which of those TWO boys is the bet
ter workman, and the most valued. do
you think?n he asked me, in a low
voice.
1.-The one at work. should suppose, !"
I rejoined.
''No, sir; that lad who is looking from
the window now, does so because he
thinks there is no harm in it-does it.
You see, under my eyes. On the other
hand, while my eyeis on them, the other
boy is the most industrious, but find in
my absence he does nothing. So ycu see
he adds deceit to his fault Iwould not
trust him out of my sight"
1t seems to me that neither OF, them
is worth very much.
"To be sure" came the immediate
answer, ga boy who attended to his
duties at all times would be best; but a
boy who renders eye-service merely,
who can not be trusted to work without
watching, is not to be tolerated."
The man who had seen this had seen
much of the world; he knew whereof
he spoke, and perhaps some of our
young readers will profit by his words.

What whisky and Clock Jones Did.

That winter we were in camp on
Panther Creek was one never to be for

ed rocks in the hills and worked knee

No one was making fair living, to say
nothing OF adding to the store which was

the States and to wife and children.
1t was not enough that times were
hard, the weather bad and good share
of the men sick, but the blacklegs came
down from Thunder Bend and up from
Aunt Sally's Town and made themselves
quite at home among us. They were
well stocked with whisky and gambling
devices, and more than one of our men
who had dug and delVed for months to
get a few dollars ahead saw it pass into
the hands of these hyenas.
When Richard Smith lost his dust and
raised. kick one of the gamblers put a
knife into him to settle the argument.
That action stirred up the town, and in
the row that followed four or five men
were killed and as many more wound
ed. After this affair the town was
pretty quiet for a fortnight, and then
occurred the incident set out to re-
late.
One of the best-natured men in camp
was man from Connecticut, generally
known by the name of Clock Jones.
When he let Frisco for the diggings
he carried with him an old-fashioned
family clock, and for year or two be
and the clock were ''pards'' and trav-
eled in company and were never out of

came to be known by the front name
of "Clock," and if the title did not
please him no one ever heard him OBJ

frozen or to prevent those violent alter

November and remains frozen until
February or March we should prefer
the mulch not until the latter month. A

The Speed and Size Of Atlantic Waves.


The London Nautical Magazine con-
tains an article by Captain Riddle, the
Atlantic steamship commander, on the
height and velocity of Atlantic waves, a
subject which, as he says. is to seamen
one of the most important of the day.
1t has been asserted that the average
velocity of great Atlantic waves is about
nine m les an hour. But Captain Kid
die states that he has frequently meas
ured the speed in Atlantic gales and
foundit " twenty-five miles per hour,
plus the rate at which the ship was

THE FALL0W FIELD.


The sun comes up and the sun goes down;
The night mist shroudeth the sleeping town;

Looking up to the changeful sky.

Never a crop my acres yield.

Yet, o my neighbors, be not too proud,
Though on every tongue your praise is loud.

R. G. Judson, secretary of the State
Agricultural society, spent the past week
among the stockmen of our neighboring
State of Wisconsin, in looking for attrac-
lions for the forthcoming State fair, and
writes he has had much better success than
he anticipated.
Owing to the space taken up by the list
of Minnesota trotting stations given else
where, number of special matters in
tended for this issue have had to be omit
ted, while our general turf and stud news
is considerably curtailed. But the splen-
did showing made of the trotting stations
of the state much more than compensates
for the short comings.
Mr.. Reuben Whittemore, of Rushford, in
giving the pedfgrees of his two stations,
Acme and j. B. Walker, father and son, in
the list given elsewhere, adds a note that
he will sell one of them. By an examination
of the pedigrees gwen, thoroughly estab-

Creditors, Maetinc

CHICAGO, April 14.-At meeting of the
stockholders of the Union Iron and Steel
company this afternoon, it was unani-
meusly decided to increase the capital
stock from $1,600,0O0 to $3,OOO,OOO, the
increase to be used for the purpose of
effecting settlement with creditors.
President Stone said he could give US no
idea when the works would be started, but
they probably would be at such time as
the demands of the creditors were satisfied,
and this was being arranged as rapidly as
possible.
