he stood no chance of collecting the

planned to oblige her to dismiss him,
and began by adding one-fourth water
to the milk. No fault being found he
put in fifty per cent. of water. Three
days passed witho it complaint, and the
amount of water rose to seventv-five per

served her with two quarts of water col

THE TRUMPETER's HORSE.

I was nearly forty years of age, and
felt myself so safely anchored in the
peaceable haven OF a bachelor life that
nothing eoull induce me to run the
risk of disturbing it by marriage. But
i had reckoned without the trumpeter' S
horse.

that arrived at Paris from Baden, in
tending only to remain four and twenty
hours. 1 had invited four or five friends
to join me in Potion for the hunting sea
son. and as they were to arrive at the
beginning Of October ! had only al
lowed myself a week at La Roche large
to prepare for their reception. A letter
from home awaited my arrival at Paris,
bringing me the disastrous Intelligence
that out of twelve horses five had
fallen i'll or lame during my stay at
Baden, so that ] was under the ne es,

age price of which was t12O, but Twas
neither in humor nor in cash to throw
away my money upon such useless
beasts. 1t was Wednesday. the day
OF Cheri's autumn sale; / went to the
Rue de Ponthieu and purchased at a
venture eight horses which cost me al

The scene which cnsned in the coz.
stitutional convention at Sioux Falls
when the news Of Judge Edgerton's
decision ia the quo warranto case was
announced shows how heartily the peo.
pie OF southern Dakota havesympathized
with the proceedings against the capital
commission. The Sioux Falls Press &C.
count Of the affair says:
When the convention reassembled at
p. M. j. X. Gamble OF Yankton arose
to personal privilege and announced
that he had telegram to the effect that
the Judgment in the capital commission
case, onsting the commissioners from

capital commission unconstitutional and
void.
The announcement was received with
the widest enthusiasm, and delegates
clapped their hands, yelled and threw
their hats into the air.

The st. Paul Pioneer-Press is becem.
ing more and affectionate in its manner
toward the constitutional convention.
In recent issue it begins long EDITOR.
al with the following paragraph:
The wolk of the Sioux Falls conyen.
tion grows as it goes. A spirit of devo.
tion to the public welfare seems to have
increased among the members with the
prosecution of the purpose which called
them together, and the work of each
days session increases in interest as
compared with that OF the preceding.
Proceeding in a'spirit of fair discussion,
the Pioneer Press, touching upon that
portion of the constitution abolishine
the grand jury system, says:
The abolition of the grand jury, in the
face of the provision of the constitution
OF the United States which says that
No person shall be held to answer for
capital or otherwise Infamous crime,
unless on presentment and indictment
by grand jury, except in cases arising
in the land or naval forces, or in the
militia, when IN actual service, in time
OF war or public danger" is question.
able matter.
Under common construction this sec.
tion applies only to actions in which
the general government is party and it
is not presumed that the state of Dakota
will attempt in its constitution to inter-
fere with the prerogatives of the United
States. But in all matters pertaining to
| state prosecutions 1t can abolish the
grand jury system and the experience OF
the past teaches us that such step is
desirable. The constitution of the state
of Wisconsin was amended some ten
years ago by the. insertion of clause
abolishing the grand jury system and nc

state in ridding itself Ct an expensive,
useless and absolutely dangerous tri.

1t appears that the people of Bismarck
are having hilarious time over the de.
cision of Judge Edserton. that is they
ale endeavoring to convince the outside
world that they look upon the judgment
of the court as an amusing piece OF liter
ature. A Bismarck telegram reads:
The decision of Judge Edgerton, oust.
ing the capital commission, causes more
merriment than fear here, pending the
decision of the supreme court of the ter.
ritory and of the United States supreme
court, where the capital removal bill will
surely be taken by one side or the other.
The commissioners will continue to act
and have full control. This fact leaves
Bismarck quiet and confident that the
act of the legislature repeating that
chapter of the political code which fixed
the seat OF government permanently at
Yankton will finally be sustained. The
contractors of the capitol building called
on the commissioners to-day aud assured
them that they we're ready to 60 on with
the work. which will be pushed to com.
pletion before Christmas.
The endeavor to put good
face on the matter Is
characteristic. People who violate the
laws and are brought to sudden halt il
their illegal course are usually disposed
to cover their countenances with ghastly
smiles just to make the world believ,
that they haven't lost confidence il
themselves. We presume that Mckenzie

here is a dream of John, and there is 8 tear

 and here comes creeping in a quivering
 strain from some old, old hymn that is hal
 lowed to us now because her lips blessed it

 down while the old hands turned over the
 leaves of the Bible that seemed never to be

 across the pasture and the mowinglot down
 to the wooded hills where the birds are an- sWerlng winds; here the old eyes slept for few minutes, and here is knot. An, yes, Philie and Annie are home this week and the house is full of their children. There will
 be many more knots in the yarn before the stocking is finished. Who is the boy whose fate 1t IS to hold on his extended hands the ske1n Of yarn while grandma winds it of atter the romPlng youngsters who taunt him with shrleks of laughter as they desert him. But never niind, grandma comforts him with splendid stories of Uncle Docs pranks when he was boy and went to school at Car mlchaeltown, until the boy wishes the skein was five miles long. And then he is reward ed by great big cooky, sweeter than honey, because he was such 8 good boy. The only thing that took the edge of this reward was that all the other children got just as big cookies as he did, because somehow grand mas rewards for the good boy and girl man. aged to include all the other boys and girls. To grandma all children were good some children were better than others, but there were no bad children. A thousand blessings thousand times told, on the dear old facs and the silver hair that crowned the placid brow; on the wrinkled hands and the work they wrought on the dear lips and blessed old hymns they sung; on the dear old book that lay in her lap. and the life that drew so much of love and faith and help from it's pages. In every household and every nook of the land in the city tenement and in the roomy old farm house; in the mansion on the avenue and in the cottage down the lane, God bless grandma and the beautiful memo rias her figure always inYokes.
