A Raging Dakota Fever.

1t is fully as bad as the oil fever or
gold craze. 1t attacks all ages and all
sexes The man or woman in south
ern Dakota who to-day does not pos
sess a land claim Of some kind, is the
exception. Il suppose you have home
stead or tree claim / said, address
ing one of the two workmen in a bar
Der shop at Huron, Dakota, the other
day: both Immediately responded
in the affirmative. Editor, manager,
and the employees in the Signal Office
informed me half hour later that they
all had their claims A little after, the
minister of fourishing church at
Huron told me that he was the owner
of a splendid homestead but few miles
from town. What he had done was
true of gentlemen Of all professions
generally in Dakota. They all own
large tracts. The ncwsman on the
train from Tracy had his homestead in
Dakota. Nearly all the railroad en-
ployes and laborers employed in con-
structirg the railroads over the Dakota
prairies have their claims if they have
not sold item. Two young women
were among the passengers on the train
which carried us across the Dakota
prairies to Pierre. I recognized in one
of them the waitress OF my table at a
Huron hotel. The gentleman who
shared my seat stated that her compan-
ion was likewise waitress in the same
public house. They were two enter
prising American girls, who had both
homestead and tree claims at Harold,
seventy-fve miles out on the road.
They ran out to spend every other Sun
day in their shanties or ''shacks,' and
this constituted their residences. Hired
men work the claims for them, and
they were able to earn handsome wages
in the Huron hotel, nearly eighty miles
away The fertile lands comprising
all the various claims belonged to the
United States government only little
time ago. They cost their owners next
to nothing, and are now held at prices
ranging from six to ten dollars an acre.
What has been done in southern Dako-
ia can still be done in central Dakota,
and those who would avail them
selves of the opportunities presented
must move quickly. We urge them to
do so, inasmuch as we desire them to
share in the great land division of the
general government. -Dovsd W. Judd,

Wonderful Instinct in Bees.

MaLy interesting accounts have been
written OF the wonderful instincts of
honey bees-sOme, in fact, which would
almost tend 80 prove that they possess
ed reasoning faculties. An Australian
bee-keeper contributes to the Queens
lander the following interesting Incl
dent, illustrative of the sagacity of these
wonderful little insects: "A nci ghbor of
mine who keeps bees in bar-frame hives
had robbed them of some of their sur
plus store, but noticing few days af-
terward the honey running from the en-
trance to the hive, and the bees clogged
with it, he raised the top to ascertain
the cause, when he found the bees in so
woful a plight that he knew not what
to do, and was quite disheartened. He
mentioned the matter to Inc and went
to his assistance. found the hive in q
dreadful state; the frames were very
large, and the weight Of honey proper
tionally great; the combs had fallen
down, and the honey had been set free.
Thousands of bees were suffocated and
smeared with the honey, and it was q
work of some difficulty to set matters
right. On the floor of the hive, and
floating in the escaped honey, were
dozens of white grubs, which had evil
IDENTIFY been forcibly drawn from the
cells by the bees, and the reason they
sacrificed their progeny appears to be
that, finding themselves overwhelmed
with the disaster that had befallen them
and having filled every available crevice
with the overlooked honey, they had
found it necessary to empty the cells of
the young brood in order to find space
to store the balance until the wreck
could be repaired. There was reason,
certainly, for what they did, and the
fact has not, perhaps, been noticed be-
fore because the people who kept bees
for observatory purposes would never
have allowed such a calamity to happen
to them.

He was nice young man, could not
be else, because, you see, he came from
Chicago. which vital fact stamps him
guileless. But he accomplished nine
days wonder in St. Louis. 1t was re-
vealed thus: We were invited out to a
farewell dinner, given to brand new
bride of few hours existence. She
was to leave our classic shades and
bury herself in the city by the lake. No

II knew nothing. I simply trusted
him.
''Blissful trust! But. naturally, since
he came from Chicago you are safe.''
And it actually came to pass. in this
wicked and perverse generation, a
young woman, in full possession of her
senses, took man blindly on trust, on
two days time. She is very sweet
girl, quiet and dignifed, decidedly not
of the sort who would do the thing for
fun. but she soberly and honestly ac-
cepted the man through the promptings
of some occult power, which She is
pleased to call love. How it could be
love, the object unseen, is a mystery
to the practical mind, which prefers
something more tangible and less in the
abstract, upon which to bottom a pas
sion. Still, in matters of spiritual con-
Germ, we are taught faith is the essence
of love.

For Love of a Little Child.

"A Cincinnati paper SAYS: In a pot
terry factory here there is workman
who had one small invalid child ut
home. He wrought at his trade with
exemplary fidelity, being always in the
shop with the opening OF the day. He
managed, however, to bear each even
ing to the bedside of his :'wee lad," as
he called him, a flower, bit of ribbon,
or a fragment of crimson glass-in-
deed, anything that would lie out on
the white counterpart and give color
to the room He was quiet, unsenti-
mental man, but never went home at
night without something that would
make the wan face light up with Joy
at his return. He never said to Iiv-
ing soul that he loved that boy so
much. Still he went on patiently low
ing him, and by and by he moved that
whole shop into positively real but I'M
conscious fellowship with him. The
workmen made curious little jars and
cups upon their wheels, and painted
diminutive pictures down their sides
before they stuck them in the corners
Of the kiln at burning time. One
brought some fruit in the bulge of his
apron, and another engravings in a
rude scrap-book. Not one Of them
whispered a word, for this solemn
thing was not to be talked about. They
put them in the old mans hat, where
he found them; he understood all about
it, and, believe it or not, cynics, as you
will, but it is fact that the entire pot
terry full of men, of rather coarse fiber
by nature, grew quiet as the months
drifted, becoming gentle and kind and
some dropped swearing as the weary
look on the patient fellow-worker's
face told them beyond mistake that the
inevitable shadow was drawing nearer.
Every day now some one did a piece Of
work for him and putt on the sandcd
plank to dry, SO that he could come
later and go earlier. So, when the bell
tolled and the little coffin came out of
the lowly door, right around the corner,
out of sight, there stood 100 stalwart
workingmen from the pottery with
their clean clothes on, most OF whom
gave half days time for the privi-
lege of taking part in the simple pro-
cession and following toithe grave that

sour talented artist, Miss Losing"

s'Our talented artist, Miss LOSING
She is still the same shy and reserved
'nut-browne mayde," only become
more womanly in her fight through
life. Her face is winning and sweet,
because her mind and heart are good
and refined.
She is standing before the fire in her
cosy little studio on this winter even
ing, holding a photograph in her hand.
1t is Sydney Weston's. picture, and her
thoughts are wandering to those old
bygone days when the cultured gentle
man won the poor country girls love,
but never spoke of it or attempted to
claim it.
She saw him last night at the Acad-
envy Exhibition, and he seemed un-
changed, except that he was bronzed
by foreign travel. They had spoken
together as old friends, and he had
asked permission to call upon her, and
he is coming to see her tonight.
She flushes painfully as she hears the
door-bell ring, and a few moments after
he enters, the same old Sydney Weston.

was the poor country girl. Now he is
an earnest worker, in the prime OF his
manhood, and she has developed into q
successful artist and noble woman.
Their greeting is warm and friendly.
But he does not wait long before he
pours an eager story into her ears.
''Oh, Alice, Alice! ! have come to
you after these long years. Did you
not wonder that l never spoke to you
more than friendly words? Although,
Heaven knows, the words of love often
trembled on my lips, when to utter
them would have been base dishOnor;
for, alas! was already bound to- an
other. ~
''Listen, Alice. When l was young
man, fresh from college, Twas inveigled
into marrying young girl, my inferior
by birth and education girl cursed
with dread affliction, for she was a
drunkard! Oh, what an agony l suf-
fered when found out the terrible Sc
cret! I separated from her. and for
long years wandered from place to
place, trying to forget my miserable
bondage.
''Then 1 met you, and learned to love
you as the best, the purest among wo-
men. But dared not remain. Sum-
moning all my strong manhood to my
aid, left you, and strove to resign my
self to my fate. During these years I
have wandered through many lands,
never forgetting my unfortunate wife,
but never ceasing to be upheld by your
goodness, your truth. And I thought
myself doomed.
''But at last the light broke in upon
me. It seems horrible to say it, but
the news of my wife's death filled me
with joy, and hurried to you at once.
l knew you loved me in the lang syne,
and I knew you could not change.
Was right, Alice?''
His voice trembled as he ceased
speaking, and Alice's hand trembled as
she stole it into his and answered SOL
EMMY:
''You were right
And thus these two came together, to
travel life's journey henceforth, sup
porting each other, and helping each
other to noble work-those who had
proved themselves so fitted therefor.

How Ideas Come.

A certain lawyer justifies his pet hob
by, which is carpenter work, not mere
~ by the healthy relaxation of nervous
tensions and exercise of muscle it brings
him, but chiefly because he works out
his legal problems, plane in hand. Old
law reading comes back to him then,
out OF the way precedents recur to mind,
the very text of the law book is never
so clearly before him as then. He has
glimpse of the volume and the page,
and the very part of the page on which
is some needed citation which he would
otherwise have long to seek.
Nor is it only memory which works
when he is half engrossed with the af-
fairs of his handicraft. Original thoughts
arise and ingenious devices; clever
combinations take shape of themselves.
The case works itself out, and mental
labor is only pleasurable exertion, Just
as his amateur handwork is. Haw-
thorne composed walking. Musicians
are seized with ideas, and modern play
wrights seize upon others ideas, at the
most unexpected moment. Business
men have been known to depend upon
their meditation at dead of night for
sound review OF the present, and fore
cast on which they base their Plans
When we are hurried, we long for rest,
to "think over things and decide ~
tionally; butt relieved from pressure,
we .'think of nothing at AL :" Comes
the moment for action, vs. settle in
three seconds the confusion of days,
and, for good or ill results, our plans
are at least clear. What is needed is
not time nor will, but rather the favor
able moment when there is harmony
Then, like the electric message, thought
il swift and sure. The idea which we
have long waited for arrives, not as the
certain result of earnest thought, but as
the reward of thought, just as honorable
fame is the reward of noble deeds, but
not the certain result of them. Boston
