City Waits i'm the Country.

l. n. Ford has an article in st.
Nicholas deS riding the operations of
The " Fresh Air Fund, by which every
summer thousands of poor children
are ent on a two weeks vacation to
the country. There is something
almost pathetic in the ignorance Of
these little city waits in regard to the
simplest fat of nature, a5 shown in
the following anecdot.s from the ar
tlcle:
The hoy5 naturally took to the water
like so many Newfoundland puppies.
Wherever there were brooks and quiet
pools they Were to be seen, at any hour
of the day, fishing, swimming AMI
wading. One bright-eyed little sports
man, who hal provided himself with
two formidable bean-shooters, gravely
asked his host if the woods back of the
barn were " eamy"
The boys were always saying queer
things which convulsed the jolly
farmers with laughter. "Who watered
those plants last ght?" a ;ked little
fellow at GuilfOrd, catching a first
glimpse of dew on the grass. "Mv
eye! what big lemons p was an ex-
eIamati, n called out by squashes in
the garden. 81 say. who owns all the
robins round here" was another
amusing question. At Old Lyme, an
ur hin could not repres5 his astonish-
me IT when he saw a man digging
potatoes in le field. Haven't you
any barrels in your CELLAR" he asked
contemptuously. Why do you keep
'em owed away in taeground in that
way?"
One little maiden near Essex was
not diStreS cd when she found that she
had no playmates in the hou e. She
had her doll and that was company
enough. She chose sheltered corner
in the front yard us her nursery, and
every morning went out to sing her
dolly to sleep, her favorite lullaby
being popular religious hymn.
Across the road lived country lad of
her own age, who at once began to
annoy her by repeating her music in a
high key, with numerous variations.
For two days she pail no he'd to
her troublesome neighbor. On the
third her blood was reused. She
propped up her doll again st post of
the fence, marched across the road
with fla hing eyes, and cuffed her al
dience of ore boy about the ears.
" Now, Just see hereV' she exclaimed.

The Bad Boy Quits Work.

:" "Why are you not working at the
livery stable " the grocery man asked
the bad boy. "You haven't been dis
charged have your" And the grocery
man laid little lump of concentrated
lye that looked like maple sugar, on
cake Of sugar that had been broken,
knowing the boy would nibble it.
"No, sir I was not discharged, but
when a livery man lends me a kick
ing horse to take my girl out riding,
that settles it. I asked the boss if
1 couldn't have a quiet horse that
would drive hisself if wound the
lines around the whip. and he let me
have one he said would 60 all day
without driving. You know how it
is, when a fellow takes girl out rid
ing he don't want his mind occupied
holding lines. Well, 1 got my girl in,
and we went out on the Whitefish Bay
road, and it was just before dark, and
we rode along under the trees, and ]
wound the lines around the whip, and
put one arm around my girl, and pat
TED her under the chin with my other
hand, and her mouth looked so good,
blue eyes looked up at me and tWinkled
as much as to dare me to kiss her, and
/ was all of a tremble, and then my
hand wal cred around by her ear and
l drew he head up to me and gave
her smack. Say, that was no kind
of horse to give to young fellow to
take a girl out riding. Just as I
smacked her felt as though the buggy
had been struck with pile driver,
and when looked at the horse he was
running away and kicking the buggy,
and the lines were dragging on the
ground. I was scared, tell you.
wanted to jump out, but my girl threw
her arms around my neck and screamed
and said we would die together, and
just as we were going to de, the buggy
struck a fence and the horse broke
loose and went off, leaving us in the
buggy, tumbled down by the dash
board, but we were not hurt. The old
horse stopped and went to chewing
grass, and he looked up at me as
though he wanted to say 'philopene.'
l tried to catch him, but he wouldn't
catch, and then we waited till dark
and walked home, and 1 told the livery
man what I thought of such treat
ment, and he said if I had attended to
my driving and not kissed the girl 1
would have been all right. He said 1
ought to have told him I wanted
horse that would not shy at kissing, but
how did know I was going to get up
courage to kiss her? A livery man
ought to take it for granted that when
a young fellow goes out with girl he
is going to kiss her, and give him
horse according. But I quit him at
once. I won't work for a man that
hasn't got sense. Goshl What kind
of maple sugar is that? Jerusalem
Whew, give me some water. Oh, my,

The grocery man got him some Wa

taken the lump of concentrated lye by
mistake, and when the boy went out
the grocery man pounded his hands on
his knees and laughed, and presently
he went out in front of the store and

VARIATIONS OF THE HUMAN BODY.
The human body is longer on rising
in the morning than at any other time
during the day. The reason is that the
muscles are relaxed, and the pressure,
incident to sleeping posture, helps to
spread them out. There is considera-
BILE decrease in height from long stand
ing. Our shop girls are thus stupted
and partially deformed from being on
their feet all day-a cruel and savage
outrage. The squat forms of many for.
eigners come from being learned, while
too young, to stand on chairs, and thus
walk while the muscles are tender. The
mothers do tLis that they may work in
the fields or at home without hindrance.
Prof. Martel, foreign savant, tells how
the French peasants escape CONSUMPTION.
They refrain from going to bed for two
or three nights, walk much with bags of
sand on their shoulders, and diminish
their height so as to be under the regu-
lation limit. The effect, of course, is
bad for their health, but better that
than be butchered.

consisting of J. D. Good, c. w. Com
stock and J. c. O'Brien, found the fol-
lowing to be entitled to seats in the
convention.

Upon motion of III. w. Stone the
temporary organization was made

Samuel Larson of the village of
Morris, and K. e. Helgerson of the
village of Hancock were elected by
ballot to be the delegates to the state
convention.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the Republicans Of Stevens coun-

A motion was made for the chair to

ton adjourned. The convention was
not as harmonious as could have been
wished and the result widens the
breach in the Republican ranks of
Stevens county, instead of closing it

they are possessed of commendable
amount of energy and that they mean
business from the word go. They have

business. A good supply of fine bread
cakes and in fact of everything to be
found in first class bakery they have
ON hand and all orders given will be
promptly and satisfactorily filled.
They have purchased horse and
buggy and deliver goods freee of
charge. Their new bread box was
finished yesterday and is now in use,
enabling them to deliver eatables in
the best possible condition. We are
glad to note the activity of the new
firm. Give them a call.
