A Portrait of Pansy.

We have received a copy Of the beautiful
lithographlc potrait of Pansy (Mrs. G. H.
ALDEN, and it seems only proper in this con.
n ne to give few interesting points of
the history OF this Widely-knOwn author,
whose books have larger sale than those OF
any other living American writer:
Personal information respecting popular
! authors has peculiar interest for readers
OF all classes. How they look; what they say;
the circumstances under which their books
are written; and the history of their various
and ncver-ending interest. An editor, spend
| ing an evening in the society of Mrs. Alden,
thus pleasantly describes it,
mot long since we spent q very pleasant
evening with Mrs. G. X. Alden, who is better
known by her alom de plume OF ''Pansy." A
ltte gaat9 n was held in her honor at the
OF beautiful pansies was sent, and adorned
the centre-table. and nearly every invited
guest brought in as a tribute small boQuet
OF the same modest flowers.
"Nlrs. Alden's pseudonym. with its sLgges-
ton OF unobtrusive beauty, is very apprOpri-
ate both as to her writings and to herself.
sation, but quiet and unassuming. Her adop-
ton of the title by which she is known, is an
Interesting bit Of history. In her young girl
days, the old clock in her fathers house stop
ped-a thing so unusual that it made an i'm
preston on the whole household, and especially
on her. She wrote an essay in regard to
that faithful household monitor, which pleas
ed her father very much. He said it must be
published in the paper conducted By her
brother. But, said he, we don't wish any
one to know that you wrote it, and 80 we will
sign it Pansy, for pansy means tender and
pleasant thoughts, and you have given me
some thoughts that are tender and pleasant:
1T is no wonder when she came to write for
the public, that she should adopt for a nom de
plume the name which had for her such ten
der assoclatlon Her father died during the
Wiltlng or the closing chapters OF Ester
Red'-a book in which he took the greatest
interest, and in regard to which he prayed
that it might be blessing to some young life.
1h0t prayer was answered over ana over
again! Mrs. Alden writes us: 1T was while
the tears we're gathering thick in my eyes as
| looked out upon his grave, that wrote the
last chapter of the book feeling that my
closest. strongest friend and critic, and Wlsest
helper had gone from me- And now that
these facts are made known, we feel sure that

A GOOD TIME COMING.
Annual Meeting of the State Butter and
Cheese Association at Austin,
December ll-l3.

Thursday evening, the Austin Board of
Trade was visited by Messrs. Marvin and
Rice, of Rochester, President and Sec
rotary of the Minnesota State Cheese and
Butter Association, who addressed them
upon the advantages Of the convention
to be held in Austin, December lib.
Mr.. Marvin said, when he went to
Monticello, Jones county, Iowa, some
years since, he found it a small place, the
people poor, and the outlook dubious.
The farmers turned their attention to the
dairy business and stock raising, and
to-day, Jones county is one Of the
wealthiest counties in Iowa. Land has
advanced in value until it is now held at
from $50 to $50 per acre, and hard to
purchase at that price. He came to
Rochester two years ago, and since that
time there has been great change. Last
year there was paid out in Olmsted coun-
ty for dairy products by the creameries
over $5O0,OO0. Land has increased in
value over rs per cent. Some time ago
Minnesota butter was graded in New
York city as grease" and Mr.. Marvin
was advised to mark his goods some other
brand, and lie. Minnesota drop off the
list of butter-producing states. This he
refused to do. To-day Minnesota butter
ranks the highest in the market, and
man who has Minnesota butter to Sell at
the New York produce exchange is sur
rounded Immediately by a crowd of
buyers. Minnesota butter is, by actual
test, better than Iowa. There are many
reasons for this, as, for instance, our
climate is cooler and more dry, and so
the cattle eat BETTER and are less affected
by deleterious influences than when they
stand about stagnant pools Of water in
the heat of the day. Mower county is
adapted in special manner to the dairy
business. The grass is luxuriant and
nutritive, There is necessity of breed
ing better stock. 1t costs no more to
keep good COWS than poor ones. He
would not keep a~cow that did not pro-
duce over 5000 lbs. of milk per annum.
Mr.. Rice made a very interesting
speech, in which he said there would be
large number of practical workers pres
ent at the convention who would give
our farmers many valuable hints. These
conventions, two of which have been
held in Rochester, are of great practical
value to those communities where they
meet.
We have been able to give only brief
synopsis of these most interesting ad-
dresses. and if they are specimens of the
kind of talk we are to listen to at the
state association, we predict for our cit
liens and farmer friends, a rare and pro-
titable entertainment.
If half the good things predicted by
these sanguine gentlemen should come to
pass in the near future, there is surely a
good time coming for Mower county.
