Here is another instance. related by
an exchange, OF how people prosper in
Dakota. Vim. Harding came from Belle

consisting OF parents, seven grown sons,
and a daughter. They we're poor and
had scarcely money enough 10 einigiate

necessarics Of Lying for q short time.
They all entered land, and row the FAM
lily has over 5000 fertile acres in Hutch
inson county, which is estimated TO be
worth in the aggregate over S45 600
This story is as true of Day as Of
Hutchinson, and especially Of the hill
country. In tho hills north Of Webster
men are located who have taken adyan-
tage Of the superior facilities for stock

ease ia making safe and warm places for
them in winter, and have already corn.
menced to accumulate a few head of stock.
Another year or two will find them with
large herds Of cattle, hogs and horses,
and as certain to become independent as
did the Illinois family above referred to.
To people locatedinthese hills. it's only
aquestion Of time-only a few years when
the large and com;nodious farm house

and great barns, granerics, stock sheds

A CRUSADE AGAINsr MORPHINE,

The time is ripe, says the Syracuse
Standard, for crusade against NOR
phine. As the narcotic is chiefly used
by women, it will be proper for men to
go forth in singing and praying bands
beseeching women to stop the horrid
practice and druggists to cease from
selling the preparation to confirmed
morphine inebriates. But, whatever be
the best means of combating the evil,
the curse Of habitual indulgence in NOR
phine and opium is making its brand
upon society. Sometimes contracted
during illness, sometimes taken up to
abate longing for intoxicating liquors,
sometimes adopted to allay nervous suf-
fering, the deadly habit seldom deserts
its victims. The sufferers from narcot-
ism through the use of these drugs may
be numbered by tens Of thousands.
Every druggist has them among his
customers. Many Of them stealinto the
store with cautious look, as if they
feared they might be watched or their
purpose would be read before they dis.
closed it; and others impart the busi-
ness in confidential tone, often at
tempting to convey the impression that
the narcotic is meant for another person.
Nothing is more marked than the iniu-
rious effect which the practice exerts
upon the moral faculties The doses
these wretched people learn to bear are
sufficient, perhaps, to kill an ordinary
person, and the quantity is increased
from month to month until the suicidal
work is completed. The fatal effect OF
such familiarity with the forms of opium
often appears in a startling way when
persons addicted to opium, eating pre-
scribe their beloved medicine for others.

A THRILLING exhibition Of nerve was
furnished by Cincinnati house-painter
some time ago. We quote from the
Commercial of that city: Bernard
Koehler and Fritz Hisgen began paint
ing large house at Belts street and
Central avenue. Three o'clock in the
afternoon found them close up under the
caves Of the house, and sixty-fye feet
from the ground. They had just fin
ished the surface within reach, and had
started to lower the scaffold few feet.
When the required distance had been
reached, Hisgen called to his partner to
hang on to the rope until he (Hisgen)
tied his own, when he would come over
and perform like service for him.
Hisgen had just completed his own knot,
when Koehler cried out: "Come over
quick; can't hold it." Hisgen, as
quickly as possible, started across the
aerial bridge, but had not gone two steps
when he saw the man let go his hold,
and felt the ladder give way beneath his
feet. As he began the fall, in the energy
Of desperation he, with both hands,
grasped the almost-smooth top Of the
fourth-story window cornice and there
hung in the air, distance Of sixty feet
from the pavement. He then gave an
exhibition Of nerte that terrified every
one who saw it. Placing the toe OF one
boot against the window frame he gave
his body slight pendulum motion away
from the house. A second push gave
him better impetus, and as he swung
on the return toward the window he re-
leased his hold and went crashing
through the glass safely to the floor
Of the fourth-story room, from whence
he Immediately looked out through the
aperture he had made to see what had
become Of his companion. Koehler had
not been quite so fortunate. AS he went
shooting through the air he caught the
hanging rope with both hands and less
ened his speed all the way down at the
expense of all the outicle of his palms,
which was burned off by the friction.
He landed in sitting posture on the
sidewalk, and was taken to the hospital
with pair Of very sore hips.

LACK OF AIR.

Some workmen think themselves
"tired" when they are only poisoned.
They labor in factories, breathe air. with
out oxygen, and live in an atmosphere
Of death. They are, too often, allowed
to smoke, and thus add fuel to the flame
which is consuming them. They knock
of work stirred and 'listless, when they
are merely weakened by foul air, and
made dull and heavy by an atmosphere
charged with disease. They keep the
windows shut and close the door on
health, while they lift the gratings Of
the tomb by breathing and rebreathing
the poison from their own lungs, and
the floating particles of matter about
them. Open the windows, let in the
sunshine and the breeze, stop smoking,
and you will soon find that 1t is the
poison Of confinement, and not labor,
that wearies and tires. Montreal Her

A sroRY OF 4 RING.

We hear great deal about rings now
adays, and nothing very good Of them,
either. heard Of o ring the other day
that told story--in fact, its own story.
The ring glistened on the finger Of q
washwoman through the suds in tub.
The lady of certain house in this city
had advertised for a laundress to come
to her house on certain days. The sd-
vertisement was answered by neat,
rather refned-looking woman. When
the laundress had begun her work the
lady saw, shining on shapely hand, q
pretty and peculiar ring. She requested
the privilege of looking at it. The wom-
an hesitated msment, and then nerv-
ously held out her hand.
"That is class ring" said the lady.
at is" responded the laundress, as
she turned her face away.
"Where did you get ?" asked the
lady, emboldened, perhaps, by the man.
ner OF the wearer of the ring.
at is my husbands"
""At what college did he graduate ?"
"At Yale"
"In what class ?"
In the class Of TO-"
That ended the interview for the time,
as the lady could by no means get from
the washwoman the name of her hus-
band. The lady had been thus unlady-
like, perhaps, and curious because her
son wore class ring exactly like the
one in question, and was a graduate in
the class of 70 at Yale. She told him
the story, and one night he followed the
laundress TO her rooms in Michigan ave-
nue., where he found an old classmate
and college chum poring over some sec
ond-hand law books. He works in the
daytime, and SO does his trump of wife.
One day he will be admitted to the bar,
he will work hard, she will help him,
and when they are rich they can afford
to smile at the story of the ring-which
is strictly rue.-Detroit Chat.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON MASK.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON MASK.
The identity Of "The Iron Mask, " or
"The Man with the Iron Mask" has
never been satisfactorily established.
About the year 1879 he was carried with
the utmost secrecy to the Castle Of Pig
nerol, and wore during the journey a
black mask, which was not Of iron, but
of black velvet, strengthened with
whalebone, and secured behind with
steel springs, or by means Of lock, as
some say. The orders were that if he
revealed himself he was to be killed. He
was conveyed in 1886 totheisle of Sainte
Marguerite, and during the passage the
strictest watch was kept that he might
not allow himself to be discovered. The
unknown prisoner was in 1898 conveyed
to the Bastile, and was, as before, hid
den behind the mask. In that prison the
captive remained until his death, in 1870.
On Nov. 20, the day after his death,
he was buried in the cemetery of st.
Paul, under the name of Machioti. The
unknown was treated with the greatest
respect, but so closely was he watched
that he was not permitted to take off his
mask even in the presence of the physi-
clan who attended him. Many conject-
ures have been hazarded as 10 who "The
Man with the Iron Mask" could have
been, the one generally accepted at the
present day by those who have carefully
investigated the subject being the fol-
flowing: It is conjectured that he was a
Count Matthioli, Minister of Charles
I'LL, Duke of Mantua. This Minister
had been largely bribed by Louis XIV,
and had pledged himself to urge the
Duke to give up to the French the for.
tress of Casale, which gave access to the
whole Of Lombardy. Louis found that
Matthioli was playing him false, and
lured him to the French frontier, and
then had him secretly arrested and i'm.
prisoned. AS he was Minister Plenipo.
tentiary OF the time, his seizure was a
fragrant violation Of international law,
which it was safer to be able to deny
than to justify, and, when the denial
was made once, the "honor" Of France
was involved in upholding 1t.

cruelty. The lads leg was terribly
