For my life was sadly empty, though the

For what to me where fioeks and herds, and

When the treasure I'd have died for was the

ONE THING TO REMEMBER.

There is a story told by an einigrant
judge, still living. though retired from
the bench, which illustrates the impor-
tance of a voluntary confession better
than the most elaborate argument. A
prisoner tried before him for larceny
had admitted his guilt when appre-
hended. but at the tria! was defended
with great persistency by able counsel.
Gentlemen" said the judge To the
jury, 1.-THE prisoner says he is guilty.
His counsel say he is not. You must
decide between them" Then after a
pause he added: "There is Just one
thing to remember, gentlemen. The
prisoner was there, and his counsel

HONEST DEBTS.


DIR. Kim ball of Saco, Me-, one of the
oldest and most widely-known practi-
TONERS in York county, tells a good
story of himself. He had attended an
old gentleman during lingering ILL
ness, and about year after his decease
sent his bill, whicr amounted to con-
siderable sum, to the widow. He re-
peated the process three times without
eliciting reply, and then called. He
was put off from time to time until
patience ceased to be Il virtue, and
then he again called with grim deter
in his character. Come. my
good woman said he when the de-
Iinquent appeare |, Il have waited long
enough, aud must have my money!
Fixing upon him look OF witLering
and brandishing her broom
in his face, she replied: you've been
here three times for that money. but
Ill pay my honest debts. thank We,

goa.l physician was SD pleased with
the logic of his debtor that he receipted
the bill on tlie spot.

Dakota's Prosperity.

The phenomenal growth and de-
velopment of the territory of Dakota
during the past three or four years
has attracted no inconsiderable
amount of attention from the entire
country. Some are disposed to doubt
the permanence of Dakota's pros
perity, and say that her resources are
not such as to warrant any firm be-
lief in her future growth and deyel-
opment. An investigation of the act
ual resources Of the territory, agri-
cultural and mineral, fails to discover
any ground for such an opinion.
The resources of the territory for
agriculture and grazing are practi-
cally on an equality with those of her
sister states Of Minnesota and Iowa,
which now rank among the first in
the Union. During the past year,
that section Of Dakota known as the
"corn belt" running as far north as
the -l4th degree of nolth latitude, and
west to the 24th degree west longi.
tutle, has been unusually prosperous,
yielding immense crops. Flax and
even wheat, which sometimes blights
during the heated term, have yielded

GLADSTONE GLEANINGS.

The G. r. S. Club dance on Friday
night was largely attended by mem.
bers and was very enjoyable.
Mrs. Haven and grand. laughter of
Detroit, Minn., are visiting her sister
Mrs. Marshall.
Gladstone is proud of her school,
Mr.. Barnum being a very successful
teacher.
At meeting of the literary socie-
ty Wednesday evening the question.
''resolved, that the N. p. r. Il. is a
benefit to Gladstone" was discussed,
with w. III. Brown and J. S. Let's in
the affirmative and G. s. Cryne and
O. G. Bissell in the negative. After
very able discussion it was decided
in favor of the affirmative. A paper
was then read and the meeting
wound up with an old fashioned spell
ing school.

Commencing at the

handsomely. Commencing at the
44th parallel of north latitude, and
extending to the extreme northern
portion of the territory, lies tIie ta-
nous wheat belt, which produces :s
larger number of bushels per acre
than any other soil on the American
continent. Not only does the terri
tory raise a large number of bushels
of wheat to the acre, but it produces
Il superior quality of the grain, giving
Dakota wheat an enviable reputation
in the provision markets of the world.
Those who have invested their money
in wheat lands have reaped bountiful
golden harvests and their continued
success has carried the price of inn
proved lands from five to twenty-five
dollars per acre along the Northern
Pacific railway and in the famous
Red river valley. Wheat land in the
eastern counties is now almost all
taken up as far north as the Northern
Pacific railroad. There is no reason
to doubt, however, that the vast tract
lying north of the Northern Pacific
and west of the Missouri river will
prove to be us good wheat country
as that already tested; in fact. there
appears to lis but very little waste
land in Dakota territory. Even in
the most undesirable and least pro-
ductive portions of the territory the
land is admirably adapted for grazing
and stock purposes. Considerable
capital has of late been invested in
cattle and sheep on the so-called ''bad
lands Of the Little Missouri. They
are said to find excellent feed in this
hitherto useless region. In a few
years the line of the Northern Pa
cilic will be supplied with packing
houses sufficient to utilize the pro-
ducts of these vast pastures, when Il
new impetus will be given to the
stock raising industry. These facts,
substantiated by the testimony of eN-
perienced men, who have been for
years identified with the northwest
ern country, and corroborated by the
official reports of the territorial otli-
GERS, are sufficient to convince every
one but the chronic doubter that Da-
kota has magnificent future. The
tide of immigration, which set i'll
with the beginning of the year 1880.
has continued to grow stronger every
year, and doubtless with the opening
of spring we shall see another rush
of land seekers, merchants and me-
chanics similar to that which in 1883
increased Dallota's population by l0o,-
600. The people believe i'll Dakota
and in her future, and we have no
reason to think that they have not
good grounds for their faith. Just
now that territory is enjoying what
is known ;ls Il 'boom.' OF course
this cannot last. 1t is not to be eX-
pected that Dakota for the next ten
years slk -'ld so on doubling her pop
ulation as She has done in the last few
years. Nor is it desirable that the
"boom" period should be Of long COIL
tinuance. 1t is the steady, persistent
labor of the permanent settler that
conduces to the steady growth and
real success of the territory. When
the rush is over, and the people and
the territory have gone through the
speculative period, we predict that
Dakota will take her place among the
great agricultural states Of the north
west.-Minnesot; Tribune.
