THE skating rink is the great plac

THE skating rink is the great place
of amusement at present, aud the at
tention of the young people is directed
in that direction. The managers of
the rink, Messrs. Albright, Wallace and
Platt are doing thier level best to make
everything pass off pleasantly for thier
patrons and each evening they try to
have a different program. On last Sat
urday night Miss Florence Teary.

game Polo was introduced and success
fully played to the satisfaction of all

Webster County.

THE CHIEF points with pride to the
prosperity everywhere noticeable III
Webster county. On every hand can
be seen nultitudenous evidences OF
thrift among all classes of our inhabi-
tants. The wonderous growth and de-
yelopment of the county is simply as
tonishing, wen to the Oldest settler.
Last year, or better perhaps 1888, the
assessed valuation of realty and per
sonal property in Webster county was
81 ,333,O99. This year it stands as fol-
lows as CLEANED from the assessors
books:
Personal property. 10000

Town lots 1885, DBL
Total valuation. ,3l9
A net gain of 1897, $40 in valuation
for the year 1854 over the year 1883.
This is a tremendous gain, and at once
shows the Improvements made on

last twelve months. Prosperity is visi-
BILE on every hand, and the farming
classes are continually improving their
property.
The towns and cities are also keep
ing apace with the times. The assess
&c valuation of town lots is about as
follows:

And what is better than all there is no
slack in the forward movement, and
we predict a much higher valuation
next year, which will be in keeping
with the present rapid strides in that
direction. People have awakened to
the fact that there is no better farming
country in the west than that in Web
ster county. and have therefore gone
to work with a vim for improvement
Let the good work 20 on.

The Elder Duck.

The elder duck, after the wild swan,
is probably the finest bird that frequents
the Atlantic sea-board. They nest all
about the island, especially among the
long heather and reedy inlets of the
Eastern coast. The great precipices on
which the Atlantic breaks are too steep
and perilous, and the young birds, new
from the nest, could hardly weather
that tempestuous sea. From their earli-
est days, it is true, they are splendid
sailors. When they grow older they
grow somewhat unwieldly, and are not
difficult to shoot on the water; but the
half-fedged bird is splendidly supple,
and seems to dive with the flash. In
clear shallow bays we can see the little
downy morsels caring themselves
swiftly foot or two under water, and
when forced to the surface showing only
the tips of their bills. At this season
the family is under the maternal wing
drake, till we'll on in autumn, leaving
his consort to her own resources. Mean
time the male birds keep together, and
are found quite on the other side of the
island, in parties of a dozen or score.
WHY they should manifest such selfish
unconcern for their offspring. at a sea-
son when one would fancy that their
services were most required, we do not
know, but the fact is undoubted.

'sSyndicate'' and 'tCerner."

This modern phrase syndicate is of
Latin origin, and was not unknown in
Old World commerce. Then it meant
the combination of . number of mer-
chants for the consummation Of q ven-
ture beyond the means or the inclina-
tons Of any one of them. The Dutch
merchants were fond of forming syndi-
cafes for large trading purposes: and
the East India Company, Hudson Bay
Company, and many other concerns of
our own time which have now attained
the dimensions and the dignity of pub
lie corporations, had . similar origin.
The syndicate system had in it the germ
of the joint stock company system; but
although each member subscribed a
certain amount, which he would adj
vance, or for which he would he liable,
his liability could not always be re-
stricted thereto. The uncertainty in this
respect evolved the limited liability
principle now SO common. But the syn
dicates of to-day are of somewhat differ
ent character; they are usually combi-
nations of capitalists to bring about
changes in the markets for commodities

manner they are the parents of ''cor-
ners." The word corner is probably
also of Latin origin. 1t suggests cornu,
horn-a thing which terminates in an
angle, where is secret and retired place
The phrase TO make corner how
ever, is one of purely American origin,
and it is suggestive enough. 1t implies
the concentrating of some object into a
limited area, from which there shall be
but one egress, of which the cornerers
hold the Key. 1t suggests something
like the gathering of Highland sheep
farm, where the animals are il resistibly
driven in from widely distributed spots
to one small flank" 1t suggests the
bag or drawer of the thrifty housewife,
into which is gathered all actually or
potentially useful articles. 1t suggests
the commonplace book of the wide-read-
ing and underwriting journalist. 1t
suggests also the old teapot, the lucky
stocking and the savings bank. But it is

s'Rather Leggy."

Among the advertisements of lost
dogs in the columns of a daily paper,
there recently appeared one which.
after describing infinitely all the points
of the lost canine darling. the wart on
his cold. cold nose, the entire lack of a
tail, which, unlike that of the classic
Rab, was not even represented by a
"bud, added to its descriptive catalogue
these pertinent rather leggy. -"
Now if there is ever pedestrian on
earth who needs to be ''rather leggy" it
is lost dog. He is an Ishmaelite of
CANNES. Every mans hand is turned
against him, because more than half the
people who see him think he is mad. And
he is. Right-down mad to think he was
such fool as to go and get lost. And
he loses his head when he has most need
of it, and gets mixed up with peoples
feet, ladies' dresses, children's peram-
bulators, horses legs, and the evil eye
of the policeman, who tries to hit him.
and whacks an unOffending boy who
stopped to see the fun. Then the lost
dog becomes .'rather leggy." He legs
it for home, toward which all points of
his compass turn at once. He is hot
and homesick, dusty and footsore, a
target for stones and brickbats, but he
is Logging it for life now. He flies the
city like blue streak; he shoots through
farm yards and along highways, his
tongue hangs out of his mouth, his eyes
are fixed. At last familiar something
greets him with welcome. He is on the
home stretch, sure enough. He cools
down. jogs alongcomfortably, and finally
walks in sheepishly at an open door,
turns around three times, drops in n
tired, dusty heap, and not even the tears
of Joy shed over him can rouse him to
being again until he has recovered from
the effects of being rather leggy.

manner that was always droll, even
when he wished to appear serious.
Whenever he attended any public gath

spoke his first word. His style of polit-

usually the reductio ad absurdum. s
