What is the use of wasting money by
advertising in the newspapers when
one can tack a notice like this on the
livery stable or on the doorof the 'dees-
trict" school house: "Los or strade, a
Soral horse TO wife feet and wife Ease.
Bline in wun i five doler reword."
One ofsthe latest novelties in the way
of counterfeiting silver coins is an inn
itation, the body of which is glass cov-
cred so as to have the appearance of
silver. 1t has a weight and ring that
cannot be distinguished from the genu-
inc. There are counterfeits of every
denomination, but the fayorites of the
manufacturers Of the queer isthe stand
ard silver dollar, and large numbers of
them are said to have been put into Cir
culation.-Journal
Fargo Argus:-Never in North Da-
kota's history has a spring passed and
asummerc ommencedmore suspicious
ly for crops of every character. The
rains have descended just when needed,
the weather has been extremely propi-
tious, the ground was prepared careful
ly and in good season, and the outlook
is extremely f1attering. The acreageis
large, and with the present prospects
for yield; a large product may justly be
expected.
Always keep on hand a brisk, hearty,
active enemy. The having enc is proof
that youare somebody. Wishy-washy,
empty, worthless people never have en-
emies. Men who never move, never
move against anything; aid when a
man is thoroughly dead and utterly bur-
led nothing ever runs against him, To
be run against is proof Of existence and
position; to run against something is
proof of motion. The best thing to
having 1OO'real friends is to have n
open enemy.-Exchange.
Milwaukee, Special Telegram, June
18.-The earnings Of the Milwaukee Il
st. Paul for the second week in June,
1884, aggregated s434,0oO, against s459,-
600 for the corresponding week in 1888;
a decrease of $4,000. The decrease in
the earnings from last year is due to
the falling off in Dakota emigration
traffic, but the decrease will be more
than made up, however, blythe increas-
ed shipments of grain fro1h Dakota
this fall and winter, which, it is said,
will be more than double that Of last
year.
There were four good habits a wise
man earnestly recommended in his
counsels, and which he consideredt to be
essentially necessary for the manage
ment Of temporal concerns; and these
are ~punctuality, accuracy, steadiness
and despatch. Without the first of
these time is wasted; without the sec
ond, mistakes the most hurtful to our
own credit and interest and that of 9th
ers may be committed; without the
third, nothing can be well done; and
without the fourth, opportunities of
great advantage are lost, which it is
impossible to recall.

In him Methodism loses a man than
whom she had none stronger. His
broad culture, his stirring eloquence
and his earnest zeal made him a power
for good, both in his church and in the
world at large. Probably to him more
than to any other one man is due the
steady tendency to;Ward q higher plane
Of culture that has characterized the
Methodism Ct the past twenty-five
years.-Pioneer Press, June 10.
