The meanest girl has just been found.
She is an Abba, Iowa, girl who has a
pet calf, which she has haltered in the
front yard. She has taught it to fight,
and when her fellow takes his depart
ure she loosens the picket rope and the
calf butts him over. She rushes to the
rescue with seemingly heroic devotion
and saves him. Heroism is a great
quality in woman, but it is unfair for
a girl to win the affections of her fel-
low by this deception no matter if igno-
ranceis bliss.-Ex.
If you are poor there is one consola-
tion. Your heirs will not go into court
to prove that you were an lmbecile dur
ing your childhood, an idiot at the time
Of your marriage, and a gibbering lu-
natic for years before you died. For
there are people in this world, for
whose existence God has some all-suf-
ficient reason that is wisely hidden
from mankind, who just love to rush
into the courtroom and the newspapers
to prove such things about their rich
fathers. They can't always prove them,
but they try their best. And yet there
are some people who think there is no
world better or more perfect than this
onc-Hawkeye.
The Providence Journal says of the
high opinion held of himself by the
boy who has reached 16, the last stage
of boyhood, "There is no question of
which he has not a confident and all
disposing judgment. Why, if we were
all 16, there would be no need of Con-
gress nor of the Supreme Bench. We
should each know it all. In religion
his opinions are equally decisive. But
do not understand me, my friends, that
in making fun Of the boy, at this or
any other period of his life, l mean to
deprecate or discourage his aspirations.
Far from it. I would not give penny
for the boy of sixteen who did not try
to be man,
White Lake Dispatch:-Why not
hold the legislative convention at this
place. 1t is near the center Of the dis
trict, which is composed Of Buffalo,
Jerauld, Brule, Charles Mix, Douglas,
Aurora, Dawson, Hanson and Bon
Homme counties One point in favor
of holding the convention at this place
is trains from both ways arrive and
leave at the same time. Delegates can
come from all directions al once. An
other point is, we have better hotel ac-
commodations than any Of the neigh
boring towns. Delegates who have
| never before seen our beautiful lake
lying just north Of town, and bearing
the same name, would have fine chance
