Harvesting is in full blast and prospects
are good for q bountiful yield.
The storm OH Friday evening last was
pretty severe in some places, although
tile grain did not receive much damage.

airy, just inclosed, got twisted out Of shape
but by hard work was brought into its

CARLISLE.
A rather remarkable revelation has
occurred here lately. The circumstan-
Cos Of the case are, as near as we
can learn, as follows: Joseph K.
Andrew and Edward Maunsell, two young
men from the East, settled upon two
quarter sections in this township viz:
the s. Z. Sec. 2, twp, 162, range SO, and
S. E sec. IA, twp. 1852. range 81, and in
the fall made proof and returned East.
In June of 1888 two parties representing
themselves as Messrs. Andrew and Man
sell made application to an agent Of E. B
Eddy 4 Son, of Fargo, for loans OH the
above described lots and were granted
$500 Oh each place. knowledge of this
action did not reach Messrs. Andrew
and Maunsell until recently. Andrew
bargained for the sale Of his place a
short time ago and an abstract from the
registers office showed q mortgage 81
$500 against his place to his great sur.
prise. About the same time Mansell re.
ceived notice from i. L. Eddy 4 Son that
Interest his coupons were due and must
be settled to prevent sale of place undo,
mortgage. Tho young men are now tax.
ing steps to Lave the mortgages annulled
and will no doubt be successful.

\ Mules Sagacity.

a writer in the Youths Companion
relates the following instance of
mules sagacity:
While stationed at Fort Webster,
in what is now Arizona, he started
down the canyon on a very fine and
large mule. The mule stopped ab-
rupily, and signifed that he would
not bulge another step. Spurs were
dug into his fianks to no purpose.
There he stood. as firm as a rock,
Hammond pulled him round, and
galloped back to the fort. The next
morning it was ascertained that at a
point scarcely one hundred yards in
advance of where the mule gained
his victory some Apache Indians
had ambushed the road, and but for
the brute's keen nose and ears. and
firmness in resisting an obstinate
man, short work would have been
made of both.
While j0urneying across the
plains thirty or more years ago there
were hundreds of instances equally
remarkable. The writer stood guard
every ether night over the stock
that was out to Craze, and depended
entirely for warning OF danger from
two large American mules. They
would scent an Indian or a grizzly
a much longer distance than a dog,
and at once stop eating and point
unerriRgly with their long ears to
the direction of the danger.

"Yes," responded Mr.. B., with par
donable pride.

lines notice of it in the newspaper

Must See the Chips Fly.

4 man, unless he is mere drudge,
cannot work without seeing the re-
suit frohn his labor. His mind must
be gratified by the fact that he is
producing something, or he will
turn from his work, even if he is
paid for doing it, with disgust.
Some years ago the tread mill was
used in the prisons. 1t was large,
wide wheel on which cenyicts stood
and turned by moving their feet.
The wheel did nothing but turn, and
this barrenness of results so injuri-
ously affected the health of the con-
victs that the use of the wheel as a
punishment was abandoned. We
recently met with an anecdote which
fully illustrates the point We have
made.
A young Yankee found himself.
some years ago, in the interior of
Pennsylvania without a cent. He
applied to wealthy Quaker for help.
Il will give thee work, and pay
thee for it, friend" replied the Qua
ker; "but it is not my custom to
give aims to one able to labor like
thee"
That's all l want" said the Yam
kee; I'm willing to work"
"What can thee do, friend ?"
"Anything. | will do any sort OF
work to get little money"
"Well-there's a log yonder; and
there is AK. Thee may pound on
the log with the head of the ak, and
if thee is diligent | will pay thee a
dollar day."
The youth went to work. For a
few minutes he pounded the log
Justify. Then he paused to take
breath. Beginning again, he pound
ed for half an hour and stopped.
Throwing down the ak, he walked
away, saying:
"I'll suffer before / cut wood with
out seeing the chips fly."
He had a mind that rebelled
against the body's working without
results.

How The Money is Cared For.

A reporter in conversation with
Mr.. Pinkerton learned the following
facts:
Il suppose there are stored in the
banks and safe deposit vaults in
Wall street and vicinity not far
from S1,000,000,000," said Mr.. Rob
ert Pinkerton, as he sat in a com
Portable easy chair in his office in
Exchange place. Il may be & little
out of tie way in my estimate. but
not much. The protection of all
this wealth requires the services of a
large number of men in addition to
the usual mechanical ard electric
devices employed for that purpose.
The bulk of this large sum of money
is stored in the vaults of the safe de-
posit companies. The vaults are
built of the fire-proof and
and burglar proof material and
are made as secure as modern inven-
ton will allow. They are connected
by electric wires with the nearest
district telegraph office. Armed
watchmen pace to and fro in the
rooms upon which the vaults open.
These men are required to give q
signal over the wire at stated inter
walls during the night, in erdsr
to prove to the proper authorities
that they are faithfully attending to
their business and that nothing of
an evil nature has happened. lfthe
signals are not given an armed posse
of men is at once sent to the vault in
question. In addition to the watch
men there are other watchmen who
patrol the street in front of the bull
ding in which the vaults are placed.
Private watchmen and detectives are
also on the lookout for suspicious
persons"
"Are there as many professional
bank robbers as there were formerly
inquired The reporter.
81 don't believe there is the max
ing of regular gang of frst-class
bank burglars among all the thieves
ofthis country" replied Mr.. Pinker-
ton Nearly all the old professionals
haye either died or have been arres-
ted and put away in prison and the
Young men don't seem to have the
ingenuity of their predecessors. Look
at the noted bank burglars who have
been caught aud shut up within the
past fifteen or twenty years.

Have Juries too Much Power.

In direussing the jury system in
the light of the cincinnati riot, ii is
well TO distinguish between the sys-
tenn itself and the abuses to which
it is subjected. The laws will gen.
orally be found less Objectionable
that the manner of their enforcement
hence the best way to reform the
jury system would be to correct the
abuses which inhere in it by reason
of the lax administration of the laws
under which it was organized.
There is a strong disposition, how
ever, TO question the soundness of
the laws IN relation to jurors. The
provisions under which intelligence
is excluded and ignorance invited
into the jury box; the fact that ju-
ries are made judges of the law as
well as of the facts: the require
ment that they must be unanimous
in order to fine a verdict that they
are permitted to acquit if they enter
tain reasonable doubt as to guilt,
they themselves being the Judges as
to what constitutes such a doubt
these, and kindred provisions are re-
garded by many writers as confer
ring too much power upon juries,
especially when so little care is exer-
cised in getting the right kind of
men to serve as jurors.
In some States, notably Illinois,
vigorous efforts have been made to
have the criminal code and practice
so amended as to compel juries to
take the law from the courts, but as
yet they have proved unayailing.
The same law prevails in tits State,
in New York, and throughout the
country generally. 1t is of little
avail for judges to instruct juries in
the law, when the law has already
vested them with power to determ
inc the law for themselves so far as
the particular case before them is
concerned. It's under this author
ity that they are able to find of the
first degree manslaughter, or to ac-
quit a defendant wheE there is indu-
bitable proof of his guilt. Thi. pow
er is all the more dangerous since
there is no remedy against those
who abuse it, and no power in the
court to set aside verdicts which are
palpable perversions of both,law and
iustice.-Pia8burg Com Gazette.

WHOLE NO. TIA.
Vienna Rolls.

Says the Hotel Mail: The Vienna
bread is made in various ways, some
of which require the machinery OF a
large bake-house and are not mana
geable in an ordinary kitchen. The
so-called Vienna roll. can be made
in any household by the following
receipt: Finest wheat flour, eight
pounds; milk, three and one-halt
quarts water, three and one-half
quarts; compressed yeast, three and
one-thlrd onces; salt one ounce.
After all the materials have acquired
the temperature of the room the
flour is poured in Il loose heap In
the middle OF the baking trough and
a small quantity of the heap, on one
side, mixed to thin dough with the
milk and water previously poured
together, and mixed with the yeast
and salt. The dough is allowed TO
stand three-quarters of an hour, well
covered. After this time, or as soon
as fermentation has begun, the dough
is mixed intimately with the remain
der of the -four and the rest of the
liquid, and left to rise for two hours
and a half. 1t is then cut IN pieces
weighing each one pound, each OF
which Is divided into twelve square
pieces Of equal weight. The corners
OF each Of these squares having been
turned over to the center, the cakes
are put into the oven and baked for
fifteen minutes. The heating must
be uniform. Ifthe oven is hotter in
one place than another the cakes
must be shifted about. To impart
a gloss to the cakes they are brush
ed over with sponge dipped into
milk.

Laughter.
He sat.

Laughter is one Of the best physi-
clans known, being as necessary as
pure air to invalids, hypochondri-
acs, persons suffering from nervous
exhaustion, and those prostrated by
business cares and mental worries
He is a gay companion, a foe of
gloom and death, for being a disci-
pie of Moliere. Joy, brightness and
health accompany him everywhere.
His treatment is simple and appli-
cable to all ages. He never makes
any charge for his services, and he
is always ready to come when sent
for. His face wears the brightest
Of smiles, which are in themselves
better than most of the drugs in the
pharmacopea for curing certain dis
eases, and his presence is sufficient
to rouse the weak and lethargic into
new life. Invalids should consult
him as often as possible, if they
would tighten their burdens, make
their lives longer and happier, and
defy the approaching hand of time,
which spares no one from its with
ering influence.

Echoes.

Oftentimes when Even's scarlet flag
Floats from the crest of distant woods,
And over moorland waste and crag
Aweary, voiceless sorrow broods;
Around me hover to and fro
The ghosts of songs heard long ago.
And often midst the rush of wheels,
OF passing and repassing feet,
When halfa headlong city reels
Triumphant down the noontide street,
Above the tumult of the throngs
] hear again the same old songs.
Rest and unrest-'ts strange that ye,
Who lie apart as pole from pole,
Should sway with one strong SOW reignty
The secret issues of the soul
Strange that We both should hold the keys
OF prisoned tender memories.
II may be when the landscapes rim
Is red and slumberous round the west
The spirit too grows still and dim,
And turns in half-unconscious quest
To those forgotten lullabies
That whilom closed the infants eyes.
And maybe, when the city mart
Roars with its fullest, loudest tide
The spirit loses helm and chart,
And on an instant, terrified,
Has fed across the space of years
To notes that banished childhood's fears.
We know not-but It's sweet TO know
Dead hours still haunt the living day,
And sweet to hope that, when the slow
Sure message beckons us away,
The past may send some tuneful breath
To echo round the bed of death.
