that there is just the least bit of malice
behind these charges.
Travellers over that weary waste of
way between Bismarck and Fort Buford
will be 10th to believe that Grinnell,
proprietor Of the commodious and we'll
appointed ranch sixty miles from Blu
ford, is a horse thief and villain or a
harborer of criminals. Acts and APP
pearance are against the supposition,
and GrinnelPs pleasant hospitality is
zone the less kindly in recollection be-
cause it was for a moderate consid-
Grafton. Grinnell don't have to
steal horses for a living. He has alarge
tract under cultivation, and a larger
owe which range valuable herds. In
1880 he raised 80, 900 bushels of oats and
sold all he could spare to the govern
ment for use of the cavalry horses at
Buford. Of course, his ranch and its
concomitant saloon entertained other
than angels, but maybe it is unaWares.

Little Blue Shoes.

Two little shoes of worsted blue,
With satin ribbons woven through
The scalloped tops. and slowly tied
BY trembling hands that could not hide
Their owners Joy, as, standing there,
She proudly held aloft the pair,
Two tiny shoes of azure blue
Were shown to me-but not to you.
She softly spoke. What matchless grace
Lighted her sweet Madonna face!
In smiling lips and cheeks aglow
| saw no fear of future woe;
But, with deepening trust in her tender eyes,
She leaned, in medtative guise,
And showed me those shoes of heavenly hue
AS she whispered low-but not to you.
She whispers now; vet can see
Her face with its gentle mystery.
She smiles and beckons; my fancy teens
With fairy etchings, faint dreams,
But dimly true, that | saw in thought
As looked on the work her hands had wrought
In hours transcendent; Those shoes of blue,
Long hid from me-still hid from you.
Like little ships, serene and still,
They wait for passengers to fill
Their cosy cabins, warm and neat,
Crocheted to shelter baby-feet.
In many port of love and cheer
Such harbingers of life appear.
From myriad pictures this | choose,
\ woman showing tiny shoes.
For little shoes must ever await
The little feet that kindly fate
Brings into the hallowed harbor fair
OF fathers kiss and mothers care:
And l hold that, fast as the world may 90,
Such shoes and shoe-makers twill never out
grow
Queer little shoes, soft and blue,
Sometime-sometime you'll see them too.

Shade Trees.

In regard to shade trees along the pub
lie highways, a correspondent OF the
Maine Farmer makes Il grand sugges-
tion. He remarks that shade trees along
the highway and about the buildings.
adds fifteen per cent. to the value of the
property and suggests tnat every tree,
great Or small, which is found growing in
the right place along the highway, should
be cared for and preserved. no matter
whether the tree be birch, beech, maple,
ash, elm, pine, spruce, poplar or any
other kind. BY trimming the trees along
the roadside and removing supertuous
ones and the bushes. a large number of
fine shade trees could be saved. The
correspondent suggests that each town,
at their annual meeting, vote to empoW
er their selectmen to employ suitable
man, one who understands trees and
who will take a deep interest in the
work, to 60 with pruning knife, saw and
axe, through all the roads in the town.
and select, prune and properly label ali
trees, little and big, growing in suitable
places, to remain as ornamental trees.
We cordially endorse the suggestion, and
hope some action of the kind will be
taken. Meanwhile, We would suggest
that each man who owns farm or land,
attend to raising the trees along the high
way roads of his own land. A day or two
spent yearly would suffice to prune a
large number of trees and remove manv
bushes, adding much to the appearance
not only of the highway, but Of the ad-
joining land.

About the beginning of this century,
an interest in all branches of agricultural
science began to engage the attention
and to offer an inviting field to investiga-
tors. The increasing population. and
the decreased fertility of exhausted soils,
Indicated to thoughtful minds the neces-
sity cfinquiry, and a search for remedies :;
and in successive years Priestly, LaVol
sier, Liebig, Boussingault, Lawes and
Gilbert, and numerous others, studied
agricultural questions in a scientific man
ner. In 1851 the first agricultural EX-
pertinent Station was founded in SaXOny
by Il society of farmers. Its value be
came so apparent at once that it was
recognized by the Government, aud
others soon followed, until now there are
one hundred and thirty stations in Europe,
eighty in Germany alone. But with this
enthusiasm in Europe, progressive Ameri-
cans were long at stand stlll, owing
chiefly to an essential difference in cur
agricultural ~ stem Our lands were
broad ana fertile. Though some on the
eastern seaboard We're showing loss of
power, it was easier to draw on virgin
soil than to redeem the old and only

Some Shark Stories,

''fd Just as soon try to swim a lake of
red hot pitch as to swim over from PEN
sacola to Fort Pickens, said an old pilot
"There are. not so many accidents on
record there, because people know the
dangers and look out for them, but |
know of at least half dozen cases. The
last one happened last summer. A yes
gel came in port for load of lumber and
the captains boy, quite good-sized lad,
in foolng about the rigging, fell over
board. The men heard scream, and
rushed to the rail, but the only sign they
saw was a red cloud in the water. They
got out the boat and finally recovered
the body, but the head and limbs were
gone. Another time q soldier tried to
desert from the fort and was eaten by
sharks. You see the brutes follow yes
sells in from off shore and get in the
habit OF swallowing everything that
comes along, and when man goes over
they rush for the splash. I've seen 'em
moving around on the bottom like a
drove of hogs. They generally swim
slowly when not chased, but they can
work up tremendous race when they
are chased, and Pve seen one jump
twenty feet into the air 70 show you
how hard they can bite," said the pilot,
81 have seen one take piece out of an
oar. Another that was hauled alongside
of small boat took the cut water in its
mouth, and nearly crushed it to a jelly,
leaving twenty or thirty teeth in the
wood. Sometime ago Spanish gunboat
dropped in there, and the officers amused
themselves shark fishing. They had
quite circus. They would take small
dynamite cartridge, bind piece of salt
pork to it, and fix it to float and wire
and send it two hundred feet astern
Pretty soon shark would take it, and
they would fire by the wire, and the fish
would fly into thousand pieces. If one
was wounded the others went for him
and ate him up" Florida Letter to
Philadelphia Times.

The Old VS.. the Young Democracy.
THE BANGOR COMMERCIAL MAKES A RAID ON
EDMUND WILSON.

THE BANGOR COMMERCIAL MAKES a RAID ON
EDMUND WILSON.
Since his reelection as member of the
National Democratic Committee for this
State Mr.. Edmund Wilson seems to be
engaged in the work OF demonstrating
his utter unlitness for the position. He
was found at Augusta the other day by
a correspondent Of the Boston journal to
whom he unbosomed himself for publica-
tion in his usually garrulous fashion. OF
Butler he said that ''his vanity and Old
age havea little unbalanced him" Those
no are acquainted with Mr.. Wilson think
that he must have been unconsciously
thinking of himself While referring to But
er the description is so very apt.
Mr.. Hendricks, 1t seems, is not a man
after Mr.. Wilson's heart. The objection
is that he sis passe and cannot win the
soldier vote" An Interesting criticism
of the Democratic ticket from a member
of the Democratic National Committee,
truly. But then, what else could be eX-
pected Of Mr.. Wilson, The idea Of any
| BODY being nominated for anything who
is in the slightest degree passe must
naturally be regarded with dsfavor by
this youthful champion Of the young
| democracy" The statement that Mr..
Hendricks "can't win the soldier will be
readily helieved-hy the Republican pa
pers-Which recognize in Mr. Wilson an
exponent OF the still surviving spirit
which animated those who shouldered
their musk+ts and went to the front in
| the war of the rebellion.
To the question as to whether there
was much opposition to his reelection
on the National Committee, Mr. Wilson
with Il sudden outburst Of at1ectonate
confidence, replied, They fought me
like the devil Charles Chase was at the
head Of it, He Went to Chicago wanting
| to be chairman, wanting to he On the Ma
tional Committee, and also wanting to be
| on the committee of notification" Mr..
Wilson is correct in stating that there
was a decided opposition to his re-elec-
| ton, but in attributing it to Mr.. Chase,
| but for whose assistance he would have
| been defeated, he manitests either decid-
ed ignorance or decided ingratitude, we
are unable to say positively which.
Having been pumped thus dry by the
| interviewer, the we'll began to emit a
wheezy sound. In regard to how much
of contest would be made by the de-
mocracy in this State, Mr.. Wilson really
| "didn't know" "The committee" said
he, "don't meet till the 9th. There will
] be good deal of money wanted else
where, and | don't know what we shall
decide to do.'
"What we want is a bloody shirt cam
paign with money" wrote Republican
stump speaker from Indiana to the Ma
tional Committee in previous campaign.
What we want is money, or we shall have
an 81 don't know" sort of campaign, says
MIR. Wilson, in effect.
We disclaim, in behalf of the democra-
cy of Maine. the intimation that they
propose to let the election go by default
unless, "money" is forthcoming from
'outside." There are Democrats enough
throughout the State, who belong to the
present generation, to see that the party
does not die of the dry rot which seems
to have affected some of its nominal lead
