An Angels Touch.

One evening, not long ago, little girl of
nine years entered place in which is a
bakery, grocery and saloon in one, and
asked for five cents worth of tea.
How's your mother ?" asked the boy,
who came forYard to wait on her. cav.

day." The boy was just then called to
wait upon some men who entered his sa-
loon, and the girl sat down. In five min
utes she was nodding, and in seven she
was sound asleep, and leaning her head
against barrel, while she held the poor
old nickel in a tight grip between her
thumb and finger. One of the men saw
her as he came from the bar, and after
asking who she was, said "Ssy, you
drunkards, see here. Here we've been
pouring down whiskey, when this poor
child and her mother want bread. Here's
two-dollsr bill that says I've got some
feeling left" "And can add dollar"
observed one. "And I'll give another"
They made up purse of five dollars, and
the spokesman carefully put the bill be.
tween two of the sleeper's fingers, drew
the nickel away and whispered to his
comrades "Just look a-here, the gals
dreaming" So she was. A big tear had
rolled out of her closed eyelid, but the face
was covered with smile. The men tip
toed out and the clerk walked over and
touched the sleeping child. She awoke
with laugh and cried out: "What a
beautiful dream Ma wasn't sick any
more, and we've had lots to eat and wear,
and my hand burns yet where the angel
touched it !" When she discovered her
nickel had been replaced by bill, dol

could carry, she innocently said; swell,

PUMPKIN PIES.

I've tried the best
In East and West,
I've lunched meath ttoplc zone,
I've tested all
The fruits that fall,
And like them every one;
But North or South,
No human mouth,
will the world apprise,
Fer tasted food
One half 80 good
As our own pumpkin pies.
Upon the vine,
In rain or shine,
Through fragrant day and night,
The yellow globe
In emerald robe
Drinks in the summer light.
oh, golden sweet,
The suns repeat
To mould thy luscious size,
That we may come
And roll thee home,
And make our pumpkin pies.
Our lovely girls.
With shining curls
Put neatly in cap,
Cut slice on slice
And peal it nice,
And stew II to pap;
Then milk is had,
And eggs they add,
And sweeten as ia wise,
While Others haste
To spice to taste
These homemade pumpkin pies.
Oh, pure and fair,
This food 80 rare,
Made up of all that's best
No creatures pain
Goes to its gain,
But only natures zest;
For summer days
And autumn haze
And smiles from beauty's eyes
Are in the dish,
Mixed to our wish,
That we call pumpkin pies.
No wonder, then.
That loyal men,
From Florida to Maine,
Their quarter eat,
The same repeat,
And pass their plate again;
That exiles fret
With vain regret,
And vex the air with signs,
When forced to stay
In climes away
From their own pumkin pies.
So to our toast
give boast,
Embroidered all in rhyme;
May pumpkins round
With us abound
Through future autumn-timel
And may our girls
With shining curls
And tender beaming eyes,
All learn by heart
The happy art
OF making pumpkin pies.-Hdrper's b.

The Press and Dsketalan Is much ex-
ercised over the part the Bismarck crowd,
as 1t terms those who agree with the su-
preme court Of the terrltezy that the re-
moval of the capital from Yankton to
Bismarck was legal, is taking in the cam
psign for delegate. 1t says the plan of
the Bismarck crowd Is to send contestlng
delegations to Pierre and in that way
prevent the denomination of MIR. Boy-
mond. Just how the P. and D. arrives at
this conclusion does not appear upon the
surface of the campaign nor does that
paper explain. There is certainly no con-
testing delegation from Bismarck, and
whatever R. +. Pettigrew may be doing
in that line down in his district cannot be
considered as the WORK Of the Bismarck
crowd. The Grand Forks Herald Is the
most bitter opponent Of the capital re-
meval scheme in the territory and yet It
is strong supporter of Raymond. The
2. and D. seems to be somewhat reckless
in its assertions.

THE Chicago lnter-Ocean is disposed
20 look somewhat seriously upon the But
Ter fusion scheme and says it may result
in the election OF Cleveland as president
and Logan vice president. This result it
figures out to almost certainty If the
presidential electors are so divided among
the candidates that neither party shall
have majority in the electoral college
and the election shall be thrown into the
house, in which case, as provided by the
constitution, the house would have to
choose president from the three candl-
dates having the highest number of elec-
torsl votes and the senate vice presi-
dent from the two candidates having the
highest number of votes for that office.
The vote IN the house would be taken by
states, each state of course voting as the
majority Of the congressional delegation
from the state should decide, and each
state counting one vote. This would
give Cleveland twenty-five states or votes
which would elect him. The senate
would choose the vice president without
regard to states each senator casting one
vote which would elect Logan. Every
vote cast for the Butler electors is really a
vote for Cleveland and Logan. Blaine is
the man Butler is after.

1HE ds16cratlc movement in south

gullibility Of the republicans Of the terri

sion that Dakota is democratic and there

democrats Of this territory proposing such
a scheme to deceive their own patty IN
congress is about as amusing as It iel
transparent and We hardly think the re-
publicans will become . party to such =
gauzy trick uf deception and false pre-

on the part Of the democratic members OF

it is the political complexion OF state or

George Francis Train, who accuses But

them in his address to tho people; np'

ing on those ideas for fifteen years. But
ler has been accused Of spproprist,oe
spoons during his military reign in NV
Orleans, but he has never before been up

purposes by Dan. Voorhees, and Ton.

it gives out incidents, dates, circu,n-

minete particularly and asks MIR. Blaine
to answer them. 1t makes Blaine the do
fendaat before the great body Of the peo
pie aad is no doubt intended to be used
against him in thetcsnvass. This part Of
the answer was evidently designed fo'
that purpose alone for the attorneys well
know that the demurrer to this part Of

court. Mr.. Blaine probably made the
greatest mistake of the campaign in com;
mencing this suit however infamous and
provoking the libel may be.
