How GO Make winter Evenings
RnnAa nlhlA.


This is the season of short days and long
evenings, the best time of all the year for
study and improvement.
Perhaps you are young man DESTROYS OF
obtaining commercial employment. One OF
the best passports in that direction, next to
good character, is good handwriting. OF
course, you know how to write, but like the
great majority, probably, you have never
trained yourself to write well. No merchant
wants his books disfgured by awkward and
illegible scrawling. No lawyer will submit
to badly written copies. We suggest you de-
vote yourself this winter to persevering en-
deavors to improve your penmanship. You
will be surprised at the improvement which
real effort in this line will achieve.
May be you would like to learn stenogra-
ply and type-wrting. The faithful employ
ment of your winter evenings in this work
may make you first-class graduate before
the long days come again, and enable you to
earn a handsome support
Do you wish TO become expert as me-
chanical draughtsman There are excellent
| instr icton books sold very cheaply. The in
| dustrious occupation Of your evening hours
as learner will surely be fruitful of results.
We know of excellent draughtsmen, now en-
| joying good salaries, who taught themselves
| to draw in evening hours, while companions
idled away their time in smoking cards or
| gossip.
Are you of an inventive turn of mind
| The best of all times to study up and think
out plans for new contrvances is in the qui-
etude of evening. The results of earnest
thought in the production of inventions are
simply astonishing In general, it is the i'm
provements in simple devices, things of ev-
eryday use and that everybody wants, which
are the most profitable. The patent for the
little invention of the spring window shade
roller, now 50 generally employed in all
dwellings, has brought great wealth to the
fortunate inventor. He is now a millionaire.
His device was truly happy thought. We
know of lady in Chicago whose patents fol
the invention of a moving belt for drying
eggs, albumen, etc, have revoutionized Ger
tain great branches of trade, and now bring
her great income. The people want inn
provements in every conceivable form. Mo-
only is the field of invention vast, but it IL
open to everybody. There are no distinction
in respect to sex or age. The way to inven
is to ''keep thinking the way to accom-
plsh anything is to ''keep working, "-Scien
tifc Americdn.

Myself to touch single drop OF the Accursed thing7
Or If some dainty bit Of life, with hAxen hair and

And, with my breath polluted, would call upon the

Or, if l were maiden, do you think I'd ever wed

That all his earnest purposes could be with ain rife
That In the cherished Eden would lead banefu life,
And bring drunkards blight and curse upon loving
wife?
If were husband, with a wife and gladstone child,
Then should stamp their lives with sin because Of
rawlings wild2
I'd rather be father that could make my children
husband that wife could love and honor all the
while
oh If could ia be man that In old age could tell
He'd chosen here, instead Of broil, in quietude to
dwell
And that he'd scorned the druukards cup-the pois-
oned cup Of hell.
II any living thing that God had caused to be,
I'd strive to be the very best that could be made Of
And if could I'd use my voice with all my might and

Last Tuesday a DELEGATION Of Datot

Last Tuesday delegation of Dakots
men called upon President Cleveland il
the interest of the settlersj who have
gone upon the 80 called Winnebago an d
Grow Creek reservation. They stated
the case as 1t is and plead for the rights
OF the white man, asserting their belief in
the legality of President Arthur's order
opening the reservation. The president
listened to their statements and prom
ised that no further proceedings would
be taken until the matter was thoroughly
investigated, and in any event the inter
ests OF the settlers would be protected. It
may happen that the presidents judg.
ment will yet be sufficient to overturn
the schemes of the bogus philanthrop.
lists of the east, who are endeavoring to
prevent the occupancy of these lands by
industrious white settlers. If the presi'
dent will place the investigation in the
hands of unbiased men the result will be
satisfactory to the civilized end of the
controversy.
