Students Songs.

Moses King, while a student at Har-
ward College, earned his entire college
expenses of about thousand dollars a
year by making books, such as Harvard
and its surroundings" Kings Hand
book of Boston," "The Harvard Regis
ter" etc, and since graduation. a few
years ago, he has published many sue.
cessful books; among them students
Songs" which has had the most remark
able sale ever known for book of ITS
class. Over 10000 copies of this "Stu-
dents Songs" have already been made,
and the demand il said to be as active as
ever. The probable cause of this success
is the fact that prior to the publication OF
students Songs" there was no book
containing songs and music that have
sprung up and become popular within
college walls during the past ten years.
The songs have been heard and heartily
enjoyed by thousands of people at glee
clubs, concerts, college festivities, col
lege societies, in home circles and social
gatherings. They have a peculiar breezi-
ness and matchmaking capacity that
make them enjoyable on all enjoyable
occasions. The book itself is also cause
of it's success. IT is handsomely printed
and contains sixty songs, with their
music. nearly all of which are copy
righted, and To be found i'm no other col
lection. 1t is a surprise to find so choice
a collection of new and copyrighted jolly
songs and music, selling Tor only fifty
cents. Like almost all successes, it has
its limitations, and some are rather de-
ceptive i'm their makeup. Already sew.
eral so-called collections of student OF
college songs are in the market, but the
genuine and original book of students
Songs" the only one that has been note.
worthily successful is edited and compiled
by VIM. ii. Hills, a Young Harvard grad
uate, and published by Moses King al
Harvard Square, in Cambridge, Mass.

There Is Minneapolis school teacher
who In the last few years, simply from
her own efforts and the money she was
able to earn aud save at teaching, has
pre-empted and gotten under cnltiva-
ton qiarter-section Of land In Dako-
ia near DEVILS Lake, and already
shared the profits of two good harvests
from 1t. Her case Il one exhibiting un-
usual pluck and enterprise. In the first
place, whatever she did was on her
own responsibility and entirely with
out assistance from others. And In
the second place, her efforts were him
dred by even more than the customary
obstacles. Her story being true one
may be Of quite as much value, and
perhaps of as much interest to feminin-
ity as those they are accustomed to
read between paper covers. Having
graduated from the university she
found that her only stock In trade was
her education and native intelligence.
She got good position in the public
school, and In tho course Of two years.
by living economically. was able to
save up quite u little sum of money.
She knew Of friend who intended 10
take up land with her father in Dakota,
and she thought 1t would be good
scheme to do something for herself In
the same way. With plan of opera
tions scarcely more definite than that
she wanted to take land, the plucky
schOOlma'um boarded an emigrant
train and started for the West. Two
young lady cousins OF her friend had
already gone out with the same inten-
ton Tho four girls pre-empted their
claims almost together. There were
vexatious delays and more expense
than was expected, but not enough to
stop proceedings. The houses that
were built were miserable sheds,
scarcely enough to keep the Dakota
transforms out of doors. There was
only one man in the settlement, and
part OF the time he was away. The
first crop which our school teacher
raised was turnips. She also planted
some corn, but it was put In SO late
that il did not amount to much. She
did all her own work. The breaking
of the land she hired done, OF course.
But with her own hand sne s0wed the
turnip seed, and planted the corn; and
made some other, modest attempts in q
very small way at raising vegetables.
All supplies had to he brought by
wagon from the market town, which
was quite distance away. The girls
took turns in visiting one another.
Sometimes they were all alone. And
SO the summer passed. aud our teacher
was obliged to return to her school.
But to comply with the law the place
had to be visited at least once in thirty
days until the presumption should be
completed. Once she was snowbound
and once hindered by floods. On one
occasion she occupied her cottage two
nights in succession all alone, her near
est neighbor ut the time being two
miles away. But she persevered, and
now, after all the hardships, she owns
the land part Of the proceeds of two
good harvests, 1t Is not worth for
tune In money, to be sure, but 1t is all
her own, and she earned 1t too. She

WHEN Gen. Sherman heard that Grant
had been nominated by the president
for the rank of lieutenant general, he
wrote to him as follows: "iou are now

heretofore, to be yourself-simple, hon

and honest as man should be; but the

simple faith in success Won have always

his Savior. This faith gave you victory
