The Result,

It was close shave-deucedly uncom-
fortably close. But, with everything con-
sidered, the escape was remarkable. On
one sid c was Douglas and unlimited cash !;
on the other the x-payers with nothing
to defeat division but their votes At the
Winona poll every vote that could be
begged, bought or driven to the polls was
cast. Every conceivable rumor that
it was thought would serve to discourage
anti-divisionists was put forth. 1t was
said that this man and that man would
not vote; that division was sure thing;
that the roads were impossible, etc. By
such methods many voters were kept from
this poll-some living.within q few miles
of town, and many from more distant
sections. But "a miss is as good as a
mile" The people of Williamsport, at
least, have broken no promises. They,
as usual, stood by their friends, and their
friends will stand BY; thea. ,,..,,, ,-..s. 8.

The Better Place for H0meseekers.
The settler who now seeks home in
Dakota, says the Sioux Falls Leader, has
many advantages that the early ones did
not have. He has railroads, good mar
ksts, schools, churches and better than all
else and more valuable, too. is the expert
ence of the first corners. He need spend
neither time nor money in experimenting
on various kinds of crops, but at the first
start can commence with the kinds that
the experience of others has proved
success In this way he may raise crop
the first year that will partly pay for his
land. It has been demonstrated that
profitable crop of fax can be grown the
first year the land is broken, if it is
broken and the seed sown before the first
of June. So that he does not have nearly
two years before receiving any returns
from his farm. Then if he is prepared to
20 into the dairy business even on small
scale, with only two or three cows, he has
market for his butter, and if his means
are limited, something with which to sup
port his family. If he has Thousand
dollars he had better buy land within the
settlements at present prices than to go
further on and take government lands.

CHOLERA.
The EEaro7, Of the Epidemic from Tadia
Westward.


Westward.
The disease is best known in Europe
under the names Of cholera, cholera
morbus. All tie cholera, since the epi-
demic o9 1917 to 1919. in which the En-
glish army, under the command of the
Marquis Of Hastings during a war
against the natives, was rendered unfit
for fighting and almost annihilatcd.
Bat cholera had never visited Europe
till the present contrary, when in 1880 it
appeared in Russia and spread to Po-
land, where war was prevailing. Since
that time, sometimes at longer and
sometimes at shorter intervals, cholera
has aupea ed in Europe. The quest on
why cholera remained a thousand years
IN lad a before il first began 90 migrate
is one OF great interest, but one which
can not be sajjs iaaturily ans W1rcd. The
pyiacipal con liberation appears to me
TO be That the event happened at lie
time when DteccOmmHnlcafoa in al
directions, both by water and laad, had
become more rapid. The first steam
ship appeared in the Indian waters 1T
the beginning OF tie second decade Of
the pres eat century. BY land also in
tercourse was or atty accolcrat d. The
Russians possibly took cholera from
India, Arabia A.ghani tan, o. Persia,
through couriers and st"ge-coaches. L
soon became clear that cholera. the
specific cholera-germ, was IN some way
o. other propagayed along the paths of
human sltercourse, and il also became
evident { 1T unless the germs found a
suitable soil within certain time they
did not flourish. Observers soon di--
covered that cholera was more prone 10
appear in certain regions and to at,ect
certain local ties, while il Stunned other
districts; and. again that other reg ons
were only visited at intervals OF many
years. 1t is also Il fact that Asiatic
cholera never yet appeared Mt q place
which had not previously been in com
nun cation with a rygion where chOl-
era preya led; and, -lr,her. that the dis
ease from an infected locality never vet
passed on to anothe" place if the Jour
ney lasted Il certain time without inter
ruption. The large intercourse be-
tween InIia and Europe, more particu-
larry England, by means OF ships which
sailed round the Cape of Good Hope.
had never succeeded in carrying cholera
from India to England. Dr. Nar con

The Abyssinian alphabet consists OF

Because a boy does not intend to
follow a trade, it is no good reason
WIN he should not learn a trade. n
man does not 90 to the expense of in
suring his house or store because he
expects it to be burned; nor does he
take life insurance when he proposes
10 take a journey on the cars expect
ing to sustain personal damage. lie

cause Of the liability to unforeseen

gliding that to be the safest Of all oc-
cupations but it has often happened,
that Il farmer has been disabled for
doing manual labor on a farm, yet
have sufficient physical strength to
follow some of the many trades. The
time spent in learning trade is earn
ing an investment in stock, which may
some day be convenient to draw upon.
Capital in trade is unlike money
capital; the former cannot be lost in
speculation but the latter may be. a
man may be rich today but by Il sin
gle speculative venture, tomorrow he
may be poor. The transitions from
wealth to poverty are continually oc-
CURING, the columns of the city journ-
ais almost daily record the sudden
loss of fortunes; and the reverses in
business which reduce from opulency
to dependency. \ good trade IS an
abiding reserve help in the event Of
pecuniary disasters. a trade cannot
be squandered away, nor can the rob
Der and the thief deprive its possessor
Of it. The superficial reasoner will
perhaps say the trades are already
oyerdone, and that the multitude of
idle men who are out Of employment
in the cities is evidence of it. This
statement will not bear investigation
Two men are standing on the street,
both out of work; one of them has no
trade, the other is skilled mechanic;
the latter stands at least three times
the chance to find employment at fifty
per cen. better wages than the former.
Besides Of the hundreds of men out of
employment in cities and towns, not
one twentieth of them are skilled
workmen nor have they had a mechi-
cal training.-Ex.

abraham Stockton, who, during
many years, lived in the southern part
Of Arkansaw, was, in honor to his great
learning and also to the fact that he
had once killed a mad dog, elected
justice Of the peace. The people were
very anxious to see a case taken be
fore the old man, for every man knew
that Stocl,ton's opinion would be one
which the supreme court could not re
verse. The opportunity came. Aman
named Eekford sued Mr.. Chcisey.
The litigation grew out Of dispute
concerning the ownership of a lot Of
sheep. \ jury was empaneled, the ey-
idence was taken and the lawyers
made their speeches. The verdict Of
the jury declared that the sheep should
be equally divided. Before discharg-
ing the jury, the magistrate SAID:
"GcntIemen, you've did your duty,
bat you amt made no provisions fur
the cost in this thing, The copsti-
tuition Of the United States says that
when jurymen make sich a oversight,
the judge shall take the matter into
his own hands. Gentlemen, III charge

people Of that town have decided that
such houses shall no longer have Il

We are glad 10 know that the town
authorities have resolved to make it
exceedingly hot for any parties who
attempt to establish any dance houses
or bagnios in this vicinity. Reports
come from all quarters of these houses

proceeding is found to be a necessity

An Interesting Question.

Buffalo Courier.
How many people" inquired Buff
falo philosopher, "begin reading their
daily newspaper at the beginning" The
question excited considerable discussion.
The result of a comparison of IDEAS and
experiences on the subject was that quite
as many people opened their daiIies and
began at the middle of the last page as
there were readers who started'at the be-
ginning of page. Said a participant in
the discussion: 'If you observe a dozen
men who take up newspapers you will
hardly find two who begin to read at the
same place. Go to restaurant, a hotel
office, or a club room and make few
notes on the methods Of newspaper pc
