The Holiday Season Opened-And
Every Day Something New
at G.. Schleuder's.

Every one should cultivate q pleasant
frame Of mind. 1t il just as easy to be
cheerful as it IS to be sullen. But we
should all remember that there are many
things to make US happy. For instance,
if we wish to make some dear friend an
elegant present, and wish to have few
dollars 90 a good ways. it pays to make
iudicieus investments, and one has but
to look over the fine stock of Holiday
Goods at G. Schleuder's, and get bis
prices, to be convinced that little money
will 90 a good wavs; and that the oppor-
tunities offered for purchasing at reason
able figures and securing goods at bar
gains are found in this establishment.
Mr.. Schleuder is a man of public spirit,
and public enterprises; every citizen Of
ward his customers and patrons he shows
the same spirit, doing business on the
same principle He knows there must
DO mutual confidence between both
merchant and customer. therefore, when
the counters are loaded down with goods,
purchased directly from the manufac.
turers, and no says marked down at low
and available prices, tho word and reputa.
ton of the firm is at stake and must be
sustained. Mr. Schleuders ability to pur-
chase from first hands and his constant
effort to keep pace with the ever chang
ing modes of fashion, always getting in
tho new and unique designs and novelties,
makes this house a curiosity shop, where
Santa Claus indeed is king for the holt
day season. This notice is long, but the
firm IS equally deserving, from the fact
that Northern Iowa and Southern Mime
sofa are interested and we wish only to re-
mind them that G. Schleuder is in the field
with large and eiegent stock of Christ
mas Goods, which must and will be sold.
The stock comprises Jewelry Of all kinds
lace pins, earrings, ladies and gents
watch chains, large assortment Of fin
ger rings, shirt studs, sleeve buttons,
cuff buttons. both for ladies and gents.
toilet cases, jewel cases, solid and silver
plated table ware, all kinds, all styles,
all prices; large assortment of elegant
watches, either for gents or ladies; and
children's toys enough to make all the
babies happy in Southern Minnesota.
Remember. that G. schleuder has made
extra efforts this year to have the most
varied and complete assortment of goods
suitable for the holiday trade; and old
and young. rich and poor, have an oppor-
tunity alike to select the plain or fancy,

A rare chance. I have 60 histories of
Mower County, from the first edition,
which is far superior to any other in
print, as they are the original histories
of Mower County. The pages of print
ing are same SIZE as those delivered last
spring, and are trimmed quarter of an
inch shorter and little narrower. They
are bound sin fine morocco and plush,
with gilt lettering on back and side,
with marbled edges, and 1t makes bind
ing fine enough for comfortable or IL
brary To explain the quality of bind
ing, the difference is this much: The
books delivered last spring had 53-cent
binding on. and these have SO binding,
which is all ask. I charge nothing for
the book-just the binding,-which is
very reasonable. On receipt of So will
ship, to any address, one book, and give
three months time on balance due. l

MIR. DEPEW'S NARRATIVE.

The letter of Mr.. Chauncey Depew,
in explanation of his remark that a
most important service of General
Grant to the country was unknown, is
an exceedingly interesting document,
and very important contribution to
our national history.
The story in brief is this: That An
drew johnson was Il poor Southern
white who was condemned by the rul-
ing caste of his section, the slave hold
ing Oligarchy, which he hated bitterly,
and that his ''lOyalty" was more de-
sire to- see that class overthrow by the
government than any especial regard
for the Union. When the assassina-
ton of Lincoln made him president he
resolved to exercise his authority in
taking vengeance, and he insisted as
COMMANDMENTS chief that Grants terms
to Lee and the Confederate army
should he rejected, and the civil lead
ers tried for high treason and the sol
diers rt-martialled. johnson pro-
posed, in fact, bloody vengeance. But
Grant absolutely refused, and said that
he should protect his parole to Lee,
and call upon congress and the country
to sustain him. While johnson was
still endeavOring to persuade Grant,
his tone toward the COnfederates
changed. Their leaders became init
mate ut the White house, and assured
him that as president he had surmount-
ed all caste and class distinctions, and
was now their proper leader. He was
seduced 10y his gratified pride and am
bitiOn, and resolved to maintain so far
as possible the feudal South founded
upon slavery, and began to denounce
the radicalism of congress. He finally
proposed to direct the rebel states to
send their full congressional represen-
tatiOn to Washington, and with mem
bers from the northern states, of
whose assent he was assured, there
would be quorum of one house at
least, and the congress thus formed he
would recognize, and sustain by force
if General Grant would sustain him.
But Grant told him that he would
drive such congress out of the CAPT
toll, and protect the representatives of
the loyal states as the proper congress.
Johnson tried to send Grant out of the
country on mission to Mexico. But
this the General peremptOrily declined.
Johnson did send him on tour of
military inspection to the West, but
Grant knew that Sherman would take
his place. The project was not under
taken, and Johnson was baffled.

ECONOMIZE YOUR STRENGTH.
A Reserve Force.

A case of physical bankruptcy came
under my notice not long since, which
furnishes a text for the present homily.
The conditions were such as are COM
mon to thousands of households
throughout the land. An aged and
widowed mother, during a long and
painful illness, was dependent upon
the care of two daughters, each less
than thirty years old. A slender in
come forbade the help of profession
al nurse, and upon these two girls fell
the extra labor which is a necessary
cOncOmitant of sickness. The service
was Il loving one. They rejOiced that
their own hands could minister to the
necessities of one who grew unspeak-
ably more precious as the time drew
near when the dear worn face would be
buried from their sight Their devO-
ton was so sweet, so tender, so unself-
ish that neighbOrs often remarked,
Chose Blair girls will break down at
ter their Mothers
The prophecy came true of only one,
however. When the beloved presence
had gone out from the home to return
DO more forever, Miss Louisa, the elder,
became the victim of nervous prOstra-
ton and was obliged to go away for
treatment to a celebrated sanitarium
The younger one now had an addition
al burden of lOnliness To bear, and il
was during this time that called upon
her and learned the secret of her mar
velOus endurance.

planted on slate soil do not average
more than one rotten potato to hill.
One farmer dug 1000 bushels from six
acres, another $50 bushels per acre,
while third dug 100 bushels per acre
of marketable potatoes, with compare
lively no rot. These were raised on
slate soils. On the other hand, forty
to sixty per cent. of the potatoes are
rotten which were raised on sand, loan
and gravel soil. Another farmer who
planted in black muck dug from one
hill peck of potatoes with only one
sound tuber. In slate there is FIVE per
cent. of potash. In growing, the tIber
takes no more than it needs, but a Ger
tain amount it must have. Rob the
potato of its potash and it will rob the
grower of its profits. If soil is desti-
tute of elements found in slate for a
growth of this crop it can be remedied
by placing in each hill a handful of
ground slate such as is ground in our
slate hills here for many uses. For
more than ten years have carefully
the effect of slate on potatoes,
and am satisfied it is as necessary for
growing a good crop of potatoes as are
sun and water.
