DAKOTA HISTORICAL.

Dakota was once New France; in
1863 it became the property of
Spain; in 1900 the property Of
France again; in 1903 the property
of the United States. Then it was
included in the District Of louisiana
under the government OF Indiana
Territory; then in 1905, it became
o part of the territory Of Louisiana,
in 1912 the Territory of Orleans"
having been admitted into the
Union under the name of Louis
iana," Dakota's territory was called
Missouri. When, in 1911, the state
Of Missouri was carved out Of this
territory, Dakota belonged to a
nameless waste until 1884. Then
all OF it east of the Missouri and
White Earth rivers fell into the
arms Of the Territory of Michigan.
In 1886 Michigan took what she
needed for a state, and slid under
the Union tent, leaving us in the
Territory Of Wisconsin. In 1888
the territory was divided and we fell
into the arms Of Iowa. In 1916
Iowa marched in under the Union
flag and turned us v to Mime
sofa. In 1853 Minnesota tore what
she wanted off from the piece and
followed off the Union circus, leay-
ing us out here cold and nameless,
with nobody to spank us, or tuck us
in our little bed until April 2, 1861,
when congress played the Organic
Act OIL us, with the present name
and boundaries. Now, we boys
south of the 46th parallel, having
worked under Uncle Sam for nearly
twenty-five years, think we ought to
be let to take a reasonable share Of
the farm and run il to suit our
selves, especially as we are willing
and anxious to enter into bonds
with the rest of the family to take
care of the old man as long as he
lives, having laid up enough of our
earnings to be a~bundantly able to do
that thing.--Huronite.

Commissioner Sparks is a great
ruler and he does a pile of it. He
rules against his predecessor, the
supreme court and thousands of poor
settlers, where he hits the hardest.
Mr.. Sparks is a great man, who has
taken upon himself a good sized job
that will take many long years of
hard labor for him to finish. The
chances are that before he gets very
far along with it we will have a new
administration and there will be no
further use for his serylces.-Ex.

The democratic supreme court of
Ohio has rendered its decision in
the Hamilton county contested ell
ection cases appealed from the cir
cult court of that county, giving
certificates of election to the demo-
cratic candidates for senator and
representatives. These scoundrels
will hold their seats by one of the
most villanious frauds ever perpe-
trsted on a free people. The re-
publlcans will still have a majority

The Piazza of ST Marks is as much The
centre of the religious as of the social life Of
Venice for its browning glory is the church
of St Mark. Marvellous upon its exterior,
1t is no less marvellous within, appealing
more strongly to the religious element than
any other church in the world. Its doors
stand open dag and night, prayer never
ceases within its walls, and the sacrament is
constantly adored upon its altar. Therefore
there Is an endless crowd. old and young,
women and soldiers. children and priests
continually passing through its nave. In
fact, so accustomed are the people to the
most famaiar use of the church, that often
ss ~ the market woman set down her heavy
basket In the vestibule, or the vender of
fried fish deposit the yoke upon which his
wares were hung at the entrance doors
From little narrow street which elbowed
st Marks on the north many busy mothers
emerged to rush across the square and say
hasty PRAYER in the church. These mothers
never had any baby carriages. but they
pushed the little ones before them in a queer
sort OF cage, akin 10 what in remote parts of
New England is even now called stand
ing stool"
These standing 'ools are high enough to
come under the baey's arms and allow his
feet to rest on the floor. Being larger at the
bottom than the top, the support is firm
and the wheels, fastened securely to the
base, allow the child to push himself along
1t is very convenient to use this old-time
continuance in Venice, as the squares and
many of the streets are paved with great
blocks of white marble, smooth and level as

His short sleeved blouse showed his plump

laughed to their dusky depths as he shook
defiantly in the air the odd toy he sturdiy
held close 10 his widest flight. After him
still clattered his irritated mamma. On
account of her high heeled shoes she could

CONVERSATION.

Not faithful heart nor valiant hand
Wins always honors guerdon;
Uncrowned, full many hero falls.
Before an encircling Gordon
The patient deliver in the mine
It's wealth may not discover,
And beauty's grace and tenderness
Repay not fondest lover.
Yet still the level-balance waits.
Poised true by fste answering:
No perfect gift of heaven rewards
The recreant undeserving.
The tinseled baubles fame oestows
Are tarnished in the winning;
The goal attained through tears and pain
But mocks the grand beginning.
On, soul, that seest thy longed-for prize
Bestowed upon another,
Be brave to bear thy sore defeat.
Thy grief and anger smother;
Nor back upor thy toiling years
Look with regret forever;
Thou hast the best that lie can give
The rapture OF endeavor.
Sarah ID. Hobert.
