A Successful DakOtian.

A good example of the enterprise of
nakotians is seen in the career of
Frank L. Hagerty, of Aberdeen. He
went to the territory in 1880 a poor
man, having just graduated from a
three years course as brakeman on
the Pennsylvania road. He went to
jamestown, worked in a bank, and
when Aberdeen was started, engineer
ed deal for the bank by which they
secured 800 acres ofland adjoining the
new town site. He did all the work,
plating the land and puttingit on the
market, receiving two-thirds of the
land for his share. He doomed his
property to the highest point, and
cleared 100000 out oft. To-day he
is the wealthiest man in Central Da.

Tom Brown was always in a fret

Tom Brown was always in fret
Because, somehow, he kept in debt.
Yet he imagined he was wise
And knew how TO economize.
He earned enough to live with pride
And lay a little up beside.
Although he nothing spent for sport,
He borrowed, and was always short.
80 Tom" his wife would say. "a man
Can't manage as woman can;
do try me once, and soon you'll be
From horrid debts and worries free"
Tom only laughed. mo woman can
Handle finances like man.
At length his debts and worries grew
So big ne knew not what to do.
Then he in time to save his life,
Gave all his earnings to his wife.
"Now wife," he groaned, in woe complete,
"See If you can make both ends meet"
Bright years now passed; Tom. freed from
care,
waxed fat upon his wifes good fare.
His debts were paid, and laid away
Was something for rainy day.
What had Toms burden been in life
was pleasure to his careful wife.
MORAL.
Mans forte is earning gold alone;
In spending is his weakness shown.
A woman's forte by Nature meant
Is taking care of every cent.
And he who let's his wife do this
Is always rich, and lives in bliss.

Keep out of Debt.

II Americans could have rooted out
of them the ruinoug and pernicious
habit of living beyond their means,
one of the active agencies in producing
panics, business collapses and depres-
sion of trade would be removed. We
never know how general this habit is
till a crash like that of 1873 comes on
the country. These crashes are sharp,
peremptory notices to pay up, ad-
dressed to every person in debt. The
demand has to be complied with, and
the bankruptcies and breakups in ev-
ery community that fUllUwo reveal
tne large number of persons who have
been living on favor. 1t is easy enough
to live beyond ones means when times
are prosperous. Credit is promptly
extended to all who can make a show
OF property, and not few make use
OF credit to secure show of wealth,
mortgage property which they do not
really own, and the interest charge on
which swallows up large fraction OF
their income. Debts are inexorable,
and sooner or later they must be paid,
either during life, by selling the unfort-
innate debtors mortgaged possessions
and leaving him a bankrupt, or at his
death, by stripping his family of all
their imagined wealth and leaving
them destitute.
There Is no class OF persons who can
less afford to 60 into debt than farm.

they buy the farms of the Americans

California Asphaltum.

To CaEfornia's long list of mineral
and other resources is to be added a
natural substance for paving. Four
years ago some asphaltum mines were
discovered in the Santa Cruz Noun
tains, and the Material has been test

Der of the cities and large towns of
State. Some paving has recently been
done with it in San Francisco. The

A British Grumblo.

of the latest alarmist letter on the
