DAKOTA;S CLAIM.

Dakota came out of the rugged Northwest
All bushes and tremors and clad i'm her best;
Her pretty lip quivered, but bravely she
came
Her right as daughter-the youngest-to
claim
Half smiling, half sObbing, and o, she was
sweet!
For her hair had the gold that you see in the
wheat
When the summer is old. and the blue of her
eyes
Was as deep as the blue of her own Northern
skies.
Her fair limbs were clad in a garment of
green,
Just the hue hat in May on the prairie is
seen.
All embroidered with flowers in wreath and
festOOn.
Just the sort that are seen on the prairie in
June
A mantle of ermine she bore on her arm,
For the winter is cold and maid should be
warm,
A mantle of ermine. as white as the snow,
Or as white as the arm that was hidden be-
low.
So came she. so stands she, still waiting, she
pleads
At the gate with the tyler, but little he heeds.
There's "A tear ON her eyelash. o, who but
churl
Could refuse the request Of so charming q
girl?

THE LADY RAMBLER
Tells a Parable OF the Dead Street
Car Driver.

/ was out shopping with Esmerelda the
other day and we dropped into a cafe fOr
lunch. / noticed that she looked a little
peculiar when ] ordered a cup
of weak tea, but didn't know why till
heard her tell the maid TO bring a
bottle of porter; then 1 of course knew that
it must be the correct thing for ladies to
take porter at lunch, for Esmerelda is moth
ing if not eminently fashionable and proper,
and felt so awfully Old-timey with my
weak tea that L wasn't a bit reassured by
the maids announcing that the porter
would have to be sent for, as there was no
saloon attached 10 the cafe.

The short, clOsely-ftting jacket of seal
that is this season affected by young ladies'.
while perhaps less comfortable. is much
more becoming than the long, loose cloak,
and imparts an awfully jaunty air to its fair
wearer.

But, while waiting for Esmerelda's
porter, my attention was attracted 10 the
young lady who sat at the next table. She
was gotten up in the latest style, and she
seemed one of those fair and fragile Great
ures who are commonly supposed to live
upon fresh air and sunshine. Imag-
inc then my establishment at hearing
her order light repast of bacon and liver,
pork and beans, corn, tomatoes. charlotte
russo and coffee, and picture my amaze
ment at seeing her get away with il all as
coolly and unconcemedly as if such spreads
were everyday occurrence. as perhaps they
were.

Feeding New Corn.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
In the great pork-producing States
it is a common and convenient prac-
tice to feed corn to hogs as it is drawn
from the field. The corn need not be
husked so clean as when it is to be
cribbed for some months, and all the
labor and expense ofcribbing is saved.
/ have fed new corn in this way to
my hogs, especially those being fat
tened for market, quite largely for a
score of years, and have never been
able to discover the bad effects which
some claim follow from feeding the
new corn. i have had no disease
among my swine for nineteen years,
although at sometime within eleven
of those years swine disease has ragged
violently in my neighborhood, and
hogs on adjoining farms have "died
like flies" L summer my hogs on
red clover; and as the clover fails in
the fall and begin feeding corn, l
use old corn till the hogs have come
to full feeding. Then l change gradu-
ally to new corn and feed it altogeth-
er until within ten days of market
ing, when I revert to old corn. AT
all times / am particular to supply
my hogs regularly with salt, andc con-
tinously with ashes and charcoal but
when feeding new corn 1 am all the
more particular about these supplies,
l do not feed the new corn until it has
ripened almost enough to allow of its
being cribbed. Feeding new corn is
so convenient that | think it an adj
visable practice, and, if the feeding is
judiciously done, believe it to be
perfectly safe. Another, and often a
very material gain derived from feed
ing new corn is, that there is no loss
from the depredations Of rats and
mice, which can hardly be prevented
when the crop has to be kept.

The Dog Stopped Talking.

Albany Argus.
A solemn man in a Western city
recently entered restaurant, followed
by his dog, seated himself and called
for a bill of fare. Itwas given him.
"What would you like to have,
sir?" asked the waiter, Tipping the
table with his napkin.
The dog meanwhile had climbed
upon a chair on the other side of the
table and was gravely regarding his
master.
"Well," said the solemn man, re-
tiectively, "Gimme some OK tail
SOUP"
"Gimme the same," said the dog,
The walters face assumed the color
of cold boiled veal.
Cup O. coffee and plenty ofmilk,"
went on the solemn man.
"Gimme the same," said the dog.
The waiter shuddered, and turning
fled for the kitchen.
A man with a squint, at an adjoin-
ing table, was much interested in the
scene. He had observed it closely,
and finally spoke to the solemn man:
"It must be a fearful lot O. work to
teach that dog to talk, mister"
"It was" said the solemn man.
81 should think So" said the dog.
"What 'ud you take for himnOw ?"
said the man with a squint.
"Wouldn't sell him." said the SOL
emn man.
"You'd better not" said the dog.
The man with squint was much
impressed. He began making wild
offers, and when he reached 5000 the
solemn man relented.
"Well," said he, 81 can't refuse
that. l hate to part with him, but
you can have him."
"He'll be sorry for it" said the dog
The man with the squint drew a
check for the amount, which he gave
to the solemn man. The man was
about leaving when the dog cried
again:
"Never mind, I'll get even. I'll
never speak again."
He never did.
The gentleman with squint was
proprietor of show.
The solemn man was a professional
ventriloquist.

Peaches Every Year.

Country Gentleman.
A few energetic cultivators in the
northwestern States succeed in grow
ing superior crops Of peaches every
year by giving little winter protec-
ton. Two methods are noted. In
one, the trees are planted in a sloping
position, and trained to a flat, or a
fan-shaped form. Late in autumn
the branches are bent down, and
covered with corn stalks, which, by
retaining the warmth frena the soil,
prevent hard freezing. The other
method is to plant the trees at the
base of a steep slope, or high bank,
when by training in the same man
ner, the branches may be laid over
against the bank, and covered as
above noted. 1t would appear that
the expense Of covering would be
slight as compared with the value Of
a fine crop of peaches.

"Allow me to speak to youagain, sir.
l wish to apologize, sir; / beg your
pardon, sir: / assure you, sir, that
nothing would induce me knowingly
to insult a clergyman"
81 responded very pleasantly: 81
am certain, sir, that no insult was in
tended, and therefore there is no par
don to be granted"
He thanked me very warmly for
my kind construction of his motive,
and left me with lighter step and
brighter face. His companions were
all greatly pleased with my treatment
of the matter, and, as l have else
where said, there was general turn
out of all the gamblers-of whom he
was one of the most prominent-to
hear me preach in the ball room the
next Sabbath. But l need not say to
any one at all familiar with lifein the
Southwest that he had to "stand
treats" all around among his COM
panions for being thus, In the YER
nacular of the country, "picked up"
by clergyman.
In passing through another part of
this country the following winter 1
rode up to blacksmith shop to get a
shoe frightened. AS soon as the
blacksmith came out hesaid: "Wasn't
you you at the Springs last summer
with this mare"
replied in the affirmative, and,
on looking at him, recognized the
man that had kept a little shop there
and had shod her in the summer.
"Well," said he, leaning upon her
neck, patting her affectionatly, and
looking in vacancy with a pleased ex.
preston, as living over some pleas
ant scene of the past, '"they got hel
out, Preacher, and run her, anyway
And then, as to make the matter all
right with me, he looked up into my
face and said, with the most satisfied
smile and emphatic nod: "And
Preacher, she beat, she did. He wor
his money"

The Coming Crysanthemum Show

The applications for space already
received for the November display of
chrysanthemums are ten times as
large as those last year. All the new
European seedlings and hundreds Of
American ones, together with rare
plants from japanese amateurs, will
insure unprecedented variety, and
this will be increased by novelties in
training like the fern shaped plants,
after the French fashion, columnar
plants with several varieties grated
on one stem, dwarf plants, standard
forms and many more. 1t is proba-
bic that the groups of twenty-five
plants competing for the $3.50 prize
will be the best group ever collected.
The preparation for cut flowers among
rival growers has been elaborate, and
blooms six inches in diameter will
be abundant. A japanese garden,
with japanese scenery and surround
ings, and an old-fashioned Artemisia
garden, with the autumn flowers our
grandmothers delighted in, are both
in preparation. Secretary Thorpe Of
the New York Horticultural Society
is confident that the exhibition will
be the best the world has ever seen,

TOMORROW AND YESTERDAY
By ELLA W. WILCOX.

1t is better to lean toward Tomorrow
Than to weep over Suns that are set;
The Future holds hope that we borrow,
The Past only offers regret.
From the Past we can gain no concession
1t is voiceless and clothed like the night
But the far.distant Hills of Progression
Are crowned with Glory of Light!
Tomorrow's white, beautiful pages
Are yours to write on as you may;
But with the closed Ledgers of Ages
Are Yesterdays leaves locked away.
To the Future let NOW be beholden,
And not to a day that is gone;
There was never Sunset so golden
But lovelier still is some dawn.
No recompense, no satisfaction,
Rewards those who seek for the Past,
But the soul that is restless with action
Win find all it longs for at LAST.
