4 solid Chunk of Truth.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean steps to the
front with a word against the too COM
mon decrying of wealth. 1t says:
There is altogether too much said
against wealth. Because this always
as been so IS good reason to hold that
it always will be so. Wealth means
not dishonor or corruption or crime
and the young man who has started life
under the impression that TO be rich
means to be corrupt needs to take
tack. 1t is wholly honorable for him
to seek riches in the broad acres of the
great West, in the hidden places of
mother earth, in the avenues of trade.
When shall the day come when the
complaint will not be made that capt
tai is robbery and wealth a crime?
Not till the men who guard great for
tunes learn the worth OF the true man
hood working beneath them; not till
truer hearts shall beat in the breasts
of malcontents; not till the man of
sun-browned Drawn shakes hands with
the man of gold. Let the dangers OF
wealth-seeking be left for the nonce
with the teacher of ethics. The die
tates of honesty, uprlghtness, and
probity are clear to every young man.
Ii is honorable tor him to be rightfully
rich; he may attain to great wealth nm
tainted by corruption and innocent OF
oppression; he may make for himself a
name that shall be to his sea-beaten
brothers lighthouse Of perpetual
shining

The convention at Fargo hel,t its final
session on the 14th. report was adopted

miles, with an already sufficient depth Of
water for navigable purposes, the dyking
OF Lake Traverse for a reservoir, and the
dredging of the Red river to n connection

way uavigabie from the foot of Big Stone

No man liked dogs. better than
Charles Rcade When 1 first knew

Superior Tiny" When this superior
creature took his departure, full of
wears and honOrs, aud his loss had
been deplored for a considerable pc
Rod. the great novelist went down to
the Dogs Home at Battersea-upon an
occasion made memorable by famous
article in The Daily Telegraph and
bought five dogs, chiefly mougrel, for
he always maintained that the n iXed
breed was the most intelligent of the
canine species. Three of his purchase
he presented to friends, but Puff. a

Some years ago, when Reade was
visiting with us, IAN interesting event
occurred to our little brown terrie,
who was an especial fayorite with Leo

this visit he was taken i'll and confined
to his room for some days. 1t was
summer time. and every morning at
3 o'clock, before the household was
astir, Miss Bebba used to carry the
only two remainin, members of her
family to the door of his chamber and
scratch until she was let in. Then she
would take the pups in her mouth and
deposit them on the bed, one on either
side of Reade. This done, she would
spring up and coil herself around his
neck. Many time have / seen them

1t takes certain degree Of self
denial for a person to go night after
night TO sumptuous rcpasts and not
gorge himself into torpidity on yiands
made tempting TO the eve and seductive
to the palate by the art Of the chief,
The king of the after-dinner speakers,
the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, enjoys
health that one cannot reconcile with
his constant attendance at banquets.
Self-denial is his explanation of 1t.
HIS own way of putting it is:-''lf u
man cannot deny himself at entertain
ments, he has no business TO 90 to
them. Mr.. Depew looks over his
menu the first thing ON taking his seat
at the table, and selects what he shall
eat His selections made up plain,
simple dinner, such rs he would have
served at home. The entire dinner,
in all its elaborate details, is served to
him. but he partakes of only the dishes
that he has fixed upon. lie does not
indulge in pastries and ices, and does
not drink coffee at night. although he
does at other times. ''All vegetables,
using his words, Il cat in season or
out OF II Tor that matter, IN these days
OF cans. Fruit he likes at all times,
and he does not believe in the old
tropical adage, thatit is leaden at night.
Fruit at dinner in the evening. he
thinks, is sometimes pleasant, and not
harmful at all As in eating so in
drinking. some persons can partake
of what others cannot. Only one kind
Of wine, Mr.. Dcpew thinks, should be
drank. Champaign he regards rs the
safest, because it is the purest. But if
person has a speech to make, he is a
fool to drink over half bottle. Mr.
Depew's axiom is Touch only one
wine, but for the sake of peace, per-
NIT all the glasses TO be filled, and let
them stand around the plate like
sentinels in all the colors of the rain
