A CHICAGO FARMER.
How a Young Man Tasted the Sweet
Pleasures of a Farmers Life.

One Of our highly-valued exchanges
says: What happiness there is about
the free life of a farmer What pleas
ures. what Joys are known only to the
farmers life.
That fellow writes just as if he had
been there. You can see at 4 glance
that he knows what it is TO roll out OF
bed with wild whoop of freedom at 4

He knows the blissful hours whiled
away in teaching the festive and i'm

gavly through the barn and striking ms
head against the grindstone with a free
and ringing laugh. He has seen the
hired mans fingers melt away before

cused anarchists had been citizens
native born, and occupying high
stations in society, they would have
received no fairer opportunity to
defend themselves from the crimes
of which they were accused. The
lessons to be drawn from the trial
are open and plain, and anarchists
and all evil-disposed classes can see
and hear in the verdict the firing of
the first gun of loyal, law abiding
people. The old flag and not the
red flag yet waves over "the land of
the free and the home of the brave. !"
If anarchists don't like it, it is their
privilege to leave, and the sooner
the better.

This is, perhaps, hardly the correct

cusslng the death OF the young woman
ut Hackney under circumstances in
which Keating,s insect powder largely
figured. As the powder appears BY
DIR. Iidy's experiments TO be perfectly
harmless, the suggestion is not unnatur-
ally made that the deceased, who was
possibly of a hysterical, highly imagi-
native turn of mind, took the powder in
the fun belief that by its means her
death might be accomplished. The
writer of the article in our contempt
rary, we think wrongly, brings forward
two remarkable instances of what
may be regarded as practical Jokes with
melancholy examinations. In the case

experiment cine man was strapped to a

MILWAUKEE, Sentinel. The WO-
mans Christian Temperance union
of this state through their Executive
committee have notified the com
mittee of the Prohibition party that
they are satisfied with the omission
of any woman suffrage plank in the
Prohibition platform. They con-
cede that the omission was, at the
present stage of growth of the Pro
hibition party, an absolute neces-
sity based on the nature of action
through political parties" Brothers
Olin and Hastings have doubtless
informed them that it would not do
at this time to offend the Norwe-
gians by declaring for woman suf-
frage. But President Bascom writes
to the Prohibition organ that the
omission has cleft hole which will
often trip and trouble us" and says
"that noble reserve of AmaZons
would have crushed our enemies
like egg shells by the very force of
numbers"

at the disposition Of President
Cleveland by the Delaware Il Hud-

rondacks is described as a mahogany
palace mounted on twelve paper
wheels of the newest pattern, which
travel noislessly over the iron rails.
The berths when shut into the sides

richly gilded panelled mirrors. In
a spacious bedroom stands the presi
dental couch, placed across the car;
handsomely ornamented and
throne-like piece of furniture, made
of highly polished and frosted brasr
intermiXed, and surmouLted by an
