The Photographer, Like the

No Conscience.

The Young Ladies Of st. Paul
Are Catching the Latest
Eastern Fads.
"A Few Of the Most Common
Types Of Those Who Want
Pictures.

"A photographer has no more busi-
ness with conscience than has poll
tician," said prominent photographer
to Pauline the other day. ''He is sue
cessful only as he manages to dress up
the truth to suit the taste of the eople
to whom he is catering. A picture tha
looks like him is the last thing Oh ear tn
anybody wants. Folks go through the
ceremony of sitting before the camera
just to give name to the thing of
beauty the photographers art produces.

The Burglars and the Lone Widow

Detroit Free Press.
A burglar got into the house of frail-
looking, sad-eyed little widow in Tue
son the other night. Not finding any
vaiuables down stairs he stealthily as
cended to the second floor and entered
the room where the sleeping and un-
Suspecting woman lay with smile that
told of pleasant deans on her lips.
Roughly shaking her, the daStardIy
intruder said, gruffiy:
Here, wake up; now keep cool; no
use yelling; know as we'll as you do
that you are alone in the house; Just
hand over the keys tO-here, stop that |!
let go! help! murder! help? 90 OH !!

When the police finally got there they
found the burglar done up with clothes

his eyes in the coming tO'' process:
when they rested on the little widow
they took on beseeching look as he

AN ORIGINAL WOMAN.
Some of the Whims of a Charming
AuthOreSS.

One of the most widely-discussed nov
elistS of the day is Miss Amelie Rives,
author of ''rhe Story of Arnon," who
was the fourth son of Noah. A close
glance at this promising young author
eSS may not be without interest to many
of the readers of romance. Miss Rives
is Southern girl, having been born in
Richmond, Va, and is said to be Sis
ter of State Senator RiveS. She is very
handsome, tall and commanding in fig
ure, and blonde in complexion. She is
a reigning favOrlte in society and wieldS
the artists brush almost as Skillfully as
she does the novelist'S pen. Indeed, so
strongly do these two distinct talents
predominate, that the young lady's dis
nance perSonified. In the early fall,
when natures brush had just begun to
color the trees and grasses, gentleman
called at Miss RiVes' home and pre-
Sented letter of Introduction. She
returned Il satisfactory excuse; she
was much occupied at the mo-
ment, but would be pleased to
receive the guest should he return at
IL o'clock the same night, Somewhat
myStified. the gentleman acquiesced, ,and
returning at the hour appointed was
uSleTeU Dy COlOI6U IIidlQ II1UO Il r6CroaC
in the woods, which was fitted up in the
style of rural bower. Here Miss RiveS
received him, arrayed in full ball cos
tune, entertained most brilliantly and
delightfully."- for an hour, then rising and
extending to him the tips of her daintily
gloved fingers, wished him a graceful
''good night"
Of the same lady is told that she has
an artist friend, gentleman, whom she
permits to criticise her artistic produc-
tionS. Recently she painted portrait
of herself in Scant, flowing drapery, and
sent it to him for criticism; not, she said,
as to artistic merit. but for truth to ma
ture, style, etc. The artist returned the
picture with the candid verdict that the
face was excellent, but the figure, which
was plainly visible, was that of an old
woman. Miss RiveS then laughingly
confessed that her old colored nanny
had ''sat for the figure, but so long as
he had discovered the deception, she
would change the picture and send it
all of herself, whiclA she did. ''The
Story of Arnon," above mentioned, is
in its way a remarkable production, and
if the young authoreSs be eccentric in
her ideas and manners, she is neverthe-
less possessed of unusual talent and
originality.

A properly conducted printing Office is
as much secret as Il Masonic lodge The
printers are not under oath of secrecy
but always feel themselves as truly in
honor bound to keep Office secrets AS
though triple oathcd. Any cmploye in a
printing Office who willingly disregards
this fact, in relation to printing Office
secrets, would not only be scorned by
his brethren of the craft, but would lose
his position at once. We make this state
ment because it sometimes happens that
communication appears in a newspaper
under an assumed signature, which ex-
cites comment, and various parties try to
find out who is the author. Let all be
saved the trouble of questioning the en-
ployes of the printing Office. They are
know-nothngs on such points as these.
On such matters, they have eyes and ears,
no mouth, and if they fail to observe this
rule, let them be put down as dishonorable
members of the craft. 1t is the same in
job printing. If anything is to be print
ed and kept secret, let proper notice be
given of the desire for secrecy, and you
might as well question the Sphynx, as
one of the printers, so that even the
secret books of lodges are printed with
out fear.-Press and Printer.

There is a mistaken idea of the Main,
farmers, that they obtain more from al
acre of corn by not getting the corn il
from the field until it has dried up ant
gets hard. When the corn is full in Tia,
milk and before it gets hard and reaches
the right weight, it of course increase
its value for canning purposes.
Considering the fact that the main diff
ference between the fancy canned corr
and the common corn consists in the re
latiye tenderness of the kernels, it viii
seem to be for the interest of the Main,
farmers as well as the Maine packers, Il
have the corn canned in proper condition
so that the reputation of the State OF
Maine will not suffer. The absolute truth
fulness of this statement will be realized
when we say that the old fashioned STYLE
of Maine corn packed in slip-shod man
ner, sells to-day at about Sl.0O while the
Maine corn packed under the fancy brand
sells at Sl.25, there being an additional
expenses upon the fancy brands by rca.
son of the wrapping and lacqucring the
cans, etc.
Ii is supposed by many who are not
familiar with the details of raising corn,
that the condition of the coru in the fall
is due wholly to the season. \ greater
mistake was never made. IL the farmer
plants only what he can keep well man
urcd and not allow the weeds to get ahead
of him, in time he will find in spite of the
drough or bad weather generally, he will
have more from his corn crop than from
ANYTHING else he can raise during the
same season.
This gives us a good illustration, viz =
Two men have only II fence dividing
them one of them will come to the fact
CRY in the fall and carry away $50 90 and
the other will carry away SO 90. The
corn fodder from these two pieces will
be just about the same proportion in val
he, but the land that produced the poor
crop for the next season will be worth
about the same proportionate value. while
the land which produces the $1,000 worth
of corn will be worth three times as much
next year for the farmers as the one that
produces $50 90. The $50 90 piece was
the result of shiftlessncss of the farmer
and following these two pieces still fur
ther, the corn from the S75 90 piece will
be worth to the packer a great deal more
than the corn from the $50 90 piece.
A bushel of ears from the $50 piece
will weigh from twenty to twenty five
per cent more per bushel than bushel
from the $50 piece. The hull and sack
from the $1j piece will he soft and tend
er, while the hull from the $50 piece will
be hard and unpalatabe and the kcrnals
be woody and hbrouS. There is very
much the same difference between these
two pieces of corn, rs there is between a
skim milk calf and one fed in the natural

Worthy Master, Byo0cs, S"fe,' mud ft'eads'

Some said before five years had flown
Tho grass would over US be grown,
But s,.l We live, and shall live on
I'LL ail who SOW and reap are gone.
Listen, and the story will relate
Ofthis Grange organization up to date.
In 1871 in the mind Of NJ. o. Dean
The idea did appear, and 10 it he took heed
That a Grange was our need.
T. II. Bosworth was consulted twice
And they both thought il nice;
Then word to o. A. Bowman was sent,
And from Skowhcgan Grange was asked con
sent,
And twice to Madison Bridge they went
1t did not take but little time
To get the members all TO sign.
Brothers twenty, sisters not plenty,
o. A. Bowman came without delay
And we had Grange rightaway.
Then came the collection,
The next was election.
From the records this wc CLEAN,
Our first master was VI. o. Dean
In numbers We gained
1t must have been ordained
In April came the feast
Which was not the least
or all our joys.
The end Of the year found ii, all in good ehee
In numbers eighty, resting in safety.
Bro kiucaid next did preside,
In him we did conhdc,
Twice he was elected is we all expected.
Now we come 10 year the fourth,
In this was choscn r. H. Bosworth.
On the records can tell
1ha, many years he served us we'll.
The next Master brought to view
Was L. G. Jcwctt tried and true.
Next we come to w. q. Paul,
man well known to us all.
Ia eighty six, 50 they say,
Bro Stevens he held sway,
And this | know to he Il fact
That Bro. Sterling wa, the next to act
And while he rrigued the Grange it gained
Your Master for the year to come
Is one who will do his part
II you are with him, hand and heart.
Now let Bro. Bosworth see
That with him we all agree
As from time to time meet
And one another greet,
And in years to come may much good be dom
Let us remember those
Who have passed over to the other side;
