Editors are the kindest-hearted men
in the world. A subscriber to a GER
tain Dakota paper died few days ago
leaving fourteen years subscription un-
paid. The editor appeared at the grave
when the lid was being screwed on for
the last time and put into the coffin a
palm-leaf fan, thermometer, and
receipt for making artificial ice.
Among the privileges granted to the
American citizen by the constitution
of the United States are two which
even the wicked democratic admins
tration can not take away from the
Dakota settler. These are to stop his
newspaper when he gets mad at the
editor, and to take his children out of
school to spite the teacher. Old maids
and bachelors can never enjoy the latter
privilege, and those who do not sub
scribe for the paper can never KIN ow
the satisfaction of the former.-Ex.

that along the Northwestern road in
Dakota the acreage is slightly less than
last year. but it is claimed that along

ed. Flax for August is selling in
Chicago very low just now, but Mr..
Archer advises all flax ralsers to hold
seed as long as possible, and get advan-
tage of a raise in prices. The Yankton
mills are preparing for a large business
