A .Durout., ON the Prairie.

To begin with, the habitation of the
homesteader LIS either dugout or q house
built OF squares Of sod taken from the
prairie Nebraska or Kansas brick, as
they are facetiously termed. The dugout
consistsKof hole dug In the side OF
canyon or any sort Of depression on the
prairie which will serve as wind break.
This hole Is rooted across, about OH o.
level with the prairie, with inch boards,
and these are covered with sod. A foot
or so Of stove pipe protruding from the
roof Is the sole indication OF human
habitation. One room generally serves all
the purposes Of the homesteader and his
family. If he prospers for season, he
adds to the front Of his abode by erecting
walls Of sod on the sides and putting in .
new front, the old one serving as parti-
ton between the two rooms. This Is
considered commodious dwelling. After
riding over the quarter section looking
for an owner, espying such an abode, and
guiding your team carefully down o

would it surprise you, upon entering this
hole In the ground, to find, for instance,
. yery modern organ with an imposing
cathedral back towering high In one cor
ner of the roomf But this is no cause for
astonishment--very frequently organs
and ornate designs In furniture are to be
found In the dugouts.

clubs, which the members ride all the
way from Eve to twenty miles to attend,
and where they discuss with great earn

cal problem to the most abstruse point In
metaphysics, are quite the regular thing
with our homesteaders. But to behold

Animals. Right Of Property.

A recent writer says: II have been ex-
ceedfngly interested as horticulturfst
and student of nature in observing the
recognition of the rights of property In
domestic animals. A hen viii not con-
cede grain Of corn as belonging to an
other, but the one robbed will manifest
Indignation; but a hen win recognize the
right Of another to the occupancy of q
nest, IL not thereby seriously discounted.
A cat makes no claim to possession until
her foot Is on the piece Of meat. After
possession, however, she asserts her posi-
tive rights, and heavier cats viii allow
the claim. Old cats will often allow
young ones to rob them, but they will not
allow older ones to do the same. A dog
not only claims bone while in possession,
but establishes his right to the same bone
when buried, and woe be to the dog that
opens the cache" This recognition OF
property rights Is seen everywhere in
lower life, although theft is common.

neighbor's stall. eating oats, and scold
him for It, his retreat Is made with marks
of shame" have seen the same mani
festation In q fowl-G Globe Democrat.

The Chicago Western Rural thinks
that "If civil service reform Is ever
brought about, 1t will be through the
school room; through a more practi-
cal education; through manual train
ing, by which every child and man
will be made self-supporting and en-
abled to make more money and make
it more easily than he can by holding
office. We shall then get rid of the
paupers In the public service, and
civil service will have nothing but
ambition to contend with, and that
will be less formidable because there
will not be so many bummers to do
its dirty work. Much Us we have
made OF education In this republic
we haveas yet had no conception
whatever of what education can do
for Us, and must do for us, il we are
to continue to be a prosperous nation.

An Unrepsntant Rebel.

When the Prohibition party, the
"only party which recognizes
God as the source of government"
placed in nomination DR.. John A.
Brooks, of Missouri, for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, it evident
ly did not know what it was doing,
or else the members of the conven-
ton went to work deliberately to
show their contempt for that senti-
ment of loyalty in the North which
saved the government from attacks of
Southern traitors; and also set to
work with a deliberate purpose to in
suit the loyal people Of the North
and. in so doing they took a step in adj
vance of anything that the Democrat
ic party has ever dared to do. The
Democratic party, although it is con-
trolled by the South, has never since
the war dared to place in nomina-
ton for President or Vice President
a man with az vile rebel record as
has this fellow Brooks.
In his recent speech in Chicago he
admitted that his sympathies were
with the South during the war, and
that he prayed for the destruction OF
the government. He also indirectly
admitted that he was too cowardly
to fight for the cause that he prayed
for, and only "went into the rebel
army to avoid being being throw in
to prison. sneaking rebel, who
gusrilla-like would crawl up in the
night and shoot Union soldiers while
pacing back and forth on their lonely
beat. This unrepentant rebel Brooks
made a speech at Decatur, Ill, recent
", which was devoted to abuse OF
the Republican party, and in which
he admitted that ne n al Les.. a rebel,
a slave owner, and ffre-eatirg Dem
ocrat, but he thanked God he had
never been Republicap He wouldn't
have that sin to answer for. No, and
the Republican party will nsver haye
to answer for the sin Of having in Its
ranks cowardly, sneakifig traitor
like this fellow John A. Brooks.
Amy Northern man who will vote
FOR such cowardly, sneaking traitor
would vote for Jefferson Davis, If by
so doing he could help to destroy the
Republican party and securely install
in power the Democratic party, in
whose interest Brooks and the other
demagogue third party leaders are
working
In his speech in Decatur the Rev.
Brooks exhorted Christian people to
vote az they pray, and asserted that II
the Democrats and Republicans dc
not join the ProAibitionists the devil
will get them sure. Twenty-Five years
ago the Rev. Brooks was working as
earnestly In the cause of human
slavery as he is now working for pro-
hibition, and he and hypocrites like
him were preaching and proclaiming
that human slavery was Divine in.
stitution. Out upon such nyprocrites
and demagogues.
There are good and true men In the
Prohibition party, men who hate
rebels and traitors to our government
Let those men insist that this man
Brooks shall be bounced from place
on their ticket, IL they desire to com
mand the respect Of the old soldiers
Of the Republic and the loyal people
OF thesland.

WAITING ron THE BuaLE.

We wait for the bugle; the night dews are cold,
The limbs Of the soldiers feel isded and old,
The field Of our bivouac Is windy and bare.
Thcre Is lead In our JOINTS there Is frost In our
hair. rs a.
The future Is yelled and its fortunes unknown
AS we lie with hushed breath till the bugle ID
At the sound Of that bugle each comrade shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain Of the
string: 's -+ -.--
The courage, the impulse Of youth shall come
back.
To Danish the chill Of the drear bivouac,
And sorrows and losses and cares fade away
When that life giving signal proclaims the new
day.
Though the bivouac Of age may put ice in our
veins,
And NO fiber Of steel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades Of yesterdays march are
not here.
And the sunlight seems pale and the branches are
scar
Though the sound Of our cheering dies down to .
moan.
We shall find our lost youth when the bugle is
blown.

It was seldom that he wrote before break

between the hours Of breakfast and

he regarded three Of his not very large

his writings, although they contained nu-

clearly made.-Willia Andrews In Homo

ton of Indiana and is well posted as
to the political situation In that state,
knowing personally all Of the prom.
inent politicians there. In reply to
the question: "How will Indiana go
In the presidential election?" he said
"Zou are perfectly safe in saying IN
your paper that Indiana will give
Gen. Harrison from $1,000 to 10000
majority, and will furnish from $10G
to 10000 to bet against like amount
that such will be the result Of the
election" Mr.. Traut 10 intimately
acquainted with Gen. Harrison and
Ex-Governor Porter, and he says
that the governor is one of the gener.
ais most ardent supporters and will
work heartily for his election. Mr.. T.
says that the Republicans of Indiana
are thoroughly organized in every
precinct in the state and all feel con.
fident of victory. ~

Cleveland, 244,s72; Blame. $685. s0;

ing that Of state treasurer, 3,053, and
the highest being that given for super.
