The Verdict Unanimous

It pleases the lawyer, and his client
too to have the verdict of the jury
unanimous. for it is good for nothing
unless all the "twelve men, good and
true," join in it. A great jury, COM
posed of the American travelling pub
lie. has rendered a unanimous verdict
on The Burlington" as railroad.
agreeing that its promises of fast
time, sure connections, and firstclass
accommodations are always carried
out to the letter. This pleasant YER
dict has not beeh obtained without
great pains taken to build the best
kind of road, equip it in an elegant
manner. secure competent and polite
employees, and run it In "a style.
Try buying tickets over ''The Bur-
lington' for your next journey, and
you will belong to the unanimous
ever after. For further information
apply to your local ticket agent, OF

Diversified Farming Necessary.

Discussion of the above subject is
to the average farmer becoming rather
stale, chestnuty. True it is that
many farmer has been taught the
desirability of diversified farming by
that best of of all nstructors-actual
experience. Say they, and truth
fully, that diversity of farming, of
which the average agricultural editor
loves to talk and draw splendid pen
pictures, is not reached in day, nor
in a year, by the average farmer. 1t
takes time. and, as rule, those farm
ers who have not already reached the
point, and who are rot so situated
that they can make farming pay the
greatest possible profit. are trying
their level best to reach that station.
Generally, in the Northwest at least,
they are advancing rapidly. 1t is all
very well for railroad magnateS to
talk to the st. Paul chamber of COM
merce on the mistakenly Of farmers
and for that body to appoint commit
tees for their instruction, Gas has
been recently donerbut it is not likely
chat such committee will find many
willing pupils in the farming class.
Certainly the number of those who
are not willing and anxious to learn
the better ways Of conducting their
affairs is exceedingly small, but, with
all respect for those good people, they
feel that practical experience and in.
telligent personal observation, cou-
pied with the industrious pursuit of
their occupation, is all that is neces-
sarY to success; that to them the adj
vice, or whatever it may be called, of
railroad magnates and merchant
princes who have never held a pillow
nor planted hill of corn. is not of
much value in the Management OF the
important branches Of agriculture.
Let those men give their attention to
matters Of which they know more
and are better qualified 10 act and
upon which they might work with
good results for their beloved farmer
brethern- such as railroad rates, the
grading system etc-and the agri-
cuIturists Of the Northwest will ap-
preciate their efforts the more.

The stacking is now nearly com
pleted and the hnm'of many threshers
are to be heard in the country,
several farmers having already
finished their threshing and a few
marketed all their grain. The re.
turns in some instances are not up 10
expectations. The yield is lighter
and the grade poorer than was cal.
culated upon. The effect of the very
bad weather Immediately before
harvest is now seen upon the grain
in the sbrunken condition of great
portion of it. However, the greatest
damage is noticeable in the richest
crops; that done to the lighter crops
by rain being Insignificant. Farmers
were never blessed with more favor.

These are only few of the incidents of

was recaptured after this last exploit and
served three years in thep ententiary there,
where he introduced his invention. 1t is
still III use, and is pronounced by prison ex-
perts absolutely perfect. After serving out
his time he went to St Adams, VT. where
he was arrested by State Detective Jackson
as an escaped convict. At Troy, after mid
night, In the railway station, jackson and
he were alone together waiting for the train

! other lodged near the base of the brain,
where it still remains. He was taken to
Sing Sing unconscious, but his iron consti-
tuition enabled him to recover and he is
now as well as ever. His lever lock is
patented, and he wishes to sell his rights
He has made other inventions since, which
he claims are vastly more valuable and to
which he will devote his time when he is
| free.
Here is an interesting subject for study
an expert mechanic, sober and industrious,
| capable of earning a good living anywhere,
yet following q career which has practically
kept him in prison for eighteen years; a
notable inventor expanding most of his in
genuity upon burglars tools; genius who,
after years Of penal servitude, is about to
come before the world as a solver of some
great mechanical riddle which will make
him both fortune and fame, having taken
all the best of his life to learn that the way
of the transgressor is hard.
