A narrative so full of picturesque incident reader along as by a charm and fascina- tion. A history so pregnant with pure thought and high endeavor should awaken the sympathy and arouse the ambition of the most sluggish. A freedom which has cost so much sweat of brain and blood, so much treasure of money and life, should grow inexpressibly precious.

The Northern Pacific railroad an- nounces series of five special Harvest Excursions from St. Paul, Minneapo- lis, Duluth and Ashland to principal points in Minnesota, Dakota and Mon- tana during August, September and October. Parties contemplating trip for pleasure, business, or with view of selecting new home can avail themselves of rates lower than ever before announced to visit the wonder ful country tributary to the Northern Pacific railroad.

 Connecting lines east and south ot St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth will sell tickets in connection with these excursions at one fare for the round trip.
 The dates named will be very op- perfume time to visit the wheat fields of Minnesota and North Dakota: also to see the cattle ranges of Montana.

THEN WE ARE DEAD.

..It ia not death. that sometimes in a sigh This eloquent breath shall take US speech less flight;
 That sometimes these bright stars that now reply .. In sunlight to the sun, shall set in night; That this warm, conscious flesh shall perlsn quite, And all life's ruddy springs forget 10 now That thought shall cease, and the immortal 'spright , Be Tapped Tn alien clay, and laid below: It is not death to know thisl but to know That pious thoughts which visit at new graves
 In tender pilgrimage, will cease to go So duly and so oft; and when grass waves Over the pastaway, there may be then No resurrection Tn the minds of men,"

A Cultured Waiter.

Fred H. Carruth, in the New York Tribune, gives some amusing experi- ences with cultured waiter, from which we extract the following:
 The person who thinks he can live on any less good, substantial food when he has his chair adjusted for him at each meal by a polite waiter than when he doesn't also makes a mistake. We boarded at hotel last week where the waiter would slide the whole length of long dining room to ad- just my chair for me, but it didn't ease the bangs of hunger felt while waiting an hour or so for him to return with my order. I can adjust my own chair quite satisfactorily to myself when sit down to 8 table. It may not suit a head-waiter who never takes off his swallow-tail coat even when he goes to bed, but am quite we'll contented. A man like head weater, of course, on whom nature be- slowed the dignity of the full bench of the supreme court, may detect flaws in the way l adjust my chair, but my way suits me. If hotel waiter will put the time he spends in adjusting my chair and polishing an already spotless plate with napkin into promoting the rapid transit of the bread and mashed potatoes to my neighborhood I will be better pleased.
 The last waiter I encountered said he was a student in leading New England college, when in private life. I asked him if he was taking Greek and he said he was, and went on to tell me something about nouns and verbs in the Greek language. was interested, of course, and asked several questions about them. He made the subject quite clear, and when he paused I asked him why he didn't have nouns and verbs in the English language. He gave me long, pierc- ing look, and I saw a shadow as of pain pass over his young face. He found his voice subsequently, and spoke to me quite earnestly for some little length ot time on the subject of English nouns and verbs. 1 found that we did have them in our lan- guage already. He said I was using them right along, and mentioned propositions and adjectives and a whole lot of other things whose names have escaped me. I said that if nouns and verbs were already at large in the language, that that knocked my first intention of introducing them into our speech and making big thing out of it. He gave me another pained look and said it did. I heard him tell ing another fellow traveller along the thorny path of knowledge about me. He got behind a column and held his hand up to his mouth and said there was one of those rich fellows over there who didn't know anything. Probably that fellow, he said, could draw his check for million or two any day, but his education had been neglected. He didn't know the first thing about the rhdiments of the Eng fish grammar. And worse than that, he had asked foolish questions about Greek. It was surprising how a man with my defective education could go on and pile up money. If he was a millionaire he rather thought he would go to night school while if he didn't do anything else.

Arkansaw Jute.

It is 8 fact not generally known, but in many sections of Arkansas there is wild plant known as the jute plant. At the exposition last year Hon. J. E. Martin, of Faulkner county, sent in 8 specimen that meas- ured eight feet. It is possible that the plant may be cultivated with pro- fit. The Beebe Hub gives the follow ing concerning the plant:
 An indigenous fibrous plant. Grows spontaneously. A perennial root and an annual stalk. Grows perpetually without protection, or labor on any lands where cotton grows in Arkan- sas. The stalks are four or five feet high; they blossom and seed annually like the hollyhock. A cousin to the althea and marsh mallow.
 We are indebted to Col. W. B. Clarke, of our town, for the foregoing description of the Arkansaw jute, grown by him this year on his fruit farm. He has left with us specimens of the plant, routed and prepared as it should be for the market. From this COttOu- DdS S HE OA tAlo OCeO 4uoAA0y Noh be manufactured. It can be grown without labor or cost. Wake ye up and try it.
 Much is being said about the bag ging trust. Stirring articles and resolutions are coming up from our labor organizations and merchant ex- changes of the south, breathing the spirit of war against these combina- tions of capital. Many suggestions are being made as to how these trusts can be destroyed. The raw material can be produced here 80 cheaply and abundantly that nothing can corner it. Let the south manufacture her own bagging from home grown jute, and trusts will dissolve like the mists of morn. This jute plant grows as thick as weeds and will not fail. It can, at little or no expense, be prepared for the factory.

there can't be any ''rush'' between

Of a football. The president saw it
from the library window and he rushed
out and into the thickest Of the fray,
Jerking and tugging at the fighting
students and shouting at them to stop.
The boys on such occasions are always
ready to encourage true merit, so they
yelled $50 in, Prex!' ''Get onto your

was nearly exhausted with the eXer-

over one eye.
When a lot Of eager and sineWy stu
dents get struggling over q football 1t
