Work in Dakota.

Nearly every paper I have read late
" has an article about the brave little
girl Of Lake County, Dakota, who
plowed forty acres of ground. It was
a grand thing for a girl only twelve
years of age to do, but I think the fol-
lowing will discount it: @. NJ. Hutch
inson had charge of my farm in Deuel.
County, Dakota, in 1887, and his daugh-
ter Maud, only seven years old at the
time, drove a team and did her share
of the work in stacking over five hun
dred acres of hay and grain. We ran
from three to five teams every day,
and she would drive load to the stack.
change teams, drive back to the field
and change teams, driving a different
team every time. Some of the teams
were not very gentle, but she managed
them as we'll as any Of the men. At
one time while hauling hay the load
slipped off, throwing her under it.
She crawIed out, overlook the team,
caught the lines that were dragging on
the ground, turned the team around,
drove back to the hay on the ground,
unhitched the team, took one of the
horses and rode back to the field, got
help to come and load the hay and
drove to the barn as though nothing
had happened. If you can find a girl
seven years old that has displayed more
sand and good horse sense than she did
on this occasion, L VIII throw up the
sponge Pioneer Press.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
III If!

If every boy and every girl,
Arising with the sun,
Should plan this day to do alone
The good deeds to be done
Should scatter smiles and kindly words
Strong, helpful hands should lend,
And to each others wants and cries
Attentive ears should lend
If every man, and woman, too,
Should Join these workers small
Oh. what a Hood OF happiness
Upon our earth would fall
How many homes would sunny be,
Which now are filed with car9l
And joyous, smiling faces, too,
Would greet us everywhere.
/ do believe the very sun
Would shine more clear and bright,
And every little twinkling star
Would shed q softer light.
But we, instead, must watch to see
If other folks are true,
And thus neglect so much that God
Intends for US to do.

Cbauncey NJ Depew was az Yale the other DAY,
and II wasn't long before the New-Haven conegisns

In moment the object Of all this attention appeared
on campus, in front of Durfee Hall. where sub
stlmte fence has been provided since the old
fence" was split up into kindng wood and memen'
toes.
The boys knew that the speech would be such an
mpromptu speech as only Mr.. Depew could give.
and listened with eager interest TO what he had TO
say. And he didn't dSappont them. either. TAX

the boys the story Of HIS experience at a commence

schoomaes was president, Nh. Depew had been invited
10 deliver an address 10 the graduating class but
no topic had been assigned 10 him. and so he had
prepared no speech. lie arrived late at the college
