The item clipped from the Elk
Point Blizzard last week headed
complimentary" is a fair sample Of
the dirty filings. the editor Of that
sheet has beer publishing about the
editor of the COURIER. We have
heretofore RETAINED entirely from
noticing his idiotic offerings, and
we do not desire now to enter into
any defence of our character, which
he has repeatedly assailed, as it is
proof against the drivelings Of such
an egotistical numskull. He is not
only devoid of brains but of COM
mon decency, and his character is
not above suspicion. The noodle is
too ignorant to know that his paper
is now and has been ever since he
has been connected with it, the
laughing-stock of the community,
owing to the fact that he is not cap
able Of writing a three word SEN
tence correctly. 1t is of public no.
toriety that he takes his dictionary
and uses strings Of high sounding
words that he does not seem to
have the least conception of their
meaning, and f~atters himself that
he is a great and profound writer.
We have heard the remark made
that "the Blizzard was a burning
shame and a disgrace to this intelli-
gent community" In the begin
ming of this article we called him
"editor" but it is a SANDER upon the
profession to call him such. He
thinks because he wears q Prince
Albert broadcloth coat and a silk
plug hat that he is n man and has
the supreme affrontery to try to
palm himself OFF upon an intelligent
community as such. He is the YER
lest coxcomb and ninny, and if he
had a thimble-ful of brains, he
would "see himself as others see
him."

HENRY SHAW.

Speaking OF the last days of the late
Henry shaw the st. Louis Post Dispatch
says: II as the pleasure of his latter
days to keep the records of the men
who worked in the botanical garden
and in Tower Grove park. Strictly
and with care he attended to them, and
up to the last the men knew Mr.. shaw
as the one to whom they looked. His
accounts at the bank he gave up,
and his visits TO the Boalman's bank
have, within the last two years, been
always a subject of comment on Second
street. lie would drive 10 The bank
with bis faithful attendant, and, refus
ing all assistance, climb the stairs to
the bank and walk with only the aid OF
a cane into the private office, where
he was received by MIR. Lakeland and
Mr.. Thompson. Busy men as they arr
Mr.. Shaw could always command their
time, and his visits were always wei
coined as an interesting i~nterruptio"
of the cares and dull routine OF business
life. Leaving the bank he would drive
10 his house on Seventh street, where
he would rest Tor awhile before going
to his home ard the house where
died, in Shaw's Garden. But aside
from these light duties his later years
have been given up almost completcll
to reading.

FACTS FOR BOYS.
From the Youths Companion.l

The chief official in a railway Office
in one of our largest seaboard cities
recently advertised for a clerk at a sal
ary of $50 a month. He received over
500 answers TO his application, the
large majority OF which were from
married men, the graduates OF colleges,
sons, in many cases, OF wO"kingmeD.
hut young men whose dress, habits and
tastes were those of the wealthy ana
Ieisurely class.
At the same time, in the same city,
''boss" builders were advertising in
vain for carpenters, masons and paint
,rs, to finish work for which they had
contracted. These workmen, when
found, were paid from S3 to 81 a day.
Even the skilled cooks, chefs in the
lotels and wealthy private families OF
the same town, were paid 300 a month
These are significant facts, worthy
The attention of such boys among the
'eaders of the Companion as have not
vet chosen their profession OF trade in
life.
What do they proven
Not that the work of a nan with an
educated brain is less valuable and
more poorly paid in this country than
that of one with skilled fingers, but
that the market is overstocked with the
irst class of laborers and not supplied
with the last.
The chief reason of this is, as we all
know, the action of the trades unions
in barring out apprentices from their
| shops. The great industrial schools
which nave been or are about to be,
established in most of Il large cities
will soon, it is hoped, remove this
difficulty.
But the second difficulty will not be
30 easily disposed OF. 1t is the silly
| prejudice among boys against labor
| With their hands as being ''ungentecl."
The clerk who copies letters for 81 a
lay, with no possibility of rising to
| higher work, is nearer their ideas OF
"a gentleman" than the mechanic who
designs and originates work, who COLI
rols other men, and for whom a wide
path to usefulness and success is al
ways open, or the farmer Or ranchman
whose work demands all the forces OF
lis mind and body. and brings hin
INTO contact with nature and his fellow
men.
Among more thoughtful people this
silly prejudice against manual labor il
fast disappearing. Hundreds of thor,
oughly educated men are now herding
sheep or growing wheat in Texas OF
Dakota. The sons of presidents
bishops and the foremost professional
men in the country, having finished
their college course, are now working
at iorges or in Uines, side by side witt
day laborers, fitting themselves TO bt
practical electricians and mining anC
mechanical engineers.
1t will be long, we fear, however
before all tie boys of republican Amer
ica recognize the fact that ii is not hi
occupation which gives a man bis tru'
place in life, but something tor which
The occupation is but al outer garment
The real nObleman is never denied
his rank, 10 matter how coarse hi

Why did my father fail? Because
the war fluctuations in prices of farm
products had steadily fallen of, the
bear was chasing the bull down the
