She Couldn't Give Christmas Away


Grandma was giving the children q lit
tie lecture full of sweetness, just before
Christmas:
Don't let it be g time for thinking OF
your own pleasure, dears," she said.
Think of others. Don't wonder what
you will have for presents. but give ali
you can to somebody more in need than
you. Give your time, your love, your
handiwork--give everything for the sake
of this blessed season."
The little faces were very sober and
thoughtful for a moment; then q mis-
chievons smile flashed over Allegra's
face.

to give away most everything. bu'
there's just one thing l must keep"

old lady, while the others who meant Il

A Sleek Director.

A t.w months ago II director in a
New England country bank asked the
cashier for his tin box. which he had
placed in the bank vault for safe keep
ing. A box was handle! out and in it
was placed $4,000 of bonds in an
envelope. duly marked with name and
address, aud the box was passed back
to the cashier for safe keeping. After
- few days the same director called for
his box again, and after locking it
over missed the bonds he had lately de-
posted. Being near sighted and for
gc,ful, he thought he might perhaps
nave mislaid them, and after hunting
every where for months, gave mp the
search and applied to the railroad
company for the issue of duplicate
bonds. Just rs arrangements were
about made for the issue of the dupli-
cate bonds Il fcllow-director, hearing
of il, asked him what he would give
for his bonds and no questions asked.
'Onc hundred dollars was the reply.
"'Wcil," said he .'I'l see what can do.

In a few days he told the director who
had lost the bonds to call at his house
and Get them, which he did on the
payment of 500. After 4 few days
director No. / was rather sorry he had
parted with his 800, and after waiting

hear Gladstone, on the 26th of last
month, the report OF which is just
placed before us:
LONDON, Oct. 26.-Mr. Gladstone
made an address at Chester TO-DAY
on the condition of the working
classes. He contrasted the English
workman's position to-day with
that OF SO years ago, showing that
during the last half century there
has been an increase OF SO per cent in
wages, while the cheap food and
clothing now obtainable are better
than heretofore. In conclusion he
urged English workmen to study the
history OF the American revolution.
He claimed that it was by and from
this country that love of freedom
was sown in America. England now
IN return reaped advantages from
the American vindication of those
principles of freedom which animated
the revolution.

That was tough joke on Thacker,
of Pope county, last winter. The

He carried passes on Washburn' s
road. (He voted for Wash). 1t
would have taken him four or five
hours to dead head it home on the
day of the vote, and he was awful
sick that day. We heard he was
sick, and empty was his cradle in the
senate chamber. But he didn't go
home on the Washburn road, and a
little bird came and whispered: ''He
will go out on the Northern Pacific. -
We didn't believe this, for we could
not believe that $4,000 was laid out
for Pope County-(and poor Cox,
''Baby Cox" as he was called, GER
tainly didn't get any. However,
we took the p. M n +. train out OF
town, and stopped at a little country
hotel in Little Falls-at midnight.
About o'clock a. m. we "riz," put
on one of our ''I'm-your-dreadful

"Johnny-get-the-hot-drops" look on
his mouth-1O7 miles from the CAPT.

his usual 'two-for-a-quarter- -of-a-dolr

editor of the Transcript, to see the
Senator there! Cad, Fuller would

No, it wouldn't 'do-Fuller was too
vicious lengthwise like the flea. So
we got our friend, the editor of the
Herald, the new democratic paper
who did the Lord Chesterfield up like
a bronzed image! But Geo. was
awful nervous while that democratic
editor was talking to him. The fact
was, Geo. was sick-but not one-half
so bilious as the people who sent him
to ST. Paul to do his duty.

TINE MARKETS.

England, by reasonable estimates will require
,00O, 900 quarters OF wheat this winter CA quar-
ter is eight bushels.) Other counties of Europe
will require 10000 quarters India will furnish
900 quarters, and Russia 11,OOO,O 900, The
United States will furnish 15,OOO 900 qrs., 12O
1000 bushels. This is an extraordinary demand
from this country, and by every law OF trade so
strenuously urged to depress wheat in other
years, ought to raise wheat (northern wheat)
to 81 10 or $1.2O bushel Does it do it, No.
May deliveries at Minneapolis quoted-No.
hard, S31a No. l Northern 81
We republish the following from the Prairie
Farmer-whch is not to old to be of use now
because if this fact land we know it is) it should
have affected the markets long ago. The truth
is there is no other supply and demand" except
the dog-fght at Chicago between the bulls and
bears where the big lion eats up the Kangaroo,
and the devil takes the hindmost.
| The State Department at Washing
| ton has received advice from the Con-
sui at Mayence which states that
European grain-crops have not
turned out satisfactorily, and the
United States is looked to to make up
the deficiency. This is confirmed by
reports from the international grain
market at Vienna, which meets every
year for the purpose of furnishing re-
liable and disinterested reports OF
grain-crops of the year. The aver
age wheat crop of Europe annually
from 1881 to 1886 is l, ,211 ,O72, 1872 bush
els. In 1888 the crop amounted to l.
AO $40 1925 bushels. This year is esti-
mated to be about Is per cent less.
The average in wheat for all Europe
is 81 this year compared to SO in 1888,
and 10 in 1887.
This is the line as previously stat
ed in The Prairie Farmer The
wheat crop of the world is short
When the bulk of the wheat crop
is out of the hands of farmers, prices
will jump. They are already advanc.
ing steadily.

Gladstone Sustains the Statement.

Gladstone SuStalnS the Statement
The following question was con-
tanned in a letter from Pipe Stone
Co..
"You say strikes have secured all
the benefits ever derived from any
source to labor. I do not disbelieve
you, but could you not give some
facts for such a remarkable state
ment."
Yes sir, but will be glad to quote
the opinion of ''The Grand Old
Man, received since that article was
published. Every one knows of
the terrible warfare of strikes
through the work of "Tradesunions, -
and that through losses and suffer
ing produced by strikes, the present
status of labor was secured. Now

Success as a Mustard Plaster.

Redwood Gazette:
AS mustard plaster on the body
polite, to keep it in a state of irrita-
ton and bring evil humors to the
surface, Mr.. DOnnelly is all right, but
as law-maker and statesman, good
Lord deliver us from such.
Certainly-the object of the typical
'law-maker and statesman" is to
keep the evil humors inside the body
polite and prevent them from COM
ing to the surface, until the victim
dies. Mr.. Donnelly is not that kind
of claw maker and statesman he
believes the right thing to do is to get
the VIRUS out OF the system; and
naturally enough the Virus is oppos-
ed to him.

Court will read the item which we
quote in another column, from the
Pioneer Press, showing that the

thern Minnesota and will then re-
consider their decision that while a
man cannot commit the usury him.
self he can through an agent. That
decision practically repealed the ex-
cellent usury law which has stood on
our statute book for ten years, and
left poverty at the mercy of inordi-
nate greed.

1t will not be long before that
hldeous monstrosity, a Company
Elevator, will be a thing OF the past,
it's rickety ghosts casting shadows
athwart the depot tracks in which
owls, bats, and old memories fit in
glamorous g1ee.
The Company Elevator, with it's
deaths head and cross-bones in the
gable, reminds us of farmers who sell
butter at 12c, per pound at the
corner grocery-when the commits
sion dealer will pay 20 and 25c., if
shipped direct.
What the d ii theUnited States

wants of a middle man to ship his

the next century will be scarcely
credited!

When the legislature assemblies
there will doubtless be an immense
granger representation from the coun-
try. The mOnOpolist has an almost
sure reliance in their effort to main
tain themselves and destroy the
moral effect of a farmers legislature.
They look for SO many differing
views as to what is wanted to remedy
evils, that there will not only be
"splits," but by means of them they
hope to continue masters of the field.
1t is altogether likely that the COM
ing meeting of the State Alliance will
be the largest ever held in the state.
At that meeting, year before the
legislature meets, committees could
be appointed to look up the matter
of required legislation Most of the
differences would be on the matter of
grain shipping and inspection.
Now our personal opinion is that
the general subject of grain inspec-
ton better be dealt with, but with
an extraordinary care. The whole
mOnstrous fraud should be assaulted
in a point where there is no practical
division of sentiment, viz: the con-
troll of the railroad and it's warehous-
ing.
The watering of stock and bonds;
the requirement that rates shall only
meet operating expenses and inter-
est on the cost; the absolute freedom
OF shipments; the right of indepen-
dent warehouses to sidetrack; the
making of all contracts between ele-
vators and railroads void, after a
certain date; the putting OF the re-
newal of such contracts among GRIM
inal offences; fixing a maximum ton
mile rate for freightage based upon
actual cost of road-and other vital
issues would doubtless come up.
Let there be an absolute dictum
upon the part of the state-that the
State will control the railroads.
