An Instructive Bird.

A suburban family have a canary which
has been a cherished inmate of their house
hold for fifteen years. The old bird has
been completely paralyzed as to one leg
and one wing, and holds his poor withered
leg close up to his body, but he would hop
about cheerfully enough on the other leg
if it were not for the fact that he has be-
come totally blind with age. Not ray
Of light can he see, and he has to summon
the family when he wants to mount his
perch, and he does not hesitate to summon
them on such occasions by a call that they
have no difficulty in understanding.
But this decrepit old canary has one
trait which commends him more than
ever TO the affection Of the family. When
ever the sun comes out and the bright
light strikes his cage he bursts forth into
a song as joyous and musical as any that
a canary ever sung. Some CLEAN Of the
brightness penetrates the film over his old
eyes, and he pOurs out the torrent of his
vocal rejoicing as if he could see far out
over the fields illuminated with the sun
light His cheerfulness amid tremendous
Encouragement has been an example Of
bravery that has carried more than one
human being through seasons Of trouble
and dependency Transcript

As hurriedly along the crowded street
pushed my way, womau's awful face
Confronted me, and darkened all the place
Wherein we walked; then faithful memory ie6s
Rushed back into the dusSy past TO meet
Great Dante's creatures-alI that direful race
OF piteous souls that trayersed Hell's wide spScs
And vainly battled with the woes that beat
Against the naked spirit. And thought:
This woman'S face to some lost soul belongs,
Escaped from its dark prison, and distraught;
And now it glideS among the eager throngs
To clutch their souls with terror and restrain
Their feet from Turing ways that lead TO pain.

the dairy business in Richland

taken from his books making a COM

business done with each farmer,
separately. It was noticed that the
creamery opened in April with 80
patrons, and followed May 1853,
June 241, July 135, August 80, Sep
tember "a, and October 9, and in
following the long list we noticed
a few of the more successful patrons,

Lyman Il. Casey, Senator.

Monday evening. Mr.. Casey has
been a resident Of North Dakota
some eight years, having had charge
of a large farm near Jamestown, in
which we believe he has an interest.

that he is very good man for the

Johnson 26 and Marratta 4. "Far.
