THE DOCTORS WIFE.
At the Mercy of the Gratitude OF Her Hus
bands Patients.

Most persons suffer occasionally
from the kindness of their friends"
said a physicians wife to the New York
''but the person who really needs to
pray to be saved from it is q doctors
wife. She is SO at the mercy of the
gratitude of her husbands patients,
and that gratitude does take such gro
tesque ways Of demonstrating itself.
My earliest and hardest experience as q
victim in this way occurred when we
were first married. We were settled
in a small town and had just fitted
up the dearest little cottage home you
ever saw, into every detail of which
in coloring, draping, and furnishing
l had put my whole soul and whatever
artistic instinct I had been endowed
with.
Zone of the first persons to call on
US in our new home was a patient of
my husband, a rich and d~isagreeable
and hideously ugly old woman, who i'm
agined herself to be the victim of every
disease she could hear of, and who
was, in consequence, the source of a
good round income to us.
when she rose to leave she said,
looking about my little parlors: MY
dear, your rooms are charming, but /
see n thing they need, and l shall
have that made for you at once.' W.
were in a state of delighted anticipa-
ton stimulated from time to time by
hints of our benefactor. 1t will cost
a great deal Of money she would say,
but it will be worth it, I am sure.'
":One day it came, a great. flat pack
age. which we opened as quickly as we
could. There. set in a huge gilt frame,
done in the brightest possible oils, was
a ife-size portrait of the old woman
that was, if possible, an e~xaggeration
in ugliness of what nature had done for
her. 1t was the work of q local artist,
and was Just the most unspeakably hid.
eous product of paint and inability that
l ever saw.
I'm five minutes after the arrival Of
the portrait cane the wheeling original
to superintend its hanging, and no.
where in the room could it 20 but in
the conspicuous place where my most
cherished etching hung. There was
no help for it. We couldn't afford to
ALLEVIATE the affections of a thousand 8
year, aud up it went. It staid there
five years to spoil my pretty parlor
and bias my temper, and the first thing
l did after the old soul died and was
decently inferred was to cut the canvas

Editor UNIoN.]-There is a very aged
chestnut which men of all classes and
conditions opposed to the independent
movement perpetrate with great
satisfaction to themselves, whenever
opportunity offers, viz, "If you farmers
Tor kickers) would leave politics alone
and attend to your own business you
would be a great deal better off," Well,
gentlemen, VIC have no business to at
tend to this year worth speaking OF, SO
to keep us agoing, as it were, we will take
a hand in politics, with your leave, ifyou
please, without if you choose. Have
not the farmers and mechanics Of the
United States strictly attended to their
own business for the last twenty-five
years? Did not the boys in blue, and
the boys in gray, after the terrible con-
hict ended. go back to the farm and the
workshops from whence they came and
industriously 60 to work repairing the
shattered fortunes OF both sections, and
have not the toilers and wealth produc-
ers left politics in the control OF the
stayers-at-home, in the hands Of the
men, who, while the bloodiest battles
were being fought, figured on what effect
victory to either side would have on
bonds and provisions? Did not these
men when the Union was in the throes
OF a life Or death struggle lay thefounda-
ton of the colossal, individual fortunes
OF to day? And pray, 1T whose expense
have those fortunes been builded, if not
at the expense OF the wealth producers,
the stayers-at-home, leaving politics
alone class? Who is to blame? Notthe
nlillionaires, they but took advantage
of our criminal neglect Of our own
! affairs, which is human nature. We are
to blame for letting them, that's all.
We are to blame for letting a small "ring"
select our lawmakers, and for being
duped into electing them. And further,
we are a set OF fools when we expect
those men to vote for our interests
against the mems whose servants they
are. Do the farmers or laboring men
of this age for a moment believe that
any monopoly, corporation or class of
men will spend hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars to get their tool attorney or
champion elected to congress solely for
the benefit OF the farmer or laboring
man? Oh, no! They are not built that
way. And besides a man would be a
traitor to his patrons that would do So.
If the 1900 laborers in these United
States want men to champion their
cause, they will have to select and elect
them themselves. INDEPENDENT.

Song of the politician, "I've got a call
and I must go; because my call is q pulling
me so."-Chamberlain Tribune.
LABOR,s NINETY AND Nj

LABOR'S NINETY AND NINE.
There are ninety and nine that live and die,
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may revel In luxury,
And be wrapped in its silken fold;
The ninety and rhine in their novels bare,
The ene IN his palace with riches rare.
They toll in the fields, the ninety and nine.
For the fruits of our mother earth;
They dig mi delve in the dusky mine.
And bring its rich treasures forth;
But the wealth released by their steady blows,
TO the hands of the one forever flows.
BY the sweat OF their brow the desert blooms,
INC the forest before them falls;
Their labor has bu,lde humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls;
But the one OWNS cities and homes andlands
While the ninety and nine have empty hands
The night so dreary, so dark, SO long,
At last shall the morning bring;
And over the land the victor's song
OF the ninety and mine shall ring,
And echo affair, from zone to zone,
Rejoice, for labor shall ave its own.

GOT HIS PANTS.

Saturday night Sheriff Souter, Of Sturgis,
was awakened by his wife, who informed
him that some one was in tie room. On
looking he saw a man crawling on his
hands and knees, and on asking him what
the "old Harry" lie wanted the man
replied by grabbing souter's pants and
making for the door. Souter jumped out
of bed and gave chase without waiting to
dress. The nan led off oyer the hill.
through briar and bramble, but was over
hauled and returned to the house. While
the Sheriff dressed his wife held up the
wouldbe burglar with q shotgun. He was
jailed and Souter returned home to dress
the scratches he received while running
through the brush en- dishabille. He got

The threshing has been done on the

HEED THEIR DEMAND.

It is a time Of unrest. The irrepressible
conflict of the present day has the farmer
behind it, the yeomanry of the country,
the horny-handed sons of toll who uphold
the palladium of liberty and fight the ma
ture battles when CORY war is abroad in the
land! They are beginning to think for
themselves, and are banding together, are
lifting up their voices and having some
thing to say on national affairs as we'll as
on growing grain and feeding hogs. ALI

Of the good things of the nation. 1t will

The circular letter of Land Commits
sioner Croft calls the attention vi the
land Office to the act OF 1888, by which,
under the recent survey, all lands west
OF the Missouri river are within the arid
land belt and not subject to settlement.
All filings made subsequent to the act OF
1888 are open to cancellation. Filings
will still be received, but at the risk OF
the party filing. That portion OF the re-
port OF the survey which applies to this

Pierre has been holding the vote in thu

Pierre has been holding the vote in the
Black Hills to her interests almost who'll
ly on the promises she has made Of
early, direct, shortcut, rail connection.
For ne,.rly ten years has she harped on
that chord and sung in that key, We
are this year again listening to the same
music. But what does it avail? There
is not one whit more prospect today Of
any connec sion direct with Pierre by
rail, than there was five years ago. In
deed, tangible evidence is NJ longer want
inggoingt to show that from either Cham
berlain or Forest City will come the first
locomotive that enters the Hills region
from the Missouri. 8
1t is beginning to be seen very plainly.
that the Black Hills people cannot af-
ford longer to remain tied to Pierre's
capital and railroad kite. The deepest
students of the problem OF the welfare OF
the Hills now begin to see that no neces-
sity exists for the e. & N. w. to bridge
the expensive pass over the Missouri at
Pierre, when " better and cheaper one
can be constructed at Forest City. It
is now believed that the Black Hills
people will do more to enhance their
own interests by bending their energies
as much as possible toward inducing
the Milwaukee to push their line west
from Chamberlain, than by any other
effort they can make. This accom-
plished, by parity of reasoning. as
events are now trending, the C. & N. w.
will be pushed into constructing their
line from Forest City up the valley OF
the Cheyenne, They must do this to
hold the cattle and other stock trade OF
the late reservation. Pierre's capital
candidacy evidently cuts no figure in the
laying out of the railway system west OF
the Missouri, any more than it does
east Of it. Nearly a decade OF exper-
fence proves this to be true, and the
Black Hills people cannot afford to
await fulfillment OF promises at Pierre's
hands another ten years. Such. is the
sentiment now daily growing stronger,
and we believe it to be well grounded

AS sly as you keep it, Pierre is as foxy
as Reynard ever was. She endeavors to
warp and twist the Aberdeen bond vote
around sc as to make it appear that it
is for her paper line from Aberdeen to
Pierre, when the truth is those bonds
weretvoted to aid and induce the build
ing OF the long contemplated Northern
Pacific extension from Cakes to Aber-
deem. AS a grand boost for Aberdeen
its construction will be immense, but it
is no more connected with Pierre'spaper
plans than the New York Central is with

pay Tor throwing a shovelful of dirt, nor
