ITs AccoRDING.-"J b." of Boston,
writes to inquire if an educated and cul-
tured man could find such society here
as would help him to feel at home.
That's according. If you come with
your neighbor's wifo-if you come to
keep out of the way of the sheriff.
you leave your right name in Boston and
come out here to take another, you will
find society which will fit you like an
old shoe. But if you are straight man
and calculate to call at the post-otiico by
daylight for your mail, and you intend
to be visible when the stage comes in,
you may be somewhat disappointed in
our people. We are warm-hearted, but
peculiar. If the boys didn't happen to
take to you it would cost your friends
quite bit to send for the remains.

A WORD ABOUT DIARIES.
Why Won't Men and Women BE Sincere
with Themselves?

Why Won't Mon and Women BE Sincere
with Themselves?
1t is the custom Of many persons to
purchase, at the close of each year,
"diaries," in which they propose to set
down their daily thoughts and acts-to
write, in fact, their own private his
tories in series of annual volumes.
AS these autobiogSaphical memoranda
are only intended for the eyes of the
parties who commit them to paper, it
might be thought that they would be
candid and authentic. But this is sell
dom the case. Few men are entirely
sincere, even with themselves. Few are
willing to paint themselves as they
really are and know themselves to be,
even though none but themselves can
contemplate the picture.
Unquestionably, hundred of indi-
viduals who keep diaries tell fibs, over
reach their neighbors. are guilty of de-
traction, repay good with evil, put an
enemy In their mouths to steal away
their brains, use profane language, and
in other way transgress the moral law.
Yet were all the diaries in existence
published tomorrow, no such entries as,
''to-day lied;" ''to-day / cheated in
business;" "to.day slandered;" "to-day
] was guilty of base ingratitude;" ito
night l staggered home tipsy;" "to-day
] blasphemed" would be found In any
one Of them. IN. Y. Ledger.

Nor RIGHT HERE.-"Peter g., of Mil
waukee, inquiries if there are any grizzly
bears here, and which is the best time
for an Eastern Nimrod to come out and
s.ay few dozen.
No, Peter, there are no grizzlies in
this neighborhood - this immediate
neighborhood. Now and then some
drunken cowboy rides in with story of
having seen the print of a grizzlys foot
in the sand, but the same print always
turns out to be the spot where some
mule tried to roll his saddle off. While
we can't promise you grizzly bears right
around here, Well go you new hat
that the boys will run you through the
cactus, drive you into the sand, tie you
to bucking broncho or make it just as
interesting in some other way. The
hest time to hunt the grizzly is when
you have got to the top of a mighty tall
tree and he is sitting at the foot of it,
and waiting for you to come down.
THEY ExAGGERArE.-"M. p" sends
us an item clipped from New York
paper stating that we have killed four
teen men and been wounded eight times,
and he asks If it is true. No, sir. It's
base exaggeration. We have been
under the painful necessity of checking
off the accounts of four of our fellow
beings and have been hit twice. That's
all, and we haven't even got the repu-
tation yet of being o dangerous man.
Don't believe all you see in the papers.

You can't get things much below this
figure, while the people here won't
stand much of raise on 1t. We'd like
your society and we'd like your aid to
help build up the town, but when you
ask us for facts and figures we have got

THAT DEpESDs.-A real es ate man in
Chicago writes to inquire what property
is worth front foot in this town. That
depends upon circumstances. Two weeks
ago Colonel Splinters sold forty feet on
Apache avenue for $40 per foot, and two
days later Judge Hampton sold still
better piece of property on the aamo
avenue for S35 per foot. The Colonel
was sober and the Judge was drunk In
n Jackpot the property is generally put
in at about SS5 per foot In bluff it
has run up to $3.50. When the vigilance
committee was going to hang Sage Brush
Jones for stabbing Judge Wickham he
offered them 800 feet of nice property in
the center Of town for SIS per foot
Within an hour after they had let him
go on his promise of future good be-
havior he jumped his figures to 'S95, and
didn't care to sell at that. There ought
to he permanent value placed on real
estate in this town, but as things are
now it seems to be impossible.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1890-05-31


WHY WE DoN'T.-"X.," of Chicago,
writes that he is both surprised and
panied because the Kicker has no
weekly department devoted to agricul-
ture, and he wants to know the reason
why. The chief reason lies in the fact
that we haven't enough agriculture
within twenty miles of this town to
make three-line item in newspaper.
Efforts in that direction are limited to
growing little corn, raising few
potatoes and taking cover under sand
hills to shoot coyotes and jackass rab-
bits. We run such a department two
weeks, with the result that quite num-
ber of chaps who were talking of farm
ing gave it up. They discovered that
there was backache in it-a thing they
had never suspected before.

a horror was averted at Monmouth,
LIS, by the prompt and vigorous action
OF four brave men. The tile works, @
mile east of the city, was thescene. An
explosion of gas at the foot of the new
shaft, ninety feet deep, ignited the en-
CINE house at the top, and the wooden
structures about were soon ablaze. The
shaft was soon filed with smoke, and
the sixteen men imprisoned below were
obliged to seek shelterin the furthermost
recesses of the mine, where they lay down
on their faces to keep from suffocaHng.
There seemed no means of escape, and
the cries of the mothers, wives and
daughters were heartrending.
Four brave men volunteered to 20 to
their comrades rescue, and were let
down an old disused shaft. Armed with
pickaxes and spades they dug an en-
trance through six foot wall of earth,
and one by one the nearly suffocated
men crawled through the small passage
way, over the burning debris, and were
hoisted up. When the last one was res
cued shout Of JOY went up from the
many hundreds who were gathered at
the spot. Some of the men were more
dead than alive when rescued, but all
will recover.-Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

In q Big City.

Curious contrasts frequently appear in
the newspapers. There was a case in
point few days ago which showed how
it is possible for people in this big city to
starve while not very far away food is
being thrown away because the market
is hopelessly glutted. A column of the
newspaper in question was given up to
the description of the superabundance
of bluefish and the necessity of getting
rid of Thousands of fish for which there
was no demand. In the next column
was long story of attempts at murder
by strikers who were homeless and hun
cry. Had they been able to refresh
themselves on the extra bluefsh their at
tempts might have been successful. AS
1t was they did not do a great deal of
damage and the fish went to waste

The working force at the machine
shops has been much reduced on ac-
count Of the present light traffic. When
the wheat shipping season opens the
shops will be again taxed to their ut
most capacity.
Harvest hands are in great demand
in this section. Every day brings far
mers to town in search of hands. The
indications now are that this fall will
be wet one, and unless harvest hands
are imported much grain may be lost.
Tacoma, Seattle and other Sound and
coast cities are said to be over-run with
idle men, while here the farmers are
actually suffering for want of help to
harvest the grain.
Some ten or twelve coaches loaded
with valiant knights and fair ladies
passed through this place last Sunday
on the knights Of Pythias excursion
from Spokane Falls. During a few
minutes delay here, band which ac-
companied the party, rogaled our citi-
zens by discoursing sweet music, the
strains of which came near disturbing
the city council from it's peaceful
slumbers. Those who attended from
this place, report the excursion as be
ing a grand success.
