WHEAT growers in North Dakota are
considerab ly alarmed over the report that
elevator companies in the state will refuse
to store rain this year. Heretofore nine
tenths of the crop of the state has been
bought by the elevator companies upon
the Duluth and Minneapolis quotations
A farmer could store his grain in these
elevators for Is days for nothing, and
to keep it in store as long as he desired
to pay small fee therefor. The cause of
this change of base is said to be the new
law which makes all public warehouses pay
an annual license of $3.50 1000 bushels
capacity. The elevators will take the
ground that they are otpublic elevators,
and The farmer who hasn't the money to
hold his crop nor the place to put ii will
be compelled to sell at whatever price the
company sees dt to allow him. The prin-
,ipal elevators expect, by forcing private
buyers out of the small stations and agree
ing upon price, to again obtain absolute
control of the states crop, which this year
promises to be enormous. If all these re-
ports are true, the condition of the North
Dakota farmers is pitiable. As rule
they have so to 500 acres in grain, which
represents all they have, and which this
year promises the first actual return
for their labor in three years. They have,
as a rule, no grlinaries. and ii is too late
new to build them, even if they had the
money, so that they appear to be at the
mercy of the elevator combine.

TINS iear has deea full of disasters,
causing loss of life. The cyclone began its
deadly work in Kentucky January IS, with
Il loss of II lives. The next catastrophe

The ex-Empress Eugene had quite an
adventure some time ago en- route ftom
Liege to Cologne. She was sitting n a
frst-class railway compartment whea a
man entered and, producing ripe, began
to smoke industriously. The guard reIre-
sented to the fellow that the compartment
was reserved for ladies, but this warning
had no effect upon the rufhan, who c,n-
tinued to smoke so fast that the air in The
compartment soon became intolerable md
the ex-empress tainted away. At the n xt
stop she was removed to another compact
ment. When told who the lady was he
man expressed satisfaction that he Ind
smoked her out I've paid my fare nd
I'm as good as anybody else said be-
Strangely enough, the fellow was not ar
rested for violation of the rule prohibiting
intrusion into ana smoking in the ccm-
partment reserved for ladies. 1t is sid.
however, that railway regulations in
Europe are enforced in the cases of fore I'm
patrons only. Let an American break he

THE Census Bureau at Washington is
now busily engaged in counting the re-
turns from all over the country. 1t is es-
timated that the total population of the
United States will foot up to something
like 66,000,00f The rate of increase in
the West and in some parts of the South
has been very rapid, although. if one-half
of the complaints regarding the work of
the enumerators are true, there must be a
good many persons left out of what Mr..
Mantilini would call 'the demnition to-
tall" A million day is the rate as which
the Census Bureau is progressing, so it
will be two months yet before the result is
definitely known. Meanwhile it is obvious
that we are big enough to wait patiently
WHILE Pasteur Institutes for the scien-
tifc treatment of hydrophobia are being
established in the large cities, the mad
stone still holds its own in the rural dis
tricts. II the granger when bitten by a
mad dog can obtain maidstone, he seems
/. think himself just as well Oft as If he
should 90 to Pasteur institute and be
,ured The maidstone is just now almost
as actively engaged in the treatment of dog
bites as the scientific doctors. And it is
only fair to say that people to whose
wound it is applied seldom suffer from
hydrophobia Whether this il due to the
efficiency of the stone or to the sound health
of the dog is another matter. At any rate,
the belief that the maidstone is possessed
of magical curative power is still very
common superstition.
THE Wisconsin Prohibitionists in the
State convention at Madison, Tuesday,
nominated DR.. Charles Alexander, of Eau
Claire, for Governor, and full State
ticket. The usual resolutions were passed
denouncing the liquor traffic, demanding
legislation in favor Of the farmer and fay
oring woman suffrage. There was some
excited oratory over plank in the plat
form indorsing the Bennett law, the up
shot of which was that the reference to the
law was stricken out. t. G. Richmond, a
prohibition leader for years, bolted the
convention, and there was vigorous kick
from the supporters of the Bennett law on
account Of the refusal to endorse it.
The Alliance has now captured the reg
nlar. democratic nomination for governor
in two southern states, Georgia and Ten.
nessee. The convention at Nashville has
just nominated on the 25th ballot, John
B. Buchanan for governor. Nj Buchan-
an is little over 49, farmer, president
of The state alliance, and an officer of the
agricultural wheel, an organization SINH
Var to the alliance. He has been the can
didate Of the farmers from the first, and
went into the convention with nearly half
the delegates pledged to him. The pre-
liminary canvas has been closely contested,
and great deal of bad feeling has been
developed among the supporters of the
leading candidates.

A Brief Harangue on Talking Slang.
Harper's Young People.

This 'sermonette" is especially for you,
dear girls. The advice could be put in
three words--Dont do it. Possibly there
might come an occasion-say once in a
lifetime when IL good round bit of the
genuine article ''sang" would prove fun
ny. But to hear vulgar words used by a
gentle girl is almost invariably shocking.
remember passing two girls in the street,
a quarter" 1t gave me SILVER And
when group of school. girls fill their con-
versation-as, alas! they often do-with
one slang phrase after another, the effect
on an outsider is painfully disagreeable.
The habit of talking slang grows rapid
y. 1t is like reporting bit of scandal.
Have you never noticed if you say an UNI
kind word against a neigbbor, how quick
ly chance comes to say another? And
with just that same appalling habit of use
ing careless words increases. Weeds grow
rapidly.
There is plenty of good strong English
to give expression to w.t. drollery, indig-
nation, or sympathy, without recourse to
the phrases which belong to horse jockeys,
gamblers, tipplers, and vagabonds. The
street Arab picks up slang as he does the
ends of old cigars from the gutter Surely
a well-bred girl is not ON the same levd in
her speech and manner. Why should She
use ulgar words any more than she would
stain her hands?
There ought to be something akin to
flowers in fresh young girl. She need
not be prudish nor priggish. No pne
wishes her to say ''prunes and prismsl to
coax her lips into the proper curves. But
refined and dainty in speech as well a, in
dress she surely ought to be. Won't you
please think about it for FIVE minutes, and
see if you do not agree with me2

The Woman of Aries.

Superbiy situated at the point where the
two streams divide, the Aries of to-day
troubles itself very little about either, its
ancient glories or its possibilities of modern
Improvement. 1t IS a city of creams,
with careless grace and a result of perfect
unity. The far famed beauty of the Aries
iennes is of a distinctly Greek type,
straight featured, low-browed, and deli
cate. 1t is enhanced by their graceful
black costume with swelling 6chu'of white
lace and coquettish little cap of the same
material set high on the head and bound
witk broad black ribbon, one end of
which is left free and falls to the shoulder.
Young and old, these women, almost with
out exception, have luxuriant hair, curling
lightly about the temples. The smallness
of the head as compared with the size OF
the neck another strikingly classic feature
accounts in part. no doubt, tor their
superb carriage. This, too, is beauty
which they seem never to lose. | have

Andersen, the popular Danish author,
was the son of cobbler, and in his earlier
years worked ION the bench" most indus

moments when he rested from his regular

Arsaces, who founded the Parthian En-
pire, against which the mighty hosts of
Rome long contended in vain, was me-

Beranger, the celebrated French poet,
wandered about Paris in state of pitiable
restitution until he obtained situation as
pot-boy-that is, to carry pots of beer in
public-houses and restaurants.
Burns was the son of small farmer,
and at an early age displayed an appetite
for learning which he had few opportunit-
les for gratifying, as is shown in the most
brilliant of his poems.

Demosthenes, the Grecian orator and

laughter of his hearers.
Giotto, noted as painter, sculptor, ar

natural artistic ability, and he took him as

Handel was nearly fifty years of age

Sir Isaac Newton while attending school
was considered by his teachers but little
better than an IDIOT; and Sheridan, the eel

mother to tutor as a ''blockhead. y
