Sr. LOUIS, October 29.-The trouble
which has existed here for the past few
DAVIS between Western Union telegraph
operators who were or are members OF
thenewly-organized Brotherhood Of Tele-
qraphers and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, has been amicably set
tied. The members OF the st. Louis
lodge held q meeting to-day, and 1t IS
officially announced that the preliminary
steps were taken 20 dissolve the local
lodge. The lodge will be disbanded as
soon as the regular forms necessary
for such action can be gone through.
This removed all local cause for conten-
ton between the two parties, and
the telegraph officials have reinstated
not only the operators who voluntarily
left their instruments and walked out of
the Office but those who were discharged.
At least outward harmony is restored
and the ripple of excitement which DIS
turbed the troubled waters has subsidized.

Women Photographers in Russia.

Really the Russian powers that be are
too hard on the young women employed
in their telegraph Offices. It appears
that on entering the service they are
only admitted on the condition that
they will marry Oily such men as are
employed in the same work as them
selves, and that if the husband should
happen to be i'll she will take his place,
besides retaining her own. A few days
ago the young ladies made up their
minds to bear such tyranny no longer,
and sent in humble petition to the
heads of the service demanding re-
lease from the law which condemns
them to celibacy if they do not choose
to marry one of their male colleagues.
An answer to the petition has not yet
been granted, and if the matter is taken
in hand with the elaborate sluggishness
which distinguishes Russian officialdom,
good deal of water will have flown
down the Neva before the matter is set
tled.-N. Y. Star.

HERE AND THERE.

ANY man will take pride in fine
stock and will try and keep it well,
when he would neglect that of inferior
quality.
The hog has paid for good many
farms in this country and it will pay for
many more. The hog is an all-round
money-maker, taking him one year with
another.
Rubber bands are now used for
celery. 1t is wonder that they were
not always used, when their conven:
fence and their ability to conform with
the shrinkage of the plant is considered.
Twenty-Five dollars year for to-
bacco and one dollar a year for some
cheap farm paper is the kind Of manage
| ment that makes the statement that
farming does not pay much greater
truth than it otherwise would be.
"A man says that he once made the
mistake of his life by sending good
butter bull to the butcher. There have
been too many such mistakes made.
The slaughter of the calves come under
that head.
Sit down some night, or on several
nights, and closely estimate what it has
cost you to produce every crop that you
have grown in the past season, allowing
for all mistakes and all carelessness.
Indeed, be very careful to charge up all
that can be charged against carelessness.
Not only must the dairyman select
the breed adapted to the kind of dairy
ing he is pursuing, but careful selec-
ton of individual animals must be made.
To do this careful test of the milk of
all cows of the herd must be had, and
those falling below the proper standard
rejected. aG
"A sheep breeder who raises other
than either choice mutton or really
good clip of wool, or both. is entirely
out of his sphere and should by all
means quit the business, as any one who
raises poor mutton and poor wool will
lose money.
Frequent transplanting of the young
plant and good tillage are essential to
best results in tomato culture, says the
Michigan Farmer. Plants started un-
der glass ten weeks before transplant-
ing into the field, will give fruit about
week sooner than those started two Or
three weeks later.
If you send hired man to buy
horse for you and he induces the seller
to put ten dollars extra upon the price,
and give it to him, what would you do
with the man? asks correspondent. If
we were able we would kick him off the
farm and mile and half down the
road. A man who will do that sort of a
thing is Thoroughbred rascal.
"A dairyman complains that the re-
suit of breeding grades OF thoroughbred
bulls has not been altogether salts
factory. Well, while such breeding
will always raise the standard, it must
not be forgotten that if you want GER
tain kind of animal, the only way to get
it with absolute certainty, is to breed
from a thoroughbred dam and sire. Any
other kind of breeding, while it inl-
proves, may not be just what you would
like,

Resigned.

Resigned.
There's not IN hour Of any day,
Or day Of any week,
Or week Of any passing month,
But one dear name speak;
Yet not with unavailing tears,
AS on that night Of woe,
When first from out my heaven Of LIE
Its star Of hope did go.
Now, day by day, I tread the paths
OF duty and Of care;
Smile with the friends who rovnd me smile
And strive their joys to share;
Whilst ever deep within my heart
There lives ceaseless pain
A tender longing for the step
That meier can come again.
AS sunlight dances DER the waves
Though wrecks lie dark beneath;
And pale sweet flowers adorn the graves
Where dear ones sleep in death;
AS plying Nature strives to hide
The hurts she can not heal,
So loving hearts, with gentle craft,
Their mortal wounds conceal.
All said and dark were many homes
But for the tender grace,
With which pale Resignation draws
A vail DER Sorrows face!
And whispers evermore this plea
That at the last beguiles:
The blessed dead need not your tears,
The living need your smiles.
