"A Justice Loving Rooster.

An incident which caused much
amusement and set everybody talking
occurred in the court room on a recent
afternoon. John Williams, who had
been charged on several indictments for
burglary, ~felonious entry, larceny, etc.,
but was decided not guilty on all but
three indictments, pleaded guilty on the
Indictment for larceny. During the day
a rooster was offered in testimony, it
being claimed that the prisoner had
stolen the bird.
Now this rooster, like any other SEN
sible bird, kept its mouth shut and be-
haved very nicely indeed during the
trial. But when Judge Bittenger called
the prisoner up and passed sentence upon
him the rooster could contain himself no
longer, and from within his basket pris-
on there came u crow of delight and ex-
ultation. The effect was rather start
ling as well as amusing. The crowd
chuckled with suppressed merriment,
and even the stern judge was noticed to
relax his countenance a little. The mer-
riment at length subsidized and the rooster
was voted a dandy. But that historic
bird had not yet fully demonstrated his
appreciation of the circumstances to his
own satisfaction.
Williams was afterward called up to
receive sentence on another Indictment,
and the unsuspecting people were again
almost electrified by hearing another
hearty crow from the rooster. That bird
was evidently glad that the prisoner was
sentenced and wanted it understood too.

Governor Stephens Last Act.


Governor Alexander Stephens-dying
a few years ago-persisted in having all
business matters brought to his bedside.
There was on the table a petition for the
pardon Of a distinguished criminal; the
petition was signed by distinguished
men. There was also on that table u
letter from a poor woman in the peni-
tertiary, written and signed by herself
alone. Dying" said the great governor.
"You think that because 1 have been ill
so many times and got well that I shall
get we'll now, but you are mistaken; I
will not recover. Where is that letter
by that woman in the p%enitentiary? l
think she has suffered enough. AS near
as I can tell she has no friends. Bring
me that paper that I may sign her par
DON"
A gentleman standing by, thinking
this too great u responsibility for the
sick man, said, governor, you are very
sick now, perhaps you had better wait
till tomorrow; you may feel stronger
and you may feel BETTER" Then the eye
of the old governor flashed, and he said,
II know what I am about" Putting his
signature to that pardon he wrote the
last word he ever wrote, for then the
pen fell from his pale and rheumatic
and dying hand forever. How beauti-
full that the closing hours of life should
DO spent in helping one who had no
helper!-Dr. Talmage in Ladies' Home

Potatoes Growing on a Grape Vine

The owner of a garden in Greenman-
vile had occasion recently to prune a
grapevine. In his ignorance he failed to
consult "Daboll's yearly clam tide regu-
%lator," and mutilated the vine in the
wrong season, with the result that the
fluid extract of grape began to u and
there was danger of the vine bleeding to
death, when a happy thought went
through his brain. Securing some large
seed potatoes, he dissected them and ap-
piled the pieces to the cuts. They stuck
together like twin brothers and the vine
and potatoes fourished, gathering life
from each other, till now they form a
conglomcration of grape and potato vine
that is attracting the attention of farm
ers and agriculturists for miles around.

Nor only arc the crop prospects in
North Dakota better than they have
before been, but the uniformity of
the fine prospect throughout the state
is the subject of UNIVERSAL comment
and rejoicing. OF course wheat crop
is not entirely safe and secure from
harm by wind and weather until it is
IN the granary. and this is just as true
of any other country as of this. But
while the crop prospect is now as
good as in the curly sos when every
body went wild on wheat, and the
prospective price is us good us it was
then, there L other sources of in.
come and prosperity which the farm
ers of those days did not possess, and
that is stock. During the years past
when farmers were given the lesson
OF experience not to depend wholly
upon wheat raising they have been in
a manner driven into stock raising
and as Il result those who have "stuck
to the farm and made the best of it
now have several sources of income
established, and if the wheat crop meet
reasonable expectations they Will
have about that much more added to
their surplus when they come to
make up the balance sheet at the end
ofthe year. During the past four or
live years they have been raising cat.
tie, horses and sheep on IL scale com.
mensurate with their circumstances.
They now have a horse OF two to sell
at a good price in the spring when the
demand makes a ready market. They
have a few cattle to sell for beef, for
which there is q market every day in
the year. They have the wool clip of
their hocks, which is al unfailine
crop, every June, and mutton sheen
any time in the year. The raising of
this stock costs them scarcely INV.
thing except the time and trouble
OF caring for it. The past several
years the grazing has been good all
the year round so that even prairie
hay was not needed when the farmer
had plenty of straw for his stock to
feed upon during the stormy days.
AS it never rains in this country dur.
ing the winter season a covering OF
straw OF prairie hay gives good stable,
ing and protection to stock, and sucl1
shelter can be provided at little or nc
cash expense. There is no locality il
the country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific where stock can he raised al
SO little expense as in North Dakota
Farmers have discovered this and thu
profits of such a plano of operation ani
are on the highway to future and Der
petual prosperity. -[Jamestown Capi

LoYALTY.

They live in the halls of the heroes
The worlds Nalhalla gray
Truo knights, who in storm and baltic
Flung the scabbard of life away.
Following a single watchword,
Dying and undismayed,
For tho rcd rose OF the Lancaster
Or the Stuart's white cockade.
Oh, clear as the blast far ringing
From the tips of Roland's horn,
That word and its passionate meaning
On the breath OF the past is borne!
What though tho cause were worthless,
Though the faith rang false when triet
With as godlikc self surrender
They fought on the crring side.
Borne down in the tide of battle
They died, and arc conQucrors still,
BY Cullodcn or Ronccsvallcs,
by Crcssy or Malvern Hill!
Where the forces of life arc meeting,
Strong souls, like warriors, stand
On the side of their Lords Amounted,
Still ready, sword in hand.
For the white ideal of honor,
Tho crown of their manhood's pride,
For the roso of u love unsullicd,
Into the fight they ride.
Strong in n faith mistaken,
Loyal as those of old,
They lift over storm and struggle
Their oritiammc's white fold.
They raise up hands of power,
They strike where wrong dcfics,
to n dream, n trust, n symbol,
In n rapture of sacrifice.
Their shield still filings its shelter
The weary and weak above
For the loyal arm gives Justice,
And tho loyal heart gives love!

cheapness and Dissatisfaction.

Don't you feel sorry for the woman
who haunts the bargain room counters:
About her face is a weary, anxious look,
and her clothes have rather a tawdry air.
1t is proper they should, for the very
word "tawdry" is derived from st.
Audrey, on whose day fairs were held,
when the bargain seeking danes were
induced to buy worthless things because
they were cheap. AS if anything you
didn't want was eve cheap! Although
the old st. Audrey's fair is closed, prac-
ticaily it still exists, for the same result
follows all purchases such as were made
there, i. e., Observation-Disclosures York

THERE seems to be Il misapprehcn-

''Said certificate shall also be recorded

reside, Or in cast of nonresident

lT seems after all. the members of
the Dickinson school board have done
nothing for which the public has real
grounds for criticism. The meeting
called for Monday night to discuss
the school building matter did not
attract much attention, and VIC have
failed to learn of any tangible grounds
for any general dissatisfaction. a
committee was appointed to invcsti-
gate and report ON the following even
ing, and it seems that the committee
found nothing to report and the mat
ter dropped. Now we would suggest
these little differences of opinions
cease petty jcalousics he dropped,
and all work together to the end of
getting Il good school building, which
the school board are cndcavoring to-
get. and we believe there is no reason
to doubt their ability to secure the
same. They are honorable men and
above reproach.
