Benson Monitor: A loud protest is
now being heard from towns along
this division OF the Great Northern on
account of the miserable train ser.
vice now offered the public, At
places like Clontarf, DeGraff and
Murdoch where people can get their
mail only by freight the kick is es.
pecially strong. Take the Monitar's
own experience for instance. Last
week we put the bundle containing
the DeGraff mail in the office here on
Friday. No mail is put of the freight
trains going east. The mail is car.
ried to the stations having no night
offices on the west bound trains and is
taken from these places by those 60
ing eastward. So the Monitors De
Graft list was taken to Willmar ON
Friday nights train. AS it was not
distributed in that Office until after
the freight had left Saturday morn.
ing it must have laid there until the
next west bound freight was sent out,
which was not until Monday morn
ing. Thus the mail that was put in
the Office here last Friday did not
reach DeGraff until Monday of this
week-three days to goa distance of
seven miles, II that isn't miserable
mail or train SERVICE for this civilized
age the Monitor will forever drop its
claims as ajudge of the difference
between modern and ancient accom-.
modatipns,

A Surprise.

Perhaps one of the most surprised
men in seven states was County Com
missioner Milo Camp last evening
when he returned from a session OF
the board mt about 7:30. He found
gathered at his pleasant home several
of his neighbors and friends, and ON
entering his domicil was requested to
seat himself In one of Goods elegant
easy chairs. On the centre table was
a superb bible, by the reading OF
which Milo. could cease his con-
ccience" for the sins he has commit
ted while a member of the board OF
commissioners. The real and perhaps
the most pleasant surprise was a
magnificent cake, on which were the
figures 1853 and 1891. the former being
the year of Mr.. C.'s birth, and the
latter indicating the anniversary OF
that event. This was the handiwork
of Mrs. Camp. The other presents
came from friends as a memento for
his public services on behalf of his
constituents.

1t is probably true that there are
certain persons in Morris and vicinity
who sometimes indulge In glass of
beer. We do not vouch for this state
ment being strictly true, but circum-
stantial evidence indicates that such
is the case. For the benefit of such
persons we would state that Doctor
Schultze, in Science, claims to have
established, by very extended series
of experiments, that beer, by as little
as five minutes standing in any glass,
even when cold and in the dark, will
be materially affected both in taste
and odor. By making trial tests on
some hundred persons he sustains his
claims. The change is due, as he
thinks. to the slight solubility of the
glass substance in the beer. Lead is
used in the manufacture of glass,
making 1t more easy to manipulate,
and from experiments with glass OBJ
tanned from the leading source ofsupss
ply, he determined that one cubic
centimetre of beer, by five minutes
standing in glass, dissolved 6.26 ten
millionths of milligram of the glass
substance containing 0-48 thousand
millionths of a milligram of lead OK
ide. 1t is this small quantity of glass
substance that affects the taste of the
beer, and if it contains lead, renders
it Objectionable for sanitary reasons,
BY further experiments with vessels
of different substances, he came to
the conclusion that gold-lined silver
mugs are the best, and he ranks
covered salt-g LACED stone mugs as
good. -----

what The Horse would Say.


Any one who is guilty of abusing
and mistreating a horse, especially a
good horse, ought to be punished Sc
verely. Yet scarcely day passes
but we see right here in Morris some
of these noble animals treated in a
shameful yes, brutal manner. And il
it is for the benefit of those persons
who mistreat their horses that we
publish the following, and ask for it a
careful perusal.
Wilmer Atkinson has been investi.
eating the sentiments Of a horse, and
he says in his Journal that the horse,
if it could talk, would say:
Don't hitch me to an iron post or
railing when the mercury is below
freezing. l need the skin on my
tongue.
Don't leave me hitched in my stall
at night with a big cob right where !
must lie down. am tied and can't
SelecC a smooth place.
Don't compel me to eat more salt
than 1 want by mixing it with my oats.
I know better than any other animal
how much / need.
Don't think because I go free under
the whip 1 don't get tired. You would
move up if under the whip.
Don't think because 1 am horse
that iron weeds and briars won't hurt
my hay.
Don't whip me when 1 get frighten-
ed along the road, or I will expect it
next time and may make trouble.
Don't trot me up hill for have to
carry you and the buggy and myself
too. Try it yourself sometime. Run
up hill with big load.
Bon t keep my stable very dark,
for when / go out in the light my eyes
are injured, especially if snow be en-
the ground.
Don't say whoa. unless you mean it.
Teach me to stop at the word. 1t may
check me if the lines break and save
a runaway and smash-up.
Don't make me drink ice cold water,
nor put a frosty bit in my mouth,
Warm the bit by holding it half of
a minute against my body.
Don't forget to file my teeth when,
they get jagged and cannot chew my
food. When 1 get lean it is sign
my teeth want filing.
Don't ask me to shack" with blind
on. I am afraid to.
Don't run me down steep hill, for
if anything should give way might
break your neck.
Don't put on my blind-bridle so
that it lrritates my eye, or so leave
my forelock that it will be in my eyes.
Don't be so careless of my harness
as to find a great sore on me before
you attend to it.
Don't lend me to some blockhead
that has less sense than have.
Don't forget the old book that is a
friend to all oppressed, that says: "a
merciful man is merciful to his beast. F"
The Western Rural suggests sever
al other things the horse would say if
he could. He would say:
Don't make such an Internal fool of
yourself as to curse me when you get
mad, can't tell whether you are
cursing or praying. All l know is
that you seem to be more ungovern-
able than am.
Don't let an ignorant horse sheer
drive nail into the sensitive part of
the foot. 1t hurts, / tell you.
Don't try to warm yourself mp with
whisky on cold day while / am out
side shivering.
Don't compel me to cook my feet by
standing in hot manure.
Don't pile the litter up around my
manger to dry, The scent is neither
healthful or pleasant.
