see him get little less honor and little
more renumeration.-[St. Cloud Times.

the entire estate of H. G. Harrison, val
ued at 81 100000 or more, had been lett
to his widow and none to his sons. This

unfortunate who was born "gro wn up"
or whose childhood was unhappily
cribbed and confined within city walls.
What gala day it was when the far
mers took a holiday, the big Wagons
were loaded with the children, the wom-
en- folks, and big baskets of lunch, the
stories in the county town were closed
for the afternoon, and the town folks

big pumpkins, the be-ribboned horses,
