An Early Settler.

Samuel Larson, our popular DIR,
goods merchant, commenced business
in Morris, as member of the firm Of
Larson and Nilsson, in July, 1871. Al
that time there was no town here, and
in fact, no place for anyone to stop
over night, except at the farm of j. ID
Good, where G. X. Light now resides
Here Mr.. Larson stopped. H. B.
Wolff, who was erecting his store
building, was also stopping at Mr..
Goods. Larson q Nilsson commenced
business first where Chris. Flatner
now has his meat market, where they
done business for three years. Mr..
Larson helped unload the first box of
dry goods ever brought to town, be-
longing to H. B. Wolff. Mr.. Larson
first came here in June, 1871, but
about the 18th of July of that year he
came from Benson to Morris on an
excursion train of the st. Paul, M. &
M. road.
Great changes have taken place in
Morris since Mr. Larson commenced
business here. What was then only
a wild prairie is now settled by a
thriving, industrious people, and
Morris which was then scarsely a
settlement, is now busy, go-ahead
city.

Railroad Meeting.

There was meeting of our bust
ness men at Goods store ON Monday
to discuss the matter of better train
service on the Great Northern. III
w. Stone, ST., was elected chairman
Mr.. S. stated that he had an inter,
view with one of the railroad com
missioners who advised that a meet
ing of the citizens of Morris and other
towns on the line be held and that
the commissioners would meet with
them for the purpose of considering
the matter. A committee, consisting
of j. d. Good, Charles Wintermute
and E. w. Randall, was appointed to
make all necessary arrangements for
the meeting and correspond with
other towns in relation to the same.
Since the holding of the meeting here
word has been received from the COM
missioners saying that they will be
here on Wednesday the 10th inst, at
which time meeting will be held at
The Morris in this city, and it is ex-
pected that there will be delegations
from the various towns atfectedby the
deficient train service of the Great
Northern.

The laws of health are taught in
our schools; but not in way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases could be done. If some
scholar who had just contracted a
a cold was brought before the school,
so that all could hear the dry loud
cough and know its significance: see
the thin white coating on the tongue
and later, as the cold developes, see
the profuse watery expectoration and
thin watery discharge from the nose,
not one of them would eyer forget
what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
a severe cold could be cured in one
or two days, OR at least greatly miti-
gated, when properly treated as soon
as the first symptoms appear. For

Take O Week Off.

The promise of the springtime in
this Northwest has been gloriously
redeemed in the harvest of the early
autumn. Wheat exceeded even the
expectations of the man who has farm
lands to sell. The European crops
were in great part failures. The
Northwestern farmer has been feeling
pretty well. Have you had share
of this prosperity, or are you like the
hoop on a barrel not in it? Ii you
are one of the lucky ones, why not
take a few weeks off this winter, and
make visit to the old home, or a
trip to Florida, Louisiana, California,
or Mexico? Nothing will do SO much
to enliven a man, and furnish him
with supply of amusing and happy
remembrances as journey, especially
to countries different from his own.
To the American, Mexico is revela
ton, in productions, climate, customs,
and the evidences of former high
civilization, so old that the discovery
of Columbus would be an event of
yesterday in comparison.
To start right on any such trip, call
on the nearest ticket agent, of THE
Burlington" for tickets and informa-
ton, or address W. J. G.. Kenyon,

The Way 1t Blew on the Lake.

A party of yachtsmen were becalmed
out on Lake Ontario Sunday afternoon,
and while waiting for q breeze the time
was occupied in spinning yarns. There
were two or three old salts on board,
and they did all the spinning, while the
younger and less experienced tars sat
and smoked and listened. Finally one
of the old salts took his pipe from be-
tween his teeth long enough to draw
breath, and said
You fellows give me a pain talking
about big storms. Why, l was out in a
storm in the summer of $50 that was so
much bigger than any that you have
ever seen that they are like cats paws
compared to it."
Then he stopped and began industri-
ously to draw upon his pipe again.
"Tell us about it" said the young fell
lows in chorus.
"It was in the month of July in the
year 1869, and 1 was out on the lake in a
yacht of mine," he said, after pausing
long enough to fill his pipe afresh and
light it, land the wind began to get
pretty fresh. paid but little attention
to it, but it kept blowing fresher and
fresher, and one of my crew asked if we
had not better shorten sail. l thought
that there was no danger and said that
there was time enough. All of a sudden
the wind began to blow harder than l
ever saw it in this latitude, and we all
began to get badly scared.
II gave orders to take in sail, but be-
fore the men could lay hands on rope
a big puff came and away went the sails
into ribbons There we were out in the
middle of the lake with no sails, and the
situation began to look desperate. How
we were going to get in did not know,
but the very storm itself furnished us
way and we rode safely to Shore"
Here he stopped and began to smoke.
"How did you get imp asked the
youngest sailor Of the lot.
"'Why," said the old salt, "the wind
blew so hard that it blew the ropes out

An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but unmistakable language for
benefit of the public. One of my
children took a severe cold and got
the Group. I gave her teaspoonful
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
in five minutes later [ gave her one
more. By this time she had to cough
the gathering in her throat. Then
she went to sleep and slept for fifteen
minutes. Then she got and vomited;
then she went back to bed and slept
good for the remainder of the night.
She got the Group the second night
I gave the same remedy with the
same good results. | write this be-
cause [ thought there might be some
one in the same need and not know
the true merits of this wonderful
medicine. CHARLES A. Thompson,

Social and Supper.

Another of the successful enter
tainments given annually by the
Congregational Church and society
will be held at Odd Fellows Hall on
Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th, COM
mencing at 6 o'clock.
1t is designed to make this in all
particulars one of the most attractive
and satisfactory entertainments ever
given. The supper consisting of
hot chicken pie, cold meats of all
kinds, salads, jellies, rolls, coffee, ices,
creams and cakes in great variety
will crafty the most exacting.
The candy table will be one of the
special features of the evening. Rarely
in any city, and never in Morris, has
such a display of toothsome dainties
been seen. The ladies have been ex-
ceptionally fortunate in securing the
aid of experts in this line, who have
kindly consented to grant the public
an opportunity to test their skill. It
is hoped that one and all will avail
themselves of this rare opportunity.
The fancy table will be laden with
articles both useful and ornamental.
Come early and make a selection.
Sale begins at 6 o'clock promptly and
continues throughout the evening.

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing.
The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that.they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
SO as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tum ble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing chaos.
A chaos is a steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. Their edges are gener-
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi-
ton, some of them are 'twobblers." The
duffer passed several unpleasant! quarters
of an hour in following the hunter, ex-
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry on
his leg souvenir of one of them.-Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.
