Printing, either for glory or gratitude,
may be II timc-hOnorcd custom, but If
is done in direct opposition to the
Iinanclal element of the business. Not
excepting the physician or druggist,
there is no line of trade in which so
much is asked and nothing but thanks
Is paid in return. The average citizen
acts as if Il printing Office costs but lit
tie money, and that running expenses
are insignificant; that proprietors
should be willing to do free printing
from their most expensive material and
stock for the glory of having their i'm
print attached to the work As y rule,
the printer is the first man in the COM
munity selected to furnish, without pay,
the necessary advertising matter for
every conceivable charity or enterprise,
and if he hints at getting half price for
the work he is considered n very mean
citizen. Such eases are of daily oc-
currcncc; there seems to be no limit to
the number of people who ask for
favors they would not grant if cases
were reversed. The wealthicSt ask
more than the humblcst ciIizen While
printers are generally charitable and
entcrprising, yet the custom of taxing
their business TO swell contributions
which the individual should give is
radically wrong. In dealing with a
customer the profit problem should he
paramount, and some plan should be
formulated by which this great drain
on the printer may be checked if moi
abatcd. Newspapers have fixed rules
in such matters; why should printers
not do likewise. 1t is at present mos
unpleasant feature of an employing
printers lifc.-Richard Ennis in st

y gang of confidence men and their
cOnfcdcratcs made Il neat turn on
Steven Tricc, II wealthy farmer, near
Lathrop Friday afternoon and got
away with 8, 800 and Il fine team and

his farm and persuaded him to draw
the s. 800 from the bank to purchase
some land adjoining his which they
wanted but could not buy. After draw
ing the money he left town with them
in II carriage and when near town they
met a confederate, who was passing rs

reformed him and robbed him. The

victim home, impressing on his mind

killed.
They told him il was in settlement
of an old war grudgc and was the way
a few enemies took TO get even. Mr..
'rricc was so overcome with fright that
he never mentioned the affair even 10

The Lapps are Il curious race. Moth
ing is known of their origin or whence
they came. They seem To be Momgo-
lians, but are as superior To the ESIui-
mauX rs the blonde SwcdeS and Nor
wegianS are to themselves.
They are of Il Stuntcd nature, seldom
exceeding five feet in height, while
four and II half feet is perhaps II good
average, but of thick set bodies, exceed
ingly strong and active. With dark
hair and complexion, black eyes,
prominent check bones, hollow checks
and reccding chin they present strong
points of resemblance 10 the Chinese,
but their eyes are not oblique and their
color is much lighter, while their Ian
guage bears not the slightest rcscm-
blance to that of any known Asiatic
tribe. 1t is probable that they were
among the earliest immigrants to Eu-
rope from the Asiatic home of the
human race, and that, pressed by sub
sequent tides of immigration, they
were gradually crowded into their far
away corner of the continent, and
there remained, Il relic of almost pre-
historic times.
However this may he, it is certain
that in intelligence they far exceed
most nations of so-callcd Savages. Most
are, at least nOminally, Christians.
Partly by persuasion, partly by force,
they were, Il couple of hundred years
ago, induced to give up their heathcn-
ism and embrace Il protestant chris
tianity.
In Hatta there is the most northern
Lutheran church in the world. II is
an unpretending building, standing
almost on an eminence, and III its serv-
ice is rarely held more than once 4
month, for the clergyman resides many
miles away, and is obliged TO ride his
circuit over an almost roadleSS country
under circumstances of difficulty which
would hinder the clergy of more civil,
lied countries from going at all.
The Lapps have the bible in thcil
own tongue, and few stories are moro
interesting than the account of it,
translation. Over thirty years ago :
series of religious riots took place in /;
number of villages in Lapland, ant
among the rioters was one Lar.
lIaetta. During the riots scvcra
homicides occurred, and Lars and scv
eral Others of his companions wcr,
committed to prison on the charge o
murder. They were found guilty an'
several were hanged, but in consIdcra
ton of his youth IIactta was condemn
ed to lifelong imprisonment.
CommSerating his condition, hi
keepers and the prison chaplain cX
tended to him such favors rs coul'
safely be granted 10 a life long pris
oner, and, finding them rewarded b,
good conduct, took especial pnIns I,
teach him To read and write. Lar
became interested in the bible, grey
day by day more fond of reading il
and finally formed the bold project q
translaiing it into his native tongue
Through many weary years the labo
went on, for Lars was no great scholar
and the Lapp language, rs may b
readily supposed, is not fluent litcra
ry medium of thought.
But finally the work was done, tn
bible translated and printed in the Ian
guage of Lapland, and the remainde

II. w. Keene, one of the leading stock
men of Lafayette county, has the follow
ing letter in last weeks Rural World:
In your issue OF 11th, Thomas Lafon
states that the list of standard stations

port in reply to Mr.. Chubbucx's circular

|. Fashions Maid foaled 1888, by Fashion,
dam Annie Laurie by Almont Pilot, and
entered in all the three-year-old stakes,
and the one that beats her will think he
has been to a horse race. She was record
ed under rule 7th in vol. s, Wallace's Trot-
ting Register, on 18th of July, 1888.
The other filly, Laura Keene, by Col.
Lillards, dam Annie Laurie by AImont
Pilot, recorded on 25th of April, 1890, in
vol. 0. Now, if thiststatement is not suf-
ficient, refer the gentleman to Brother
Wallace himself. The list does not in
cludc any of Lafayettc's horses, except
those of Mr.. Beamer and Mr.. Shultz. II.
Todhunter has three or four stations, and
twelve or fifteen mares. j. r. Barnett has
two stations and threeS or four mares.
Rev. l.. J. Stanley owns Fashion and two
mares. DIR. Bates has three stations and
several mares. Mr.. Shewalter owns three
standard stations, including William V.
