BILLS PROGRESS.
Winning LaureIs at College, but they
Didn't Suit the Old Man.

Farmer Homespun. living in the
western part of New York. sent his son
Bill to Yale college, says Teas Syt-
ingS. lie hadn't heard from Bill in
| some time, but one day a danditied
fellow called at the farm house and
| said lie was from Yale college and
knew Bill.
You be one of them students from
Yale college. be you?" asked the farm
| er.
"Yaas. I claim old Yale as my alma
mater. Bill told me to call in and see
| YOU while | was in this ncighborhood
fishing. Bill has gone TO New York
for Il little relaxation"
so you know my Bill-Bill Home
spun?"
Why, certainly. know him. We
| are in the same boat"
How is Bill coming on? He hasn't
writ to me in a good while. but he
draws drafts pretty regular"
Bill is improving"
Is he industrious?"
He practices every day four or five
hours. He pulls Il pretty fair oar for a
freshman. He is learning to feather
his oar pretty well.
How does lie get along with his
professor? Is he learning?"
He is learning fast He is little
awkward at first. but the professor
polishes him every day, and Bill will
be able to hold up his hands to almost
anybody. He is getting to box like a
professional
The old farmer was somewhat mvsti-
fed. When he sent his son to Yale his
idea was to enable the Young man to
learn how TO paddle his own canoe. and
feather his own nest. but he had no
idea that feathering an oar and rowing
a boat where the best means of acguir-
ing the knowledge.
How is Bill coming on with his
books?" asked the old man.
My dear sir, it is al nonsense try
ing TO learn how to row boat or box
by studying books. There are lots of
books 4 fellow can study if he wants
To, but the only way is to discard books
and put on the gloves. or pick up the
oars aud go at it practically"
How about his other studies. Does
he pitch in and work?'
No, it's not every fellow that can
play baseball that knows how TO pitch.
think Bill will he better catcher
than pitcher. He is pretty good as q
shortstop."
The old man shook his head and
murmured:
SO he is good as shortslop Well
| guess if that's all he's learnin' he'll
stop short sure enough"
Bits next draft went to protest. and
now Bill is sitting around the village
store and telling about college life tc
the open-mouthed rusticS.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
NORTHWEST.

"The Great Northwest becomes a
very indefinite phrase as the frontier
moves westward with each decade.
The new states that have recently
been admitted to the Union have a
good title to the old term "The Great
Northwest" and the two Dakotas,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
Washington make great empire OF
new possibilities. The Chicago &
North Western Railway, that once
covered the cold Northwest minis
tered to its growth and greatness and
was great missionary factor to the
development of northern Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Northern Michi-
gan, Minnesota and Nebraska. This
was the Old Northwest, and now, by
branch lines or by its alliance with
the Union Pacific R'y. it stretches
out its protecting arms and hand of
help TO the six new states which have
begun their march in the path OF
progress.
What a mighty tide of traffic is
served by the thousands of miles of
railway that compose. the Chicago,
Union Pacific and Northwestern Line.
Reaching sixteen states and the terri
tory Of Utah, and touching more than
? 500 cities and towns, there is sure
to be wonderful growth and devel-
Opment, and somewhere in this
mighty empire, there is always the
high tide of prosperity and great
opportunities for capital, brains and
energy.
The splendid Vestibuled Trains Of
the Northwestern which provide all
the luxuries of travel, convey the
traveller comfortably and safely to
nearly every part of the "Great
Northwest" One of these trains
runs through, solid, from Chicago to
Portland, Oregon, with sleeping car
Chicago to San Francisco without
change-another conveys passenger
between Chicago and Denver with
the loss of only one business day en-
route, and still another takes them to
the Twin Cities of the northwest est
Paul and Minneapolis), or to the
rapidly growing metropolis, Duluth.
without change, in cars that repre-
sent the highest skill and ingenuity
of the best manufacturers in the
world; combining in the high degree,
| elegance, safety and luxurious com
| fort.
Excellent meals in North Western
Dining Cars, which enjoy a national
reputation for excellence, are served
at the uniform price OFFS cents each,
and Free Reclining Chair Cars are
run on through trains between Chi
cago and Council Bluffs, Omaha,
Denver and Portland, Oregon.
The comfort and convenience OF
passengers desiring to travel at a
small expense upon second class
tickets is promoted by the provision
of Accommodations for their use in
Tourist or Colonist Sleeping Cars,
which are supplied with every requis-
lite for comfort, and in which COM
pletely furnished be1ths may be pro-
cured through from Chicago to Port
land, Oregon, or Chicago to San
Francisco at thenominal rate of 81 90
per berth
All ticket agents in the United
States and Canada sell tickets via
the North Western, and time tables
and full information can be obtained
upon application to any of them, +

How to Reduce Flesh.

A Paris letter tells of a very simple
way of reducing flesh. Thanks to this
means. a colonel who was threatened
to be obliged to retire from the army,
as he was so heavy that it required two
men to lift him into the saddle. became
thin in 4 few weeks, and to such an ex-
tent that lie had to take means to re-
cover, in measure, what he had lost.
1t was TO his doctor that he was in
debted for becoming n general. The
means consisted simplyln never eating
more than one dish ut each meal. no
matter what that dish may be, and a
person may consume as much as the
stomach can bear and satisfy the APP
petite without the least reserve. New
crthecss. nothing but the one dish
should be taken; no condiments or
soups or supplementary desserts should
be allowed. This system was recon-
mended to lady who was slightly
obese, and who put it into practice
with the best results. The lady OBJ
served that she suffered no incon-
veniencc whatever from this diet, and
the result obtained by the medical
officer may be well understood as she
found by her own experience that the
partaking of only one dish, whether
| it be meat. fish or vegetables, brought
| on Il sense of safety much sooner than
if she had partakcn of a variety OF
| dishes, whence the effect of relative
abstinence.

another was printing. The former

wood about twenty-five inches long by
fifteen inches broad. and perhaps three
inches deep. The inside was followed
out to depth of about quarter of an

quarters of an inch deep. The block
had twenty-nine of these grooves. each

The printer now received the form

pressed it down all over the form so
that it might be brought in contact
with every character. lie then re-
moved the sheet and examined each
character. carefully adjusting those

sufficient copies had been struck off
the type was distributed. each char

three sizes. each character being kept
in place entirely by the clay in which
it stood. They were cut out of some
hard wood and were perfectly square.

Feats That He Performs.
The man with the iron jaw arrived
III this city few days ago from San
Francisco in the form of mild-look-
ing youth of % years of aye. and yes
terday he gave an exhibition of re-
markable strength of jaw and fist at
the Office of Richard X. Fox. says the
\. \. Times. He goes by the name of
Oscar +. Skitf, and brought with him
several iron bars of from one-half to
three quarters of IN inch in diameter.
Taking hold of one of the bars with
one hand. he bent it by striking it
against the palm of the other. He
bent another bar by striking it upon
the ilcshy part of the forearm. He
then selected the thickeSt of the bars,
which he seized ut the middle with his
teeth. Then. holding the two ends in
his hands. Skitf gave a mighty pull
downward. His face grew red aud his
head tremblcd. but the bar remained
tightly clenched between his teeth as
in a vice. 1t bent slightly. Another
tug. and it bent still more, and third
effort bent the rod To an angle of some
80 degrees. The spectators who every
second expected to see either teeth or
jaw give way. asked him 10 stop that
sort of thing. Then Skitf bent fourth
bar by striking it across his thighs
He then lifted up two men OF COM
bined weight of 1 10 pounds simultane-
ously. Each man straddled one of
Skiif's arms. Had the polished office
floor not been SO slippery Skitf said
that he could have lifted a third man
on his neck ut the same time. As it
was. he did lift man weighing POO
pounds with his neck. The last feat
that Skitf performed was to smash two
boards. each CT nearly an inch in
thickness, nailed together. Two blows
of his fist broke them clean through.
There is hardly any development of
muscle in Skiff's biceps. but his fore
arms are very well developed. rs well
