Farmers Alliance in this state is not
what It used to be, ut least in this re-
gion. A year ago, whenever meet

the way farmers for miles around

now all is changed. No longer do
the farmers await with anxiety the
buglc call Of their leaders, and when
sounded flock zealously to the meet

for a meeting of tho Alliance men,
and great preparations we're made to
house the vast number which it was
expected would be present; yet not
enough assembled to hold a meeting.

The Captains Revenge,

=
Captain Mehun, of the P. and O. 8. N.
sompany, was thoroughly good fellow,
beloved alike by his officers and crew.
His passengers both liked and respected
him. He had always kind word for
everybody, but he never forgot to give a
Roland for I'm Oliver when called
upon to do so.
I remember during one voyage there
was lady passenger on board who was
very fond Of making nasty remarks ap-
parently to herself, but just loud enough
to be heard by everybody present. One
day at dinner Captain Mehun was cary
ing a very nice saddle of mutton, and,
sailorike, he certainly carved with
rather heavy hand. When o plate
was handed to this lady, who will call
Lady M, she said to herself (but in a
tone loud enough for everybody to hear),
"A cartload? How detest CARLOAD. "
Everybody looked at Captain Mehun,
who had heard Lady Ms remark as
well as the rest of the company. He
took no notice, however. but continued
sailors yarn be had been relating as if
he had heard nothing. After short
time, seeing that Lady Nj had nearly
emptied her plate, Captain Mehun said
in very persuasive tone:
''This is really delicious saddle
Then addressing Lady M, continued
II have very prime cut here. Pray
allow me to give your ladyship u small
piece more"
THANK you, Captain Mehun," replied
Lady M. "As you say, it is very
nice. think you may give me thu
smallest piece more"
Steward" said Captain Mehun, in
stantly. "be so kind and back Lady
Us cart up again, if you please"
This remark simply sent the company
into fits Of laughter, much to the dis
comfort of Lady NJ. Verify, Captain
Mehun had his revenge.-Tid-Bits.

Minneapolis Times; The farmers
Of the Northwest would. do we'll to
worry less over legislation calculated
to cripple the railroads and devote
more attention to the task Of improv.
ing the country highways. The i'm.
portance to the farmers Of good roads
can hardly be overesotmated, and it
is gratifying to notice that the subjec'
is receiving increasing attention in var
ious parts Of the country. AS hereto-
fore stated in the Times, there is bill
before the Pennsylvania Legislature
appropriating 100000 f"r making
aud mending roads, and in New Jer-
sey an act authorizing localities to
issue bonds for road improvement has
proved so beneficial that another act
has been passed, extending State aid
to those communities in need of such
assistance, and it is now proposed to
construct two great state highways,
the one from north to south, the other
from east to west, at \ cost Of from
100000 to 100000. The same
has been recommended for New York
by Gov. Hill. The Boston Globe
urges New England manufacturers, as
we'll as the farmers to combine for

provement Of our country roads. u

farmers and road workers have mad,
three miles Of macadam road, eighteen
feet wide, with the macadam ane
gravel eighteen inches thick in tn,
middle, and substantial bridges wher
ever needed. The cost has been les
than 81 900 a mile, and the road ono,
built in this solid and thorough fash
ion, can be maintained in serviceabl,
repair at a much lower annual cos
than the common dirt roads, many d
which have to be practically made

The farmers of Minnesota ought t,

There is a decided demand for bette

1t now seems that no very unfavor-

this year in Minnesota 1t is hardly
probable that the Searle bill will pass
the first house, as it hardly goes as
far in the way Of railroad control as
most Of the members seem to like.
The bill does little more than to rem
der effective the legislation now on
the statute books. For the interests
Of the state, it is the railroad law that
should be passed this year. The
