Ahead of Tine.

Thousands of every -daythings would be mysteries to us, only that we hap pen to be in the secret of them. Now and then something happens, either to us or to our nelghbors, to make us aware of this fact.
 A lady went to photographer in Birmingham, Ct, according to the New Haven Palladium, and sat for her picture. The next day she ap peared again for the proof, which was given her in the photographer busi- ness envelope, in the corner of which was printed, return after five days to-, Birmingham, Ct.
 She kept the proof much longer than customersusuallydo, and the pho tographer remarked the fact, because she had told him that she was in special haste.
 On the fourth day she came to the studio, and apologlzed for being one day ahead of time She had business in town that day, she explained, and so ventured to anticipate his appoint ment.
 It took the photographer twenty four hours to see that she had taken the tive-day return notice as fixing the date when the pictures would be done which shows that he was as dull as his customer.

New England people, like al seri- ious, tenacious bodies, are apt to be rather "sot" in their ways. What should we do if the sun rose in the west?" said one good old dame of Puritan stock, who was much given to like reflections, "I expect 'twould make us awful homesick, it's such a nat'ral place to look for it in the east"
 Another good woman was listening one day with intense interest to her daughters account of long stay in Italy. The different customs of life were touched upon, and when the mar rator paused.

THE BOY HERO.

Tn heartless Paris, which to foreign eyes Seems made of mirrors, gas-light and dis
 play A splendid buildings walls began to rise, Ascending stone by stone from day to day. High and more high the pile was builded
 well,
 And scores of laborers were busy there, When suddenly fragile staging fell, And two strong workmen swung aloft in
 air, Suspended by their hand to one slight hold, That bent and creaked beneath their sud
 den weight; One worn with toil and growing gray and
 old;
 One mere boy just reaching mans estate Yet with heros soul Alone and young, Were it not well to yield his single life, On which no parent leaned, no children
 clung,
 And save the other to his babes and wifeP He saw that ere delivcrance could be
 brought
 The frail support they grasped must sure
 ly break, Aud in that shuddering moments flash of
 thought
 He chose to perish for his comrades sake. With bravery such as heroes seldom knowe "Tis right he said, and loosing his
 strong grip, Dropped like stone upon the stones below And lay there dead, the smile still on
 his lip What though no laurels grow his gray,
 above,
 And OCT his name no sculptured shaft
 may rise? To the sweet spirit of unselfish love. Was not his life a glorious sacrifice? Elizabeth Akers in Harpers Young eople

The county commissioners seem to as
sumo powers not delegated to them un-
der the statutes. The following resolu-
ton was passed at the recent session in
St. Cloud:
Resolved, By the Board of County Com
missioners of Stearns County, Minnesota,
that the County Auditor notify all JUS
tices of the Peace in said county not to
institute any criminal proceedings unless
they first either get the consent of the
County Attorney for the issuance of a
warrant or obtain security for costs from
the parties complaining therein.
The statutes relating to the matter
says; "The justice may requirel OF. the
complainant to give secutity for costs,
and if he refuses the justice may dismiss
the complainant"
The matter of demanding security sis
one of the judicial powers of the court,
and the county commissioners have no
more authority in the premises than they
would have In directing the justice to
give judgment to the defendant in every
case brought before him. Every case
stands upon its own merits, and it is
presumed by the law that the justice will
use sound discretion in the matter. If
this order should be observed the ends OF
Justice would be defeated and any num-
Der OF criminals would be allowed to go
UNPUBLISHED because the complainant
was unwilling or unable to furnish
bond.

The combination of the harvester and
mower trust, which was composed of all
the leading manufacturers in the country
-some thirty or forty in all, represent
ing capital Of s35, 100000. The OBJ
ject of this gigantic combination was
never very clearly defined, and there was
naturally vast amount OF speculation
as to the effect upon the agricultural in
terests of the country. Such an aggre-
CATION of capital, it was felt, could exer-
else oppressive power of it desired. and
there was streng undercurrent of pop
ular feeling against the Mayement.
Competition for the sale of machines
would be stopped, and while that would
not be an unmixed evil, yet it gave OPP
portunity for arbitrary dealings which
would prove detrimental to the purchas-
ing class, A number of meetings were
held, but only the yagqest rumors found
their way into public print. II was
claimed that there would be such great
saving in expenses of business, amount
ing to millions of dollars, that the COM
bination could and would sell machines
for less money and at uniform price,
than curreat quotations. This was fol-
lowed by the startling anHonncement
that the first action of the combination
had been an advance in the price of har-
vesters, adding twenty-five dollars. A
few days later came the still more start
ling, but altogether pleasant news that
the combinations had dissolved, and that
no further effort would be made to COM
bine or pool the business, but that mat
tiers would proceed along the old lines.
And such is the case. The reason alleg-
ed is that the combination was illegal
and would not be permitted to do bust
ness in several states. There are all
/ sorts of rumors afloat relative to inter
nal dissensi9ns which caused the aban-
donment of the enterprise-byt if il
enough to know that it has been ahan.
doped, and the machinery trust died in
its early infancy.

Congressman Comstock came up from
Washington on Saturday evening on
business at his home in .Moorhead. He
expected to return at once, that he may
be present when the free coinage silver
bill comes up for consideration. He is
opposed to the bill, and may be relied
upon to vote against it. He sees no
good reason why the silver barons ofthe
mining states should be allowed to take
seventy cents worth of bullion to the
mints and have it converted into a
standard dollar. He is right.
