OVER THE RANGE.

Over beyond yon mountain range,
That dim, blue, spreading line,
There lies a country wondrous strange,
A country that is mine.
You may have crossed that highest peak,
But. prithee, tell it not;
The spell may vanish if you speak
OF that enchanted spot.
When was young and full of dreams,
And watched the red sun set,
thought I caught the golden CLEANS
Ofrounded minaret.
OF tower, and of tapering spire,
Reflected in the skies,
Then thought Thought lit by desire),
Beyond some city lies.
When twilight faded into night,
And DER the heated earth
Blew Southland zephyr, cool and light,
Which walked new dreams to birth,
And on the breeze a fragrance'few
That fingered in the air,
This sweet conclusion then drew
The Land of Flowers is there.
Now youth has gone-ny other dreams
Have faded into naught;
But with the golden sunset streams
Still lives one youthful thought;
And fairyland my musing fills
1t may not, may not be-
But yet beyond that range of hills
will not go to see.

Widespread interest has been aroused
in the subject of cruelty to animals at
sea, declares the New York Press, by the
exposures of Mr.. William Hosea Ballou.
The Montreal Star states that he aroused
discussions in the Canadian Ministry as
well as on both sides of the Atlantic, and
gave rise to question of international
importance. Here is British newspaper
which indorses his attitudes toward
British sea captains. The English Gov
ernment promptly took hold of the
charges made by Mr. Ballou and is fer
reting out the.ofenders who are its sub

says horse-car conductors the world over
are well informed and affable as a rule.
Frank Vincent, the great South American
explorer, says he has found women in
strange lands more courteous than men.
Mungo Park had, of course, one exper-
lence at least which must have led him
to an opinion similar to Mr.. Vincent's.
But what is one to think of those travel
ers, asks the Atlanta Constitution, when
Mrs. French Sheldon declares that the
native men were kind and the native wo-
men she met in Africa forbidding and

said more than once that she could
travel all round the world unmolested
but for her own sex2

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Why should farmers attend the COM
ing Farmers Institute? Because there
are topics to be discussed of vital i'm
portance to every farmer tilllng an acre
of land. Mr.. Convey will discuss ma
nure and fertility, and as he has visited
US before, you are well aware that he is
a success in anything he undertakes, and
has made the science of farming a life
clover hay. He had on exhibition at
the Plover Institute, the finest sample
of cured clover | ever saw anywhere.
He will explain to you how he success
fully cures that hay. Mr. J. NJ. Smith
is acknowledged authority on potato
growing, and has no equal in the state.
To stay away from the institute and
miss to hear him is something you can
not we'll afford to do. It will cost you
years of hard toll and experience to
learn what Mr.. Smith will tell you.
Noxious weeds, by Mr. Cole. this
subject comes home to every farmer.
There are laws in our Statute books that
make it obligatory for every one to
keep them clear of their premises, and
how many farmers insthis county knows
them when they see them. Their
fields may be over run by them and
ignorant of the fact Mr. Cole has dried
specimens he will exhibit to you, ex-
planning their nature, and will also tell
you how to get rid of them. There
were lands IN Dane county that depri-
Gated 25 per cent. in value owing to
these pests, the cost of harvesting was
largely increased, and it became neces-
sary to have stringent laws enacted as a
protection against greater loss. Mr..
Coles talk on sheep is worth more to
you that raise sheep, than all the time
you sasrIfce in attending. He has had
forty years ofexperience in the business.
Do not miss being present to hear him.
Prof. Gaynor has very interesting
subject, entitled, how plants grow.
Those of you who heard him two years
ago went home we'll paid. and his talk
was pronounced by those capable of
Judging, one of the best Of the whole
course.
Mr.. Wylie, and the balance that make
up the programme, you all know, and
it is safe to say is the best talent we
have ever had on any former occasion.
Then don't fail to come, and bring your
wives, sons and daughters. 1t will cost
you nothing. Remember the invita-
tons is extended to those in the cities
and villages, as well as in the country,
if you come you will be sure to learn
something of importance and usefulness
to you IN the future. Let us make this
gathering a grand success in every
respect.

h BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE.
/oAN Arbins Home an Ideal Place
10 Lie in Luaz2y and
Comfort.

A visit to this beautiful residence will
convince anyone that nothing has been
omitted in It's construction and erection
that would add to the convenience and
the comfort of its occupants. In the
first place its owner selected one of the
signtliest places in the city for its loca-
ton It overlooks both cities, with an
excellent view of the Wisconsin river
with her rough and ragged rock bottom
and shores, from which our city derives
her name-Grand Rapids. 1t faces the
west and is situated on a high elevation
on the east bank of the river, with a
gradual slope towards the stream, which
provides for excellent drainage. 1t oc
cupies the center of tract of land con-
tanning eleven lots, and faces two streets,
one on the west and one on the north.
The plans and specifications for this
mansion were prepared by Mr.. James
Douglas, of Milwaukee, whose reputa-
ton as an architect is second to none in
the state. The plans call for modern
house in all its appointments which
combines beauty, symetry, and conyen-
ience throughout. The architect lost
sight of none of these points, for its a
thing of beauty on the outside, with its
towers, gabels and projections, all in
perfect symetry, while the internal ar
rangements are perfect.
We here present cut of the resi-
dence which was made from a photo
graph taken by Mr.. j. O. Hebert, our
local artist, which is perfect picture of
the house with the exception of the

How THEY FEEL ABOUT IT.

The Chiffon Times regrets the loss Of
the Wipperman chair factory and com
ments about it, as follows:
Mr.. Chas Wipperman, proprietor Of
the chair factory at the center, informed
The Times reporter. upon his return
flom Grand Rapids, that the necessary
arrangements had been consumated for
the removal of his plant to that city.
The citizens of that enterprising and
wide-awake town know q good thing
when they see it and desired factory
of this nature in their midst. Some
months ago busines men of that city
opened a Correspondence with Mr.. W.
relative to moving his plant there. As
an inducement stock company with a
capital Of $4,000 was organized and
such favorable inducements offered that
Mr.. Wlpperman accepted them. The
plant will be moved in month or six
weeks. In the loss of its chair factory
Chiffon not only Iosesa industry which
was bound to grow and aid materially
in the advancement of our city, but
loses a straightforward, honest and up
/ right business man. Though The Times
greatly regrets the step taken by Mr..
I Wipperman, we wish him success in his
new home.
