A Depot Incident.

Manv tender little incidnets are wit
messed by the officials about the union
depot. Something happened last night
that caused a number OF people to turn
their heads Some of them We're smil-
ing when they looked. Some of them
were not smiling when they turned
their heads back the other
way. Perhaps a tender chord
was touched in somebody's breast: may
be a tender thought of a dead mother
worked it's way up through the dead
leaves and mold of years of busy life
and forgetfulness. 1t was only gray
haired, toll worn old woman, grown
wrinkled with the cares of three score
years or mOre-an old mother, likely a
farmers wife or widow, She was hug
ging to her throbbing breast a big, tall,
beared bOy-well, hardly boy, as he
must have been full p. The big tears
were chasing one another down the
deep burrows of her faded cheeks, bnt
there was happiness beaming from every
lineament Of her features. She drew
the big fellow to her breast again and
again, while he kissed the tears from
the old cheek; kissed her with an ardOr
that any young maid OF seventeen might
think adorable in lover. They were
dearer to each other then lovers.
On down the platform fingered anoth-
er young man who seemed to be con-
nected with the mother and her son.
He carried valise and kept looking
back toward the couple. approached
him and in answer to a question, he
said: Yes, they are my mother and
brother" Have they been separated a
long time? Well yes, long for them,
very long. It's only five weeks, though.
but you see, they lived on the farm and
never we're apart week at time be-
fore. You see it goes hard with mother
to be away from ner boys"
They stopped several times to embrace
before they passed around the baggage
room and reached the cable cars.-Kan

Farm Butter,

A large proportion of all the Door
butter sold for grease is made on the
farm. 1t is too bad that the over
worked farmer and the still more over
worked wife should waste good milk
and hard labor in this way. There is
practical remedy for it in a reform in
the way of marketing. All this butter
is swapped, in the first place, at the
cross roads or village store for Goldfish.
calico. molasses or something else that
the family need. The merchant takes
it because he has to in order to hold
trade, That is all wrong. The cOun-
try store is not a butter market any
more than il is pig iron market. Man
ufacturers OF pig iron always sell their
product in pig iron market, The
farmer must sell his butter in a butter
market. Two things will grow out OF
it. !. II his butter is well made and
well packed he will get the worth OF it.
>. II it is not we'll made and well packed
he will hear of it right away. The mar
ket will begin to educate him. The
country merchant cannot tell him the
faults of his butter even if he knew
them. for he cannot afford to give Of
fense. But where will we find but
ter MARKET" says some reader. Any
large city is butter market. Select
some reputable commission merchant
be careful about thiS-then write him
letter, get his ideas Of how the butter
should be packed for his market, then
ship to him as fast as made, by express.
Don't hold the cream more than two or
three days; churn often and ship the
butter when it is fresh and sweet. Get
to butter market at once. Buy your
goods of the country merchant, but
never sell him your butter, for he is
rarely, il ever, situated to do justice By 1t.
We have seen hundreds OF farmers
changed from timid, halting, and sus-
picious men into bright, clear-headed
business men just by the education that
comes from dealing with business men
commission merchants in business
like way. The farmer, as a rule, is a
poor market man. The reason is, he
refuses to give himself any market edu-
cation. Depend upon it, in the long
run, this method of selling butter will
give much better results in cash and
will bring a lot of valuable educa tiOn in
the art OF good buttermaking. In 1870
there were but two men in Jefferson
county, Wis, who made their butter
and sold it with good sense in this SEN
sible way. We worked hard to effect a
reform, and in 1885 over fiteen hundred
farmers were sending their butter to
Chicago commission men by express.
The business grew, so that at Fort
Atkinson the shipments by express in
creased from comparatively nothing
to over one ton day at times. Always
sell butter in butter market.-Gov-
ernor Hoard in the Inter-Ocean.

The Reformer Hedging.

We are not much given TO betting. but we
are willing to wager cookie that within three
months the republican papers will yell in our
ears that the price of tin has declined.
The truth is the price will 90 down because
the supply exceeds the demand. and this lower
price means that sore one is either ruined or
on the edge of ruin.-The New Y rk Herald.
1t is:not very long since the Herald
left off '-whoOping up Mckinley prices
and filling up its editorial columns with
daily denials that the price of anything
could be other than higher under the
Mckinley tariff. Tin above all things.
it said, would soar. under the influence
of the new law, taxing the laborer's din
nerpail putting up prices o. canned goods
and making it harder for the poor to
live. But actual results are smashing
its theories to smithereens, as the Her
aid has sense enough to see. 1t also
recognizes the necessity of setting itself
right before its readers, who have been
taught to look for advancing prices
only. Hence its discreet hedge in an
ticipation of the drop in the price OF
tin, which it knows is inevitable under
the new duty.
The protectionist will have reason to
yell when the price OF tin actually sinks
instead of soaring. For the Herald
said it would soar. n it does not, the
Herald was wrong and tried to deceive
its readers. This is the fact which the
protectionist yells will enforce. II
makes no difference what causes the
drop if only it actually comes. In a.
fering an explanation of the phenome,
non the Herald only explains how il
came to make false assertions and wild
predictions and emphasizes anew the
untrustworthiness of its economic teach
ings.-New York Press.

The Cow. the Hook and the Line.

Every one has heard of the goat liv-
ing on tomato cans and hoop skirts.
They have also heard of horses fed on
fence stakes. But it remains for an
east side COW to try to subsist on fish
hooks. corks and lines. The way Of it
was this: Some lone fisherman who
had been angling in returning home set
his pole hook and line over a fence
while he was doing something else.
While he was away a COW in the
lot found the anglcis paraphesnalia
and got it down on the ground. The
next move was to investigate the thing
and then to swallow the hook. The
line followed this. the sinkers and cork
going down as they were reached. Here
a halt was necessarily made. What
else might have happened is hard to
conjecture, but when found the COW
was evidently wondering what the pes
XIV business was. There was but one
solution of the difficulty-to cut the
line from the pole and and let it GO.
This was done and now further develop
n.ents are awaited with interest by the
owners of the COW. The line, cork and
sinkers are all right, but what OF the
hook?-Fort Scott Monitor.

entirely retain their original Latin
