There is no better plan for the man
or woman with a moderate income to
save their money than by investing in
building and loan association stock. The
small sum laid by monthly soon amounts
to considerable fund and before one is
aware of it he is a small capitalist. Aside
from this a habit of saving is formed
which of itself is Of incalculable benefit.

An Honor to the Clapp Farm.
A GUEST.

For some months the superintendent Of
the dairy station Of the Minnesota agri-
cultural college has searched throughout
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin for some
specimens Of the full and half blooded
Guernsey cattle. The search was
thorough and complete but unsatisfactory
until the gentleman looked over the CIapp
farm when he selected three choice speci
linens, two full blooded and one half
blooded animals One Of those is the
famous Trixie owned by Hon. r. S.
Houston. A recent analysis of the milk
from this animal shows six per cent butter
fat Thus that honor falls upon the
CIapp farm that its product is looked up
on and chosen as the best in the three states
mentioned above by such ae institution as
that at St Anthony's Park, MINI.

The Somers Suicide.

Not long since Racine paper in speak
ing of the suicide and burial of the unfor
tunate Nelson who hanged himself in a
blacksmith shop at that place some weeks
ago reflected considerably upon the hui
manity and responsibility Of the people
who inferred his remains. It said that
the coffin was far too short for him, we
are informed, and that they took him out
Of the coffin and then threw the coffin on
top of him and then filing up the grave.
We understand from responsible peo-
pie that there is not a particle Of truth in
the statement; that it is falsehood man
ufactured purely for mischieyous pur-
poses. We are told by our informant
that the coffin was too long for him, but
that it was the best that could be done
and that the burial was as respectable as
circumstances permitted.

The Benefit Concert.

The Kindt benefit concert was a success.
both financially and from an artistic
standpoint. Rhodes opera house was
filled with large and fashionable audi
ence who thoroughly appreciated the fine
treat which had been prepared for them.
The Quintette and Mr.. Knorr were at their
best the Loin du bal by the Quintette
and Mr. Knorr's Spring song were easily
the most pleasing numbers to a major
part of the audience. Miss Clara Bose
of Milwaukee, who took two solo num-
bers, appeared i'll at ease, and was either
in poor voice or greatly embarrassed,
her stage presence was not pleasing. We
hope to hear the Quintette again this
season.

Wedding Anniversary.


Old Father Time has moved on another
year, and with its varied changes the an
niversaries of our lives come and go. The
25th Of this month there was very
pleasant gathering in The home Of the
Rev Samuel Cowell on Deming street,
the occasion being a double anniversary
Of the marriage of the Rev. and Mrs.
Cowell and Mr.. and Mrs F. G. Hills,
(sister of Mrs. Cowell.) The charming
October day added much to the enjoy
ment. No trouble was spared in the
elaborate dinner prepared for the occa-
sion. The table was decorated with apple
blossoms picked that day from tree
growing in Mr.. Hills garden, which is a
very unusual occurrence at this season Of
the year. Those present would unite in
wishing these couples all the happiness
this life affords, and with the poet will
say:
Lock beyond. the skies are clearing,
See, the mists dissolves away.
Soon our eyes will catch the dawning
Of a bright. celestial day.
Soon the shadows will be lifted
That around US now are cast;
And rejoicing. We shall gather
Home at last.

There was one incident in the woods
this season." said q North woods guide,
(which was amusing, to say the least.
A wealthy Albanian, who spends his
summers in the vicinity of Lake George,
and who, by the way, enjoys a military
title, came into the woods with great
pomp when deer was in season, and re-
quested that deer be captured for him.
This was done and the animal tied to a
tree. Then the military gentleman, who
is member of a society for the protec-
ton of fish and game, brought his gun
up and blazed away at the tethered ami
NAL. 1t required six shots from the gun
of the Albanian to MORALLY wound the
deer. What do you think of that for
hunting? The guides in the woods when
they heard of the affair vowed they
would lynch the man if he came up
there again. Albany Journal.

A good story is told Of a Chinaman who
is employed as cook in California fam
lily. He recently saw in a confectioner's
window huge cake, on which was u
motto made of frosted sugar. And know
ing that bis master and mistress were very
religious, being especially given to reading
the Bible, he determined to give them a
pleasant surprise by making cake with a
text from the Bible on it. He wasn't very
familiar with the Bible, but he happened
to have some tracts in his room which con-
tanned numerous texts" and he conclud-
ed to use one Of these. So he went to work,
made most beautiful cake, and with
truly oriental patience emblazoned itwith
a text. But the feelings Of the family may
be imagined when John proudly placed his
masterpiece on the table, and they read on
it these words. 'Ye generation of vipers,

No Place Like Home.

Plated with American Armor.

Only two of the competitive armor
tests by the United States had been
made at Indian Head, Nd, when it was
discovered that American made armor
for protecting ships OF the navy was
beyond doubt the best in the world.
Six competing plates were set up to be
shot at in the trials. The three plates at
the second competing trial were each
10t inches thick, feet high and feet
wide. Behind them was 'sbacking" OF
the kind that would be in use when the
plates were employed to cover the sides
Of war vessels.
The difference in the plates used fol-
the trials was one of composition. The
result of the shots proves that an armo1
made of an alloy of nickel and steel
highly carbonized and chilled by the
Harvey cold water jet process of surface
hardening, is the best in the world, and
it iamade here at home in the Bethlehem
iron works, in Pennsylvania
In the best foreign ship armor hereto
fore known the projectile has left a
bulge of five to six inches at the back Of
the plate, where it has not actually pene
trated the backing. In the American
armor the same kind of bulge is only
one-fourth of an inch. The facts dem
onstrated at the Indian, Head trials art
extremely gratifying. The new navy
will now be pushed more rapidly thar
ever. In very short time the United
States will rule all the seas on this side
of the globe, and can dictate her own
policy to European powers on sucl
points as, for instance, ship cana
across the isthmus between North anc
South America.

The secret of Mormon proselyters is

The secret of Mormon proselyters is
not hard to understand. They go among
the poorer classes in Europe and Ameri-
ca, the people to whom plenty is only a
far off dream. The many wived elders
preach to hungry stomachs of Land OF
abundance, where want is unknown, and
where even luxury may fall to the lot OF
the poor man. What wonder the ignorant
flock in droves to the land of promise,
where they find abundance at length, it
is true, but an iron despotism that makes
them work for it whether they will OF
not, and earn it before they get it. The
Mormons are always prosperous wher-
ever they are. This much is to be said
in their favor. They will take the most
unpromising soil and turn it into gar
den by thrift, hard work and good man
agement Shrewdness and industry
would accomplish the same results fol-
the Mormon victims anywhere else il
they had these qualities.

A Canine Hero.

A case illustrating the sagacity of the
canine race has occurred at Jackson,
Miss. Several negro children were play
ing on the banks of Pearl river, near the
bridge, when one of them, Robert Jack
son, boy, about seven years old, slipped
and fell into the water. He was being
borne rapidly away by the current when
his dog, a little black setter, plunged
into the river, and, seizing the child by
the clothing, swan safely to shore with
its heavy burden. The boy was pretty
full of water, but soon recovered and
ran home with his dog following at his
heels.-Cor New Orleans Times-Demo-
