Furnish me with a sheet, show me the
room, and 60 to your rest, Barbara.
You shall find me at the post in the
morning"
Barbara did as required and saw
the tanner step blithely away to his
task. 1t was then nearly IL o'clock
and she sought her own chamber.
Barney was sitting at his vigil and
50 far all had been we'll.
The face in the coffin cleaned winter
through the darkness. The rats
squeaked as. if famine were upon
them and they smelled dead flesh.
The thought made him shudder. He
got up and walked about, but some
thing made q slight noise, as if some
body was behind him, and he put his
chair with its back against the wall,
and sat down again. He had been
hard at work all day, and at last, in
spite OF everything, he grew sleepy.
Finally he nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody
had touched him. He awoke with q
start, and saw nobody near, though
in the center of time room stood a
white figure.
Course you, get out of this!'' he ex-
claimed, using the first words that
came to his tongue.
The figure held up it's right arm and
Slows approached him. He started
to his feet. The spectre came nearer,
pressing him into the corner.
1.-The d take you'll" cried Barney,
in his extremity. -.
Involuntarily he stepped back; still
the figure advanced, coming nearer
and nearer, and extending both arms,
as if to take him in a CHASTITY embrace.
The hair started upon Barney's head;
| he grew desperate, and just as the
| cleaning arms would have touched
him he fell upon the ghost like awhirl-
wind, tearing off the sheet, humping
pounding, beating, and kicking, more
he met, which told him the truth.
AS the reader knows he was big and
Fritz was little, and while he was
pommeling the little tanner unmerci-
fully and Fritz was trying in vain to
get a lunge at Barney's stomach, to
take the wind out OF him, both plung-
ing and kicking like horses, they were
petrifed at hearing a voice cry:

So she manned him, and, though she
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to
the wedding, they did mot appear. Il
they discovered the trick they kept the
knowledge to themselves, and never
willingly faced Barbara s laughing eyes

ONE HEARTS ENOUGH FOR NE.

One hearts enough for me-
One heart to love, adore
One heart enough for me,
o, who could wish for more?
The birds that soar above,
And sing their songs on high;
Ask but for one to love,
And therefore should not I?
One pair of eyes to gaze
One pair of sparkling blue,
In which sweetlove betrays
Her form of fairest hue;
One pair of glowing cheeks,
Fresh as the rose and fair, ..-..
Whose crimson blush bespeaks
The health that's native there.
One pair ofhands to twine
Loves flowers fair and gay,
And form wreath divine, %
Which never can decay;
And this is all ask, ... ..
One gentle form and tair,
Ben cath whose smiles to bask,
And learn loves sweetnes there.

Short Butter
Dogs and Their Fleeoy Victims.

Butter is made in a peculiar way in
California, but is sold in still more
eccentric fashion. The buttermaker
always turns it out in round
rolls about a half-foot in length, sup
posed to weigh two pounds. The
dealer sells it by the roll and charges
for two pounds, but the roll always
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1891-07-02

lacks from six to eight ounces OF full
weight, This thing has been going on
for years to the loss of the consumer,
and without profit to any one except
the mlddeman. The latter buys butter
by the pound, and sells it by the roll,
SO ne makes a clear profit on the
short weight When a man handles
several tons of butter q day this
makes a large item, for on each roll
he will make from eight to ten cents,
or at least 500 on every ton. The
dalryman can't prevent this, as, if
they made butter in good two-pound
rolls, no commission man would
handle it. What the butter-makers
propose to do is to establish an hon
est mould for the rolls and then sell
their butter themselves in cooper
alive market. This will also run out
the oleomargarine which is sold by
many dealers as frst-class butter

Mans Treatment Of the Horse.
OF late years thanks largely to anti
cruelty societies, the horse has been
less abused than was formerly the
case. But let any one, and especially
any one who may have fancy for
the human race, consider what awful
arrears of cruelty to dumb animals
have accrued at it's hands. Let him
think of the horses that have been
balted to death, as bulls are baited;
let him think Of the unspeakable rem
edies that have been applied by ignor-
ant farriers and grooms, such as the
forcing OF ground glass into the ami
mails eye; let him think of the horses
that have been whipped sound" in
coaches and heavy wagons-that is,
compelled by the lash to travel chiefly
on three legs, one being disabled, until
the overwrought nerves gave out en-
tirely; let him think of the agonies
that have been inflicted by beating
and squirting, of the heavy loads that
a vast army of painfully lame. OF dis
eased, and even of dying horses have
been forced to draw. Let him take
but one glance at the history Of the
human race in this respect, and one,
perhaps, at his own heart, and then
declare if it be not true, as was once
remarked, imam deserves hell, were
it only for his treatment OF horses.''-

A Good Way to Go.

A certain farmer had an orchard OF
very choice apple-trees, which was
often visited by youthful raiders, who
were fonder Of apples than of honesty.
On one night, when the farmer was
watching in a secluded spot for some
OF the suspected thieves, he was
astonished to see, proceeding cautious
ly in the direction of his favorite
apple-trees, the well-known son of a.
neighbor.
"Hey, Jack" cried the farmer, In
surprise, "where are We goin' to, my
lad?"
Jack stopped abruptly, in utter
dismay. Then he turned and started
for the gate. "Going back, SIR" he
shouted. -

Going Early.

Punctuality is perhaps a character
istic American trait. At all events,
American tourists abroad are given to-
bewailing the dilatory ways of other
peoples. How early this characters
tic is sometimes developed connec-
ton, too, with the American habit of
traveling-is pleasantly illustrated in
a little story printed in Golden Days
A small, rosy-checked girl picked up
her doll and her dolls trunk, and
trudged mile or more over frosty
roads until she reached a railway sta
ton. There she boarded the first:
train that came along, and contented-
ly settled herself and her doll into a,
vacant seat.

He looked down at the little woman,
who was pointing out flying trees and
other objects of interest to her travel

''Perhaps you had better 60 home
and ask your mother" suggested the
conductor.

pretty things by interested fellow-pas-

safety. We may reasonably expect
that she will be among the first visit

In Memoriam---Ida F. Remington.

Ida F., wife of Elmore Remington, was
born in Livingstone county, Illinois, on
December %. 1867. Her parents were
Henry and Emma Boyer. When Ida
was four years old her parents moved to
Kansas for her health, as she was
sickly child. While in Kansas her
father died, and Mrs Boyer was subse-
quently married to Mr.. E. M. Haworth.
Finding no relief in Kansas, the family
in 1879 removed to Washington, where
she began to improve, and finally, in
1880, they moved to Camas Prairie. in
Idaho, where they have ever since re-
sided. She was married to E. s. Rem
ington OF February l6, 1888, and leaves
her husband and five children to mourn
for her. The sympathy of the commu-
nifty is with the bereaved ones in the
irreparable loss they have sustained.

A RAILROAD MEETING.
EcerybOdy Who Wants to See u
Railroad on Cdnds Prairie
Neact Year. Should attend
The Raiir0dd Meeting on
September 10, 1891.

The outlook for a railroad
to Camas Prairie in the imme-
diate future depends largely
upon the interest shown by
the people. Matters generally
are now in such shape, and the
future is so promising, that it
is thought the time has come
for the farmers and land own
ers of Camas Prairie to take
advantage ofthe circumstances
which now favor them and
make an effort to induce spec
dy railroad building to this
section. A meeting is there
fore called by many citizens
to meet at Grange hall at 7
o'clock on the evening of Sat
urday, September 10, 1891, to
discuss the situation and ar
range for a series of mass meet
lngs all over the Prairie at q
later date to determine upon a
definite plan of action. A full
attendance is requested from
every precinct at the Grange
vile meeting, because some
extremely good suggestions
will be presented to this meet
ing which will be worthy of
serious consideration. We be-
lieve that the time has come
for the people here to make
the lnitiatory move. Wo pe-
lieve, further, that good will
come of it. Come out, every
body, and hear the suggestions
and propositions that will be
discussed at the meeting.

A Little Growl From Warrens.

private letter from Warrens says
that the camp is dnller this summer
than it has been for many years, and
that there are but very few prospectors
in the entire Warrens basin this season.
Our correspondent attributes the falling
off of prospectors to the actions of lot
of people who came in from the other
side" two or three years ago, and pas-
tered location notice ON every piece of
float quartz in the camp, and the res uIt
is that bona fide prospectors and mining
men have been completely frozen out
of the camp. We publish this state
ment for what it is worth. Our cores.
pondent speaks hopefully of the future
of the camp, and says that every mine
which is being worked is looking better
than ever. 1t is the opinion of the
editor of the F. 2. that the present dull
season in Warrens is the calm before
the period of activity that will ensue
when the wagon road is completed At
present, every enterprise in that section
is hanging fire, waiting for the wagon
road to be completed.
