mt and Sign Painting.

In Europe old signs and %signboards have
proved an attractive subject for more than
one author, but in our rapidly growing
country we hardly find the material for
such antiquarian studies. Yet even our
essentially modern signs may be found in
teresting in many respects. The changing
styles, variation of materials used, the
Identification of certain styles of signs
with certain kinds of business, queer COM
binations Of names and ludicrous blunders,
and, to a certain extent, even the individ-
uality of the sign painter-all this aa1
more, too, may be noticed by those inter.
ested in the subject.
AS to the matter of real artistic talent
as shown in the painting of signs, it is in
teresting to note that we find in the annals
OF art not a few cases of artists who were
compelled through circumstances to take
to this 'branch of art" at least temporari-
ly. In former times artists even in such
work probably found a certain scopefor
the exercise Of their abilities. A few such
cases occur in the history of American art,
the best known being Matthew Pratt, of
Philadelphia, well known in his day as q
portrait painter, who, having a family to
support, honestly turned his hand in in
,ervals of leisure to the production of tav-
ern signs and banners for political conven-
tions.-New York Times.
A Great Crow
The best hawk scarer and fighter we ever
had on the farm was a tame crow that we
called Mig. Father had taught the crow
to fight with the ROSTERS, and he had sent
to the city and got a pair of steel gaffs for
for him. Mig was always on the alert for
hawks, and if he saw one lowering over
the farm buildings he made for it and
knocked it about in the air until it steered
for the peak, when Mig would come sailing
home with a song of triumph. After father
had got Mig we'll trained in the use of the
steel spurs he left them on the crow in the
daytime while the chickens and turkeys
were small.
While the family was at dinner one day
we heard a terrific screaming out in the
meadow. We all rushed out, and there
was Mig and a mammoth hawk in a lively
conflict. The crow was jabbing his steel
spurs into the hawks head like a game
cock, and he was making it so hot for the
hawk that it didn't rise three feet from
the stubble before Mig hit it a clip in the
head and downed it again. Mig killed the
hawk in a short time, and a few days
afterward he drove another one into the
top Of an apple tree and spurred it to

samp1es for the world,s Fair

James H. Marshall has been author
lied by the executive manager of the
Worlds Fair to begin at once the collec-
ton OF grasses and grain in Burleigh
county and he starts out on his mission
at once. The basement of the old cold
storage house built by Marquis de
Mores has been secured to store the
grasses and Mr.. Ma1shall says it is an
excellent place-dry and cool. Probably
no other section Of the state contains such
9 variety OF excellent and nutritious ma
tive grasses as the Missouri slope and

are excellent. His ancestors fought in the
generals commission.
Mr.. keim is a cousin of the late receiver
of the Reading railroad, and of ex-Sheriff
Keim, of Philadelphia. He has a fine look
ing wife and an interesting pair of chill
dren, both of whom give great promise as
musicians.
The Socialistic nominee for governor of
New Jersey is thirty-eight years old. He
was born in Reading, Pa, where he lived
until he was twenty years old, serving his
time meanwhile as an ornamental house
painter and decorator. He got married
soon after in Philadelphia, and made his
home in the Quaker City for fourteen
years. He removed to Elizabeth about
four years ago. He worked in the latter
place at his trade until the beginning of
the present year, when he determined to
strike out for himself, and accordingly
opened an establishment of his own.
Mr.. Keim of course had no hope of be-
ing elected. He thus explains some matters
in connection with the movement which
may be of interest: "There are about
5000 active members of the party in the
state and perhaps three times that many
sympathizers. We expect to poll from TO-
600 to $1,000 votes at the next election. l
have been selected us the party's standard
bearer because l have been very actively
identified with the movement for the past
ten years and fully understand it's princi-
Piles. Our chief object in putting a ticket
in the field this year is to test our strength
and also to educate the masses of the peo-
pie to a better knowledge of what the real
meaning Of socialism is. 1t will also give
us an idea what the outlook will be for
u party as a political power in the fu-
ture.
1.-THE socialists will not run any candi-
date for president, their highest aim being
the ~governorship. We have no sympathy
or utilization with anarchists, and that is
where the American people make a big
mistake When they connect us with these
rabid revolutionists. We want a better
system of government than that under
which we are now living-one that will be
fairer In its actions toward the working
men. We believe in legislation to reform
existing abuses, and think that in a few
years our party will be strong enough at
the ballot box to command the respect of
the old parties and to help them bring
about a better order Of things. Our views
are fully set forth in the platform adopted
last year by the American Socialistic La
Dor party and which I heartily indorse."

the different counties. All of the session
was consumed in a discussion of the real
estate values, but nothing was done Of
fcially. 1t was noted that most of the
counties of the state have endeavored to
return the property in practically the
same values as fixed by the state board
two years ago. An effort is being made
to take some county for a valuing basis
and then raise or lower the others to this
standard. The matter will probably come
up officially this morning at 10 o'clock,

On motion they were referred to the

The mayor then prefaced the intro
duction of an ordinance with the remark
that there we're known to exist common
%nuisances in the city, and that an ordi-
nance had been prepared, with the pur-
pose of causing their removal. The
ordinance, which appears officially pub
lished in another column, was then read,
and placed on it's passage.
Alderman Cunningham expressed a
desire to know whether the ordinance
referred to "blind pigs"
The mayor said it was not especially
so intended, but that "blind pigs" were
common nuisances, and that if they
were discovered to exist, the officers of
the law must do their duty.
On it's final passage, there were seven
ayes and no nays, and the ordinance was
thus passed.
The question of the penning of 800
sheep in the city was then discussed.
Complaints in regard to this matter have
been received and the clerk was in
~structed to notify the chief of police to
look into the matter and report.

for the purpose of allowing the commit
tee on claims to examine bills and report.

Pillsbury on the Wheat Yield.
The following is the opinion of Cbas.
A. Pillsbury, the great Minneapolis
miller:
Advices l nave received from the north
west are that the wheat crop is spotted.
In some PLACES it is good and in others
very bad. Hot weather, rust, blight and
various other causes have injured the
crop. With good weather from now until
harvesting, and no frost in North Dakota,
and northern Minnesota, my people advise
me that there is an extreme possibility
that the yield will amount to 10000, 900
bushels, against 100, OOO 1000 last year. With
unfavorable weather and early frosts in
the Dakotas and the northern part of my
state, this estimate would be greatly d.
minished. +
People, however, should bear in mind
that last years crop was phenomenal.
being 50,OOO,00O bushels above the average.
This helped hundreds Of farmers pay off
their mortgages, and they are now in fine
shape. My opinion is that they will not be
free sellers at a low price, as they are for
the first time IN a position to hold their
wheat until a higher figure is reached.
