Blunders.

Happy is he who, making blunder,
can gracefully "get out of it," We
will leave the reader to judge for them
selves. whether the "blunder' Of the
following incident got out gracefully
or not.
When / was young. very distinctly
remember hearing a mason, whom
father had hired, to plaster our house,
tell of u very funny occurance that
happened sway back in the sixties. "
A rich old farmer in Ohio had con-
cluded to discard his old log house,
and have fine frame house built His
building had been somewhat delayed
in the summer, and the middle of De-
tober found him having the plastering
done. for which this same mason was
hired to do.
This old farmer, Deacon Brown, had
ayoung son, who thoughthimself quite
beau amongst the country lasses. So
he invited Mr.. Kelly, the mason, to
accompany him over to neighborJohn-
sons to spend the evening, and on the
way he very cOnfidentially told Mr.. X,
that Belle johnson was his "best
girl"
Mr.. K. said he found the familyvcry
sociable and pleasant. and owing to
having supper to get for the corn
huskprs, they were just in the midst
of preparations for supper. Young
Browns "best girl was frying buck
wheat cakes, and Mr.. Kelly thought he
did not wonder Mt Browns wanting
her for his best girl, as she was indeed
a handsome girl, and being u single
man. he might have been taking more
notice Of the cooking than he other
wise would. and thereby he would not
have seen the poor girls accident,
She had her pan Of chatter" sitting
on one side of the fireplace, and in try
ing to fix something that hung on u
crane over the fire, she set one foot
slump into the pan of batter. Mr.
Kelly said he was very much amused,
and expecte to see her blush aud be
very much confused, but instead she
took the knife she had been turning
her cakes with, and leaning against
the fireplace, scraped the batter of
her shoe into the pan again, as uncon.
eerned MS though it was an every day
eccurance, and quietly proceeded to
bake her cakes.
Mr. X said the thoughts Of having
his breakfast cakes served up to him
in such n style (P) through life was
more than he could bear, and that ! G
quietly withdrew his intentions of en-
tering the field against Fred Brown,

That She Goose.

The first cars little Dana ever saw,
was when the railroad went through
the little town where he lived in Da-
kota. He was always muchinterested
in the 'Ted ear hitched behind" One
day he said to his mamma: "Oh ma, I
do wish | had Il she goosel'" Awhatp
said mamma. "Why she goose, so
1 could go to grandma'S house" But
his mamma could not think what on
earth he could mean. After awhile
the freight train came in, and he
rushed so the door and cried: INA,
ma, quick, come here quick; here is a
she goose" And then his mamma
knew he had meant the cabosse that is
always the last car in a freight train.

The government land office has
reversed its own decision of recent
date, which was against the interests
Of the settlers on Mile Laes lands,
and it will be possible to relieve the
settlers by the passage of the Wash
burn bill. Had the decision remained
in force the Washburn bill would
not accomplish the justice intended.
The settler is always sure Of justice
from the national government. 1t is
hoped the law and the department
will place the title Of the settlers
beyond any question.
