The Twin Phenomena of the Northwest.

Just as the Atlantic cities were sur
prised when Chicago distanced all but
two of them in population, and chal-
lenged all of them by her enterprise,
so will they be astonished again and
from another quarter, if they refuse
to study the forces that are operating
to build up new capitals in the West.
In another ten years there will be
another claim of million population,
and the counting of heads will not
make nonsense of it. The new and
wonderful assumption of metropolitan
importance will be that of the twin
cities of the wheat region-Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul. They may not be
Joined under one name and govern
ment-opinions differ about that-but
all agree that they will jointly possess
a million of population. The last
census credited Minneapolis with
164, 700 population, and St. Paul with
1873, 900, or, jointly, $4,000. At the
time of the preceding census (lsSO)
the two cities included about SO, 900
souls. At that rate of increase they
will boast in 1900 a population of
$4,000 and more. But they insisted
in the summer of 1891 that they pos
sessed more than $4,000 joint popu-
lation, and that the million mark will
be reached before the next census is
taken. Harper's Magazine.

A Big CatamOunt.

Last Wednesday Hugh Carpenter
and Wiley Curtis, with six hounds,
went fox hunting. About 10 o'clock
the dogs treed an animal and on going
up to it found it to be a catamount.
At first they did not know what it
was aud Mr.. Curtis climbed the tres
and cut the limb on which it was
perched. 1t then jumped to another
tree and Mr.. Curtis climbed this tree
and with stick punched it out-not
knowing what it was. 1t fell to the
ground and after about ten minutes
chase the hounds caught it. This was
in Asberry Fry's woods, about four
miles southwest of La Plata. They
brought the animal to town yesterday
and we believe the best aathority-at
least majority of the Westeners--
pronounced it catamount, while
some claimed it was wild cat. 1t
measured six feet and four inches from
tip 10 tip and was vicious looking
animal. - La Plata ono. Home Press.

birds in their nest the little birds

Friendship.

Friendship is not like love; it cannot say
"Now is fruition given me and now
The crown of me is set on mine own brow,
This is the minute, the hour and the day."
1t cannot find moment which it may
Call that for which it lived; there is no
VOW
Nor pledge thereof, nor first fruits of its
bough,
Nor harvest, and no myrtle crown nor bay.
Love lives for what it may win or has won;
But friendship has no guerdon save to be-
Itself is its own goal, and in the past
Or future can no dearer dreams be done
Orhoped for; save its own dear self to see
The same, and evermore unchanged to
last.
