Both Have Been BENEFITED.

Minneapolis Times: Much as we
owe foreign immigration for the
wealth it has created, for the energy
and intelligence with which it has
assisted in developing our resources,
for the contributions it has made to
our industrial welfare, it must be re-
membered that the debt is not all up
on our side. 1t is to this land of
their choice that the naturalized
classes owe the transcendent blessings
of civil liberty and self-goverment,
the opportunities of success that else
where had been denied them, and the
protection of an all-embracing flag,
and that they loyalty appreciate
these facts is amply demonstrated.

IT is said the patent medicine man
is trying to get some of his testimo-

testimonials, he might get some con-

four line speech.

Has Its Boots On.

LIE Sueur Nea0s: Two years ago the
Democrats ran it's campaign on the
old saying: A lie will go around the
world while truth is putting on his
boots. They won as we all know, but
the spring elections have given notice
that truth now has his boots on, and
as the lie comes into view at the OPP
posite horizon from where it disap-
peared, truth is ready to give it such
a booting as will end in its utter and
ignominiOus overthrow. Truth has
good fighting qualities when it's boots
are on.

What Congress Should Do.

Blue Earth City Post: Congress
should turn its attention to road as
well as river Improvements. In gen.
eral, good roads practically shorten
distances, encourage intercommuni-
cation between town aud country,
benefit trade, enhance the value of
all adjacent properties, and effect
large saving of money expended in
hauling materials over bad roads.

When the nations sun was low,

Alasl that griefshould have its sting;
And we be late with words Of praise
Ofall the good and truth in you. y

Upon the grave we love so we'll.
That grave in which our hearts lie down,
And feel the sweet and bitter spell
Oflove whose life Is gloomed by grief.
A violet crown, not only bays .,.s,-.
But from your lips rare poesy sprung;

And in your crown no withered leaf.
He was Athenian, yet Christ's son, .o. -
Fine as a Greek, with Christian heart;
Corinthian deeds were Christly done;
He chose, of will, the better part.
And we, not he, have pain ofloss.

Him of the tongue and heart Of gold;
Who is there that SPEAKS shame of him?
Not one: . you new Greek of old,
For you the violets and the cross!

Some Clever Catches.

A young lady was once talking with
very young and very smart man,
who was inclined to air his knowledge
of thelanguages a little beyond what
she felt that modesty required. She
therefore said to him, with an air OF
Difference to his superior attachments.
"You are a Latin scholar. I wish
you would tell me how to pronounce
the word 'so-met-i-mes.'"
The youth, with an air OF kindly
patronage, replied, II have not met
the word in my Latin reading, but I
should have no hesitation in saying
that it should bepronounced sonnet
INES giving it in four syllables, the
accent on the second.
'"Thank you for telling me-" replied
the girl demurely. I have always
heard it pronounced sometimes, but
if you say the other way, that must
be right"
This is similar to the perhaps famil-
lar catch of the pronunciation OF
''bac-kac-he," which will often surprise
the uninitiated by proving to be only
back-ache. 1t also reminds one of a
question printed some years since, as
to the way of spelling "need''-to need
bread. The average person will reply,
"k-n-e-a.d, OF course;'' but the answer
will be, "that IS the way to spell knead
dough, but not to need bread"
A young lady recently misled a fam
lily in most heartless way. She re-
marked, II had a letter to-day, and
how do you imagine the little preposi-
tion to- was used?'
'Too," suggested mamma.
'Two," suggested papa.
"Tew," Tue" "Tu,' ventured va
rious voices.
Lily, who was much engaged with
her French lessons just then, suggest
ed "tout," and Tom, in derision, i'm
proved upon that with "tueue," de-
claring that must be right in order to
rhyme with "queue."
Gail wrong" exclaimed the young
lady, when all the alphabet and their
ingenuity were exhausted.
Just then Teddy, who had been So
berly absorbed in his bread and hon
ey, and who was in his first term at
school, and wrestling with the prob
lem of words in two letters, raised his
head, and with the air OF decision and
Importance, gravely spelled, '"T-o,
to-"
"Yes,'' cried the young lady, with a
peal OF laughter.
"Why," exclaimed the other, in dis
| mayed chorus, ''that is the right way
to spell it!'

the way my correspondent spelled it..

THE CATTLE BELLS.

Far down the brown autumnal haze
High on the peak is snow
Cattle that smell the winter days As
Tnkle their bells as they 60.
Out of thick veil drawn to save
The sky's face from the blast, IS
Those tiny BELLS Us fairies wave
Their wand, evoke the past.
That music once beforeI heard,
But then the notes were glad,
Carroling like careless birk:-
All. why now is it sad?
Upon this brow now crowned with care
My love a garland laid;
We heard the bells, now here, now there
Dead are the leaves and maid.
Mayhap for happier maid and man
The tender music swells;
And will smile while yet can
List TO the cattle bells.

Presence Of Mind,

During the recent popular excite
ment and riotous demonstrations in
Russia, growing out of the outbreak
OF the cholera, a priest at Saratoff
was attacked by mob. A man had
shouted, upon seeing him:
"There's the man that seized me
and buried me alive! I've only this
instant escaped from the grave that
he put me imp
The excited people, thoroughly con-
WINGED that there was murderous
conspiracy against them, rushed up
on the priest with cries which showed
their, determination to put him to
death.
The priest folded his arms and
smiled.
"You have just come out of the
grave, you scy?" he called to the
man.
GAY, that have!'
"Then how asked the priest, "does
it happen that you've had time to
get drunk already?"
As it was found that the mans
breath smelled of liquor, the laugh
was turned upon him, and the crowd
left the priest unmolested.
The same popular excitement in
Russia has been the occasion of an
example OF what may be called poetic
would be possible only in despotic
country.
At Nijni-Novgorod, where the au-
thoritieo and physicians were MAX

Chinese Pirates.

Until a few years ago Chinese p1-
rates we're in the habit of attacking
merchant sailing shipsin certain parts
OF the China seas They neither
asked nor gave quarter, and the IN
fortunate skipper who saw their
junks sneaking down upon his vessel
in the faint breeze by aid OF their huge
lateen-sails, or observed the pirates
sweeping their light craft alongside IN
der the influence of long oars, termed
sweeps, knew that it was to be fight
to the death, and so would arm and
station his crew and encourage them
to fight as long as possible. It was
we'll understood that if the blood
thirsty demons succeeded in taking
the vessel, such members OF the ships
company as fell into their hands alive
would he slowly tortured to death.
The pirates were in the habit of
using very peculiar projectile when
they came within observation-disclosures:
this was q small earthen jar contain
inggunpo WIDER, rosin, pitch, and a nasty
smelling compound called assafntida
When one of these pots struck the
vessels deck or rigging it exploded
and set on fire that which it came in
contact with, while the odor of the
assafetida was SC overpowering that
the crew OF the merchant vessel often
succumbed to anirtense nausea and
weakness, which rendered them I'M
able to oppose the enemy.

THE MAN IN THE BELL.

N my younger days bell
ringing was much more in
fashion among the young
men Of than it is now.
Some fifty years ago about
twenty of us who dwelt in
the vicinity OF the cathedral,
formed a club which used to
ring every peal that was call
! ed for.
One Sunday I went with
