Undeserved Reward.

The writer Of "Field Sports in
Minnesota" describes his first nights
camping out, and the preparations
for supper, which, on account of the
lateness Of the hour, was to consist
only of tea, bread and butter and q
mutton chop. The five men who
made up the party had marched all
day. and were anxious for the even
ing meal. 1t devolved upon W
to prepare it. He placed a well-flled
tea-kettle on the roaring camp-stove,
and followed by his constant aud
faithful attendant, Prince. sought a
convenient spot to carve the mutton.
This he soon discovered in a short
log, which he Immediately bestrode,
first putting the meat in front of him
and the frying pan directly behind
him.
His dog had made at least thirty
miles that day on a slim breakfast of
Spratt's biscuit and skim-milk, and
was in just the condition to allow
his feelings to get the better of his
Judgment. So when his master
dropped slice of meat into the pan
behind his back, Prince gulped it
down Immediately. Again and again
was the poor dog tempted, and as
often did he yield,
My companions and l saw all this,
and though very well aware that our
supply of mutton was limited to the
piece our friend was carving, we en-
joyed the joke too we'll to spoil the
fun by warning him.
Lets see, boys" said W,
whose back was toward us, I'VE are
just five, and / have cut six pieces Of
mutton. Five will be enough for
supper, and if you have no objections
I'd like to give the piece I have left
to poor Prince, who seems very tired
and hungry"
With difficulty retaining our COM
posure, we assured him that we had
no objections. He called up the dog
in the most endearins manner and
gave him the bit of meat, meanwhile
assuring him that he was "a good
dog, Yes, he was"
Still unaware Of his loss, he very
deliberately wiped the blade of his
knife on the grass, turned, and took
up the pan! A startled glance at the
empty utensil, another at us, now
convulsed with laughter, and a third
at Prince, who had swallowed the
last piece and stood regarding his
kind master with a thankful look,
and W took in the situation.
A torch enabled us to find the pan,
that pursued the dog when he fled
from his masters natural Indignation.

STOCK AND FARM.

Sedan Lance: W. H. Deem is SELL

to Longton at 80 cents per bushel. W.
F. Smith is harvesting his fax. He says
it is a SPLENDID crop.
Ellis Review Headlight: Vegetation
never grew more rapidly than it has the
past week, and corn is no exception.
When Kansas soil is once thoroughly
soaked, sunshine will perform almost
miracles in the way of growing crops.
L. Musgrove, of South Haven, Sumner
county, has one piece Of wheat that
yielded over forty and one-half bushels
to the acre, machine measure, but which
will no doubt run forty-two bushels by
weight, as the quality is most excellent.
From Emporia: A very heavy rain
fell here which covered large extent OF
countryN A good crop of early corn is
now assured and with more rain within
the next ten or fifteen days farmers say
the corp in this vicinity will be the larg-
est every harvested.
News reached Fort Scott that an old
farmer, named jacobson, living thirteen
miles southwest, had committed suicide
by cutting his throat with razor. His
body was covered with blanket and
left in the yard until some neighbors
were informed, and they buried him im'
mediately without notifying the coroner
or having any inquest Of any kind.
Jewell City Republican: John Robin
son shipped his cattle and hogs last
week. Jake Stoffer holds his yet. J. d.
Robertson has on his Grant township
farm fine lot of fat cattle. They look
as though they would go as export cat
tie at any time j. d., runs a steam

ElDorado Advocate: The Vandenberg
field of 1875 acres OF wheat in the bottom
east Of the city, is being threshed, and
yielding thirty bushels per acre.
Clyde special: This section Of coun-
try has been visited by one of the very
best rains Of the season, and more OPP
perfume rain never fell. A couple more
such rains will give us one of the larg-
est crops of corn this country has ever
seen, as there is much larger acreage
than common on account Of 80 much
wheat and aata being plowed up and

NOTICE is served in the Christian
Union of the impending trial of an
eleemosynary experiment which has
long been discussed and is of unusual
interest. The Peoples Bank Asso-
citation hopes to open soon the first
of several model pawn-offices for the
poor The legal rate at pawn-shops
is 3 per cent. a month for the first
six months, and per cent. a month
for succeeding months; but most
pawnbrokers supplement these rates
by charges for care of the articles
pawned, SO that as much as 800 per
cent. per annum is sometimes paid to
them for the use of money The
Peoples Bank Association proposes
to begin by charge of l per cent. a
month, and expects to start with
800, 900 capital, which is to earn A.
percent. dividends for it's owners
The success of such movement
seems to depend simply on the
shrewdness of the money-lender en-
ployed.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

The Christian Scientists have fifteen
congregations and membership Of 424
in Kansas. Cowley, Labette and Wood
son counties each have congregation.
Manhattan Nationalist: The total
number added to the Christian church
through the extra meetings is about
forty. The meetings have been largely
attended and many conversions are re-
ported.
Topeka Capital: The collections
taken up by the Salvation army in To
peka exceed those of the First Methodist
church in this city. Major Sully has
compared the two and found that this is
true. But the army has seven meetings
q week and the church but two. And
Of course, the general collection Of the
church does not include the subscrip-
tions made by members.

Twelve Of the members Of the class,
however, paid all their expenses

Our Mother-Tonpue.

If we reverence it as we ought we
will be on our guard not to insult IL
by violating its rules. We will not
say, "You hadn't ought to do this,

OF the vulgar, the double negative,

above misplacing moods and lenses,
and putting the nominatiye case
where the objective belongs by right.
Many people who ordinarily speak
their mother-tongue correctly are al
fault when they have to do with pro,
nouns. Pronouns are stumbling
blocks beyond all other parts OF
speech. "A person does not know
what to do with their hands," they
say, or, Zone does not give their best
things away for nothing" If speak,

"Ruby has invited John and / I'd
supper" or, Lawrence is going to
Chicago with Mildred and l." The
placing Of another name before the
conjunction blinds them to the awk
wardness of setting l In the objective
case.
The word mice" is frequently mis-
used and taken from its significance

Am Ignorant SINGER.

Catalani, a gifted songstress and a
lovely woman was the idol Of society
and the favorite of fortune. But she
had neither knowledge nor culture,
and her ignorance sometimes made
her stumble into ludicrous mistakes
One of her greatest triumphs in Lon

King" The town went mad over her
rendering of the national anthem.
Two hundred guineas were paid her
for singing it once. But she always
sang it God shave the King"

a gentleman Of majestic appearance.

THE air is alive with reports of
commercial failures, but the cOndi-
tion of the whole country is such as
to prevent any general depression of
values. 1t is an age of speculation,
and If these recent failures serve to
prevent the farmer from speculation
it will be well. We do not mean
gambling on Change, but the slower,
yet not less risky plan, Of putting in
crops and raising stock without def
mite plan. Some men have des-
ultory hope that, by chance, grain
and live stock will improve them
selves Fortunes were once made in
the far West when cattle could be
cheaply raised by reason of free
pasturage and less competition in
meat substitutes. Poor horses brought
good prices, but steam and electricity
have curtalled the market for all but
the better grades. Crops, such as
not so commonly raised should be the
ambition Of the progressive farmer,
who also never forgets that the best
Of stock carefully handled rarely fails
to bring excellent returns. Trite
facts, these, yet slow to be needed by
the generality of our farmers.
