The camp was burned, and the fire came so

while none Of the men lived to tell the tale, II

Oppressed by poverty, mother and her
daughter ended their lives with poison at
their home near Norristown, Penn.
Mrs. Agnes Burton and her daughterlived

daughter earned $5 working In web fac

two women. Worn out by their efforts to
make living they determined to die.
From the meagre evidence before the Cor.

strychnine to her daughter and then took the
poison herself. and both died in short time.

A japanese Mother Goose" Story.

The Lucky Teakettle" is an ingenious
story told to Japanese children, in which
that useful article of domestic economy
plays the principal role. A priest who finds
an old kettle in the temple fills it with
water and hangs it over the fire, when, to
his great amazement, it suddenly turns into
a badger and begins jumping about the
room. A teakettle of such curious DISPOSE.
tion does not recommend itself to the man
of religion, so the next day when a tinker
chances to call, the priest, thinking to turn
an honest penny, sells the kettle without
telling Of its uncanny accomplishment.
That night the tinker hears a strange noise,
and getting up from his bed perceives the
kettle walking about upon four legs and
covered with a fine coat of fur. The kettle
then proceeds to turn. from q badger to a
kettle and back again with bewildering ra-
pidity.
The next morning the tinker shows it to
an acquaintance, who surely must have
had a drop of shrewd Yankee blood in his
veins, for he suggests that here is most ex-
cellent material for a splendid show. "Take
it about with songs md music" says his
friend, land make it dance on a rope" The
tinker adopts the idea and acquires a com.

However, it is just possible that in the

The Fargo people who will suffer
from the effects of yesterdays disaster,
have the sympathy of the entire country
and of the state especially. The mis-
fortune will probably result to the ulti-
mate good of Fargo as a city, as the
buildings will all be replaced. and the
poorer of them with better and more
substantial structures. Upon the old
timers, the men who have braved the
hardships of the frontier and battled for
the city's prosperity, the blow will be a
sad one. The capital which will he
brought into the city to rebuild will not
be that of the Fargoite, who has the
prosperity and good of the city at heart,
but of the eastern capitalist who comes
to build upon the ashes of the hopes of
many old settlers.

Medals For Bravery In Pawn.

The student of human nature will find a
good deal of food for moraliz:ng by the
study of a pawnbroker's window and the
forfeited pledges displayed there. One ex-
hibit noticed in such a place the other day
set me thinking of the straits that one man
must have been reduced to to part with what
must have been won by signal bravery and
perhaps a wonderful display of valor in the
face of death. The exhibit consisted of
three medals-one a Lucknow medal, an
other the Sebastopol medal and the third a
Balaklava. medal-and they had once be-
longed to a soldier of the Ninety-ninth
British Light infantry. Here was a man
who perhaps was with Sir Henry Havelock
at the relief of Lucknow, who may have
rode with Lord Cardigan and the famous
600 in the charge at Balaklava, and who
doubtless participated in the storming of
Sebastopol, and who had been reduced to
the necessity of raising tie wind on the
medals that testified to what he had done
for his country.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The weekly review of Henry Clews says
regarding the financial situation: It ia
easy, however, to expect too much from
the banks under existing circumstances.
They cannot yet be certain that the
European drain upon our gold has
reached its limit. The failures OF
which the Foster and Dwiggins suspen-
sions are a type have brought to light q
certain element Of local speculative en-.
terprise in the interior which is sugges
tive of caution; and there is 9 possibility
that the still existing stringency at the
west and south may bring to the sur.
face other like cases; while, beyond all,
there remains the grave question as to
what may prove to be the disposition OF
the new congress or the silver question.
These considerations warrant the con-
tinuance of a conservative policy on the
part of the banks. But, at the same
time, there Is no room for doubt that they
now understand that the general com.
mercial situation is a sound one; and
having reached that conclusion, it is
reasonable to infer that they will hence.
forth show q more liberal regard for the
wants of commercial borrowers. Under
all the circumstances, therefore, there
seems to be q good reason for expecting
that the present disturbed condition Of
