For the Small Boy.

The following which is floating
around from an unidentified ex-
change will please the small boy:
I'd like to he boy again without a
woe or care, with frcckles scattered
on my face and hayseed in my hair:
I'D like to rise at o'clock and do a
hundred chores, and saw the wood
and feed the hogs and lock the stable
doors: and herd the hens and watch
the bees and take the mules to drink,
and teach the turkeys how to swim
so that they wouldn't sink; and milk
about hundred COWS and bring in
wood to burn, and stand out in the
sun all day, and churn and churn and
churn: and wear my brothers cast off
clothes and walk four miles to school:
and get licking every day for break
ing some old rule: and then get home
again at night and do the chores once
more, and milk the cows and feed the
hogs and curry mules galore; and
then crawl wearily upstairs and seek
my little bed, and hear dad say,
"That worthless boy. he doesn't earn
his brcad!" I'D like to be boy
again, a boy has so much fun; his life
is just a round of mirth from rise to
set ofsun: guess there's nothing
pleasanter than closing stable doors
and herding hens and chasing bees
and doing evening chores.

Minneapolis Tribune: If the low
price of wheat shall have an effect to
lead the farmers of the Northwest
out of the single crop policy into
diversified agriculture, it will be one
of the greatest blessings which ever
struck this section of the earth. The
investigationsof Labor Commissioner
Powers into the subject of mortgages,
shows that in 1881 as i'm 1891 the
mortgage ridden section of the state
was the exclusively wheat section.
In 1881 the mortgage and wheat pro-
ducing section was Southern Mime
sofa; but that section has since risen
from the slough of mortgage despond
and found prosperity in live stock,
dairying, fruit and vegetables, wool
and flax, and thorough and progress
sive mixed agriculture. The wheat
and mortgages in 1891 had moved to
the northern and western counties.
The unusual opportunities offered
this season in cattle, pork and sheep,
should give those sections also an
introduction to the safer, more profit
able and reliable mixed industry.
The farmer who puts all of his eggs
in one basket. who depends upon
Providence and the weather for his
income, who raises year after year a
crop which is slowly and surely
exllauting his soil, who follows an
industry which employs him only half
the year, who deliberately invests
his entire labor and capital in a crop
which is the prey and victim of
cyclones and droughts on the one
hand and bulls and hears on the
other, is a shining mark the money
lender and political demagogue, and
inevitably falls Il victim.
Less wheat. mortgages and politics.
and more meat and dairy products
and mixed crops; greater study of
diversified products and rotation of
crops, and less attention to varicgated
politics and rotation in offices: more
sheep, poultry, bees, fruit, clover,
root crops. and we'll bred stock.

and there were never brighter
prospects for the upbuilding o; such
farming than in this 1893.

The Real American Girl.

american
The truest, best and sweetest type
of the American girl of TODAY does
not come from the home of wealth;
she steps out from a home where
exist comforts rather than luxuries.
She belongs to the great middle class
that class which has given us the
best American wifehood; which has
given helpmates to the foremost
American men of our time: which
teaches its daughters the true mean
ing of love: which teaches the
manners of the drawing room but
the practical life of the kitchen as
we'll; which teaches its girls the
responsibilities OF wifehood and the
greatness of motherhood. These
girls may not ride in their carriages,
may not wear the most expensive
gowns, they may even help little to
enlarge the family income, but these
self-same girls are today the bulwark
of American society, not only present
but of the future. They represent
the American home and what is best
and truest in sweet domestic life,
and they make the best wives for our
American men. I have no patience
with those theories that would seek
to place the average American girl
in any other position than that
which she occupies, ornaments and
rightfully holds the foremost place
in our respect, our admiration and
our love. She is not the society girl
of the day and she is better for it.
She knows no superficial life; she
knows only the life in a home where
husband, wife and children are one
in love, one in thoughts and one in
every action. She believes no woman
to be so sweet as her mother: no man
so good as her father. She believes
that there are good women and true
men abroad in the world, and, thank
God, her belief is right. And that
man will always be the happiest who
takes such a girl for his wife,

DROWNED by AN AnELoNE.
Its Grip Caused the Death of ~ scliis,,
Chinese Fisherman.

Chinese Fisherman.
Among the snowy shells of the
Pacific coast of the United States
none are better known or more
widely distributed than the sca-ears
or abeloncs, and none are more
eagerly sought for by Chinese fisher
men.
One would scarcely anticipate
danger-much less disaster-from the
pursuit of an object 50 harmless in
itself; but 1t is reported that China
man once lost his life near Bartholo-
new Bay, ON the coast of Lower
California, while gathering abclonas.
Tie foot of this shelltisll is capable
of taking a firm hold ON a flat sur
face and in most eases it becomes
almost impossible to detach the she'll
without breaking it into fragments.
| The unfortunate fisherman referred
to was collecting the shells under IA
shelving rock between tides and had
thrust his arm around sharp edge
to dislodse large one which he saw
ON the surface. Having no stick con-
vcnicnt to pry off the abelone he
placed his fingers under the she'll
and tried to detach it by a quick
motion. The abelone, however, CON
tracted suddenly and held the fingers
of the Chinaman so tightly that they
could not be pulled away.
The tide rose and the man was
drowned. His companions returned
to search for him at the next low
tide and found his body still i'm.
prisoncd by the powerful grasp of the
abelone upon the rock.

A Fool. Errand.

Pierre Capital: ''Old Shady, or the
Disappointed Yankee" is the title Of
book written by northern man
who spent some time in travelling in
the south for his health. Like Judge
Tourgee, the author, found he had
gone on ga FOOLS Errand." In ex-
travagant language the author ad-
vises northern people to shun the
south. In chapter thirty he makes
the following observation which will
have a tendency to make the citizens
of South Dakota and Hughes county
feel glad that they are here-not at
Huntsville, Ala:
1--WE have in mind now a company
Of gentlemen who have recently pur-
chased large interests, and located in
Huntsville, Ala, and who compose
what is known as the Northwestern
Land association. They went from
Pierre, S. D., where they were large
property owners, and were among the
early boomers of South Dakota's cap
ital, and successful business men.
When Dakota suffered a backset
from drouth, and other causes. these
gentlemen turned their attention
and their energies southwark. They
purchased the remains of defunct
land and town lot company, at Hunts
willie, that had gone to the wall, for
the want of Yankee victims to give
it life. OF course their object was to
induce the discouraged farmers Of
South Dakota to abandon the rich
and fertile prairies of the garden spot
of the west: with a school house every
two miles square, and go down to
Alabama, and purchase the ragged
and worn-out sassafras patches of the
old antebellum plantations, where
ignorance, vice and superstition are
the ruling and predominating elc-
ments of society. If the Iowa and
Dakota farmer knows when he is we'll
off he will not exchange his black
and ever productive soil of the north
west for the worn-out and worthless
lands of the cotton states. There is
more productive and inexhaustible
soil in one quarter section of land in
northwest Iowa or South Dakota
than there is in the whole of Madison
county. of which Huntsville is the
county seat.

A Model of the Oceans.

A miniature representation of all the
oceans anG seas as well as their tides
and currents is a feature of the hydro
graphic display at the Worlds Fair.
This model, which all must confess.
must be OF great practical value, If net
of scientific interest, is huge tank,
made so as to represent the surface of
the earth spread out over an area of
about thirty feet square. The oceans,
seas and lakes, which, of course, are the
main objects thus displayed, are repre-
sented by real water. Through these
at proper intervals smaller streams Of
water are elected, the idea being to rep
resent the different currents just as
they flow in nature.
The direction of these currents is
shown by streaks of white powder on
the surface. In order that the whole
may be better understood, large map
will be placed within handy reach,
with man to explain the force,
volume, ETC., of the various "arteries
of the deep" It is expected that this
display will be an invaluable object
lesson to those who have never looked
into such matters and whose time and
opportunities will not admit of personal
investigation. Louis Republic.

The Wonderful Esquimaux Whip.

There was q contest between four
Esquimau1 in the village at the Fair,
writes q Chicago correspondent of the
New York World. The prize was a
contest for q five cent piece, which
some American willing to encourage
sport had buried in the soil so that only
fragment of its glittering rim was
visible. Themen stood eight feetapart,
with whips forty feet long. Such q
whip would have been terror In the
hands of an Esquimau1 if it had had q
real handle; but of the forty feet thirty
nine feet and half were lash. The
handle was a stout piece of white wood
six inches long, to which the lash of
rawhide was fastened. Such whips are
used by the Esquimaux upon the teams
of dogs which drag them over the snow.
The contest this afternoon demonstra-
ted the fact that it must be very un-
comfortable to be an Esquimaux dog
within forty feet of the driver. 1t
would be no trouble at all for the
Esquimaux to remove an ear or pound
of flesh, full weight, from any dog in
the team.
The most expert whip among the
Esquimaux was a, little man, not much
more than four feet high with slanting
eyes, and spixy, black beard, that
made him look very Japanese. A move
ment of his wrist sent the forty feet of
lash curving back in straight line like
long snake. Another movement and
it came forward, noiselessly shooting
through the air just above the surface
of the ground until, with loud report,
the tip end of the lash struck the pre-
else spot where the coin lay buried,
dug it from the ground, and brought
it spinning back to the Esquimau1
artist. Such precision and such force
are certainly unknown to any other
whips in the world.
Cowboys with their vaunted cracking
of bull whips are small children COM
pared to these wonderful Esquimaux.
A man standing half way between the
contestants could certainly have been
backed to death with the ends of their
lashes, in a very few minutes. The
force with which the tip of the lash
struck the ground was 80 great that the
particles of dirt which few about in
ficted painful wounds upon the faces
of the spectators.
