On the Upper Mississippi,


The reports from the upper Missis
sippi districts are to the effect that
the drives that are not yet in are
moving along at about the usual
speed, and that the water at most
places are at fairly good stage.
The Prairie river drive and the Others
that will come along with it when
once out into the main river are ex-
pected to be within the limits this
season. Many of the logs below
Brainerd are being slowed away
into the pockets along the banks of
the river for the winter. The Pine
Tree Lumber company at Little
Falls, in getting at it's own logs, has
been obliged for a number of weeks
to turn over the falls many million
feet of logs that belong to Minneap-
oils parties. Consequently the Boom
company will not be obliged to close
down as soon as was expected, as it
will be obliged to handle all the logs
that are turned loose on them in this
way. The Boom company's first
drive is now clear in, and the last
drive is somewhere in the vicinity oi

GOOD NEWS.
Saw Mile to Run Longer Than
Was Planned Last
Month.

A meeting of representatives OF all
the saw mills in Minneapolis was
held on Saturday, and as reported in
the Times of that city, it was decided
to run the mills till about Oct. 20.
The Times says:
"B. F. Nelson, chairman OF the
committee, made a report OF the
situation which was to the effect
that there are about 50,000,000 feet
of logs up the river, there being 3d.
OOO, 900 to II, 100000 above the siding
gap and about 2O,OOO,OO0 back Of
Dunham's island. The question
which presented itself was whether
to store the logs over winter or
continue saving awhile longer.
T. II. Shevlin was emphatically in
favor of the mills continuing to saw
for at least a month longer. He
said that he had a $500 mill and
about $4,000 to $5O0,0O0 worth OF
logs on hand and to shut down
early would be of considerable hard
ship. The resolution adopted by the
Mississippi valley lumbermen's
association for the boom. company
to shut down Sept. 20 was passed at
a time when the money market was
so tight that this course seemed
inevitable. The financial situation
has frightened up so much since
then that it was unnecessary to take
this step.
Finally, on the motion of F. H..
Clarke, the log committee was In
structed to have the boom company
bring down the old logs in the river
to the amount of 5000, 900 or co.
OOO, 900 feet. AS the mills running to
their full capacity cut about 3,0O0,-
900 feet a day, it is likely that the
boom company will stop work for
the season about Oct. 10, and that
the mills will run some ten days
longer with the supply that will be
left on hand. This will bring the
date of the shutting down of the
saw mill season Oct. 20, lust one
month later than was contemplated
a month ago, when the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman's association
met here.
GOOD FOR LITTLE FALLS.
4 At the time the former decision
was made the Pine Tree Lumber
company reluctantly consented to
curtafl their cut, and decided to dc
!. SO only to be in harmony with theil
Il associates. Now that the agree
ment is broken by the Minneapolis
there is no doubt but the mills here
}, will continue all the season.

Origin of the Gold Standard.

The interests of the money lender
and the masses are in conflict, and
the gold standard was adoped at the
instance of those who possessed
money! 1t was British concep-
ton, and was adopted by the British
Government to give the people of
that country better control of in
ternational trade and transportation
upon the high seas. Having
achieved a position in which balance
Of trade were uniformly in her
favor, that country resorted to the
gold standard because it enchanced
the purchasing and earning power
Of her money. Germany adopted
it after the Franco-Prussian war IN
order to embarrass France, from
which she had exacted fifteen mil
lizards or gold as a war indemnity.
The other nations OF Europe deem-
ed themselves forced to reject silver
except for subsidiary coinage, and
about the same time Congress un-
Willingly demonetized silver in this
country. The important civilized
nations, therefore, are committed
to mono-metallism, and are attempt
ing to supply the wants of rapid
ly-growing commerce with the least
abundant precious metal, the pro-
duction of which is by no means
equal to the increasing demands Of
business.-Ex-Governo Lionel A.
Sheldon, in April Californian.

Coyote Hunting

Chasing coyotes, which do great
havoc in the sheep ranches, is the
latest, and is said to be the greatest,
winter sport in Montana. 1t is
much like fox hunting in its use of
swift hounds and fast, hardy horses,
but fox hunting is said to be tame
compared with coyote chasing
The coyote has more size, speed,
and grit than the fox. He is now
too well educated to be taken by
traps or poisoned meat or to stay in
the vicinity of gun. An able
bodied wolf will fight like Wild
cat, and single dog usually gets
the worst of an encounter. Two
ranchers in the Deer Lodge valley
have pack Of hounds trained to
the spot, which affords them great
fun during the winter, and, as wolves
are now very plentiful, coyote chas-
ing is in full swing. Occasionally
a pack Of wolves is started in the
foothills, and then the fun is not
all on one side. The hunting is not
only great sport but good business,
for the State pays $3.50 for every
VOLTS scalp, and every coyote the
less is q gain to the ranchers.

Three young men sat aboutaround

II read in paper the other day."
said one, "that young men don't
marry now as much as they used
to. Whatdo you think about that?"
"They don't marry as young now
as they used to, because-oh, well,
because it costs more to live, and a
man hasn't made enough for two un-
til he has reached thirty-three or
four, and the girls have too good a
time at home to want to marry un-
til they have had their fling
Don't you think so? Girls have

no debts or notes or duns, or any,

Spaniards and Buccaneers.

AS rule, the Spanish-American
merchantmen were formidable. float
ing castles. They might carry $50
of crew, with company or two
of disciplined soldiers. They
mounted many guns of heavy metal.
The "musketeers" were freely fur
nished with those bell-mouthed ira
bucos which belched out bullets by
the quarter bushel, and were excess
lively disagreeable at close quarters;
and they were clothed in )opirasses
or buff, which would turn a ball.
The poop and the forecastle were
solid forts, and the former was fur
nished with semicircular galleries,
from which the defenders could fire
with commanding precision. There
were boarding nettings to be triced
to the rigging; and even at the
waist, where the sides were the low
est, boarding must have been like
scrambling up the side of a house.
If we turn, on the other hand, to
the light buccaneering craft, 1T
would seem there was no sort of
equality. They were generally
schooners or brigantines of small
burden, but tall with tapering spars,
carrying a tremendous weight of
canvas. Their guns were necessar-
lily few, though one or two were for
midable. The men at the most
could not be numerous, although
packed away above and below like
herrings in barrel.
Where they excelled was in sea-
manship and dexterous Vancouver
ing. In certain light winds they
had it all their own way. If their
luck was good, the enemys gunners
would fire wide of the small and
shifting mark. Their very audaci-
ty often saved them disaster, for at
the closest quarters it was impossi-
bic to depress the guns so as to do
them serious damage, When they
did board, there was no need to give
the watchword-death or victory.
They were fighting not only with
ropes around their necks, but with
thumbscrews and hot gridirons in
the more remote prospective. That
accounts for the animation they
threw into the attack, but we con-
fess we are still mystifed by the
triumphs that crowned their audac-
ity. For even the buccaneers never
denied the Spanish pluck, and the
Spaniards were likwise fighting for
tance.-Blackwood's Magazine.

much-worn character that precludes
any attempt at description. He
had cotton in his ears, and he wore
a most disreputable hat, yet there
he was in one Of our large dry goods

No one paid any attention to
him, every one having come to the
conclusion evidently, that he was a
workman or some porter looking
for job; anything, in fact, but a
purchaser.
At last, after he had fidgetted
about for some time, he started of
toward the cloak department., and
presently came back in company
with an obsequious foor-walker,
who snapped his fingers and called
out:
"Show this gentleman your fin

Every one looked in astonishment
at the seedy figure, and one young
woman had the grace to remark.

A Deep Laid Plot.

Miss Wealthy was her own mis-
tress. She rose early, and she was
both healthy, wealthy and wise.
She was extremely young, and her
grandmamma was extremely old,
and also extremely strict.
Miss Wealthy had engaged her
self, at the early age of sixteen, to
the son of carpenter whom her
grandmother employed. 1t was an
exceedingly foolish thing to do, and
the chances were that it would turn
out extremely i'll, and that the
young lady would rue the day when
she did so rash thing.
But, spite of all reasonable prob
abilities, it turned out well, in so
far that the carpenter became a
builder, the son was educated and
bid fair to become y successful
architect.
Nothing seemed wanting to Miss
Wealthy's delight in having her
own way, save grandmamma's con-
s sent and a wedding at home. But
grandmamma would not back down ;
the house was hers while she lived
and there could be no wedding
without her consent.
Miss Wealthy's resolution was
taken as quickly as usual Fred
was to come up the river in a sail
boat. She was to wave her hand
kerchief. Fred was to take her on
board and they were to sail down
the river, err vs. over to s. on the
Iother shore, IN another State where
she had understood that people could
get married without tedious forms
of waiting.
Not that Miss Wealthy especially
cared about being married; she only
wanted to have her own way because
she was opposed in it.
Her program was duly carried
out. The goal was reached; but,
unfortunately, no one was found
who could marry them. Miss
Wealthy learned with sadness, that
she was not yet her own mistress
and could not marry without her
guardians consent.
A sadder and wiser couple took
their way back in the little sail-boat,
the Whim.
81 should have thought you
would have known better, if l
didn't" said Miss Wealthy, sulkily.
"Y ou might have learned that much
at college, Fred!'

"Well! | hate that" said Miss
Wealthy, pettishly. | move We
