Hunting ZebraS.

After crossing the usual heated yell
low plains, looking for all the world like
an expanse Of overparched hayfelds and
dotted here and there with droves of
springbok, we outspanned two and so
rode back again across the hot, weary
plain for camp. We had not long quit
ted the forest before we sighted good
troop of Burchell's zebra, feeding quiet
ly. We spread out in line and rode up
to them.
The troop, which consisted mostly of
mares with a yearling foal or two, was
guarded by an old stallion, who stood
sentinel nearest to US with his head up.
Presently, turning half round, he gave
some sort of signal and the rest Of the
band galloped briskly off, curveting
and capering as they ran. After moving
few hundred yards the troop suddenly
wheeled round in line to have good
look at us again.
These tactics Of the zebras were dis
played in retreat of some miles, the old
stallion always covering the rear, until
the troop, outfanked by Dove, shot off
to the right and my chance came. l gal
Hoped hard to intercept them, and as
they stood for a minute-on seeing me in
the line of fight, got a steady shot at
200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on a
barn door, and as the troop continued
their fight saw one zebra turn away
alone. Presently she stood again. !

A Story Of millionaire Lick.

James Lick, of San Francisco, was an
unlovable millionaire, of whom curious
story is told. When poor youth in
Pennsylvania he was rejected by the
daughter Of wealthy miller on account
of his poverty. He vowed at that time
that he would some day build mill
that would far surpass that Of his sweet
hearts father. Many years later he
kept his VOW and constructed at San
Jose mill of highly polished California
wood valued at 100000. During his
lifetime Mr.. Lick had few friends and
apparently cared for none. He lived
plainly and was seen very little in pub
lie. The larger part of his fortune was
left to charities and public institutions,
one notable bequest being the sum OF
100000 for the erection Of statue to
Key, the author of the ''Star Spangled
Banner"
While many institutions profted by
Mr.. Lick's posthumous gifts, his most
famous achievement was the establish.
ment of the Lick observatory on Mount
Hamilton, under the management of the
University of California. Mr.. Lick's
body was placed in 1887 under the base
of the pier sustaining the great telescope.

A Petition to the Legislature


We have just completed the print
ing of several thousand petitions, pre-
pared by the Minnesota Grain Grow
ers' Association, to be presented to
the next Legislature. This memorial
contains three distinct propositions:
First, a protest against the building
of new capitol at this time. Second,
a request that the state build ware
houses at Duluth. Third, legislation
compelling all railways to furnish
storage for grain and facilities for
loading on track at all local stations
on their line. The Farm Stock and
Home makes the following comments
on the petition:
The propositions are all good and
timely. 1t will be more creditable to
the state to have more comfortable
and some luxurious farm houses than
to have magnificent and costly cap
itol; a state warehouse at Duluth, or
some effective check Oh existing meth
DDS of wheat handling is imperative,
no matter how much prejudice there
may be about the state engaging in
such enterprises; and the best way to
stop wheat stealing out of the cars"
is to make railroads as responsible for
the delivery of wheat to consignees as
they are for other kinds of freight

The Value of Thought.

It is hardly necessary to say that all
men need to Swing" the moral compass
from time to time and to take their
bearings in the sea of life. The advice
is as true as it is conventional. Upon
the use of thinking for such purposes
we shall not, then, dwell. Wemay, how
ever, point out, as a means of strength
ening and invigorating the mind in a
secular and worldly sense, the habit of
thinking is of the greatest possible valne.
The minds of those who dread think
ing, as If it were a penance, become like
the bodies OF those fed solely on spoon
meat-soft and unable to stand the
slightest strain. Reading, as one Or
dinarily reads, is like swallowing pap;
thinking, like eating solid food. The
man who trains his mental powers by
meditation and by following outlines Of
thought obtains an intellectual instru-
ment hundred times more powerful
than he who is content never to think
seriously and Observation-Disclosures

A State Conference is being held
today in Minneapolis, composed OF

them more just and equitable to all

Welcome Rain.

The author of Round the Compass in
Australia" had put up for the night with
the manager of stock farm. 1t was a
time of drought, and the evening passed
amid stories of frightful suffering and
losses. The manager thought it would
be hardly possible to hold out week
longer. Shady Jacks we'll is done, he
said, land the Frenchman's tank is
empty" His wife tried to encourage
him.
"HOpe for the best" she said.
"My oathv' answered the manager,
''but the best things never come off"
Eyes, Dick" responded his wife, "but
the worst things never come OFF.
Night after night this man had walked
the room, alternating between prayers
and curses, as each days record was an
other thousand sheep dead, another emp
ty we'll, until at last he had come to this
grim courage of despair.
81 shouldn't care SO much" he said to
the traveller, "but then my wife, my
! girls in there!'
He drew his sleeves across his eyes
and bowed his head on the table. For
ten minutes he sat there so. Then the
visitor saw him raise his head, start,
spring to his feet and listen with strained
attention. What was that? Something
pinged on the corrugated roof overhead.
Grain, rain. rain?' he shouted as he
rushed outside and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward the
clouded sky.
"Thank God! Thank God Wife!
Girls! Mary! RainP
Even so. The food gates of the sky
were opened, and before morning the
visitor was helping to put up a dyke on
one side of the house. The march OF de-
struction was staid.

Binding Irvine Industry.

The seventh biennial report of the
Minnesota state prison inspectors was
submitted to Gov. Merriam last
Thursday. We learn from this re-
port that when the committee went
east to purchase machinery for the
manufacture of binding Irvine in the
prison they found that the control OF
the desired machinery was entirely
monopolized by the great combine,
The National Cordage company"
and could not be obtained without
the State Of Minnesota indirectly 60
ing into bonds to protect such compa-
ny. We quote from the report:
The committee, rightfully indig-
lls..S at IL insult implied by such a
proposition to the great state they re-
presented, declined the offer, and
proceeded elsewhere and purchased
two additional sets of hemp machin-
cry, at very great saving to the state,
at much less the value, the machinery
having been used but little, being es-
sentially as good as new. The two
sets, in place for operation, cost but
little over $4,000, answering a splen-
did purpose, as the quality of the
twine produced, so universally COM
mended, sufficiently attests. The flu
ture of tho twine plant would seem
assured, and at the same time stimu-
late the further production of hemp
fiber in the state, thereby supplying
the Irvine factory from our domestic
product.
At the end of this season, very
nearly 100000 pounds of this Irvine
had been manufactured and sold di-
rect to the farmers at 8 cents pound
at the prison, without loss to the
state.
There are now three full sets of ma
chinery in operation, with daily out
put of about $500 pounds of finished
Irvine, thus preparing very large
supply for another year, Or double
the amount disposed of this season.
No additional appropriation will be
necessary for the conducting of this
enterprise than is now available under
the present law.
The management is much gratifed
with the Communications received
from all parts of the state in regard to
this twine experiment.

National Ship Canal Convention

We have received copy of a call
for national ship canal convention to
be held at the Arlington Hotel, Wash
ington, D. c., Thursday, January, II,
1898, "to consider such matters as
properly pertain to securing the con-
struction of deep waterway between
all the great lakes, and between the
lakes and tidewater through the terri
tory of the United States, especially
the authorization of the necessary
surveys and examinations of routes,
and the advisability of perfecting a
permanent organization to forward
the work by all legitimate means"
The Duluth Chamber Of Commerce
was the first to move in this matter,
and after having corresponded with
various trade organizations in differ
ent parts of the country, has secured
the endorsement of thirtytwo differ
ent boards of trade, chambers of COM
MERGE, etc. In addition, many letters
have been received from representa-
tive individuals heartily endorsing
the proposition of constructing the
proposed canal. President Harrison,
in his last message to congress re-
commends the objects sought to be
secured by the proposed convention.
All commercial associations, in
Guiding industrial unions and farm
ers' organizations, and all incorporat-
ed municipalities, are invited to ap-
point each five delegates to this con-
vention.
We quote the following from the
call for the convention: ''The Gov
eminent of Canada is fastening by
every means in it's power the enlarge
ment of the St. Lawrence canals and
the construction of a Canadian canal
at the Sault, with the evident inten-
ton of presently closing the Welland
and st. Lawrence canals to American
commerce, either directly or by the
imposition of prohibitive tolls. The
people of the United States are thus
brought face to face with the fact
that within five years at. most, the
