The Latest In Letter Writers.

An enterprising country publisher,
who has remarked that immense mum.

conquerable repugnance to letter writ

the use of lazy correspondents The
back of the card is divided lengthwise
into 10 unequal spaces, and the energies
of the reluctant scribe are spurred by
the following suggestive headings, one
of which is conspicuously printed to the
left of each of the divisions: /. Date

OF the most tried representatives of the

bears the honor of being the only white
man who was ever elected a member of
the Sioux council. In their days of DOW.
or, before hardly single white face had
been seen west of the Missouri river,
the Dakotas (Sioux) were one nation,
ruled by one chief. The last of this au-

any common member of the tribe.
Young Jordan, a tall, bright eyed
fellow of good education and address,
came west as clerk to the Indian agent

by the Sioux maiden. And so they were
married by q priest in stole and surplice

The Growth of Electric Railroads.

1.-THE growth of the use of electricity
as q motive power is remarkable, said
E. L. Carson, an electrician Of Boston.
1.-TWO years ago there were only l6l
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost
81, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract knew to be given ran from $640
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
ht which it was given, the manufactur-
trs being reliable men. 1t seems singular
that with such q constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi-
ton as to run prices down to one-seventh
Of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before 1t stops there
will be very few lines Of street railroad
In the country not run by electricity. -

Letters from both the Chief Of Awards

The Jndge of Awards says that this
claim is false; that no such award was

A PERTINENT PARAGRAPH.

"our country, if right, should be kept
right; if wrong, should be put right, ;" is a
political maxim which, paraphrased, ap-
plies to other conditions OF life, thus: our
health, if right, should be kept right; if
wrong, should be put right, especially in
bodily ailments, such as pains and aches,
which st. Jacobs Oil promptly cures. Many
out of work should heed to give it chance
to cure, and 1t will give them a chance to
go to work cured. Another adage is: she
doeth best who doeth well" Well, of
course, you want to be well from all sorts
of aches, and the best thing to do is to use
the great remedy. He who does so is doing
well indeed.
