MY FAYoRITE BOOKS.

think, as in my mind 1 review the
various books have read, that, taking
them all in all, like the WORKS of j.
Fennimore Cooper and Edward Payson
Roe better than any other prose works.
| could not undertake to describe
wherein lies the charm of Cooper
| works; they explain themselves better
than any one else could explain them.
Roe's works are, | think, about the
best novels you could read, they are all
of high moral character and have a
tendency to lift the mind of the reader
above the mere story that he is
telling to something higher and better.
His works are nearly all based on some
real circumstances, for instance his
barriers Burned Away" relating the
story of the Chicago fire, and "The
Earth Trembled," telling about the
Charleston earthquake. Roe is great
"word picture painter" He brings
the scene so plainly before you that
you can almost imagine you are really
n witness of what he is describing.
AS to poetry. / think | love the
works of Longfellow, Whittier and
Carleton best of all.
How can one help loving man that
can paint picture like Longfellow's
"Hiawatha"? AS one reads he is
almost carried away by the perfect Joy
and content of the young husband and
wife and again by their bitter, bitter
anguish, speaking in every line. Ones
heart goes out in sympathy to the
sufferers and again to the dead and TO
the remaining one who has added to
his burden that feeling of utter DESC
lation, utter aloneness. Now we fol-
low them on their journey from the
land of the DacOtas, while the birds
and all nature seems TO rejoice with
the happy husband and again we
follow him from the grave of his
Laughing Water through the wood of
tall moaning pines to his lonely wig
wan, while he stands in the doorway
bidding farewell to the wife of his
chece and the Joy of his life.
Whittier deals with the more COM
mon place subjects, but he takes them
and dresses the thoughts into such
beautiful language that we almost be-
gin to believe that even the smallest
things we do are gloriousi if we only do
them with a glorious motive.
Will Carleton-the peoples poet.
How not only l, but every one loves
to read the writings of this man, and
how they seem to express exactly our
own ideas, only we could not get to
language to tell them, and how close
it brings us to him. Carleton writes
considerably in light, laughing strain,
but not always. A man that can read
his "Negro's Funeral" or They're
Going to Hang Me, Mother" without
its bringing the tears to his eyes must
of all men be the most hard-hearted.
/ have tried to express why | read
and like certain works and to show
why, also, that it would benefit others
to do likewise. LEAH DARCY.

All DER these plains Is hard To beat.
CHORUS.
Oh, Dakota land Sweet, Dakota land,
As on the highest mound | stand,

And wonder why IL never rains
But Gabriel calls with trumpet sound,
And says, the rain has passed around.
We have no wheat, we have no oats,
We have no corn to feed our shoats;
Our chickens are too poor to eat;
The pigs run squealing through the street.
Our horses are of Broncho race;
Starvation stares them in the face.
We do not live, we only stay,
And are too poor TO get away.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
Brockway Township Leads and
Many others Follow.

Last Monday was Republican day,
and the boys were out to win. Every
candidate oil the ticket was elected by
majorities ranging from 20 to III.
All of this was accomplished with
very little excitement and entirely
without contention or bad feeling on
the part of any one.
1t is gratifying to the Republicans of
the township that they had placed
al excellent ticket in the field and
that no other township in the county
piled up such large majorities.
Grant, Kimball, Ira, and Brockway
townships, one ward in st. Clair and
two wards in Marine City that had been
returning democratic members of the
board of supervisors, turned down the
democrats and elected republicans.
The large democratic majority of the
Board is thus wiped out, and while it
is not certain that the Republicans
have majority sufficient to organize
the board, it is certain that there are as
many republican as democratic memb-
ers and it is probable that there will be
a republican majority of from to 8.
Reports from Huron county show
that there has been elected a republi-
can board of supervisors for the first
time in 10 years-and like reports are
coming in from all oyer the State.
These are positive indications that
the republicans of this andi other
counties are camping on the trail of
democracy and are anxious to meet
that party in other fields.
