oLLEcTINe STAMPS.

a PhiIatelist who IL working to Obtain
For Himself a Cork Leg.
Fred Ullrich, a young lad Of Sycamore.
nls., is collecting 1000, 900 Cancelled post
age stamps. Some time ago Fred, while
returning home one evening was ttacked
by a fierce mastiff. The animal came
rear killing the boy. but it was finally
driven off by some citizens who came up,
The dog had bitten the boy SO badly that
one leg had to be amputated, and an arm
was rendered useless. The Ullrichs are
not rich, SO the boy adopted a plan by
which he is to secure for himself a cork
leg. The leg has been promised him If
he succeeds in collecting 1000. 900 can
celed postage stamps.
The other day young .Ullrich received
by express a bag weighing 100 pounds,
filled with Cancelled postage stamps and
bits of paper torn from the envelopes.
They had been sent by Miss Alice Smith,
Q clerk in the employ of Hubbard, Spen-
Ger, Bartlett & Co. Miss Smith had seer.
an advertisement of the boys purpose in
q newspaper, and she wrote him to in
quire as to the truth in the case. The
reply she received was satisfactory, and
she began collecting stamps. The large
bag received the other day by the boy
came from her. Miss Smith gets all the
envelopes from the heavy mail received
by the firm. Yesterday afternoon she
was tearing stamps off of envelopes, Of
which shefnad q large number. While
doing this work she explained how she
had become interested in the boys case
and had resolved to help him.
IT'S not so much work. and it will
benefit him" she said. 1T didn't take

There is a strange Chinese legend con-
corning the tea plant. According to the
story, there once lived a very pious
hermit who passed the greater part Of
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while he was in the very midst
of his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in a fit Of wrath
against this weakness Of the flesh, which
he seemed unable to overcome, he cut
Of the offending eyelids and cast them
upon the ground. But his action had
been observed by a god, who immedi-
ately caused a tea shrub to- spring up
from the spot where the eyelids had
fallen. It ia in reference to this, &C
cording to the legend, that the leaves OF
the tea plant are shaped like eyelids,
fringed with lashes, and possess the
power Of warding Of sleep.

Of that force when he was but is years
Of age. 1t ID related that while heawas
attending the Cleveland high school he
distinguished himself by making cleo

chemical and physical abilities of the
laboratory were placed under his
charge. When he was but 16 years OF
age, he constructed an electric motor

THE FREIGHT TRAIN.

\ How 1 love to watch the local
Winding up around the hill
In the sunrise Of the morning,
When the autumn air Ia still,
And the smoke. like loosened tressas,
Floats away above her back,
And to hear the chuka, chuka<
Chuka, chuka Of the stack.
The man who rides these mountains,
Whose fiery steed of steel
Drinks al natures flowing fountains,
Must inevitably feel
A divine and peerless painter 80
Spread the scenes along the track.
While he hears the chuka, chuka,
Chuka, chuka Of the stack.
In the solemn hush of midnight,
When his pilot plows the gloom, '
From o hundred hills wild roses
Send their subtle, sweet perfume
To the wary, weary watcher
Whose lamps light up the track.
And q hundred hills give back the
Chuka, chuka Of the stack.
Oh, how I miss the music
OF the whistle and the bell,
And the drumming Of the furnace,
More than any tongue can telli
And the mighty, massive mogul
Always seems to call me back,
With her chuka, chuka. chuka,
Chuka, ohuka of the stack.

LIS an investment in Real Estate.
It cannot be stolen, neither cal it
be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
it pays large interest to it's deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis of all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever SO small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely, as it
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop
erty.
The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a
HOME,
or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
emit indeed, as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner of a home sometime, but
the masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own. when a little exercise of
good judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
and the money which they spend
for rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comforts
and enjoyment of life, or laid by
for E"rainy day"
TheS~ho arrive at the shady
side" of life
WITHOUT A HOME
are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his own home with the one
who rents. Which will you select?
You can have either condition; it
remains for you to decide. The
isest and most prosperous people
country are purchasing all
estate their means will
and are advising their
- TO do likewise. A very
IN emit and wealthy old gen.
nan who resides in Illinois, and
no has travelled extensively and
been very observing, wrote us a
few days ago, and in his letter he
said:
Real estate in your section of
country must very soon be in ac-
tive demand at much advanced
prices, as all of the good, cheap
lands are gone, and your lands
must command prices equal to
those of the states just east of you,
and your cities, especially such
BUSINESS centers as Madison, must
grow rapidly and city lots advance
in value accordingly. / look upon
investments in real estate in your
locality as the best that can be
made at this time"
Opinions coming from men of
this character are of value and
should be needed.
If the possession of a home were
not within your reach, how earnest
would be your wish that it was,
and how great your anxiety to be
the happy possessor of a piece of
this earth you could call your own.
While there is now a most favor
able opportunity for securing such
a home, do you know that this OPP
p~ortunity will soon disappear, and
If you have not improved it by
purchasing, you will ever after re-
greet it. If you are a single person,
buy not only for a future home,
but as an
INVESTMENT.

and have a better selection
also than you will have later on, as
well as the advantage of the present
Low PRICES.
Ii you have been renting a
house in the city, stop a moment
and think how much you have
paid out in rent, and if you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good
or a better house than you are rent
ing, and still you have no home of
your own. Why not put this
money into
HOUSE OF YOUR OWN,
in which you will feel a natural
pride, and have a permanent and
pleasant home for yourself and
family in your declining years. A
little energy on your part will do
it. Start at once by
BUYING A LOT.
Ii you are renting a farm figure
a moment what you are paying out
annually for rent and how soon
this rental would buy a farm here.
What you pay out in rent in two
or three years in Iowa or Illinois
would buy equally as good a farm
in South Dakota. Stop renting
and come out and buy a farm Of
your own and feel the independ-
ence Of
OWNING A HOME.
Don't delay this until next year, as
very much advanced prices for
South Dakota real estate, which is
sure to come, will soon prevent you
from buying, and your opportuni-
ty of a lifetime will be gone.
But many will say, II have not
sufficient money on hand with
which to buy even a lot" Sup
pose you have not - and there are
many of this Glasgow can pay a
small amount down., and we will
give you all the time you need on
the balance. You can pay a fixed
amount each month, or make pay
ments any other way to suit your
convenience, saving a little for the
purpose from your other expendi-
lures, and before you know it your
lot is
PAID FOR
and you have not missed the mon
ey, the amount of each payment
being SO small. Had you not saved
and expended these small amounts
in this way, the chances are that
this same money would have been
expended in some trivial way and
you would have nothing to show
for it. Surely there is no

especially if that real estate is

dence or business lot in this city,

football than in most games, because the
players are brought ssinto personal con-
tact and therefore the opportunities for
personal assaults are greater. In base
ball or cricket the contestants rarely
come into personal contact, while in
football they are in such contact the
most of the time, and bad blood has
chance 60 get in it's work.
The peculiar liability of football to de-
generate into a contest of mere brute
strength was recognized long ago, ana
an effort was made last year to avert II
by eliminating some of the tactics thab
had been introduced, and imposing sew
we're penalties for. brutal or unduly rough
action. Theoretically the game was lm-
proved thereby. But practically it seems
to be as bad as ever. The players ap-
parently violate the rules with inpuni-
ty, either because the umpire can't or
won't see, and the crop of serious acct
dents this season is as abundant as last
Something more must be done evidently
before the game will become even tolera-
bly, safe. The colleges set the fashion,
and their style of playing is likely. to be
initiated by the school clubs. Reform
must begiu with the college clubs, aud
reform there will. we imagine, not be
very difficult, provided the Objectionable
features are not inherent in the game,
if the college authorities will
put their foot down and insist that
the game shall stop altogether unless all
brutality and undne roughness are elm
mated. If they don't do it then the
general public will take the matter into
their own hands and their method of
reforming the game will be to extin-
guish 1T.

THE CAME OF FOOTBALL.

If foot ball is to continue to be an III
ter-coIleeiate or inter-scholastic game 1t
must be reformed. The element of
brutality must be entirely eliminated,
and the element Of danger greatly
diminished. People are not going to LOOK
on with indifference and without protest
at such brutal contests as that which
occurred at Springfield on Saturday.
They are going to demand radl-
cal change in the method of the play,
and if this cannot be made, they are go
ing to demand that it cease altogether.
The Yale Harvard game was undoubted-
ly brutal above the average of such
games. Yet it is rare that game occurs
where the rivalry runs high but it Is at
tended with more or less brutality. In
the game between the Portland and Ban
Ror High school mines many things were
done that were utterly indefensible.
Bows were struck, whether with the de-
liberate purpose of disabling them or be-
cause the player in his excitement had
lost conrol of himself we do not profess
to know, aud badly hurt for the time
z,
ness of consequences which put limb,
and even life, in constant jeopardy. We
have yet to see man who observed that
game who did not condemn it as an
exceedingly rough and dangerous con-
test. and many have denounced it as
downright brutal.
The purpose of. introducing athletics
into colleges and schools is to strengthen
and develop the body along with the
mind, and to educate men to self con-
troll. A certain amount of stimulus in
che way ofIrivalry is necessary to keep
the boys interested and produce the best
results; and there can be no objection
60 physical contests between members OF
the same school or different schools so
long as they are confined within proper
limits. But it is difficult to confine
them within proper limits, and not easy
to FIX those limits: even theoretically.
When however the desire for victory
transcends all other considerations,
and the primary idea of physical con-
tests, which is to develope sound
body, is lost sight of, they have Gel tain
ly passed that limit. That seems
to have become the case with football.
1t is useless for anybody to
contend that such games as that at
Springfield, or even at Portland, are
a healthy athletic exercise. No ex-
ercise can be healthtul which subjects
the muscles to overstrain or taxes them
to the utmost extent. But added to
this overstrain in a large per cent. of the
football games as now played are violent
blows inflicted on tender and sensitive
parts of the body, such as the eye and
nose. the putting of the body in unnat-
ural positions, and the imposition of
great weight upon bones that were
intended to bear but little. Added to all
this is the danger, which is serious
one, of the loss OF temper on the part of
the players, and their yielding in a mo-
ment OF passion to the temptation to in
fict personal injury upon one another.
This is danger which is greater in
