Many long articles are appearing in
the public press bewalling the destruc-
ton of our forests and the consequent
long periods of drouth. Men destroy
the forests because they are compelled
to till every acre of land they have in
order to keep their families in decent
respectability. Double the price of
farm products by doubling the amount
of money in active circulation and the
farmer will be able to plant one half
his land in timber and live as well as
he does noW.-Non Con.

Bear it onward to the tombl
Haste mott Let no thoughtless deed
Mar for aye the spirits speed!
Ponder well, and know the right.
Onward, then, with all thy might
Haste noti Years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done.
Rest not! Life is sweeping byl
Go and dare before you die.
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind to conquer timei
Glorious tits to live for aye

Haste not! Rest noti Calmly wait;
Meekly bear the storm of fate:
Duty be thy polar guide
Do the right whate'er betide!
Haste not! Rest not! Conflicts past,
God shall crown thy work at last.

CALLED THE FIGHT OFF.
New York Chamber of Commerce Aban

don Their Fight Against Silver.
New YORK, Oct. THE campaign of
education begun by the chamber of COM
merce of New York four months ago in
opposition to the free silver idea has
been squelched. Whether the influence
which caused the chamber to abandon
the agitation was welded by William
@. Whitney, or whether the members
concluded the game was not worth
the candle are questions for debate.
The result is the same in either case.
The fight will gradually taper off
from this time. The expected struggle
between the radical and conservative
members of the chamber did not take
place. An agreement was reached,
apparently before the meeting.
Ex-Congressman Joseph G. Hendrix
said at the National Union bank that
there had been no split in the committee
on sonnd finance of the chamber of
commerce.
But" said Mr., Hendrix, ''my
opinion is that the silver propaganda
is done for in this country I am ready
to keep up the agitation so long
as there is anyone to agitate with.
There is no harm in preach
ing sound money doctrines whenever
and wherever one can obtain an au-
dience in this country. 1t is always a
good cause. The people in the West
and South are getting money for their
products and I notice that they are all
anxious to get good money. I person
ally believe there is no prospect of a
change in our standard of value, but if
anybody thinks there is, 1t is worth
while to fight on and am ready to give

cipline and school economy in general,
to assist teachers in spending their
spare time pleasantly as we'll as profit

manager; has prepared course of
study appropriate for teachers, which
will be placed in the teachers hands.

lar attendance and active work in the
Pursuance of this course of study.

should have his, or her, name enrolled
in the division most convenient, and
upon taking charge of another school,
he or she may be transferred to
another division upon application.
There will be fifteen meetings dur
ing the year, which will be held semi
monthly at the schOolhouses of the
above named places at 80 p. M,
union school house at Mankato) the
odd numbered divisions meeting the
first and third Saturdays of each

all teachers, at which the best papers
will be read and discussed, are con-
templated in this plan.
Let every teacher join the associa-
tion; let US make it strong and prof.

Take Your Vacation.

A little vacation-change of
scenes and surroundings is a
beneficial relaxation to the daily
routine of business life. Let no
man persuade you that a vacation
means time wasted or opportu-
mites lost. Take your summer
outing, leaving business cares
and thoughts behind you. Be-
come a boy once again for a
month, for a week or even for a
day, and you will return to
quickly overtake and pass the
man Who has remained at his
desk to watch the opportunities
at the sacrifice Of his health and
strength. It is not necessary
that you occupy It commanding
position to accept this view; it is
quite as good philosophy for the
subordinate as for the chief

Save Your Fruit.

There is enough fruit wasted
on any ordinary farm where there
is an orchard every year III fruits,
to pay the taxes and buy most OF
the necessary supplies If taken
care of. This often goes to
waste, through carelessness, but
oftener for want of a little outlay
aud needed information. Can
ming fruit as simple process and
cans are cheap. Any person OF
ordinary intelligence can get
cans and information at places
where they are sold, and with
the fruit ready can earn several
dollars per day that generally
goes to waste. This fruit thus
saved keeps indefinitely and can
be sold for cash or traded for 9th
er necessary supplies. Further
our merchants prefer 1t as 1t sells
better, eats better and is more
satisfactory every way.
People who have tru1t can
easily save it if they will anc
turn it to more profitable USE
than feeding hogs, or allowing te
fall off and rot.
