 To Property Owners:
 Owing to the high quality Of the Sherwin- Williams company's paint we have found 1t difficult to build up profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble is, the goods are too high priced for the average cons mer. The result is, we have a stock oi several hundred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order to push them will sell to any bona fide property owner or agent for use only upon his own property at $1.35 per gallon, provided we have the colors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not apply to coors we have to order from factory.

Preserve the Individuality.

Fortunate are those parents who have
learned to respect the Individuality of
their children; who are not madly bent
upon planting them in the family gar
den in set rows, and so closely, that
their branches have no room to stretch
out in the fair sunlight; who are forever
on hand with the pruning knife or hoe,
to lop off that which, if left, would
develop into sweet buds or flowers; or
to dig the earth prematurely from roots
which were better left safely hidden
till their natural period of vigorous
appearing. A gardener who should be
guilty Of such folly would be a laughing
stock. What if all his flowers were OF
one colorl What if every twig and leaf
were of the same size. How weary
should we be of this nonotony How
we should long for the delicate pink of
the rose, and the royal purple of the
violet, and the pure snow of the lily,
and tie distinctive aroma of each. Why
not, in this respect, take lesson from
Nature, which is at once so bountiful
and so wise?

Condition of Trade.

Commercial failures in the third
quarter of 1895 were 2,792, with liabili-
ties of $50, ,167 ,l79, averaging Sll ,521 per
firm against S10,02S last year, about 10
per cent. more. The rate of CONNER
cial mortality, 2.34 failures in a quarter
for every 1000 firms in business, is
lower than last year, and the proper
ton of defaulted liabilities to the
solvent business represented by pay
ments through clearing houses is but
2.49 per 81 900 against 2.V last year.
The defaulted liabilities per firm in
business average 2692 against $26.39 last
year. The defaulted liabilities of the
manufacturing class average $40, ,S65
$40, ,76S in the same quarter last year; in
trading SS,577 against s6,443 last year,
and the banking failures, not included
above, have been 81, with average
liabilities of $4,000 against S110, ,036
last year. In the third quarter, when
failures are usually low, the average of
liabilities in prosperous years falls
below $4,000, the number below , in
1000 firms, the defauited liabilities
below s. per 1000 exchanges. and
below S25 per firm in business. Thus
the analysis indicates a condition
approaching, but not yet reaching, one
of general prosperity.

NARROW ESCAPE.
GodIieb Jocks and Jacob Ford Mis-
taken for Deer.

While two of our young men were out
Watching for deer in the town of Grant,
Portage county the past week, they
came pretty near killing Godiieb Joecks
carelessly while he was crossing ruta-
baga patch in company with Jacob Ford.
1t seems that these young men prepared
a temporary shelter from sight with oak
brush resting it against the fence at a
point where they could survey the
entire patch. This was believed good
feeding place for the deer as tracks
were plenty. They secreted themselves
III this brush house in the early evening
and intended to stay all night. About
eight O'Clock in the evening the two
gentlemen above mentioned, while re-
turning home from a days threshing,
thought they would take short cut for
home and 60 through the woods. They
did so. When they reached this ruta-
baga patch they were crossing it.
While in the midst of it Jacob Ford
picked rutabaga and was in the act OF
peeling it. The gentlemen were about
3 feet apart standing still when one OF
the young men discharged his 3S calibre
winchester at them, believing the
object seen was deer. The ball
passed through Godlieb Jocks coat
sleeve between his right arm and body.
At this of course the men gave vent to
their feelings both being greatly sur
prised and badly frightened and the
boys who were scared almost to death
left their lunch and place of secretion
for the woods believing they had shot a
man. The boys were only about IL
rods distant when they fired and the
wonder is that neither one was shot
dead on the spot. Such carelessness is
ineXcusable almost for it was moonlight
and quite discernable. How the young
men could haye made this mistake is
hardly accountable yet everyone knows
it was not Intentional May this act
prove a lesson to other deer hunters
never shoot until you are sure of the
identity of your game.

Dear Sirs:-For y years my wife was
a martyr to that dread disease, Dyspep-
sia. Nothing relieved her; physicians
were consulted and medical skill tried
without avail. One doctor advised a
change of climate, suggesting Manitoba
as a desirable place. We acted upon
this advice, coming here two years ago.
The change of climate wrought a change
indeed, but for the worse, as she was
soon confined to bed, and under the
care Of two doctors, who asserted she
could live but a month longer. a
neighbor came to see her one day who
had been reading your Almanac. She
told her of the testimonials she read in
it, of the great amount of good they
were doing, and advised her to try a
box of DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills.
She did so, was relieved, kept improv-
ing. and is now able to do house work,
and continues the use of Morse's Pills.
Yours gratefully,
GEO. Dunn.

Early Impressions.

Every one must have found how diff
ficult it is to eradicate early impressions,
or to overcome prejudices acquired later
in life. Our first impressions cling to
us with tenacity which no change OF
situation can destroy. The home of our
childhood, the friends and association
of our youthful days, form images in
our remembrance which can never be
wholly obliterated. The warderer from
his native country may in his adopted
home meet new association and acquire
more wealthy connection and a higher
standing in society than he held in the
land which gave him birth, still the
humble dwelling in which he was
reared, the partners of his early joys
and sorrows, the habits accustomed to
in youth, are all ''green spots" in his
"reminiscences, continually watered
from the fount Of never failing
memory.
