TALES OF THE DAY.
Simply Cruel.

Old Chugwater played the meanest
April fool trick on his family of any I
have heard Of"
"Well?"
He took box of fne-looking candy
home with him, placed it on the table
in the sitting room, said nothing, picked
up a paper and began to read"
''Well?"
His wife and daughters had heard of
April fool candy, OF course, and they
didn't touch it,

trick come in?
1T was perfectly good candy-the best
in the market He gave it to the hired
girl, and then jeered them about their
unjust and unkind suspicious. Chicago

Republican programme is to again fool
with the tariff.

Then it was announced that the regu-

and the love feast which always closes
a Grange convention was in order. A

by those who are Patrons. There were

answered. Later Mrs. Carl entertained
the Grange with two finely rendered
selections.
A resolution was passed favoring the
bill now before Congress, which if
passed, will allow bulletins of boards
of agriculture to so in the mails as
second class matter.
Then several deputies made reports,
and Bro. F. o. Landgrane stepped for
ward to tell of the Grange work among
the Swedes of Aroostook. He was elo-
quent in his broken English and won
the most applause of the whole con-
vention. He told of the difficulties New
Sweden Grange had to overcome, and
how it had triumphed. even though the
ritual was occasionally translated into
Swedish. On motion of Ansel Holway
it was voted that the master appoint a
committee from the members of the
next Legislature, to be composed of
Changers, who shall look after proposed
legislation designed to benefit the agri-
cultural classes. Bro. L. o. Straw of
