WEST PERRY.

H. D. Wells and daughter, Miss Stella,
OF Emerado. Grand Forks county have
this week returned hume. Lately they
have been fulfilling the demands OF Uncle
Sam by putting in the residence required
Of new homesteaders. This fair home
steader. Miss Stella Wells. has proved
quite an attraction to many OF the young
bachelors OF the settlement and some ap-
pear to have lost their heads as we'll as
their hearts-but such is life on the west
ern prairie. Quite number of the young
lady's admirers were entertained at a
farewell dinner on Thursday oflast week
when music AMI toasts OF health were
rendered all and a hope expressed that a
continuance Of acquaintanceship should
be enjoyed in the near future.

Grandmothcr,s Talk.

II don't like mosquitoes" said Nan,
ME, petulantly, dropping the folds Of
netting and rubbing a pink spot on
one cheek.
''Then never be like one, child" an
swered grandmother placidly looking
over her spectacles. ''There are folks
who always make me think of mos
quitos. They come in with cherry
little buzz, as if they meant nothing
but a friendly visit, and their stings
are such little things that seem scarce
ly worth complaining of, yet they
leave one thoroughly uncomfortable
A mosquito gets into your room at
night. always finds the hand OF foot
that has strayed from under the
covers, and it sometimes seems as if
the human mosquito did the same
thing. If there is tender spot in the
family history, OF bit of household
economy that that isn't quite covered
up, they're sure to light just there.
And they never seem to know, when
they 60 away, that they have left a
drcn Of poison to vex and burn"
''Thcy don't care. 1t isn't ignorance;
It's malice" asserted Mamie.
But the grandmother shook her head.
Il don't think so, child-not always,
not usually. Tact isn't SO much q nat
ural gift as some people imagine; it
has to be learned. To say the right
thing In the right way, to remember
who will be hurt. to speak the truth
unto edifyns.' and when 1t won't edify
not to speak it, even though it is the
truth-it takes deal Of thought. And
l believe that is where we often mage
mistake. We talk about doing good
and being kind, where the Bible talks
about taking thought for others. 1t
is thoughtfulness for others that
teaches us to be quicq to see and ten.
der to do the right thing and avoid the
wrong.
"No. they are mostly well-meaning
people who come to your homes and
tell you how much nicer somebody
else's things are, and that they think
your new dress will fade; that they
have heard your new horse was sold
by somebody because it wasn't safe to
drive; that your sisters cough seems
worse, and she is getting to look like
your aunt who went into a decline
They are honest wheE they tell you
that they have had good time. They
do not mean any harm, and they dc
not know that they go away leaving
you dissatisfied, uncomfortable and
sore. without being able to tell where
all the pin pricks are.
II read the other day, in the adver
tisement Of some seminary, that the
girls would be taught how to ente,
anG leave room gracefully. Now, II
had seminary" laughed the grand
mother, I'd care great deal more
about having the girls taught SO that
their coming into a room would liz
always welcome. and that when they
left it everybody would be more com
Portable and happy for their VISIT
Exchange.

Shnrit's Tins Excellent Enting.

John Chinaman's taste for birds
nest soup and roast dog is matter
for common laughter or disgust am
ongst US, but good many white peo-
pie eat dishes almost equally singular.
and very wisely, too, as those who
have tasted these dishes aver.
Squirrels are sometimes eaten with
great relish in the rural districts Of
England, and very frequently so in
the Western States of America, whilst
the catfish and the dog-fsh (hideous-
looking creatures), and especially their
heads, are regarded as delicacies by
the white people who live near the
waters in which they abound. But tC
thousands of whitc people sharks fins
are especially palatable, and make the
most delicious soup.
The fins chosen are the top once
and the one on the uDder-side whilst
the side fins are rejected as being too
full of oil. AS little of the flesh of the
shark as possible is cut Off with the
fins used, these latter being STEPPED
FOR three hours in salt water, and then
converted into soup, which all who
have tasted it declare to be most ap-
Betizing.

Had to Have 1t.

A nice young man out on Walnut
Hills called on a nice young lady and
spent the evening recently. When he
arrived there was not a cloud in the
sky, so he carried no umbrella, and
wore neither goloshes nor macintosh.
At ten o'clock, when he arose to go
it was raining pitchforks and grind
stones.
MY, my, my" said the nice young
lady, "if you-go out in this storm you
will catch your death of cold"
I'm afraid | might" was the tremb.
ling answer.
"Well, I'll tell you what-stay al
night; you can have Toms room, as
he is visiting uncle and aunt up in the
country. Yes, occupy Toms room
Excuse me minute, and I'll just rur
up and see If it's in order"
The young lady fled gracefully up
stairs to see If any tidying was neces
sary, In five minutes she came dowI
to announce that the room was il
readiness, but no Charles was in sight
In a very few moments, however, HI
appeared dripping wet and out o
breath from running, and with a bun
ole in a newspaper under his arm.
The nice young lady greeted hin
with: "Why, Charles, where have yol
been?"
Been home after my night shirt,
was his reply" as he hung his hat III

How He Won His Case.

Charles O'Conor and James w. Ger.
ard were once opposed to each other
in an important trial. When Mr..
O'Conor produced his first witness, Mr..
Gerard rose and said:
"Mr O'Conor, what do you propose
to show by this witness?"
Mr.. O'Conor told what he wished to
prove.
1T is useless to waste the time of
the court and jury in proving that"
said the other; Il admit It,"
Mr.. O'Conor then called his next
witness, and the same question and
answer were repeated.
Il admit it," said Mr.. Gerard; don't
let us waste time"
Another witness began, and Mr.. Ger
ard interrupted: 81 admit all you say
you are going to prove. Let us hurry
along"
With a rapidity which almost took
O'Conor's breath away, all the facts
which he had accumulated were ac-
cepted wholesale. There he rested his
case, and Gerard, for the defence, call
ed no witnesses, but at once began his
address to the jury. Gentlemen of the
jury" said he, some OF you know me
personally. l have no doubt those OF
you who are not personally acquainted
with me know me by reputation. Now
gentlemen, you know chat If my client
had been guilty OF any fraud, should
be the last man on earth TO admit It
l should hide it from you, / should
cover it up, should fight, highland
know how to dght-a gainst the proof
of its getting in evidence. II my client
had been guilty OF fraud, do you think
l would admit it? No! no! Never
never! neverw Here he looked at his
watch. Gentlemen, excuse my breyity
I have an engagement to dine to-day
and my time is almost up; will detair
you no longer"
tlc won his case.
