A YOUNG FINANclER.
His Arrangements Carried ~ Well - He
Could Have Wished.

His Arrangements Carried ~ Well - He
Could Have Wished.
Two little fellows who boarded the Clark
street car, meas the limits barn, yesterday,
were evidently laboring under q severe
mental strain. The younger had long yell
low curls and was not over 4 years old.
The age Of the other was not so easily told.
He might have been "old for 8" or
young for T."
They did large amount of animated
whispering and the smaller kept an anx-
ious eye on the conductor.
"Thers he comes, Walter" whispered
the little one In curls to his elder brother
as the coin collector approached.
keep stillv' was the unsympathetic
answer Of the senior as he glanced indiffer-
emily about the car and assumed to be to-
tally oblivious of the conductor 9 presence.
Fare" called the latter, hating in
front of the little pilgrims.
The tiny flnancier paid no attention to
this challenge, but continued to eye the
cooling baby at the other end Of the car.
Fare, young man," sternly repeated
the conductor, touching the arm of the
elder boy. The passengers who had OBJ.
served the previous movements of the boys
felt that this crisis had not been unantioi.
pated and developments were watched
with curious interest. But they were moi
prepared for the frankly subtle bit of d.
plomacy which followed.
81 haven't any fare, sir" answered thu
spokesman of the pair, looking the CON
ductor straight in the eye.
But didn't your folks give you any
money to pay your fare With" persisted
the conductor.
YES" was the ingenious reply, "bu'
the other conductor didn't charge us any
thing when we went to grandma's thi!
morning, and SO we thought you wouldn''
either, and we just went and spent 1t al
for candy at the store"
This closed the testimony for the de
tense. The passengers manifested their ap
prevail and the small fnancier calmly drew
much bedraggled piece of candy from
the depths Of his REFER pocket and begal
to nibble it while the court made up it
decision.
After a moments hesitation the con
ductor exclaimed, well, son; you're :
Bird" and passed on to gather in the re
manning ares.-Chicago Post.

The Kafflr Craze.

The craze for Kafir stocks, which
amounted to mild insanity on the part
of those who participated in it, has died
out leaving many much poorer than they
were before they began. Then the Cripple
Creek craze came, with much the same
result Both were lessons, instances of
the fact that it pays best to pursue a
steady, natural course. This has always
been the policy of the St Paul & Duluth
Railroad, whose progress has been con-
seryative, but sure, until its popular title,
'tThe Duluth Short Line, has become a
household word This line Is, and has al
ways been, the peoples popular route to
and between st. Paul, Minneapolis, Dn-
luth, West Superior, StillWe,.er, Taylors
Falls and other prominent Northwestern
points because of its admirable facilities.
1t runs handsomely equipped and luxuri-
Gus trains at convenient hours rapidly and
smoothly over fine road bed, and be-
tween the finest terminals. where connee-
tons were made with trains running in
all directions. The business man and the

served best by the Duluth Short Line.

I have seen young man sell a good
farm, turn merchant, and die in an in
sane hospital.
have seen a farmer travel about so
much that there was nothing at home
worth looking after.
have seen rich mans son begin
where his father left off, and end where
his father began-penniless.
1 have seen young girl marry young
man of dissolute habits, and repent of
as long as she lived.
I have seen the extravaganza and folly
of children bring their parents to poverty
and want, and themselves into disgrace.
/ have seen a prudent, industrious wife
retrieve the fortunes of family, when
her husband pulled at the other end OF
the rope,
I have seen young man who despised
the counsel of the wise and advice of the
wretchedness.
l have seen man spend more in folly
than would support his family in comfort
and independence.
have seen man depart from the truth.
when candor and veracity would have
served him much better purpose.
I have seen man engage in lawsuit
about very trifing affair that cost him
more in the end than would have rooted
all the building on his farm.

Our Professional Men.

The professions are all fairly represent
ed in San Juan county. DIR. George S.
Wright, of Friday Harbur, graduate of
Yale medi al college, furnishes drugs
and medical attendance to the sick and
afflicted of this vicinity and of the county;
while DR.. Harrison of Roche HarbOr,
looks after the ailments Of suffering hui
mainly in that locality.
The litigants Of the county can obtain
counsel and have their wrongs righted
by applying to either of the three repre-
sentutiyes of the bar located here:
Judge VIM. H. Thacker, formerly en-
gagged in the practice of law in Illinois,
has been located here and practicing his
profession in this county for some five or
six years, and he is now serving his sec
nnd term as prosecuting attorney for San
Juan county. 1t is but fair to say that
our county has always found in Judge
Thacker, a sound conscientious adviser
And his opinions on the technical and
difficult applications of our statutes, have
been universally sustained by our Su-
oreme court. whenever that tribunal has
had occasion to pass upon them.
II. S. King, who holds the appointment
IF deputy prosecuting attorney under
Judge Thacker, is actively engaged in the
practice of his profession.
C. Z. Hackett, late of the firm of Nor
.lyke d Hack EFT, is now in the practice of
law, on his own account, the firm rela-
i rs having been dissolved, and is now
ready to transact any business that may
need attention before the courts.

The nuptuals of Mr.. LaunOr B. Car
ter, of this place, to Mss Emma
Wright, of Pomona, Cal, were cele-
brated at the home of the brides par
ents, at IL o'clock, a. m, on Monday,
Dec. IS, Rev. B. G. Cory, the Metho-
dist clergyman of that place performing
the marriage ceremony. 1t was a COM
paratively private wedding, only few
relatives and near friends being pres
ent. The home was hastily decorated
for the occasion and the event was
most happy one throughout. The
groom, who is one of Friday Harbor's
leading merchants, is so well and favor
ably known throughout the county
that nothing more need be said of him.
The bride is the youngest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James Wright, and is
native of Wisconsin. Her parents
moved to Minnesota while she was yet
a child and in 1890 moved from there
to Pomona, Cal. where she resided I'M
til her marriage. The happy couple ar
rived here on the Lydia Thompson
last Saturday and were cheerfully re-
ceived by many of the groom's friends
at the dock. They have taken up their
residence in Mr. Carriers fine home on
Spring street where they will be glad
to welcome their friends at any time.

Cur Bank

The San Juan County Bank opened
for business in October, 1893. The
present officers are Maj. Leander Clark,
president, who is also the heaviest stock
holder, and is worth over quarter of a
million dollars. Mr.. Clark is also the
president of the Toledo Savings Bank,
of Iowa. Mr.. C. E. Olney, the vice
president, is also vice-president and
manager of the Marysville State Bank.
Mr.. J. A. Gould who is well known
and most highly respected by every
citizen in the county, is cashier.
Mr.. Gould came here over two years
ago, during the greatest financial panic
this country has ever known and es-
tabIished the bank without asking a
dollars bonus of our residents or any
assistance from the business men OF the
county i'm the way of taking stock.
Since the opening of the bank, no Gus
tonnes has ever been refused an accom-
mediation, which speaks highly for
them, especially in the present hard
times. The banks business has stead
ily improved, and while Maj. Clark
was here last summer lot was pur-
chased and arrangements made for
building brick bank building. They
are the second heaviest tax payers in
the county and in more ways than one
have been a great benefit to US. They
have aided in starting almost every
new enterprise in the county and are
always ready to do anything i'll their
power to make our county one OF the
foremost in the state.
