In that chair Mr.. Reed sits peace
fully and looks upon his wife's casket
which, at this season of the year, he
covers with flowers. No one knows
what passes in his mind at such times.

of their marriage.
The remains of Mr.. Gould, the father
of Mrs. Reed, lay at rest in the family
vault in Evergreen Cemetery. 1t was
not long before Mrs. Reed was taken
to the same place.
The friends of Mr.. Reed were as

his wife from his mind.
It did not seem right for him that
father and daughter should be together

thought the second place in the vault

The Hare and tho Tortoise.

A hare was one day galloping across
a field, when he met tortoise who
was a new candidate for Office. The
hare could not help smiling ut the
short feet and slow pace of the tor
toise, who, being touchy on this point,
promptly challenged him to trial OF
speed.
On the day appointed the beasts as
scmbled. The hare, however. trusting
10 his natural swiftness, had not train
ed-had continued to smoke cigarettes,
and on the night before the race sat
up with a sick friend. He arrived a,

with heavy. everhanginr breath.
Seeing that the plodding tortoise was
about to cross the finish line. the hare
promptly opened bottles for the crowd
bought up the umpire, and the flag
went to him on foul.
Moral.-The race is not always t.

labor and food, but the opportunity Of
fered the farmer of selling his own
labor in the form of some product must
be considered as one of the advantages,
says the Denver Field and Farm. Where
a farmer makes only a small profit, but
has derived a fair sum for the labor
he has personally bestowed, his gain
, is greater than the actual profit. On
the farm the item of labor must be con-
sidered according to it's actual cost as
| an expenditure. Though the labor of
the farmer himself is an item of cost
and must be paid for, yet he pays it
to himself and it really is profit. be-
cause of the employment secured by
! him on the farm. For that reason a
| small farm or small flock or herd will
always pay more than larger areas or
an increase of stock.
The per onal supervision of the farm
, err or the interest taken in the work
performed by him will also add to the
gains, because of the closer application
given and the economy practiced in
every department. The labor on the
farm. therefore. is the heaviest of all
expenses. and it is the principal stand
point from which all profits must be
estimated. Expenses are reduced when
the yields are increased, because in
many instances it requires but little
more labor to secure large yield than
| small one. Labor cannot alone make
crop. The soil must be fitted to de-
rive the largest possible product by the
proper use of plant food. which permits
the application of labor to the best ad-
vantage. Small farms can be made tC

and rapidly than large areas.

VENEZUELAN RUMOR.
No Warrant for the Statement of Brit
ish Demonstration.

Washington. March 17.-No warrant
can be found here for the statements COM
ing from Caracas to the effect to the eff
feet that British fleet is about to make
a hostile demonstration at Laguayra to
enforce the collection of an indemnity for
the treatment of British officer at
Uruan.
The Venezuelan government has not in
formed its minister here of the impending
demonstration, nor is anything known of
such program to the British representa-
tives here. 1t is probable that the story
has its only foundation in the routine
movement of some of the vessels of the
British North Atlantic squadron. 1t is
or at least inexpedient, to keep
these vessels in one port all the time, and
as every movement gives rise 10 fear of
hostile intent it is said such stories may be
expected at regular intervals.
Touching the negotiations, which Mr..
Curzon has admitted are in progress be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain, looking to the boundary dispute, moth
ing can be CLEANED at the state depart
ment, and the officials have apparently
taken Mr.. Curzons views of the inadvisa
bility of making public the nature of the
notes or propositions exchanged.

A PECULIAR ASSIGNMENT.
Patrick Fl. Kelly, Well Known st. Paul
Politician and Merchant. Assigns.

ST. Paul, March fitzpatrick H. Kelly,
well known Democratic politician and
leading merchant, has filed an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors to
John B. Meagher of Mankato, Mimi,
who will qualify in a bond Of $500, 900,
which gives some idea of the size of the
failure. As no schedules have yet been
prepared and no figures are given out,
this is the only means of knowing the
size of the failure. The assignment is a
peculiar one, according to the story of
Mr.. Kelly's attorney, which is that there
is no need for any failure as far as imam
cial difficulties are concerned, but that
the assignment has been made in order
to close up the estate more easily in case
Mr.. Kelly should not recover from the
severe attack of pneumonia with which
he has been confined to his rooms at the
Merchants hotel for some days.
His wholesale grocery house in this
city is one of the best known concerns in
the country. In politics Mr.. Kelly has

the political boss of Minnesota for nearly

ONE WOMAN LOVED NAPOLEON.
His Foster Mother the Only Feminine
Heart That Cherished Him.

Mason states in his memoirs of Napo-
leon that the Little Corporal bitterly re-
GREETED that no woman had ever really
loved him. Even Nine. Walewska mar
ried as soon as Napoleon was sent to st.
Helena, proving conclusively that her
course of action was prompted by the love
of her country, and not for any tenderness
that she may have felt for the great gen.
eral
Nevertheless, if Napoleon was failure
as "lover and husband" according to Mas
son, he succeeded in retaining the adora-
ton of his foster mother to the end. Thl
deepest affection existed between Nam
muccia Caterina and her nursing. She
came to Paris to see him crowned emper-
or and when told by Napoleon to ask him
for any favor, begged that she might be
introduced to the pope.
The old lady so amused his holiness with
accounts of her 'garcOn," as she was
wont to call the emperor, that he forgot III
her society the difficulties of his situation.
Mammucca Caterina nearly died of grief
when she heard of her garcon's downfall.
And nothing could be more forcible than
the terms with which she denounced Marie
Louise for not following Napoleon into ex-
lie.
Mammuccia Caterina, despite her great
age was preparing to go to comfort her
garcon at st. Helena when she died. Dur
ing his prosperity Napoleon heaped fayors
upon her and her family. Today her de-
scendants bear the title of barons and are
received in the best society in Paris. Their
family name is Saverias.

LONDON FINANCES.

London, March 15.-Money rates have
been lower than ever for the past week,
but it is expected that the issue of the
E10,000,000 Chinese loan this week, the
German portion of which will be largely
inanciered in London, may tend to raise
rates.
The stock market has been very quiet,
the principal features being the contin-
ually enhanced value of all investments,
securities and the absence of speculative
dealings. American securities were stag
nant under the distrust produced by the
Baltimore and Ohio collapse. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul dividend
has been discounted and produced no
change. The weeks changes were frac-
