4 political economist found poor
fellow who had been arraigned for
stealing sheep, and, looking at him
with pitiful glance, said philoso-
phically. "You ought TO have known
that to deliberately steal sheep is a
great crime, which there is no Garth
ly necessity to perpetrate. Why
didn't you just buy the sheep and not
pay for it? That would have simplifi-
ed matters and saved you from
prison."

Famous American Men and Women"

Famous American Men and Women"
The above is the title of fine
work of art which Chas. Seller is
showing to the people of our city. 1t
is the latest triumph in the world Of
books, being complete portrait
gallery of the great men and women
whose names are prominently before
US every day. A history of the pres
ent. A text book of national char
acter. The illustrations are photo
graphic half-tone portraits, life-hke
in appearance and representing these
people as they look to-day. The
complete volume is beautiful work
containing 5lS pages, each leaf pre-.
senting full page portrait, and made
OF a superior quality of heavy enamel
finished paper and sold at exceedingly
reasonable prices. Following are
short extracts from longer opinions
given by some of our well-known
citizens
DR.. e. Ballard says,-"To every
young man or woman who wishes to
keep abreast of the times and wishes
to know just how our famous leaders
look, this book will prove to be just
what they need. In workmanship it
is well nigh perfect"
Rev. w. M. Balch-"The book is
more than interesting; it is inspiring
as well. The boys and girls in the
home cannot leave so attractive a
book unread and cannot read it,, or
even become familiar with the
portraits without catching something
of that spirit which makes men good
and great"
Prin. Wilson-''I know of no other
book which contains SO much valuable
information about contemporaneous
leaders as this does"
Prof. Brier-''The Famous Ameri-
cans i'm this book are so frequently
mentioned that the volume will prove
a great convenience to all readers OF
current literature"
Rev. McIntosh-"It is thoroughly
up to date and admirably illustrated.
As book for the family there is none
better TO inform our young people of
the leaders of to-day"
Prof. Ewing-"The selections are
well made and typical, the portraits
speak for themselves, and the would
be purchaser may safely rely on all
statements made by the canvasser."

Congressman Towne, of Minnesota,
has introduced a bill in the House
providing for the appointment Of a
Commission to ascertain and fix the
boundary line between the Dominion
of Canada and the United States,

correct survey would give to the state
of Minnesota twenty additional
townships which Canada now apprc-

gathered by exploration of the water
ways and by consultation with Indians
and early settlers in the region in
controversy that the treaty boundary
should be north of Hunters Island,
instead of south, as the maps show.

There has not been a moment of
time, says the American Economist,
since the election of Mr.. Cleveland,
in the fall of 1892, that the farmers Of
this country could find any consolation
in the situation. The boasted ''wider
foreign markets." which were to be
given the producers of this country in
exchange for opening up our own
markets to foreign competition have
failed to appear. The American
farmer, who thought he was not
having a fair chance under the Pro-
tective tariff of 1892, knows better
now. The Protection sentiment is
quite as strong in the rural districts
to-day as it is in the biggest manu-
featuring districts in the land.
