HANDCART EXPERIENCE.
Continued.

We were now between two
and three hundred miles on
our journey and our very hard
work gave us keen appetites and
we had used up a good deal more
of our provisions than the distance
we had travelled justified, and al
though our provisions was rationed
out to us, yet we had our minds
set that we would make the Journey
in much less time than we had
provisions for, as we had 70 pounds
of -four for each person, which was
one pound day for ten weeks.
When we would receive four
days rations, some would eat it in
two days and then plead for moro,
and we all know that no man with
a soul in him could deny them, SO
they would get little more, and
in all this we had a little merri-
ment. We had with us some young
men who had worked on farms in
England and were large over
grown fellows, with keen appetites,
who would eat the most of their
-four as rule in half the time, and
then they would say they would
make starch to stick their ribs to-
gether, but this soon ended, as it
became too serious to be fun any
longer, fol we all had to make
our rations hold out its time, and
thus we began to suffer, by the
time we were between three and
four hundred miles on our journey
and we could not hunt as every
one had to pull his cart, and we
had four persons to q cart, and
myself and wife, two small child
rem, one only three months old,
and the other under two years of
age, when we started on the plains,
thus we had only two of us to pull
our cart, and we had very hard
time to pull it and our two child
rem, but the Lord blessed us thus
far remarkably, and now when our
provisions was very short as we
were travelling along | saw sheep
some distance from the road.

A Little Grammar.

Boys and girls look out that you
do not get into the habit of using
"set" for "sit" and clay" for "lle. "
These are very common errors of
speech, and when you once get into
the habit of using them it is hard to
break up, like all bad habits. You
can "lie" down, but you must clay
your coat down. You can "sit"
down, but you must "set" your hat
down. You can "set" hen but
she must "set" on the eggs. You
"lie" down to-day, you "lay" down

If you've really seen the
collection of Autumn Dress
Stuffs at Wanamaker's, rest
content. The exhibit is ufl-
equalled in any other store in
the world. But it isn't seeable
at a glance. The heart of the
store is filled with Dress Goods
-twenty-three sections. And
even then the stuffs take turns
at occupying points of van
tage. Daily visits are neces-
sary if you would keep in
touch with this store.
Rest places abound. Ann
pie conveniences for checking
parcels and wraps.
The Art Gallery, third floor,
Chestnut street, and scores of
paintings about the store are
for Our Public's pleasure.
The $4,000 Orchestrion in
the Basement, like it's prede-
cessors, is for sale, but recitals
are given during the morning
hours.
Type-talk cannot do justice
to the display of Dress Stuffs.
But we've made the seeing so
easy and comfortable that you
only need the hint to come
and enjoy the feast of beauty.
There's no questioning the
fact that no other store shows
equally great stocks /; there's
no questioning the more inn
portant fact that good taste
skilled and trained good taste

And prices are fair.
It isn't unusual to find the

yard less than charged are
for equal goods elsewhere.

stand for seventy million people. These
seventy organize . corporation, and
build, own and operate money fac
tory and go into business. After the
factory is built and equipped, and has
been operated, at a profit, seven out of
the seventy stockholders get control of
the stuff out Of which the money is
made 1.-THE silver mines). They come
into stockholders meeting and pro-
pose that our factories shall be run
free, and that their stuff shall be taken
without charge and be made twice as
valuable as 1t was before 1t came to
the mint, and that all the seventy
stockholders indorse 1t and guarantee
it at its enhanced value and agree to
bind themselves by law to accept 1t at
the arbitrary value stamped on 1t at
our mints without expense to the
seven.
To make the proposition mo re mon
strous still, they propose that we ex-
tend this same favor Of "free coinage"
and illegal tender, to everybody else
who is producing silver and who will
bring it to our ,money factories to be
coined free. Why not bind ourselves
to double the price of the wheat, corn,
oats, barley, shoes, clothing, in short,
everything we produce and everything
produced in the whole worldp

not raising silver will consent to try
this experiment, and we will see how
soon civilization can be wrecked on q
theory. If we accept, and by law force
everybody else to accept the output OF
