be year old will not be year old
u6t1 some time after the first Of April,
and therel1 16e will escape taxation this
year. YOU are allowed from the nrst Of
April until the last OF June 10 do the
work Of assessing. All this stock that
comes year old soon after the first Of
April ought to be assessed and placed on
the rolls. That, l think, will be the duty
OF the assessor. As to the work done by
the state board of equalization In fixing
the average values. this cannot conflict
with the duties of the assessors, for the
stats board only fixed the are1a0e value,
and the law directs the assessors to be
guided by such action. The assessors
will have done their duty when they fol-
low the requirements of the law.

Coop FRIENDS: You want to know
how it is in North Dakota. As have
been in the Dakotas for eleven years,
and thus have had considerable experi-
ence, write this account of my impres:
sions about this region. North Dakota
has healthy climate. 1t Is worthy Of
note that the death rate here Is low. Very
few people have died in the neighbor-
hood where live, although it is thickly
settled. The soil is very fertile. andy
IL there is rain enough, will yield 1fty.
bushels of wheat per acre. All kinds Of
crops are excellent. Grass grows plenti.

and horses get their feed on the prairie.
When the snow is too deep the stock 60

'a6pnd on the grain delda. There 10 much
goNernment land In the Dskotas, and
especially in North Dskots. There 10
probably no better place in America for
stock-raising. 1t 10 true that there are
people here who think It u better
elsewhere. and some haye tried other

able to raise the money to get back with

A CHILD'S DIARY.

The following is from the Interior,
and entitled "a child's diary" 1t will
go straight home to the parents heart
and should prove instrumental in Sc
curing clearer and more conscientious
recognition of the rights and privileges
of the young:
"My son. your bureau drawer is full
of rubbish; you had better clear it out"
Yes, that would be his great delight. so
we began. "This horseshoe is of no
USE "Oh, yes it is; l found il under
grandpa's corn corn crib and he let me
have it," "These clam shells you'd bet
ter break up for the hens" why,
mamma. got them on the beach, you
know, last SUMMER "And this faded
ribbon, burn it up" "Oh, no! that was
our class badge for the last day of
school. and l want to keep it." Here is
that old tin flute yet; why do you heap
up such traeh?" "That is a nice flute
that Willie gave me two Christmases
ago; didn't we have splendid time that
day." "Well, this bottle is good for no.
thing" "Oh, yes. it is. That is the bot.
tie used for bobber when we went
fishing at Green's lake; a black bass
pulled that bottle away under water"
All, said 1 to myself, truly this heap
is not rubbish, but my boys unwritten
diary. By glance at this strange mix
ture he recollects tine various strands of
life and weaves them into one continu.
GUS web. These objects are his histor-
ical data. the basis of his autobiography.
A ruthless destruction of these would
be akin to stamping out the boys life.
That which obliterates sacred memoir
les. which breaks up the continuity of
life, so that the precious thread, where.
by we may retrace times labyrinth, is
lost, that which disjoints experiences,
blots out cause and effect, and makes
life seem to be only days of chance hap
penings, is serious indeed. We all in
stinctively long for continuous exist
ence; lapse of memory is painful. and
a sickness that blots out the chain of
events is distressing. So we all have
our trinkets; hold fast to the bundle of
letters, and prize the heirlooms. Happy
is he that can scan them from time to
time, therein reading his life with IN
derstanding, gratefully singing in his
heart:
Thus far the Lord hath led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace"

Newspaper Files Under Guard.

A complete file of each of the news
papers that have been published in
Chicago since the fre-in fact, more
complete than is to be found in many of
the newspaper offices-ie one of the fea-
lures of the Chicago Public Library.
When the editors of the various news
papers are appealed to in regard to arti-
cles that have appeared in their papers,
they with one accord refer the applicant
to the Public Library. In addition to
persons SO referred, there are a large
number of people who, knowing of these
flies, are constantly wanting either the
whole or a portion of the articles they
have read, but failed to preserve. Many
of these requests are for articles of very
recent date, and the area from which
they come is only limited by the circu-
lation of the Chicago papers. together
with such papers as make excerpts from
them.
There is probably nothing in the IL
brary that is the source of M ore request
than these files OF Chicago newspapers,
and there is certainly nothing more
closely guarded. This latter fact &C.
counts for the file in the Public Library
being more perfect than are many of
those in the offices where the paper is
published. 1t is not quite easy to un-
derstand why person who would not
think of tearing page from book will
ruthlessly mutilate newspaper file that
is far more valuable. But the fact re-
mains. and for this reason the newspaper
files at the Public Library are constant
ly guarded. No one is permitted to ex-
anime them save under the surveillance
of the guard.-Chicdgo Tribune.
