cattle, which they were crossing
rushed to one end OF the boat
causing that end to sink, which
frightened Mr. Aram, who jumped
in the river and was carried rap
idly down stream, He was told
by those on the bank to gragp the
tail of a steer that was swimming
by, which he did; and held or
for a few moments, then let &C
and sank to rise no more. Nc
hopes are entertained, Of recover

and very swift. This is a sac
blow to his family and friends
and they have the sympathy o.
the entire community in theil
bereavement.

DALRYMPLE,S OPINION.

rDuring the forty-one years l
have been in this country" OBJ
served Oliver Dalrymple, the
noted wheat-farmer OF North
Dakota, recently, "there has
never been so much snow above
the gtound and SO little frost be-
low. Everywhere around Cas-
selton, this winter, we have had
not less than three feet of snow
on the level, The snow came
very early and the earth was
only slightly frozen; SO the frost
below disappeared quickly, The
soil was only too glad to drink
up the water. Moisture, of
course, is the great lack OF that
wide stretch Of country includ-
ing Kansas. Nebraska and the
two Dakotas, Our section can
hardly get a surplus Of water in
disappointed farmers, even In
those few districts where crops
have become almost an annual
exception. We are now sure Of
enough moisture, and we always
have enough sunshine and to
spare The soil itself can be re-
lied upon. So ] think we have
every reason to be hopeful.

The Lovable Woman.

Very lovely and lovable is the
woman who has cultivated a dis
position angelic enough to see the
good and not the evil side of hu-
man nature; who can be severe
with her own failings and excuse
the faults Of others. We are told
that she is dull and uninterest-
ing creature, and if we take the
trouble to look into the matter
we find that she does not laugh
at her neighbours pet weaknesses.
She does not enjoy hitting out
right and left at the world at
large, ane is always ready with a
plea for unseen and unsupported
reasons, which, if they could be
revealed, would go a long way to.
ward modifying harsh Judgement
Our lovable woman may not be
witty; she may be even little
prosy; but it is she to whom we
go when in trouble and in whom
we confde with a feeling that our
secret will not be torn to shreds
as soon as our back is turned.

they have captured some of the

these discrowned soyereigns now
follow in chains the triumphal
chariot of their copquerors. And
this does not imply that merely
the officers and representatives
