some samples are worth repeating, as
follows:
There Is q farmer. In a town near the

land, Gao acres. 1t was worth probably
$1,000. He had a mortgage on Il for
5000, and Bank Commissioner Brefden-
thai had been urging the bank which
held the mortgage to have the indehtcd-
ness reduced. He regarded the mort,
cage as q rather shaky security. EARLY
In October he received a letter from the
officials saying that the farmer had
raised Sl7, 900 worth OF wheat on that
land, had paid on the $1,000 mortgage,
and had bought m adjoining quarter
eection OF land for 81, 900. He had clear

only a few hundred dollars u year. He
failed TO get a place. and when home

on his land-there was nothing else for
him to do-and, almost hopeless. he sat
down to watch 1t grow. It did grow.

that rooms be secured for temporal
residence near the doctor in whose

To her Majesty the queen OF Main street.
You never can tell when you send the
word,
Like an arrow shot from the bow
BY an archer blind, cruel and unkind,
just where it will chance to 90.
1t may pierce the breast of some dear
friend,
Tipped with its poisonous bane,
And to the strangers heart, who never
harmed you,
1t may carry lifelong pam.
You could not tell when you did the
mean act,
Just what the result would be;
But In doing the deed you have sowed
the seed,
And the harvest. you yet, cannot see.
But your faithful servants who aided
you
And to whom you are so much allied,
What an advise providence has left out
of their heads,
Can never be supplied.

Governor Hazen S. Pingree. OF Mioh-
igan, made an address before the
Nineteenth Century Club, in New
York recently, on Municipal Prog
ress," and his remarks, telegraphed
all over the country for publication,
are making people do deal OF think
ing. Governor Pingree was Mayor OF
Detroit for four terms, and related his
experience as Mayor. He said that he
found that the railroads were cheating
the city In their taxes. He compelled
them to pay their just dues, and made
enemies Of them. Then he found that
the street railroads and other corpora
lions were imposing on the city, and
he promptly called them to account.
Here is what he says, and 1t probably
describes the conditions in the aver
age city.
Among those who opposed reform
were some regarded as Of the highest
types Of the city. Judges, Senators
and members of the Legislature, bro
kers, merchant princes. All eminent
ly respectable, but in every instance
their opposition arose from their in
terest in the public charters Of mo-
nopolies."
There is not Mayor Of city in
the United States, perhaps, who, If he
speaks with candor, will not testify to
the same experience
