Hunting For Ancestors.

It is not a good sign, this securing the
earth by Americans to see if they are
not descended from somebody who was
somebody q hundred or a thousand
years ago. There is the attempted or
ganization Of the so called order Of
Runnymede, composed Of the descend
ants Of the Magma Charta barons.
There are this, that and the other or
ganization whose mem bers set much
store by themselves because they had an
cestors historic for noble, and useful
qualities Tho exploitation Of our fore
fathers is tacit confession that we are
nothing in and of ourselves, therefore we
fall back on our ancestors.
The number Of such societies indi-
Gates that there is not now blue blood
enough in Americans to make them try
to be noble on their own account The
ancestors from whom they are so proud
to be descended were powerful people,
with tremendous convictions of right
and wrong. They acted out these con-
victions, struck with mailed hand at
opposing obstacles and conquered. They
were every one the heretics, the rebels,
the radicals and come cutters of their gen.
GRAFTON. If they were alive today, nine
out Of every ten of them would be os-
TRACKED and sneered at by the very peo-
pie who now fall down and worship
their dust. 49, y =
Let present day Americans stand upon
their own feet. There are in all of them
latent those seeds Of strength and brave
character that made their ancestors
what they were. Let the descendants
try to evolve something out Of them
selves, genius OF goodness OF, moral and
intellectual force. Let them do and be
something Of themselves and leave their
various ancestors to the rest SO we'll
earned. Not to our ancestors, but to
ourselves let us turn for distinction

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it. but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys. Malaria Or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures Constipation, Head
ache, fainting spells, sleeplessness and
melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system
to it's natural vigor. Try Electric Bit
tiers and be convinced that they are a
miracle worker. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only SOC bottle at McCuaig &
Danielson's Drug Store.

Canadian Loyalty.

Canada is queer lot She processes
the most burning loyalty to the British
empire. Many Of her newspapers rage
when any reasonable, base person sug.
gests the possibility Of an independent
Canadian nation or Of the annexation of
the Dominion to the United States. All
the same, however, Canada lets up on
her loyalty when her little pocket is
touched. She puts up the bars Of a stiff
tariff law against her own mother,
charging on goods imported from Eng
land in some cases higher duty than
even on American goods. This is one
instance Of how she loves her mother.
Again, English money helped build the
Canadian Pacific railway, largely as
military enterprise. English money sub
sidizes the merchant ships that. ply be-
tween Victoria and Asiatic ports. This,
too, is the result Of military policy.
What Canada does in return for this
protection is shown in sentence from
the speech at Bristol of Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, chancellor Of the British
exchequer. He said, .fIt is not credita-
bic to Canada or fair to English taxpay-
ers that such a colony should contribute
practically nothing to the naval de-
lenses Of the empire. - Thus it appears
that Canada gets the benefit Of all Eng
lands naval prestige, and it does not
cost her a cent. Canny Canada!
Canada is a chronic kicker on the
matter of seals in Bering sea. She
keeps England in hot water over this
question. She is loyal to Great Britain
for what she can get out of her.

LIKES HIS NEW HOME.
A Citizen of Opstead Writes to His Ole
Home.


Home.
Fred w. Sucknow, who has settled
at Opstead, this county, wrote the fol-
lowing letter to his old home. It was
published in the Black Hills Journal OF
July %. The UNION republishes it for
the good things it says Of the Mile
Laos lake country:
LAS [ promised several of my friends
that would write back and let them
hear from me I thought would make
short but thorough job of it by writ
ing to them through The Journal.
There has been plenty of rain here
and mosquitoes. The crops are look
ing splendid, although the country is
wild yet. I am living about one and a
half miles east of Mile Laos lake
which is twenty miles wide and thirty
miles long. It is a very b eautiful lake
all surrounded by timber. The coun-
try here is mostly timber land, such as
hard and soft maple, oak, ash, poplar,
birch, elm and occasionally a tama-
rack swamp. We have also some fine
natural meadows with red top from
three to four feet high, the finest I
ever saw, but they have more or less
rubbish in them that must be removed
before they make good meadow and
some of them have to be drained. But
the soil can't be beaten for quick
growth. planted some potatoes the
fifteenth of June and they were up in
ten days. Now, the tenth of July, the
vines are six inches above ground. I
have planted about two acres of
vegetables and garden truck, and it is
the best I eyer had, considering it was
in June.
II have bought eighty acres of land
at three dollars an acre, one-tenth cash
and the balance in ten annual pay
ments, and six per cent interest
Fully one-half is heavy timber, the
balance is hazel brush with scattering
timber. I have also a fine spring so I
VIII now OPOu uIu1IS WdUSI UOOu
summer and winter. There is fine
elevated spot to build upon about
twenty yards from the spring, sur
rounded by timber, with the exception
of on the east. So found just what I
was looking for and am we'll pleased
with the change I have made. We
have also plenty of wild fruit such as
Strawberries, raspberries, black berries
and strawberries. The lake is full of
fish and in the spring they come out in
the creeks to spawn, when we can
catch all we want with a pitchfork. so
[ think that some day we will have a
country here that we will be proud of,
and that time is not very distant
either. We are thirty miles from a
railroad, but we have good prospects
for a road soon. We are about ninety
miles north of Minneapolis and about
the same distance west of Duluth, so
we are near two good markets aud any,
one who has a little money, and grit
enough to tackle and clear himself a
little farm here in Northern Mime
sofa will not regret it in the future"

Common as is the superstition that
FRIDAY is the most unlucky OF days,
and Il of numbers, the belief IN un-
lucky hours is equally as widespread
on the European continent and in the
East. Gambetta was so firmly con-
WINGED that certain hours OF the day
are lucky and others unlucky that he
would never commence any important
undertaking or start on an important
journey without consulting famous
reader of cards as to the suspicious
hour, and President Faure, who was
prudent enough to select a lucky hour
for starting on his recent journey TO
Russia, is said to share Gambetta :
superstition. President Carnot was
less credulous and selected an unlucky
hour for starting on the journey to-
Lyons, where he was assassinated by
Caserio. The superstition is so COM
mon in Paris that cards tastefulIy EN-
belished and containing list Of
"hours to be avoided" are extensively
sold.
