! With the good times which have
commeced to make their appearance
the general contentment among the
people seems also to have returned
Christmas has passed with it's gather.
ings around the Christmas trees and
similar assemblages, and thus it is
easily noticed that far more life and
activity exists now than was prevalent
a few years back.
Last Thursday l made a trip to
town of Wright to he present at the
last day of school, taught by the
young teacher, Miss Jennie Peterson.
She had arranged a splendid literary
program in connection with a nice
Christmas tree, which very much
gladdened the little ones and also
| their parents, many of whom were
present. As far as I could, learn it
was the general opinion that Miss Pc
terson had given very excellent satis-
faction during this, her first term of
school. Miss Peterson's parents have
brought up four daughters, and all of
them are school teachers. One can
truly say that they are people who
have made good use of their time in
acquiring an education.
In this neighborhood wolves have
been very troublesome this fall.
About 25 sheep have been killed and
eaten by them. # locks as if the
wolves have been informed of the fact
that our lawmakers reduced the boun-
ty for their scalps, and consequently
become more bold.
The SHEAR has told about and
warned people not to have anything
to do: with agents who are strangers,
and this l believe can not be done toe
often. People nearly always become
robbed and cheated by these scoun-
drels, who come in flocks when they
know that the farmers have money.
At a more convenient time I will tell
about a certain. Assurance Company
which did business in this neighbor-
hood last summer, and cheated the
farmers. If one must have something
to do with agents, it is always safest
to deal with those who have estab-
lished a permanent residence in our
midst. One should never place too
much confidence in an agent who is a
stranger. Respectfully,
| CORRESPONDENT.

The contrast between the deliberate

The deputy collector OF customs at

signed. He informs the treasury de-
partment that no money was collect
ed at the port in 1897. and less than $3.50
In all the four years Of his occupancy
of the office. His salary for that time
aggregated $3.50. That was what IL
cost to collect $3.50 in revenue. The
country is full Of these out-of-the-way
and antiQuated customs posts which
cost far more to maintain than the
revenue they yield. One secretary of
the treasury after another has appeal

pose. AS patronage bosses congress-

There has been a notable increase
In railroad freight rates between the
west and east lately. This may not
at once be good for commerce. but it
shows that there is growing stiffness
in trade generally. Money that has
been in hiding for several years is be-
ginning TO come out to get the benefit
OF temporary rising prices, and it is
not unlikely that an era OF war time
railroad rates may rule for while.
1t has almost stopped the grain move
ment and there is dearth of wheat in
st. Paul. Duluth. Chicago and other
oenters. 1t is, therefore. not improb-
able that wheat will reach the pro-
phesied s1.50 before the month of May

BottIing of Tears In Persia.

In Persia the bottling of tears con-
stitutes an important part of the
obsequies of the dead. As the mourners
are sitting round and. weeping, the
one with a piece of cotton wool or
master Of ceremonies presents each
one with a piece of cotton wool or
sponge. with which to wipe away the
tears. This cotton wool or sponge is
afterwards squeezed into bottle, and
the tears were preserved as powerful
and efficacious restorative for those
whom every other medicine has failed
to revive. 1t is to this custom that
allusion is made in the eighth verse of
the fifty-sixth Psalm: Put thou my
tears into thy bottle

Enormous Income Indicated by the Price

One can form some idea Of the enor-
nous profits made by the gambling hell
at Monte Carlo by studying the terms
on which the prince of Monaco has
granted a prolongation of the conces-
sion under which this infamous estab-
lishment exists. The present conces-
sion expires in 1918, but the share
holders think 1t wise to secure q fur
ther concession before that date. The
terms. which were presented and rati-
fled the other day, are as follows: The
$4,000 for the concession, plus 10000
allowed for the expenses of the govern
ment of the principality, are to be con-
tinued. together with the allowance,
for public works. lighting. maintenance
OF the institutions, ETC., amounting II
all to another $4,000 or ESQ, 900 per an

the prince in hard cash the sum OF
100000. and further to spead 100000
upon public works in the shape OF
opening up new avenues ap,j streets In
parts OF the principality indicated by
the prince; to spend 10000 in the con-
struction Of new theater and opera
house, this to be completed in time for
the exhibition Of 1900: to hand over to
the manager of the theater Of Monte
Carlo fl 900 for each performer. this
sum to be spent exclusively in the pay
ment Of special artists, the company to
further bear all the cost of the chorus,
orchestra and scenery. Finally, the
company undertakes to pay over to the
prince in cash f60O,O00 in the year 1913.
which was the date of the expiration
Of the ole contract granted by the late
Prince Charles II. The Casino COM
pany is therefore called upon to find an
additional sum of f1,2S0,0O0 without
counting the grant to the manager OF

concession. The prince also insists up
on having in future direct voice in
the management of the concern. He is
to be consulted in the appointment of
both the manager and directors of the
Casino company; he is to have the
right to nominate the manager of the

He climbed the water-worn steps,
and as soon as he was safe inside he
it the lantern he had brought, and,
lneeling down in corner, he began
20 clear away the heap OF stones and
broken wood. The task was not a
long one, for those who hide can find,
and in a few minutes Ben had discoE-
cred the object of his search-a leath-
er bag both large and heavy.
A CLEAN lit up his eye as he saw it.,
and. unfastening the mouth, he thrust
in his hand among the smooth gold
coins. But this exultation did not last
long; and, tying it up again carefully,
he sat down with it by his side and
gave himself up to gloomy thought.
The temptation OF being alone with
the diving man in The room which con-
tanned the treasure had been too mach
for him; but, keenly as he had covet-
ed the gold, it had brought him no
happiness. He had hoped that little
INQUIRY would be made about it, since
no sum was specified in his uncle's
will; and, if any inquiry should be
made. he had believed that little jul
dicious suspicion thrown upon the
half-witted Zeke would put all
straight. But, much to his vocation,
the lawyer had declared his certainty
that there was more money to be
found. and. moreover, Ben had soon
discovered that zeke was not by any
means a universal scapegoat. More
thon once chance remark had turned
him cold with fear. and on this very
Sunday afternoon Agnes had uttered
words that made him desperate.
Dearly as he loved the gold, he loved
Agnes better; and he felt a sudden
Overwhelming desire to make her own
that she had misjudged him. Ihls &C.
sire had led him to seek out Zehe
Brown, and the poor lads confession
had been only too readily obtained. II
only Will had been content p leave
the matter there, all would have been
we'll; but as it was, he must take the
money and hide part Of it, at any rate,
in the howell where Zeke and his moth
er lived. 1t was a cowardly thing to
do, of course. but that could not be
helped.
1t was time now to be starting, and,
rising from his seat, he grasped the
bag, and began to descend the steps.
The wind was fiercer now, and as ne
left the shelter of the mill, it caught
his lantern and nearly swung it from
his hand He bent forward to save 1t,
and as he did so, his foot slipped and
he fell from the top of the steps to the
bottom. An agonizing pang shot
through him, but, making violent
effort. he tried to regain his feet. As
he did SO, however, shrek was
wrung from his lips, and he realized
that he was helpless-helpless and
alone-and that he must lie there and
await his doom from the cruel tide.
Even now he could hear its alternate
hiss and moan, as the turning waves
began to gather and break upon The
distant sands.
At last physical dread got the mas
