The Farmer in the Fall.

They are hauling In the buckwheat
From the field upon the hill
And the swollen stream is roaring
Ger the dam below the mill;
The ripened nuts are falling
And the hungry peaoock's calling
For the breakfast that the gander grabbed away.
While the squirrels gaily chatter
AS IL nothing were the matter,
And the gobblers getting fatter
Every day.
The colts are in the pasture
And the COWS wind DER the lea;
All the swaying limbs are naked
Where the green leaves used to be;
The housewife, all a-1utter,
Stirs the bubbling apple butter,
With the wood smoke in her nostrils and her
eyes,
On the line the wash is cleaning
On the steps the dog is dreaming,
And, above, hawk is screaming
AS it flies
The glossy quail is resting
On the weather beaten log,
And the huntsman from the city
Stumbles down through brake and bog;
Over roots and other powders,
With pair of aching shoulders,
He goes trudging with his fifty dollar gun,
Away to his purpose oleaving,
Never halting. never grieving,
But contentedly believing
1t is fun.
The farmers rosy daughter
Helps the busy hired man;
They are husking corn as blithely
And as brislxly as they can.
They are very near together
AS they husk ana wonder whether
There are red ears they shall chance to find or
not;
She Is looking out to see one,
He is hoping he may "tree one,'
But there doesn't seem to be one
In the lot.
A subtle charm enfolds them
AS they tear the husks away:
There is music in the cackle
or the hen up in the hay;
Now she hears his exclamation
And is full of perturbation,
For at last-at last-the lucky ear is found
Flushes mount into their faces.
He the happy chance embraces
And she giggles as he chases
Her around
the farmers lot is happy,
And the farmers dreams are sweet,
If there's money in his pockets
And his bins are full of wheat
Free from all the city's clamor
He may live defying grammar,
And the leaves that fall serve not to make him
sad;
Having cleared up all his labors,
Fearing naught from ships or sabers,
He plays checkers with his neighbors.
And is glad.

Every honest man, whether republican
or democrat, who is at all skillful in read
ing the signs of the times must confess to
himself there was no evidence in Tuesdays
election of any popular desire to rebuke the
administration for its course in any line.
There was, however, plenty of reason for
no small degree of satisfaction on the part
of republicans at the loyal way in which
members of the party rallied to the support
of the administration and to victory all along
the line. The election clearly shows that
the people are still thinking and deciding
for themselves. Mckinley will be the
choice of not only republicans but of the
majority of electors as we'll next year.

A RECORD Dfying Feat.

The greatest diving feat ever
achieved was in moving the cargo Of
the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the
coast of South America, when a diver
named Hooper made seven descents to
a depth of over 200 feet, remaining at
one time forty-two minutes under the
water. An authority states that the
greatest depth to which man has
been known to descend does not ex-
coed 220 feet, which is equivalent to a
pressure of SO IL pounds to the square
inch.

Why Ships Are Not Struck by
Lightning.

( The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed to the gener-
al use which is now made of wire rope
for rigging purposes, as well as to the
fact that the hulls of ships are usually
constructed of iron or steel. Thus the
whole ship forms an excellent and con-
tinuous conductor, by means of which
the electricity is led away into the
ocean before it has time to do any seri-

Men ms Created.

The glittering generalities of Thomas
Jefferson that all men are created
equal and that the right of life. liberty
and pursuit of happiness is inaliena-
bic. have been the texts for many in
furious instructions. They are rho
torical fiourishes, meaningless to the
gentleman on the scaffold and in Sing
Sing, who pursued the fieeting phan-
tom of happiness with the jimmy of
the burglar and the dagger of the as
SaSSin. Men are not created equal
physically, morally or intellectually,
nor in aptitude. opportunity nor condi-
ton. 1t is perhaps accurate to say of
the 100000, 600 inhabitants of the
earth no two are created equal. Nature
is incapable of uniformity and detests
equality as much as she abhors Il
vacuum. One is made to honor an
other to dishonor, as one star differeth
from another star in glory.-John J. In.

he would not keep the quarter there

Railroad Commissioners Change New Ulm Coal
Rates Because the Union Said They
Were Too high. ~

The railroad commission last week
!asfdered very important decision with
regard to the New Ulm- Duluth hard

the rates were excessive and that they
ought to be reduced. The commission
ers investigated the matter and soon
came to the conclusion that the Union
was correct and a general reduction was
ordered all along the line. The particu-
aar lines affected by the decision as it
stands are the St. Paul g. Duluth, the
Rihneapolis & St. Louis, the Minneapo-

Northwestern.
