ResoIve-To Pay Your Debts.

Dell Rapids Times.
Let every man who owes a debt
resolve in the beginning of this year
of 1899 to make some progress in
way of paying up. Bear In mind
that a promissory note or a mortgage
is one of the most industrious things
on earth. Day in and day out the
little piece of paper that exhibits
your name as a clincher to the CON
tract is accommodating the specified
tenn of interest. Week days and
Su ndays, by daylight or darkness,
in fair weather or foul, the mortgage
keeps at work sapping the founda-
ito ms of capital. home and all former
accumulations and will never let up
till the uttermost farthing is paid.
Prosperity has come to the country
at large: stir things up till it makes
you a personal visit and leaves you
a happy remembrance. No mar who
is in debt and desires to pay, but
who at the same time is in tight cir
cumstances, can carry with him the
thoughts of contentment and peace.
If there is a slave in all this wide
world it is the man who is bending
under the heavy weight of Gebt, and
what is worse than all else and in
fiic is the most painful sting is the
knowledge that by his want of en-
ergy, careless attention to business,
thoughtless ext avagance, he has
made himself the author of his mis-
fortunes and regrets having sown to
the wind now that he is reaping the
whirlwind. Resolve to dig out and
carry that resolution right with
you to the end of the year
and you will be a notch ahead when
1900 comes to the front. Don't
spend your time and breath cursing
the money shark and the plutoerat
for nine tenths of the sins that op-
press you were manufactured in your
own mental workshop.

Pop and Pumpkin.

Reposing meath some spreading trees,
A populist pumpkin
Amused himself by offering these
Reflections on a pumpkin:
II would not, il the choice were mine,
Grow things like that upon a vine,
For how imposing it would be
If pumpkins grew upon a tree"
Like other populists, you'll note,
Of views enthusiastic,
He'd learned by heart, ard said by rcte,
A creed iconoclastic;
And In his dim, uncertain sight,
Whatever wasn't must be right,
From which It follows he had strong.
Convictions that what was was wrong.

An acorn fell abruptly
And smote his nose whereat he spoke
OF acorns most ~corruptly,
Great Scottf' he cried. THE Dickens r. toe
And other authors whom he knew,
And having duly mentioned those.
He expeditiously arose.
Then, though with pain he nearly swooned,
He bathed his organ nasal
With srnica, and soothed the wound
With extract of witch hazel;
And surely we may we'll excuse
The victim II he changed his views:
III pumpkins fell from trees like that"
He ~murmured, what would / be atT'
OF course, it's wholly clear to You
That when these words he uttered,
He proved conclusively he knew
Which side his bread was buttered;
And IL this point you have not missed,

With sense enough to change his mind.

Umbrella ANITA

OF all the insects in South America
the umbrella ants are the most curious
and interesting. They are also called
wes-wees. They throw up great
mounds Of earth along the forest paths
and from the mounds radiate we'll
beaten roads four or Ave inches wide,
running in all directions.
The umbrella ants, when they build
near garden, give rise to the question
which Is to surviYe-themselves or the
garden-for they will eat up the plants.
They will strip goodsizsd orange
tree In . night and carry of the spoil
cut In thumbnail pieces, which they
store up In their homes.
1t was necessary In one instance to
remove a mound Of the umbrella ants
building, and 250 cubic yards Of earth
had 10 be dug before the task was &C.
complished. The ants have four
classes queens, drivers, workers and
builders. When once they have made
up their minds to strip certain tree
nothing but death will stop them. A.
faint idea Of the numbers Of ants IN q
hill can be gained from the statament
that one OF their paths to o tree, near
~ half mile long, win be thronged
with the multitudss carrying their UNI
bYeilalike loads above their heads
while thousands upon thousands are
swarming In the doomed tree. II
caught In the rain they drop their loads
and scurry home, for they hate water.

than by the circulation of good, sound

Goins Out of Fashion.

The Russian custom Of kissing
ladys hand, which only few years
back seemed destined 10 spread over
all the civilized world, is suddenly be-
ing dropped. The French were the
frst to take up the craze and they are
also the frst to let it 80. The motive
ts not easy to find, as the custom was
a delicate and chivalrous one. But the
modern Frenchman, 1t need hardly be
said, has quaint enough notions Of
chivalry, gallantry and the art Of kiss
ing. In Russia the graceful and gal
liant little act is considered veritable
science, of which only true man Of
the world can acquit himself success
fully. It is taught to the young just
as dancing or fencing Is taught, and
the Russian youth is often Judged from
his ability to delicately place kiss of
reverence on the wrinkled hand Of an
elderly dame, or burn in token of
affection on the tapering fingers of a
maiden. France on dropping this Gus
tom has replaced 1t by the grotesque
manner OF shaking of hands which
necessitates the lifting Of the elbow in
to the air.
