gress at Fargo.

session Of the Tri-State Grain Growers
convention is now in progress in Fargo.

ers will put into practical use the sag
gestions brought out at the convention
that with the same amount of labor and
expense the yield Of the wheat fields
a be increased from one to three bush
els an acre and the grade raised at least
a point. This would mean from IS, OOO,-
600 to $40, 600, 900 extra for North Da-
kota alone, and is worth investigation.
The programme is al interesting ne.

tional congress. Colonel B. +. Clayton,
ex-president Of the National congress,

States agricultural department at Wash
ington, and Hon. Charles Braithwaite

enough to bring out points Of interest
to all.
At the opening session E. w. Randall

The Cavalry Horse.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears Of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in service, he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth. As he
moves out he will either seek to get on
faster than he should or bolt. He AN
not bolt, however. The lines will car
~ him forward, and after a minute he
will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with it as soon as
possible. A mar seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle. It
Is the same with a horse.-Bufalo

From Cabin to Castle.

Miss Grace Carr, Who was married
to Lord Marlborough in London recent
~, was born rs years ago in q log
cabin In the woods near Leavenworth.
Ind. Her father was soldier who
had come out of the Civil War with
nothing but u sound body and good
health left. She had sister two
years older, named Alice. In their
early girlhood tho sisters were noted
for their beauty. When they were in
their teens their father was appointed
pension egent at Louisville, Ky, in
which oity the family took up its resi-
donce. There tho beauty of the girls
attracted almost immediate attention,
and they were taken up and introduced
int society. Just at thia time their
father died aud the family moved back
to Leavenworth, where they could live
moro oheaply. The death of their
father was followed in few months
by that of their only brother, leaving
the sisters practically without means
OF support. Some of their Louisville
friends sought them out in their In
diana home, and Alice, the elder, was
finally persuaded to take winter trip
to Florida with ono of them in the
hope OF regaining her delicate health.
There she met DR.. Samuel Sloan
Chauncey, q young New York million
aire, who promptly fel; in love with
the Indiana beauty. They were mar
ried, but the husband died within a
few years, and since that time his
widow has spent much of her time
abroad. Her sister Grace has lived
with her during recent years, and her
marriage to the rich Lord Newborouxh
followed stay of considerable length
in London.

Ihe census cnumerators in many
cases failed to realize the Importance
OF mortality statistics. In one of the
Eastern States an enumerater had oulv
two deaths in population of more
than $4,000, for the entire ten years,
which the supervisor thought was not
sufficient, SO he sent back the returns.
The enumerator responded with the
following explanation "Dear Sir -
There was four more people that died,
but they were WIDOWS"
