LITERARY REWARDS.
wrestling Match Between writers,
in Which the Truth is Bad
ly Strained.

"Well, if man goes into literature ne must
expect his pay in something besides dollars
and cents remarked a Chicago novelist as
he stroked his blond imperial.
Eyes, that's so" said second, big man
who writes western stories and delights to
have himself photographed in picturesque
felt hat and an overcoat with cape tolt.
"Now, for my Prairie Yarns the best L
could do was $4,000, and they hagged over
that as if it had been an amateurlsh per-
formance."
"They treat me the same way" said the
little blond man, who has trick of holding
his head on one side. Now for my Sky
experimentation piece of Chicago color,
with Mrs. Seymour Seymour in 1t, and the
Snobs murder case, and all that, West side
and North side and all that-what do you
suppose | got for that? A beggarly $4,000,
and was silly enough to take it down and
let the royalty go" -,
They looked at each other narrowly. The
man who writes Prairie Yarns" said he
must be going AS the elevator descended
with him swiftly he muttered:
"You never can tell one so big that that
prig won't go you one better"
The little blond man laid his throbblng
forehead in his hand and mused: 1T takes
something more than the author of Prairie
yarns to feaze me. e."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A MINNESOTA FARMER
WRITES OF WESTERN CANADA.
Is Now Located There, Farms in His
NeighbOrhood Being Taken by
Former T.. s. Residents,

The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. Benz Davis, Canadian
Government Agent at St. Paul, Minn.,
give an excellent idea of what is said
Of Western Canada by those who have
gnne there during the pas" two or three
years.
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near Dales-
boro, ASA, for a short time we had
,t of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business, hale, hearty
and contented, enjoying the finest win
ter we have ever seen. We have got
very comfortably situated, with con-
siderable preparation for a crop, and
all hopeful. | think this is very fine
country, and if the past seasons crop
is not an exception, which they claim
not, | believe this is going to be the
Wheat Field of the West. 1t is fill
ing up fast. In this township last
spring there were 25 quarter-sections of
land vacant and to-day there is not one;
I can stand at my house and count 10
houses where there was not one last
spring, with six more to go up this
spring. This is only sample of what
is going on all round. We intend to
build church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strict
ly in line. 1t would have amused you
to have been here last spring. There
were crowds of landseekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
discontented. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
letter in the paper, only for which he
never would have come here, and he
was very hostile, but eventually he got
place, and to-day claims be would not
take Thousand Dollars and move out,
so am glad he is satisfied.
'Well, my dear Sir, as Arthur Finney
is about to move out in March, with
his family and also one of my sons, any
| thingyou can do for them to assist them
along and to make things smooth as
possible, will be greatly appreciated by
me. I will close for this time, and will
write from time to time to let you know
we are living. Drop US few lines to
let us know how things are moving in
ST. Paul. Yours espectfully,

A Big Difference.

When William Mckinley, president
of the United States, was informed of
the kentucky calamity he expressed
his deep regret at the incident, and
beyond expressing his regrets he said
n.ething. When William j. Bryan was
told of the shooting he proved himself
once more the prince of demagogues
by remarking that he hoped the re-
publicans would be given "a monopoly
of violence" Jumping at conclusions
is the unmistakable stamp of little
mind, and Mr.. Bryan pleaded guilty
promptly and frankly when this OPP
portunity was presented him. There
was at first nothing that would indi-
cate to the fair-minded man that there
was anything in the case other than
the mere fact that an eXcitable crank,
filled with a mad desire to precipitate
a more intense excitement than that
which had been eXtant in Kentucky
for some time, had taken the affair
into his own hands and brought mat
ters to sudden and undesirable eli
max. President Mckinley showed his
conservatism, which is. but a technical
name for wisdom, by expressing no
opinion and pronouncing no one
guilty without evidence. This is but
another opportunity for American peo-
pie to compare the two men, their
methods, their wisdom and their cali
Der, and to form a Judgment as to
which man is the safer to trust with
the guidance of great nation
through constantly recurring vicissi-
es.-Indianapolis Journal.

milwaukee and Kansas City Anxious
to Have Democratic National Com

Washington, Feb. 21.--The delega-
tions from Milwaukee and Kansas
City. and so far the rivalry seems to
be confined to these two places, put in
a busy day advancing the claims of
their respective cities as the place for
holding the next democratic national
convention. Both cities have ample
headquarters at the Raleigh hotel.
where the national committee is to
meet. National Committeeman Wall
expressed the opinion last night that a
majority of the committeeman now in
the city are favorable to the Wiscon-
sin city. while eX-Congressman Dock
cry was equally positive that the Mis-
souri, city will secure the convention.
The delegates from Kansas City lay
such stress on the political effect OF
gathering of such a large body OF rep
rescntative men and say that for this
reason. if for no other, the convention
should 90 to the Missouri city.
Friday the executive committee of
the National Association of Democrat
ic Clubs meets here and the cities of
indianapolis and Cincinnati, it is said,
will compete for the honor of enter
tanning the association at its annual
meeting. \ contingent of prominent
citizens of the former city arrived yes
terdav and will formally extend an in
vitation to the committee. 1t is com

A young man, the son of an Eng

came to this coun-
try to rough it in
IN the west for year
or two. At first, says Youths Com
panion, he made his headquarters
with some American friends in Den
yer, and one day came to them to
announce that he had found work as
driver of a team on ranch. THAT
will never dol" exclaimed his host.
"You will be thrown with people Of
the lowest class day and night. The
life will be intolerable. "Ahi" cried
the Englishman, laughing. You for
get. There are no classes in America.
Every man knows that his neighbor
is his equal, and so makes way for
him. That is the reason | came to the
states" Two years later he visited
his Denver friends again, to say good
by. 81 was mistaken" he said. II
thought there were no social classes
here, but there are a thousand, and
every man is fighting to get into the
one next higher than his own. That
is the reason | am going back to
England. We do not jostle each other
there" An American jurist. a man
of great dignity and simplicity of
manner, once recognized this condi-
ton of affairs in the reply which he
made to his tailor whose work was
bad, and whose manner was offensive:
81 hope that, should my grandson,
as may easily happen in this country,
ever make a coat for your grandson
his work and his manners may be
better than yours" This defect in
American manners could be easily rec
tilted if each of us would rememb Der
that good breeding, in prince or coal
HEAVIER alike, consists in sincerity. in
unconsciousness of self, and in kind
ness and thoughtfulness of others.
The man who thinks he is honoring
American principles when he says,
"All men are created free and equal,
therefore my right is as good as my
neighbors," should not forget that
the rule works both ways, and that
his neighbor's right is therefore as
good as his own.

There is a remarkable healer in Mis-

fesses to cure poverty by "absent treat

centrates his best thought on the pa

in a passive or receptive state and alb

Bryan the DemaSogu

True to his character as Il demagOgue,
Bryan says that the cowardly method
employed to secure Goebel's death will
convince the public of the desperate
character of the fight made against him
by the republicans" Though without
the slightest information as to whether
Goebel was shot by a republican, dem
ocrat who voted against him, a friend
of the unarmed confederate veteran
whom Goebel shot dead in a street fight,
a bitter personal enemy, or some para
noic such as has figured in other assas-
sinations. Bryan jumps to conclusion
because he thinks he sees chance for
partisan advantage. He charges that
republicans have disturbed the peace of
Kentucky and are responsible for the
deed of the assassin. Back of Il surface
plausibilty there is boundless low Gun"
ming in Bryan. No one is reader to play
the dcmagogue for the smallest ad-
vantage. Pretending to be a friend of
the people, he was the associate of
Goebel. and there is not in this country
an enemy of fair elections with whom
he is not a close intimate and party
conspirator. Before the end of this year
the people will know Bryan as he is
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The cheering report is made that in
the large cities of the United States
the number of cases of blindness oc-
curing in young children is steadily
diminishing. This is due partly to
increasing knowledge on the part of
the medical profession, partly to the
advance of sanitation in home and
school, and partly to increased and
more humane knowledge among the
people generally, In other words, it
is a result of the advance of civiliza-
