Northern Pacific stock did star per-
formance in Wall street yesterday that
easily eclipsed NIL previous performances
of similar character. The stock at
the opening was quoted Mt ITO and at
II :O5 had reached the $50 mark. Before
II 80 IL was selling at 81 1000 cash per
share. 1t is q season Of great excite
ment among railway manipulators but
the furry in Northern Pacific was most
sensational and the shorts were
squeezed very effectually. 1t is to be
hoped that the spectators will not
continue their mad actions until they
effect general markets disastrously.

HelNing Your Town.

1t is not the site Of town but its
character that makes it desirable place
to live. A live and prosperous town is
desirable one, and town may live and
prosper and yet be small. Every citizen
of a town should be interested in its
prosperity.
One of the ways to help town is to
always speak well Of it. 1t is true pa.
triotism to stand by your town and
self.interest as well. AS man who
speaks i'll of his own family lowers both
himself and his family, too, in the esti.
nation of others, so does man who
cares little for his town and community
seldom care much for his country. The
man who is respected by others respects
himself and his neighbors, and patriot
ism begins at home.
Another way to help your town is to
do all you can to beautify it. Beautify
your own property all you can and then
do all You can to help beautify the
streets. Be friendly to everybody and
courteous to strangers. Your civility
viii help to make good impressions and
will be carried away and cherished.
Never forget that you are part of the
town and your department helps to
make up the strangers estimate of the
place.
Sell all you can and buy all you can
at home. Every dollar that is sent OF
carried away from the town makes il
that much poorer. II you have the
means invest in something that will
give somebody employment. Always
cheer on the man who goes in for i'm,
provement. DO not kick against o pro
posed Improvement simply because it i,
not at your door. A town that is i'm
proving is also spreading itself ont II
q rich man starts project encourag,
him. If "a poor man starts help him.
Don't be afraid to thrust your hant
down in your pocket to help a publ,
enterprise. More towns have beer
killed by such refusals than in any othel
way. The citizens of any prosperou
town are always public spirited ant
united.
Stand together. Work together TO
the interest Of the whole town, alway
stand ready to do your part Dom
grumble and spend your time in proph
esying failures, but help to make ever,
enterprise success. Every man owe
something to the community for hi
own success be it great or small. b
energetic, be enterprising and your ex
ample will be imitated.-Shelton Clipper

that to preserve his health and comfort
three OF his fangs would have to be re

snake was taken from his tank gently and
