"Be not afraid, my child" he said;
"all will be we'll" His voice, low and
sympathetic, was the first to break the
silence of that room. The girl ceased
crying and her hand lay quiet within
his own. Then the doctor spoke in a
whisper:

as possible" The other began:
"Richard Somers, do you take this

There was silence, and then Richard
Somers said gravely: 81 take this wom-

in sickness and in health, TO the best of
my ability, as long as | shall continue

Then upon his hearing fell clear,
musical voice, fawless as the note of
a dove, plaintive as the wind-harp Of
the pines:
"Yes," it said, "to honor him at all
times and in all hours while life shall
last, whether in the days to come we
meet again or we meet no more" He
lifted his head quickly, his hand closed
impulsively over hers, and a cry trem-
bled upon his lips.
THAT voice!" he said, deeply affected.
II have heard-but no!"-his chin
sank upon his breast; ''it cannot be-"
He caught the words of the unknown
speaker beginning the invocation.
"No! MOI" he cried, almost fercely
''it is a sacrilege!"
"Then," said the speaker, at is suf-

was a whispered consultation; the
inner door opened softly and some one
passed out.

powerfully affected the doctor.

THE OLD MAID.

Her eyes like quiet pools are clear.
Her placid face is sweet and fair,
The frost of many vanished year
Lies in her hair.
She has no memory of vows
Exchanged beneath an April moon,
Nor whispered converse meath the
boughs
OF roSe-bright June.
She never planned her wedding gown.
This sweet old maiden true and good,
Eor her life held no sacred crown
OF motherhood.
Tet to the shelter of her side
The little orphan children press.
'Tis known she mothers far and wide
The motherless.
The poor and suffering love her we'll,
Such ready sympathy she shows;
The sorrow -burdened freely tell
To her their woes.
With fate she never wages strife
1t must be since God knows best
And so she lives her useful life,
Blessing and blest.
And turns the darkness into day,
And as we clasp her hand in ours
We can but say:
Dear friend, so rich in love and truth,
With large, warm heart and steadtast
mind,
Twas we'll for some that in your youth
The men were blind.

The splendid exhibit of horses, cat
tie, ETC., - double what it was a year
ago-at the fair, demonstrates more
forcibly than ever before that our
farmers are getting interested. There
was splendid exhibit this year and
the indications are that the institution
will continue to grow and become q
fixed and permanent institution of
Griggs county. Our farmers have not
had much faith in county fairs in the
past because there has been no special
effort made along this line, but now
that the Griggs County Fair Assccia-
ton is solidlv established and the
stockholders are all farmers practi-
cally it is an institution that has come
to stay. Farmers all over the county
are getting deeply interested are rails
ing fine horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
etc., which in the future they will take
great pride in exhibiting. The capaci-
ty of the cattle sheds has been doubled
this year and if the season is favor
able next year they will have to be
doubled again. Rig ht here we want
to add that the success of the whole
affair is due to the interchangeable work
of the board of directors who have
worked hard and stuck to it from the
start.

Sen ator Marion Butler chairman o
the populist national committee, who
was in St. Paul recently unbosomed
himself on the political issues of the
country in the following forceful
language: On the silver question.
It is no question of ratio at all, or Of
silver or gold. Events have prove6l
that the populist was right. The only
question is that of the volume of
money. The immense output of gold
has righted things, and so long as it
continues conditions will be all right.
Continuing, Mr.. Butler said his
party did not believe in imitation nor
in a contraction of the currency, but
favored gradual increase. ''As to
FUSION said the senator, ''the popu-
lists will go it alone in the future. and
will poll the largest vote ip it's history
at the next election
Mr.. Butler says the democratic par
ty will be captured by the Hill element.
The populists will make their fight
on public ownership. not on every
thing. for that would be socialism
and populism and socialism. in Sena-
tor Buffers mind, are as far removed
from each other as the poles.
10 North Carolina the new constitu-
ton has settled the negro question.
The populists of North Carolina are
protectionists and the bourbon demo-
ccacy cannot hinder their progress.
Mr.. Butler is only like unto many
more of his party who imagined that
the country could be carried off it's
feet by fake like the sill er question.
but he has learned his lesson and has
found out that the integrity of this
country is too solid to stand fora dis
honest dollar. The passing of the
silver party has come.

BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS.
Currency Macerated at the National
Treasury Is Used by the Car
Builders

1t is the commonly accepted be-
lief that the old currency redeemed
at the treasury department is abso-
lutely destroyed. Such, however, is
not the case. A single wheel of
locomotive represents many millions
of what was once good paper cur
rency. From a bank note to car
wheel is quite a radical transforma-
tion, but it happens every day, and to
become a supporting atom in the re-
volving mass is the ultimate fate of
every soiled 81, $40 or 81 900 bill, says
a Washington report.
Between $5O,OOO,OOO and $5OO,OOO, 900
worth of paper money is cancelled
every year in the treasury depart
ment in Washington. and after being
macerated is concerted into filling
for railroad car wheels. This pulp
makes the best kind of wheels and
the government gets $40 ton for it
from the manufacturers.
Tie destruction of soiled paper
currency goes on daily and is in
charge of three treasury employees,
who represent respectively the Sec
rotary of the treasury, the treasurer
of the United States and the comp
trriier OF the currency. Bundles of
the Cancelled notes are dumped into
the big macerators and crushed irto
a puttylike mass. The pulp is then
treated with an alkali, which ex-
tracts +be ink. the stuff is dried
shipped in bales and forwarded 10
the car wheel manufacturers.
For every note so destroyed, IN
less it has come from a national bank
in liquidation, a new one of the same
denomination is printed at the 5u-
rcau of printing and engraving. Nj

ing. The national banks pay the ex-
Fenses. although the treasury depart

MINE PAYS CITY'S BILLS.
THe Municipality OF Baker, Wash,
Owns "A Profitable Deposit
OF Gold Ore

The town Of Baker City, Wash. is
one of the most favored of munich
palities, for it is the owner of wa
ter system which Is a veritable gold
mine. About year ago the city au-
thorities issued bonds to the amount
Of 100000 and established a gravity
water system to supply the city from
Elk creek, ten miles away in the
mountains. After the new system
vas nearly completed it was dis
covered this summer that the flow
of water was not sufficient to meet
the demands of the city and the
council issued more bonds and pur-
chased the celebrated Auburn ditch,
which brings a large supply of wa
ter from the mountains to a point
about eight miles from the city. The
water is excellent, there is plenty of
it and it will soon be connected with
the main water system, says a local
informant.
All this is very well, but there is
something distinctly peculiar about
tho new water system of Baker City.
The title to the Auburn ditch car
ries with it the title to the celebrat-
ed Nelson placer mines, situated
eight or ten miles west of the city,
and in securing the water the city
also acquired a gold mine, probably
the first ever owned by any munici-
pality in the United States. These
miqes have been leased in the past
year by year to people who have
taken out good returns every season.
This year the owners have made a
good cleanup. Next year the city
can operate the mine itself or lease
the privilege to others.
1t is estimated by mining man
of experience that the Nelson placer
mines will pay a sufficient revenue to
pay all the expenses of the city
government OF Baker City and afford
many improvements now greatly
needed by this rapidly growing little
city. For instance, the town is in
urgent need of a good sewerage sys-
TEN. electric street lights, street
pavement and systematic street

is also proposed to erect in Baker
City next year a permanent mineral
palace, to be constructed of gold and
silver ores and to contain a large col
lection of the ores from which every

Tobacco Is the Best Insecticide,

Most of the insects common to house
plants dislike tobacco as much as does
the cleanly housewife. The best way
to use it as an insecticide upon win

Of tobacco stems, place them in an old
basin, pour boiling water upon them,
and let them stand for several hours.
Then drain off the liquid into a basin
or tub deep enough for immersing the
tops of your plants in, and dilute it

faint tint of brown. Then take up the
water, washing them clean.-Ladies'
