A STORY OF TWO FLAGS.
How a Mans Life Was Saved nt the
Very Last Moment.

Very Last Moment.
The following stirring incident of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile, and was related at Montreal in
1881 by the Rev. DR.. J. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
s'The man who gave me the facts l
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins,
an American sailor who had sailed to
port in Chile. On going ashore, he
said, to enjoy his day Of liberty he
drank little and became hilarious.
One of the police officers, instead of
warning him not to make a noise in
the street, drew his sword and, strik-
ing him a blow. knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down in
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot in the
morning Of the following day.
"Mr. Loring, the American consul. ex
postulated with the authorities that it
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such an offense, but. they paid no
attention to him, so he thereupon made
a formal protest in the name of the
United States government against the
barbarous act. Mr.. Haskins. the sail
or. was in the morning brought out
pinioned to be shot.
''As the English consul was prepar-
ing to hoist the union jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution Of the American sailor, of
which he had heard, was to take place.
! Rushing over the American consul, he
said, 'Loring. you're not going to let
tlYem shoot that man!
"'What can l do?' he said. I have
protested against it. I can do no more
"Quick as thought the English con-
sui shouted, Give me your flag! And
in a trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative
At once, taking his own union jack in
his hand, he hastened across the field
elbowed his way through the crowe
and soldiery. and, running up to the
doomed man. he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the un
ion jack over it, Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldier:
and shouted defantly, Now, shoot. i
you dare. through the heart of Eng
land and America!
"And they dared not do it, for the.
feared the consequences, so the MAJ
was at once released. In telling me,
said Dr. Peck, "Mr. Haskins said t
me. with tears streaming down hi
cheeks even then, They loosed N
then. and, oh. how longed to embrac
those two fiagsr "--Anglo-A American.

after sunset as possible the spectacle

has fallen, this bright assembiage Of
planets is almost ready TO follow the

POULTRY POINTERS.

A safe rule in feeding is to give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance of
bonenlaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance of light.
While wheat is one of the best grains
to feed to fowls, it should not be fed to
excess or it may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains.
Loss Of feathers is generally caused
by want of green food or want of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great a
weight as possible. Well fattened. well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.

The Spoiled Child.

Once upon a time young kingisher
went to the father bird and asked for
his fishing rod, that he might catch
some choice trout he had seen in o
nearby stream.
MOI answered the stern parent.
The young bird went his way and in
an hour returned dripping wet, saying
that he had tried to catch he fish
without a pole and had fallen into the
water.
''Therer' said the mother bird to the
father. Il knew you would spoil the
child II you spared the rod.'' q
Moral-The mother can always find
a way to place blame on the father, no
matter what happens.-New York Her

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Dec. 12.-Notwithstand-

point investment buying took the mar

ket rapidly sold up 114c Our markets
are now on an exportable basis and
foreigners are buying freely. Wheat
is about 6 cents higher than q year ago
while corn is fully 80 and oats II cents
higher. The character of the buying
today indicates wheat is going into
strong hands and we do not look for
it to go lower, while the whole situa-
tion insures higher prices in the eu-
tnre. ..,, !
Corn has at no time shown any
weakness. The same crowd hammer
ing with hopes of dislodging weak
holders found corn we'll bought and
picked up freely at 66c. Numerous
large buying orders we're placed at this
limit. Buy corn now. --.,1 -.~ar

scalpers were satisfied with smaller
profits than usual with the cost article

we look upon May oats as an unusually
safe investment. :-g.

yards. With prices a shade off after
several good sized stop orders were
reached there was seemingly no trouble

WEST AS a MARKET
RICHARD SYKES HAS BEEN LOOK
ING UP THE WEST FOR THE
! SHIPMENT OF NORTH DAKOTA

PRODUCTS a i. 1:
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: The
profits which Seattle as market Of
fers Washington farmers for soil and
dairy products are clearly shown by
the fact that the middle west now looks
on this city as the best Pacific coast
point to which to ship these goods.
R. Sykes, a large North Dakota land
holder. now stopping at the Butler
hotel states that this port is being
sought as an outlet for butter, cheese
and eggs by several of the states in
the Mississippi valley.
| Mr.. Sykes has large holdings near
jam mestown, N. D. The town Of Sykes
ton, some thirty miles from that place,
is named for him. Most Of the farm
ers in that vicinity have purchased
from him their holdings. With the
change Of North Dakota farms from
vast wheat fields to smaller parcels of
land each bearing diversified crops,
Mr.. Sykes is in thorough sympathy.
He regards it as most promising for
the future of the prairie common
wealth. Although his present trip to
the coast was made for the purpose of
looking after investments in this city
and in California, Mr.. Sykes has put a
part Of his time into Investigating the
market Seattle offers for the products
of stock and poultry raising.
II have written from here to several
| North Dakota papers on this subject, -
| said Mr.. Sykes last evening. II have
stated that Seattle is the best market
to- which North Dakota. farmers can
ship such products. This city buys
it's eastern eggs largely from Nebraska
and Iowa. The same is true of its
butter and cheese. The price is high
1t will, in my opinion, continue so be-
cause tbs city supplies Alaska, an6
Alaska is going to consume more eacl
year for many years to come.
| North Dakota farmers can make
! more by shipping their butter and eggs
to this city than they can by sending
them to Minnesota markets. Ths
| farmers of this state have a perman
ent and constantly improving marlSet
! to look to in Seattle. But I believe
that the export trade of this city il
going to keep growing so fastathat thu
place will remain the best market fo1
our farmers. I have investigated con
dftions all along the line of the North
ern Pacific, through Montana and east
ern Washington. They nowhere ap.
