"Ahar says he. How did you como to

That button says Uncle Jase, was
on the sojer coat O. my old pap's Uncle
Splitter when he come over here with the
Britishers to fight ag'in us fellers time o
the Revolution. Uncle Splitter was always
sorry he fit on t'other side, end he said
he'd never a done it if he d only had an
inkiin o. what nice folks we was over here,
and so when he come UP after the war and
settled in the Knob country folks took
sech a lkin' to him that they never said

to Simon, and we see lie had got up and
was fastenin' tie hver down on the pail
o. loose chawin' that always sets on the
counter, and it looked to us as if he had
remembered that Uncle Jase always got
sort o. absent minded when he begun to
make history, and seemed to fergit that
the terbacker wasn't there, like almanacs,
to help hisself to.
$50 when we see Simon fastenin' OF tho
kiver on to the pail o. loose chawin' we
knowed that Uncle Jase ID be discouraged
and that the history o. that sojer button
d more than likely be lost. As fer me. I
didn't care so much, fer | wasn't lookin'
fer no evidence ag'in my argyfyin' that

Uncle Jase and says:

POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGES.
One Reason Why They DO Not Conduce IA
Rapid Increase OF Population.

Many persons have the idea that the
practice Of polygamy tends to the more
rapid multiplication OF the race. This view
Is certainly not held by those who have had
an opportunity to study the institution,
Some interesting views on the effects OF
polysamy In Africa have just been COM
municated by Mgr Roelens, who is in charge
of all the Catholic missions on the upper
Congo.
He has been travelling through the
Manyema country to the west of Tan ganyika,
where. he says, before the occupation OF
the land by the Arabs. polygamy was
practised only to very limited extent.
But wherever the Arab has passed in Central
Africa polygnmy has become the general
rule The dream Of every man Is to have
o harem and keep in it as many women as
he Ii able to procure.
The result OF this practice 10 the gradual
diminution OF the population. Wherever
the white man travels among native VII
lages In which polygamy is practsed on
large scale he is struck by the absence OF
children.
It is true that some chiefs have many
children. But they are the exception, and

Short SHIPMENTS.

September shipments of iron ore
from the Messaba range fell off, as ex-
pected, but hardly as much as looked
for. For Minnesota they amounted to
1.S43,0 1000 tons, decrease of 5000
tons from the corresponding month Of
1902, making the season to Oct. LIST
1904, 900 tons, or 265, 900 tons ahead
of the previous year to the same date.
The decline from other ports for the
month was considerable, and the total
for the year has fallen 100000 tons
below 1902. 1t is supposed that the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern may ship
about as heavily the present month as
it did last year, blu all other roads are
