A COUNTRY vicar discovered not
long ago that one of his male servants
was in the habit of stealing his pota-
toes. He mentioned the fact to his
curate, and asked advice. "Well,"
replied the curate, "of course you
must remember what the Bible says {:
IF any man take away thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also. ," II see,"
unused the vicar. "Well, in this
case, as the man takes my potatoes,
I'd better give him the sack"

While a quarter OF century ago,
says writer on horses, there was oc-
casionally choice equine specimen
seen on the public thorougfares, the
bulk of the horses lacked the superb
quality which now characterizes the
market horse. The trend of horse
breeding has been in the line of i'm
provement, and the evolution of the
survival of the fttest is gradually
bringing all market classes to a high
degree of perfection. There was
magnificent animals imported in the
Sos, but many inferior stations were
also brought to this country to per-
petuate the infrmities and imperfec-
tions of their ancestors. While breed
ers in America are taking giant strides
in the evolution of perfect equine
types, the breeding industry in Ell
rope has also been signalized by dis
tinguished improvement. The gen.
eral public is being educated to dis
Germ the fine points of excellence in
equine conformation, disposition and
action, importers are compelled by
the demand for the best grades to
purchase the prize winners of Eu-
ropean shows. 1t is only the survival
of the fttest that fills the public
want, and any defects or unsound-
ness relegates the foal to the sphere
of geldings.
As like produces like, breeders are
forced to use the best to improve their
stock. In the features of conforma
ton, there has been uniform improve
ment on the fiat ribbed, slab sided
specimens that were formerly SO fre-
quently met in wholesale markets.
Greater breadth Of quarters, width of
breast and depth through the heart
are prominent as compared with the
bulk of the heavy work horses 20
years ago. The evolution is not only
in the direction of more perfect SYM
metry, but in improved constitution
and a more rugged horse. The nom
descripts are nearly all weeded out of
the industry, and the foals now ma
turing will make better animals Of all
classes than the majority of horses
now on the market. Fortunately,
the whole problem of breeding is
under the control of intelligent farm
ers, who are raising horses on the
general principal of the survival of the
fttest.-Indiana Farmer.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early R'sers do
not gripe nor weaken the system.
They cure biliousness, jsundice, con-
stipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet efectually, and
giving such tone and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause OF the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert decided tonic effect
upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble.

new RED Lake BILL.


Congressman Steenerson has In
troduced a bill which, it is expect
ed, will overcome the objections
of the Red Lake Indians. The
bill eliminates the granting OF sec
tions sixteen and thirty-s six of the
lands covered by the bill and which
the Indians were asked to donate
to the state, and declares the Penn
bina Chippewas not entitled to
share in the proceeds of the sale OF
the lands.
The Red Lake and Pembina
Chippews made treaty with the
United States in 1868. and under
that treaty it was recognized that
these Indians held the country
which they occupied in common,
and they were practically one
b and. The country that was
ceded under the treaty OF 1868.
was at that time occupied princi-
pally by the Indians living along
the Red River and who were
known as the Pembina Indians, yet
the Red Lake Chippewas drew anr
nuities for fouteen years on ac-
count of that cession.
The Pembinas always had the
privilege, which was recognized
by the Chippewas and the govern
nlent, of locating on the Red Lake
reservation prior to 1875, and had
they not been removed to this res
crvation they would in all prob
ability, have all removed either to
Turtle Mountain or to Red Lake;
in fact a great many of them did
remove to Red Lake where they
now live.
The government induced the
Pembina Chippewas to remove to
this reservation in 1875, but when
they did this it was not the inten-
ton of surrendering any OF the
rights they hold in common With
the Red Lake or Turtle Mountain
Indians.
We trust that Mr.. Steenerson
will not insist upon the proposed
injustice to the Pembina Chippe-
was. This proposition may be
popular at Red Lake but it is any
thing but popular on this reser-
ton.

ever, favors one amendment which
will satisfy the lumbermen. In
the consideration of this matter
no one seems to be taking an in
