Yet these limbs never shock the
most fastidious because of their bear

I am considered.
Though not specially fond OF jew
elry, I get new ring each year, which
I carry in my trunk.
1t is perhaps remarkable that, though
never travelling, l have a trunk, and
that my trunk is never opened until
after my death.
My bark never disturbs the neigh

frighten tho equarrels that play about

to be slabsided and clubfOoted upon
taking it to a sawmill.
A wooden leg is necessary to my
good health and standing in the com.

Wet feet really do me good.
My head is perfectly familiar with
the higher branches.
While l myself am temperate, my
leaves get blown off in various ways
every autumn. This leads, / have al.
ways noted, to their fall and speedy
decay. I have seen them in a great

WHEN THE RAIN IS OVER.

When the rain is over,
When the clouds have passed,
And the golden sunshine
Beams again at last.
All the Earth is fairer.
Every freshened flower
Lifts its head to answer:
Thank you, little shower!'
When the shower is over,
When the rain is done,
Natures all the sweeter,
Brighter shines the sun!
When the tears are over,
When the pain has passed,
And the smiles and dimples
Come again at last!
Never mind the bruises,
Laugh away the fears,
Answer like the flowers:
Thank you, little tears!"
When the tears are over,
Smiles come back again,
Life is all the sweeter
For the drops OF rain!

A good way to build up-a town is
for all the merchants Ia it to patrO-
nize one another as far IS can be
done. The trade between the indi-
vidual merchants IN a place should
amount to considerable in the course
of year. But business men are no
better than farmers or any other
class when it come to sending away
for goods that really OUGHT to be pur-
chased at hone, especially is this
true when it comes to printing.
Hundreds and hundreds of dollars are
sent away every year to printing
plants in the large cities for work
that local printers can do just %
well. There are few towns where

That was frightful wreck ON the
main line Of the 500 at Enderlin, N.
d., last Sunday night. Eleven peo-
pie who were homeward bound to
spend the holidays with relatives and
friends, we're crushed to death with
out moments warning. Many also
were injured. The passenger which
was late ran into switch enigne
that was standing on the main track.
The baggage car and the smoking
car telescoped, the floor of the former
sweeping the seats of the smoker to
within few feet of the rear end,
killing or injuring most of the pas
sengers therein. There seems to be
altogether too much ca,elessness and
negligence in the operation OF our
railways. Most accidents are due to
the above causes.

We don't know much about the
ton-mile principle that tine railroads
are said to apply to the freight carry
ing business, but the gist seems to
be that there shall DO no movement
of freight until full load for the
engine has accumulated The cost
Of hauling full load is really no
more than hauling half or quarter
load, hence there is econmy in the
bigger haul. II the same princiL e
be applied to the passenger business,
then the train will leave only when
