BEN THE FOX.

While on a whaling voyage two or
three years ago l caught a young arctic
fox while ashore on one OF the islands
in Boring sea. We had a great time
settling on a name for him, but after
changing it a dozen times we decided
to call him Ben
After a few weeks we unclaimed the
little rascal, and Ben had full swing
of the cabin and deck, where he fol
lowed me about like house dog. He
and the ships cat grew to be famous
friends. though she hated him like poi
son at first
We had made some good haulS on
that trip, and our hold was well stored
with oil and bone, but the cap'n was
for pulling in one more whale before
we put about for home. We had met
acres of floating ice. but no icebergs.
While we were hanging around in
Boring strait for last big fellow the
weather. which had been middling fair,
changed and for two days blew great
guns.
At the close of the second day it
came on to snow, and it got so thick we
could not see a hands breadth before
us.
No one slept that night. Above the
noise of the wind we suddenly began to
hear another grooming, crealling sound,
which cap'n and 1 feared meant ice
bergS
Toward morning the storm quoted
down some, but the roar was still so
great that we couldn't hear the cap'n's
orders two feet away. There was no
sign of light along the horizon until
two bells in the afternoon watch
O'clock. Then the storm lifted sud
denly.
Cap'n and 1 had gone below for
mess. when we heard the man at the
wheel shout, "Icebergs ahOy!" and we
weren't slow in scrambling UP the
hatchway and rushing forward.

ship herself, and together they must

our ship slipped Into the great arms
waiting for her, and they closed on her
like huge Jaws. l hope l may never
again suffer the anguish l did then as
l heard her moan like human creature
in pain The cat gave one last uncanny
shrek that curdIed the blood in the
veins. and then we saw her no more.
In less than no time the monster
bergs had ground our ship into actual
sawdust. l never saw such complete
deStruction~-not a mast, not a plank
escaped.
Sometimes we rowed over the water
for hours. Again we had to pull our,
boats up on to great cakes OF ice and
travel afoot. pushing the boats ahead OF
us. The cold was intense. Our food
got pretty low.
But on the third day we made out in
the dim light a whaler not far of, and
we managed TO attract attention, and
they bore down on us and took us
aboard more dead than alive.
Poor little Ben never ate mOuthful
Of victuals after the death of old
Tabby.
When we were rowing he lay In the
bow Of the cap'n's boat, with his head
under his paws, and took no notice OF
anything that passed. When we were
footing it over the fee had to pull him
along much Of the way by main force.
His heart seenNtd to be broken.
The day after our rescue he crawled
weakly up to me on deck, feebly licked
my hand, and then stretched himself at
my feet In FIVE minutes he was dead.
His skin OF silky snowy fur is all
that is left of little Ben. I keep It
rolled away mostly where l can't lay

Fitted for Life.

Last week one hundred young men
and ! women graduated from the state
agricultural school. Next June several
thousands will graduate from the high
schools of the state. Stop and think
what these figures mean. Minnesota is
primarily an agricultural state and its
inture must depend more and more
uponthe scientific tilling of the soil.
Yet one hundred young men and
are being educated to go back to the
farm to make better homes and better
esoBss while several thousands are be-
Sng educated away from the farm and

professions. The state agricultural
school turns out useful citizens, ready

sCtfRElNER GOES 10 GRAND JURY
Accused Of Attacking Jos. Clements
With Knife.

On the night of Thursday, last week,
Joseph Clements and Joseph Schreiner
came together outside the saloon on
the corner of First North street and
the latter stabbed the former in the
abdomen with knife, inficting a
slight wound.
The offending man was brought be-
fore Justice Henningsen on Saturday
and had his hearing. He claims that
there was more or less fighting going
on between them and that on the occa-
sion when he used the knife he was
justified in doing So. 1t appears that
there was reason to suppose that he
had made vicious attack and he was
bound over to the grand jury. Not
having money or means OF furnishing
bail he was sent to the county jail.
1t appears that there has been more
orless misrepresentation of this matter
in the other papers of the city, charg-
ing that the affair took place in the
saloon belonging to Chas. Forster.
He claims that it has been his ambition
to have an orderly house and has
done his best to keep it so and that
this brawl did not take place in the
saloon and that there was not a sign
of trouble between the two men until
after they left the building, and then
he did not know of the stabbing until
in the morning.
Those who met the men earlier in the
evening say that they were quarreling
at other places and had fight some
time before coming to the Forster
place, but they had the decency to get
out Of his place before they did their
fighting.
The saloons of this city are perhaps
the most open and unmolested of any
of the saloons in the state and it is due
entirely to the reputation they have
had OF being orderly and quiet, but
within the past few years number of
serious offenses have been committed
in them after the hours prescribed by
the law for the closing of saloons The
repeated occurrences of these things
and the taking of undue liberty with
the license which the places of this
character are given in this city will in
a short time create prejudice against
them that does not now exist, and it
seems that it remains entirely with the
saloons in the conduct of the place
whether there shall be a rigid enforce
ment of the law or whether they con-
tinue as they have since the founding
of the city. It would be to their own
interest if they would form an organi-
cation and make rigid rules govern
ing thessale of drinks. to characters
who would be likely to stir up trouble.
It appears to US that in most places
the saloon is its own worst enemy
