BLIND MANS GUIDE
TIRES OF HIS JOB.

Willie Berkholtz. little lad about
Is years of age, who has been lead
ing blind man around for the past
two months and who visited this city
last week became soured on his Job
Saturday and started to walk to his
home town. Milwaukee. from Crook
StOn.
About noon Saturday he asked far
mer this side of Crookston for drink
of water. The farmer asked the boy
where he was going. I'm going
home" said the lad, his eyes filled with
tears. 1--WE got a mother living in
Milwaukee and l know that she wants
to see me-" The farmer could not help
but feel for the lad. He told the boy
that he had better go with him: that
he might be able to help him out. The
boy was taken to CrookstOn and
enough money was collected to buy
him ticket to Milwaukee.
The boy worked for blind man
who sells handkerchiefs for living.
The blind mans name is NJ Herman.
When in Milwaukee Herman picked
the boy up and they have travelled
together for about two months. The
boy says that he got his pay. which
was $40 per month. but that the blind
man was cruel to him and that was
the reason that he skipped out and
left him. He said that unless he had
gotten assistance voluntarily he would
have walked every foot of the way
home. He was the happiest boy in
is states when he boarded the train
for Minneapolis last night.

Hills Sound Gospel
Chicago Re cord Herald.

James J. Hill, the head of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern sys-
tens, Is an enlightened and profound
student of the agricultural and in
dustrial situation and prospects Of the
great section with whose growth and
prosperity he is so closely identified,
and his messages are always worthy
of the most sympathetic considera-
ton.
His discussion Of the agricultural
needs and problems of the country is
full of suggestion. Minor or inciden-
tai statements may be open to ,ues-
ton. Thus he attributed England's
acute unemployed problem to the i'm
minent exhaustion Of her iron supply
and the decline of the industries de-
pendent on that supply. British iron
and steel exports are still increasing.

current year in that direction being
given in official reports as equal to-
$16.O00,000. The same is true of ma
chinery, where an increase of $4,000,
900 is recorded. The best thinkers in
England hold that her land system,
survival from feudal days. is re-
sponsible for the drift to the cities aud
the growth of the army OF oilers and
paupers.
But in the main the gospel Mr.. Hill
breaches is a sound and admirable
one. He does not. We take it. mean to
draw special indictment against
American farmers. The waste. the
neglect. the bleeding of nature he
complains of are no popularity of any
people or of any age. Intense cultii-
walton of the soil has always been a
matter of necessity rather than choice.

their claim has never been substanti-
ated by any authentic figures.
There are. in all, 1873 clips shipped
from Miles City. Owing to the wet
weather during the hauling season
there was considerable wool from the
upper country which ordinarily finds
its way to Miles City which had to
be taken to Belle Fourche.
The best price paid this season was
90 I-2 cents to Alex Innes. There was
one clip delivered here which sold for
better price, that of Jacob Rapstad,
of Big Timber; this clip, however, had
been contracted for at "a cents early
in the spring. Last year there were
