The Mystery Of Human Cruelty.

The mystery Of cruelty is surely
almost as terrible as the mystery OF
pain, in way. to some minds at
least. They are closely allied. One
reads with horror in Mr.. Hudson $

Bile cruelty OF the men who catch birds
by baited hooks. and in particular OF
the absolutely fiendish cruelty of one
who broke the soft bills Of the birds

lures into the air and co,nplacently
watched them futter to the ground and

wen Answered.


In the early part Of the last century
there lived III Nantucket q young
ouakeress whose wit caused many
ripple in the demure circle of the
Friends.
When this pretty Martha attended
yearly meeting in Newport at the age
of eighteen her youthful spirit brought
her occasional grave looks from the
elders. although her real goodness of
heart Was never questioned.
One evening during the session Of
yearly meeting Martha was the center
of a group Of young people gathered
near the windows of the parlor in the
boarding house where some of the
Friends lodged for the time. The
young people were playing the simple
and amusing game Of humorous def
nitions." Martha's wit caused such
frequent laughter that solemn faced
person rose from his seat at the other
end of the room and asked in a loud,
stern voice:
Martha, can thee give me the def
milton of gravity?''
The pretty Quakeress colored at this
public and unnecessary rebuke. but
after scarcely perceptible hesitation
she answered demurely:
Il am not able to give thee defini-
ton Of my own, Friend Brown. but
perhaps that of De la Rochefoucauld
will suit thee. He SAWS that gravity
is a mysterious carriage Of the body,
invented to cover the defects Of the
mind.'"

PARKER SHOWS
ARE COMING.

| a IbAo4b 04V wa
ARE COMING.
The famous Parker Shows
have made arrangements t,
exhibit in this city for 6 days
and nights, commencing Mon
day, Aug. 8.
The Parker Shows have
their own special train of 20
double length cars, carry 10
new high class shows, a big
brass band of 20 pieces, their
own special electric light plant
and a $4,000 steam piano.
which can be heard for FIVE
miles.
Over three hundred people
are employed by the Show.
The country for miles around
will be we'll advertised and no
doubt thousands of visitors
will come to Wahpeton during
the Carnival week.
Following is what the Sioux
Fall papers say of the Parker
Shows:
SIOUX FALLS "ARGUs.LEADER".
The Parker Carnival Com
pany has certainly made good
all the promises made in ad.
vance of the arrival of this
combination. They promised
that they would bring the best
collection of shows ever seen
in the city and further that
every one of them would be
scrupulously clean aud free
from anything Objectionable.
In both promises they k-pt
word. They have given to
Sioux Falls a collection of at
fractions that no one need have
any hesitancy in attending.
If Mr.. Parker could stand at
the entrance of his different
attractions as the people were
leaving and hear the compli-
mentary expressions of those
who we're passing up he would
certainly have occasion to
feel proud. Not a single word
of criticism has been heard.
There is not a show on the
pike but what is worth the
price of admission asked.
Many have returned for a
second and third trip. An
Argus-Leader reporter last
evening heard one women re-
mark that she had made the
trip three times and she would
be willing to pay so cents to
take another one if she could
not make it cheaper.
Sioux FALLS "PREss."
Commercial Club made no
mistake when they contracted
with the Parker Amusement
Company to finish this attrac-
ton for their Festival this
week, was we'll demonstrated
as soon as the massive wagons
were placed in their respective
positions along the street and
when the canvas covers were
removed sight to behold was
revealed. They certainly pre-.
sent most beautiful appear
ance and when lighted up at
night the street is a blaze of
light. On all sides can be
heard nothing but favorable
comments on the gentlemanly
and orderly conduct of all con.
nected with the Carnival Com
pany.
The shows are all we'll worth
seeing and all bear the stamp
of "Parker Seal of Cleanliness"
and we believe that Col. Parker
will find it to his advantage to
make Sioux Falls annually.

of the Sup enc Court Tuesday morn
ing that he and his associates would

light, went ashore Sunday morning
i'm the heavy storm then prevailing,
on Metompkin beach, four miles north
of the Life Saving station. The YES
sci was anchored Saturday night, but
the storm was so severe that she
dragged both anchors, with all chain
out. until the beach was struck. The
crew of the Life Saving station hauled
their surf boat to a point opposite to
her, and tried to board her at 10 a. m.
They succeeded in getting their
line aboard of the vessel where IL
was made fast. The heavy sea caused
this to part. A second and success
full attempt was made, aud the yes
sells crew of nine were safely landed.
The rescue was manly and deter
mined one, and reflects credit upon
Capt. Taylor and his men.
The vessels crew were cared for al
the station. She is well up on the
shoals, and has lost rudder and keel.
The wrecking steamer, Rescue, OF
Norfolk, is at the scene and Will
probably attempt to save her.

In every part of the State there Is a
demand for better roads and that
steps be taken for their betterment'
whatever the cost to us. In fact, the
people of the State have about ar
rived at the conclusion that they are
paving more in mud tax than they are
paving in taxes to the State and they
cannot afford to founder" along in
the mud any longer. They demand
therefore, that their representatives
in the General Assembly do some
thing practical for the Improvement
of the public roads and for the RELIEF
of the public from burden not pro-
yided for in any tax levy under the
. law. AS the Petersburg Index-Ap-
peal so we'll says: "At prevailing
prices for farm products, the farmers
of Virginia would wax immensely
rich. but for the onerous tax on time
horsefesh and rolling stock which
bad roads impose in every part OF the
State. Time is money, and so are
horses and wagons, and the spend
thrift prodigality of the mud tag
king in Virginia is nothing short o
profigacy."

A bill introduced by Senator King
provides for the compulsory attend
ance of children between the ages of
eight and twelve years at the public
schools of Virginia. The bill applies
only to those counties and cities where
in the county or city school board
shall, by a recorded majority VOTE
avail themselves of the act. The bill
is a good one and mistake is made
in giving the school board any voice
in the matter. The parent or guar
dian, not disposed to give his children
the advantages now being offered IL
our public schools, should not be al
lowed to shirk that duty. Every
child ought to have of least four years
in school. Compulsory attendance
for longer period, perhaps, should be
required.

A faithful father both rue and kind
A truer father you could not find.

The Washington Post has published
a poll of Democratic Congressman as
to the advisability of nominating
William J. Bryan for the presidency
and the vote shows preference OF a
great majority of them for the Ne
braskan-98 for him and % for the
eight other candidates voted for
Johnson, of Minnesota, leading une
others with 81 votes. The poll of the
congressman, voicing as it doubtless
does. the wishes of their constituents,
shows the drift of public sentiment IN
terms too unmistakable TO leave any
one in doubt as to the nominee OF the
Democratic candidate for the presl-
dency when the convention meets III
Denver. In fact, the nomination Of
Mr.. Bryan seems to be certain, be-
yond any reasonable doubt, that the
Denver convention is now only re-
garded as the place for ratifying the
will of the people as to their wishes
in the matter.
