FIXING UP FOR WINTER,
Hayin’ time ih over,
Summer’s on the wane,
Got in all the clover,
Binding up the grain
Crops is off tur market,
Money’s in the bank,
Gittin fixed fur winter,
With the Lord tur thunk
Grind yewr axe up, Charley,
Gityewr nails out, Nod,
Fell yewr trees fur fuel
Batch the licifer’s shed.
Lixin' up fur winter,
Celler stocked with* juioe
Popcorns, lire an’ apples,
Say, note, what's the use?
The Folly of It.
Although on summer love he fe.t,
At last he finds Septemuertnaker, it dwindle;
For, back in town, the girls all cue him dead.
Anti make him see too late it. is a swindle.
SCANDISK.
Th*>re are some men, anti, 1 am sorry
to say, some wonie, whose aspiration
does not reach higher than to gossip
from door to door and make false re
ports against their neighbor to bring
reproach upon their good name and
often by a nod, wink or smile add fuel
to the flame, and yet not say one word.
The only way some people can bring
themselves into notoriety is by abuse
and viilification of others. The man
who serves a sentence in the peniten
tiary or sleeps in a prison cell does not
suffer the. grief, shame and disappoint
ment us he whose honest, innocent
character is coated with the paint of
slander.
We cun see how man can be forced
by poverty and hunger to steal; how
men in the very heat of passion will
slay their fellow-man, or. by the wreck
of habits, can take their lives into their
own hands and plunge out into an un
known future, or debauch themselves,
but there are souls too lofty, hearts
too pure to understand how this mon
ster of all iniquity can ruin the repu
tation or destroy the character of an
innocent being.
Raphart, the great Italian painter,
with one stroke of his brush could
draw the scenes of a landscape that
would be enchanting to the enthusias
tic tourist, but with all his untiring
zeal ana energy and with a lifelong ex
perience as a painter, could not dr,aw
the picture of a heart so black, corrupt
arid foul that would be a fit sample for
that vile slanderer which stalks its
nrev at noonday and firings upon its
victim at night.
How shall I treat scandal and slan
der? “Never be in too big a hurry,
and never pay attention unless dignity
and duty demand vindication; and
when vindication is impossible, wait on
God. Never brush off fresh mud from
your clothes. Let it dry.”
Slander will run its course after
awhile, and though we nmy never be
pronounced innocent by all, yet char
acter untainted will shine again fike
the sun through the clouds, even if the
sky never becomes clear.
Be encouraged when the threads’ of
slander have been wrapped around you
without a cause, for the birds always
pick at the. sweetest berries and the
most luscious fruit. It is the good
fruitful tree that is beat, bruised and
thrown at. Never let the trail of slan
der or the threads of condemnation stop
the great car of of your progress one
moment. 'The perpetrator is only seek
ing to bring you on a level with him
self “If God is for you. who can be
against you?”
Real the thirty-seventh Psalm.
There are a certain class ot men and
women who live in rainbow riches and
sunset gold that can see only the evil
deeds of their fellowman’s life, and
they take them up before the world
end thoroughly air them, making them
as dark as it is possible for the paint of
slander to stain, keeping your good
deeds covered up and detracting from
your dignity and goodness all that is
possible to make you wretched
Deep down in the hottest hell, where
dwells the foulest devil, surrounded by
every conceivable punishment, wreath
ed in flames and wrapyed in darkness,
is the everlasting abode of the vile ser
pent-tongued slanderer, whose eternal
reward is just and whose punishment is
Out the revenue of his labor on earth,
infinitely worse than theft, murder and
arson. I’ve seen these slanderous men
and women go during a revival and
kneei around the alta and talk to sin
ners. God pity them and open their
eyes to see the error of their way be
fore it is to late forever.
OCCASIONAL
Tho wonderful performance of the
North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm dtr Grosso has taken away
the breath of even, those who expected
the most of her. To cut off atone sweep
18 hours 14 minutes from the quickest
time ever made by any ship on the trip
from New York eastward across the
Atlautic is something never dono since
steam itself took tne place of saii3. The
Kaiser’s eastward time from shore to
shoro, 5 days 15 hours H) minutes, cut
off by 7 hours 25 minutes even her
champion westward run, which was 1
hour 56 minutes faster than any voyage
ever made before by any ship. Still
greater performances are expected of

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
The return of gold to this eomtry
is generally accepted as one of the
most, substantial signs of renewed
prosperity.
The gold arrived or shipped durtng
the past week amounted to $8,850,
000. and it is thought that before the
movement stops §40,000,000, or 50,-
000,000, will come. The Treasury
now holds nearly $150,000,000 in gold,
against si ’25.000,000 last year and $93
million in 1895,
The failures for the quarter to .Oct
1 were tho smallest of any quarter
since 1802, and the business payment*,
tnrough banks the largest by $ 208,-
triiliion dollars, according to Dun’s
Review, ever known in September
The week’s exchanges were 8-8 per
cent, larger than in 1892.
The aggregate returns of the rail
roacs for September were 12-8 per
cent, larger than last year. There
was a net increase of si 3.160,440 in
the money in circulation for Sept.
The export trade has been enorm
ous. but there was a falling off during
the past week of I million bushels of
both corn and. wheat. It is thought
to he a hint from foreign customers
to our farmers and speculators uot to
hold buck for higher prices.
An advance in wool loan average
of 20 cents a pound adds to the satis
faction of the farmers.
The hoped-for rise in wages to meet
the increased cost, of living comes, us
usual, the last and slowest of all. —N.

Kansas.
There is not so much politics borne os
Kansas breezes this fail as usually there
is. The reason for it may perhaps be
gathered from a late news item to the
effect that a Kansas farmer had lost a
S3OO diamond in his wheatfield. When
a farmer is making money enough ti>
buy a SBOO diamond, he has not time
lor politics.
Tho wheat crop of the grasshopper
state was an immense one. Valuable as
It was, however, tlm live stock market
ed in the state this year promises to he
still more so. The reason that “droughty
Kansas” was covered with morii
gages m i then deserted 15 years ago
was because the right crop fur tho semi
arid parts of ilio stale had not b..', n d,s-
COV’ ltd. Tho \v. -1 ■in end of the state
was never intended for agriculture, but
it will raise a crop far more valuable
than grain. This is live stock. In
western Kai as th ra have b< • n during
the past summer 200,000 beeves fatten
ed and prepared for market, i'ho plan
is to ship the cattle from the hot re
gions of tho southwest in early summer
and iir isb them off for market on tho
pastures of cooler Kansas. The scheme
has worked profitably both to tho Tex
ans and others who rear the calves and
to the Kansas grazier who buys them lor
fattening. One yotutg man cleared $lO,-
000 in six months in western Ku • ;• by
fattening beeves for market. He will
not go to the Klondike at present.
in one month, August, the Kansas
City stockyards revived from Kansas
alone 183,000 cattle. The hogs and
sheep marketed at the same yards from
Kansas daring the same time brought
the number of food animals received
and sold there for August up to
809,307. Of course many thousands
went to Chicago and other points,
i The climate of Kansas is such that,
with the alfalfa crop which grows so
luxuriantly, the food animals need to
be housed and fed only two mouths of
! the year. This gives the grazier in that
locality a great advantage over the
Stock man farther north. From present
indications the God forsaken, mortgage
plastered, poverty stricken, droughty re
gion of wo torn Kansas will in the im
mediate future become one of the rich
est sections of this Union. We shall see
what effect this will have on the pol
itics of the stare. -

FIRST GOLD IN ALASKA.
Wslives Xvt ! !• Ransom Captive
Captain Harry A igg". IT. S. A. (re
tired), who is said i.i ha a relative of
the man who built lb vgs wharf, San
Francisco, away be- k in the fifties, tells
a wonderful talc oi ilia discovery of
gold in Aki.-:l:a > tin- hater part of tho
sixties. He was on hr.n in that coun
try at that time at a point near Juneau,
and says that ivn in 'n o curiy ‘lays
great lumps of gold wo. -ahib.pd by
the natives.
“Often natives from the interior
would come down wearing necklaces
made of nuggets picked on from the
crcelfs in tho in vior," ho said th -
other day. “At one. lino there was a
tribe which had been conquered by an
other and a penalty was exacted. Scone
of the conquered tribe came over tlie
Oliilkat pass with a certain amount of
gold, which on being weighed was
found to he short of the price demanded
by the conquerors. Several chiefs were
In Id as hostages while the remainder
cf the tribe was directed to cross the
mountains and procure a sum sufficient
to liberate the others. They were gone
several months, and when they cam
back an amount more than Ir edell to
pay the ransom was brought in. No
could ascertain whence tiis money came,
but from tho direction in which they
went and the length of time occupied
in making the trip it was believed that
they went r.ianv miles inland.
“1 believe that these men went into
tho passes of the Klondike country and
picked up by the crude means at their
command enough gold to secure the
am ■ ■■ needed to complete th ransom.
It vas a topic of discussion among those
who were detailed on duty at that rime,
and many plans were laid to secure in
formation relating to the location of
the claims, lat these Indians kept the
matter secret and would never disclose
where they £ -riveil their treasure. 1
believe that even eo far back :*.s 80 years
ago they went into the country which
is now exciting the at tr: cion of the
whoh world and obtained the money
necessary to release their relatii"B.” —

James McDonald, the fci-cnau, sat on

down the glistening lines of rail and for
a time did not know that them was any
thing wrong with the ongtir.'er.
He glanced in that direction, but only

The fireman stopped the train and

this, asset forth by Mr. Chamberlain.:

could build ships to beta.) advantage
than any other people could do.
In 1800, however, a change came ovor
tl-.e shipbuilding industry. Ves.--.-ls of
iron mnl steel instead of wood began to
be used. Great Britain had both ti e
mines and the workers to i ike tlm
cheapest and best steel vessels, hence
the industry pass-: 1 bodily over to her,
where it has remained ever since. Cvn
tuissiofier Chamberlain holds out i!.:>
hope, however, that this s*lnation is
again to be changed. With ova i..mi;cir-o

I we are beginning to show that we can
make steel at lower rates than England
■ can. This fact, united wiih the .-.101l
iiud knowledge gained by American
workmen in constructing the vessels of
the navy, makes it look ; if Amorican
goods might yet pat to s; a in American
built ships at no far distant, time.
When our marine commerce is men
tioned, Americans naturally think of
tho sea trade of tiro great . cei '.s. par
ticularly that between lSuropi and the
United States. How small a part of our
real shipping trade that constitutes Mr.
Chamber lain shows us by figures. Ho
divides the marine trade of the country
