The mortgage is a self-^upjvort ing institution. It always holds its own. It calls for just as many t’.ol lars when grain is cheap a-> when it is dear. It is not affected by drouth. It is not drowned by the rains. It never winter kills. Late springs and early frosts never trouble it. Potato bugs do not trouble ii. Moth and rust do not de-troy. It grows nights. Sundays, rainy days, and even holidays. It brings a sure crop every year and sometimes twice a year. It produces cash every time. It does not have to wait for the market to advance. It is not subject to speculations on the bulls and bears of the board of trade. It is a load that galls and frets and chafes. It is a burden that the farmer cannot shake off. It is with him morning noon and night. It gets under his pillow when he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulder during the day. It consumes his grain crop. It devours his cattle. It selects the finest horses and the fattest steers. A NARROW ESCAPE. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was taxen with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in Con¬ sumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time.
