SURE WILL THE HARVEST BE J
f you will use tho Dowagiac drill now
on sale at tho store of Burks & Cadman
corner of 10th and Q streets.
We want to say to our readers and
riends that wo hare seen the above
named drill and think it ono of the best
drills in tho market. It seems to 1x3
well made and perfect in its adaptabil
ity to the wants of tho farmers of this
state. Wo think the time nas come
when our farmers should try more
argoly sowing fall wheat, and wo think
they would bo more careful in the
selection of tho seed they sow and use
a good drill for putting it in tho ground
they will get a crop.
Ast. tbo above drill, wo would say,
call and see it before you buy a drill,
or it certainly has merit in its con
struction and operating qualities. Call
or their catalogue giving an tno par
ticular points of importance.
Active Tersunsion.
An old clergyman who formerly lived
In Maine was remarkable for his ec
centric ideas and sayings. Among
other curious ways he was in the habit
of asking a blessing on each particular
thing on the table. At breakfast one
morning there was some bear meat,
and his petit ion was as follows: "Lord,
bless the coffee, bless the bread and
butter, but as to the bear meat, Lord,
I dont know what' to say."
At another time there had been an
affray amonfr some men, and one of
them was hurt. A trial took place,
and the old clergyman, who had seen
the fight, was called as a witness.
"What was Salson doiHff?" was the
first inquiry.
"Oh,-he was slashing around," re
plied the old man.
"Well, sir, what is that?"
;,IIe was just knocking about him
here and there?"
"Now. sir. tell us plainly what did
he do to this man?" asked tho lawyer,
with a note of vexation in his voice.
The. clercryman thought a moment,
and then answered slow'y;
"Why, he enticed him."
"Enticed him! How?"
"lie enticed him with a crowbar. He
used the crowbar to persuade the man
to entice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded," concluded
the reverend gentleman.

Too True.
There is more than one kind of
truth-speaking which is not to tho
truth-6peakor's credit. An example
is furnished by Forest and Stream:
A disappointed hsh-seller was bo-
laboring his slow but patient horse in
a street in Georgetown, D. . G, the
other day, and crying his wares at
intervals. Herrin', herrin', fresh

A tender-hearted lady, seeing his
acts of cruelty, put her head out of a

you no mercy?"
"No. mum. " was tho reply; "nothing
but herrin'."

When Did the Little People Live
What Was Their Doom t
In a quaint old geography which I
once had tho good fortuna to o'vn tho
western coast of South America was
decorated with tiny figures of men
and women among whom meandered
the words: "The land of the Pig
mies." More modern maps make no
mention of such people, says a writer
in Youth's Companion, and I had for
gotten that I had believed in their
existence, when I happened lately to
come across them again.
A few months ago. perrhed on. tho
summit of one of the highest of the
Peruvian Andes, were discoverol tho
rui of a wonderful pigmy cHy. the
home of a race of dwarfs; and some
of its most interesting reiics all that
were transportable aro now on their
way northward, to find a resting-placo
in our national museum at the Smith
sonian institution at Washington.
From these discoveries it appears
that the old belief in a t'ny race, in
habiting the lowlands on tho Pacific
coast, was well-founded. There the
little people lived, unmolested, so far
as we know, for an indefinite time,
till they wore at last drivt n buck upon
tho mountains by a larger and
sti'onger race. Then they built and
occupied the desertod city which to
day excites our wonder.
This city of tho past is built with
great care, 15.00U feet above the
level of the sea. surrounded by a wall
twelve feet hip;h and three feet thick.
In its center i3 a high rock, crowned
by the citadel, which is still in a fair
state of preservation.
The houses were all flat-roofed, cov
ered with flat pieces of stone, over
laid with earth to keen out the rain.
Each stood tlistinct from its neighbors,
and opened into the comuoa court
yard, which had a single gateway into
the nearest street The street was
about two feet wide. From three of
tho courts openings have been found,
leading down into round rooms, six
fee.t in diameter, unlighted and dreary,
which may have been used as dun
geons. In another part of the little city
have been found several mummies of
adults. One of them is twenty-seven
inches tall an acknowledged chief
and ruler, perhaps, by virtue of his
majestic height and bearing.
When did the little people live?
How long ago did their carefully
built homes fall into decay? What
was their doom? How strange it
seems, that after it may be thous-
auds of years, they should live again
for us, :snd tho last tokens of their
existence be brought to excite the at
tention of the newest nation of the
world.
