The independent shippers of grain to

\ 6own rich from the farmers' wagons
K by a 25 yczra' etay at their stations.
K Some or tiitm have private banks ,
L some have Lousht farms , all are pros-
V pcrous. Tins house has not a word
F against these people. It is not doing
W business with them. It is doing busi-
K ncss with an army of farmers. It has
B givnn producers the best practical help
m tli.ca 'lie railroads made the big central
B markets possible. If 10,000 farmers
V have discovered that they have no
m > further use for 1,000 country
T C' .ain buyers , they have a per-
H feet right to go past them , fill their
A own cars , and ship their own grain.
\ Many years ago fanners discovered
V1 that the old reaper and the old double
m\ shovel onc-horso corn cultivator were
K too slow. They left them in the fence
W earners and bought Improved machin-
K. < ry. The manufacturers did not kick.
T\ \ They met the demand with self-bind-
W } crs and riding sulky plows. The world
mi has grown tired of many old things.
K The farming world is getting tired of
H [ paying others to do what it can do it-
T' self. If farmers wish to desert the-
R local shippers ( who may have been
t - needed 40 years ago ) , no amount of
Hr ' niuleibhncss on the part of the ship-
v per ? cm stop them. Grain shippers
W have an organ to keep up their cour-
B- a e. Their publication has again filled
E its columns v/ith abuse of the farmers'
L commission house. It is a case of sore
Hf' loo. They howl because they are hurt.
Wt The farmers understand this sort of
m- v/aifaro made on the house which has
K I \i them in ten c' .i with Chicago. Their
M lcttcs to us show that they believe
T this fact , viz. , that if there is enough
in grain shipments to light for , the
R li.mcrs want that margin. All that is
P " now needed to spread direct shipments
m , is some wcll-dcvelopcd opposition.
m rarmcrs are in a frame of mind to do
W about as they please this year. " \ VaL
L welcome any fair and honorable at-
tent'xon from the paid organ of grain
B shippers , and will see that its attacks
W. are well spread before independent
R' shippers and independent thinkers in
Hb a thousand farming communities. We
T have assurances that our efforts in be-
K half of farmers will be fully ap-
M predated and rcc ' procated. Any man
m or any house may be glad of a fair
Bt criticism from the enemy with such an
W army at his lack , but unjust , malig-
1 nan * attacks , made with the intention
cf vilifying and injuring us. are differ-
B cnt. Farmers never were in better tcni-
W per to demand their full rights and
K full profits for their labor than they
M are to-day. H. H. Carr.

The Serenade.
One day a man , who had pictures to
sell , came through the village where
Mr. Chester lived. The pictures were
mounted on large squares of paste
board edged with gilt paper and were
colored very brightly.
"Oh , can't we have one , mamma ? "
they plead , so their mother told them
they could choose the one they liked
best and hang it up in their room after
the had looked at it.
Lne boys were a long while choosing
among such a number , for there were
landscapes and roses and kittens play
ing with balls of cotton , but at last
Fred , the eldest , decided that one
called the "Serenade" was much the
finest. It represented a garden , a fine
house and a balcony. In the garden
were flowers of all colors , and a great
yellow moon made everything as bright
as day , and'beneath the balcony stood
a gentleman with immense black eyes
and curling hair , dressed in crimson
velvet coat and knee breeches , with
white silk stockings and buckled shoes
and lots of lace ruffles at his neck and
about his wrists. His big eyes were
fixed upon the curtains of a window
which opened on the balcony , and
through them was thrust a very small
white band holding a rose. Below this
picture were .these words , "The Sere
nade" and some verses. "When the
boys had paid for the picture they sat
down on the porch to look at it.
"I think , " said Frank , "that it is the
most beautiful picture that ever was.
Don't you , mamma ? "
"I believe it is the brightest I ever
saw , " said the mother.
"What does ' ' "
a 'serenade' mean ?
asked Fred.
"Why , the thing he is playing on ,
of course , " said Louis.
"No , " said mamma. "That is a man
dolin. When gentlemen admired ladies
in those days they often went at night
after every one was in bed to sing be
neath their windows. They chose or
wrote some song that told the lady how
they admired her , how pretty and nice
she was , and they often sang to a
guitar or mandolin. Sometimes they
did not sing , hut played the flute. This
gentleman is serenading the lady who
Is hiding behind the curtain , and this
is probably what he is singing , " and
she read the verses below the picture.
"Why does the lady hide herself ? "
asked Frank.
"Well , " said Mrs. Chester , "it was
considered proper , but , you see , she
is going to throw the singer a rose ,
which will show him that she likes the
serenade. "
"That's his bike suit , isn't it ? " asked-
Louis. "Where has he left his bike ? "
"Bicycles were not invented when
men dressed like that , " said Mrs. Ches
ter.
ter.Fred
Fred read the verses again.
"I think everything must have been
prettier then than it is now , " he said.
"I often think so myself , " said his
mother. "Men will probably never
dress like that again , but there could
be a little more romance in the world
if people chose. "
"I know what you mean , mamma , "
said Fred. After awhile he sat down
on the lower step of the porch and be
gan to write on his slate , and pretty
soon he called Louis and Frank to him ,
and they all whispered together. Their
mother saw they were talking over
some little secret.
After awhile papa came home to tea ,
and then they all sat about the table
until about half-past nine o'clock.
As they were very early people they
all went upstairs about that time , and
at ten the house was dark and every
one in bed or supposed to he.
However , just as the clock struck ,
Mr. Chester lifted .his head to listen.
"Dear me , what can that be ? " he
asked.
There was a sound of something not
unlike Chinese music under the win
dow , a queer whistling and a loud tap
ping and some laughing. Mrs. Chester
jumped up , ran to the window and
looked out The moon shone bright
and lit up the small lawn perfectly , and
standing upon it she saw three little '
figures in knickerbockers , wearing
sashes around their waists , plumed '
hats and making the music of which
we have spoken. Just as she looked '
Dut one of them began to sing.
"What on earth is it ? " asked papa.
"Be quiet , I am being serenaded , " 1
said mamma. <
The three funny figures were Fred i
md Lodis and Frank , with ribbons 1
trom the parlor window curtains about 1
M9KttflQiBSHSB ESa BiflDBBBHHK Mi&0wi j.jj. " Vi-r-'Ttf-i' * '
their waists and feathers from the
large duster in their caps. Louis was
playing on a comb covered with tlssuo
paper. Frank was tapping /his little
red drum , and it was Fred who "was
singing. And now his mother guessed
that what he had been writing on the
slate was this song , which he now
sung to a tune something like "Baby
Mine" :
We have no mandolin , mamma , dear ;
No flute and no guitar , mamma , dear ;
But we play upon the comb
And we beat upon the drum ,
And so we serenade our mamma , dear.
Because we love you so , mamma , dear ;
And you are so nice , * you know ,
mamma , dear ;
So pretty and so good
That you really , really should
Have a serenade sung to you , mamma ,
dear.
Papa laughed as he listened , hut
mamma did not feel like laughing.
"How cunning they are ! Oh , the
little darlings ! " she cried. Then she
ran to the vase on the mantelpiece and
took out three lovely roses that had
been given her that day , and threw
them down to her- dear little boys.
And oh ! the kisses " vthat she gave
them when they came to breakfast
next morning with the rose3 in their
button-holes'and what raspberry jam
with their pancakes.
A True Story.
Everyone knew and loved Father
Graham. He was an old-fashioned
gentleman with the simple heart of a
child. Because of his goodness his in
fluence was very great with both old
and young in the little town where he
dwelt.
. A young man of the village had been
badly insulted , and came to Father
Graham full of angry indignation , de
claring that he was going at once to
demand an apology.
"My dear boy , " Father Graham said ,
"take a word if advice from an old
man who loves peace. An insult is
like mud ; it will brush off much bet
ter when it is dry. Wait a little , till
he and you are both cool , and the
thing is easily mended. If you go
now , it will be only to quarrel. "
It is pleasant to be able to add that
the young man took his advice , and
before the next day was done the in
sulting person came to beg forgive
ness. /
Reads the News on High.
From the Chicago Dispatch : Just
Wang , the assistant janitor of the Tacoma -
coma building , hunted up a queer place
to read his morning paper today. He
was not satisfied with even the roof of
a sky-scraper , and so he climbed the
fifty-foot flagstaff of the thirteen-story
building at the northeast corner of La
Salle and Madison streets , where he re
mained for nearly an hour calmly pe
rusing the story of the preparations
for Logan day.
While he sat perched at the top ot
the flagstaff , 300 feet above the side
walk , people in La Salle and Madison
streets craned their necks and won
dered who was erratic enough to
choose such a place for a morning air
ing. But Wang was not up there for
his health. He climbed the fifty-foot
flagpole to fix the halyard , which re
fused to work when the janitor at
tempted to put up the flag for Logan
day. When he reached the top of the
flagstaff he discovered that the pulley
over which the rope passes was broken.
A new pulley was needed and while

Camels in the Snow.
Troops of camels , brought from
Mongolia are employed in winter to
carry supplies and material to and
from the gold placers of eastern Si
beria , and the spectacle presented by
a long line of these "ships of the des
ert , " tramping solemnly across the
snows of a Siberian steppe , is described
as extremely singular. Camels require
only about half much
as daily food as
horses , but on the other hand , they J
have to be liberally supplied with salt. I

neither roads nor tracks exist , reindeer - !

CARNOT MEMORIAL CHAMBER.
Widow of Franco' * Martyred President
Is'oir Ha * It Completed.
Mme. Carnet has now completed the
memorial chamber dedicated to her
martyred husband , and means that it
shail be used as a private chapal. The
com contains some praying chairs ,
President Carnot's desk and inkstand ,
and the souvenirs to which he was at
tached. On the walls hang the ribbons
that tied the wreaths that appeared at
his funeral , with the inscriptions turn
ed to view , and the different silver
wreaths sent from Russia are placed on
easel3. Albums filled with the letters
of condolence and telegrams received
from all the great ones on earth , and
photographs of every description re
lating to the visit to Lyons and to the
funeral are disposed in case3 especially
made for them. At Mme. Carnot's
death these family treasures become her
son's , but after that they will be given
to the state , if then the state is repub
lican and cares to remember the tragic
assassination of its president well
enough to receive their charge. The age
changes so rapidly that one can not
predict , even in a matter closely allied
to the nation's welfare.

The ratio of sickness rises and falls
regularly with death rate in all coun
tries , as shown by Dr. Farr and Mr. Edmonds
mends at the London congress of I860 ,
when the following rule was estab
lished : Of 1,000 persons , aged 30 , it is
probable 10 will die in the year , in
which case there will be 20 of that age
sick , throughout the year , and 10 in
valids. Of 1,000 persons , aged 75 , it 13
probable that 100 will die in the year ,
in which case the sick and'invalidn of
that age will be 300 throughout . .ie
year. For every 100 deaths let there ba

called GRAIN-O , made of pure grains ,
that takes .the place of coffee. The

from coffee. It does not cost over %

Wealth of England.
Highly important and significant are
the figures just issued , with compari
sons , showing the wealth of England
in spite of twenty lean years of de
pression. The taxable property of Eng
land and Wales in-1894 was 161,000 , -
000 , compared to 104,000,000 in 1870.
This increase of more than 5Q per cent
has taken place when the taxable value
of land has decreased within fifteen
years from about 40,000,000 to 33 , -
000,000. The land formed in 1870 about
one-half the taxable property of the
country. It is now little more than
one-fifth.
