Farribault Republican:
Not a Rush. —According to
the London Times, there is not
anything like the expected rush
of Englishmen for the stock of
the Pillsburv-Washburn flour
mills syndicate, and the trust
company is left with about $5,-
000,000 of it on its hands.
Dawson Sentinel:
In view of the exposure of * the
wholesale robbery that has been
practiced upon "the farmers of
Minnesota by the elevator com
panies, the governor would be
justified in calling an extra ses
sion of the legislature to remedy
the evil, could he be assured that
that notorious boodle body
would not sell out to the opulent
wheat thieves. The experiment
might prove too costly, and up
on second thought we refrain
from advising his excellency to
take the risk. We’ll grin and
bear for another year; if the peo
ple do their duty and select the
right men to represent them —
honest men —capable men —we
need have no fear of the result.
Minneapolis Miller’s Trip to St. Louis,
May 25, 1887, Via C., B. & N. R. R.
Hear the pilgrim's joyful shout:
“The Burlington’s a dandy route,
Other lines we henceforth shoot.
This the only first-ciass route;
Rival claims we hereby scout.
None can please us but this route;
Locomotives never toot
Half as uice as on this route:
And of roadbeds hereabout,
All are rough except this route;
All in all, beyond dispute
The Burlington's the banner route.”
Various Useful Items About Prevailing
Wedding Customs and Usages.
As weddings are again the order of the day,
prospective brides and bridegrooms may find
assistance in a few items of etiquette relating
to the important occasion when the matri
monial knot is tied.
First and foremost, as an answer to a ques
tion that seems never to stay answered, it
may be emphatically remarked that a bride
groom should never wear the usual evening
dress coat at a wedding in the day time. The
proper costume is what is known as formal
morning dress, for which a black frock coat
is the correct one. No man of fashion puts on
his dress coat before his 6 or 7 o’clock dinner.
Where a death has recently occurred in a
family all friends, even the widowed mother,
should, according to as authority as
Mrs. Sherwood, lay aside their mourning for
the ceremony, appearing in colors. It is con
sidered unlucky and inappropriate to wear
black at a wedding. In our country a wid
owed mother appears at her daughter’s wed
diug in purple silk or velvet; in England she
wears deep cardinal red, which is considered
under these circumstances to be mourning or
proper for people in mourning.
A widow should never be accompanied by
bridesmaids or wear a veil or orange blossoms
at her marriage.
She should wear at church a colored silk
dress and bonnet and should be attended by
her father, brother or some near friend. It
is proper for her to remove her first wedding
ring, as the wearing of that cannot but be
painful to the bridegroom.
Wedding cake, instead of being sent about,
is neatly packed in little boxes, and each
guest takes one, if she likes, as she leaves the
house.
The bridegroom makes what presents he
pleases to the bride and bridesmaids; he has
also, of course, to buy the wedding ring and
send a bouque'; to the bride, but he does not
furnish the cards or carriages; this is done
by the bride’s family.
As soon as she can do so, the bride should
write upon note paper a note of thanks to
every one from whom she has received a gift,
whether they are stranger to her or not, as
in that case their gifts have probably been
prompted from regard to her parents or
fiance, and should therefore be especially
acknowledged.
The wedding tour and the seclusion of the
honeymoon is no longer as obligatory as it
once was, and some very fashionable couples
have gone at once, or after a few days’ trip,
to housekeeping in their own house, simply
issuing “at home” cards apd announcing a
day on which the bride will receive ner
friends.
THE CITY CHOIR.
Father an* me are gettin' old;
We ain't used to the way
Of goin’ to hear the singin’, stead
Of preachin’, Sabbath day.
So when we was with Andrew's folks,
An' Sunday momln’ come.
We a'posed we'd hear the word and jine
In the sweet hymns they sung.
An' when we stood in that dim aisle,
'Neath arched an’ fluted stone,
A ray of light touched father's hair
An' his worn features shone.
The organ's grand an’ solemn tone
Je3t sounded like a prayer.
An' when it stopped I seemed to feel
Wings heatin’ through the air.
"The prodigal,'’ the preacher said,
“Of sinnin’ weary grown,
Has left the swine an' now has turned
His face towards his home."
Then all at once the choir rlz;
It almost made me laugh
To hear that young soprany shriek,
“Bring in the fatted calf 1”
“Bring In the fatted calf, the calf,”
Implored the alto low,
An' all the rest jined in, as if
They couldn't let it go.
The tenor's pleadin' touched my heart;
A critter’d been a stone
Not to hev come o-friskin’ in
In answer to that tone.
Wa’al, pa, he sot with eyebrows bent,
Like bushes touched with snow
A-growin’ round some sheeny lake,
Half hidin’ its blue glow.
But when the bass had started in
A-oallin’ for that calf,
He jist reached fur his han'kerchief
To cover up a laugh.
“Bring In the fatted, fatted calf,”
Bellowed the bass; an’ stars!

Elis One Objection.
Adolphus Beagood (on the sofa) —My dar
ling, my love for you is of the deep passion
ate sort. Were it not for one thing I would
ask you to be mine, and would clasp you to
my heart 1
Beatrice Moriarty—O Adolphus! Name
the objection. Am I too frivolous? Do I
engage in flirtish actions? Do I?
“No, dear; it is not that!”
“Then why do you not clasp me to your
heart?”
“Because,” and his voice trembled, “be
cause you don’t seem to get on to the scheme
of pinning your collar on so that the point of
the pin will not use my neck for a cushion.”
—Lawrence Daily American.
Not Pride, But Caution.
Sweet Girl—Mother, Mr. Nicefellow is
coming to take me out riding this afternoon.
I may go, mayn’t I?
Mother—lf he drives up with a span of
spirited horses you can go; but if he comes
up with that broken down old nag he had
last time, you sha’n’t.
“Why, mother, I didn’t suppose you would
ever have such foolish pride?”
“My dear, a young man who comes with a
pair of spirited horses expects to drive with
both hands.”—New York Weekly.
Wanted the Royal Road.
Miss Lilly, aged 3, was being initiated into
the mysteries of the alphabet. In a few mo
ments she refused to repeat the lesson and
burst into torrents of tears.
“Then you don’t want to learn how to read
and amuse yourself all day with those nice
fairy books?”
“No;” replied Lilly, stamping her feet in a
rage; “me don’t want to learn; me only
wants to know how I”—Judge.
A Rising Diplomat.
Johnny—Oh, I’m so glad that I’ve got to go
to school today 1
Father—Why, Johnny?
Johnny—Because Bill Spriggins is going to
give me some lessons on the drum at recess.
Father—Um! I guess you had better stay
at home today—diphtheria i$ rather preva
lent.—Lawrence Daily American.
No Show for Him Now.
“No, sir,” said the old tramp, sadly; “I
can’t get no work at my trade. I’ve tried
hard, but it ain’t no use.”
Philanthropist—Your trade I Why, have
you a trade?
Tramp (tearfully)—Yes. sir. I’m a winter
waiter at a summer resort hotel.—Philadel
phia Inquirer.
A Lesson He Must Learn.
Father—My son, you must not dispute with
your mother in that way.
Boy—But she’s in the wrong.
Father—That makes no difference, and you
might as well learn, my child, once for all,
that when a lady says a thing is so, it is so,
even if it isn’t so! —Pick-Me-Up.
A Dead Beat.
First Policeman—l’m goin’ ter kick!
Second Ditto—Why?
“ ’Cause, there’s nothin’ goin’ on on my
beat.”
“Sort of a dead beat, eh?”
And then be was clubbed. —Lawrence Daily
American.
Insurance.
“I’m an insurance man, sir.”
“What do you want now? Youv’e made
me insure my life, insure the title to my real
estate, insure my plate glass and everything
else I own.”
“True, sir, but the next thing to get in
sured is your policy of insurance.” —Society.
What He Couldn’t Discover.
Christopher Columbus (from the head of
the stairs) —Say, I’d like to know where my
clean shirts are. 1 can’t find them anywhere.
Mrs. Columbus—Right in the top bureau
drawer where I put them.—Lawrence Daily
American.
Two Patches.
Patches are hated by a boy,
His clothes they never match;
Yet there’s one patch that gives him joy.
And that’s the melon patch.
—Goodall’s Sun.
Under a Ban.
Clarence—l was never so insulted in me
life. That old pawty came along and hung
his coat right on me nose.
Wilber—Why don’t you thrash him?
Clarence—Cawn’t, dear boy; he’s me tailor
and I have to let him do these little things if
he don’t dun me.—Judge.
YOUNG FOLKS’ COLUMN.
INSTRUCTION AND ENTERTAINMENT
FOR OUR GIRL AND BOY READERS.
The Prize Composition of a Young Girl
on the “Homo Pis,” a Native of All
Countries —How to Make an Amusing
Little Toy.
Not very long ago one of the youthful con
tributors to Wide Awake was awarded a
prize for the following composition on the
“Homo Pig:”
A HOMO PIG,
“The homo pig is a native of America, Eng
land, Mexico—and all other countries. Its
color may be either white, black, yellow,
brown or copper colored. Its head resembles
a porker pig’s, while its body is like that of a
human being. It is sometimes intelligent,
and may be taught many things. It is a
herbivorous and carnivorous animal, and will
eat almost anything else. Its chief charac
teristic is its prodigious appetite and its dis
position to have the most and best of every
thing, regardless of the rights of others.
“We were told the other day of a young
homo pig not more than four feet high that
can consume as much as the hired man at
each feed, besides eating almost continually
between meals of apples, nuts, turnips, can
dies, slippery elm and cinnamon barks and
other odds and ends.”
Slow Transformations Called Evolution.
A blue egg may become a robin. The la
tent life hid by marble walls may be warmed
into activity and gather to itself the crumbs
from a cottage table and weave therefrom
the tissues of life—feet to perch among the
blossoms, wings to fly among the trees, eyes
to revel in the scenes disclosed by sunlight,
and vocal organs to sing the song of love to
mate.
A tiny seed may become a “big tree;” for,
warmed into life, it sends its rootlets into the
nourishing earth and its branches into the
vivifying air, and gathers materials with
which to build a noble growth of the forest.
The rill born of a summer shower carries
the sand from the hillside and gives it to the
brook, and the brook bears it on to the river,
and the river transports it to the sea, and the
impregnated tide finds a nest beneath the
waves and in it lays the egg of an island.
Then this boss on the floor of the ocean has
the power to gather about it more sands as
they come from the distant hills, and still
more sands. Every summer shower gives it
more, and every storm adds to the sands
that are thus buried beneath the sea, until at
last an island is hatched, as it lifts its head
above the waves.
Robins grow to be robins by minute in
crease; trees grow to be trees by minute in
crease; islands grow to be islands by minute
increase. This slow but sure change on
change, Science tells you, is called evolution.
A Surprising Little Man.
A little figure may be made on the princi
ples illustrated in the cut, so as to balance
itself very amusingly. Select a piece of wood
/Q about two inches

When you place him op the tip of your finger,

and have put the wafters accurately in theii
places, ho will preserve his balance, even if
blown abont, provided be is not blown with
so much force as to drive him off his perch.
This little man will cause much surprise, in
consequence of the fine point on which be
oscillates.
Mustache, a Military Dog.
If the deeds of brave men find their record
in print, may not a corner now and then be
given to brave doings of our four footed
friends, the dogs? Probably no dog has ever
rendered such good service as the celebrated
poodle whose name stands at the head of
this short notice. French by birth, he fol
lowed the fortunes of the French army
through most of the Consulate wars, winning
special honors at Marengo. At the battle of
Austerlitz heVescued the regimental standard
from an Austrian soldier, when in the act of
snatching it from the hand of its mortally
wounded bearer. The plucky poodle drove
off the assailant, and then, seizing the tat
tered colors in his teeth, dragged them trium
phantly back to his own company. There is
nothing said as to his personal appearance
and bearing, or whether he was a large or a
small, a black or a white poodle; but for his
brave conduct, as above recorded, he was
decorated on the field of Austerlitz by one of
the French officers.
The Glass of Water Under the Hat.
An innocent trick, which may afford some
amusement at an indoor party of young peo
ple, is as follows:
Place a glass of water upon the table, put a
hat over it, and offer to lay a wager with any
of the company that you will empty the glass
without lifting the hat. When your propo
sition is accepted, desire the company not to
touch the hat, and then get under the table
and commence making a sucking noise, smack
ing your lips at intervals, as though you were
swallowing the water with infinite satisfac
tion to yourself. After a minute or two come
from under the table, and address the person
who took your wager with, “Now, sir.” His
euriosity being of course excited, he will lift
up the hat in order to see whether you have
really performed what you promised, and the
instant he does so take up the glass, and after
having swallowed its contents say, “You
have lost, sir, for you see I have drunk the
water without raising the hat.” ,

1 01 the first time in the history of Journalism a paper is issued
solely for your commercial and political interests.
THE GREAT WEST
Will not take up strictly agricultural matters. While the farm
ers have such magnificent journals in that department there is no
room for the crowding in of another claimant for favor.
But the farmer does need a journal devoted solely to his commer
cial interest. And, in this age of political aggressions and trans
gressions, it is impossible for any one to enlarge upon commercial
matters without primarily assaulting the overshadowing political
powers and abuses of the monopolists.
Our patrons will soon become convinced that Dr. Fish is the
man to take editorial charge of such a paper. He was for years on
the daily press in the Commercial Department, and is thoroughly
acquainted with Board of Trade grain dealing and Exchange mat
ters, and knows a bond from a pig’s ear. He has always been an
anti-monopolist”—outspoken and fearless.
EVERY FARMER IN THE WEST
knows how necessary it is to drop all local “ notions ” and “ whims' ’
ana likes-and-dislikes —and unite upon a broad state and national
policy. You are helpless without a press devoted to the work.
The toiler will see the mighty influence of his hardy legions, by num
ber and ballot, swept to and fro by thieving politicians, unless he
will put MONEY into a powerful press. It is the only remedy.
It will take an unflinching stand for justice to the toiler, and for a purer
political atmosphere. It will contain papers from the best minds of the
West, not only from Minnesota and the Dakotas, but from Kansas, Ne
braska and lowa.
Subscriptions for one year will now continue from date to Jan. 1,1891-
