It is a sav ings bant which never breaks, and pays large interest to its deposi tor*. It has been truly said that real estate is the basis of all wealth, and he or she who possesses it, be the quantity ever so small, has something tangible on* which to rely in times of adversity, as it always has a fixed value, which cannot be said of perishable prop erty. The owner of a piece of real es tate is the owner of a HOME, or that out of which he or she can make a home at pleasure, and the time is not far distant when the ewner of a home will be independ ent indeed as well in this country as it now is in foreign countries. Every pereoft expects to be the owner of a home sometime, but he masses of the people left the opportunity for securing a home pass unheeded, and BOOU prices and terms of payment are beyond their reach, and the consequence is they live and die without a home, as poor when they leave the world as when they entered it, never having acquired a portion of the earth as their own, when a little exercise of good judgment at tbe opportune time, and a small ofatlay, would have secured to them a good home, and the money which they spend for rent during their lifetime could be applied to the comforts and enjoyment of iif% 4,Real *krJ-'- I it. ./ Of laid by for a "rainy day," They who arrive at the "shady side'1 of life WITHOUT A HOME are indeed to be pitied. Contrast the condition of the person who owns his own home with the one who rents. Which will you select? You can have either condition it remains for you to decide. The wisest and most prosperous people in this country are purchasing all the real estate their means will admit of, and are advising their friends to do likewise. A very intelligent and wealthy old gen tleman who resides in Illinois, and who has traveled extensively and been very observing, wrote us a few. days ago, and in his letter W •aid: estate in your section of country must very soon be in ac tive demand at much advanced funda rices, as all of the good, cheap are gone, and your lands must command prices equal to those of thestates just east of you, and your cities, especially such business centers as Madison, must grow rapidly and city lots advance ra value accordingly. 1 look upon investments in real estate in your locality as «the best that can be Bade at this time." Opinions coming frot& men of this character art value a&d should be heeded. If the possession of a home were Wbt within your reach, how earnest would be your wish that it was, and how great your anxiety to be the happy possessor of a piece of his earth you could call your own. While there is now a most favor able opportunity for securing such a home, do you know that this op portunity will soon disappear, and you have not improved it by purchasing, yon "vill ever after re gret it. If you we a single person, boy not only for future home, trot as an i U INVESTMENT. Every dollar deposited in'a city lot or a farm will be there for you when needed for your own use, a no Will earn many more dollars by INCREASE IN VALUE. The foundation of many fortune has been lain by the purchase of a city lot If you have a family, then by all means you want a home. If you wish to live in the city, buy a lot, or more than one if you feel able, and com mence at once to improve it by planting trees on it if nothing more, and building on it as soon 9* practicable. Tou cut make a #an for7 the purpose of building if you owh your lot If you are a farmer and expect to retire soon gnd secure a farm, or come to the imntfor jmijMwerf educating your children then you certainly Want one or more city lots near the college. Better secure tliem while they can be had c* Ahe FAVORABLE TERMS now offered,and you will then have them when you reed, them and have a better selection also than you will have later on, as well as the advantage of the present LOW PRICES. If you have been renting a house in the city, stop a moment and think how much you have paid out in rent, and if you have been renting long you will soon figure out that you have paid out enough for rent to build as good or a better house than,you are rent ing, and still you have no home of your own. Why not put this money into a HOUSE OF YOUB OWN, in which yon will feel a natural pride, and have a permanent and pleasant, home for yourself and family in your declining years. A little esergy on your part jrill do it Start at oxfce by BUYING A LOT. If you are renting a farm figure a moment what yon are paying out annually for rent and how soon this rental would bnj a farm here. What yon pay out in rent in two or three years in Iowa or Illinois would buy equally as good a farm South Dakota. Stop renting in and coins out and buy a farm of your own and feel the independ ence of OWNING A HOMJt Don't delay this until next year, as very much advanced prices for South Dakota real estate, which is sure to come, will soon prevent you from buying, and your opportuni ty of a lifetime will be gone. But many will say, "I have not sufficient money on hand with which to buy even a lot* Sup pose you have not and there are many of this class—you can pay a small amount down, and we will give you all the time you need on the balance. You can pay a filed amount each month, or make pay ments any otheir way to suit your convenience, saving a little for the purpose from your other expendi tures, and before you know^ it your lot is PAID FOR and you have not missed the mon ey the amount of each payment being so small. Had you not saved and expended these small amounts in this way, the chances are that this same money would have been expended in some trivial way and you would have nothing to show for it Surely there is no & SAVINGS BANE equal lo a piece of real estate, and especially if that real estate is sometime to be your Home. It will surprise you when you leok over our list, to gee how LITTLE READY MONEY it will take to secure a fine resi dence or business lot in this city, or a beautiful farm in this county. We own aud control nearly all the "eal estate which we handle, hence can give exception ally low prices and easy terms of payment If you only have few dollars to spare now, come in or write us, and we will lit you out with a good lot, or more than one if you want, and arrange payments satisfactorily to you.

B. KENNEDY, Pns. U S o Kf & HOW HE ROPE FREE. HE PEAT KN EASTERN RAlLWAV OUT Conductors Were Uroeivrd by Xlim Fur More Thau a V«r—A Simple Wkkk Beqaind Only Neftv Control— Trick* of Conductor*. Thorp Is a well settler! bell£*? till1' ttie fart of most people that, the conductors tho steam railroad* have an intuitive knowledge of the persons who hay© not paid their teres, and that, while they may occasionally pass a mm without taking up his ticket, so phenomenal ii the memory of the average conductor and so well does he remember faces that it is almost impossible to deceive him. While this may sometimes be true, as a rule it is the passenger him self who give* the cue for the conduct or's action. The man who deliberately attempts to evade the payment of a fare in nine cases out of ten will by his looka and action say to the conductor, "I have not paid my fare, and I don't intend •o.'' Some eondntters with short mem ories and distrust of their abilities for detecting the frauds will ewitinHooily call out the word "tickets" they puss through the cars, where many change# are taking place between stations, at the same time extending their hand to ward each seat The man who has not .paid feels tkat this is a direct appeal made to himself and responds according ly. But if this ruse does not succeed in making the would be "beat" deliver up his ticket it so far changes his face and demeanor that he often shows conscious fuilfci turn ticket is then peremptorily demanded. It sometimes happens, however, that even all the tricks and artifices of the conductor will fail, and a man will suc ceed daily in evading payment of his fare, not merely for weeks, but for months. A remarkable case of this kind was recently observed on the Fitchbntg railroad. For more than a year a man employed in one of the large wholesale houses in this city has been taking a train from one of the suburban stations, and acqtinintancee who rode on the same car were surprised to see that he never paid fare. 1 At first it was thought that he might have a pass, which the conductor, know ing him well, did not require him to show. But it was learned that he al ways paid his fare when coming from Boston, when the conductor is sure to demand a fare from every person on the train. Then came the suggestion that he had an understanding with the con ductor of the train on which he rode when going to Boston. But it was found that when the conductor was changed to another train and a stranger took his place he also failed to collect fare from the man. So for weeks the man was watched with much curiosity by the passengers who know of his success and were curi ous to ?ee how long it would continue. They saw that he invariably got on the train on the left hand side, so that he could not be observed by the conductor, who stood on the station platform. As soon as be entered the car he took one of &e many unoccupied seats next to the window and lost no time in becoming deeply absorbed in the contents of a morning paper. When the conductor came through the train to collect fares from the passengers who got in at this station, this man, instead of ignoring his presence, as most men similarly sit* uated would have done, gave a rapid glanoe from his paper, looking the offlU cial squarely in the eye, and rammed his reading with just the suggestion of impatience at the interruption. The re proof conveyed in that glance, carrying with it a positive assurance that there was no disposition to evade anything, wa£ so emphatic and pronounced that it left no doubt in the mind of the con ductor, if he had any before,% that the passenger had got on the train at an other station and bad paid his fare to Boston. There was something about the man's appearance as well as his ac tions that assisted in the Seeping up of this deception. He bore all the evidence of a substantial, honest business man of middle age, and far above evading pay ment of a 5 cent fare But it was singu lar that day after day a sharp and dis criminating conductor should be so eas ily deceived, and apparently against his own convictions, for on several occa sions he reached fear a fare, but was checked in his advances by that re proachful look with which he was eon fronted. But the end eame at last, on that train at least. Either the conductor's suspicions were so completely aroused that ho determined to satisfy himself whether he was being imposed upon, or else some one had called his attention to the deceit practiced, for one morning he reached out his hand for the fare, but received only the swift and impatient glance. This did not satisfy him, for when the man returned to the perusal of his paper he was tapped on the shoulder and his fare demanded in no uncertain terms. A commutation ticket was re luctantly produced, punched without Comment and returned to the pocket whence it was taken. The next morning the passengers watched curiously for the next move in the game, but the man had evidently given up the contest on that train, for he has not been seen on it since. As he was known to have evaded paying fare on that train daily for more than a year, it was roughly es timat^l that the Fitchburg Railroad company was thus defrauded out of not less than $20. —Boston Transcript^-f FORDING A CHINESE RIVEftf^' VMs Bag la Stream's Bed by PtiiiUs to the Vnwmrf. Traversing the country from south west to northeast and in a pouring rain, we visited the villages of Si-kou-ying, Hao fcwei-ying and Bang yein. Here tie women, dressed in their best clothes, stood watching us on the doorsteps, which woald have been quite a pretty sight, with their multicolor jupoua and traoMfc, ha4 j*» effect not been partly spoiieu by the horrible ucrormity of their feet squeezed into microscopic ehfrt s. possess a pair of these shoes as worn by a mandarin's wife, and the length of them is only 3 inches. Toward noon we reached Ya-lo-wan, on the banks of tho Hung-ho river, a miserable village oii a minuscule hill of yellow earth. The river had to be waded. A Chinaman—a beggar, I thought— volunteered to take animals and men safely across for a sum of money, for be said there were large holes in the river bed, in which our animals would have lost their footing had we crossed by ourselves. I would not employ him, as I hate to be imposed upon by humbugs, and knowing the little way which these gentlemen have of digging largo holes on purpose in the river bed while dry in summer, so as to extort money from timid travelers, I proceeded to "sell" him. I guided my mules not right across tflb water, for the holes are generally dug -where most unaware people are likely to crass, but a few yards farther up, therefore landing every one safo on the other side, with the exception of one donkey, who, in strict similarity with all the evil spirits of China, insist ed on going on his own account in a straight line in front of bis nose, with the result that when he reached the middle of the stream he fell into one of tjje boles, and with the weight Of the load he wa» carrying disappeared. Only the point of his ears could be seen wag ging out of the water. The holeman, if I may call him so, who had eagerly been watching for this, ran in the wa ter to his rescue and saved his life, for which act I duly rewarded him.—Fact nightly Review. •SOME PEOPLE'S RELIGION. Mart** Crawford Write* a Pointed U«D« lecture on lnMeauwe. are very good and devoht men and women who take the world—pros ent and to come—quito literally, as a mere fulfillment of their own liinita tioas who look upon what they know as being all that need be known, and upon what they believe of God and heav en as the mechanical consequence of what they know, rather than as tho cause and goal, respectively, erf exist tence and action to whom the letter of the law is the arbitrary expression of a despotic power, which somehow must be looked upon as merciful who answer all questions concerning God's logic with the tremendous assertion of God's will whose God is a magnified man, and whose devil is a malignant animal, second only to God in understanding, while extreme from God in disposition. There are good men and women who —to use a natural but not flippant simile—take it for granted that the soul is east into the troubled waters of life without the power to swim or even the possibility of learning to float, depend ent upon the bare chance that some one may throw it the life buoy of ritual re ligion as its only conceivable means of salvation. And the opponents of each particular form of faith invariably take Just such srrod men and women, with ail their limitations, as the only true exponents of that especial creed, which they then proceed to tear in pieces with all the ease snch an nndne advantage of false premise gives them. None of tbern has thought of intellectual mer cy as being perhaps an integral part of Christian charity. Faith they have in abundance, and hope also not a little but charity, though it be far men's earthly ills, and theoretically, if not al ways practically, for men's spiritual shortcomings, is rigidly forbidden for the errors of men's minds. Why? No thinking man can help asking tha little question which grows'great In the nn answering silence that follows it-—Mar ina Crawford In Century. DRIVEN TO CANNIBALISM, Bsfchnoe, Surprised by the Winter That Polled I'eary, Eat Each Other. Intelligence is given by a Whaling captain to a, Dnudco paper of a most grewsoino discovery in the arctic re gions. In the beginning of August, While-tho Dundee whalers Aurora, Ba laena and Esquimaux were in Prince Re gent's inlet searching for white whales they landed a party in Elvin bay. The men on landing found near the water's edge a ring of dead bodies of Eskimos, who had evidently died of starvation. Before death the members of the par ty had been driven to the awful extrem ity of cannibalism. Some of the bodies were untouched, others were partially eaten, and clean picked bones lay near. One body was decapitated, and the head was found some distance away. The re mains were in a comparatively good state of preservation. It is supposed that the party had been surprised by winter and had failed to get away from a district which is desti tute of game and very barren. The crew of tho Balaena bring home mac.y relics of the nnfortuj^ate Eskimos.
