Es­ timates vary, but it is doubtless the largestcrop ever raised. The increase of more than ;»50.<XK>.- 000 bushels in this crop far outweighs in value toy loss in the yield of wheat, ami also any pos­ sible loss in the yield of cotton But the yield of oats is also the largest on record, aud the yield of hay and potatoes excellent- It is safe u> say that this year s agricultural produce will represent at least one hundred millions more money than last year s. at average prices for both^ Trade was slightly check­ ed by artificial prices. In pork prod­ ucts prices have yielded but little. ' andpacking falls much behind last year. Corn has fallen but one cent, notw.thstauding the great' yield. At. Kansas City the market for cattle is overstocked, and prices are so low aa to check movement. The boot and shoe tnde is large. The iron market is stronger at Philadelphia, but weaker at Pittsburg. The reports from interior points are uniformly hopeful. The cotton crop is about three weeks late, and forwarding is delayed by the. Stoppage ot traffic. At all Western points be­ yond the danger of fever business is reported good or improving, though more complaint of slow collections is heard. Money is generally in ample supply, but the stringency increases at Cleveland and the demand is strong at St. Louis and Milwaukee. Kansas City reports loans paid with unusual regularity, and money is easy at Omaha. August imports exceeded ex­ ports by £11,071,352. and the excess for eight months was jS87,420,!tei8. From New York the exports for the last four weeks have been 4 per cent, below last year's, with imports equal to those of 1B?7. l'he business failures for the week are 23). For the cones ponding week of m the figure* ffeTc 195, ing murdered her two imbecile step-daugh­ ters of mature age, has been convicted of murder in the first degree. A strong effort will be made to save her from the gallows. Her victims were suffocated by smoke from incendiary tire kindled in their sleeping-room. Mrs. Garrett had tired of caring for them and - had often threatened their lives, and hence she was arrested for the crime. THE Western District of. Lamonre County and the southern and western parts of Stutsman County, in Dakota, hare been swept by prairie fires, resulting in crushing losses to fanners. Thousands of acres of wheat and hay were burned over, farm houses and outbuildings were destroyed, and large quantities of grain in stack reduced to ashes. The fire ranged in many directions, but no reports of loss of life have been received. The prairie grass was thick and dry and burned like tinder. MILTON WESTON A FREE MAN.

Williams, and Arthur L. Thomas, has been filed in Washington, as follows: It recommends that Utah be not admit'ed to the Union until sucli time as the Mormon people shall manifest by their future acts that they have abandoned polygamy in good faith, and not then until an amendment shall have been made to the Constitution of the United States prohib­ iting the practice of polygamy. It says the con­ vention which a opt--d the proposed constitution upon which an apjieal was made to Congress lor admission to the Union was held without author­ ity from any proper source. It is further asserted tut the proposed .constitution is silent with respect to the crime of polygamy, and the Com­ missioners are of the opinion that the Govern­ ment caEnot afford to surrender th great advan­ tage which il now holds, and which has been se­ cure! at much expense and trouble. They also tbiuk that no harm can result from delay in the admission of the Territory. It is also stated in the report that the Democratic and Repub­ lican parties of Utah, in their conventions recently held, indorsed the position taken in the ma.ority report. The report concludes that the Mormon Church is committed to a policy which, il successful, will prove destructive to the pub­ lic-school system in Utah. 1 suring the year there have been eight indictments for polygamy and loar convictions, 304 indictments for unlairfvl Cohabitation, and 3-ii convictions.

EX-MARSHAL BAZAINE is dead, his de­ mise occurring at Madrid, Spain, from heart trouble. He had been ill but a short time. Francois Achtll? Bazaine,ex-Marshal of France, was born .Feb. 1H, 1811, and entered the Ifench army aa a private in 1831. He served in Aigeria in lrt3'2, and in Spain against the Carlists. where, for disting ished courage and ability, he was promoted to be a Lieutenant aud then Captain, and also received the Cross of the Legion o Hon­ or. In the Crimean war he was made a General of Brigade and General of Division. He was pro­ moted to be a Commander of the Legion in 1856. In 18.39 be served in the cammign against Austria. When the French invaded Moxico in 18 i he held high command, and succeeded Mar­ shal Forey as heaa of the forces in 18&t, when he received toe Grand Cross. The next year he was made a Marshal of France. In 186J the Emperor Napoleon promoted him to be Commander-in- chie/ of tbe Imperial Guard. ' The war with Ger­ many. 18 0-1, furnished the scene of Bazaine's highest distinction and of his historic dis­ grace. At the outbreak of hostilities he commandad the Third Army Corps, near Metz. When the battles of Worth and Forbach bad been fought, disastrously to the French army. Marshal Ua/aine took commmd of the main armies of the empire. On Aug. 14, 1870, he began a retreat from Metz, and fought and lost tbe bloody battles of Mars-la-Tour and Gravelotte before being forced back into Metz. This stronghold was invested promptly by Prince Frederick Charles, and on Oct. 27, 1870, Bazaine surrendered. One hundred and seventy thousand private soldiers, over six thousand officers, fifty Generals, and three Mar­ shals of France were made prisoners of war on this occasion, the largest number of men ever taken at one time. Bazaine fled to England. This awful blow to the military jn-ide of the French people was followed in 1873 by the trial of Pazainj by court-martial for having failed to do his duty. He was sentenced to degrada­ tion and death. MaeMahon, President of the French republic, commuted the sentenco to im­ prisonment for twenty years in a fortress. Bazaine was taken to the Isle Sainte Mar­ guerite, in the Mediterranean Sea, from whence he escaped after nine months' imprisonment. He visited Germany and England, then removed to Spain, and made his residence at Madrid, where he had since resided. WESTERN HAPPENINGS.

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER BANQUETED ' B* TOE BAB. '.t* ' Mm IhrwafFhat Will Live tn Hits <Brtnry of Chleigo-IfoM Gather to 8«| Godspeed -- Tributes from Eloquent Lips. [Chicago special dispatch.] It Tras a historic banquet given at the Palmer House in this city in hohor of Mel- Iville W. Fuller on his assumption of the office of Chief Justice of the United States. The organizers of the banquet were his fellow members, of the bar and bench, and they wero joined in their manifestation by the foremost citizens of Chicago. Repub­ licans and Democrats all united in their tribute to a man whom the city delighted to honor. When the doors of the Palmer House dining-room were thrown open be­ fore Judge Drummond and Mr. Fuller about 6:30 p. m., the breath of Eden touched their nostrils. The Bev. Dr. Fleetwood, on the Judge's left, probably thought of Paradise with its unfading flowers, its golden light and silvery sheen. Mr. Fuller will be for­ given if he thought it the garden of the gods und the strains of music, we re from Olym­ pus. He might have hesitated to take Jupiter's seat or even a place in the row of American gods who sat behind the long table at the head of the dining-room. But Mr. Fuller is the greatest god in American politics. He is greater than any politician and beyond their reach. He is higher than the rulers and their laws, for he establishes them or sets them aside. He is the Chief Justice of the highest tribunal this side of heaven, and the banquet was in his honor. Half hidden behind the stands and baskets of flowers that stood in the center of the tables were rows of glasses, thin as paper and translucent as a fancy. From the" ehan* J CHIEF JUSTICE MELVILLE W. *FFRLXEB> deliors hung strands of smilax entwined with yellow roses, and pendent from the center, balls of Marechal Niel roses. The white shades and the glittering electric lights looked like huge daisies. A rope of smilax, looped with pink and yellow roses, festooned the front of the honored guest's table. In front of Judge Drummond. who pre­ sided, was an immense bank of dark-red American beauty roses. Behind the vener- ablo Judge u pointed arch of daisies, roses, asters, and smilax supported a floral piece representing the scales of justice, A basket of rare flowers was suspended in the arch. Bunks of white and pink roses, baskets of cardinal, floral scales, white dahlias, and a path of fern leaves strewed the Chief Jus­ tice's table. On each of the forty-live tables in the body of the room stood a different floral design. On Judge Drummond's right sat the guest of the evening, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Hon. Melville \V. Fuller. His hair was no whiter, his face no ruddieu yian those of "Mel" Fuller, as his associates called him a few months ago. He laughed and chatted with the venerable Judge with the white fringe and high collar under his chin, or said some pleasant thing to the handsome and dis­ tinguished-looking Judge of the Federal Court, Walter Q. Gresham, on his light. Judge Gresham was in frequent conversa­ tion with Gen. Crook, United States army, the Indian fighter who so narrowly escaped Geroninio. Next the General was Judge Brad well and Judgo Caton, the white-haired old pio­ neer, with his old-fashioned frilled shirt. Beside him was Judge Trumbull, once an honored Republican leader*and prominent candidate for the Presidency, an ex-United States Senator, and a man full of honorable years. Judpe Jenkins sat next, and beside him Joseph Medill. Judge Gregory was at the extreme right. To the left of the Presi­ dent sat the minister, a youngish man with brown side whiskers and mustache, plenty of hair, and a p&ir of eye-glasses. Further on were Judge Ma«ruder cf the States Su­ preme Court, Judge "Josh" Allen of the Federal Court at Springfield, Gen. Williams, Judge Bunn of Madison. Wis,, Mayor Roche, Dr. Johnson, and B. F. Marsh, brother-in- law of Mr. Fuller. The Chairman and a number of the guests present recalled the banquet given theRight Hon. John Duke, Lord Coleridge.

At the conclusion of the Judge's remarks he proposed the health of MelviUe Weston Fuller, Chief Justice o! the Supreme Court of the United States. The guests arose to their feet and some one proposed three cheers for Mr, Fuller. The cheers were . A ROTABLE GROUP. given with a combination roar of jury argu­ ment. Mr. Fuller's voico was soft and tremulous when he arose. His eyes were in sympathy with his voice. Mr. Fuller ran briefly over his experience with the early Chicago bar, When he mentioned the names of Lincoln and Drummond the lawyers arose and cheered until their throats were scorchod. Many other names, as those of Judge Caton and Leonard Swett. were also loudly ap­ plauded. He expressed his keen apprecia­ tion of the honor conferred on him, which he took as a recognition of Chicago and the great West rather than a personal compli­ ment. When lie took his seat the audience again arose and gave him a round of cheers. Judge Gresham spoke to the toast, "The Bench," sketching the powers of the Su­ preme Court and concluding with an ex­ pression of confidence in the President's se­ lection of a Chief Magistrate of the highest court in the land. The Judge's speech was very brief, for Judge Moran was on the pro­ gramme to help him wrestle with the same subject. Judge Moran's address dealt chiefly with the lower courts and their duties. He thought the people of Illinois had peculir cause to be proud of their judiciary. In all the seventy years of its judicial system no Judge had been impeached nor within fifty years had there been a judicial scandal. In this time great corporate relations had been adjusted, and though many judges had been elected in political contests the integrity of the judiciary had never been questioned. Ho compared the English courts with the American tribunals. Many newspaper edit­ ors liked the speedy trial of criminal cases iji the English courts, but the speaker ques­ tioned the efficiency of such trials. He got a twist at the British lion's tail by declaring that while we were catching a thief the En- clish courts could convict an Irishman of loving his country and send him to prison. W. C. Goudy and James L. High respond­ ed to "The Bar." Ex-Senator Lyman Trum­ bull spoke for "The Law-Makers." and Charles L. Hutchinson of "Commerce." Letters of regret were read from a num­ ber of prominent persons. Before the speeches were half through the old lawyers- began to leave, and Mr. Fuller saw his rela­ tions with the bar dissolve in a great cloud of smoke and float out on the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," and for the last time as a Chicago lawyer ho shook hands with his fellow-members of the bar.

Justice of England, five years ago. That banquet, as this, was given by the Chicago J3ar Association. Then Judge Drummond also presided. At both banquets Judge Trumbull and Mr. Fuller responded to toasts. Five years ago E. B. Washburne, an ex-Minister of this Government, spoke, the brilliant Emery Storrs responded to a toast, Isaac N. Arnold delivered an address, and Senator John A. Logan and T. Lyle Dickey. Judge of the Illinois Supreme Court, were prosent. All are now at the feast spread for immortals--in the great Some­ where. Many members of the bar were present who met the English lord, and they and many thousands of American citizens remember the scant courtesy accorded Chief Justice Waite when he visited England two years later. Lord Coleridge was ban­ queted and carried about with obsequious homage. The American lord went and came with scarce a notice. This last banquet was history--at least an embellishment of it. Early last March Chief Justice Waite died. Mr. Fuller was ap­ pointed to the vacant place the 1st of the following May. and was confirmed late in July. Justice Fuller is the first Illinois man to receive this distinguished honor and the second man from the State to wear a judicial robe. The only court in America that wears a gown is the Supreme Court of the United States. At one of the tables sat a man with a faded red mustache and hair to match. He was simply John M. Hamilton. Five years ago he was Governor of Illinois and came from the capital to attend the banquet. At the tables sat judges of the local courts and from the Federal and State bench in this and adjoin ing States. The city and county legal de­ partments were represented, and tho bar sent its leading practitioners. The business community, the commercial circles, were present in a large delegation. Nearly four hundred persons sat nt the tables. The menu was a complement to the other ar­ rangements. Tho eating was faithfully and industri­ ously attended to for nearly three hours when Judge Drummond arose and tapped on the table. *He briefly defended the Chief Justice from the attacks of those who op­ posed his confirmation. The Judge had been Mr. Fuller's friend for many years, and he thought that a man who had gone in. and out before the people for thirty years with out a blemish on his moral character could not bo smirched by political envy or malice itself. In answering the charge that Mt Fuller was not well known, he said that the new Chief Justice was exceedingly well known in Chicago, and Cook County con tained more than twice the population of Vermont. This subtle reference to Senator Edmund's opposition was received with re peatad cheers and clapping of hands. The LYNCHING IN JSTEELVILLE, MO. Lewis Davis, Who Murdered His Friend and Neighbor( Hanged liy Mashed Men. 1 Lewis Davis, who was under indictment for the murder of his friend and neighbor, David Mills, was taken from jail at Steel- villc, Mo., and lynched. Tho tragedy was of a sensational character. Davis, who had been in St. Louis for safe-keeping for six months, was returned to Steelvillc for trial. His case was to have been called the morn­ ing following his arrival. Three hours be­ fore daylight forty masked men rode into the town. and. after placing pickets on all tho streets, leading to the jail, proceeded to attack the structure. Tools were secured from a blacksmith shop, and the doors wero soon battered down. Wliilo the attack was in progress"^ Deputy Sheriff and one guard were captured. Davis fought like a demon. He knocked down four of the lynchers with a piece of bed-post. He was finally overpowered and with a rope around his neck was led out of town and lynched over the grave of Pat Wallace, who was lynched for the murder of the Logan family in 1886. Davis did not con­ fess. The crime for which Davis was lynched was committed January 2. Davis and Miller started to town to pay their taxes. Miller's body was found with a bullet in the head and his pockets rifled. The bullet fitted Davis' pistol. It was a peculiar rifle bore, and the circumstantial evidence Was strong against him. TO BILL HIE WORLD. The 9X0,00 Reward Circular for Tasoott to Be Se:it All Over the Globe. [Chicago special.] The new reward of $20,000 for the arrest and detention of William B. Tascott, offered by Mrs. Henrietta Snell. is to be more widely circulated than any of the former offers. The circular, containing a description of Tascott and a sample of his handwriting, will be mailed direct to every postoilico in the United States and Canada, numbering between sixty aud sixty-five thousand, a matter of $6,500 for postage alone, not count­ ing the cost of printing, folding and en­ veloping. This, however, is only a small jart of the circulation scheme. Tho circular s to be printed in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish. Norwegian and Belgian, and sent to all tho most promi­ nent postofflces of Europe. Copies will be sent to all consuls, chiefs of police, detec­ tive bureaus, and other likely sources of in­ formation. Asia and South America* will not be overlooked. If deemed advisable, the circular will be put into Russian and Hindoostanee. and sent throughout those countries also. No quarter of the globe where a refusree might find shelter will be forgotten. Mr. Stone also proposes to bill the world with tho offer of $20,000 for the capture of the murderer. The expenses of distributing the circular, even if it has to be done by an asent appointed in the various countries of Europe and elsewhere, will be paid by the widow, and it is probable that inside of thirty days more people will have heard of the reward and have their interest in the affair cieated thereby than ever was known before in any similar case. STARVING RED MEN. DESTTTUn ON AMONG THE IKDUlfg OF THE NORTHWEST. Toljgmmj Decreasing in Utah--Victims of Mormon Exhorters Will Be Sent Back to Europe--Other News of General Interest. [Winnipeg (Man.) special.] A terrible talo of starvation and destltu-, Hon among the Indians come from the Peace River country. It comes in the form of a petition to the Minister of the Interior for Canada and is signed by the Anglican Bishop for that diocese, six clergymen aud missionaries, and several Justices of the Peace. It Is an official document passed by the synod of Athabasca Diocese. It sets out that owing to the great mortality of beavers and other small game the Indians both last winter and summer have been in a perpetual state of starvation. Both the food supply of the Indians and their power of procuring clothiug have been affected. They are now in a complete state of desti­ tution and unable to provide themselves with clothing, ammunition, etc.. for the winter. Tho petition says, among other things: The scarcity has greatly decreased the number of their dogs (so necessary to the Indian for traveling and hunting), thus seriously increasing the difficulty of obtain­ ing a livelihood. In the Mackenzie River district there were several eases of death by starvation, and one or more of canni­ balism. During last winter, among the Fort Chippewa Indians, between twenty nnd thirty starved to death, and the death of others was accelerated .h¥ . want of food. A party of about twenty Beaver Indians had to be conveyed from Grand Prairie, near Dunvegan, Tenee River, to Lesser Slave Lake, to prevent their starv­ ing to death. Some of them died after ar­ riving there. "Within the personal knowl­ edge ot the undersigned." says the petition, "many other Indians, Crees, Beavers, and Chippewas, at almost all points were there are missions or trading posts, would cer­ tainly have been starved to death but for the help furnished by the traders and mis­ sionaries at those places--furnished often at great personal inconvenience. Owing to all these facts, scores of families, having lost their heads by starvation, are now per­ fectly helpless, and must starve to death or eat one another unless help comes. People are terribly agitated over the anticipated fate of these poor people." Heartrending stories of sufferings and cannibalism con­ tinue to come in. MORMON EXH0RTERS' VICTIMS. Women and r Young Girls Who Will Be Sent Back to Europe. 1 [New York dispatch.] A sad scene has just been enacted at Castle Garden. Two gross, coarse, sensu­ ous-featured men, in greasy broadcloth coats, paced up and down before the inclos- ure of the landing bureau, casting anxious glances at a group of twenty persons inside until they were ordered to leave the Gar­ den. They were W. G. Phelps and Henry Walsh, Elders of the Mormon Church, and the people huddling inside the inclosure were a part of a small army of con­ verts whom they brought from England. Most of them will probably be returned to their native land. One Swiss family of seven people were bound for Idaho. Tho father declared that he had been a Mormon for twenty-three years. The whole family will be sent back. Hermenia Van Lieben, from Holland, had three small chil­ dren, and Maria Dextra, 14 years old, had left parents and friends in Holland to come and join the Mormons. She is unusually, alarmingly precocious, and argued in be­ half of Mormon ism and even polygamy with a display of knowledge startling in one so young. These deluded people, who were almost without money, will probably be re­ turned. But the saddest cases are those of five little girls and three boys who had come to America al« lured by these stories of tho Mormon exhorters. The children will probable be sent on to San Francisco, where they have friends. A man named Howard, who brought the children over, will be sent back to England. A pale-faced little girl with pretty reatures, but in dirty tatters, sobbed, "I am Sarah Ashley. I am 11 years old. and come from Worksop. England. I begged so hard mamma and papa let me come with Brother Walsh. I am to go at service with a gentleman fifteen miles from Salt Lake City." Nellie Tomlinson, from Brompton, was a mature girl of 12, She said she came with a "gentleman and two ladies." and was going to be a Mormon, though she hardly knew what that meant. There were some more girls between tho ages of 13 and 15, who will be returned to their homes. FAITH IN THE MORMONS, Minority Report of the Utah Commission -- Polygamy Decreasing. [Washington special.] John A. McClern and A. B. Carlton, of the Utah Commission, have filed a minority re­ port with the Secretary of tho Interior. The Commissioners say that in their opin­ ion a great majority of the Mo rmon people have wisely resolved that the practice of polygamy should be abandoned. "We are thoroughly satisfied," say the Commission­ ers, "that the work of reformation in Utah is progressing rapidly, and it will soon re­ sult in a successful issue without a resort to legislation that is prescriptive of religious opinion. Our view may be epitomized in a few words: 'Punish criminal action, but religious creeds never.' " Tho commissioners are averse to any fur­ ther restrictive legislation by Congress, be­ lieving that the present laws are sufficiently stringent and will accomplish all that can be reasonably required by legal coercion. The report lecommends the adoption of an amendment to the Federal Constitution prohibiting the institution or practice of polygamy in any form in the States 6r Ter­ ritories or other places over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction. The commissioners, in conclusion, say; "We have no disposition to defend Mor­ mons. against all that has teen alleged against them, but we believe they are en­ titled to be treated with justice and hu­ manity; that they are not incorrigible; that • they are subject to be influenced by the same causes that have changed and ameliorated other peoples, churches, and creeds. We also believe they have got common sense, and by the exercise of this valuable attribute they have found out that polygamy must go. We believe that the great mass of the Mormon people are deter­ mined to go on with this reform and that they will accomplish the work in spite of any influence that may be attempted to bo exercised by a few fanatical old polygam- ists." THE WHIPPINGPOST STATE. Seven Whites and Ten Negroes Get u Ag­ gregate of 225 Lashes. [Wilmington (Del.) special.] The whippings at Newcastle Jail were re­ markable for the number of victims, the heavy penalties, and the number of lashes laid on. Not for many years have such a large number been made to "hug the post" in one day. There were ten colored victims and seven whites. One man got forty lashes, four others twenty lashes, nine others ten. and three others live lashes. In ail there were 225 blows struck, an average of thirteen blows. In addition to tho whip­ ping live men were compelled to stand for an hour in the pillory. "Sugar Awful," one of the colored men. was whipped the sixth time within eight years. lie has been A thief for twelve years, and has been before the Chief Justice eight times. Two BAU-BREEDS were killed near Pem­ bina. D. T., wbile trying to break a eolt to saddle. - 'l FINANCES OF KANSAS. The Entire Stole Debt Only •850,000, Largely Hold by State Institutions. State Treasurer Hamilton has prepared the following statement for his forthcoming annual report as to the bonded indebted­ ness of Kansas. The permanent school fund has invested in State, county, munici­ pal. and school bonds tho sum of $4,780.- 085.60; the Stuto Agricultural College fund $475,223.06 invested in bonds * of the same kind; the sinking fund $12,- 000. State University fund $118,415.48, the State Normal School fund $97,304. Tho State Agricultural College also hold assets of $23,476.55 in notes aud accounts. The total State debt is $815,000. and of this amount all but $256,000. or $550,000 is held as an investment by these various funds, the permanent school fund holding the greater part of it. The $250,000 held by in­ dividuals and corporations outside of the State would bo purchased by the funds if they could bo secured, but they cannot bo purchased for less than $135, being quoted considerably higher than Government bonds.

Tbe following pretty incident Gladstone is related in one of our ex­ changes. About fifty years ago several haulers were employed in carrying pig iron from Brymbo to Queen's Ferry. Among the number was one Willihm Griffiths, who is still alive. This man, when going down Tinkerdale one day with his load'of iron, was accosted by a stranger, who talked very freely with him. Among the questions, the stran­ ger asked him how much per day he got for carrying the iron. "Six and sixpence," said the carter. "What weight have you on the cart?" "About a ton and a iialf." "And what do you pay for, . "Eighteen pence." "How much does it cost to keep the mare?" • »' * "Thirteen shillings a week." Presently they reached the foot of the mill hill. "How are you going to .get this up hill?" asked the stranger. "Oh, I mum get my shuder and pusfci hup 'ere." "IH help you a bit," said the stran­ ger, and he at once put his shonlder to the cart and pushed up the hill well. When they reached the top the hauler said, "You an' me 'as been as good as a chain'orse." "Well, well," said the stranger, '"I don't know h<Jw\ th? p«pr horse's legs are, but mine ache very much indeed. I suppose you ca,n manage now." "Yes, thank you," said the hauler; and wishing each other good day they sepa­ rated. As soon as the stranger was gone a tradesman asked Griffiths if he knew who had been helping him. ^ "No." said he, "I never sqeq 'jjm be­ f o r e . " y ( i j . ' "That was Mr. Gladstone," said the tradesman. "Mr. Gladstone!" exclaimed the hauler, "I dunno what 'e'll think o' me, then; for I never sir'd 'im nor nothin*. Sure I thought 'e was some farmer hor somethin'." A Minneapolis Bfbta* "What a beautifully bound Bible!" said the new minister, calling on a Min­ neapolis family. "Yes," said the lady of the house, "my husband don't do things in any plain-sheep manner. The best calf, with red morocco trimmings, ain't none too good for us. He had this bound especially for our own uso." "Ah! very good. Very good. By the way, let me* call your particular atten­ tion to a passage of Scripture this morning. Let me see. Why, what does this mean? This is an imperfect copy. The entire book of St. Paul is left out." "Certainly; that is PAY husband's idea." "Your husband's idea! "Why that is sacrilege-" "Oh, not at all. This ij an age of reason. My husband is a strong Min­ neapolis man, and got this Bible up for home reading in a Minneapolis iamilv. This St. Paul racket has been running a little too strong lately." "Well, I'm amizoil." "But we're liberal. We're charitable. We've been contributing a heap of money to the foreign missions lately, but hereafter we shall s*nd it all to the St. Paul heathen."--San Francisco Examiner. : . , Jahttlse Husband--I don't understand why I have to get tip and make the fire with a hired girl in the house.
