A. M. Greely in His Big Fork Compass» One of our Big Fork settlers was recently heard to say that this is not and never would or could be a farms ing country. Poor creature! Such a view is eccentric, betrays dence ignorance and is contrary to all rea- son and history. ‘These remarks are not for our sceptical friend, believing him too tar off the road of logic to profit by them. We pass him by as a hopeless case. Those remarks dre rather for his less strongly convinced followers, for those at the pointof balance be- tween doubt and confidence and for those standing on the natural ground} of unconcern. In a nature a cry of ‘fire’, whether sent up by a drunken fool or by a well meaning but mistaken per- son, will cause a mad stampede in which the strong will trample to ih the young, the aged and weak; junatic, running amuck through your barnyard, trailing a flaming torch, 18 very apb lo cause some trouble, In Jike manner the presence of a knocker will be attended by evil consequences.

Held up to the light of reason their color will fade, They are woven of frail fibers and may The mew Dance. See that the new dances are to be slow and stately, one of them em- bracing a stunt like this: “The court pose, when properly done, brings the body almost in a sitting posture, with the right knee doubled under as a sup- port and the left leg perfectly straight and thrust far forward.” Large, port- ly citizens with scant wind doing “his slowly and with stateliness will be a sight worth seeing. Points a Moral, The awards at the Internationa) Live stock show tend to prove it very much the same with the lower ani- mals as with human beings, in that the longest pedigree does not always mean the finest stock. In other words, the unpretentious human may- erick often walks away with the prize, ' while his thoroughbred rival is being eajoled and curried. Nothing By Comparison. Congressman Loud of California was badly beaten in the race last No- vember. On his way east to attend _the opening of Congress the train on which he was traveling was partially wrecked. A colleague congratulated him on escaping serious injury and Loud replied: “Oh, that was nothing after the wreck I was in on election FENIMORE COOPER LETTER. Famous Novelist Calied Europe a Ro mance and America Humdrum Here is an interesting letter, in the possession of a well-known autograph collector, that, according to the Phil- adelphia Record, Fenirore Cooper wrote to his publishers in 1831: “I hope you will be wrong in autto- ipating a bad reception for . ‘The Bravo.’ 1 cannot tell you much cf its reception in Europe, though Gosselin says it is very decidely successful in France. America is, of all countries, one of the least favorable to works of the imagination. In Europe, or, rather in England, where there has ex isted a necessity of accounting for some success in the very teeth of their prejudices and wishes, it has béen the fashion to say that no writer ever en- joyed so favorabls an opportunity as I, because I am .an American and @ sailor. As to the sailor part of the business, it is grossly absurd; for what advantage has an American sailor-over any other? of what they say in this respect, for I get 3,000 pounds for a nautica] tale that shall celebrate English skill to- morrow. “For myself, [ can write two Euto- pean stories easier than I can write one easily be pulled to pieces.

It would be neither necessary or policy to grub a home- stead free of stumps. Here, itis not sturdy scrub-oaks that stand — be- twecn Lhe farmer and the plow, The slump of the average tree that grcews here will rot sufficiently in two years to be knocked over by a shapy blow vith the bub of an ax. So, if one will work with intel- igeuce and patience the ease with which a field could be made is readily seen. 500 miles north*of us 1s Canada wheat has been raised for many years. Canadian wheat is of very good auality, and were it not fur the early frosts, severe wind and hail storms peculiar to the country wheat could be raised there with great success. That decidedly settles the falacy about distauce north. it must be admitted that the summer seasons are shorter here than farther south. That does not handicap the northern farmer. ‘True, vur seasons are shorter than farther suuth, but our days are Jonger. And itis light and sun- shine that ripens crops. So, what a northern farmer loses in short sea- suns he makes up in length of days during growing time. it is the history of every newly settled northern country that: the first and secrnd year’s crops did nut compare favorabiy with the average crop of older places. The cause of Ube unsatisfactory yield was seldon found to be poor soil or wrong climate, Nothing was wrong, ouly the ignorance of the farmers led them to expect more. lt requires several years fur imported seed to de- velop ‘its full productive quality. Southero seed brought north has to take on the habit of ripening ina shorter season, Our knocking friend will of caurse emigrate to sume vast expanse of prairie land in Canada or the Da- kotas. But should he return atter being made bankrupt by a succession} of droughts or storms, he will find the vally dotted with farm houses and the air tilled with the hum of industtry. A Compliment From Carnegie. Robert C. Ogden related an incident a few days ago which occurred at a dinner over which he presided. An. drew Carnegie sat next to him. White the speaking was in progress, Mr. Car- negie reached over and whispered to Mr. Ogden: “I like you.” “This was very gratifying,” said Mr. Ogden, in telling the story, “and lt wondered what was the reason for this fondness, I was not long in doubt, for Mr. Carne- gie said: ‘Most toastmasters say too much. I like you because you say so pele. ’”—New York Times. P Farming = ‘Lands Pine Stumpage Bought. ABSTRACTS OF TITLE. GRAND RAPIDS.
