NORMAN,
Bkazii. seems, for tho time, to have
disappointed its enemies and settled
down to a respectable and quiet exist-
ence. It now has a regular constitu-
tion and president and is a praise wor-
tny example of good behavior. How
long thin will last is a question, but it
is a good thing while it does last.
Some wino head tells lis, "Never
write a letter, and never burn one."
We have, continually, more or less
conclusive evidence of the wisdom of
the first part of that admonition, bill
the second part—well, it is a good go Into the cattle buslnc
deal better to make your own bonfiros
than it is to havo them built by others.
What we call retribution in tho uni-
versal necessity by which the whole
appears whenever a part appears. If
you see smoke, there must be fire. If
you soe a hand or a limb, you know
that the trunk to which it belongs in
there behind. Evefy act rewards itself,
or, in other words, integrates itself.
Crime and punishment grow out of
ono stem.
New brooms jweep clean and new
friends are thought most amiable, but
experience proves that this sometimes
disappoint* expectation. It is so with
some new things and new ways. Ilo
not tho first to cast old things aside,
nor yet the last by whom now thinirs
are tried, and the converse if this
may be equally praiseworthy. Well
judged enterprise, and safe conserva-
tism, should be the farmers' maxim.
Unless we can recall our past self,
with its opinions and convictions, its
intentions and motives, its ignorance
and knowledge, we cannot judge it
justly; and, unless we examine tho re-
sults of pnst actions in tho light of
present intelligence, we shall make
no improvement, in the future. These
investigations, made in the spirit and
in the love of truth, will reveal tons
not only new visions ol what is wise,
hut new standards of what is right.
The farmer actually pays a premium
for bad roads. Ho pays it in time ex-
pended in getting to market, in value
of drafting animals .uid the food they
eat, and the extra hands for their
care and handling; in the increased
number of vehicles and wear and tear
on them, and in the decreased product
of tho land that has loss attention and
care. If the country had a system of
smooth and hard highways it would
blossom liko a roso and prosperity
would follow in the wako.
VACATION
ihat Ray Kingsley
hull taken to the
West changed the
entire course of his
life. Charley Ed-
monds hud been his
liosnru friend in
college and accord-
ing to promise Kay
came to visit his
old school mate <>n
the Elder Edmond'*
ranch in Montana.
Kay became in-
fatuate.1 with his
surroundings and concluded to give up
the study of law. One night lie un-
bosomed himself to the Edmonds family
by saying that he intended to come
West. , ,
♦•What do you want to do?" asked the
elder Edmonds.

of buying out the Murdock ranch, ad-
joining this, and when I am ready,
build. I shall write to Clifford to mor-
row and get a statement of what is
coming from my dead mother's estate.
I shall invent, all I have iu it."
Kay carried out his plain. There
was no one to "say him nay," and he
had become infatuated with the west-
He found himself the possessor of $10,-
000, besides tho home place, which ho
did not eare to sell. He bought the
Murdock place and invested the rest of
his money in cattle. Frank Edmonds
caring for a band of his own, and
the two young men were constantly to-
gether, as Kay had arranged to board
with his friends.
Pretty Nell Edmonds was the belle
for many miles around, and received
narked attention from all the prosper-
ous young ranchmen. but she showed no
favor to anyone until Kay Kingsley
came, when it was observed she really
enjoyed his society, and everybody pre-
dicted a speedy marriuge and a happy
couple. Kay was a general favorite, as
he quickly "fell in" with all customs
and was at home anywhere. Indeed,as
l rank said, "Kay was made for a west-
erner."
Such being the case, it was not
strange that he easily formed the habit
of drinking when asked. To his sur-
prise and pleasure he found that lie
could take a good deal without showing
any visible effect. With poor Frank it
was different.
Social life was necessarily restricted
in such sparsely settled districts, but
the young people rode out a great deal,
and Nell was the liest lady rider in that
part of the country, tine lovely June
day Kay asked Nell to ride, and they
took the road to the Murdock ranch,
which Kay had named "Willow Glen,"
assisting the cowboy* to "paint the
town red" on the l'ourth, and early
that morning they started off with
many Jests, and Sell and her father
soon foliowe«I. The young re-
paired to their favorite saloon, and
then ensued a round of treats, alter
which a party of eig.ht sat down for a
game of cards. Frank was consider-
ably muddled ami soon grew silly, and
his speeches caused roars of laughter in
the group.
Soon then* came a sound of music, 1
and as it came nearer the young men
became aware that the procession was
approaching and would pass the saloon.
Frank sprang up, exclaiming in hi*
drunken way—
a-goin'! W'ynot? Horse right
out 'ere! Basics' tiling to join 'em! Cm
on, fellers!"
They all laughed and he reeled out.
They caught sight of him as his horse
reared around, bewildered bv the mus-
ic and his rider's contradictory move-
ments. Nearer came the procession,
the band playing "Hail Colombia."
The wagon-load of girls dressed in
white, with the flag draped, and Liberty
standing in the center, was just oppo-
site the window. The buud clashed,

Henry Clews, in his weekly financial

The farmer who has the good judg-
ment to know what most needs to be
done each day and the capacity to so
arrange and order his work that he
can do everything at just the right
time, has qualities which will go far
towards helping Mx achieve success.
There can be no doubt that many
farmers fail not only to profit, but also
of finding pleasure nnd comfort in their
work.because they have not cultivated
their judgment, and are most of the
time working at a disadvantage.
A POSTMASTER'S CURIOSITY.
Baltimokk, June 97.—Christian Zeitln-
ger, po tiua ter at. Delia, Frederick
county, Md . has gotten into trouble from
his desire to make the acquaintance of
Ml « Florence Keith of Plainfleld. V I
(>0 the Itind of last Decernl er Miss Keith
wrote a letter to her mother, Mrs. Alice
H Keitli, at Delphi, Carr dl county, Ind.
The letter was sent to Delia but reaciied
its proper destination finally. A few
days afterward Miss Keith was astonished
to receive a letter from Dells containing a
request, for her nhotourapb. It was dated
Greenfield, Mills county. Md., and was
addr*-s ed to Miss Flossie Keith, and was

— * *' —M nH due entirely to special causes. The prin-
cipal cause appears to be that while tliire
is an abundance of exchange being made
to meet all necessary requirements for re-
mittances, yet a considerable portion of
the bills are unavailable iu consequence of
the credit of the payers having been unfa-
vorably affected toy tho prevailing financial
distrust in Great Ilritaiu and on the conti-
nent. This causes a scarcity of negotiable
exchange, and the result i« that we are re-
mitting gold at a time when tho balance of
our account with the rest of the world is
in our favor. While this causes an unset-
tling drain upan our cash resources, there
Is the satisfaction that it correspondingly
augments the amount of gold to be re-
turned hither at a later stage."

Greece, arrived in Chicago this morning.
At the depot ho was met by a delegation
of the Oieclan benevolent association,

Miss Kith referred the matter to the
post office department, saying that she
new no one at Delia, and her name andd
address could have only been ascertained
from the letter tc her mother which had
been misseut. Zeltlimer was summoned
to appear before Uulta. States ' Com-
missioner Rogers ou the charge
of oiMMiing the letter in question,
and Miss Keith was brought from Plain
field as a witness against him. She said
she signed her name "Flossie" in the let-
ter to her mother, which accounted for her
being addressed as Miss Flossie.
The accused postmaster said in his own
behalf: "The letter came to my postoflice,
and I immediately noticed that it was out.
of its course. I saw it was open and I
wanted to know where it was from. I al -
straded the letter to find out where it he-
longed and then reseated It and sent it to
Its destination, Indiana, as tho address
might be taken for 'Md.,' and I wrote 'In-
dians' plain on the envelope and also
wrote '.Misseut' to Delia. Tho letter
showed that it was writteu by a young
lady of great intelligence, and a young
man named Gibson, who was from Indi-
ana, told me he knew a very nice lady of
the name of Keith. I then wrote the letter
to Miss Florence Keith."

BRITISH NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
London* June 27.—The admiralty Is pre-
paring to add considerably to the strength
of the British squadrons in American
waters, partly with a view to the enforce-
ment of the close period in tbe Bering sea,
ai d partly also for an efficient assertion of
British interests in tho various complica-
tion* now existing 011 the American confl-
uent. The Chilian troubles have lasted so
long, with no prospect of a settlement,
that an extra force of British war vessels
will lie required in all probability on the
Chilian coast for several months to come,
while the sit nation in llayti and Venez-
uela also calls for the watchful oversight
ol Knulish cannon. In addition to these
transitory grounds for increasing the naval
force in tbe Atlantic ami Pacific, Lord Sal-
i bury is steadily bent on increasing the
Ktiglish garrisons in America, and cspeci
ally in the West Indies, where the men are
kept convenient for service anywhere.

Ewitig's pronounced anti-British views
and his failure to conduct himself in the

aud a diploma e made him so unpopular
that he was completely boycotted by both
business men and society people. The
feeling culminated in tbe circulation of a
petition addiessed to Secretary Blaine and
asking for the credit of tho United States
that Kwing be recalled. In less than two
hours this p titiou was signed by more
than 3,000 residents, including tho most
prominent men here iu all walks of lite.
Ewing gained the ill-will of tho people
here by refusing to respond to the toast

Bill, seriously, i' was r ail to observe tho
mental touueiits of the old gentlemen in
the hoard of directors of the New Haven
road. These men, for a lifetime, have been
known for their inieurity and probity.
They were forced to believe that this pros-
ecution was for political effect. I'hey
felt, under the circumstances, that, the
whole idea was to convict them whether
they were guilty or not. It was bard to
see them worrying and to receive their
visits at my bouse iu the morning and in
the evening and on Sundays. They wanted
to discuss the situation every moment.
