When the foolish man wants to buy or sell anything, he rides all over the country in the hot sun looking for the party of the second part. A wise man puts a few lines in the newspaper, and lets them go all over country for him. Whenever any man has a horse or cow to sell, there is some other man somewhere who is waiting to buy them, but these two men might travel a week without finding each other Advertising brings them together. Did you ever sit on a mossy bank and look at the sun-kissed brook as it merrily dances in glee around the protruding pebbles, and feel glad that you were alive? Well, that’s the same sensation you will experience when you witness ‘ Sandy Botton.” It is a laughing, bubbling pure heart and home story. When the curtain falls on the last act you feel as refreshed as if you had just drunk a cup of spring water. “Sandy Bottom” comes to the Ellis Opera House. Saturday, Aug. 30.

FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

Leal Worth, No. Dak., Aug. 24. Ed. Democrat: This is the land of golden grain, high winds and high prices. The harvest is about half over and the farmers are glad to see such fine crops. The wheat and flax is well filled but about fifteen per‘cent, of it was damaged by a hail storm. But the Insurance company pays the damage, for the farmers all have their grain insured. The corn grows about four feet high here and looks like sweet corn. The hay grows in the ponds and they think it is fine, but it is only a very poor sample of what the Hoosiers call bull-grass, and the grass on the high land only grows to the height of about four or five inches and makes very good sheep pasture. Land is going up in price every year, but there is lots of it can yet be bought for sls and S2O per acre, and there is little if any, can be homesteaded. Wages are from $2 to $3 per day and plenty to do. Ducks and wild chickens are very numerous, and the coyote yells like the bal ei in Jasper. Yours Truly,

CONDENSED STORIES.

How the Poets Differed In Judging Their Own Art. Among the late Aubrey de Vere’s reminiscences of the poets whom he had known there is one passage so characteristic of the different tastes of great writers that it is worth recalling: “Tennyson was enthusiastic for Burns. ‘Head the exquisite songs of Burns,’ he exclaimed. Tn shape each of them has the perfection of the berry, in light the radiance of the dewdrop. You forget for its sake those stupid things, his serious pieces!’ The same day I met Wordsworth and named Burns to him. Wordsworth praised him even more vehemently than Tennyson had done; as the great genius who had brought poetry back to nature, but ended, ‘Of course I refer to his serious efforts, such as “The Cotter’s Saturday Night.” Those foolish little amatory songs of his one has to forget.’ 1 told the tale to Henry Taylor one evening, and his answer was, ‘Burns’ exquisite songs and Burns’ serious ef'forts are to me alike tedious and disagreeable reading.’ So much for the infallibility of poets' in their own art.” Fools’ Prosperity Disgusted Him. Shaw is the story teller of the administration, lie illustrates most of his propositions by anecdotes. A visitor was complaining of a man out west who had made a lot of money by accident and at the expense of worthier men. “It seems a shame that such an ass should get so rich,” said the visitor. “That reminds me,” said the secretary, “of a man 1 heard of out in lowa. He was playing seven up one night with some friends, and, although he was a good seven up player, he could not win a game, lie sat for two hours and stewed and fumed and lost steadily. Finally he threw down his cards in disgust and said, ‘The most alarming tendency of the signs of the times is the enormous prosperity of doggone fools,’ and walked out of the room.” —Washington Post.

His Lordship Was Smuggled. Sir Barrington Beaumont’s memoirs, recently published, tell the- following: “I recollect a discussion between a Scotch lord and Lady Clermont as to the merits of the other side of the border. ‘How is it,’ said she, ‘that the Scots who leave Scotland are usually men of more ability than those who remain at home ?’ ‘Ah, madam,’ he responded, with an effort at persiflage, ‘the reason is obvious. At every outlet there are persons stationed to examine all who pass, that, for the honor of the country, no one be permitted to leave it who is not a man of understanding.’ ‘I suppose, then,’ murmured George Selwyn to me, ‘his lordship must have been smuggled.’ ” A Pupil of Sousa. One morning after the hand organs got hold of his “Washington Post March” John Philip Sousa ran across an Irishman playing the march at a dirgelike pace, which set his teeth on edge. Snatching the handle of the organ away from him, Sousa exclaimed angrily: “My heavens, man! Why don’t you play it with a little energy? There’s no-

"WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IT WITH A LITTLE ENERGY?"

body dead on this block!” The Irishman stood by, open eyed with wonder, as Sousa dashed through the measures of the march at a rattling pace. “And who are you anyhow?’’ he exclaimed at length. “I an} Mr. Sousa,” explained the bandmaster. “I composed that inarch. Don’t mind my giving you a friendly pointer.” The Irishman retired with his features wreathed in smilgt,, Next morning an enormous placard appeared about his neck. It f Hinted in red ink and ran as fM> ows: “A pupil of Sousa.”—Chicago Nets.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

The Selection of Rugs For Different Parts of the House. For Hall and Stairs.—Beginning. with the hall, one may Select any of the Turcoman rugs with their dark, rich coloring, heavy pile and shaggy surface, or a Ilamadan (Persian) strip on the stairs, fastened with invisible stair rods so as not to spoil the pattern, or the Brussels or Wilton carpet made in rug shape, from designs of the Turkish rugs, may boused for stairs and ha’Q >or at le.-s----cost. The Drawing Room.—For a <. rawing room treated in the style of Louis XIV., Louis XV. or Louis XVI. the Aubusson or Savonnerie rug may be woven to accord with the damask coverings of the furniture, or there may be a light toped rug from India that will suit this room. The Dining Room.—The Feraghan (Persian) rug in its large size and with its characteristic chintz figure repeated all over is the ideal choice in a dining room. Its cheaper substitutes are the three piece Axmiii'ter and the Wilton rugs of American make, the English- Brus-sels-like rug or a rug made from a good Brm-o Is carpeting. The bathroom has wool rugs and cork mats manufactured for its exclusive use. Fern Luncheons. A fern luncheon is one of thff prettiest manifestations of special functions for the summer and one, too, since ferns abound everywhere, that is easiest arranged. Ferns should decorate the halls, the parlors and the piazzas, and the table should show them in generous profusion. They may bo arranged as a centerpiece in any way that fancy dictates, and if .-’cades are used for candles they should be white and fern trimmed. The name cards, too, should be decorated with ferns. The ice course may simulate growing ferns. Get at the florist’s tiny unused pots of the sort in which cuttings are slipped. Wash them thor OUghly and fill with vanilla ice cream, sprinkling a little grated chocolate on the top. As these arc sent to the table sth k a fern branch in each and stand on a plate with ferns laid about.—Harper’s Bazar. Bedroom Suggestions. Should your bedroom lack a closet, construct a triangular shelf across the corner about six feet from the floor and cover with cloth that no dust may sift through. To I the front fasten small curtain brackets and pole and suspend therefrom { a curtain of denim or cretonne, i Within the three cornered space inclosed fasten cleats with as many rows of hooks as are needed. The , top of the.shelf may be used for ■ bric-a-brac. Should you at any tifm lack sufficient bed covering a novel j expedient i.- to pin newspapers together and place between the coverings. The added warmth is said ,to be surprising. Never leave a kerosene lamp turned low. Thereby oxygen will not be drawn i into the chimney to consume the carbonic acid gas, and a deadly poison will escape into the room. The Popular Draperies. The conspicuous poles and rings characteristic of dranerie- a few vears ago have all but disappeared. They are now considered highly inartistic, and in country house lx*drooms it is the fashion to use cottage draperies. With enameled furniture, matting rugs and Gibson prints, Irish lace and fluffy frivolities look out of place. The popular recessed and mullioned windows of the artistic bedroom, should be treated with a frilled top and straight hanging side draperies of flowered dimity to match the frilled mantel lambrequin and bed valance. Upholstery dimities copied from the old English dimities are the appropriate bedroom draperies. They are very’ flowesy and launder well. Rainbow Jelly. Rub off the essence from the rind of two lemons with lumps of sugar; I beat the whites of six eggs and 1 crush the shells; simmer over the fire an ounce ami a half of the best gelatin, dissolved in a pint of water, adding the sugar, eggs and strained juice of two lemons. Let the jellv continue to simmer for a few minutes, allow it to stand j uwhile and,then pass twice through a jelly bag. Put in a mold rough {lumps of orange, strawberry and { blackberry jellies, a few grapes skin- ; nod and stoned, it’ procurable, smne strawbejries, currants and raspher lies and run the colorless jelly into the mold when cool, but still liquid Kettles Within Kettles. Double and triple kettles are the things for the gas stove. One of the double ones, each with*a handle standing out in different directions, easts comparatively little, and two pftcrent vegetables can be cooked m one place on the stove. There toe also sets of three kettles which fit Into each other like pieces of pie* each having its separate cover.
