I preach no fatalism, A swarthy engineer at one of tho depots In Dakota said: "When wilt you get oil tho locomotive and ta to a ride with us!" "Well," I said, "now If that suite you." Bo I got on ona side tho locomotive, and a Motho-dist minister, who waa also invited, got ou tha other side, and between us were tha en­gineer and the stoker. Tha train started. Tha engineer luul his hand on tho agitated puiso of the great engine. Tho stoker shoveled lu tho coal and shut tho door with a loud clang. A vast plain slipped under us and tha hills swept by, and that great mon star on which we rod© ^trembled and bounded And snorted and raged* aa it hurled us on. I saitl to the Methodist minUter on the other sido the locomotive; "My brother, why should Presbyterians and Methodists miarrel about tho decrees and froo agency I You see that track, that firm track, that irou track; that Is tho decree.

Ami along that track tho car of tho world's redemption will roil and roll to tho Grand Central depot of tho millennium, I have no anxiety about the track. I am only afraid th.U for our Indolenco God will dis­charge us and get some other stoker and eoiiio other engineer. The train is going through with us or without us.

Son of Mambrino Pilot; dam I^ady Grey by Pilot, Jr. This combination of trotting blood is now amongst the most valu­able on the American Trotting Turf. Mambaret was purchased o ldy to improve the class of

brood mares (in this and sur­rounding country. He has

made two successful seasons, and out of thirty-seven colte foaled in 1888 not one but what was a bay or brown, and looked exactly like the horse. As I have two of the best Stallions in the state growing up, that will command high charges for services I have concluded hereafter to charge but fifteen dollars to insure for Mambaret and give every one the benefit of his magnificent breeding at a figure so low that they can ill afford to use the common mongrel stallions that hare so long in/ested these parts. . ,
