How the Minneapolis Mill Men Sought to
Make Up for Low Water by Stealing
Sunday March on Each Other.

How the Minneapolis Mill Men Sought to
Make Up for Low Water by Stealing q
Sunday March on Each Other
good joke and true one is being told on g.
number of the Minneapolis millers. 1t NAV
not be generally KNOWN but it is fact never
theless, that the one hundred and sixteen thou
sand d-horse water power of which the enthusias-
tic denizens of that village are want to boast.
has resolved itself into a body of water much
too small for the four or six thousand-horse
power now utilized. In fact SO diminutive has
this boasted power become that the mills are
able to run but a portion of each day, some
of them having capacity of three
hundred barrels now producing less than
fifty barrels a day. In this demora};zino
emergency each mill owner is anxious to take
advantage of every drop of water there is.
Now MINNEAPOLIS mill owners are not especially
noted fer their piety but SO long as there was
plenty of water they did manage to observe
the laws of God and man so far as to shut
their mills down on Sunday. This gave a good
head Of water on that day even at the present
low stage. 1t struck one of the millers that he
would steal a march on his brother millers by
utilizing that Sunday water by running his
mill all day. It was three hundred barrel
OF flour deal. He gave his orders accordingly.
Sunday morning he and his men were On hand
at the break of day to start up Looking
toward the other mills in his vicinity
he saw unusual activity. What it meant
he could not understand. He. started his
mill up full head. Everythin6 worked we'll for
a few moments, and then the power began to
give out, and, in little time, one stone had to
be stopped, then another, and SO on until the
entire machinery came to stand still. Then
he went out to see what was the trouble. He
soon discovered the secret. His brother mil
lers had conceived the same notion of stealing
a march and utilizing that Sunday water. and
all had utilized it just they did on an ordi-
nary week day, by rapidly exhausting the sup
by the millers, as the good word says, SO far as
outward observance went but the seventh COM
mandment was terribly cracked, as the several
actors made mental calculations of how mvch
he had lost by those other fellows tumbling to
that Sunday water.

An Interesting Family.

We have an old pioneer in Jackson
County, Mr.. James Savage, Of Ruoge
River, who has raised q family of thir-
teen children. The boys, four innumber,
between the ages of IA and %, and
these four boys have manufactured, by
their wi unaided labor, three violins
and q bass VOL, all Of exquisite tone and
finish, and on which they execute diff
cult music, having been without any
instructor. The instruments are made
of cedar and maple, and but recently
one of the boys was offered forty dol
lars, which was refused for his violin.
The boys can make . rifle or . wagon,
shoe . horse, mend Q clock or watch,
work out an slgebraic problem, swing
q pick in the mines, or follow the reaper
with equal success. The girls of the
amily, nine in number, have the same
musical talent, and are not ashamed to
wrestle with kitchen work, afraid to
