A Fat Man Not in q Circus.
Chattanooga Times.


Sam Scott, one of the most noted char
acters of Morgan county. Tenn, and
well-known throughout East Tennes-
see, died last Thursday at his home
near Wartburg. Scott was the heavi.
est man in East Tennessee. his light
weight being 800 pounds and his
heavy weight $40 pounds. and it is
thought bis death was due to his ex-
IRENE obesity. He was about five
feet eight inches tall, but bis body
was pulled out to an abnormal size,
and he could scarcely walk. His ply.
sicians would not allow him to lie in
bed, and he slept in . very peculiar
position, usually kneeling, with hi
head resting on chair.

An assertion made some time ago. ,ha,
Illinois spen; forty million dollars a year
for liquors Of all kinds. having been
questioned, the Chicago Isaey Ocean COL
lected some statistics on the subject. Its
apparently moderate estimate Of the
business done by Chicago saloons would
make the gross annual receipts of the
licensed saloons in that city alone over
thirty-two million dollars. Its estimate
for the rest Of the state brings the ex.
pendisure Of Illinois up to FULLY sixty mil
hon dollars per annum. Many illinois
towns charge very high license fees,
ranging from $500 to S7oo This con-
centrates the business, but does not seem
to reduce il. Fiky-eight high-license
towns, with population cfiSe Go, have
loi saloons, or one to every 40 inhabi-
tanss. Chicago, with small license fee
has licensed saloon for every i6o in

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for full crop of

| pies, red raspberrles half crop, full crop

lsanti-Apple and plum trees do not ap-

Lac qui Parle-Prospect for fruits and
| berries up to average, planted groves
broken down considerably by snow drifts.
otherwise doing well, and half as many
more will be planted this season if time
permits.
LIE Sueur-Fruit prospects fair.
McLeod-Forest tree groves in good con-
dition, planting this year will not be ex-
tensive.
Martin-Outlook for fruit good, forest
tree groves thriving, and twice as many
will be planted this year as last.
Morrison-Fruit trees and shrubbery in
good condition.
Nicollet-Prospect for apples discourag-
| ing; for grapes fair; plums wild and tame,
and berries good; cultivated groves look
ing we'll, except that a good many trees
(also apple trees) are broken down by
snowdrifts; not many forest trees will be
planted here this spring.
Olmsted-Apple trees have suffered seri-
ously by the winter; grapes in good condi
ton and shrubbery the same.
Otter Tail-Fruit trees and shrubbery in
good condition; planted forest trees do
ing we'll and about the usual number will
be planted.
Pope-Apple orchards of improved
crab varieties are largely on the in
crease in this county; some grapes are but
little grown; wild plums numerous and
thrifty, but few of tame varieties planted
| and too young for bearing; red raspberries
abundant and prolific; black raspberries
not so numerous but good bearers; cult
waited groves few in number but thriving,
/ there will probably be a large planting the
present season.
Ramsey-Apple trees healthy and full of
| fruit buds; grape vines in fine condition;
| wild plums also promise full crop, rasp-
berry, currant and gooseberries uninjured
by the winter; our winter has been cold
| and tedious with plenty of snow, but with
little frost in the ground, and fruit and
forest trees as we'll as shrubbery hare
wintered better than in 1882,
which was much milder winter but with
out snow and the ground froze deep and
killed many trees, especially apples.
Stearns - Prospects for fruit of all
kinds grown here, better than usual; but
few cultivated groves, but they are thriv-
ing.
characterization of fruit and forest
trees and shrubbery excellent.
Wadena-We lack good seed wheat, and
would be greatly benefited if we could
buy pure clean fife wheat at, say, twenty
five cents above market price for our No.
1; ours is good but mixed and contains
cookie.
Watonwan-Good prospects for fruit,
groves doing FINELY; 10 per cent. more
will be planted.
Winona-AppIe trees are injured some;
grape vines are all right; plums and Der,
ries promise abundant crops. No re-
marks are INDUCED IN, in reports from
other counties.

They Are Not Strangers. Mamma.

Not long aso I stood by the death
bed OF q itt!a girl. From her birth
she had been afraid of death. Every
fiber of her body and soul recoiled from
the thought of it. Don't let me die,
she said, don't let me die. Hold me
fast. Oh, I can't 60" Jenny" said.
"you have two little brothers in the
other world, and thousands of tender
hearted people over there who will love
you and take care of you" But she cried
out again despairingly, Don't let me
60; they are strangers over there" She
was little country girl, strong-limbed,
feet of foot, tanned in the face; she
was raised on the frontier; the fields
were her home. In vain we tried to
reconcile her to the death that was in
evitable. Hold me fast" she cried,
don't let me 60" But even as she was
pleading her little hands relaxed their
clinging hold from my waist and lifted
themselves eagerly aloft; lifted them
selves with such strainingeffor that they
lifted the wasted little body from its
reclining position among the pillows.
Her face was turned upward; but it
was her eyes that told the story. They
were filed with the light of divine rec
ognition. They saw something plainly
that we could not see, and they grew
brighter, and her little hand quipered
in eagerness to go where strange por-
tails had opened upon her astonished
vision. But even in that supreme mo-
ment she did not forget to leave word
of comfort for those who would gladly
have died in her place. Mamma" she
was saying, mamma, they are not stran-
gers, am not afraid" And every in
slant the light burned more gloriously
in her blue eyes, till at last it seemed
as if her soul leaped forth upon it's "a
diant waves, and in that moment her
trembling form relapsed among it's pill
lows and she was gone.-Wonean's

Arrangement of Rooms.

Give your apartments expression,
character. Rooms which mean nothing
are cheerless, indeed. Study light and
shade, and the combination and arrange
ment of drapery, furniture and pict-
ures. Allow nothing to look isolated,
but let everything present the air of So
ciability. Observe room Immediately
after number of people have left it,
and then, as you arrange the furniture,
disturb as little as possible the relative
positions of the chairs, ottomans and
sofas. Place two or three chairs in
conversational attitude In some CHEEKY
corner, an ottoman within easy distance
of sofa, a chair near your stand of
stereoscopic views or engravings, and
one where a good light will fall on the
book which you may reach from the Ia
bic near. Make little studies of effect
which shall repay the more than usual
observer, and do not leave it possible
for one to make the criticism which ap-
plies to many homes, even of wealth
and elegance, Zine carpets, handsome
drapery, few pictures, and elegant
furniture, but how dreary!" The chill
ing atmosphere is felt at once, and we
cannot divest ourselves of the idea that
we must maintain a stiff and severe de-
meanor, to accord with the spirit of the
place. Make your homes, then, so easy
and cheerful that, if we visit you, we
may be Joyous and unrestrained, and
not feel ourselves out of harmony with
our surroundings. -Art ReUjelC.
