No Hay Fever on the Farm:

In the minds of many, the so-called
shay fever is associated with the
farm; probably from it's name it was
supposed to come from some plant
growing in the hay fields. We re-
call that DR.. Barrett, OF Middleton,
Conn, issued monograph in which
the attributed his Complaint to the
rag weed so abundant in some of the
Eastern States. DR.. Dio Lewis, in
communication to the Inter Ocean,
July 10Th, says: "A word or
two about hay fever. For many
years was one of it's most unhappy
victims. The mountains failed, but
labor ON a farm has cured me. Not
only is it true that people who work
in the open air rarely suffer from hay
fever, but among many sufferers
whom l have advised to spend a
summer in farm. work, not one, l
think, has failed to find a cure or
signal relief, The curious immunity
from hay fever enjoyed by women is
traceable to their table temperance.
Many lawyers, clergymen, and other
sedentary men eat as grossly, includ'
ing meat, in hot weather as farm Ia
borers, comforting themselves with
the though lit that mental labor requires
strong feeding. Whatever may he
the proximate cause OF hay fever,
there can be little doubt that table er-
cesses create the susceptibility -

Another Version of the Alleged
Crime in WoOdeide.

Crime in Woodside.
The sad story from Woodside en-
titled "Another Whisky Crime.'' in
your issue of last week, WAS not IN at
tempt atlape as reported, and as I'M
derstand, has not been entered as such
in the official books. It is true that
John Murray was driving home from
Wadena intoxicated when he met the
girl, mot very little girD on the road.
Naturally John is lively and fond of
joking, and more so when under the
influence Of the cursed stuff they call
whisky. Unfortunately he had more
of this than was good for him wien
he met this girl, who seems to have
been every free" in conversing with
a man in the condition John Murray
was in.
The story has been pretty we'll pub
lished by the girls friends, and l
think it but right the other side of
the story should have the same publ
cation. AS near as I can learn John
led the girl to believe he was bach
elor and wanted a housewife, and the
girl seeming to enjoy the conversation,
gave him encouragement to say more
than he ought to have said and which
caused the girl to leave him. On at
ter thought John regretted what he
had said and with the intention of
apologizing, wheeled his buggy and
made after her, while she suspecting
herself in danger made haste for her
sisters house (which was close at
handy in a dreadfully excited condi-
ton. John having failed to stop her
resumed his journey home.
I have known John Murray, his
father, mother and all of the family
for years. They have been in this
county about Is years, having been
the first settlers in Elmo. They bear
a good name and are very respected
citizens. John has been married about
ten years, and more happy household
one could not find. He has always
taken a leading part in the business
of the town, and at present holds the
offices of Justice of the Peace and
Treasurer. AS for the girl (whose
name is WrighD and her friends I
know nothing, though the course they
have taken, and their anxiety to settle
for 4 sum. of money, makes itlook
more like an attempt to profit bv it,
than to punish the offender.-Fergus
