A Word From Billy Smith.

Editor Fergus Falls Journal
You quoted an item from the
Wahpeton Times Saturday which
was supposed to he very sood joke
on me. But the item was entirely
incorrect. Please let me explain.
l went to Wallpeton, not to do any
body up, but on legitimate business.
l met jew, the "cool headed man
by the name of Wirth." From the
traditions of his race he tried to be-
tray his Master; in other words lie
gave me guarantee verbally, which
he now boasts was not tlue. This
may be highly tlattering to the
"cool headed" gentleman, but what
could you expect from a man like
that Nevertheless, 1 had not
found out that was done up until
found it out through the Journal.
Furthermore, 1 would say that if
Mr.. "Ceol Head feels so good over
that trade, he can get us many more
of them as lie wants. Please come
over and bring all your beaters with
you and l will try and accommodate
you, and if l get beat at my own
game ] won't advertise you through
the paper. Good by, Mr.. "Cool
Head" WM. II. SMITH.
Mr.. Smith is wrong in taking the
undue and unwarrantcd position
that Mr.. Wirth is advertising
anything about the horse deal. or
seeking to in any way mention any
thing about it. "The boys' arc the
ones who called out the first item,
Joe having no knowledge Of it what
ever. We have never seen Joe un-
gentlemanly. Can this now be said
of Mr.. Smith !?

the treasury Of the Island Park

This is observable in the kitchen, where
the Mexican maiden grinds the moist maize
on a stone table, with stone utensil like a
rolling pin, while sitting on Spanish stool
When the maize is ground to pasty mass it
is patted with the hand into round thin cakes
called "Tortlleras, and cooked over a char
coal fire, Then chocolate is made with old
time Spanish utensils and served in Aztec
cups, and SO there is a strange intermingling
of the two races. So it is with the Mexican
weaver and the silver tilagree worker, it is
difficult to trace from which of their prede-
cessors they received their knowledge of the
art.
The artistic work of the Mexcans in
feathers and straw is undoubtedly inherited
from the japanese. With these two mediums
they execute some of the most brilliant effects
both in color and design.
Their designs in wax are marvels i'll them
selves A Mexican artisan in this line will
mold the wax into types of people, and into
animals and fruit, which are perfect imita-
tons in their way. A plate of fried eggs
produced in this way would deceive the
cleverest epicure in its appearance. Onyx
cutters and workers in horn prove by their
work that we have on this continent just as
deft fingers, artistic eyes and patient work
men as will he found in the old.

of the old dark room blocks better than these

more than that there would perhaps he a
difficulty, though not an insurmountable one.
For semi-surburban homes, where n little strip
of side yard can be left now and then. these
clusters of two and three houses together will
be both picturesque and convenient for people
who are not rich enough to have yard all
to themselves. Such clusters add to the
pleasing effect OF the half country landscape,
relieving the dull labbiness.
For homes in cities for persons of small or
moderate means, beyond doubt the newest
fashion of apartment houses, sometimes
called "French flats" Is best. Some OF these
in New York city are thirteen stories high,
and are occupied by a hundred families.
They are q village in one house. To a few
best of them there Is only one central front
entrance; through this all pass. The halls
run parallel with the street, which is much
the better way for so large building. There
need thus be no dark rooms.

Dom Plat on Jehu Baker.

He is O grotesque old fellow, says Dom
Piett in The Washington Capital, and might
have sat for the portrait of Judge Bardwell
Sloto in THE Mighty Dollar or the cele-
bratod Judge Waxem. In appearance he
looks like the old fashioned representations
of "Uncle SAM" and his great hobby is
oratory. During the Garfield and Arthur ad-
ministrations Baker was minister to Venzu-
ella, and some comical stories are told of his
behavior there, Three years ago the people
of that country erected statue to Wash
inrton and Baker was invited to deliver
tho Grafton. He made a sensation, using
the English and Spanish languages in
Discriminatory. and the populace of that
country considered 1t q magnificent achieve
ment Tho GRAFTON was written in English,
thon translated into Spanish and committed
to memory. When the Hon. Jehu stuck on
Spanish word he would plunge into his
mother tongue, which never deserts him, and
as soon as no could gather himself together
would give the audience dose Of Spanish
again He had'a mighty voice, and could
have competed with Fog Horn Allen, Of
Ohio, with great ease. Senator Cullom once
said that he believed that if all the people In

meritorious enough-the lettering of the for
tunes of his aged father and mother and two
sisters who are depending on him for sup
port Nature gifted Donovan with the
faculty of determination, as will be re-
marked in his portrait. At his work as q
pressmans assistant in newspaper Office he
could earn scarcely bare living. So
he determined on making himself fa-
nous and thus lettering his chances
in life He is temperate young man of "a,
and taking a few of his companions into his
confidence he proceeds deliberately to prac-
tice for such feats us this by junping from
High bridge, on the Harlem river, New
York, to the water. This he did successfully
four times. Then he surprised all New York
one morning by jumping from the great
Brooklyn bridge, 1875 feet, to the water. To
do this he had to keep his purpose a secret
from his parents and elude the police, who
are stationed on the bridge to prevent just
such occurrences. His GOODNESS and deter
mination overcame the obstacles.
Lates he went to Rochester for the purpose
of making the jump at the Genessee falls,
wherein Sam Patch lost his life. He was
prevented from doing this. But his last feat
at Niagara eclipses anything Of the kind ever
attempted At 7 o'clock one chilly morning
he climbs up on the iron railing of the great
Suspension bridge, knocks some ice from
under his feet to secure a firm footing and at
the signal of pistol shot he springs into the
air. In four seconds he strikes the icy rapids,
800 feet below. He is kept under by the cur
rent, to come to the surface about sixty
feet from where he struck the water. The
shock of striking the water breaks one of his
ribs and renders him insensible, but he is
rescued and resusctated While the doctor is
bandaging him he decides that he ha,
tempted Providence long enough and that
he has made his last jump" 1t is to be
hoped that he may be as determined in thi.
resolution us in others, for his bravery is

SOME NEW HOUSES.
GETTING RID OF THE FLAT FRONT
AND SHARP CORNER.

The Colonial, Unitarian and Crazy Pc
RODS of American House Building.
After All These, We are Developing
a Really Attractive Architecture.
Out of the chaos of uglness and uncertainty
as to what they really wanted the American
people are at length evolving some beautiful
homes. The old colonial architecture was a
type to itself Some of the houses yet stand
ing, with their square face and peaked roofs,
are really picturesque under the softening
influence of two centuries, and with the old
trees around them
After that came the unitarian period in
our architecture. A house was a place to
eat and seeep in and to be protected from
the weather in. Besides, Immediately after
the revolution there was SO much work to do
that people had no time TO think of anything
else. The citizens of our young republic had
a new continent to conquer, all their own,
and they were impatient to be at work.
After that came the crazy period, when we
tried to do something and could not. We
are at length coming out of that stage.
The picture of the Boston mansion shows
what American houses have grown to in

now Waldemar, the youngest child who is
not yet SO years old, has been elected prince
of the troubled little country of Bulgaria
The prince was born Oct ~. 1Sjs His

ton yet it sent Mr. Baker to congress in
spite of his temperance ideas. These do not
seem to have entered into the campaign
one way or the other
He was born IN Kentucky in 1922, and like
most men who get into congress, studied law
He made a mark in his profession His home
is at Belleville, Ills.
Congress is not new to Mr.. Baker. He
has been Il member thereof twice before, in
1SG6-6S. Moreover, Mr.. Morrison as an
opponent is not new to him, either He and
Morrison have been rivals in politics for
twenty years Both times he was elected to
congress Morrison was his Democratic oppo-
nent. Again they ran in opposition IN 1870,
and this time Morrison bested Baker. Thus
he has defeated the horizontal reduction"
congressman three times and has been de-
feated by him once. 1t is said that he has
powerful voice and great command of
language. From that fact he might he ex-
pected to write book called the Grandeur
and Decadence of the Romans" which he
did. lie has also written other books, but
the Grandeur and Decadonce Of the Romans"
Is his best.
After being defeated by Morrison in 1870
Judge Baker was appointed President Grants
minister to Venezuela He remained there
till after the incoming of the Democratic adj
ministration last year. Then he came home
to Bellevie. Since then, says correspond
emit "he has walked about the streets OF his
town, talking 10 himself, until some of the
people there thought he was crazy. But it
was a mere habit he has of thinking aloud.
He began last year to plan Morrson's defeat,
and was merely going over the details of the
work to be done. Many people talk to them
selves, but not all to such purpose as Hon.
Jchu Baker. He is high tariff man, and
considers that Mr.. Morrison was defeated by
his free trade doctrines. This seems to be a
protection year in politics.
Naval officers belonging to the Atlantic
squadron do not adore Jehu Baker. When
he was minister to Venezuela some officers of
our fleet were invited to a Washington cele-
bration in that country. The freedom of the
capital was given to them by Guzman Blanco
then president, with the request that they
pay no bills But after they had gone Min
lister Baker gathered up their bills and sent
them to the secretary of state. 1t made
things awkward all around.
