How to Get western Land

st. Paul Pioneer Press: While on his
recent visit to Detroit Lake William
Penn Nixon, accompanied by his wife,
visited White Earth Indian agency.
One morning he was chatting with
Agent 6heehan, who was dilating upon
the rapid progress made by the abort
gines, when an Indian girl dashed up to
the door upon a pretty pony, dismount-
&C, and, taking the train of her riding
habit on her arm, walked into the
agency, presented q certificate from a
surveyor in regard to fees paid, and said
she wished O patent for her land.
"Here," said Agent Sheehan, dis a
good illustration of just what we were
speaking about" The Indinn girl,
though q full blood. made an attractive
picture in her bright riding habit, and
the editor spoke up. saying: "By the
way, how can / secure some land here Z"
where do you live ~ asked the red girl.
"In Chicago" replied the philosopher Of
the daily press. "Oh, then, you'll
have TO marry mo in order to obtain
land here on the ~reseryation,' p~iquantly
spoke mp the maid. "But ] am already
married; here IL my wife, Eyes, but
she is old;1 am young. Ihees You can
easily get a divorce in Chicago. Come
here; marry me, and you can have land.n
Fer e~ntreaties were SO earnest and
arguments so strong that the editor was
compelled to nse his utmost strategy in
order to prevent completing the treaty
with'the Indian maid.

Parsons then moved away. His wife
accompanied him. Almost at the same

Schwab, who also wac running across

He did not see 5ohwab again that night.

Immediately afterward a fendish

An hour later he saw the bomb
rise from an alley. He also saw shots
fired at the police from the north. Spies

The harvest in northern Iowa is in fru
blast, the quality of the entire crop is
fine and the yield satisfactory. Much
OF the crop is already in the shock.
The disposition is general as soon as the
crcp is in the shook, to thresh it and
then to market it. Considerable OF this
years crop is already sold, and q very
large proportion will be marketed with.
IN the next thirty days in northern Iowa.
This is due largely from the fact that the
dry weather has dried the grain out and
made the straw, as a rule, very short. In
that section this years crop of ell kinds
will far exceed last year as to quality
and also quantity.

Why q Snappish Woman Carried F1al

Why Snappish Woman Carried Flake
of SCOT on Her Cheek.
In one of the parlor cars on a west
bound Northwestern train sat woman
who was not as young as she had been
and whose temper was, apparently,
not as sunny as it might be. For she
scowled and looked sour and tried to
read bit.and slammed the book down
and banged the window up and then
banged it down again when she found
the wind played hob with the carefully
trained bangs on her forehead. Taking
it all around she was in fine state of
mind, and there was big piece of SCOT
on her cheek of whose presence she
did not seem to be aware, but which
was observed and commented on by all
of the passengers,
Soon travelling man came out of
the smoking-room, took look at the
state of things and accosted her in SO
low a tone that his fellow-passenge
were bitterly disappointed in not being
able to hear his remarks or the reply
thereto. The reply, however, was APP
parently very short and quite conclu
sive, for the travelling man retired
about as quick as he knew how and
with something on his face which re-
sembled blush remarkably close, con-
sidering that he was travelling man.
Presently an oldish gentleman-not
too old to snooze in public when it is
warm, but yet old enough to be labor
ing under the delusion that he is vet
something of lady-killer presently
an oldish man of this sort woke out of
nap, looked about the car to see if
there was anybody he could scrape
an acquaintance with, spied the soured
and spluttering female, and immedi-
ately began arranging his necktie and
hopping off his face. Then he hap
pened to notice the piece of SCOT, and,
as he left his seat and approached the
woman, the passengers all watched him
expectantly.
81 beg pardon, MISS" he began with
smile meant to be charming, "but did
you know there was flake of SCOT on
your face?"
ayes, I did, was the reply, snapped
out like the cracker on an old whip.
This rather staggered the old party,
but he partially recovered himself and
Remarked:

QUAINT OLD LUBBOCK.

A Visit to the Market-PIace of the Once
Famous Hsnseatic City.
The market place is - large quad
rangle, entered only by narrow pas
sageways at the corners, and through
the colonnade under the Rathhaus.
The scene in this enclosure is, every
morning of the week, a very charac-
teristic and lively one. The pavement
is covered with farm produce and mer-
chandise of all descriptions. Robust
peasant women sell the freshest OF
vegetables and the most delicious dairy
produce; fish women, ranged In rows,
each with her feet and petticoat hem
tucked away in box to keep the
draughts off, attract by their vigorous
cries, customers to select from their
stock of live fish swimming about in
trays; carts are crowded together in
one corner, piled full of great loaves of
bread; pigs squeal and fowls clatter in
pyramids of cages; tables creak with a
burden of quiyering cheeses that
thicken the surrounding air; it is a
Babel of sights and sounds and odors,
which the multitude appear to enjoy
and thrive upon. Whlle the stranger, II
at all fSstidious, holds his ears and his
nose, or takes a speedy flight. At
noon time the shadows of the house
gables fall upon a clean swept pave
ment, with only couple of fruit
booths to remind one of the tumult of
the early morning. This is tbs hour to
sit on the well-worn bench under some
overhanging story, and imagine the
scene when merchants of every i'm
portant town, from Novgorod to Ber-
gen, from Wisely to London, sought
this their commercial capital, in the
days before the discovery of the New
World, with it's unreasonable re-
sources, gave new direction to trade.
and made the greatest commercial
partnership in history no longer a
necessity. A Lutheran priest in long
black robe and high ruff hurrying
through the colonnade, completes the
illusion of the past induced by this
unique picture of its grandeur. Two
little children in latest Paris fashion
trip along with their nurse, and the
spell is broken Christian at Work.
