line may be completed as soon as pos
sible. OF the country he says: From
Hinckley, where the line connects with
the st. Cloud branch, the line runs in q
direction slightly east of north through
g country not difficult to build O. road in.
and continues through q section gener-
ally level and with occasional swamps to
within about twenty miles ous of
Superior, where 1t begins q down grade
of l per cent, reaching the level plateau
Just back of that place. The total
length of the line is nearly seventy

the St. Paul & Duluth line from Hinck-
ley, There is comparatively little heavy

considerable rock is met with. They

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Though Living In the Best Of Air She Takes
No Advantage of 1t.

One of the reasons the farmers wife
is apt to look sallow and jaded, and
why she grows old before her time, ia
that the minute the weather grows
cold she stays in the house from one
weeks end to another. In summer
time, gathering berries or garden veg
etable5. or feeding the chickens, will
take her out of doors, but just as soon
as necessity no longer compels her 10
90 into the open air she remains in
side. One of her excuses is that she
has no time for outdoor exercise.
This doubtless is true, for there is no
woman so hard worked as the farmers
wife, but she must go out for short
walk or drive, if somebody or some
thing has to suffer in consequence. To
he sure there are not the Incentives for
going out that the city woman has; the
marketing or shopping that can be
accomplished in a walk of a few
blocks If there is to be any shopping
the team" must be gotten up and a
drive of several miles taken. This
means n considerable expenditure of
time and is not done any oftener than
dire necessity requires Perhaps the
nearest ncighbor is not within walking
distance, consequently n walk will be
without any excuse in the mind of the
average farmers wife. Go out and
walk up the road, then. half mile
without any excuse except the saving
of your health; that is the best posi-
bic excuse that you could have. You
will come back rested in mind and
brain. You wiz be able to do twice as
much darniug and patching. and do it
with better grace, with the renewed
energy which you have gained from
Your walk in the fresh. pure air. The
farmers wife lives in the best air there
is to be had and takes the least advan-
tage of it.-Detrott Tribune.
