An English writer on America and Ameri-
cans has said of the youth of this country.
that ne is man of the world at the age of
sixteen years. He was more nearly correct
in that statement than in the rest of his COM
mentaries on people and things in the West
ern Hemisphere. Probably this writer must
have met just such youngster as he OF
whom this paragraph is written. This young
gentleman arrived in st. Paul yesterday and
registered at the Ryan hotel with flourish
supremely content as he lounged in
one of the hotel benches smoking
a cigar and chatting with n
chance acquaintance. In conversation

ly. He still has the management of that pa.
per. Devine the younger. having frequently
expressed desire 10 come TO America, was

A G. Mcnamara, of Maquart Tex. arrived
in ST. Paul yesterday with herd of q hun
dred ponies, wild-eyed, bony animals, whose
home has been the boundless plain until
short time ago. Mr. Mcnamara is accom-
panied by two herdsmen, who undertake 10
break every pony sold to either harness or
saddle. The herd is quartered in West St.
Paul A large number of people inspected
the cayalcade yesterday afternoon.
The idea is being agitated of securing the
Strauss orchestra for a season of concert in
ST. Paul during The summer. 1t is thought
such an effort would mean financial success
to the projectors, the character of Strauss
music as rendered by the famous company of
musicians at the Minneapolis exposition last
autumn being such as TO appeal directly 10
the ears of Western people. st. Paul parties
are now negotiating with the management of
the orchestra.

Silas French, prominent Wabasha coun-
ty farmer. was i'll ST. Paul yesterday buying
agricultural machinery. Mr.. French is a be-
lever in the diVerSiticatlOn idea IN cropping.
He has planted 10 acres to turnips this year,
5 TO onions, 3 to potatoes. 20 to flax, 80 to
wheat, 60 to oats, and so on throughout his
farm of 1S0 acres. The secret of failure with
most farmers who fail is he says that they
run too much to one CROP wheat, oats. bar
ley, rye or fax, and as a result, if the season
is unpropitious for the propagation of the
chosen cere al, the farmer finds himself in a
bad hole. Mr.. French says he can count Oh
three good crops any way it goes.
