SWIFT SPECIFIC Co.. Alta,
A Minnesota Author.

The one who wrote "a Shred of
Lace" laid the scene of his novel prin-
cipally on the banks of the Hudson,
between Poughkeepsie and West
Point. Now, the Hudson is all very
well i'll its way, and a writer, of
course, may lay his scenes where he
chooses, but it strikes us that the
Minnesota author should have made
ga Shred of Lace" Minnesota story
and given some space to Minnesota
scenery. For where can one find
scenery more beautiful, more pictur-
esque than that which greets the eye
of the nature-loving traveller as he
passes through THE Star of the
NOrth?" In some places it rises to
actual grandeur, and for wildneSS of
character cannot be surpassed. To
understand and appreciate this more
fully, the tourist should take the ST.
Paul & Duluth Railroad. the Duluth
Short line, (which has lovely scenery
in abundance along its route. The
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad is also
the short line between St. Paul, Min
neapoliS, Duluth, West Superior and
intermediate points, giving the best
of service, furnishing the best of mod
ern equipment, running the fastest
trains and making the closest cOnnec-
tions with all roads in all directions.
Information cheerfully furnished up
on application, by Geo. w. Bull, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, or Geo. G. Gill

HOME JOTTINGS.
REV. j. C. OGLE DEAD.

Rev. J. G. Ogle, formerly pastor of
the NJ. E. church in this city, died at
Owatonna Monday morning at ten
o'clock. While preaching in the after
noon before he was stricken with
paralysis, his right side being COM
pletely paralyzed.
Rev. Ogle resided in this city for
several years, and during that time
made host of warm friends, as well
among those not of his church as
among his Pensioners. He possessed
the love and esteem of the latter in a
marked degree, and few persons have
seft the city so popular. The an
(nouncement of his death is a shock to
everyone who knew him here, and
their sympathy goes out to lis family.

of this township. The happy couple
will leave Monday for their home in
Michigan.
Mr.. and Mrs NJ. NJ. Pratt, of Ster-
ling, returned Tuesday morning from
a three weeks visit in Western New
York. Mr.. Pratt confirms the fact
that even the most fertile portions of
old York State is losing it's grip, and
it is only by the free use of fertilizers
that crop can be raised. The con-
traSt between our rich soil and the
poor, thin, played out soil of the East
was brought very forcibly to Mr..
Pratts attention during this visit.
The day is coming when big prices
will be paid for Minnesota soil.

of the Hanlon- VOTERS, together with
long and extensive program present.
ing many distinct novelties pleased
the audience. Exactly the same show
is given at night as in the afternoon.
The canvas is absolutely waterproof
SO that no fear Of rain need prevent
visit. Mr.. j. e. Cooper, the present
owner al the show, has a special corps
of detectives employed to protect all
who visit it. Mr.. Cooper is decided
enemy to those who follow shows for il
legal purposes and makes continual war
against them. Formerly he was head
of the firm of Cooper & Bailey and for
a long time was the active partner OF
the late L. L. Barnum. In his long
career he has done much to improve
and elevate his profession.
Adam Forepaugh Jr. is with the
show. by the death of his father he
inherits the income of an estate that
nets him fifty thousand dollars year.
He is not interested in the show, but
is under contract to Mr.. Cooper, who
pays him ten thousand dollars yearly
to act as equestrian director. He is
only thirty years of age. From early
morning until late at night he is at
work training elephants ana horses.
Altogether 500 persons are employed
by the show and 400 horses are used
daily. The expenses will amount on
the average to about $1,000 daily.
One OF the amusing features of the
parade was the old farmer and his
mule who keeps getting mixed up
with the procession He succeeded
in fooling some of Gthe officials who
viewed him as an intruder. j. r.
Macks is the name of this famous
yankee Farmer" He has been ar
rested many hundred times, but the
joke has always been at the expense

Editor Free Press:
DEAR SIR:-I notice that the article
in the last issue of the Weekly FREE
PRESS is badly mixed, regarding the
facts of the recent hailstOrm in this
vicinity. The statement that my crop
was entirely destroyed is mistake.
80 per cent. will fully cover the loss.
Peter and Matt Smith lose about so
acres totally, rest of their crops dam
aged some. Section Is, Mcpherson, is
where the loss is entire, and effects
ohe lands owned by VIM. Geddes, Jas.
Fields, Charles Rowel, Thomas Bowe
and the Hilton place.
These are the main losses and not as
stated by your informer.
Yours respectfully,
HUBERT BRULES.

A LAY OF A LAUGH.

r. B. IN Pail Mall Gazette.
Here am, perehed at my open easement,
Enjoying the laugh Of some unseen miss
That comes ripping up from room in the
basement
Just below this.
Morning, noon and night can hear her
Babbllng away with her chatter and chat,
And it seems as il al creation near her
Was just one laugh.
Picture her, Isn't her face just made for It?
Crinkled and curved for the laughing 1t.
Could she be solemn, dye think, II paid FOR It!
Devil bit!
can fancy the dimples her cheeks imprlntlng,
And see the mouth corners upward run
can catch her eyes with the frollc glinting
Brimful Of fun.
She must be pretty to laugh so prettily-
such laugh couldn't belong to trump;
Humorous, too TO see things wittily-
Probably plump.
There, now, she's of again. Peal upon peal
Clear as carlton, soft as bell
Why, it's infectiousl I'm catching the feel
Chuckling as we'll.
What was dreaming? That musical melody
Trips up the scale, arpeggio.
So Ikea voice that was hushed-ah! well-a-
Long, long ago.
Heieh.ho! to think Of what little straws tickle
Just GIRLS lauvh-and nv laughing one lies
Silent, and well, now, this is ridiculous
Tears in my eyes!
