Ode to the Banana Peel.

Ode to the Banana Peel.
The street car had passed by, but to
catch it he reckoned,
So he ran like deer, and shouted and
beckoned,
Till he planted his heel
On smooth bit of peel
Then he saw half million stars in a
second.
He was in too great Il hurry; better
have waited for another car. This
business of running after street cars
is risky, and undignified too. The
safest and most comfortable mode of
travel is by the regular trains of the
a railroad, provided always that you
select such a tlrst-class line as "The
Burlington" Its trains leave and ar

A farmer friend said to us a few

ment. There is no danger of speak.
ing too highly of Stevens county, and
we verify believe there is new epoch
opening for il. Farm lands here
have undoubtedly been increasing in
price during the past few years. A
gentleman who has sold very large
amount of land i'll Stevens county dur.
ing the last two years informed us
quite recently that lands that he of.
fered for sale one year ago for so per
acre he had sold this season for $l1.
These are facts that cannot be refut.
ed. 1t may be said that is due to the
fact that the greater portion of the
county has reaped one or two good
crops in succession, but this alone
would not guarantee a permanent
forward move in the value of our
lands, because if this were the sole
medium of increase, Il series of light
crops would reverse things, or, at least
check the progress. Good crops lend
stimulus, but permanent growth of |
values must depend on some matter |
of necessity, or upon circumstances,
which create an indestructible de.
mand for land. The necessity has ar.
rived i'll the suspension of free lands
from the government, and the fact |
that Minnesota is, practically, the
western limit of reliable fertile lands
between the Mississippi river and the
Rock mountains, These things compel
men seeking farms to purchase the
same, and when Il man is compelled
to pay value for land he is going to
buy the best he can get, though high
price, and the reputation of Stevens
county lands for reliability is not ex-
celled, and are. being bought by practi-
cal farmers for practical purposes.
