MURDEROUS INSANITY.

Illusions of Touch and Smell WI,icl.
Prompt the Sufferer to Take Life.
The incipient paranoiac may hear
voices about him and for a time be
able to convince himself of their un-
reality. But sooner or later these
sounds become so tangible that they
have the full force and import of
actual voices. At first he hears. them
only when people are actually speak

what he hears. This perversion is
technically termed an Illusion. But
at last he hears words and sentences
when no real sound comes to his ears,

These are true Authorizations. Per-
versions OF other senses usually pre-

Does it Pay to Raise Horses?

This question was asked me a few
days since. After answ ering it in the
affirmative I thought the matter over
carefully. and here are the results:
l. | am working a farm of 40
acres. and need three horses to do
everything conveniently.
2. 1t does not need any more CAP
ltal to have two OF the three horses
brood mares.
8. Judiciously managed need not
lose weeks work OF either of them
on the farm in the year because of
their foaling colt .H, r.
4. 1t does not require any extra
help on the farm to care for the colts,
as it does with an increased number
of COWS.
Now, as to how l managed the
breeding, etc. have two mares at
the present time-one foaled her
colt the 1st of May, the other will
foal hers about the 1st Of September.
In this way I have one of them in
shape for heavy work in the spring,
and the colt weaned from the other
ready for the fall ploughing and other
heavy work. There is often u mis-

TO BUILD A TOWN.

T. 3. Walker and III. G. Akeley
Ready to Start a LAUNDERING
City.
T.B. Walker, owner of large guam
tity of the best pine land in the state,
and Ii. c. Akeley of the ii. q. Akeley
Lumber company, have perfected plans
to build numbering city in the heart
of The pine forests up in the Leech
lake country. T. b. Walker has been
acquiring pine lands in that country Tor
the pas twenty years aud now he wants
the timber turned into legs. Inc plans
hinge on whether the Great Northern
will build an extension to tap the new
town. The point selected for the town,
which, by the way, will be called Axe
ley, is on what is known TO timber men
as Crow Wing lake. This lake is three
miles long by half mile wide and Will
afford ample storage facilities Tor
millions of feet of logs. 1t is more &C
ceSsible to the timber than Leech lake.
If the Great Northern will not do what
the Walker & Akeley company desires
in the way of all extension. the logs
will be hauled to the Crow Wing river
and driven down 10 Minneapolis for
saving. In that event the town won't
be built. But the logs can be sawlI at
the proposed town of Akeley cheaper
than they can be brought to Minneapo-
lis for saving. That point is nearer to
Duluth, too, and that is an advantage.
most of the imber is along streams triD-
utary TO the Grow Wing but too small to
float logs, so thatthe logs will have TO be
hauled a considerable distance overland
if sawed in Minneapolis. Plling for one
of the mills will be set this fall. The
first mill will have capacity of 100000
900 feet in season.
