AN ODD 1EAF.
BY EDGAR A. FRY OF THE ABILENE
HIGH SCHOOL,

/ was lying on my DaCk, watching
the shifting patchwork Of golden sun
light coming through the tree tops.
When a leaf that saw tumbling
across the lawn like drunken man
caught fast In my necktie.
What queer leaf it was! As |
looked closer, its veins receded
slowly and old mans face took their
place-a wrinkled and yellow face that
would have been just like q dead
cottonwood leaf, but for the shrewd
gray eyes and the smile which twitched
In the corners of its mouth.

II must tell you the story of my life,
lest 1t soon be lost to the world. For

Saying this, he leaned back comfort
ably against the collar Of my vest,
cleared his throat and then began to
tell me the following story:

A very smooth scheme is being
worked by Chicago sharpers upon the
unsopkistiosted farmers Of the North
west. These sharPess are sending
out circulars asking the farmers to
send "a bushel Of wheat charges pre-
paid, and they agreeto sort each bushel
taking out the defective grains after
which the wheat is to be put in glass
case for ,exhbitieR at the worlds fair,
labeled with the name of the farmers
who raised it and the location of farm.
Already thousands of suckers have
been caught, aud the bushels of
wheat are rolling in so fast that it
requires six teams to haul it to the
elevator where, after taking out
enough to Till half pint-bottle, the
rest is sold and already a nice little
sum has been realized by this trans
action.-Atwater Press.

The Northwest.

Editor Whiteman of the Ortonville
Herald-Star has taken trip to the
Pacific coast, and has entertained his
readers with voluminous notes on his
travels as an "Innocent Abroad" He
has done the work intelligently and
graphically; and in the summing up
letter we note some points worth
studying by Minnesotans. The fol-
lowing are a few of them.
Passing through Minnesota, Dako-
ia Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon, the traveller must unhesitat-
ingly say that Minnesota presents
the greatest attractions to the home
seeker. In this state with it's broad
acres of arabic land its watercources
and beautiful lakes, its groves of tim
Der, and thriving towns and cities, a
prospect presents itself that is unsur-
passed or even equaled in any of the
states mentioned, with the possible
exception of Eastern Washington,
which is in fact country resembling
in many respects, our own loved state.
In fact it has an advantage in climate
which makes it most desirable sec
ton to live in. & 4 y s. & =
Through Dakota the country is too
fiat, too barren of timber, and too re-
dolent of the far famed blizzard, to
be attractive to me. In Montana, the
many fruitful valleys are attractive
and grateful in their contrast with
the frowning mountains, but they all
seem to have a population fully com
lnensurate with their extent and re-
sources. In Idaho, the ninety miles
pan handle which we cross is one
succession of snow clad mountains,
fir forests and rushing rivers, without
one oasis to gladden. the eyes of the
wapderer. As you emerge from this
lrlninviting prospect that comes into
the least inviting portion of the great
SPalouse valley, the garden of Wash
.ington. But in a few hours you
strike into a desert, a desert so vast
and so dreary that the traveller is re-
minded of the words of Dante, "He
who enters here leaves all hope be-
hind"
From the above extracts we con-
clude that brother Whiteman thinks
Minnesota is not the worst
place IN the world to live in.
