ing to build residences this year, and
to these and any Others who may be
contemplating building in the future
We would offer word of advice. The
farm houses in this state, and the
west generally, are as rule anything
but beautiful intellectually or con
venient within. Often the farmer
plans out his own house or adopts the
plan of some other farm house, having
a mistaken notion that by SO doing he
is saving money on the house as well
as the architects fee. The result is
that the farmer is dissatisfied with
his own house, and it possesses no at
traction for any body else. Our adj
vice is that competent architect De
consulted. He has made a business of
building houses and knows where to
save and how to beautify. He can
make handsomer building, with
more room and convenience, than the
farmer could possibly hope to do if
left to his own devices. The doctor,
dentist or lawyer is consulted in their
specialties, and for the same reason
the architect should be employed. The
years that are spent upon this earth
can be passed in the midst of pleasant
surroundings, and at no greater cost
than the ordinary way. The little
trimmings that make city residence
attractive are inexpensive and the
cost easily saved in some other part of
the building. Some of the better ap-
pearing farm houses of the county
were planned by architects, but they
are few in number compared with the
old style houses.
H. L. Schmitt read we'll written
and very instructive paper on elm
coin, A Representative Man." before
the Young Mems Sunday Evening
Club, at the Congregational church
last evening. He dwelt upon the
character Of the man. He put Lin
coin down representative man be-
cause he stood close to the people,
was filled with desire to do some
thing in their behalf, and his life and
character was such that it could be
held up as model for every young
man, The times, he held, did not
make Lincoln great. He was great
before he required a national reputa-
ton. The presidency and the severe
test he underwent therein only serv-
ed to reveal that greatness to the
world. He was successful because of
his singIeness of purpose. When he
undertook anything he always went
in on what he believed to be the
right side, and was always confident
of success, because he believed that
God was on the side of the right. He
was followed by the pastor in a short
address on "Providental Men" in
which he showed that the great men
OF the world were simply raised up as
instruments of God to do his work in
the world.
The creamery business has taken
a boom in the western part of Fari
bault county. Foster township is the
latest to step into line, and the milk
of over 400 cows has been pledged.
The creamery business is having the
biggest kind of a boom in Southern
Minnesota just at present. The
Creamery Package Mfg. Co., of this
city, has sold number of outfits re-
Gently. The creameries seem to Re

From his computations az TO the nature of

This theory has been worked out by Sir

that it is the only theory which can in any

for phenomena in so satisfactory manner
when all Others fail, we must accept II till
some better theory be put in lis place.
While Professor HelmhOlH has not been
