I'VE have in our modern civiliza
ton a class of people who do more Ia
disturb the happiness of thousands ol
homes than almost any other type 81
persons in our land. They escape the
line tooth comb Of the law. They 20
on and they go on escaping the judges
and the juries and the penitentiaries.
The district attorney cannot find them,
the sheriff cannot find them, and the
grand jury cannot find them. Shut
them off from one route of ileriidy and
they start on another. You cannot by
the force of moral sentiment persuade
them to desist. You might as well
read the ten commandments to flock
of crows. expecting them to retreat
under the force of moral sentiment.
They are to be found everywhere, the
whisperers of scandal, the tattlers OF
gossip. ! think their paradise is a
country village Of about one or two
Thousand people where everybody
knows everybody. But they are also
to be found in large quantities in all
our cities. They have prying dis
position. They look into the base
ment window at the tables of their
neighbors and can tell just what they
have morning and night to eat. They
can see as far through keyhole as
other people can see with door wide
open. They can hear conversation
ON the opposite side Of the room. In-
deed, the world to them is a whisper
ing gallery. Taimage.

FARMERS ELEVATORS.

Negotiations are now pending for the
transfer of one-half interest in some of
the farmers elevators in Dakota to the S.
H. Wood Produce Co., of Minneapolis. Mr..
S. H. Wood has been handling considerable
grain for the farmers and forming elevator
companies during the past two years and
has given such good satisfaction that it has
been thought best to unite the interests of
the farmers owning these elevators with the
S. H. Wood Produce Co.. which will
strengthen the farmers positions because
it will increase the interests of their brok-
ers in handling the grain, and Mr. Wood
is in a position to furnish all the money
necessary to handle the grain. The S. H.
Wood Produce Co. are also not tied down
by the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
but are free to sell anywhere when the
highest prices can be obtained.
