When the Moose Sheds His Horns.


Very few people have ever seen
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
January / and January s, during which
time the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the date mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and jump at everything
in his way, butt trees and fences, and
his mates were driven by the big fell
low hither and thither. A kicking
bronco was turned in the park, and for
a few minutes the fight was terrific,
the bronco coming out winner with
his heels. Finally the moose backed
away and made a run for the horse.
This was too much for the bronco, who
fed for dear life, with the moose in
full pursuit. The race was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enraged animal, which
was accomplished with no little trouble
and danger.-Minneapoli Journal.

Minnesota Talent Abroad.

J. Murphy, who left Winoua some
time ago, taking with him about $500
belonging to the Borton institute, was
arrested in Chicago, the other night,
while attempting to rob safe in the
residence of Mrs. Catherine Johannes.
This safe, it is said, contained valuab les
to the amount of $780, 200. Murphy, at
the time of his arrest, was in company
with another man, and both were ar
rested. 1t is not thought that the case
will be pushed, as he will no doubt get
the full penalty of the law in Chicago.

The OhiO's Bed.

A prominent geologist who has been
looking into the formation of the bed
of the Ohio river AZ miles below Pitts
burgh says the old river bed is 800 feet
above the present water level and he
finds there stones of Canadian granite,
whose nearest home now is on the
Canadian side of Lake Ontario. In
the glacial gravel he came across
rough arrowhead, which he attributes
to the glacial period, perhaps 100000
years ago.-Chicago News.

squatters and Boomers.

The sooners who have squatted on
township $50 are being driven out by
the Indian police, and, while no blood
shed has occurred, there is some ugly
talk. This township is in dispute and
the land office officials have instruc-
lions not to take filings on land in it.
The other townships withdrawn from
settlement are: 1899, 1927, 1926,
and w %. Both 1877 snd 15S are located
in the northeastern part of the reser-
walton, and are tamarack lands. not fit
for settlement, anyway. The best fea-
ture of the Red lake opening, so far, is
the impetus given to the sale of loose
farming lands in that vicinity. In one
day the sales by local real estate meu,
of Red Lake Falls, aggregated over 10
quarter sections and from SIS to $40,
lying in contiguous townships. The
streets present an interesting sight,
lined on each side with motley throng
of strangers, and the prairie schooner
looming up all in the center. All day
and each day the crowd grows greater.
1t is remarkable, considering that the
opening is still month off. The set
tiers driven from township $50 are COM
ing back to the city.

Stands by AnOka.

Judges Brill, Otis and Kelly, of the
Ramsey county district court, handed
down a decision in the matter of the
location of the fourth hospital for the
insane by the commission appointed for
the purpose, dissolving the temporary
injunction granted at the request of
Hastings petitioners and refusing
longer to restrain the commission from
purchasing a site at Anoka. In this
the claim of the Hastings petitioners is
overruled.
While joining with the other mem
bers of the bench in signing the order,
Judge Kelly, in q memorandum, dis
sents from the views of his colleagues,
as to the propriety of the action of the
commission in reconsidering their vote,
proclaiming that in so doing the COM
mission was guilty of ''blunder
amounting almost to crime"

The Pine Sale.

The Red Lake pine will be scheduled
for sale at So per 1000 feet, the mini
mum price fixed by law. The govern
ment has no information to permit a
grading of several prices. 1t was con-
cluded it would be better to put it all
in at the minimum and trust to compe-
tition to raise this figure to the value Of
individual tracts. The only thing that
might defeat this would be com bina-
ton between the large bidders, and it
is understood that there will be enough
small bidders to defeat any such plan.
1t is understood that there will be
many persons who will buy 40 or 80
tract with the intention of putting in
portable saw mills and saving for
the immediate local demand on the
reservation.
The first sale is largely experimental,
and if it does not go off satisfactorily,
future sales will be conducted on diff
ferent basis. There are 3,O01 descrip-
tions, 40's or lots, containing from
10000 to 700, 900 feet of pine, and aver
aging about $4,000, so that the total of
pine is not far from $50. 900. 900 feet.

weather looks fresh and crisp as a
summer breeze on the tips of the waves,
so for the sake of the effect reds and
rose colors are being set aside for grays
and blues.
A touch of crisp and spotless white
always makes dress seem cooler than
1t Is. A gown that Is unbearable may
be made comfort to look at by the
addition of crisp double tuft of fresh
lace at the base of the collar and a
fall of frosty lace from 1t to the waist
This device is employed in the third
gown presented to-day, which Is made
fro blush gray cheviot, with a vest
of white null and lace, and with but
ton trimming and leather belt. We
won't discard big sleeves when they
are so comfortable. One woman Is re-
ported as experimenting with the lin
ing to her sleeves by having them all
perforated She says she has little
breezes blowing about her shoulders
all the time. no matter what her gown
is, but her enthusiasm may color her
report of the matter.
Much attention is being spent on get
ting cool effects. There is the white
tulle ruff seen in the next Illustration,
for instance. 1t is made of the crispest
tulle, very full and frosty white, and
the tulle edges are finished with tiny
cleaning satin line, which adds to the
frosty effect. Such a ruff is set on
narrow ribbon and when adjusted it
comes away up about the ears. 1t
then makes a woman look as if she
had stuck her head through a snow
wreath, but while she looks so re-
frigerated it is very likely that rivers
of perspiration are trickling down her
back and throat. 1t is the same way

England and Her Friends.

England as a nation has not and rare
ly has had friend. She is isolated,
and the world delights to impress her
isolation upon her. Once, indeed, she
drew very close to Holland, so close
that, after fighting her battles for two
generations, she offered to mako one re-
public with her, but the only results
were seven Of the fiercest naval engage
ments ever known and the ousting of
the Dutch from their dominion of the
sea. The only European people who
having passed from under our rule con-
spired to return to it were the Gascons
at the close of the hundred years war;
There can be no more curious example
of the caprices of national friendship
than this. Normandy and Brittany,
nearer to us i'll breed, climate and posi-
ton, joyfully cast us out, and the hot
blooded province of the south, for all
that it had once rebelled against the
Black Prince, entreated us to stay.
With Scotland the case was different
She had for many hundred years
friendship, hardly extinguished until
the middle of the last century, which
brought woes unnumbered both upon
England and herself and many times
threatened to overwhelm England alto
gether. So surely as an English expedi-
ton went to France down came the
Scots across the border The victory of
Neyille's Cross was won when Edward
III lay before Calais; the victory Of
FlOdden was won when Henry Win Law
before Tourney. The story was eternal
ly the same.
If that you will France win,
Then with Scotland first begin.
Nothing could shake the friendship
of France and Scot land, and it was
when France was in her direst need
that Scotland came forward to help her
in her own territory aud for reward re-
ceived the high privilege of guarding
the sacred person Of the French king.

WHAT is MONEY!

Money, my boy, is silver and gold
Or n niece of pictured paper,
And they who possess it manifold
May cut any kind of caper.
Money, my boy, is a worshiped god
And dearly treasured idol,
Used often as a divining rod
At burial, birth and bridal.
Money. nv boy, does n world of good
And more than worlds of evil
Good when poured from the hand OF God
Bad If dealt out by the devil.
Money, my boy, does not grow on trees,
Is not always had for the asking,
Nor gathered in pocket from every breeze
without much deceit and masking.
Money, MY boy, will buy place and power,
Husbands and wives and divorces
Truthful and false in selfsame hour,
Marshaling all kinds of forces.
Money, my boy. it is sad to say,
Buys "body, soul and breeches;"
Is n curse to those who day by day
Live only to hoard up riches.
Money, my boy, both rich and poor
Fall down on their knees before it.
NO matter now IL uldJ cOiuc w ti'ii ucoi
All are quick to receive and adore 1T.
Money, my boy, "What is it2" you ask,
As II 1t were something funny.
A correct reply is no easy task,
For money is nothing but money.
Money, my boy. alone by itself
Is naught but name for riches
And whether we'll or i'll gotten Is pelf,
L. Hes nj holm haXVitehpa
But money, my boy, don't pass it by
When skies grow bright and sunny,
For it's ten to one that before you die
You'll find it handy to have some money.

FlOGGED BY HIS WIFE,
His Helpmate Triced Him Up and Then
Piled the Whip.


Mrs. William Martin of San Bernar-
dino, Cal, tied her husband up by the
thumbs the other morning and gave him
such horsewhipping as he will not
soon forget. The punishment was inflict-
ed early in the day-in fact, shortly aft
er the recreant husband had returned
from night out-but was witnessed by
several neighbors, and they predict that
Martin will forswear the gaming table,
the cause of his squandering small
legacy to which he recently fell heir.
Three weeks ago Martin, who had
been a man of all work in town, was
notified that he had $500 waiting for
him in Kansas, and he went to that
state to claim his own. When he return
ed to the city few days ago with the
$500, he felt that he should enjoy him
self. Taking $50 of the money, he made
the rounds of the resorts, and by morn
ing his $50 was gone. He reported at
home for breakfast, but found that his
wife had more than breakfast waiting
for him.
The Martins live in cottage in the
northern part of the city, and what was
the surprise of the neighbors who were
astir to see Mrs. Martin leading her hus-
band toward the barn. He is rather
small of stature, and his wife, while
not tall, is muscular, as the issue dem
onstrated. She forced Martin along I'M
til the fence in the rear of the barn was
reached, when she produced a rope and
proceeded to knot it about both his
/ thumbs. This done and securely tied,
she brought him up to post and tied
! the rope over, and the captive husband
was in such position that the more he
pulled the greater was his pain. She
went into the barn for the whip Martin
uses when driving, and she knew what
to do with it. She belabored her hus-
band around the back and shoulders and
continued to lay on the blows even when
/ he begged her to desist and made all
sorts of promises for his future conduct
She did not seem to be moved by them
and continued the whipping until she
had beaten him into quietness and SUBJ
mission. Then she united him and led
the way to the house. -San Francisco

al TyIer's staff, who was a witness OF

al Tyler's staff, who was a witness OF
Colonel Quay's conduct.
General Tyler gives this eulogium of
Colonel Quay's gallantry: Colonel
Quay was upon my staff as a volunteer
aid de camp, and to him l am greatly
indebted. Notwithstanding his enfee.
bled health, he was in the saddle early
and late, ever prompt and efficient, es-
pecially so during the engagement. In
the charge on Maryes Heights his cool
ness and gallantry were of a most con-
spicuous character, such indeed as few
men in sound health could have equaled,
and such as l never saw excelled under
any circumstances. but feebly express
it when l say his conduct commanded
my highest admiration. Not satisfied
with his labor of the afternoon, and al
though so weak from his sickness as to
be scarcely able to travel. he remained
in the field, aiding in removing the
wounded from under the enemys guns
until after midnight. ?"
Winfield NJ Clark was the captain of
Company F of the One Hundred and
Thirty fourth, the company which had
% out of its so men killed or wounded
within the short space of 12 minutes.
Colonel Quay" he says, "did not
try to protect himself, as some officers
did, by dismounting, but rode his horse
to within few yards Of the wall.
The results of the attacks on Marye's
Heights or of the battle of Fredericks-
burg are known to all students of his
tory. Six times the Federals charged;
six times they were beaten back. Gener-
al Longstreet in his account of the bat
tie gives it as his opinion that the Fed
erals left fully 1000 men killed and
wounded on the hillside. 1.-THE Dead"

When one is familiar with the part
played by Colonel Quay in this terrible
engagement, wonder at the great influ-
ence he exercises over men ceases. The
man who could ride through such terri
BILE carnage, who could see men falling
about him by thousands and yet amid
it all bear himself with perfect equa-
nimity and heroic valor, was undoubt-
eddy born to be leader Of men. The
fact, then, that he could enter upon
such fearful drama with $40, 900 of
his comrades money in the haversack
which was fastened across the shoulders
shows, too, that he is not man to fear
responsibilities. This money was all
faithfully distributed by him when he
left the service after the battle, and its
distribution was doubtless attended with
many dolorous scene. II st. Louis
