Wolff, SoutLwick and Angel this
week advertise something new in the
line of a Minnesota product. It is
sugar, manufactured right here in the
State, and portion of the first pro-
duct turned out by the Minnesota
Beet Sugar & Refining Co., located at
St. Louis Park. This project was one
fathered by Senator Keller, the rose
bud statesman of Stearns county,
who, Notwithstanding his desire to
talk, has good business head on his
shoulders. He started the agitation,
made numerous Investigations. and
then, with the aid of Republican
legislature, secured the adoption of a
law tending to encourage the beet
sugar industry in Minnesota. The
product on sale at VI off, Southwick &
Angel is considered as fine quality
of granulated sugar as was ever turned
out by refinery. Minnesota sugar
should be patronized in preference to
any other, and more particularly that
turned out by trust.

He took the child and proceeded to
chant a lullaby. The little one stopped
crying and stared at him..

the end of a verse, what he wanted was
music, real music. He wasn't to be fooled
with any make-believing humming. OF
course the fact that l used to sing In a

He had not gotten very far into the next
stanza when there came n ring at the
bell. He gave the baby to his wife, while
he opened the door. A girl of IA or IL

you, would you mind letting the baby
cry instead of singing to it?'

Rabbits In Australia.

Mr.. Walter Dalrymple Severn recent
~ delivered an illustrated lecture to a
large audience Mt the Imperial institute,
London, on "rhe Rabbit Plague in
Australia" The lecturer said it was at
the period of the highest prosperity of
Australia and New South Wales that a
patriotic gentleman thought it would
be a good thing to import a few rabbits
into the colony, as they would serve for
food and for sport.
He accordingly imported three couple
of rabbits and they were turned loose.
1t was not long before it was found that
the district in question had been trans
formed into II gigantic rabbit warren.
Indeed, it was discovered that n single
pair of rabbits, under favorable circum-
stances, would in three years have a
progeny numbering IS, 7l8, 900. Sir
Saul Samuel, in moving a vote of thanks
to the lecturer, said the government
OF New South Wales had 1900 schemes
sent in when the f25, 600 reward was
offered, but none Of them were really OF
"a practical nature, and the reward was
withdrawn.

~Chatauquan: A Spaniard was born
in Spain. His son, who was born in
Cuba, is not a Spaniard, but a Cuban.
If a Cuban should go to Madrid when
he is two weeks old, and spend his life
in the palace, he would still be a Gu

lard. If a Spaniard should go to Ha-
Hana when he is two weeks old, and
spend all his life in that city or upon
"A plantation, he would still be a Span
lard, and enjoy the distinction and So

attain. The sons and daughters of a
Spaniard are Cubans if they are born
in Cuba; but the sons and grandsons
and great-grandsons of Il Cuban must
always be Cubans, no matter if they
were born in Madrid and spend their
whole lives in that city. No Cuban can
ever become a Spaniard, no matter
what happens to him, and from the
Spanish point of view he is a degener-
