In the broad, common-sense way in which

not to be wondered att when 1t is re-

by the rules of Valentines day to wait

bind him to another.

broadened, until the valentine game

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Feb 12-
The Peoples Party league, of Otter
Tail county, held its annual meeting
in this city today with an attendance
of upwards of 100 farmers from every
part of the county. Officers elected
were: B. F. Partridge, president; NJ.
G. DAILY, H. l.. Burgess, E. r. DAM
pier, Martin Alberg, Aaron Scribner,
vice presidents; Judge E. Frankberg,
secretary; H. P. Bjorge, treasurer. The
resolutions declare that, though the
league is as firmly convinced as ever
of the correctness of the principles of
free silver coinage, and believes it will
triumph in 1900, the issues which the
coming state contest in Minnesota will
settle, rather than national issues,
should be brought into bold prominence
In this campaign.
The resolutions declare for a dis
tance freight tariff law; election by the
people of the state board of railroad
commissioners; a constitutional amend
ment to select United States senators
by a vote of the people; county option
on the liquor traffic; initiative and ref
erendum in legislation; reformation of
the various state departments, and
lastly and most important they favor
cooperation of all reform forces for
the purpose of carrying into effect
these reforms.
Rev. John L. Erickson was elected
county organizer, and liberal subscrip-
tions were pledged to defray the ex-
penses. The address of the day was

The observance of the birthday Of Abra-

widely established. either by public law or
by general custom, will more and more force
the orators of these occasions to depart from
the line Of biography and incident and eu-
logy, and to assume the duty Of applying
to pending public questions the principles
illustrated in the life and taught in the
public utterances of the man whose birth
we commemorate.
And, after all, we may be sure that the
great simple-hearted patriot would have
wished it so. Flattery did not soothe the
living ear of Lincoln. He was not unappre
ciative Of friendship, not without ambi-
ton to be esteemed, but the overmastering

and to give brightness and the possi-

Snoring men are as plentiful a. whis-
Ky in Kentucky. However, while this
evil 10 predominant with the human
race, yet it is indeed seldom that q
member Of the uAimal kingdom be-
comes afflicted with the snoring habit.
There is just one case of the kind known
to exist in Kansas City, Kan, and while
there is no question about the existence
OF this one case, the afflicted animal
contracted the habit from man, says the
Kansas City Journal. :
Prince, the oldest horsein the Kansas
City (Kan.) FIRE department.. has the
snoring habit, and he's got it bad. All
Of the ''laddies" at fire headquarters
have good records as snorers. but
Prince can allow them all bad cold and
then beat them out, pulled up. Snor-
ing Prince, or the prince snorer, is the
horse driven by Assistant Chief William
Mcconnell. He generally minces away
at his food until after IL o'clock each
night, providing there are no alarms.
At about this hour he lies down in his
stall. and in few minutes his eyes
close, and soon thereafter the snoring
begins. The noise produced by the
sleeping horse is similar to that Of q
snoring man. Before 1t became known
that Prince actually snored several of
the fremen, who take turns about
watching at night, were accused Of go
ing to sleep on duty. The only founda-
ton for the accusation was the snor-
ing. In order to prove their innocence
it became necessary for them 10 peach

The peanut roasters OF black iron,
such ~ are commonly seen in the city
streets, are likely to have a capacity of
20 quarts. Such roasters are sold in
sizes ranging from ten to twenty-eight
quarts. Peanut roasters are made to
hold three bushels, which makes q
roaster as big as barrel. Such pea
nut roaster would be set up at public
resort at the seashore, or perhaps at
fairs. says the New York Sun.
There are combined peanut roasters
and warmers made in various sizes, the
warmer having glass sides and a hot
water reservoir below. Separate pea
nut warmers are made of various ma
terials or combinations OF materials,
including tin, iron. steel and copper,
and they are made In . variety of shapes
and sizes, and equipped for heating by
charcoal or oil.
There is an automatic roaster of
which the cylinder is turned by small
steam engine attached to the crank,
which serves to attract attention, and
is oftenest seen at the seashore and
other places of resort. The most elab-
orate and costly peanut outfit il the
