I'emnIes Tor Fruit.

81 WISH said the doctor the other
day, as he watched group of school
children troop out Of candy store,
where they had been spending their
pennies, according to the New York
Times, chat I could form a society
among little folks in which each mem
Der would take pledge to spend all
his pocket money for fruit instead of
candy" It seemed q funny way OF
putting it, didn't It? But the physician
was very much in earnest, and at the
moment it probably occurred to him
that, as children like clubs, an anti
candy club would be a good one for
them. He wanted to do two things-to
stop their eating the unhealthful sweet,
and to coax them to eat more fruit
An apple or a banana, or An orange
can usually one or the other Of them
be bought for the price Of a little
candy, and the fruit IL much better in

the stock. 1t only remains to be said
that corn is now a stable crop in
Stevens county.
The general fertility of the soil is
shown no vever by the great diversity
of its products. Stevens county has
for several years won third and fourth
places on her exhibit at the State
Fair, and this year in the special ex-
hibit of wild and tame grasses, she
took second place.

Bears Fed by the visitors-Every Fur
Bearing Animal That Ever FIourished
In America is Here-Excellent Rules
for Their Preservation.
The Yellowstone National Park is
one of the seven thousand wonders of
the modern world. Things may be
seen there which nowhere else greet
the eye.
What do you think, for instance, Of
agreeable bears, laying aside their
primitive roughness, which stroll in
the park, are fed by visitors to its ho-
tells, and steal the tourists luncheons
from their baskets? How different
from the days, not greatly remote,
when tourists, from a different point
OF view, were objects Of interest and
enjoyment to bears!
The wolverine also lives In the
park, and the whole race of fur-bear-
Ing animals, great and small, are pros
pering. Beavers are peopling the
brooks and their colonies are watched
and protected. Numerous new dams
have been built during the year.
Every fur-bearing animal that ever
fourished in North America Is here,
except the cross-fox. Martens are
plentiful, offers fairly abundant, the
mink, wild cat and even the lynx are

One Social Phase of Army Life.

''It is true that great deal of army
influence was exerted in behalf of Cap
tain Carter, whose sentence is about
to be definitely determined by Presi-
dent Mckinley" said a gentleman con-
nected with the service, ''but it wasn't
due to sympathy or any disposition to
condone his offense. In fact, the move
ment had quite different inspiration.
You see the army (of course, I'm
speaking of the commissioned officers)
forms sort of big family, knit to-
gether by a surprising number of in
termarriages. A young West Pointer
may do unlimited flirting in his cub
period, but when he gets ready to set
tie down it's usually the majors
daughter or the colonels niece that he
picks out for wife. Well, the result
has been that there is an immense
amount of family pride in the service
and when fellow like Carter goes
wrong there's a general movement to
hush it up. The army wants his case
forgotten as speedily as possible, and
realizes that sending him to prison ia
the best way in the world to keep il
alive. He would be a standing adver-
tisement of the whole affair. and when
he emerged five years hence it would
be revamped, embroidered with all
manner of tradition. So there is a
unanimous sentiment in favor of firing
him and fining him and forgetting him.
AS far as not being punished enough
is concerned, the people raising that
cry have evidently never encountered
a cashiered army officer. You'll have
to go to some out of the way corner of
the universe to find one, but after you
do and hear his story, I'll guarantee
that you'll shudder whenever the sub
ect is mentioned"

The moose are increasing, so are
prong-horned antelope and wild sheep.
The big-horn sheep is one of the finest
of his race. and though it now survives
in some ranges of the Sawtooth noun
tains and similar ground in the North
west, is always within measurable dis
lance of extirpation.
The rules for preservation of the
animals are excellent. No person may
carry firearms through the park with
out permit. The scouts sleep out at
night, even in the winter, to watch
possible poachers. 1t is probable that
the reindeer bought for the Klondike
relief expedition may be brought down
from Alaska for their use.
In one respect the park is open to
sportsmen. Fishing is permitted, and
very fine fishing it is.

rabbits and birds and does not injure
deer. Badgers, swarms of muskrats,
squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits of 1hany
kinds, down to the tiny ''paca," or
rock-rabbit, and porcupines are in
creasing yearly, and the red fox and
scarce block fox are frequently seen.
To these must be added such list
of birds as would have rejoiced Audu-
bon himself. Pelicans, geese, ducks,
king-fschers, gulls, cranes, swans and
ospreys haunt the lakes and warm
streams and marshes; eagles and fall
cons nest in the forests and feed upon
the wild fowl; and the woods are full
Of game birds.
The bison is almost the only ami
NAL that does not increase. They are
not sufficient in number and the bred

The fine "mule-deer" and black-tail-
ed deer are very common. The only
enemy to their increase, as well as Of
all the other cervidae and the wild

THE WATER SUPPLY

Morris is very fortunate in having
an abundant supply of very good
water. The mains run everywhere
in the city, carrying the water for
household use and fire protection.
The water is pumped from five wells

small one, into steel tank with a
capacity of8OOOO gallons.

thus giving rise to appendicitis. There
is no other disease. if we may judge
from the attention given to it by cur
rent publications, in which the general
public takes so much interest as in this
one, which is comparatively new to
medical practice. Probably much of the
popular interest is due to the fact that
only within q few years what may be
called the literature of appendicitis has
reached the reading communicates

BE Careful How You Sit.

Recently an eminent physician gave
utterance to the opinion that appendi-
citis is more common in this country
than in others, because of the Yankee
custom that men have-and men are
more frequently sufferers from the dis
ease than women-of habitually sit
ting with one leg thrown over the
other. The habit, the physician was
quoted as saying, restricts the action
of the digestive apparatus, and espec-
tally of the lower intestines, and causes
stagnation of the contents and the
stretching of the opening of the vermi-
form appendix, making It possible for

What Hi|S Norris ?.
Nothing At Allsand Below Are Given Some Of
the Reasons Why.

The illustration of the business
center of Morris, which We present
on the preceding page, gives very
fair idea of the thriving village which
is the subject of this sketch.
Morris is on the Breckenridge oil
vision of the Great Northern R'y, l47
miles west of Minneapolis. 1t is also
connected with the main line of the
Northern Pacific R'y by branch
formerly known as the Little Falls q
Dakota. From Morris west extends
She Browns Valley line, a part OF the
Gseat Northern system. Morris thus
has the best shipping facilities of any
sown on the division from Willmsr to
Breckenridge.
With the large influx of new set
tiers which has come in the last three
or four years, the population ofSMor-
ris is now near $500. The people
are all enterprising and public spiri-
ted, with great deal of faith in the
future of this village and Stevens
county, too. The .streetsl present a
good appearance, as most ofethem
are lined with shade trees of .!many
years growth.
In the business center the frame
buildings of earlier days fare being
radiply replaced by fine two-snd
three story brick blocks. The large
three story brick block of The Morris
Improvement Co. is now about ready
for occupancy, and next year, two or
three more blocks will be erected, if
present plans are carried out.
The merchantssof this1yillage have
succeeded in drawing trade from "a
con siderable distance beyond2 their
natural limit, many coming here re-
gularly from fifteen to twenty miles
distant to trade. 1t is also noticeable
chat very little if any of the best
trade leaves here for the cities, for
The stocks,here are so complete that
there is no necessity of going sawsy
30 trade.
The schools and churches are else
where illustrated. Besides these
educative influences, the village has
an excellent public library and a
public reading room which is open
FOR two days of the week. The Ii
brary has total of over 1900 vol
ames, and on the tables in the read
ing room may be found a good assort-
nent of the latest popular periodicals.
The librarian is Mrs. r. F. Elliot, a
woman we'll qualified for the work
and interested in it's welfare.
The village administration has been
efficient in the economical ex-
penditure of the public money. The
village council is composed as fol-
Iows:-Anton Watzke, President, W.
L. Colyer, Thos. Thomasson, Louis
and H. L. Smith, councilmen;
". F. Cooley, Clerk. The police
aGcers of the city are A. L. Stenger
and Timothy Murphy j Justices; Frank
zahl, Marshal, and Stanley Ryan,
Night-Watchman.

a casual glance at the crowd which
had assembled to greet him and ac-
cOmpanled the reception committee to
the Hagenback establishment on the
exposition esplanade. There he gave
Drlet audience to some of his human
friends and few of his animal ac-
qualntances, particularly Mr. and Mrs.
Rooney OF the monkey contingent, and
asked about baby Rooney, of whose
birth he had received information Just
prior to leaving San. Francisco After a
bath and breakfast he mutely re-
quested that he be permitted to sleep
on his travel worn feeling, and at
once retired to the privacy of the
quarters that had been prepared for
him.
Just after he had retired The vener-
able Uncle Nat" of the "Old Planta-

mitted to his presence and there en-
sued a conference of a pair of phil

reception in the parlor of Green's hotel
at which were present invited guests
from the medical profession and news

home with his guests and emphasized
the fact that he is the most unguess-

VIEWS OF A MANUFACTURER.
Mr.. Frank Mason Tells What He Thinks
of the National Export Exposition.

of the National Export Exposition.
Philadelphia, Nov. THAT the Ma
tional Export exposition has been emf
nently successful from the point of
view of the individual business man or
business house is exemplified by the
numerous large transactions which
have been made since the arrival OF
foreign delegates and visitors. Great
quantities of steel have been sold to
firms in Australia; locomotives have
been ordered by the Swedish govern
ment for use upon the national rail-
way, and cotton goods even have been
sold in large quantities to the colo
nies of Great Britain, for years. the
leader among nations in the manufac-
ture of textile goods.
Mr. Frank Mason. of the Mason &
Hamlin Piano company, said: "We
have done business all over the world,
and since the exposition opened it has
been our pleasure to meet scores of
friends from almost every country
upon the face of the globe. This meet
ing in itself was alone a satisfaction
worth many times the price our con-
Germ gave for it's space. We are great
believers in expositions and l may as
sure you that the National Export ex-
position has had our most earnest sup
port from it's very inception. In my
opinion it has furnished a wonderful
advertisement for American products,
| and feel sure that as a stimulus to
/ our trade it will go down to history as
! one unriyalled. We have made many
sales throgh the medium of the ex-
/ position and congress, and look con-
fidently forward to a material increase
in our foreign trade"
! A large number of other exhibitors
spoke in a similar strain to that of Mr.
Mason, and there can be no doubt thai
the exposition has already paid ex-
hibitors we'll.
