BAKE, recently visited Williston.
This was a few days before the
season for hunting deer expired.
Of course Burdick wanted to have
a hunt while here, and accordingly
arranged with his friend, Octave
Palleter, to get up a little party
and take a run through the timber
The arrangement was very easily
carried out and a party Of three
was organized. The trio consisted
of a Yankee, a Dutchman, and a
Canuck. Burdick. of course, was
the Yankee. After tramping
through the brush all the after
noon, they finally succeeded in
turning out a fine large buck
one which Palleter had been hunt
ing for ever since the season
opened-and Burdick with a well
directed shot brought the noble
creature to earth. There, shouted
Burdick, 'You may talk about
your sly and foxy hunters of
Canada, and your German sharp
shooters, but it takesa Yankee to
bring down the game when it
comes in sight.

u a..ng the past eight weeks
ME 10 the fact that the
ou4hout his state and
sest nave preferred to hold
4r u"tnut for higher prices.
The receipts in cars by the grain
"smcnt this month are con-
y less than att the same
year. and the movement
~at III minneapolis markets
SONY decreasing, despite the
uorts OF large amounts in
.o~a4e. Speaking of the situa-
l-an. Mr.. Reishus said:
II oaGmission men tell me that
te 9s.k Of Minnesota wheat has
been marketed. From other
sources he Statement is made"that
large amounts Of wheat are III store
houses waiting for better prices,
AS lar as / have been able to learn.
neither statement will apply gem
,yatly aud the conditions in differ
ent localities are unlike. It is my
opinion. from what | have been
able to see personally, that there is
still a considerable amount of
wheat left which has not yet been
put on the market.
Prices for wheat are very low,
while the prices for flax have been
high. Minnesota farmers raised
considerable Of the latter product
this year, and without doubt have
preferred to sell their flax at prices
huctuating from S1.30 to Sl.4O
rather than to dispose of wheat
with an unsatisfactory market.
Those who have marketed their
flax. have, without doubt, consider
able wheat remaining in store.
ut is safe to saythat a consider
able amount of wheat is stored in
line elevators. A month ago,
when large purchases we're made,
wheat was worth from four to five
cents a bushel more than it is now,
and in view of these facts, the line
elevators have held their grain,
waiting an advance.
Il am unable to say whether the
amount of the '99 crop has been
overestimated or not. [ have been
told that this is true. since in
many sections the yield, per acre,
was less than estimated. Though
the movement is slow at present,
the department looks for brighter
business in January. I find that
there is a general opinion that
prices in the spring will b con-
siderably advanced.

Pointed Questions Ans
Wered.

What is the use of making a
better article than your competitor
i YOU cannot get a better price
Tor it?
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, SO that while II
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
The aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
IF both articles are brought
prominently before the public
both are certain to be tried and
the public will very quickly pass
Judgment on them and use only
the better one.

1.-THE ENCHANTED STONE. !"
A Novel of Adventure and lncident-Por-
trays Events that Are Astonishing.


"The Enchanted Stone" by Lewis
Hind. Dodd, Mead & Company.
With a title suggestive Of all that
is mystical, portraying series OF
events at once astonishing and daz-
zling, "The Enchanted Stone stands,
for originality and bold treatment, as
an extremely clever production of the
authors genius.
AS the title implies, the plot centres
upon the history of a sacred and en-
chanted stone which had been sent
from heaven to a once powerful poten-
tate in the east, as the desired proof
of the truth of Christian teaching. the
theft ana pursuit Of it by religious
orientals, on the one hand, and two
wide-awake newspaper men, on the
other, is made the occasion of a series
of incidents as vivid and unexpected
as they are exciting and dramatic.
The chief merit of the book lies in
the skill shown by the author in recon-
Cling the two homogeneous motives
which actuated the principal charac-
tiers, in pointing them continually TO
the same end, urged on though they
are by opposing principles
The style is simple and direct; one
event follows close upon another with
the ease and rapidity from which no
tiresome or unnecessary digresslopS for
moment detract. While the nalrat iye
is thus vivid and dramatic, and is folT

feels sometimes as if it subordindted
too much the characters, and takes
from their personality in order to keep
uppermost at all times the action.

events. He was always in sympathy
with all genuine progress.
Mr. Thayer was engaged after leaV-
ing congress by the Hannibal and st. Joe
Railroad company, at very large sal
airy, to act as its land agent in New
York city. He was there from about
1864 until 1870. He was also an expert
in matters of invention, acting as a re-
fierce in such cases, for which he re-
ceived large sums. He studied law but
was never admitted to the bar.
During the war time he originated a
plan for the establishment of great
port of entry on the peninsular between
the York and the James rivers in VIZ
ginia, and obtained a bond for deed
of the land. He considered the natural
advantages of that locality a rival to
New York His plan, however was di-
vulged to cretain heavy capitalists IN
New York, and they by some means OBJ
tanned possession of the property and
frustrated his scheme. He said he
would have carried the thing through
had he obtained the land, but the cap
italists undertook it and failed.
He had a very keen sense of humor
and a sharp wit. 1t was most amusing
of itself to hear him tell humorous
stories and preserve his grim counten-
ance from the suspicion of a smile.
Mr.. Thayer really took the initiative
in developing the south end of the
city for manufacturing purposes by
erecting, more than 40 years ago, the
| building formerly known as the Adria-
| tic mills on SOuthgate street. He was
also influential in the erection of the
| junction shop, formerly the property of
| the late Col. James Estabrook, and for
many years occupied by the Knowles
| loom works on Jackson street. This
| building, like the Dread Institute, was
constructed of the stone taken from
Dread hill. He also laid out and i'm
proved several streets and tracts OF
| land in the vicinity of the Dread and
had under consideration at the time Of
his death the opening up of a large area
on the summit of Pakachoag hill, al
the rear of Holy Cross college.
He was married in 1916 to a Miss Car
dina M. Capron of Millville, and as {
result of this union seven children were
, born, two sons and five daughters. The
eldest daughter is the wife of DR.
! Charles H. Perry, and resides at the
corner of Main and Loudon street, anC
the eldest son, John Alden Thayer, il
well-known attorney, who was foi
several years clerk of the central dis
trict court. The other son, George, re-
sides in New York Mr.. Thayer was 8
Baptist in religion, and for many years
attended the Main street Baptist
| church.
