The Devils Lake Free Press says:
George Leavette's wheat was first to
spring up in the county. 1t was put
in just before the heavy snow and is
growing fine. This wheat is from
the seed known as offers o
wheat" Several years ago the Free
Press mentioned that George Fifer, of
Rutten, had planted seed and from
two kernels planted in 1892 he seeded
twenty acres last spring. Heads Of
this wheat have been found to contain
as high as eighty kernels with an
average of about sixty. 1t yields
from So to so bushels to the acre.
Samples sent to a Duluth house were
pronounced 'Sweepstake Fife wheat"
Mr.. Leavette bought a hundred bushel
for seed paying Mr.. Fifer $3.50 per
bushel.

| circumstances The power plant will be
of such size that the capacity of the plant
may be doubled at any time without en-
larging 1t. This is lone to allow FOR the
Increase in demand for the twine after
plant has been in operation FOR some time
and the number of users of wine in the
state increases. The plant at the outset
will produce five tons of Irvine daily.
In addition to the machinery plant the
trustees will install an electric light plant,
for lighting the building, as we'll as the
main penitentiary building and grounds.
The amount Of machinery required for
the plant will be large, as will be seen when
1t is stated that the total fittings for the
building and plant in the way Of machinery
and power apparatus will make about
twenty carloads.
The work on the building will be begun
as soon as the brick yard has a sufficient
amount of brick on hand to keep ahead Of
The bricklayels. The total amount of
brick laying now being done and in con-
temptation about the Institution, in the
building of the barn, twine plant, walls,
ETC., is about 100000 brick, so 1t will be seen
that there will be no idleness about the
Institution the coming summer
The barn came in for q little hard luck
because of the recent heavy rains. The
earth about the foundation on the south-
east corner CAV way and allowed the
corner to settle, making a couple of bad
cracks In the wall. Warden Boucher will
have the corner torn out, n the founda-
ton wall rebuilded.
There are about $50 acres Of crop SOW
already this spring on the various lands
owned or leased by the institution and
there will be a total of a little over 700
when all is sown. The prospects are en-
cellent for a large harvest.

A DIVORCE STORY.

a few days ago a divorce was granted at
Grand Forks to Olive Simmons from
Eleanor Simmons. The testimony in the
case was that the poor young man was a
college student when married and that his
bride was some ten years older; a deter
mined young lady who forced the young
man to marry her at the point Of a re-
volver. Now it leaks out that the couple
agreed to secure a divorce and as there
was little real reason therefor, the story
Of the indignant elderly lady and the gun
was Matched up to play upon the sympa-
thies of the court. The couple located
originally at Fargo, but the story was
known there and SO the case was moved
to Grand Forks where the case was pulled
off as eXDected. ---

Those s%ententious proverbs, or old
saws, which are used as prefixes to all
of the Hood Sarasaparilla advertising
in thousands of papers throughout the
country, n evidence Of a new and
original style of display advertising
both pleasing and effective. The

so cleverly adapting such wisdom as
has filtered down through centuries.
Another charming thing about this
Hood advertising is the unique type

To Crisp Lettuce Leaves.

Do you know how to crisp lettuce
leaves? A most simple process, but one
rarely adopted judging by the wilted
stuff we generally see served. A gentle
man of the old school was my teacher,
and while yet mere maid was pro-
NOTED to the proud dignity of crisping
the lettuce.
First carefully separate the leaves from
the stalk, discarding discolored and i'm
perfect ones and leaving untouched the
tiny hearts; lay them all in cool, clear
water for awhile, oil morning If you
choose; pick them over a couple Of times
before serving; wash one by one and lay
in a wire basket il you have one; il not,
a clean, soft towel will answer; gather
the ends and sides loosely in your hand
and lightly shake the lettuce; then put
the leaves in colander, which you set
In the refrigerator, but not on the ice.
Leave until needed, when you will find
the lettuce deliciously cool and crisp
enough to crack. Never cut the leaves.

Electricity is like q mule IN one re.

can never tell Just when It's going to get
up on its front legs and kick you into the
middle Of next week. I remember years
ago, when was night chief operator at
the Office in Richmond, a very strange
thing happened. I was sitting at my
table one night at about II o'clock wait
ing for it to stop raining so could go
home. There was big storm up the line,
and, while we didn't feel 1t to any great
extent In the city, the lightning had been
playing the mischief with the wires In the
office and several Of the connections had
burned out.
"All Of sudden heard strange snap
ping sound at my instrument, and next
thing knew flash Of blush white fire
lit up the whole room. Then q globe OF
flame about the size Of an orange seemed
to spring from the armature and began to
roll slowly over tho top Of the table. Al
nearly as can describe the thing, it was
like globuls of molten metal, glowing

If touch would SILVER 1t to atoms-and
without thinking I reached for 1t with
wooden ruler.
Luckily my assistant had more sense,
and he yelled at me SO frantically that I
stopped before / touched IT. Just then the
fiery ball reached the edge and rolled of.
As it struck the floor 1t shattered like q
drop of quicksilver and suddenly disap-
peared. When I recovered my senses and
looked at the table. was shocked. The
instrument was wreck and the track Of
the electric apparition was charred into
the wood half an inch deep. II l had
prodded it, wouldn't be telling the story,
for the ruler had metal EDGE and !
would certainly have been electrocuted
then and there.
II have heard Of such fire balls from a
few old operators, but that's the only one
ever saw, and I'm not yearning to see
another. Nobody has ever been able to
explain them. OF course the time speak
of was before the introduction Of improved
current arresters, and nowadays such WIS.,
itors are pretty effectively barred out. -
