WHERE DIsILLUsIoNs BEGIN.
An Experiment. Lovers Would Do
Well to Make.

In a oarlor of a hotel recently the
conversation turned upon ill-assorted
marriages, and especially upon the illu-
sions of the days of courtship, and one
gentleman related his experience. He
had been charmed by young, beauti-
full creature, whose attractiveneSS, as
he afterward found, lay largely in her
ability to set off her fine points through
tasteful dress and by little arts Of the
toilet. Her musical voice seemed like
a birds notes.
One morning he conceived the idea
of surprising her in her home in
suburb of the city. He wondered if
he should find her out among the flow
er beds, and was somewhat disappoint
ed on arriving at her home and looking
around the attractive lawn that he
caught no glimpse of the one being
who made his world. He stepped upon
the veranda, and as he waited he heard
a voice. Could it be that of the charm
er? 1t could not be possible, for these
were the harsh, shrill tones of a scold.
He rang again, and the servant ap
peared. He asked for the young lady,
and then through the half-open door he
saw a flying figure with hair in curl
papers and disordered gown, and heard
an exclamation that he could not have
imagined as coming from the delicate
lips Of the young creature. He hes
itated. Should he retreat? He de-
cided that it was impossible for him to
do so in good order, so he waited in
the parlor He confessed that he new
er could have told just how he met the
beauty when she appeared in her love
ly negligee gown, her soft hair waving
above the fair brow-too fair to be nat
ural he found now in the sober light
of the morning and of reason. The
tones We're sweet and low, trained with
marvellous skill, he decided, as he COM
pared them with the voice that might
have been that of virago, still seem
ing to echo through the open doorway
of the wide hall. That was his last
call upon the one to whom he had ex-
pected to offer his heart, hand and all
that he possessed r. Baldwin.

An Economical Rail.

Chef Engineer w. r. Manning, OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road, has
invented a new rail that experts say
has many points of interest to railroad
owners, the principal one being it's eco
nomical feature. 1t is well known thai
rails wear rapidly on curves, and
where these are short and traffic heavy
the cost of renewal is very large. Man
ming has evolved a section, which, ht
asserts, will reduce the cost 81 IL pei
cent. He adds materially to the life Of
the rail by placing additional metal IL
the head and on the side upon which
the wear comes.
On the 9Th of May last, during dr.!
weather, a man in the town of Staples
Todd county, carelessly set a fire which
spread half q mile into a neighbor'i
field, where it fatally burned a woman
who was trying to ave a team, ant
severely burned a boy who tried t
protect her. Under our fire wardel
law, which Furnishes people for care
l~essness in causing forest and prairi
fires that injure or endanger others
the chairman Of the town board, actin
as fire warden, had the offender arrest
cd, and he was made to pay a fine o
500 and costs. 1t is this fire wardel
law that Representative Brusletten, o
Goodhue county, has introduced a bi
to repeal.

Farmers Leave Good Lands In MInneso.
h for Western Canada.
Delegates representing q number Of
n~eighboring farmers in Clay county,
Minnesota, who visited the Edmonton
district OF Western Canada last sum-
mer are evidently very we'll satisfied
with the result of their trip. They
think so well of the country that in
addition to the privilege of obtaining
e. free homestead of 100 acres of land
they have also purchased land. In q
recent interview On the subject Messrs.
c. e. and A. Hughes Of GAINESVILLE,
Clay Co.. say:
I'VE r well pleased with Western
Canada. 1t Is far ahead of what we
expected. We find the climate to be
warmer than we expected. AS for the
crops we have never seen anything
that can compete with them. We have
lived in Minnesota and have farmed
some of what they count the best lands
In the Red River Valley for ten years
and have done very we'll in that part
Of the country, and have farms there
at present free of all circumference,
but believe that this country (Western
Canada) is so much better that we
have bought from the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway Company n section of
land northeast of Edmonton in the
Beaver Hill district. We have trav-
eled through that part Of the country
and have seen the grain in the gran
aries and the amount of land that 1t
was taken of and find that they have
grown as much as fifty bushels and
over to the acre, and they say that this
has not been a good year, and very
little II any grain had been touched
by the frost. Hay seems to be plenti-
full, and II you wish to put up log
buildings you can get the logs within
a few miles. Coal can be had at the
mines for rs cents per ton, or you car
dig 1t yourself. Nearly all kinds OF
garden truck can be grown in abund-
ance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they q get four and
half live weight per hundred for hogs
and for three year old steers from fifty
to sixty dollars per head, providine
they are good. We will move into thai
part of the country next summer. AL
the people in that part Of the country
seem satisfied, and we do not see AM
! reason why they should not be 3d."

they would be very glad to afford any.

ent, ~perishable things, silks and satins

has as much pride al usually goes
with little money. To be merely fash
ionable on small means is SO near
