Good bye, old year!

Goodbye, old year!
We've journeyed on together many
days,
And now behold the parting Of our
ways
is very near;
With thoughts of mingled gladness
and OF dread.
a see the winding way that I must
tread
TO Future Lands;
For thee awaits the realm Of eshadows
deep
The Silent Land Of years that lie
asleep
With folded hands. 1
n
Goodbye, old year!
A few more steps ere we forever part
a few more words that wake the
throbbing heart
TO hope and fear;
A farewell smile, a lingering clasp Of
hand.
Ere thou shalt lie within the shadow
land
All silently;
The while ! haste glad new year. to
greet,
The while journey on with memories
sweet.
Old year, Of thee,
Goodbye, old year!
Alas, not half felt or knew till now
How kind and brave and true friend
vert thou:
For ali, twice dear
A loved one seems when comes the
darkened day
When heart and lips all tremulous
must say
A last goodbye;
Yet, though thy friendly face no more
The memories sweet my heart has kept
Of thee.

neig hborhood took on a sudden Quiet?
The question arose. where are those
boys? Dorothy and knew all about it.,
for were we not invited to become
honorary members Of their club, The
Ollapodrida ~ we helped to foot the
bills and evinced an interest In the
affairs Of the club; we lent them ten
cents to buy material to reseat an old
worn out chair; there was another
item; twenty-five cents for lumber,
etc, and last, but not least. and that
which caused Dorothy much suffering
were sundry pieces OF rope to be fur
nished with all the paraphernalia OF q
trapeze arrangement, preparatory to
meanderings aloft, all of which caused

jective point apparently.
We are happily rejoicing these days,
however, in a more recent occupant Of
the family cradle, who SO far walks
feet downward after the fashion of
mortals.
AS time goes on, the children's
youthful exploits, with the accom-
panying worries OF their elders, fade
into Oblivion, as the more serious as
pect confronts us.
The Ollapodrida members of my
family have taken unto themselves a
few extra years; two of these afore-
said members are looking college

in wonderful way quite unlike my

The bread and butter question con-
fronts me? What profession will be
theirs? Are they sufficiently strong In

The day will come. when Dorothy

meath them and the cold world; we
won't be here to settle the little ac-
counts or encounters, or watch the lit
tie cotillions they are going to have
with the dwellers of this mundane
sphere.
Then comes the question over again:
well, old fellow. what's the matter
now? Can't you let the boys alone,
and let them fight it out just as you
did," Some truth in that, answer.
Il will wait until Dorothy comes and
I'll ask her, just for curiosity, what
she thinks OF my past, and the general
outlook.

Minnesota Court Renders Decision
In Favor of Property Owners.

Company of st. Paul cannot cut ice on
White Bear lake for sale, the suit hay

on the lake shore who alleged that the
cutting Of ice reduced the lake level
and was therefore injurious to them.
Two justices dissented, maintaining
that the lake was public property and
anybody who wished could cut ice
there. The case has been hard fought
and involves large amount of money,
the ice company having large invest

The annual meetings of the various
cooperative creameries in Redwood
county have been held and from the
reports made by the officers the indi-
cations are that the creamery butter
output OF the county for 1900 will be
Sin the neighborhood Of 1,5o0, 900 pounds,
the average price Of which has been
about 20 cents pound, making total
.of 100000 turned into the exchequers
:of the different Redwood county
screameries during the past year. De-
Stfacting $4,000 for running expenses,
etc, the actual amount turned over
TO the farmer patrons was about $685.,

the proceeds from the sale of this class
aof butter was in the neighborhood Of
100000. Ten years ago the creamery
industry was practically new matter
in Redwood county. Since 1892 the
question has been agitated to such an
extent that there are now fifteen
ecreameries In the county, and all OF
them are conducted on good paving
basis. During the past year three
new creameries were put in operation.

loses an opportunity to strike blow

Mrs. Passmore has suffered much
bodily pain during the last three
years through Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. AT times the pain was al
most unbearable. and the good lady
was very much distressed. She tried
physician after physician, and each
in turn failed to relieve her, let alone
effect q cure. Home remedies sug-
gested by anxious friends were ap-
piled, but all to no purpose. At last
some one spoke of Dodd's Kidney
pills as a great remedy for all Kidney
and Bladder Diseases, and Mrs. Pass
more decided to try them. She did,
and lis now well woman. She has
given the following statement for pub
lication:
At different times in the past three
