Decides Law is Valid,


You can't get mans property without

the burden of a decision handed down by
Judge Cray, of Mankato, in the case Of
Hiram, B. Cole against Leo s.. Lamm,
brought to determine adverse claims to a
lot In that city. The decision is of state
wide Importance because it affects the
forfeited tax law passed by the last legis-
iature, IN that the court finds that the
plaintiff is the owner in fee simple of the
property in controversy and that the de-
fendant has lien for the amount Of the
taxes, penalties and interest assessed
against the land and paid by him. The
court ;'tE holds that the law is invalid in as
far as it attempts to divest the original
owner Of the right to a notice Of expira-
ton of redemption provided for by the
law which was in force when the original
taxes were sold to- the state Therefore

Blanche Hucherson Writes SO Many

ms y T, %

Writing love stories for magazines
resulted in the arrangement of the
mind of Miss Blanche Hucherson, a
beautiful young woman of Cleveland.
o., who has arrived at Denver, Col,
with her mother. Mrs. Hucherson
was advised by Cleveland physicians
that the condition of her daughter
might greatly improve with travel
and change of climate, and recon-
mended that she take her to Colo
rado. Mrs. Hucherson said:
When Blanche was but little
girl she showed marked literary tai
ent, and at the age of II years had
stories and poems published by a
weekly to which she was subscriber.
AS she grew older her work was ac-
cepted by many of the leading maga-
zines of the country. Ike Il
? She became so infatuated with her
work that she would lock herself in
her study for days, neglecting her
meals. and refusing admittance to all.
She would write three or four stories
a week, and was very successful in
disposing of them. She confined her
work entirely to the writing of love
stories. A short time ago I noticed
that she had abandoned the love
stories and was writing wild and
weird stories of romance. Her ac-
tionss were peculiar, and the physi-
clans pronounced her demented. She
has got over raving over characters
in her stories, and I think after she
has spent a year in Colorado he1
mind will be completely restored to
it's normal condition.

CURIOUS WHEAT PROBLEM.
According 10 This Computation scar
city of Food Is Not by Any
AIenna Remote.

If Sir William Crookes is to be be-
lieved, scarcity Of food is not by any
means remote; it may come within
sight Of persons now alive, and these
not very young, says the London Spec
tator. The case may be very easily
stated. AT present the deficiencies of
the wheat-eating countries are supplied
by North America, especially by the
United States. In 1s97-s the wheat
crop of the United States was about
540,OOO,oOO bushels. OF this quantity
2lT,00O,00O bushels were exported TO
Europe, where no country, excepting
Russia and Turkey, grows enough for
its own population. The states are
able to do this without trenching on
the home supply, because the total pop
ulation is not more than 75,000,000. In
1881, il the increase Of population goes
on at the same rate as that Of the last
80 years, the 75,00O,o0O viii have in
creased to 130,0OO,O00, and the surplus
for export will be no longer available.
Whence, therefore, will the wants
OF the world be supplied? Russia at
present exports largely, the total be-
ing something more than two-ffths of
that from the states. But il cannot be
hoped that Russia win come to the res
cue of hungry world. 1t is already
hungry itself, exporting food while its
own people are starving. Any change
here must be in the way of distrihu-
ton. This change will be the more
speedy because the Russian population,
in spite Of its sufferings, increases. In
deed, the difficulty of the general prob
lem is aggravated by the fact that, up
to the point Of actual starvation, search
ty not only does not check, but actual
ly stimulates, the rate of increase. A
perfectly well-fed, well-educated and |
comfortable population has
a tendency to diminish rather than to
grow.

HUMAN FREAKS.
Various Accomplishments Attained
by Men and Women With
out Arms.

There is nothing new under the sun,
especially in the way of human freaks.
The case of the late Charles Francois
Fleu, the armless Belgian artist, re-
Gently deceased, was no exception.
says the Philadelphia Press. Gamer
arius, over three centuries ago, knew
man born armless who ate and drank
with the help of his feet and wrote fair
and straight copies in Latin and Ger
man. He tells of another who could use
sword and throw jayelins with his
feet, and who was broken on the wheel
for murder.
Magdalene Rudolph Thuinly says
Bartholin with her feet spins and
threads her needle; she weaves, she
charges and discharges a gun; with
a scissors and knife she cuts paper
into divers artificial figures; she plays
at tables and dice, she knows how to
bring her feet to her breast and head
so as to take her child to breast"
Scaliger tells a similar tale of one An
tonius.
Then there was woman of Britain
who was forced to use her mouth and
tongue in spinning, threading needle,
tying knots and writing. Pictorius
NiAinganus relates that he knew an
armless Spaniard who could with an
ak give blow that would cut a reason
ably-sized bit of wood asunder at one
blow.
