DOES CAREFUL FARMING PAY IN
NORTH DAKOTA? ~

Willow City, N. D., Nov. 10,
1891 settled and took a home
stead in this place in 1889, with
my wife and five children. All I
had to start with were two horses,
one of which died the first year,
two COWS, and my farm tools, worth
about $50 to $75, but money I did
not have: I went along as circum-
stances allowed me, raising steers
to break my land, and improved
from year to year. My children
grew up and helped me, and now I
am the owner of 1,4OO acres of
land, which is worth $4,000, and
have farm buildings worth over
$1,000, and have Is good work
horses, 8 young horses, Is head Of
cattle and 10 hogs. have plenty
OF tools to run my farm. This year
I raised 10000 bushels of wheat,
besides the other grain. My land
consists of about 100 acres mostly
timber, 100 acres mostly meadow,
100 acres of pasture, and the bal
ance [ farm. Ny farm land I crop
two-thirds each year, and have one
third for summer fallow. About
one-third of this years crop will
pay me all out of debt. I wish to
remark that when I came from the
old country, Germany, I brought
with me $1,000. and I bought me a
farm in Milleville, Mimi, in 1885,
and in two years I had to leave the
farm and everything else to nv
creditors. My advice to every poor
n an with a family is, don't 60 in
debt in the eastern country or
rent farms down there, but come
west, where you can get a home
stead for almost nothing, and be
five years free from taxes. I can
recommend this country here to
the people of the east.

It has become evident, according
to The Art Amateur, that the only
way to raise the necessary money
for The Dewey Arch is by a pop
ular national subscription, to
which everybody may contribute;
and the magazine, in it's February
number, undertakes to be the first
periodical to start such a subscrip-
ton. 1T will accept all sums,
large or small, will publish the
donors names and the amount of
their subscriptions, and will bank
the money received until such time
as it can be used for the actual
construction of the Arch" It
adds that: "It is now for the
press in general to follow or lead"
"The erection of The Dewey Arch"
The Amateur says, twill be a first
step in the adornment on the met
ropolis, and will furnish a much
needed object lesson for the entire

dispense with any means of popu-
lar education which has been
found indispensable by other great
nations. The multiplication of
colleges, picture galleries and
museums, though greatly to be de-
sired, cannot have such an infu-
ence upon the masses as the daily
view of an imposing monument,
such as the Arch, magnifcently
decorated with sculptures whose
meaning is apparent to every pas
ser-by, will be when finished.

Dau Thoughts
By 0rosvenor.'"

Lincoln Reflections f: When a
great public character is dead,
History, like the Almighty, does
not look on the outer appearance
any longer to judge thereby. Liv-
ing, a man may be as gawky in
appearance as Lincoln and as ill.,
clad. Short-sighted, little men
will call him q buffoon. Dead, the
outer appearance of his body falls
away from his life-work, just as a
mans outer frame falls away from
his soul, leaving both bare to the
closest scrutiny. The further
away we get from the living days
Of Lincoln, the clear or is our knowl-
edge that a giant-every way great
lived and worked and joked and
sorrowed when he lived.
To us young men in the full
hurly-burly of life, no matter what
our politics Or what our relation to
the Mason and Dixon line, there is
good for us in a look at Lincoln
and a thought about him. Mincing
fools dressed like animated fashion
plates lose the lessons from him
that are real to some Of us. To
have a great heart is better than to
have fine clothes. To have a
cheerful word that hides our heart
aches and heart burdens is better
than to stalk among men with a
look of gloomy and repellant alb
straction. To be a rail-splitter
with the whole heart and from that
point up be everything and do
everything as from the heart is to
make deep lines Of character in
ourselves even if those outside fail
to recognize it. It is better to start
low and end high, than to start
high by some accident of parent
age and end low. There is more
of gain to our inner selves and
therefore more of profit to the dear
world to be forced into struggling
for every vantage point thst we
gain. Poor-rich Lincoln had q
face scanned more than any mans
with the struggle from boyhood
onward; and then to deepen those
seems and test the metal of him
came a burden such as NO OTHER
MAN has ever borne in the history
of this country. He swung to it
like a man; the keen axe of his
youth needed never to be keener
than his sorrowing mind when
there was a misunderstanding and
reviling south of him, and treach-
cry and SANDER and Judas kisses
of betrayal back of him. He has
his reward; the petty men of his
day are lost to sight; the North
loves him and the South honors
him. His way would have en-
riched the North by making it's
expenditures of blood and treasure
needless.
We shall not, cannot all be
President, but we can all be right,
just where we are. If we are that,
what we shall be does not yet ap-
year. To be sincere, purposeful
and helpful, without spelling our
selves with dreams of IF l were
this or that or the other, [ would
do this or that or the other great
thing" is to live we'll and to be
Lincoln-like.

A GERMAN FARMER TELLS HIS Ex-
PERIENCE.

n 1LnmAN rAhMEh TELLS HIS EA-
PERIENCE.
Willow City, Nd, Nov. 4, 1899.
4 came from the old country,
Germany, and settled near Plain
view, MINI. But after two years.
hard work found that it was not
the country for me or any other
poor man to get a start. About
that time my old friend Schroeder
came down from Willow City, N.
D., to visit his friends and old
home. He told me that North
Dakota would be the place for me
to 60. I just had money enough
to get there with my wife and four
little children. and took a home
stead in 1894. I worked out to
earn money to buy a breaking
pillow and yoke of oxen. I went
along slow but sure. Today I am
the owner of a half section of land,
with about $500 worth of build
ings on it, the necessary machin-
cry to operate my farm, have 8
horses and 5 cattle, and raised
wheat enough this fall to pay all
my debts. This is a good country
for a poor man to come to, and
away ahead of renting farms in the
east. THEo. MARTENsEN.

land five miles north of Grand
Harbor, and now own 76O acres,
with $40 in cultivation, and the
balance is hay meadow and pas
ture. [ have good buildings and
the necessary teams and tools to
carry on my farm. My crop this
year was: 4,195 bushels Of wheat,
1000 bushels of oats, 700 bushels
OF barley, l,ll5 bushels of flax and
800 bushels Of potatoes. We have
fine gardens, and raise all the
roasting ears we can eat. The
water in my wells is good. The
climate is very healthy, and since
we have been here have had &C.
casion to call the doctor but once.
The winters are cold, but the air is
dry and one does not chill as quick
as one would back east. I buy my
wood by the car load, and it costs
me $2.75 per cord for 4-foot wood.
This is a good place for new set
tiers, and [ can advise my friends
to settle in my locality. The coun-
try is fully as good as was repre-
sented, and a renter in the east can
surely better himself by coming
here and taking advantage of the
many opportunities offered. This
is a good place to farm and raise
stock. W. F. HoLL1NBERG.

n.rnarou. Proceedings in Hungary.

An extraordinary story is reported from Komorn, in Hungary. The offi- cials of the municipality of Mocsa, in the Komorn Comitat, are accused of having applied torture to persons i'm prisoned on suspicion of theft. II seems that some time ago the safe of the municipality was robbed of nearly LOGO forins. Numerous arrests were made, but the thieves were not discoy- cred. It was then that torture was applied to six of the prisoners, among whom are three women. The mayor and councillors were present. The pris- oners were thrashed with red-hot iron rods, burning spirit lamps were placed under their bare feet, and the blades of pen knives inserted under their fin ger nails. These barbarous proceed ings did not lead to the desired result, and finally the thief, who was not among the six, confessed his guilt Strange to say neither the mayor nor the worthy members of the council have yet been suspended.

cAHA0A's GREATEST GLORY.
Vast and Ancient Wilderness That Rests
 the Traveller

The greatest glory of Canada is not Its modern progress, but its vast and ancient wilderness, says Serfbner's. If you weary of the sameness and . rof- stableness= =of everything you know, go where 1 went last year. 10 the upper waters Of the Ottawa, where the beaver is the master architect and tae F aose is lang of the woods. See for yourself, as 1 saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga tineau, appearing to come from widely distant regions, have their origin close together and are twins Behold these two children of the lakes, nourished from the same generous breast. Trace their courses and see that. though journeying Tar in widely different di- rectio1s, they finally arrive at a com mon destination Nobody knows all about that headwater country around the sources of tae Ottawa. 1t is prolific same resion, where sportsmen rarely go, for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the railroad. There are plenty ef deer elose to almost any Canadian Pacific station west of Pem- broke, and 1t is not much trouble to get chance at a moose in two days from Deux Rivieres, Rockoliffe, or Mattawa. Not many hunting parties start from there. either. and I suppose the reason is that for thousands of miles to the west the woods. prairies and mountains lie close to the railroad and afford almost limitless opportuni- ties. The territory inelosed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been from immemorial times the home of the Algonquin Indians, and they still remain there. in such primitive inno- cenee that they receive no annuity from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States or their brother tribes oi Canada.

HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of Turkish
 Physician.

A Turkish physician has been ex- psrimenting successfully on the trans planting of hairs one by one to bald parts of the scalp His results seem to show that there is no impossibility in the complete renewal of lost head of hair by this means. The physician, Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to a foreign paper, tried his experiments in the case of a disease that had re- moved part of his patients hair. His plan was to scarify the bare surface and to implant thereon hairs removed from other parts of the patients head. The hairs used for the purpose were trimmed with scissors at each end. Some four weeks after implantation a certain number of the hairs were found to have taken root, and in no long time a goedly new crop was pros dueed. Encouraged by these results, Dr. Hodara has since applied ths method l ether cases of badness fol- lowing faYus, and he thinks himself justified in stating that @elinically there can 6e no doubt as to this very curious faet-t1at small bundles of hair stems cut with scissors and in- planted in tHe ineisions made with the Bearifer can take root and grow, form- ing in tlae long and visible hairs" Or microscopic examination he has satisfied himself that after some weeks a real new bull forms aC ta9 5eBeE end os tl1e implanted hair.
