was natural enough that, having a To-

friends in the city, and so it came
about that before they had been there
long they were invited to dinner by
an American lady. Mrs. TruaX, whose
husband was engaged in some mercan-
tile enterprise there.
The TruaX house was cosmopolitan
one, and at 1t the habitue expected to
meet all manner of celebrities and hu-

the prospect, whirled off, accompanied
by her decorous relatives, arrayed for
their best silks.

That fad, the Home Magazine reminds

were very few people who could prop

Eertha tur1od with an anticipation
which she cndeavored to subdue. 1t
was not likely that the son OF a gar
dener would be at the home Of Mrs.
Truax. But in the young man who
entered Bertha saw with unmistakable
recognition the amiable, soft eyes. the
round face and high brow, and the
quiet, kindly manners of her old
friend. borne with the assurance and
ease that come with self-conf1dencs.
The hostess managed to whisper to
Bertha's aunt. and of course Bertha
overheard:
This young man has distinguished
himself in landscape gardening. He
has just laid out a park for Prince
Zagenwell. and is much thought Of
both In Holland and Germany. I hear
that the Duke Of York is likely to send
for him for his new place In Scotland" :"
Dominicus Van Brunt saluted his
we'll Bertha remembered that quaint
reverence Of manner! He was pre-
sented to the guests and at last was
led up to Bertha. who suddenly felt as
II she were in short frocks. with free
kles on her face and braids down her
back. He started and flushed. and
then held out his hand in the good
American way. regardless Of cere-
mony.
What. you are acquainted" cried
the hostess. They explained. The
hostess turned in some perplexity to
the spinster aunt. She wondered II
she had unintentionally committed an
indescretion. But there was no an
noyance in the face Of the elder Miss
Henderson. and the hostess felt at lib
erty to permit the two young people
to go down to dinner together.
The conversation at dinner would
not be particularly interesting to re-
count. But Bertha remembered every
word of it. Perhaps Dominicus Van
Brunt did too-but it has been i'm
possible to secure his confidence. 1t
is certain thing. however. that the
next day a basket came for the young
American lady. containing a dozen
yellow tomatoes. dropped like eggs in
nest of white daisies. Which was.
surely. a curious gift!
Now it is undeniable that Bertha
Henderson found Amsterdam interest

ure a young landscape gardener ran
to yews and weeping willows in his de-
signs. and accepted with alacrity the
opportunity of designing cemetery
for some new American town. But he
recovered from his gloom when there
reached him from the shores of the
Baltic trinket fashioned of lucent
amber, shaped like yellow tomato.
1t occurred to him that he ought also
to visit the storied beaches Of the Bal
tic, and he did so without an hours
unnecessary delay.
And the consequence was, as the
children say when they play the old
game, that when Miss Bertha Mander-
son returned to America. she wore for
an engagement ring a tomato shaped
topaz on her third finger.

The latest and greatest work by the

was sent to Redwood Falls, and
shortly afterwards the resignation
of the elder Pierce was handed in.
The board Immediately appointed
Wilson to succeed him. The young
man gained good reputation as
public prosecutor. At the ensuing
Republican county convention he
was not candidate and Frank
Clague was nominated and later
elected to succeed him.
A few months after the expiration
of his term of Office Wilson was
seized with one of his sudden spells
to quickly disappear. He went di-
rect to St. Louis, but his where
abouts were unknown for a long
time. He was in ST. Louis at the
outbreak of the Spanish American
war. His old military desires
came back to him, and he assisted
in raising the First Missouri regi-
ment of volunteer infantry, in a
company Of which he was made and
commissioned a second lieutenant.
The war closed without giving his
regiment chance to see active hos
tilities, or win soldier S renown
for which he had an irresistible
longing. Lieut.. Pierce then re-en-
listed as private in the Eighteenth
United States Volunteer Infantry,
the month of his enlistment being
March, 1899 Soon afterwards the
regiment was transferred to duty
in the Philippines, where Wilson
worked his way to a corporal and
| where he was gaining military
glory.
It was one Of the happy moments
of the lives of his parents, when
after failing to hear from him for a
long time after his disappear
ance from Redwood Falls, he wrote
long letter to his mother, and this
was read to her while she was on
her deathbed little less than two
years ago. The letter rallied the
mother for time, and when she
passed away it was with feeling Of
happiness at having heard from her
son that one time before her death.

elusive hold on their territory un-
less something special is to be
gained by running into other roads
preserves.
It is suggested that the North
western would find more exclu-
sive route for it's Fargo extension
by running from Marshall north
west through Dawson, Appleton,
Norris and Elbow Lake, and thence
midway between the two Great
Northern divisions into Moorehead
and Fargo. The assembling of rail
road material at Tracy, instead of
at Sanborn or Vesta, would seem to
indicate that this last, or something
like this route, is the one proposed.
If the Vesta route is to be used all
this material will have to be hauled
80 miles back to Sanborn and then
up the Vesta branch.
OF the line suggested from Pipe
stone to Minneapolis the critics say
that every important point and line
touched is now reached by the
Northwestern nes-Pipestone, Ira
cy, the end of the Currie line, the
Vesta line and Redwood Falls. It
would be against good railroad pol
icy for the Northwestern to build
line which would principally serve
to divert traffic from these already
completed lines of its own system.
Then from Beaver Falls east the
proposed line would be SO closely
hemned in by the Milwaukee on
Que side and the Minneapolis & St.
Louis on the other, that it would
get but meagre support. At no
place would the parallel lines be
more than six miles away.
1t is a story among shippers and
railroad men that the Northwestern
has shipped agricultural machinery
and other goods from Chicago to
Redwood Falls, where the stuff was
unloaded and carted in wagons
across country to points on the Min
neapolis & st. Louis, and laid down
cheaper than the Minneapolis g. St.
Louis wanted to handle the freight
from Minneapolis. 1t is this kind
OF competition through railroads
controlled in Chicago which has
played the devil with Minneapolis
trade in Southwestern Minnesota,
was the terse way in which the sit
uation was summed up on one oc-
casion.
The Northwestern has fought the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis Omaha ex-
tension with considerable bitter
ness; but there are a good many
other ways of getting even with the
Minneapolis & St. Louis besides
building short line from Pipestone
to MINNEAPOLIS.

Juror AMONG RAILROADS.
The GdZette's Exclusive News on
the Northwestern.

The exclusive story given by
person in authority and published
in THE GAZETTE last week, regarding
; the proposed extension of the North
western railroad from Tracy to
Minneapolis, in order to give this
section short line with those two
towns, has attracted the attention of
railroads and railroad men all over
this section of the State The Min
reapolis Journal S railroad reporter
stated that such line would be
welcomed by the wholesale bust
ness men of that city, but the re-
porter claims that railroad men re-
gard the story as being with little
merit. The Journal says:
Railroad men who look at the
matter from practical standpoint
cannot see anything in these latter
facts to warrant the conclusions
drawn. In the first place, it is very
much questioned whether the North
western is dumping a million ties
at Tracy One million ties are
enough to build 400 miles of rail-
road, and the widest rumors do not
suggest that the Northwestern is to
build that much line Immediately.
And if it were intending such con-
struction it would not gather all the
ties at one point. But that some
new work is contemplated is, of
course, beyond question.
It is we'll known that the party of
officials mentioned has just been at
Fargo and they did not go there
for fun. Nothing would be more
natural, if the Northwestern is con-
templating line at Fargo, than for
the officials to carefully examine the
country from Marshall to Redwood
Falls; for the Fargo line must be an
extension of either the Redwood
branch of the Northwestern, the
Vesta branch; or from some point
on the Tracy Watertown line-pre-
sumably Marshall.
Railroad men base their expecta-
tons Of a Northwestern line into
Fargo on: First, general conditions
among railroads in this section. Sec
ond, upon the general policy of the
Northwestern company as shown by
years of building; and third, on the
recent actions of the road.
Doubt is expressed, however, as
to the use of the line northwest
from Sanborn to Vesta, as a part of
the Fargo line. True, the Vesta
line points directly toward Fargo,
but to continue it directly would
mean the close paralleling for some
distance of the Hastings & Dakota
branch Of the Milwaukee and the
Watertown division of the Mime.

what products of this country the peo-
pie of our new possessions can consume
and what they can furnish to this coun-
try. He said:
1.-The college and university of our day

repasts for everybody but the farmer If
