AN ABSENT.MINDED MAN.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:

Mark Andrews cabin is deserted.
The hewn-log door is open and the
drifting snow has made a carpet for
the floor. The birds dart In and OUT
through the broken window, and rab-
bits play tag within the room. The
wind sings UP the rusty stovepipe, and
yellow icicles sink downward from
the roof. The household goods are
all there, the cooking utensils, pro-
visions, 'the cracker box table, The
three-legged stool and the dirty blank
cts on the bunk. But the owner is
gone, and solicitude has filed it's lien.
Andrews will never return, says Cit
Foot Pete.
ssYou will find ali the settlers giving
Andrews a black eye. They Just slop
over when they cit to knocking him.
But I'm here to tell you that they
never understood the man. His heart
is all right, buu his head is full of
knots. He's what the world calls abb
sent-mlnded-that's all. Qneerest man
that way ever saw.
.sSome say he's a drunkard, butihe
amt. He would get inside a booze
joint and start to setting 'em up, then
forget to go home. I've seen him
wake up several days after and feel
awful hurt To find he'd been drinking.
1t was big surprise to him. s
''He struck Big Bill Swar with IAN
axe once, cutting him open, bad. But
Mark tole me afterwards that he
never meant to--used to work iii a
barber shop, and thought he was
brushing Bills coat with a buster
and not an axe.
He was rested for cutting timber
on government land. He tole the
Judge he was absent-lninded and
walked off his own land onto the gov.
ernment's without knowing it. Their
judge wouldn't b'lieye it, though.
sand now he's wandered off agin.
Tt looks bad, too, for the settlers say
he's run off with Jim Curnmon' s wife.
But don't think he meant it--iust
thought she was his own wife. And
I'm dead sure Mark will feel real bad
when he wakes up and finds he's got
wife that don't belong to him. =

The Crookston Times is urging
r. A. Wilkinson, the democratic
lawyer Of that city, to get into
the fight for the nomination on
the ticket for congressman in the
new Ninth district. It is well
written, that he is one of the
ablest lawyers in the district,
solid and enduring in his meth
|ods; and, aside from his temper
larry alteration on the silver
|questiep, from which he has now
almost recovered, he has also
evinced such depth Of wisdom in
agricultural affairs that he has
become the foremost advocate in
the Red River Valley Of the ex-
tensive system Of farming and of
thoroughbred stock.raising. He
lis said to be able to keep more
bulls to the acre on his farm
near Crookston than any other
stock-raiser in Minnesota. OF
course he will wonder what his
silver views have to do with agri-
culture, but that is to be ex-
pected. Time was when the free.
silver advocate looked for his
disciples among the farmers OF

We have received q pamphlet
entitled 1.-THE Octopus, written
by Representative Washburn Of
the Forty-frst district It deals
with the consolidation Of the
Northern Pacific and Great
Northern in a tone to make the
hair of the trusts to stand on
end. It is the most thrilling
story we have read since we
shuddered through Caesars
Column. " The following para
graph shows the prevailing senti-
ment Of the book: ssDo the mil
lions of plain people who have
carved this great empire out
from the primeyal forest and the
boundless plains propose that
they shall be made the spoil Of
these who toll not, neither spin,
but swell fat with the blood Of
common men?'' This may be
good republican doctrine, judging
from similar hooting in the state
press, but, nevertheless, it was
stolen from the scrapbook Of W.

The woman's page is a compare
lively recent feature in the newspaper
field, but the comparison Of a woman's
page OF today with that of lew years
back makes one wonder how it ever
lived to outgroW its sWaddling clothes,
for the back numbers look as If the
horse editor had made it up in his
spare time, and it was about as inter-
esting as patent medicine circular,
and some papers still retain this anti
quated form of effort and misname it.
The woman's page of today, to take
the Pioneer Press for example, is
about as lively piece of journalism
as can be imagined. They maintain
a special corps of women writer's and
editors who are in touch with the
women of the northwest, and are
amply qualified to pass on the events
Of interest to them, The special arti-
cles are prepared by experts who are
an authority In their line. Club news,
civic Improvement societies, and all
the various town topics Of this char
acter come In for their full share Of
attention. A careful pernsal Of a few
numbers would surprise anybody as
to the amount of really helpful natter
contained therein. All this is in addi-
tion to the regular fashion articles
and society news, which departments
are maintained separately.

THERE ARE OTHER TYRANTS.
NyHE Minneapolis Times is
doing a lot Of magnificent

chief and ssthe devil take the
hindmost. " Time was when the
Times was capable of something
more than love Of revenge. But
its mad assaults upon james ].
Hill are now apparently too per
sonal to reach the end sought.
AS between Mr.. Hartman and
Mr.. Hill it is a small matter for
the people Of Minnesota to choose
the man who has lived with them
and is Of them. And as between
Mr.. Hill and q Berlin syndicate,
Minnesota would be crazy did
she not choose that the dividends
of the Northern Pacific should
be paid to an American rather
than to an European. And as to
whether the freights from New
York to the Pacific seaboard
shall be carried via Arizona or
via Montana, the people Of Mime
sofa can have but one choice.
The Times carries it's rate
arguments to an extraordinary
height. 1t openly compares rates
from New York to Seattle with
rates from Minneapolis to Sc
attic, well knowing that from
New York there are half a dozen
lines and the great lakes and the
ocean highways in competition
with the northwestern railways,
and that the losses on that
through business must be made
between the Twin Cities and
the western coast Why make
up their losses? we hear the
Times ask. Why make up the
losses Of the Minneapolis millers
in the European market by charg
ing high prices at Minneapolis
and st. Paul and Chicago?

AL well--all happy--lots
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones. T.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul,
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

AFRAID OF THE NEW LAW.
One Hundred Joint-Keepers Of Kansas
City, Kan, May Voluntarily Close to
Avoid Certain Prosecution.

Kansas City, Kan, March 5.-There
is strong talk among the 100 joint
keepers of voluntarily closing their
places because Of the recent outbreak
of temperance agitation and the pas
sage of the new law by the Kansas
legislature providing for the issuance
of search and seizure warrants against
places where liquor is known to be
sold. The new law provides that
government stamp or license, the
presence of liquor or bar and bar
fixtures shall be prima facie evidence
of guilt and sufficient to convict. The
law is the most stringent ever put on
the statute books, and if it holds it
will be practically impossible for a
joint to run in a community where
there is one person opposed to joints.

the murder Of Ruth Nollard, on West
Ninth street Saturday afternoon, that
Taylor be held on a charge of murder
in the first degree. BUD Taylor did
not testify. The crowd about the
court house was so large, the looks of

so threatening that Taylor's attorney,
Frank Gordon, refused to have him
taken from his cell in the well-guarded
Jail.
Had it not been for William Keats,
his cellmate, Bud Taylor would
probably now be dead. He attempted
to commit suicide this morning at

cell with one of the ropes placed in all
the cells for prisoners to hang their
clothes on.
