Billies. n
II one takes up one of the cut off
timber tracts in northern Minnesota
and Wisconsin, it will take about Is
years to convert it into a good farm.
The pine stumps rot very slowly. Be-
ing an excellent grass country. the
clovers and timothy doing exceedingly
well, the clearing of the land with
stock is a comparatively easy matter if
a man is only willing to wait.
We came across a discontinued and
f~ault-finding farmer the other day. the
first we have met for nearly three
years. 1t seems that his oats got wet
and damaged in the shock, the frost
caught 20 acres of his corn and some of
his potatoes rotted. He Just could not
think of any of the blessings-only Just
these temporary losses. He had very
much to be thankful for. His credit
was gilt edged, he had good health, his
stock liked the soft corn, he had two
crops of hay instead of one, his farm
had doubled in value during five years,
he had plenty to eat and a comfortable
home. 1t is so much better to think
OF ones blessings rather than of ones
misfortunes. No one wants to go
through life tolling a bell or playing
jeremiah. The bright, good world we
live in has no place for this sort Of
thing. Look on the bright side and
keep a stiff upper lip" should have been
made a part of the sermon on the
mount.
We are surprised that in connection
with the present craze for land there Is
Tot more attention being paid to the
productive South. There are great pos
silbilities connected with the tablelands
OF the Cumberland mountains in Ten
nessee, with many sections of Arkan-
sas and the other Southern states.
While the soil is not as fertile as that
OF the prairies of the West, there is
muc compensation in the certain rain
fall and the mildness and salubrity of
the climate, which so greatly extends
the farmers working season. We look
to see more attention paid to these
Southern lands in the future.
Don't burn the leaves in the fall.
Never mind the litter. The snow will
o cover them up. If you let them
alone, the winds will whirl them I'D
around the shrubs and plants and thus
furnish the incest sort of a winter pro-
lection. And. come to think of it, we
would not burn them even in the
spring, for they make the very best
mulching material to be had. Rake
them up and put them under the cur
rant and berry bushes, where they will
finally decay and form a rich leaf mold.
Leaves were never made to be burned.
Unless we miss our guess the farm
ers of the country are shortly going to
find themselves up against two tough
propositions-the meat trust and the
farm machinery trust. These benevo-
lent institutions are not doing business
for their health by a long shot. We
look to see these two trusts kick up a
bigger row than all the others put to-
gether.

Some of the work of the agricultural
department at Washington reads al
most like a romance. From three tiny
trees of the naval or seedless orange
imported from Brazil some years ago,
only II of which made a live of it,
has developed the enormous orange in
dustry of the Pacific coast, amounting
to 10000 carloads of fruit this year,
mostly navels. These trees were threat
ened by a parasite five years ago for
which there seemed no remedy till a
few ladybugs were imported from Aus
tralia and turned into the orange orch
ards, where they soon multiplied and
made short work of the parasite. Then
the San Jose scale, proof against any
form of spraying, threatens not only
the fruit trees, but forest trees as we'll,
and a scientist goes into far north
China, where the white man has but
rarely set foot, and there finds the
scale held in subsection by another
kind of ladybug, which he carefully
collects and ships, but fourteen of them
reaching the department at Washing
ton in safety, and now the department
is prepared to furnish any quantity of
these bugs to any locality affected with
the San Jose scale.

LAID LOW BY DRINK
CHARLES HOLZHOWER, A LUMBER
JACK, DIES SUDDENLY AT
CITY HOSPITAL
JUST RETURNED FROM CAMP
Has No Relatives In This Country
Autopsy Reveals Traces of Ir-
ritant in stomach and
Intestines

Charles Holzhower, a lumberjack and
farmer, died at the city hospital at 12:45
p. m. yesterday, an hour after he had
been brought to the institution from the
Capitol hotel, 43812 Wabasha street, Coro-
ner A. W. Miller was notified. and an
autopsy was performed on the body by Dr.
Rothrcck yesterday afternoon The au-
topsy showed that death had undoubte edly
been due to kidney trouble, and a compli-
cation of stomach trouble, brought about
by heavy drinking.
Holzhower was identified by a man
named Mike Fritz, stopping at the Yukon
MOTEL, who says that the deceased worked
in the same lumber camp that he did,
and that he saw him about two weeks
ago. According to Fritz, Holzhower was
born in Wurtenburg, Germany, and was
about forty-tWo years old. He owned a
forty-acre farm at Little Falls, which
was rented out, and he made his home
with a Mr.. Spegler, who runs hotel at
Inver Grove during the summer, and dur
ing winter he worked in the lumber
camps. He had no relatives in this coun-
try and came from Germany, where his
folks were still living a few years ago.
HolZhoWer roomed with Mr.. Speigler last
year, and when he left there last Octo-
ber to go to the woods he left his trunk
and some papers with him. He worked
in James Sutton's lumber camp at Ker-
rick, Mimi, and came to ST. Paul about
four days ago. He went to the Capitol
hotel and appeared to be sickly. Friday
he became so bad that DR.. Lando was
called, and shortly before noon yesterday
he was sent to the city hospital, where
he died an hour later. Holzhower Is sup
posed to have had considerable money on
him when he arrived in st. Paul, but a
search of the body yesterday only reveal
ed $2.10 in cash. The funeral arrange
ments have not been made yet.

new uniform state certificate law, which
created a scarcity of first grade teachers
and forced out of the teaching profession
many of those untitled to teach. The re-
suit has been a steady demand for good
teachers, and at the present time there is
a lack of first grade teachers in almost
every county of the state. The result IS
that good teachers have been able to say
something themselves as to what wages
they would receive. These figures bear
cut all the claims made by those who ad
vocated the new examination law.
The total number of teachers in the
state is largely increased also. In 1896
there were Z, ,731 teachers; in 1897, 1913; in
1S98 1918; in 1892 $780, in 1900, 1875 and
in 1901. 11.129
The high school enrolment shows also
the largest single years increase for the
past ten years. In 1896 the total high
school enrolment of the state was 1882;
in 1897 it was 11,03S; in 1898, IL 5O3 in
1899, 12,436, and in 1901, 1928.

braries of the state, and of the number
and value Of new school houses built last
year, have already been published in
T h e G / 0 b e.
Great as has been the increase of sal.
aries and general prosperity Of the
schools, as shown in the report for the
year 1901, it is the general opinion of
county superintendents that their reports
for the year 1902, which will soon be re-
celVed by the state department, will show
an even larger percentage Of increase in
attendance, and in wages.

MUSICALE IS A SUCCESS.
Ladies' Day at Commercial Club
Drew Large Crowd.

Drew Large Crowd.
The ladies' musicale held at the Com
mercial club yesterday was well attended
by the members of the club and their
ladies. The innovation was begun some
weeks ago with the understanding that if
it was not generally patronized by the
members and their friends that it would
be discontinued. Yesterday, irrespective
of all other Saturdays was sufficient to
demonstrate to the entertainment COM
mittee of the club hat the musicale was a
feature that could not be dispensed with.
Roy La Pine, the boy soprano, was the
feature yesterday, and the announcement
of his engagement for the afternoon filed
the main parlors of the club with lovers
of the intangible art, and they were amply
repaid for their attendance. There is all
ways something about a boy soprano that
appeals to those who love music for
music, and not for the corporality of the
sensation it may bring. The clear pas
sonless voice of the boy, reaching each
note faultlessly and clearly. and in a
manner that denotes nothing of the con-
servatory or stage, always causes a feel
ing of aesthetic pleasure, fuxed of all
worldlinesS.
