A wife can be too good to please her
husband, according to a writer who tells
the following stories to prove it: / knew
a man who fell into a rage, which I
should be glad if l could truthfully de-
scribe as ''speechlesS," not so much be-
cause he lost his collar button at a
critical moment, but because his Wife
told him he should rise superior to tri-
fling annoyances. He did not want to rise
superior to them. He wanted to bank
around in hallmark believe temper I'M
til he found the elusive collar button.
and then go out to meet and master
some big and important thing without a
word or whisper But the tone Of the re-
proach Inundated him and sent him out
a sullen and miserable man, ready to
confide in the pretty ear of his typewrit-
er that he was misunderstood and unap-
preciated at home.

NEW THEORY ON
Cause of Hay Fever

Hay fever is not so much a result of
climatic conditions as it is a showing of
the weak spot in the general condition
be fed up to a prime condition of health
by the use of well selected food the
chances are the hay fever will not pre-
sent itself
AS an illustration, lady in Cave
Springs, Ga, explains how the change Of
food affected her. THE past summer /
found myself in a very low state of
health and much emaciated. l got down
to 95 pounds and was worried,-especially
as I had to look forward to my annual
tussle with hay fever in September. and
felt it would push me even further down.
One day a friend told me she had been
using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food ard
that she felt like a new person with
greatly increased strength and vigor |
grasped at the straw and began the use
of Grape-Nuts. The effect was really
magical In a week I felt toned up and
in a month began in earnest to gain flesh
and strength. By September my weight
had increased to no pounds, and much to
my amazement l discovered that when
the hay fever sufferers began TO complain
| had not one symptom and escaped it
altogether. Inasmuch as 1 had suffered
for years from this miserable disease
and had made no change except in my
food, I n; turally concluded that my i'm
proved condition was caused by the dailv
use of Grape-Nuts and by observing the
usual laws of health" Name can be Civ

In the organization of the Northern
Display Advertising company, which was
consummated yesterday, occurred one of
the most extensive consultations of adj
Vertising interests in this country. The
new company will concentrate under one
management the L. n. Scott Bill Posting
company, of st. Paul; the Breslauer Bill
Posting company, of Minneapolis; the
George ]. Sherer Sign company, of Min
neapolis, and the Minnesota Advertising
company, whose field of operation has
been the Twin Cities and the entire state
of Minnesota. Negotiations to this end
have been going on for three months or
more, but it was not until yesterday that
an arrangement agreeable to all of the
component companies could be reached
The incorporators of the new company
are l.. N. Scott, Of st. Paul; H. Bres-
lauer, George J. Sherer, Robert G. dof-
mann and N H. McAlhster, all of Min

tied the morgue yesterday afternoon, and
identified the remains Of the unknown
woman killed on the Burlington tracks,
as Mary Dahl, a domestic who worked
for a Mrs. Welsh, on Edmund street.
He was positive that this was the girl,
claiming to have boarded at the house
where she worked.
The directory gives a Mary Dahl, a do
mestic, at $50 Edmund street, but a
G e representative was informed last
night that she had left this place three
months ago, and had moved over the
Capital saloon, Central and Wabasha.
Admittance was refused at this place,
the only information that was given out
was that Mary Dahl was not there
The man who identified the remains
promised that he would bring Mrs.
Welsh to give proof to his assertion. He
left the morgue at 5 o'clock, and I'M
til midnight had not returned
Residents of Edmund street in the vi
entity of where Mary Dahl worked said
last night that the description given of
the dead girl did not tally with hers
She was heavier and had black hair.
None of them ever remembered seeing
her with the clothes that are in the
morgue.
Ahotner man who was positive in his
identification was G. R Mclean, living
at $50 Central avenue, Minneapolis, who
says the dead girl was Martha Ambu-
son, and that while he was employed as
foreman of the Glover farm, at Glover,
N. D., about three years ago, she worked
there as a domestic. Mr.. Mclean said he
understood the Ambuson girl had left the
farm about six months ago and had not
been seen since that time.

JURY'S VERDICT STANDS.
Peter Bruhn Receivers $4,000 From
A. Guthrie & Co.


Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday in
Inc case OF Peter Brohn against A. Guth-

pany OF Minnesota, in which he denies
the motion of the defendant, A. Guthrie
Co.. for new trial on the grounl
tndI the damages were excessive that
me me VeTGlct was not justified by the evil
dence and that there were errors of law
in the trial u -0"
The suit is based upon an accident

tram IN the use of Guthrie & Co., in the
construction of the So-called Fosston ex-
tension of the Eastern Railway Of Mime
sofa was derailed at point near re.

the entire construction and had sublet

a tracklayer

DEMAND FOR HORSES
1T IS BETTER THAN 1T HAS BEEN
FOR THE PAST TEN
YEARS
PRICES ARE ALSO HIGHER
Immense Export Trade and Demand
for Horses in south Africa Has
Resulted in These
Conditions.

The dairy and food department has re-
ceived the advance sheets of a report Of
the department of agriculture on the
present condition Of the American horse
market The report, among other things,
asserts that the horse market is on
much firmer basis now than it was in
the years from 1898 to 1897. Prices are
higher and the competition among buy
ers is keen. There is a pronounced
scarcity Of animals of the better grades,
especially among light horses. Dealers
cannot satisfy the demands for hgh-class
roadsters, coach horses and saddlers AS
a result of this scarcity of animals, many
large firms have sent agents abroad into
the country districts of many states to
take advantage Of the natural differences
between the farm and the market prices.
These agents have worked to a consd-
cradle extent in Minnesota, but not with
any great success. The Minnesota
farmer has been warned not to be in too
great haste to dispose of his valuable
horse flesh.
The change from a condition of over
production and panic prices to one Of
scarcity and strong prices is a feature
Of the market new within the last five
years.
The report, speaking Of the reasons for
these conditions, finds that the recent de-
preston of lie horse business began
e@DoNt 1SJV Up 10 IudI time immense
numbers of animals were in demand for
street car use. This trade absorbed very
many horses that had always constituted
the majority on the market The intro
ductiOn Of the cable car and the sweep
ing substitution of the electric for horse
cars in all large cities threw immense
numbers of horses on the market The
panic. Of 1888 seriously affected the horse
market forcing men out Of business and
decreasing production. On the heels Of
the panic came the bicycle, the electric
carriage and the automobile. The causes
for the present scarcity Of horses are
mentioned as being chiefly the decline of
horse breeding and greatly increased
export trade. The worlds fair of 1898 is
said to have started a new era in the
export of American horses Inc foreign
demand became very great and the pro-
Queer began to meet the demand at a
good profit The growth of exports has
been immense since 1893. In seven years
It has increased fifteen times
The report gives the following statistics
Of horse exports for eleven years: 1880,
$500; 1891, 3,110; 1892, 1926; 1893, 2G67; 1894,
624G; 1885, 1884; 1896, Is, 1876; 1887, SO, 1872;
1898, 5l,150; 1899, 45,77S; 1900, 64722; 1901

The big increase last year was caused
by the shipments to South Africa. In
