GIANTS AND DWARFS.
Curious Qunrtette of Prisoners in
the Boer Concentration Camps.

I
the. Boer Concentration Camps.
The ludicrous in life can be found even
amid the horrors of the concentration
camps in South Africa with which Britain
has shocked the civilized world, and
which especially in Germany, have pro-
voked the biting sarcasm of the cartoon
lists.
In the Heidelburg camp in the Trans
vaal there is a quartette of Boer refugees
whose photograph has just appeared in
the Continental press. There are two
giants and two pigmies. who are the best
of friends and are often seen together.
The tallest man of the four is six and
one-half feet in height and weighs 800
pounds. His colossal comrade is only
half inch smaller. but outweighs him. The
two dwarfs are elderly men and respec-
lively are four and three and one-half
feet in size.
The most curious thing about the quar-
tette is that the diminutive members have
each a big wife and large family while,
vice versa, the giants blessed with
frail, petite consorts. Here the old
French proverb, Les extremes Sc touch
ent'' is verified with a vengeance.

ing. On the second floor are to be the
Court of Appeals, the library, the United
States Attorneys Office, and jury rooms
The rotunda should rise the full height
of the two stories, and be crowned by {
dome.
The architecture should be Roman. The
plan and elevation do not show details.
but are merely suggestive of the ideas of
the writer.
The end entrances, as shown in the
plan, will be copied after the main en-
trance. but will be in smaller design and
proportionate to the whole design, and
will be crowned by minor domes, to carry
out consistently the symmetry of the de-
sign. A. G. BUHRMAN,

The Busy Brick Yards.

Everything is lively at the brick
yards at the present time and the yards
are making brick while the sun shines
and the weather is good. Owing to
unfavorable weather the yards will not
quite make the record they figured on
at the opening of the season, when
they thought that they could turn out
i've million brick at each yard, but if
the weather holds out good for few
weeks yet the yards will finish with a
record not far behind these figures.
The Kuhn Bros yards have shut down
for the season, owing to serious break
in the machinery some time ago and
the inability to get sufficient help. The
fuel question has been bothering the
yards some this season. Very little
wood was delivered at the yards last
winter on account of poor hauling and
the yards have been obliged to use
edgings which they are receiving from
Milaca, Nickerson and Foley. The
edgings are as good for firing as the
soft wood, but of course cost some
more. Wood is getting higher each
year and wood that cost 81. 25 and 81. so
few years ago is now worth consider
able more money, and in a few more
years the yards will have to commence
figuring on using oil for fuel, as many
yards throughout the country are do
ing at the present time. If the fuel
supply was only as inexhaustible as the
supply of clay the proposition would be
an easv one.

Sam and Simon.

Sam Fullerton as State game warden
and Simon Mich elet as Indian agent at
White Earth reservation are on the
verge OF war. The game warden says
that Michelet allows his, friends to 90
over Oh the reservation and shoot
chickens and ducks and Sam says that
notwithstanding that as big chief of
the State game and fish commission he
notified the Chippewa agent that he
must observe the game laws of the
commonwealth of Minnesota. still ST.
mon continues to invite his guests over
the line and let them shoot game. Sam
says that he doesn't care how many
Indians they shoot so long as they let
the chickens and ducks and other game
under the ban of the law alone. He
says that the distinguished jurists of
Minneapolis, Judges Simpson and
Steele, and Superintendent Randall of
the State reformatory and DR.. Hoyt of
st. Cloud have been over enjoying
Michelet's hospitality and while there
shot some game and he proposes to
give them the full benefit of the law.
The game warden has got provoked
and threatens to block the wheels of
justice at Minneapolis and the wheels
OF correction at St. Cloud ~ getting
the distinguished visitors in the

that peace will be declared, for should

running so fast that he could not hold

wagon was upset, throwing out Mr..
Klingbeil's little boy and splitting
several cans of milk. The wagon
tongue broke and the team became de-

Pine Tree Cones.

Clarence Wedge, Of the Wedge Nur-
!sery Co. of Albert Lea, MINI. is camp
ing out north Of town with his four
sons. Mr.. Wedge and his sons are
gathering white and jack pine cones
for seed purposes, and for the propaga-
ton OF the pine at the Albert Lea
nursery. He made a trip up into this
country two years ago aud spent some
time here. Mr.. Wedge says that the
young jack pines that he grows on his
nursery are shipped to points in North
Dakota and other western sections
where the hardy jack pine makes a
very good evergreen tree, and seems
to be the only variety that will stand
the climate and thrive. In pine tree
cone there are about forty tiny seeds
none OF which are any larger than the
head OF pin, and they are very light.
The gathering of the cones is not so
very hard, though there is much climb
ing to get them sometimes. In gath
ering the cones of the white pine Mr..
Wedge says that he prefers to get
them from the trees of the southern
edge OF the old pine belt as the trees
are not so large and tall and the cones
are more easily secured. He has been
offering boys fifty cents a bushel to
pick jack pine cones Mr.. Wedge
never fails to study the conditions for
fruit culture in the sections he visits.
and he says that he finds that in sandy
sections like the country in the vicin-
lty OF Princeton that fruit does we'll,
much better than up on the heavy clay
soil. He has noticed that hazel bushes
and wild plums are much more fruitful
on the sandy soil where there is a mix
ture of clay. Mr.. Wedge and his four
sons are hardy pine cone hunters and
all take great Interest in their work,

Sound Advice.

Andrew Carnegie is the sort of man
who ''says things" Consequently his
book, "The Empire of Business,'' is
worth reading. Carnegie attributes
his own success to the fact that ''trou-
bic runs off his back like water from a
duck" A hard worker, a hard thinker
and an optimist in all things, Andrew
Carnegie is man to pattern after.
Optimism comes with drinking golden
grain belt beer. Pure, sparkling and
delicious, this beer is good to have on
hand. You need it every day. Order

Sunday School Picnic.

The Congregational Sunday school
picnic that was held at Green laKe last
Friday was great success. The day
was almost perfect and the weather
was all that could be expected.
The children were transported on a
large hayrack ''limited,' while large
bus carried many of the children and
some of the older people who were not
provided with private rigs, many of
those in attendance going in their own
conveyances. The heavily loaded
lunch baskets were the feature of the
picnic, and the ladies had task in
exposing the contents of the baskets,
and arranging the dinner which was
served under the trees. The little
folks were served first, over seventy
five of them being seated at the long
tables. After the children had been
fed the old folks had dinner and there
were nearly fifty seated at the tables.
When they got through, despite the
abnormal appetites of some, there
was still grub enough left for
supper which was served late in the
afternoon before leaving for home.
Captain Holm took the party around
the lake in the afternoon in the
launch 'Viking." The picnic was
great success, and in the future will
no doubt be one of the seasons fea-
