The Redwood Falls fire depart
ment will be benefited, along with
the FIRE departments of the remand
err Of the State, in a bill which has
just passed the legislature, giving
the two per cent. insurance com
pany tax to the fire departments
of the State. Heretofore only one
per cent. of the amounts has gone
to the departments. Now, practi-
cally all of it will go to them. The
bill was championed in the senate
by Senator Brewer and in the house
by w. A. Nolan, and when the SEN

ABOUT PEDOLERS' ROASTERS
Where the Chestnut and Peanut Dea'.
Crs Get Their Ovens.


SO many are the corner stands where
roasted chestnuts, peanuts and other
dantics are sold that. small indus

with their equipments. The shnp.est
ana cheapest is the chestnut roa ter.
h.ch is manufactured by the gross.
Only two varieties are in demand. zone
of which sells for 10 cents and the
o,her for 81.
The business was formerly mon po-
lized by Italians, but in the last five
years Russian Hebrews, Greeks and
Levantines have taken up the calling.
Peanut roastcrs are in larger demand
than any other. The r,a ,on is not
far to seek. The peanut is in fashion
the year through, while the chestnut
is found in the market only in the
autumn and carly winter The pea
nut business is very profitable and has
melted progressive deal rs to consider
cradle extravaganza in Their equip
ment.
This is illustrated in the rooster, Of
which more than fifty varieties are
now obta Unable. The simplest are like
the chestnut rooster and bring -~om
S to 81 apiece. The dearest are ~uite
complicated mechanisms. They have
Il small and nicely finished engine
which rOtates the roasting cylinder
and which often keeps advertising fig
ules in constant motion. 1t has a
glass exhibition case and a receptacle
lined with non-cOnducting material
in which the freshly roasted nuts will
keep their heat for several hours.
Some of these mechanisms bring as
much as 500, and one which was made
for use in county fairs a year ago
cost over 500.
The small furnace with which sau-
sage men broil their savory wares is
about as cheap as the peanut rooster.
The broilers and other apparatus
which are used by darby peddlers in
summer for the hot-corn business are
usually borrowed from the laundries
Of their wives. A few, however, are
made to order, and bring from ST. up

The New York Post. 1t is manufact-
ured in several sizes. the smallest cost

amount Formerly there was a de-
mand for popcorn peddlers. 1t has
died away. owing to the fact that corn
will not pop as well in the open air
over a small fire as 1t does in a large
factory.

REALLY FINE PANAMAS.
Hats that Can he Entirely Hidden in
the Closed Hand.

The fashion for Panama hats of the
last two or three years has made peo-
pie commonly acquainted with the fact
that the hats are not made in Pana
ma, that the term Panama hat is only
trade name, and that the best of
these hats come from Jipijapa, in
Ecuador says the New York Sun.
But there are other interesting things
not generally known about Panama
hats.
Thus Senior Franco, who was a can
didate for president at the last cleo
ton in Ecuador had presented to him
not long ago by his friends a hat said
to be the finest of its kind in the
world. 1t is to be on exhibition at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair with other
products of Ecuador.
The whole hat, says the owners
son, who is at Columbia University,
can be pressed so small that it can be
hidden entirely in the closed hand.
When the hand is opened the hat will
spring back into perfect shape just
as if it had never been touched save
In the most careful manner.
In its making particular care was
used because Of the great desire of
Senior Frances friends to give him n
hat that had no equal. 1t is very rare
that hat such as Senior Frances Is
seen in the United States and when
one is brought here it is not in reg
ular shipment meant to be sold, but
In the possession of some man who
has just visited Ecuador or who has
received it as a gift from a native of
the country.
E.rnesto Franco, the Columbia stu
dent, has one which, though not so
fine as his fathers is of a quality not
to be bought in this country. 1t came
to him by way of the minister in
Washington, enclosed in little cylin-
drcal box no more than an inch in
diameter.
When his fraternity mates at Column
bia were told that there was hat
in the long box they refused to believe
1t. But when the box, looking Just
