Captain Wellman Of Frazee
Appointed by World $
Fair Commission.
WILL PREPARE AGRICULTURAL
EXHIBIT For STATE.
The Captain Is Now In Bemidji
Looking Up Grains and
Grasses.

Captain d. L. Wellman Of Fra
zee, Mimi, engaged by the st.
Louis Worlds Fair commission
to gather an agricultural exhibit
from the state of Minnesota for
the big fair, spent WednesdayIat
the experimental farm at Crooks
.ston, and says that he found just
what he was looking for, nice
stock and all kinds of grains.
: The captain spent yesterday and
today in Bemidji. He appeared
enthusiastic over what ne had
seen at Crookston, and the Red
river valley will probably be well
represented at St. Louis next
year.
In an interview with the Daily
Pioneer yesterday, Captain Fra
zee said: II thought that the
timber region in the northern
part of the state should be repre-
,sented, and came over here to
see what you had in the way of
nice grains. Judging from what
I saw back at Carmen the grain
in this northern section will
hardly do to exhibit. The drouth
has affected the growth to a con-
siderable extent, and to take the
grain I saw would not give justice
or good representation Of what
the northern counties will grow.
I would be pleased to receive
from the settlers of Beltrami
and other counties any grains,
grasses or other products of
their fields and gardens that will
do to take to the fair. Should
anyone have nice grain stalks
measuring flVe.of tive and a halt
feetI will place it in the Mime
sofa exhibit if tits sent to me at.
F'razee. 1t should be pulled out
by the roots and tied once around
at the bottom. Then hang it toa
rafter, heads down, so that the
stalks will dry straight and neat.
Later it can be sent to me in a
suitable box and | will prepare it
for the fair this winter. Further
particulars can be obtained from
g. L. Smith or Judge Reynolds,
whoare interested in the exhibit. .
Evening Wisconsin: It will
be a compliment, after this, to

mored that Sir Thomas Upton

Crving Need of the nay.

Money" said the philosopher,
thoughtfully, lis made in cheap things.
Trines have laid the foundations for
most of the great fortunes OF to-day.
Young men who want to get rich should
remember that There is always a field
for the resourceful man who will consent
to give his attention TO something short
Of the gigantic undertakings of the
time. A patent corkscrew retailing for
a dime has made more than fortune"
Possibly" suggested the ambitious
youth, you can tell me of some triaing
need of the public which will give wealth
TO the man who fills it,
Easily" returned the philosopher.
Gust at this time the greatest need OF
the greatest number appears to be a
suitable Christmas present for young
lady that will cost not to exceed s11S
and that will look as if its purchase had
left little out of 800 bill Chicago

THOSE CHRISTMAS CIGARS.
OF Course Nobody Takes stock In the
Old Joke. Hat Martindaie
Didn't smoke.

These Christmas jokes are simply
silly" said Tomlinson.
Sure" said Martindale, as he
trudged along with Tomlinson down TO
the depot to catch the 7:55% train from
North Dale View Why don't those
alleged funny men get something new
and something really funny?"
Give 1t up, said Tomlinson. Now
the most venerable joke of all and one
that is worn threadbare is that old chest
nut about the kind of cigars that wife
is supposed TO buy for her husband at
Christmas time"
Yes; that's the most absurd Of the
whole lot" asserted Martindale. "Of
course. a woman is no judge of tobacco,
but she can easily find out--in fact, she
knows. anyhow-the kind of cigars her
husband smokes. and she gets the same
brand. Yet every Christmas there's
yards of CUFF in the funny columns, So
called. about a wife giving cigars to her
husband and about his dying in horri-
bic agony after smoking them 1t sim
ply disgusts me"
Me, too, said Tomlinson. Now,
here. this is a cigar out of the box that
my wife gave me for Christmas. don't
remember the name of the thing. sort
of queer name. but my wife knows a
thing or two. want you TO smoke that
cigar and tell me whether it isn't as
good as any that you or buy.
why" asked Martindale what do
you think of it yourself?"
"Ah. we'll, I'm not such a good judge
as you are, don't you see would rather
have your opinion first"
Sorry old man" said Martindale,
hastily, as he slid for the train But
Pm going to give up smoking New
Years, you see. and i sort Of want to get
in training, you know; so guess I'll
quit now Chicago Tribune.

ORIGIN or cHRIsrMAs TREE.
tho Ancientn and l. Older
Than History.

Most of us know that the Christmas
tree comes to US direct from Germany
And we know of the worship of the
Drulds which obtained in England and
France, and which probably had some
influence Oh the later use of the tree in
the Christian festival But we do not
all know that a similar festival with the
tree as a browning feature is observed
among many heather nations, and thai
il comes from worship, which Is
older than history. The revival Of the
sun after the winter solstice has eyer
been the subject of rejoicing and ofce,e-
bration by ceremonies which represent
the new light brought back to the world.
Our tree, with its small candles its
giided knlcknacks and toys for the
children, is a direct descendant of this
old festival in honor of the sun.
Traces of it exist in Iceland. where the
service tree" is found adorned with
burning lights during Christmas night.
The English yule-log is faint survival
of this festival But II is beyond these
that wish to draw your attention, back
further even than the Druid mysteries
of the Gallo forests. 1t is to China,
that home of all wonders and of all his
tory. II mas been shown that as long
ago as 247 B. c. a tree with hundred
lamps and flowers was placed on the
steps of the audience-hall. This appears
again in the records Of Princess YANG,
who lived 713-755 A. D., and who caused
a hundred-lamp tree so feet high to be
erected on a mountain. 1t was lighted
during New Years night, and the IL
Elimination was seen for hundreds of
miles. eclipsing the light of the moon.
This candle-tree is no longer lighted in
China, being replaced by an unusual
number of lanterns, which are hung
everywhere. A suggestion of the tree,
however, still survives in Japan. AT
the New Year two evergreen trees are
placed without, on either side of the
door Their tops are tied together with
the sacred band of straw and various
objects. dried Holsters and oranges are
fastened to their branches. Stewart
