long looked for game but contrary
to their OK pectations they were
compelled to 90 home with an empty
game sack. There were all sorts OF
balls played yesterday afternoon
and the same'was one Of the most
exciting played here this season.
The Mudhens won their merits.
The game was chiefly notable for
the resaon that it afforded "Waltie"

portunity to make his Introductory

The result is to leave the pores and

SOUTHERN TEMPERANCE SEN
TIMENT. -.

In many cases and, probably in q
great majority, Northern man is
surprised when told by a man from
the South that the sentiment in
opposition to the liquor traffic is
more intense south of Mason and
Dixon's line than it is on the north
ern side of that boundary. y
An expression credited to visit.
ing preacher who is a native of
Tennessee illustrates the character
of Southern sentiment on his sub
ject. He remarked that. in his
opinion all saloonkeepers we're
scoundrels. No man could express
this setinment unless with him the
question involved in the liquor
traffic is distinctly moral as dis
tinguished from social or economic.
It is because tile temperance
question is a moral question that
the feeling in the South is so in
tense, and possibly for this reason
also the Southern attitude attracts
less attention than it would if with
Southern people the liquor traffic
we're more an economic issue and
invoked therefore more public dis
cussjon.
There are fewer saloons to the
populaticn in Alabama than in pro-
hibition Maine. Men who frequent
saloons are subjected to moro severe
social ostracism in the South than
anywhere in the North with the
possible exception Of. some of the
New England States. This is one Of
the facts that seem to be hidden
from people whom haye never lived
in the South. A Southern man may
keep liquor in his home and offer it
to guests though there is much less
of this than many persons suppose
and yet he may abhor the liquor
bartholomew Republican.

important South American Line.

The railway across the Andes, be-
tween Chile and the Argentine Repub'
tic, which was projected twenty years
ago, is at last to be completed, the
Chilean Congress having recently
passed the bill for the purpose. The
Hottest part of the pass, which lies
not far south of the great Andean
giant, Aconcagua, and which has an
elevation of $4,000 feet, is to be pene"
trated by tunnel, which will serve
both to avoid snowdrifts and to de-
crease the maximum elevation OF tho
road. The terminals Of the railway
on each side of the pass are how with
in one days travel by mule caravan
from one another. This will be the
first rail line across the South Amer1-
san continent.

"A LITTLE FARM WELL TILL
Ed"

The Nashville American describes
a fourishlpg Badger State establish
ment as an example of what might
be done upon small farms in the
state of Tennessee. 1t says: A re-
cent visit to Wisconsin dairy farm
disclosed thrifty tenant who was
diversifying dairy farming with
profitable by products. From six
teen square rods of Strawberries
he had supplied his table with this
healthful luxury, the mistress had
put up several gallons of the fruit,
besides selling to the neighbors
berries to the amount OF $40. There
were plenty of poultry on the place
chickens, turkeys and ducks-and
the table was bountifully supplied
with fresh eggs. The milk was de-
ilvered to a nearby creamery, and
the sweet skim milk fed to calves,
poultry and pigs. There were
young foals on the farm that will
mature to take the place of present
farm horses when they become
superannuated, or else develop into
articles of commerce, to increase
the revenue from the farm.
That there are some instances in
Tennessee of making much of little,
the American demonstrates by toll
ing of farmer in that state who
has raised $4,000 worth Of tomatoes
on four acres. Wisconsin people,
who have been eating Tennessee
tomatoes for a fortnight past, have
possibly contributed to his income.
OF course, the smallest tracts from
which large returns are ecured by
means of agriculture are usually
situated near large cities, and are
not farms in the wider sense, but
market gardens. Onions, lettuce,
celery and other crops of that kind
have been sourc es of considerable
revenue to sgriculturists in the
vicinity of Milwaukee, and those
who have practised the highest cuti-
walton have secured the largest pro-
fits. There are indeed great posi-
bilities in "a little farm, well till
ed. "

MADE RICH HAUL.
Grafters with Sells-Downs
circus worked the st. Cloud people.
The grafters with the Sells Down
circus made a rich haul when they
appeared in St. Cloud last Tueday.
1t does seem strange in these day,
that after all the warning given
people will allow themselves to be
worked and caught by clever
grafters. The Journal-Press of St.
Cloud gives the following a ccount
of how they tleeced one old man
out Of $500:
"Geo. p. Sovereign, one Of the
Oldest and most respected residents
of East st. Cloud is $500 poorer by
reason of the coming of the circus
TO St. Cloud Tuesday. Mr.. Sovereign
was in one of the sideshows in the
afternoon where fakir was selling
electric belts. Being nearly 80 year
old and infrm, Mr.. Sovereign con-
eluded to invest in a belt. He Offer
ed the money. but the fakir of course
was not in any legitimate business
and made him throw for belt.
There was lottery involved in the
scheme and Mr.. Sovereign, looking
like man of means, was told that his
number had drawn $500. A fellow
who stood next to him in the crowd
and who gave his name as Hartman
and said he was connected with the
st. Cloud postofice elso drew $500,
but the fakir insisted that each
show that he had $500 before turn
ing over the money to them. The
'capper Immediately displayed q roll
of bills aggregating $500 and was
given his money, and Mr.. Sovereign
proceeded to get busy. He went to
his home only a few blocks distant
from the circus grounds and return
ed with his bank, books, showing q
balance to his credit.
Hey asked for the money on his
showing but the circus man pro-
tested that the bank book was not
the best evidence of money in the
bank, and told Mr.. Sovereign that
if he would go to the bank and get
$500 in gold and return to the tent
alone he would be paid over the
he had won IN the game.
Foolishly enough the old gentle
man followed his advice, going to
the First National bank and draw
ing his check for $500. He return.
ed to the tent with his gold and upon
showing it the fakir jumped from
his stand, grabbed the money and
disappeared through a convenient
opening in the tent. Mr.. Sovereign
notified the police but he nor they
could not find the man who had so
swindled him. His
family feels that their father was
practically hypnotized by the show
man, and while there has been some
talk of following the circus and
an effort to recover the
nothing has yet been done.
Mr.. Sovereign is sure he could
identify the man who took his
He is described as short,
thickset fellow with hair tinged
with gray
Two other men were relieved of
in sums of SO and SIS each
in similar manner. We trust if
the Sells Downs circus comes out
this way the people will look out for
these grafters and not permit them
to get in their work as they did in
St. Cloud.
