Found His "FOlkS.'

Joel Chandler Harris recently told
friends Of the experience of an old
southern darky who went to Philadel-
phia where he thought he might better
his fortune
After a week of walking up and
down the old chap found himself
forced to solicit charity. This he did
by going from house to house.
''Ef you please' he would begin
when his ring had been answered
"give POI culud man some work to
do or sumthin' to eat. )"
The reply was invariably: every
sorry but we have nothing for you. y
Finally the old man rang the bell
of prosperous-looking house and a
man, evidently the master thereof,
came to the door.
"Boss" appealed the aged darkey
"I'se starvin'; can't yo' give me some
vittles?"
At this the man at the door gave
evidence OF great rage. "YOu darn
black kinky-haired rascal" shouted
he. Chow dare you ring the bell at
my front door? Go in at the back,
and the cook will give you something
you dingy-faced-''
But here the old darky interrupted
the man by falling on his knees and
exclaiming in heartfelt tones:
"Thank Gawd, Use foun' my own
people at las! Thank Gawd, I done
foun' my own white folks!" -Cleve.

PASSING OF THE HOME.
Gloomy View of the Development of Mod
ern City Life.

oAooAhS VIC" VI Gho DcVeIOpul0nC OF MOO
ern City Life.
The passing Of the home is the
saddest phenomenon of modern city
life. The tenement house-which we
seek to disguise under the name Of
" flat"-is a most wretched substitute
for the humblest of homes. That our
people endure them is an indication
OF degeneracy, as it will unquestion-
ably be the cause Of a more rapid
descent. It is morally certain that
the vigOr of the race can be main
tanned only by personal contact with
the mother earth from which we
sprang, which nourishes and sustains
US while we live and which receives US
to her bosom when we die. Why this
is perhaps no one knows, but it is
within the knowledge Of all that the
vigor of the city is constantly re-
cruited from country life. To deprive
children of daily contact with the soil
is a sin.
The evil of the tenement house was
not realized until it passed from the
slums, because few of US know how the
other half lives. It is perhaps not so
desperate misfortune to those who
live by manual labor, for they get
their contact with earth in other
ways, and their children, less vexed
by the conventions of society, and
access to the soil by some means and
pass, while still young, to the occupa-
tions of their parents. The most
terrible effect of the tenement house
is in the families of the ''salaried,
class as distinguished from the
"wage-earners, and who fit from
fiat to fiat, seldom remaining long
enough anywhere for home associa-
tions to be formed. There can per-
haps be no home associations worthy
of the name which are not connected
with piece of open ground in the
sole possession of the family. It
would seem that in our largest cities
this privilege can no longer be en-
joyed except by the rich. Fran

THE WILD PEA.

It's Value in Protein as Compared with
Other Legumes.
D. A. Wallace of Wallace's Farmer,
who owns farm near Mora, has been
making some interesting experiments
with the wild pea that grows so lux
urantly in. the cut-over country of
northern Minnesota. In an article in
Farm, Stock and Home, Mr.. Wallace
says:
Seattle and horses display the
greatest avidity and greediness for
the green, succulent vines. They 60
through the brush beating paths and
picking up every stray vine, leaving
good tame grass pasture to do so.
'Made into hay the peas seem
equally palatable and nutritious, and
I have been told that all kinds OF
stock will leave the very best tame
hay to pick up the dry pea vines.
Prof. P. G.. Holden, vice dean and
agronomist on the Iowa Agricultural
College, while on a short visit at our
home this summer, commented very
favorable on the seeming value Of the
wild peas and beans as pasture, and
expressed the opinion that the large
variety of pea was probably a lathy-
rus, vetch probably vici americana.
Taking with him some Of the pea hay
he kindly furnished the following an
alysis. Unfortunately the wild beans
at that time were not far enough ad-
vanced in growth for analysis. I
quote the protein determination and
comparison with analysis of other
leguminous crops.

A LESSON FOR OTHERS.

Trouble.

An Anoka County Township OFFICER In
Trouble.
A decision.by Judge G. L. Brown of
the State supreme court afirms the
Judgment of the Anoka county court
in convicting Daniel PEBBLES, town
ship officer of Blaine, in that county.
A writ of quo warranto issued by the
supreme court some weeks ago is re-
turnable Nov. %, and the adverse de-
cision of the court, it is said, will re-
suit in ousting PEBBLES from the Office
of township supervisor, which he now
holds
PEBBLES was convicted of presenting
a fraudulent claim against the town
ship as a public officer. He was
charged with having, as chairman of
the town board, caused the. issuance
of two certain orders, aggregating
$50. Is, in favor of third party, for
work done on highways in excess of
the amount appropriated for the work
which he superintendent. The orders
were cashed through bank and the
money turned over to the benefciaries.
The district court found PEBBLES guilty
and fined him 5000. He appealed and
pending the appeal he was reelected.
Then the attorney general permitted
the use Of his name to a writ of quo
warranto by which it was attempted to
GUST PEBBLES from Office. He pleaded
his appeal as bar to the latter pro-
ceeding, but with the affirmation of
the lower court his defense seems to
have crumbled away.
The supreme court in affirming the
lower court, holds that the ofense
complained of constituted presenting
false and fraudulent claim against
the county.

New Corn is Scarce.

A market report in the Commercial
West says: ''Not much new corn is
on the market. In many communities
not enough has been husked to supply
local demands. Grain men believe
there will not be any large quantity
of corn, on sale for three months
yet. The farmers have no surplus
this year, and the only thing that
makes it possible for the southwest to
supply any corn at all for the outside
demand this year is the large diminu-
ton in the amount of cattle feeding to
be done. The cattemen are not ship
ping in ''feeders" this fall, because
according to present conditions to
feed them would be dead loss.''

ut will thus be seen that in protein
the wild peas are exceedingly rich,
more so in percentage than any of the
clOvers quoted, even the much lauded
alfalfa. The analysis of cow-peas and
soy beans seems quite similar to that
of the wild pea.
''It seems to me that plants of the
evident value of these wild peas and
beans should have permanent place
in agricultural operation, providing
they will stand civilizing.
II am looking for information and
have only the locality here to Judge
from, I would like to know if the ex-
perience of others adds to or contra
diets anything I have stated.'

An Early Census.

The finding of rare old census
document of St. Louis county, for the
year 1865. is recent discovery in the
office of the county treasurer. At
that time the county had a population
of 292 souls. It is likely one of the
documents upon which J. Proctor

First Eighteen Days of this November
Break Record for Agreeable Weather.
The first eighteen days of Novem-
Der this year have been warmer in
Minnesota than any corresponding
period in the past fourteen years, for
which records are available at the
local weather bureau. The lowest
temperature reached this year between
Nov. l and IS, inclusive, was "a de-
grees. In all former years lower
minimum temperature was touched.
The records show that from Nov.
to Is, 1891, there were six days on
which the temperature was lower than
"a degrees, the lowest this year. For
the same period in 1892 eight days
were colder: in 1898, the number was
four; in 1894, it was seven: in 1895,
three: in 1896, eight; in 1897, four; in
1898, three: in 1899, one: in 1900,
eight: in 1901, ten: in 1902, one: and
last year, four.
Ihe minimum temperatures reached
from Nov. l to Is, inclusive, during
the past fourteen years, are as fol-
lows: In 1891, four degrees below
zero on the 18th: in 1892, nine degrees
on the Sth; in 1898, ten daegrees on
the 18th; in 1894, six degrees on the
18th; in 1895, eleven degrees on the
10Th: in 1896, seven degrees on the
18th; in 1897, fifteen degrees on the
10th; in 1885,, nineteen dergees on the

the 18th; in 1900, eight degrees on the
10th; in 1901, twelve degrees on the
18th: in 1902, twenty one degrees on
the 10th: last year, four degrees on
the 18th; and this year, twenty-four
degrees on the 18th.
In point of maximum temperatures
the weather bureau records show that
there were two warmer days in form
er years. This year the highest tenn
perature reached between Nov. and
IL, inclusive, was sixty-nine degrees
on the Sd. In 1898 the mercury
touched seventy-three degrees on the
