A CLOSE CALL.
A Former Sank Centre Boy
has a Narrow Escape from
Burning to Death.

M. A. Scherffius received a letter
from his brother, Leo, who is in the
jewelry business at Chinook, Montana,
stating that last Saturday he was a
victim of an accident which only
escaped being fatal by the narrowest
margin.
The proprietor OF the store when
he went into the basement,
turned on the gasoline that runs the
lights but did not turn it off when the
cup for starting the generator was full.
Consequently it overfiowed and ran
over the basement floor. 1t being
cool in the cellar il did not evaporate.
When Leo went down to start the
generator, about eight O'Clock in the
evening, the gasoline exploded.
Leo was badly burned about the
arms, neck and face, and it will be
some time before he will be able to
resume work. He considers himself
fortunate that his eyes escaped injury.
Leo declares he was fine specimen
Of burnt offering.

Milking With Wet HANDS.

In milking, the hands do not need
to be wet. The habit of wetting them
should be abandoned, as it is prac-
tically impossible to keep the hands
moist without using the foam on the
milk as source of moisture. The
mixer may imagine that by merely
touching his fingers to the top of the
foam no injury comes to the milk, but
the habit had better be abandoned in
the interest of cleanliness. We think
however that some of our writer's
overdraw the matter when they talk
OF mixers dipping their fingers into
the milk. The inference Is that the
fingers Of the mixers reach the solid
milk. The writer has never seen q
case OF this kind. According to the
writer's referred to, the mixers. dip
their fingers into the milk and convey
to the teats Of the COW 40 much of the
milk that the latter drips from the
teats into the pail and oozes out from
between the fingers In milking. Who
ever saw case Of this kind? But
even at its best, the habit of moisten-
Ing the teats with milk Is not one that
SHOULD be peFpetuated. II the hands
were to be moistened at all, pure
water would have to be kept near for
that purpose. This is impracticable.
Therefore let US put aside the practice
OF moisteniag the teats at all and milk
With dry hands.

George E. Spears Gives an
Exhibition of his Skill
as Billiardist.
Mr. c. A. Writ, proprietor of the
billiard and pool room in this city,
brought Mr.. George E. Spears, the
billiard expert of Minneapolis, to his
place on Wednesday evening to show
the billiard enthusiasts of this city
how the "gentleman's game' should
be played.
Mr.. Spears opened the exhibition by
playing Mr.. c. E. Fenton a game oil
straight three ball billiards, Mr..
Spears playing 100 or no count. Mr..
Spears winning by score of 100 to II.
He then played Mr.. Fenton 100, four
teen inch balk line to his so straight
billiards, winning by score of 1OC
to AZ.
Afterwards Mr.. Spears gave a very
interesting exhibition of fancy billiard
and pool shots. Under Mr.. Spears
skillful manipulation the balls seemed
endowed with life and he was able to
make them do his bidding. To the
ameteur his work seemed little short
of the marvellous. A large crowd
thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition
and was generous with its applause
of Mr.. Spears truly wonderful per-
formance.

Base Ball.

The ball team has returned from q
tour on which they played five games,
winning three and losing two which
is an excellent record considering the
character of the teams played against
and the fact our boys were on the road
and wearied by travel.
On Thursday they played Morris,
leaving here on the afternoon train
and playing the game after O'Clock
in the evening. The game resulted in
q score Of to 8 in favor of the Sank
Centre team. Gilchrist and Jackson
were the battery.
On Saturday and Sunday they
played the strong Bemidji team REIN
forced by four indians from Flandreau,
8. D., and the Umpire, both these
games were lost, the first by score
of 2 to 5, the second by 4 to 6.
Gilchrist and jackson were the battery
on Saturday and Doty and Jackson
ON Sunday.
On Monday Sank Centre played two
games at Akely, where they first took
the Bemidji boys into camp to the
tune of to /. Not satisfied with that
they next beat the Akley team 5 to 8.
Gilchrist and Jackson were the battery
in the first game and Doty and
Jackson in the second.
Three Flandreau indians returned
with the boys and will play with the
team the balance of the season,
Emmerson who will play third base
and change pitcher, Bongo who will
play short and third, and Carl who
will probably play field.
This makes the team one of the
strongest ameteur aggregations Of
ball tossers in the state and we may
look for some sensational ball
playing.

DR.. RENNICKS
Successfully Passes His
Examination.

DR.. Rennicks, who on last October
came here from Fargo to practice his
profession, that of veterinary sur
geon, and was compelled to cease
practicing by series of transactions
by others practicing in the same line
which closely bordered on persecution.
The doctor was a graduate of a
Toronto Veterinary College and soon
established lucrative practice.
1t was discovered that he held no
license from the State Board. Com
plant was made and he was twice ar
rested for practicing without license.
In each case he was bound over to the
District court, giving bonds for 5000
in each instance. When the cases
were called for trial in District court
they were promptly dismissed by the
Judge.
Unfortunately the DOCTORS diploma
was destroyed by fire in Fargo,
which necessitated a trip ON his part
to Toronto to secure a duplicate,
1t had been so many years since he
graduated that it was necessary to
prove his identity before he could
secure duplicate diploma.
This was easily done, the duplicate
was secured, and at the last session of
the State Board the Doctor passed a
most successful examination and his
license was issued to him.
The doctor will resume his practice
here at once very much to the salts
faction of his numerous friends and
as he is a first class veterinary, no
doubt he will soon secure a large
practice.

The Jsrsey.Holsteln Rivalry

Many, no doubt, have heard of the
Holstein and Jersey breeders tests for
their respective breeds. A Holstein
breeder was boasting about the rich
milk that his cows were giving. The
Jersey man said: Friend. are you
sure that your cows are full-blooded
Holsteins? I have a sure test for
determining Holstein cows" The HoI.
stein man wanted to know what his
test was. He said: when you be-
gin to milk. put silver dollar in the
pail. II the milk Is thin enough so
that you can see the dollar when the
pail Is full Of milk, you may be sure
that you have Holstein cow" The
Holstein breeder replied that he had
q test that never failed to detect q
Jersey. When asked for an explana-
tion he said: PUT silver dollar In
the milk pail when you begin to milk,
and II the milk does not cover the dol.
lar when You are through you can be-
sure that you have Jersey COW

KEEP YOUR
MONEY AT HOME
Supply Houses and Depart
ment Stores.

This is the season of the year when
the residents Of the country, especially
that portion Of the country covered by
free rural delivery routes, and the
smaller cities and towns are flooded
with circulars from supply houses and
department stores, Offering for sale
everything from darning needle to
a lumber wagon, from pound of tea
to a barrel OF sugar, and from a
pocket handkerchief to fur overcoat.
Before any Of our readers send any
money for goods in reply to these
alluring advertisements, we ask you
to stop and consider few things.
These foreign establishments. do not
pay any taxes in your town or county,
they contribute nothing to the support
OF your schools and churches, they
never sign subscription paper when
your house burns down Or your team
gets struck by lightning. They never
aid the poor and needy in your neigh
borhood, in fact, as far as the social,
moral or financial welfare of your
neighborhood and community is con-
cerned, they might just as well not
exist at all. -.
A dollar sent out of the country
seldom returns. It is expended in
building up other localities than your
own.
For the money sent out of the
country you receive no return except
the goods purchased, while every
dollar spent at home goes to swell the
volume of home business, and the
greater the volume of home business
transacted, the greater the value of
your property.
Every time you spend dollar in
the home market you not only receive
its value in the goods purchased, but
you add something to the value of
every dollars worth OF property you
own.
The men who write these circulars
are not George Washingtons, they
can, and often do lie. We venture not
one half the people who order from
supply houses, find the goods just as
represented.
When you purchase at home you
can see what you are buying. No
sane business man wonld think of
buying horse or COW without see
ing it. An old proverb says, "Never
buy a pig in a bag" This proverb
applies equally as we'll to everything
else you buy.
Ii you buy an article at home if it
does not suit you, you can return it
and get your money back or another
article in its place. This cannot be
done ii you buy abroad or if it can, it
is only after vexatious delay.
Lastly it is very seldom anything is
saved by purchasing away from home.
The next time you make up your
mind to send an order to supply
house or department store in the
cities, make out bill of what you
want with the prices attached and the
expense Of renting the money and
freight added and take the same to
your local dealer and see If he will
not duplicate the order for cash.

been informed that when the matter is
