With the robes aNd hoods they went
out OF the place. Harvey started at
a quick pace back toward the camp.
At a convenient place he stopped and
said:
"As soon as | heard Of those monks
it seemed to me that this was the So
luton of the problem. We can't fight

selves and appear as old and feeble
as possible, travelling in the anne d.

The Russian wondered still more at
the u of the American during
the process of Disgusting themselves.
The people of the region were dark.
With the bruised husks of nuts of a
walnut tree he made an olive colored
stain, which he daubed over their faces.
With a pair of folding scissors he cut
of the Russians mustache, bringing
sadness to his heart. They made them
selves grimy with the soil of the road
and practiced the walk of feeble old
men. So well did Harvey execute this

Slowly they tramped along the road,
and at last, judging themselves to be
about half way between the camp and
the monastery, they waited.

"Paying the Freight.''

The amount of money. spent by Pierrs
in her effort to keep the capital, and
by Mitchell in her effort to secure it,
is easily ascertained. Mitchell, being
larger, has put: up most &, of the cash
spent in her interest. The Mitchell dna
the Milwaukee & ST.. Paul railroad has.
contributed about $4,000 in money,
much of which has been devoted to the
Black Hills country, where the North
Western railroad is strong.
At Pierre, conditions are different.
The town is not large and the $4,000
given by citizens there is as much as
could be expected. The North Western
railroad has valiantly entered the lista
in Pierre g behalf, however. Fully $685..
900 in money was given by this road,
to be spent in advertising and meeting
the numerous expenses Of a campaign.

World s Fair, st. Louis, Nov. s.
The display Of fruit made by Mime
sofa at the st. Louis exposition creates
surprise. bordering on amazement,
among visitors from different parts
of the world, who know this grand
state only. by it's reputation for "be-
low zero' temperature, and who have
heretofore been under the impression
that on y, crabapples could be grown
there. They are quickly disabused of
this Idea on viewing the double ex-
hibtt which the state presents as con-
vincing evidence to the contrary
Minnesota 8 first installation of fruit
made early in the season is Just across
the aisle from New York s imperial
display, to which the North Star state
yields only in the extent Of it's show
ing, not in effect, or in texture and
flavor of its products.
This octagonal booth had on it's ter
raced shelves, during the summer, fine
specimens Of the early fruits, includ-
berry, and black, red and yellow rasp-
berry, the last named being a novelty
to people of other localities. Many va
rieties of plums, some with delicacy
and flavor equal to the peach, replaced
the berry display, and as the season
changed, these were followed by the
luscious grape and magnificent apple of
the autumn.
Intermingled with the plates of
fresh fruits are bottled samples from
the experimental station, preserved in
formaldehyde, alcohol and water. The
same arrangement is carried out on the
revolving shelves which stand at the
corners of the booth.
This installation was arranged and
supervised by A. w. Latham, secretary
of the Minnesota Horticultural society
assisted by Thomas Redpath of Way
zata, who has maintained it in attrac-
tive form throughout the changing
seasons.

The different varieties of apples

quality coming from the Northwestern

Prize-Winning Fruits.
The winning Of the first premium on

ed that when the final awards in fruit
are announced the bread and butter

The success achieved in the last few
shown in the states exhibit here, is
due in a large measure to the stimulat-
ing influence exerted by the Minneso-
ia Horticultural society, the largest,
most progressive and harmonious or
ganization of it's kind in the country.
The society offered prize Of $1,000
