One of the many odd characters who
who ride regularly on the New York ell
eyated trains Is good looking old man
whom the elevated guards have dubbed
"Bluebeard" from the fact that his
beard is dyed a BLUSH black, although
his hair remains white. He wears
frock coat and gray trousers, which
have seen better days. but still lend an
air of gentility to the wearer His
shoes are always polished and his hat
neatly brushed.
What attracts attention to the old
man is his habit of collecting abandon
ed newspapers and his manner OF doing
so. Whenever he finds paper he looks
furtively around. and when he thinks
no one is watching him seizes the paper
and thrusts it under his long coat. This
maneuver is repeated until he is portly
with newspapers. When he can get no
more under his coat he leaves the train.
The railroad guards are not sure
whether he is half -demented creature
with a hobby or a newsdealer seeking
to acquire stock at small expense.

may know that orders coming from
the man with that helmet are author
ity. Chief Croker, however, prefers
disreputable brown felt hat, with a
high increased crown and its brim
bent any old way. The distinctive out
lines of this peculiar headgear even
when seen through, the smoky glare OF
night fire, point out the chief even more
surely than white helmet. for the bat
tillion chiefs wear white helmets, too.
1t is only at very big fires where Croker
intends to plunge into the thick OF the
fight and needs the protection of the
neck guard that he dons the official
headpiece. His estimate of the condi-
ton of a fire and the time when it be-
comes under control may be inferred
from whether he puts on the helmet
and when he takes 1t off again. He does
this last at the earliest possible opportu-
nifty.

Test Your Eyesiqht.

There is simple eye test with
which everyone should be familiar.
The eyes should stand reading or
sewing for several hours without ia
tigue if they are in normal condi-
ton. If, however, there is a sense of
WEAKNESS or drowsiness after read
ing ordinary newspaper print for a
short time, the indications are that
the eyes need help. Try the eyes
separately on some distant object by
covering and uncoVering one and then
the other. Difference may thus be
readily detected, and the question
whether or not visit to the optician
is. necessary can be quickly decided.
Prompt attention is matter of the
utmost importance in many cases of
eye strain

est in the United States.


OF all sizes and classes were the
irrigation pumps exhibited in the
farm implement department OF the
St. Louis fair; but more striking
than these were the windmill.
These busy machines, rearing
their tall heads above the sur
rounding buildings and whirring
gaily in the breeze formed strik-
ing example of mans ingenuity IN
Harvesting the elements. The
highest of these, built by one OF
the largest windmill manufacturers,
spread its galvanized steel wings
12O feet in the air and with a mod
crate wind pumped 10000 gallons
an hour. The water gushed up
like fine artesian well and sup
plies ditch to irrigate good
sized farm.
What will be the next irrigation
exhibit at a worlds fair? Some
say that for many years to come,
this is the last of the big internat-
ional expositions. If this be so,
and it should be Is or 0years be-
fore another great fair, when one
does come, its irrigation exhibit is
likely to overshadow everything
else in agriculture. The west is at
the beginning of great things. The
government has undertaken the
work of national reclamation of
the desert and is pushing the work
rapidly. Vast engineering works,
huge dams and canals are being
constructed in the western states
and territories and as the work pro-
ceeds the people will realize its wis.
dom and worth ana IL VIII De
pushed forward still faster As En-
gineer Savage remarked at is an en-
trancing work, is it not; this Great
ing of homes for men out Of desert
waste?"
And SO twenty years from now,
if the course of wisdom is pursued
and the government irrigation
work continues along right lines
and is kept pure of politics and of
graft, we may see west with near
ly double its present population
and the splendid products of Ameri-
can irrigation reaching to every |
nook and corner of the world.

LOVING Words.

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill OF lIfe
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger drawer for the strife.
Do you count them only trihes2
What to earth are sun and rain?
Never was a kind word wasted.
Never one was said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow,
Think Of weak ones close beside you
If YOU love them, tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power.
And beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower
So, as up life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words for they are sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word or action
AS along through life you go.
There are weary ones around YOU
II you love them. tell them So;
-Molije L. Clayton.

HER LIFE FOR LOVE.
Splendid Story of a Woman's Unhesi
tating Herosm.

''V. c." tells an admirable story OF
beauteous Kesas who loved her hus
band, but who was herself sought by
her wicked and powerful cousin, Mo
Ito. Knowing that Motto would take
her husbands life unless circumvent-
ed by guile, she laid terrible plot.
Summoning Motto, she told him that
on certain night her husband would
be sleeping in certain room and
that she intended to unloosen his hair
so that under no circumstances could
he be mistaken for another man. On
the night in question Motto entered
the room, severed the sleeper's head
with his sword and. holding it up to
the moon by the hair-beheld the
face of Kesa herself.-London News.

plscouraaina the Danes.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English riv-
ers to pillage the churches. When
they were caught they were skinned
and their skins nailed to the door OF
the church they attacked. In course
of time all the exposed portion would
peel off, but that covered by the nail
would be protected and thus bear
testimony to the cruelty of the ancient
Englishmen. In the London College
of Surgeons may be seen three speci-
mems of human skin bearing labels
such as this: Portion of human
skin, said to be that of a Dane, from
the door Of a church at Hadstock in
Essex" A second specimen is from
Copford in Essex, and a third from
the north door of Worcester cathe-
oral. Such fragments of sacrilegious
Danish hide have been found on doors
in Westminster abbey.

HAIR FOR VIOLIN BOWS.
It Comes From Tails of German and
Russian Horses

There is vast amount of horse
hair annually used for making and re-
pairing violin, violoncello and bass
viol bows All of the hair comes from
Germany and Russia.
The foreign hair is coarser in tex
ture and tougher than that which
grows on the British horse, and these
qualities make the imported article
more valuable than the domestic
product is for the purpose.
There are only two kinds of horse
hair suitable for making bows, and
they are of white and black varieties
The former is used for violin bows,
md the latter, which is heavier and
stronger, is the best material for MAX
ing bows for cellos and bass viols, be-
cause it bites the larger strings bet
ter.
The imported hair is put up in
hanks thirty inches long, which is
five or six inches longer than the
standard violin bow. A hank is suf
1cient for one violin bow, while two
hanks are required to hair cello or
bass viol bow.
There are about one and onehalf
ounces of hair in hank, which is
worth about 25 cents, according to
the quality Of the hair.-Stray Stories.

Natural Ice Houses.

The peasants of Pongibaud, in the
mountains of Auvergne, are acGuaint-
ed with singular summer formation
of ice, presumably due to evaporation
under ground moisture and consequent
fall in temperature. CT this phe-
nomena they have for many years
taken advantage to cool and harden
their cheeses. which are deposited il
certain caverns where this ice is
found to be present and thus keel

The Color Of Trees.

Bright colors assumed by naples
sumacs and ampelopsis during the
autumn months are the result of the
oxidizing of the color compounds, or
color generators, of the leaf cells.

not severe enough to Kill the cells

ducing an engine that brings forth

Leaves containing much tannic acid
never give bright autumn tints, while
those containing sugar give the very

WONDERFUL EXHIBIT
At tie ST Louis Fair OF Fruits
Vegetables and Grains Grown
Under Irrigation

mazement the magnificent fruits
and grains from the western states
exhibited at the ST. Louis fair-fal
more notable in size, appearance
and yield than anything they saw
in the east, how many Of them re-
allied the cause of this effect
How many OF them have thought
out the wonderful fact that these
products were borne upon lands
which few years ago were useless
deserts, but now made fertile by
the art OF irrigation?
No irrigation exhibits" Of prom
inence were in evidence at this
worlds fair, as such, yet in every
thing agricultural they formed q
leading part and their withdrawal
would have left huge gaps and
have taken away the best Had
the products OF the dam and the
ditch all been labeled grown by
irrigation" the irrigation exhibit
would have been a very big one.
And it seems to me that this would
have been a good thing. The west
is proud of its irrigation; why not
thus call attention to its superiori-
ty of production?
In grain and grasses Colorado's
exhibit led easily, though splendid
showings were made by other arid
states, Oregon, Washington, Mon
tana, Utah, California, but the
Centennial state showed 100 diff
ferent kinds OF grasses and 100 var
ieties OF grain, 1t had oats 8 feet
tall and timothy heads s inches
long. 1t took $40 prizes and 80
gold medals. And its seperate
fruit exhibit included almost all
the products of America except the
truly tropical.
Oregon had Mortgage Litter
Wheat, feet tall. Think of
wheat field in which an army of
SIX foot men would stand conceal
ed. And snow-white onions 6
inches across. And Idaho and
Utah and New Mexico, and all the
west set forth a dazzling display Of
irrigated apples and plums,
peaches and grapes OF color, size
and beauty which it would take a
book to describe.
But ahead of all the west in the
extent and variety of her exhibit |
stood Califonnia-California, that |
vast strip of golden land reach f,
ing from Oregon to Mexico and in
the vegetable wealth of the

The advantages passed by the
North Dakota wheat grower
over his brother across the line
is well indicated by the fact that
dozens Of smugglers have been
arrested for bringing wheat to
the states to sell, but there is no
instance where an attempt has
been made to smuggle the .other
way. The difference in the
markets here and there is
enough to tempt men to deeds

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AMI
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8 1904
President Porfirio Diaz on
December first was inaugurated

President Porfirio Diaz on
December first was inaugurated
President of Mexico for his
thirteenth term. The occasion
marked the beginning Of the
twenty fifth year Of his rule with
a wise though semi-despotic
hand over the often turbulent
people which comprise the nation
Yet he is one Of the grea rulers
of the western world. Before
his coming into the affairs of
Mexico that country was rent
with revolutions and filled with
lawlessness. When the govern
ment came into his hands by
virtue of a revolution the country
at once felt the strong rule of
the master. The conditions call
ed for a tyrant and in this the
conditions were met, yet with
the tyranny was mingled the
broadcast liberty that would not
be abused and a progressiveness
that marked the first advance in
the national prosperity. Rail-
roads were built internal i'm
provements were made, and the
republic stands today at the head
of the lesser nations of the
earth. The people enjoy a de-
gree Of freedom never dreamed
of before his time, and it has
been given them just as they
proved themselves able to use
without abusing it. Mexico is a
living example of the best means
of giving liberty to restless and
turbulent people.

The suggestion that the only
hope for the democratic party
in Missouri was to have
that state annexed to Arkansas,
carries but little weight when it
is remembered that the demo-
cratic majority in Arkansas Of
$4,000 for Brayn in 1900 fell to
13, 900 for Parker. Looks as
though Arkansas needs annex
ing.
