THE WAY TO DO IT.

Beir section, Mr.. Hill sAid he

could not build. Six OF the lar
gest farmers met at a school
house. One of them was Joseph
Kelley, who owned 900 acres of
land, and who hauled his wheat
fifteen miles to Devils Lake.
Mr.. Keeley said; ''If the Great
Northern won't build, we will
build a railroad twenty-five miles
long"
They asked every farmer who
hauled grain to Devils Lake to
subscribe. Some subscribed S25,
others $500. They raised $780,
600. They sent farmer to Dn-
luth to buy ties aud another to
st. Paul to buy old rails. A land
promoter was building a small
branch line out of Devils Lake to
the south, and they got him to
survey the road. They bird sec
tion hands to lay the track.
But they needed more money.
They bought land along the line
and laid out three towns, sold lots
and used the money to buy an old
engine, a day coach and four box
cars from the Great Northern
railway.
Then the road was started. It
will stop for any farmer at any
place. Last year the road made
its expenses, it hauled 10000
bushels of wheat. This year,
with the railroad at hand, the
farmers planted more wheat, and
the road will haul 1000, 200 bush
els.

A BRETON LEGEND.
Huge Granite Bowlders In Which Are
Imprisoned Pagan Souls.

Over all the valley Of Plouma-
mach, most thickly along its sea
edge, huge strange shaped powders
of red granite are scattered singly
or are heaped up i'll wonderfully
balanced mounds. The mere geolo-
gist will tell you that these rounded
rocks have been dropped by gla-
cier and that the valley is the site
Of a terminal moraine. ANY we'll
uneducated Breton Of course knows
that this explanation is all nom
sense. My driver, being cheered by
his pilgrim draft, gave me the more
satisfying information that in every,
one of these scattered powders is
imprisoned pagan soul that thus
are held fast until the day of iudg-
ment the Bretons who rejected the
blessed teachings of Christianity
and who paid for their stiff necked
shining by being cast into stone.
Once a year the enchantment is

sumo their human forms and go
down to the sea to drink--to drink
long and deeply, that they may lay
in a supply of deliciously cold salt
water that will ease them through
their coming twelyemonth of tor
ment in internal fires. On the night
of that great drinking it is well for
all good Christians to bide at home
behind barred doors. AT cock crow
the accursed ones come back from
their sea cooling to the places where
they belong, changing from men
and women into rocks again as they
surge onward, and surely crushing
any spying mortal in their way.
Only one escape is recorded from
the charge Of that fearsome compa-
ny, that of poor good man who in
charity had carved on one Of the en-
chanted rocks the blessed cross. In
gratitude for that loving act the
cross marked bowlder, monstrous
