Hanlin :

tory last week in the columns of that
paper, made his political bow and
babe his many friends adieu as he has
retired from journalism and soon ex-
poets to enter new field. The Re-
publican has secured another report
er here who will still continue to
dish UP the dol gs of each week in
his best style.
Nelson s. Kjargaard sent out one
car of hogs to Omaha and one to Des
MONIES, the past week, Tom Marde-
sen selling them 60 head; August
Burr, % head besides these, small de-
liveries were made by VIM. Soukup;
Hans Mardesen, F. NJ. McNally; r.

Some full bedged sneak thieves
made raid one night recently on the
canned fruit belonging to Mrs. Henry
Wells, south of Hamlin, and packed
off fourteen quarts OF her choicest
fruits. A shotgun loaded with some
thing larger than bird shot and fired
at the right time is the proper REM
edy for such petty thievery. We
have heard OF several cases similar to
that mentioned but not on such a
wholesale scale.
The farmers are taking advantage
of the fine weather and are either
stacking their grain or threshing it
out of the shock. AS near as we can
learn, the wheat is yielding OH an
average close to fourteen bushels, oats
of good quality and running from
thirty to thirty-fve bushels and bar
ley the same. Since the real corn
growing weather has set in, the farmer
is feeling hopeful of an extra large
yield and is only hopeful the frost
won't blast his prospects.
Prof. Aaber closed his two-months
term Danish school here and at Ham
lin Center, Sunday with fine pro-
gram rendered by the pupils of the
two schools The exercises were all in
the Danish language and were held in
the church, which was beautifully
decorated with flowers. The parents
feel proud of the part their children
took, to render the day attractive and
the Professor deserves much praise for
the zeal and energy manifested in his
careful rtutelage of the children left
in his charge. After the program
was rendered the company all repair
ed to the Nels Rattenborg grove
where the little ones were served with
lemonade and cake. Prof. Aaber went
from here to Poplar we are informed
where he will form Danish class and
give Instructions in the mother
tongue.

a Bit OF Browning satire.

A medley of young literary men were
once gathered to meet Robert Brown
ing. Themostaggressively literary of the
group was first introduced and at once
began to pour out his personal delight
and admiration with so unceasing a
dow that the other introductions were
being held in allegiance, and the other
literary young men starved. Browning
endured 1t with great good humor for
some time. At last he put his hand al
most affectionately on the egotist's
shoulder and said, "But I am monopo-

Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Littleport
was taken suddenly i'll Thursday
night with cramps and kind Of
cholera. His case was so severe that
he had to have the members of the
crew wait upon him and Mr.. Clifford
was called and consulted. He told
them he had medicine in the form
Of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrnoea Remedy that he thought
would help him out and accordingly
several Doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to
be around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr.. Gifford's

When she reached the house on

The $50 train! 1t was now 2:45.
Oh, why had she waited to show those
horrid boys about the geometry les
son? Why didn't she come directly
home?
She snatched her gloves and purse
from the table and ran out to the
street. To her excited Imagination the
subway car simply crawled its slow
way along to Park street. At Park
street she resisted with difficulty the
inclination to scream as three trains
for other destinations rumbled by be-
fore one came that would take her to
the South station.
No one would have recognized the
dignified Miss Selwyn in the excited
girl with flying and flushed cheeks
who ran rapidly down the stairs from
the elevated and rushed through the
station, dexterously lodging through
the crowd and making her way to the
farther tracks.
''The $3.50 train!" she gasped, paus-
ing before the tall guard at the gate.
.Just gone, madam. at is too BAD
She did not wait to hear his cour-
teous condolences. She flew to the
information bureau.
"Where is the first stop-this $50
train-going west?' she painted.
''Trinity Place." mechanically. "Leav-
ing there now. Stops on signal at
South birmingham. Next regular stop
at Worcester"
Trinity Place! Hardly block from
home. If she had only known!
A dispatch for Richard Converse was
carried into the drawing room car
when the train reached Worcester,
and just as it was about to start again
an excited man, grasping his hastily
snatched grip and overcoat, fairly
tumbled down the steps to the plat
form. He ran along beside the slow
moving train while an equally excited
porter passed him his hat and gloves
and with professional dexterity caught
the tossed half dollar.
Passengers on the next train from
Worcester to Boston might have won

tender touches given to a slip Of vel

Queer Cure. Of Country Folks.


"When it comes to superstition" re-
marked the doctor the other evening.
there's nothing that can beat the su-
perstition about medicine and cures
generally.
There's the average Arkansan, for
instance. He thinks that coal oil
poultice is good for sore throat As
soon as his throat gets sore he binds
about it a poultice Of coal oil. It peels
the skin all of his neck, but he believes
that it has cured him just the same.

bad stomach, but the patient keeps up
his treatment and thinks it as good as
anything a regular practitioner would
have given him.
SIN Pike county, Pa, some years ago
found number OF people maintain
ing that the one and only thing for a
rattlesnake bite was to cut live chick
en- in halves and lay on the wound the
half containing the heart. They hold
that the chicken would adhere to the
bite and suck out the poison, turning,
as the venom entered it, horrible
green.
"And the odd thing about all this"
concluded the doctor, 'is that people
will take the most unpleasant medi-
cines when they prescribe them them
selves, whereas they would kick like
mules If they were administered by a

Beware of PARKWAY Investments.

With the experience of the last five
years with fake mining companies
and oil schemes, it seems strange that
any of our readers would be taken in
by some of the new Cuban companies.
whose stock is now being foated: but
our information indicates that this
is the case. Thousands and thou
sands of dollars have been sent out
of the State of Iowa to be invested
in mining schemes in the West and
oil schemes in the South. and we ven-
ture to say that for every thousand
dollars thus invested not fifty cents
has been returned to the investor.
A gentleman who is In a position to
know remarked to us last fall that as

Seven white men were convicted in
Danville, Va, of being members of

hey were sentenced to pay a fine of
$50 each and to serve one day in jail.
They were placed in Jail with the
same negro they attempted to lynch.

near as he could estimate over half
a million dollars had been invested
by Des Moines people in Western
mines. or, rather, in Western mining
companies which owned a prospect
for mines, and that with one excep-
ton the investors had failed to real
ize anything. In this exception the
investor made some money, but on re-
investing it on another proposition
of the same sort lost it. We are
not in a position to know whether
this statement is correct, but we be-
lieve> it to be.
In every county in the State there
are one or more farmers who have
invested all the way from twenty to
a thousand dollars or more in mining
companies. When oil was found in
Texas a lot of wildcat companies
were organized and the stock hoated
through the daily, and, we regret to
say. some cases through the agri-
cultural press, and the sorry expert
ence of those who invested in West
ern mines did not seem 10 deter
them from throwing good money af-
ter bad by going into some of the
Texas oil companies.
Now we have the Cuban and Philip
pine companies. Many people have
a hazy idea hat there are immense
fortunes to be made in these new
possessions, and when a smooth agent
comes along and explains how the
company which he represents has Sc
cured for a song options on immense
ly valuable tracts of land and is rails
ing money to enable it to take ad-
vantage of these options. the tempta-
ton for some is too strong to be e
sisted. If our readers are wise. they
will absolutely refuse to invest a
nickel in any proposition IF this
kind. The chances that they will
win are not one in a thousand. 1t
is the same old game in a new guise.
On most farms there are plenty
of places where surplus capital can
be invested to advantage, and where
the money invested will not only rro-
duce good interest but add to the
value of the entire farm. For ex-
ample, tile drains, where needed:
woven wire fences, making the farm
hog-tight; a water system in the
house; a new kitchen range; and a
washing machine; better building,
etc, etc. Put your surplus money
where you can find it, and where
you and yours will get the benefit of
it.-Wallace's Farmer.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-20

There is nothing that gives a pass
erby a poorer opinion of a farm than
a roadside front encountered with a
weed and scrub nursery. On many a
farm which is otherwise comparative
ly clean, the roadside is allowed to
furnish weed seeds enough annually
to keep up the supply of brow sweat
ings for the next season. Even
where there is some effort to keep
the roadside clean it is common to
let the whole growth remain until
fall. when the weed seeds are ripe and
then have a cleaning up which accom-
plishes. little good. In travelling
through Northern Indiana we were
struck with the beautiful sod on each
side of the railroad line and inside of
the railroad fences. The grass and
weeds were carefully moved more
than once during the season and
there was, late in the fall, a sod of
emerald green which made a strong
contrast with the brown and closely
grazed fields on the farms along
side. 1t takes little work, if done
at the right time. to keep the road
side in front of ones farm neat and
showing only a clean sod instead of
bushes and weeds The front of thou
sands of farms in all parts of the
country shows a growth of bushes
that hide the fields beyond and tive
a neglected appearance to the whole
place. Now is the time to get at
these things. Grub the whole front
carefully, and determine that next
the growth shall be kept down.
As the young sprouts appear in
spring. it will take but little while
with the scythe to clip them off, and
a regular clipping with the scythe
Kill do more towards banishing the
bushes than any grabbing hat is
done but once a year. Where the no
fence law is in operation it is easy
to keep the roadside clean with the
moving machine, and every farmer
who takes any pride in the appear
ance of his place will see to this.
There is a money value in neatness.
for if two places side by side are
offered for sale, one neat and clean
and the other bordered with bushes
and weeds, the clean farm will bring
more money per acre by reason of its
appearance. Then if we add to this
some beauty in the planting of the
front and the approach to the house
with a well-kept drive and a beautiful
lawn, we viii be adding dollars to the
salable value of the farm at a small
cost.-Practical Farmer.
