FREE BEER AT AUCTIONS
Representative Nolan Voices Complaint
from Southern Minnasota

Representative Nolan Voices Complaint
from Southern Minnesota.
Free beer at auction sales in southern
Minnesota is an evil against which Repre-
sentative w. A. Nolan of Mower county
has raised an unofficial but dissenting
voice in st. Paul. The representative al
leges that in order to attract crowds to
sales, the farmers of the section in ques-
ton give away beer. This causes trouble.
A thrifty farmer disikes to wake up the
day after sale and discover that he has
paid $50 for a wheelbarrow while under
the influence of free beer The scheme
is said to work well for the distributor
SO far as prices go, but it proves burden
some to those who bid high while moved
by alcoholic enthusiasm.

Winning an OnDOnent.

In the campaign of 1900 Senator Cul-
lom was called on to face large audi
ence in his home city Of Springfield.
He saw in the audience fellow
townsman who had formerly been an
influential Republican, but who had
joined the opposing party and display
ed a dangerous activity in it's support.
This man arose from his seat and ap-
parently was ready to begin series of
'catch questions" Before this inten-
ton could be put into execution Sena-
tor Cullom paused in his speech and
in a conversational tone called out:
John Simpson, you're too old man
to stand up in any audience that |

hold down this chair next to mine"
The invitation was accepted and at
the close of the mass meeting the man
announced that he was "back in the

All Odd Present.

There is a strange custom prevalent
among the old fishermen and hand
loom weavers of Girvan, Scotland. The
industries of the town are fast decay
ing, only a very few weavers being
kept busy now, SO the younger genera
ton have to migrate in search of fresh
fields. When the grownup sons and
daughters have been successful in
their new spheres, often at the other
side of the world, their thoughts are
busy with the "auld folks very
common present to the latter is that
of "certifcate' giving the right to
be buried in the old churchyard. Thus
their parents last resting place is Sc
cured, and so common is the custom
that only to stranger does it's grew

of the possession with pride and thank

Emerson ON the Sen.

On the seashore the play of the At
.antic with the coast. What wealth Is
here! Every wave is fortune. One
thinks of Etzlers and great projectors
who will yet turn all this waste
strength to account What strength
and fecundity, from the sea monsters,
hugest of animals, to the primary
forms of which it is the immense era
die, and the phosphorescent infusOries;
It is one vast rolling bed of life, and
every sparkle is fish. What freedom
and grace with all this might! The
seeing so excellent q spectacle is a GER
tificate to the mind that all imaginable
good shall yet be realized. The sea is
the chemist that dissolves the noun
tain and the rock. pulveriZes old con-
tinents and builds new, forever redis
tributing the solid matter of the globe,
and performs an analogous office in
perpetual new transplanting of the
races of men over the surface the ex-
odus of nations. We may we'll yield
us for a time to it's lessons. But the
nomad instinct, as l said, persists to
drive us to fresh fields and pastures
new. Indeed the variety of our moods
has an answering variety in the face
OF the world, and the sea drives us
back to the hills.-Ralph Waldo Emer-

A Worms Skin.

The Annelid Podynce cirrata is

a half in length, of flattened shape,
blunt at both ends, apparently covered
by smooth skin of dull brown col

into elegant serpentine curves, and
then what appears to be the upper skin
is seen to be composed Of a great num-
Der Of round, fat. membranous plates
or shields, arranged in two rows, over
tapping each other These, though of
larger size, are attached to the body

lifted and reveal their live structure,

man received an evening call from an
elderly man and woman, who ex-
pressed a wish to be Joined in the
bonds Of matrimony as quickly as pos
sible.
"Have you ever been married be-
fore?" asked the clergyman of the
man, a good natured, weather beaten
person of seafaring aspect.
Never, and never wanted to be be-

"And have you ever been married be-

promptness. And with a touch of humor

to take any fee, telling the bride, with
twinkle in his eye, that it had been
an unusual privilege to officiate.-New

The Sea Wolf.

A sea wolf caught by salmon fish
ers of the Esk in MontrOSe, Scotland,
is described as follows: Its mouth
measured seventeen and one-half inch
es across and when fully opened the
circumference was ffty-two inches.
The lungs were like a white parasol
cut in two. In the middle Of the fish
were two paws remarkably like hands,
the five fingers being attached by fine
membrane. The sea VOLTS habit is to
lie at the bottom of the water, with
open mouth, manipulating two codlike
fappers to attract its prey. These flap
pers are fixed over its head. On being
cut open the VOLTS stomach was found
to contain a sea gull, which had been
swallowed whole. AS soon as the bird
was removed the spectators were even
more astonished to find a big eel, which
was still alive"

An Extra Pair Of Lungs.

"I have known aged people, men past
eighty, to take their cold baths every
morning and be as spry as you please"
says Eugene Wood in Everybody's
Magazine. "One old fellow used to
toddle down to the beach when he had
to wade bare legged through the snow
two or three blocks. 1t carried him off
at the last, though, for he died just
about four weeks before he was eighty
four And if those of low vitality who
ought to take the chill off the bath
were to take it ice cold and rub them
selves like sixty afterward 1 don't think
their vitality would be low. l think
if they got their blood purified by prac-
tically adding another pair Of lungs to
their outfit they would soon be as chip
per as anybody"

Valuable Queen Bees.

Just as there are valuable strains in
horses cattle and other stock, so there
are varieties of queen bees which are
worth many hundred times their
weight in gold The most valuable
strain is the Italian, and many Italian
bee farmers demand and receive with
out question prices ranging from $50
to 5000 for single queen bee OF a
certain kind. Such bees are sent all
over the world The owner Of bee
farm near Ottawa, Canada, goes to
Europe annually and brings back with
him bees of an aggregate value of
thousands of dollars. He is enabled
through the agency of an Italian firm
to effect an insurance upon the most
valuable of his Queens.-BOston Tran

Ways Of the Irish Jarvey.

\ good story. which illustrates the
absolute genius with which an Irish
tarTey extracts money from his vic
tins, is told in an English journal. A
commercial traveller wanted to take a
side car in Belfast and. aware of the
rapacity of the average jarvey, insisted
on knowing the exact fare before get
ting on the car The following dia-
logue ensued:
Commercial Traveller = What's the
fare to C, jarvey?
Jarvey-Ach, that's alroight, sorr.
Just get on.
Commercial Traveller = Now, look
here. what's the fare to C?
Jarvey-Shure. it's alroight, sorr.
just jump up.
Commercial Traveler-I insist on
knowing the fare before get on.
Jarvey-Bedad, sorr, I'm that hard
up I'll drive you for nothing at all,
SORT.
Needless to say, when the CONNER
cial traveller finally got to his destina-
ton he was mulcted of an amount
much larger than the legitimate fare,
an amount he had to pay to save his
face
