AtWater, Mimi, got an eyeopener at the
primaries that has not kept a number of
It's politicians At-water SO much as at
other fluids since that date. Atwater is
a fine little city of 700 people on the
Breakyourneck division of the Great
Northern. Some controversy had arisen
over the superintendent Of schools and
before the primaries sundry whisperings
were about. Atwater's normal vote is
about 1876 males and its highest female
vote had been about twenty five. Up
to noon on Sept. 90 eighty men and five
ladies had voted and the village prophet
announced that about five more Susan B.
Anthonys would vote In the afternoon.
But the prophet made the mistake Of
his life. About 1 o'clock the ladies of
Atwater donned holiday garb and when
the clock on the townhouse steeple went
three, they came forth clad as the sun
and proceeded to the election place and
voted to keep in office the man of their
choice. When this sudden exodus of the
sex upon the streets began, the town as
sumed an aspect of splendor and beauty
There was an unprecedented rustic of
silks and satins and the few strangers
present inquired: Who's who?'' The
county auditor of Kandiyofli county had
sent to the judges 100 lady ballots which
was in the nature of extravagan mas
much as not more than ten were expected
to vote. At o'clock the judges capi.u-
lated and announced that ladies' ballots
had run out! -.t r.
A clerk was instructed to telephone the
auditor at Willmar for an additional sup
ply and at 4:30 Wilmar's speediest chat
feur was toot-tooting towards Atwater
at the rate of forty miles an hour, running
over chickens and just lodging cows. He
arrived in the nick of time. When the
last shot had been fired 1t was found
that 103 ladies had thrown ballots and had
hit the mark, too. Of these, eighty-two-
had voted for the present superintendent
who, by the way, is a married man, and
only twenty-one for his bachelor oppo-
nent, demonstrating the Partially of la
dies for married men.
And it is further reported that all the
young and unmarried ladies voted for the
married candidate and vice versa. The
young man who incurred the opposition
of the energetic ladies of Atwater will
hardly become a female sufferer of the
Miss Anthony type right away.
A North Minneapolis man left his lawn
out of doors the other night and 1t was
stolen. He had just laid his sod and
was sleeping in peace, when the rob-
bers broke into the yard and lifted it's
entire landscape and carted it hence.
They left the atmosphere behind. The
lest some one come along and scrape his
paint off.
People whose heads are garnished on
the exterior, often at the expense of the.
interior, will be interested to know that
the largest dealers in human hair in
New York, who practically supply the
hair crop for the entire country, are au-
thority for the statement that the de-
mand for this commodity was never as
great as it is at present The result is
that the price Of all shades and styles
of human hair is rapidly soaring. There
has been advance in the price Of
irst-class hair Of from 80 to SO per cent
within the last three months. The pres
ent indications are. judging from the size
of the crop now being imported, that
there will be a still further advance in
prices during the winter months. One
dealer said that it was almost impossible
to supply the demand for frst-cass gray
hair. Here is a chance for Ralph
Wheelock to do little something on the
SIDE
. Colonel de Rochas, the Paris hypno-
tist has discovered how to make a
woman young again. He calls it the
phenomenon Of the Repression of Men,
ory." He thinks that he can make g.
woman believe that she is much younger
than she is, If she doesn't do it already,
and act that way, too. He hypnotized
woman 35 years of age, whose mother
died twenty-six years ago. He told his
subject she was nine years old. She Ia
mented that her beloved parent had eX-
pired the day before. Then the hypno-
fist ordered his rejuvenated patient to
become years old. She thought she
was taking care of her little sister in the
garden Of her home and was entirely
happy while playing with her dolls.
Thanks to hypnotism, a widow of 40 can.
without hypocrisy, assume the innocence
of a girl of Is. And act in such a way
that any man whom she sees will have
to run. Another fine thing about the
plan is that any woman of 40 can give
herself the suggestion that she is 80, and
act real kitteniSh. Yet, after all, there
is nothing new in this. Colonel de
Rochas is a good deal of a back number.
A correspondent writes to ask what I
consider the best time for dehorning the
COW.
Ans.-I consider it more important to
defy than to dehorn. Keep the beast
from annoyance if you wish to obtain
a good lacteal flow. But if you must de-
horn be sure to avoid fly time and bit
ter cold weather.
Query-How can you tell a cow Of
good disposition?
Ans.-If there is one thing you want
to avoid it is a cross COW. A gentleman
farmer does not want to be always
playing football with his COW. To pick
out kind COW, look her full in the eye
and remark 80. boss The eyes should
be placid, gentle quiet and not quick;
the face broad between the eyes and
slightly dished, while the head is held
neither too high nor too low, the latter
indicating stubbornness. Movements of
ears and body should be rather slow,
quick movements being generally due to
irritability.
Mr.. Nelson tells me that his fiery little
red cow, "Snappy SAL has cost him as
high as IS a season for repairs, while
"Old Moll,' the speckled COW, has not
taken a cent out Of him. Twice this year
Sal has lifted six quarts of milk to the
rafters, including tin pail. and once she
hooked little Charlie in the blouse, but
he escaped.
Yet a COW with a strong nervous sys-
tenn will not convert feed into flesh but
into milk. The face should be clean.
rather long. with large, open nostrils,
the neck, light, quite long, with a de-
preston in front Of shoulder; withers,
sharp; shoulders, light and free from
flesh; Group, high and sharp; hip and
pin bones, sharp; thighs, spare, incurv-
ing and concave on side.
1t is one of the fine arts to select your
COW. It is not SO much a matter Of
breed. There are good cows in all
breeds. But it is necessary to get an
