Count the Living,

When farmers get blue thinking
about the drawbacks they have, why
should they net think a little about
the good things they get fr. m the
farm? 1t is increased on an average
~ per cent over q few years ago.
This affects rcnts, all XII ds of vege.
tables, fuel and breadstuffs. Men
Tho work by the day, or who live
where they must buy everything they
eat, although in many instances re.
ceiving better wages than formerly,
are yet unable to save any more than
they did when they were get ing less.
The farmer is out OF reach of these
harassing circumstances. H. has his
house. No one can roust him out al
the dead OF night, and tell him t, hurt
up new home. Almost everything
be uses on the table is grown on the
farm. Potatoes, eggs, meats, often

vegetables, he has for the growing.

Father Beret came just In time
to make it count against that
courageous and bellicose mis-
sionary in more ways than one. Farms
worth did not tell Hamilton or any
other person about what the priest had
done, but nursed his sore ribs and his
wrath, waiting patiently for the re-
venge that he meant soon to take.
Alice heard from Adrienne the story
Of Farnsworth's conduct and his hu.
initiating discontinue at the hands Of
Father Beret. She was both indignant
and delighted, sympathizing with
Adrienne and glorying in the priests
vigorous pugilistic achievement.

her infectious trills Of laughter. 80 far
the French have the best Of it, any
way. Papa Roussillon knocked the
governors cheek nearly off, then Rene
cracked the Irish corporars head, and
now Father Beret has taught Captain
Farnsworth lesson in fsticuffs that
he'll not soon forget II the good work
can only 60 on little longer We shall
see every English soldier In Vincennes
wearing the mark of Frenchman's
blow" Then her mood suddenly
changed from smiling lightncss to al
most fierce gravity. and she added:
"Adrienne Bourcier, II Captain
Farnsworth ever offers to treat me as
he did you, mark my words, tn kill
him-kill him! Indeed l will! You
ought to see me!'
Adrienne, looking at her friend with
round, admiring eyes. HE knows
very we'll that you are not little and
hmid like me. He'd be afraid Of you -
II wish he would try it. How l
would love to shoot him into pieces,
the hateful wretch! Iwish he would
The French inhabitants all, or nearly
all, felt as Alice did, but at present
they were helpless and dared not say
or do anything against the English.
Nor was this feeling confined to the
creoles of. Vincepnes; it had spread to
most of the points where trading posts
existed. Hamilton found this out too
late to mend some Of his mistakes, but
he set himself; on the alert and. organ
lied scouting bodies Of Indians under
white officers TO keep him informed
al to the American movements in Ken
tucky and along the Ohio. One OF these
bands brought In as captive Colonel
Francis Yigos of st. Louis, a Spantard

Farnsworth was on his guard in 4
twinkling. He set his jaw and uttered
an ugly oath; then quick as lightning
he struck sidewise at the pistol with
his blade. 1t was a move which might
have taken less alert person than
Alice unawares, but her training in
sword play was ready III her wrist and
hand. An involuntary turn, the slight
est imaginable, set the heavy barrel Of
her weapon strongly against the blow,
partly stopping it, and then the gaping
muzzle spat it's load of balls and slugs
with a below that awoke the drowsy
old village.
Farnsworth staggered backward, let
ting fall his sword. There was Il rent
In the clothing of his left shoulder. He
reeled, the blood spun out, but he did
not fall, although he grew white.
Father Beret sprang nimbly to sus-
tain Farnsworth, snatching up the
pistol as he passed around Alice.
You are hurt, my son." he gently
said. "Let me help you" He passed his
arm firmly under that of Farnsworth,
seeing that the captain was unsteady
on his feet.
Lean upon me. Come with me,
Alice, my child. and I will take him
into the house"
Alice picked up the captains sword
and led the way.
It was all done 50 quickly that Farms

scarcely realized what was going on

b Kind to tho Animals.

At various places in Throndbjem,
Norway, are posted large placards
bearing requests to be kind to animals.
At one place the placard bears the
following inscriptions:
PRAYER OF THE HORSE
Give me plenty of food and water at
the proper times.
Don't jerk the lines.
Don't whip me up when ascending q
steep hill.
Don't put on too heavy q load.
Always have me we'll shod.

for you. You know l cannot tell OF
my sufferings, but God will reward
you according to your treatment OF
me. At last, when I can no longer
work, end my life as mercifuily as
possible.
Another placard reads as follows

the PUBLIC AND GREEN LAKE,

The Incorporation of the Green
Lake shore as asked for by the Spicer
citiztns is matter in which the county
board and all officials acting for the
public in general should exercise the
greatest caution. Green Lake is the
pearl among the beautiful lakes of the
state. Compared with it Lake Harriet,
Como and other boosted of resorts are
mud-holes. Green Lake is the com
mon property of all the citizens of the
country, and will be more highly
priced from year to year. Eventually,
it will be surrounded by beautiful sum-
mer homes con nected with electric ca
lines. Free public access to the lake
is necessary in order that the beauties
of the lake can be enj Dyed by all,
rich and poor alike. That any por
ton of the public highway that had
been established along the shore
should have been removed there from
is an outrage upon the interests of
the public, ard in every such case
legal action should be taken now, If
possible, to recover the same
If it were practicable to condemn for
public park purposes the entire shore
lire Of the lake, or at least consider
able portions of the same, the movers
in the matter would be classed as
great public benefactors fifty years
hence. We speak of this for no per-
sonal interest, and we know We speak
the sentiments of hundreds of our fell
low citizens OF the county, who are
not directly interested in Green Lake
property.
It is q mistaken idea that it is detri-
mental to lot owners to have the drive.
way between them aud the lake The
only proper way is that the cottages
be built fronting both the boulevard
and the lake. Now those who wish to
enjoy drive along the lake, along
the built up portions, must be content
to catch q glimpse of the lake from
behind outbuildings and back yard
rubbish. A slovenly or careless]y
kept lot destroys the beauty of the
beach. Last summer, we found it i'm
possible to take good views of scme
of the prettiest spots because OF the
uses to which lot owners had put
their lake front.
The matter of the jurisdiction of the
lake shore is important. The TR1-
BUNE doubts not that the Spicer resi-
denis are moving in good faith, but
whether they will be able to enforce
better order than the township govern
mebts have heretofore is QUESTIONED 9.
OF course only such people as have a
permanent residence within the terri.
tory to be set off would have q vOict
in the government of the same. E ,ery
precautionary step possible should be
taken to conserve to the general pub
lie of the county the benefits and pleas
ure of the lake.

The papers report that Mayor
Haynes of Minneapolis will close the
resorts Oh Main street, which SUBJ
ject has been agitated for the past six
months. Chief Conroy of the police
department holds that the dives should
be given ninety days notice before
they be required to obey the law.
Neither of these officials seem to feel
that the other resorts which flourish
throughout the town, some OF them on
the business streets, ought to be re.
quired to regard the ordinance.

There is an item going the rounds
of the papers setting forth that rail
roads are worse than war in point OF
casualties There were some, the
item says, 1854 persons killed by the
railroads in the United States during
the year ending June 30, 1908. These
fatalities are sufficient t, justify the
famous 'pstent coupler" paragraph
in Grover Cleveland's message some
years. Statistics which may be taken
as reasonable accurate indicate that

of deaths every day. Moreover the

much thanks. The place Of such q
m achine politician as Martin on that
board was huge mistake. 1t tended
to make people believe that the board
would be made a powerful political
m lchine, instead OF a nonpartisan
body that would manage the state in.
stitutions on business basis. And
such would undoubtedly have been the
result but for the fact that in the course
oftime Leavitt has become the real, liv-
ing, acting part of the board, and he
not being repub 'ican was not inter.
ested in using the board for any other
purpose than what it was ere eted for.
Jacobson has q good record as an
enemy of extravaganza du ing his
serv ce in the legislature, and If he
keeps up to the standard established
by himself the majority of the board
will at end strictly to business.
That was probably net the main
consideration in the appointment OF
the sweet voiced statesman of Lac qui
Parle. So many appointm ents made
by Van SAINT have turned out unpopu-
lar that it was probably thought
necessary to make popular appoint
ment at this time. Jake has | is of
friends, and it is figured that this
appointment will tie him and his ad-
mirers to the chariot driven by Van
SAINT, with Collins as understudy.
These resignations and appointment
make it very clear that Van SAINT has
fixed upon Collins as the heir pre-.
sumptive to his throne Collins will
henceforth have the support of the

as he considered such an appointment
an unfair ad Vantage for the one who

it was therefore his desire that thu
