Was Used to Autos But Could Not
}. Stand Sight Of Cow.
A country storekeeper down on
Long Island who has had a lot OF
trouble because his horses refused to
get used to automobiles came to town
the other day and bought horse
which had been condemned by a de.
partment store. Although the ami.
NAL wasn't fit6 for a delivery wagon
in New York, he was all right for
that kind of work in the country.
While the native horsesfdown on Long
Island were doing all sorts of stunts
when they met an automobile on the
road, the New York CASTOR trotted
.serenely by the biggest and noisiest
machine seen In that locality. 10
The storekeeper has the laugh on
his rivals. He was so pleased that
he decided to sell his other horses
and put city nags in their place. But
his JOY didn't last long: The first time
the ex-department store steed met a
cow he cut up worse capers than any
native horse did over an automobile

A FREAK MOOSE.
A Hunting Story. One Also on Our
Comfy Attorney

A Hunting Story. One Also on Our
County Attorney.
Judge Middlecoff, who can usually be
depended on by the Duluth reporter for
string of interesting. stuff, gives the
Duluth Herald a story about a freak
moose that is roaming the woods near
Cross River, which has been seen by
many hunters. Judge Mlddlecoff says
that all the hunters in that section are
after that particular moose.
The freak is said to be bull moose
of fairly good size, with legs and belly
half way up its sides almost perfectly
white in color. The back and upper
part of the moose, instead of being
black, or q dark color, as is usually the
case, is claimed to be a sort of red, or, as
Judge Middlecof expressed 1t, a bright
bay color.
He also tells how our county attorney
helped to run moose down for another
party of hunters. The county attorney
Of Lake county and Mr.. McAlpine, had
been following a moosa nearly all day,
tramplng about fourteen miles. The
animal they had been following happen
ed to como out on. the road close to
Capt. CLOVIS party as they we're heading
into the country to hunt, and they fred
several shots at it, but as it disappeared
they had no idea that they had wounded
it.
The animal ran back from the road
for O distance when it was headed BY
some homesteaders and came back to
the road close to Capt. CLOVIS party
again. They began shooting but dis
covered that the animal was nearly all
in by reason of the bullet wounds it had
received on the first fusilade. They had
no more than killed it when up came
the two county attorneys. who had been
following the moose all day, only to find
it in the possession of others, practically
through accident.

4 TALK FOR CRoAKERs.
A Boosters Plain Talk to I Knocker.
"A Lie on the Face of it, 4

q Lie on the Face Of It. = 4
1n the course Of conversation among
the guests at . local hotel the other day
the talk turned to the agricultural pos.
sibilities Of Cook county. I .E25. E2.
One had seen just as good dent corn
raised in Northern Minnesota as can be
grown anywhere. And there was no
doubt In his mind that the soil in Cook
county is as we'll, it not better, adapted
to vegetable growth. Another had seen
and was. therefore, convinced that no
better grain or vegetables are raised
than grow in this county. The north
eru grown vegetables are better favored
than the southern variety. The short
ness OF the season is NO bar to the suc-
cess of gardening and farming, because
it is we'll known fact that vegetation
natures more rapidly in the cooler eli
mate.
Asa clincher of this latter assertion
it was referred to as fact that Wiscon-
sin has become one If the greatest to-
bacco growing states in the Union, that
as good binders and filters are raised
there as anywhere on earth. Yet it is
not q very long time ego that tobacco
was considered distinctly Southern
product. And he ventured to say that it
can be successfully raised IN Cook
county.
As the exchange Of views between
these enthusiasts reached the tobacco
stage a fourth individual, with "three
sheets in the wind" undertook to con-
vince the bunch that they were on the
wrong tack Tobacco! None of them
could tell him anything about tobacco.
He knew all about tobacco. He was
born in old Virginia, the great tobacco
state, and the thought of raising tobacco
in Cook county simply made him smile.
In fact, he hadn't been convinced that
anything can be raised in Cook county.
This called from one of the party short
talk that every croaker everywhere
ought to take to heart. With force
that was meant To make the Virginian
understand, he tackled him in this fash
ion:
"That's lie on the face of it. If you
didn't find this a good enough place to
live in you wouldn't stay here. II Vir-
ginia is better why don't you 20 back
there? For Gods sake stand up for
the country you make your living in.
II you can't do that, If you think some
other place is better get out Of here and
60 there. That's all have to say about
it,"
There is merit in this volley aimed at
the Virginian. It means, in short. that
IF you can't boost don't knock"

Grand Marais friends of Mrs. J. II.

the help of Duluth relatives, she has re-
covered the three Youngest of her chill
dren, brother and sister becoming re-
sponsible for their proper care. The
two Oldest have been placed in the state
school at Owatonna.
Arrangements are all complete for the

be the best that can be had, and lunch
will be served in the hall. Everybody
is cordially invited. The management
is in the hands of competent commit
tee of three and an excellent social time
is assured.
The city papers appear to be "wising
up on the sportsmen, so called, who go
to the woods and get their moose ready
killed, at 80 much per head, from the
native hunters. This sort of sport is not
generally admired, although it is hard,
at times to tell real sportsman from a
faklr. 1t wouldn't be polite, nor always
safe, to inquire of the ''successful" hunt
or whether he got his moose in tree or
otherwise.

homesteaders, came up from .Hovland
Thursday afternoon on the Bon Ami

A party was given at the home of Mrs.
