the Farmers Land and Cattle company
of st. Paul bought the entire acreage
of the land grant in Pine county,
amounting to about two hundred and
fifty thousand acres, and placed it on
the market. Farms in the vicinity of
older communities over on the North

the county on the Great Northern, went
first rate, but there was nothing at
Bruno, and settlers did not head for
this corner of the county until the COM

The officers of the company realized
that settlers would not be attraeterd
to farms outside the immediate vicin-

accessible. Having practically all of

they will not be yoked up with the
people of New Mexico as proposed by

mittee and as has been attempted by

ABOUT CAVE
JEWELLERS

The term ''cave-dwellers, which
is applied to a certain circle in Wash
ington society, is mystifying. Not
long ago, it is related in the February
Delineator, a newcomer in the capital
city heard the name and determined
to get at the bottom OF it. When she
finally met one of the real cave dwell
lers, a stately old dame, she asked
her point blank why she called herself
a cave dweller, and the answer clears
away the mystery surrounding the
nickname, which. although it was de
risively bestowed, is now regarded as
hall mark of distinction aud exclu-
siveness.
81 dwell in Cave-town," said the
little old lady, "far up on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, near the line of George
town. Washington, you must know,
has been this many a year a bit too
garish for some of US old residents,
and like David, we have gone to our
caves. You know about David, my
dear, who took refuge from Saul in
the cave of Adullam. Well. many of
US have fed from Saul, Saul being in
this case in Washington-new rich
people with more money! than man
ners, with more pride than pedigree,
with more dinners than digestion !;
therefore, We have fed to our caves.
There are many kinds of cave jewellers
in Washington, 1t is an honorable
appellation and is assumed by many
who really should not claim it, but it
has become rather a generic name. 1t
was meant in reality only to cover the
names OF gentlefolk of hig dergee and
long lineage, who cannot subscribe to
the vulgar ostentatiOn of the idle
new-ricb who have come to our capital
city and set up their paalces. There
are many estimable, moderately rich
people here who take refuge behind
the appelIation of cave jewellers when
they have no lineage behind them
whatsoever.
