This thing of fashionable society
women going into the dairy business
as a diversion from dissipation
seems TO be getting epidemic. The
latest announcement is that a Miss
Chanler, member of an old Knicker-
booker family of New York" has
embarked in the business on a large
scale. She is running model
dairy, creamery and stock farm, and
as she enjoys an annual income of
$50, 900, it is hoped she may make
both ends meet. It,is perhaps bet
ter that she should spend her in
come paying dairy help and en-
courging cattle raisers than in Civ
ing late suppers and buying fash
haberdashery. The wealth of the
idle rich can not be better spent
than in encossaging agriculture.

our society leaders are determined
to try their hands at dairying it will
be well for them to go to school
awhile before embarking too deep
in the undertaking. The first thing
to do is to unlearn about all they
have learned before and acquire an
entirely new stock of knowledge.
To start with, my lady" will
have to contract new habits. In
stead OF staying up all night and re-
firing about 4 o'clock, she will have
to exactly reverse the custom by
retiring at sundown and rising
with the lark. Nor can she leave
everything TO the help, but will
have to take hold herself, at least
by actual personal superintendence.

apt to find that there are leaks

SHORES BEsTED ROOT.
Blue Earth County Wrestler Wins a
Match at Bemidji.

From Mondays Daily.
Jack Root and r. B. Shores met on the
mat at the City Opera House on Satur-
day evening for a trial of skill and
strength in wrestling and gave the small
crowd present one of the squarest
matches ever pulled off in the city. j.
E. Egan of ST.. Paul was the referee
and gave the word at 9:45. The first
bout was stubborn contest and lasted
for fifteen minutes, the fall going to
Shores. 1t was a catch-as- catch can
contest and every hold except the
strange was tried. Shores won the
next bout in six minutes and Root got
"a fall after fifteen minutes in the third.
The fourth was over with in less than a
minute and went to Shores. Root is a
gamey wrestler and made splendid
showing against the superior weight of
his adversary. Root weighed in at l4S
and Shores at l69 f. C. Hallett acted
as Roots manager and at the conclusion
of the main bout Shores challenged f,
c. Hallett to a match for 5000 at any
time, any place or right here at this
time. A sport in the crowd suggested
that since Hallett had offered $25 to. any
one in the town who would stand
against him for fifteen minutes without
fall that he take on with Shores
This brought Hallett to the front anG
he stated that his offer was for loca
talent but that if agreeable he would
| give an exhibition with Shores for 6
ten minute bout. The two men went
on and without a referee gave thu
crowd little more for their money
Jack Root is local favorite but not il
the class with Shores. Shores told tn,
Sentinel that he would give E.
Hallett match for $500 or any part o
it and agree to throw him sixty time
in sixty minutes. The match may b.
arranged at Hanks pleasure. -Bemidj
