The Stun Child in the Country
ON the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
AT luncheon given by Mrs Alice Bar
Der stephens, the illustrator, at her new
home at Moylan. the talk turned for a
while to the various charitable societies
that give Stun children outings in the
country in the summer.
Remarkable instances were narrated OF
Stun children's ignorance of country life
their idea that milk was an extract OF the
milkweed, that egss came from the egg
plant, that mush was a product of the
mushroom, and so on.
Those instances" said Mrs. Stephens,
are old and well known. But let me tell
you of a new one that happened last sum
mer.
"A little East Side boy was On mis- first
country excursion. He lay on the grass
in a peach orchard making chain OF
daisies and buttercups. Across the blue
sky line OF birds darted, and his hostess,
q young woman. said:
Look up. Look up. Johnny See tho
pretty birds flying through the air
Tommy looked up quickly, and then he
said in a compassionate tone:
Poor little fellersi They amt got no
cages. have they?"

RIVALRY BETWEEN PORTS.
One Controlled by American and the
Other by British Capital.

The rivalry which has long existed be-
tween the ports of Cartagena and Barran-
quilla. one practically controlled by Amer
lean capital and the other by British capt
tai. Is the subject of a report from Z. =.
Consul General Snyder at Bogota. He says
this rivalry has been powerfully accentu-
ated lately by the publication of an OFFER
by Mr.. J. T. Ford. vice president and gen
eral manager OF the American companies in
Cartagena. unique In its kind. which offers
reduction of III per cent of the duties on
all merchandise shipped by way of Carta-
gena. This peculiarly powerful weapon
now in the hands OF the American compa-
MES, Mr.. Snyder says. is the combined re-
suit of the settlement of the claims of tho
Cartagena companies against the govern
ment of Colombia. by which they were paid
S4I6,425 In wales de extranjeros' Qorelgn
bonds or custom house bonds). according TO
law - of 1903. and the Ingenuity of MIR.
Ford In arriving at plan for lquidatlng
these wales, which up to this time have
been at great discount. for very little dis
count, and at the same time using them for
the signal advantage of Carta gena.
These plans says the consul general,
will undoubtedly cause a struggle with the
Barranquilla people, who will do everything
possible to checkmate their competitors.
Mr.. Ford. however, seems confident of the
power of his companies to overcome the
Barranquilla competition. The Cartagena
route has preliminary advantage In that
all the companies-river. harbor and rail-
road-are under one management. whereas
in Barranquilla there is no connection be-
tween the railway and river companies.
therefore, the first step to any concerted
action would be some form of amalRama-
ton. This. Mr.. Ford thinks, would be very
difficult to bring about. in view OF the num-
Der OF Barranquilla steamboat companies
existing apart from the railroad and the
conflicting interests of the commission mer-
chants there"

MODERN DENTISTRY.
Porcelain Inlays Made Nowadays That
Perfectly Match the Teeth.

From the New York Sun
1T used to be-" said the dentist, that
everybody wanted his front teeth filed with
gold: but now there plenty Of people
who regard gold filings that show as I'M
slightly. and who have their front teeth
filed, and built up II required, with porce-
lain. which matches the teeth in color.
This porcelain work is one of the later ad-
vances in the development OF modern dem
tistry.
in filling a tooth with gold we drill out
the cavity to make 1t larger within than
at the opening. but the cavity for a porce-
laln filing is made slightly larger at the
opening than at the base. The porcelain
filing is held In place. not by tho narrow
ing in OF its retaining walls at the opening,
as Is the case with other filings, but by
cement.
with the cavity for porcelain filing
prepared, matrix or impression OF It is
taken with a tiny sheet of platinum foil
which is of the thickness of onc-thousandth
of an inch. Then you select the porcelain
material from which the filing is to be
made. 1t comes IN powder.
Peoples teeth vary in color and art-
fetal teeth are supplied in pretty nearly IN
Vulnerable varieties of shape and size and
color and shade and spacing These por-
many different shades, and Ii the right
shade cannot be found among the stand
ard powders then the shade desired can be
produced by mixing. Ii is quite practicable
to find a powder or to make mixture that
will match any tooth perfectly
out of this powder an inlay is baked
which fits the cavity in the tooth perfect
" IL the work has been done properly. The
inlay, as / said is held In place by adhc-
sion, with cement. There are many shades
of porcelain material there are also made
inlay cements of many shades. The proper
shade Of cement having been selected and
the surface around the cavity and that of
the back Of the inlay having been suitably
rouShened to make the cement hold the
better, you mix the cement and apply /.
and set the inlay into place there TO be
held until the cement has hardened
porcelain Is also used in building IN
back teeth, but II Is used more for inlays
in front teeth, where other kinds of filings
would show. The making of these fulavs
calls for the exercise of fine art and skin:
but the modern dentist fills these REQUIRE
ments and makes porcelain inlays whose
presence would not be discovered exceDt
upon the closest inspection"

A Batch of Biscuit,

From the New York Tribune
Gov. McLane of New Hampshire was

use the broad a. he said, "and to talk in
every way like oxford graduates. The
broad "a is all very well. and the Oxford

WELLS METHODISTS ACTIVE,
Haise GoodIy Sum for Their Church:
Services on Sunday Last.


The services at the Methodist church
Sunday were of unusual interest. DIR.
j. F. Stout, presiding Elder of the st.
Paul district occupied the pulpit and
preached two sermons that will live in
the memories of those who were present
to hear them. Rev. Peter Clare of the
Mankato district was present and assist
ed in the services. The musical programs
were much enjoyed. Miss Hanson's solo
Sunday morning was worthy of special
mention. An orchestra consisting of Mr..
Purdy, cornet; Miss Matthews, Mr.. Gar
lock and Mr.. Holm, violins; and Mr..
Fred Hanson, cello; greatly assisted in
the praise service Sunday evening. The
pastor asked for subscription toward
the debt on the church building and
though the rain and mud prevented the
attendance of many who would gladly
have contributed, the subscriptions for
the day amounted to $l,3O3, splendid
offering for the congregation present,
and has been increased about 800 more
since then.-Wells Forum.

EVERY REPORT is GOOD .
This Brief Dispatch Received Regard
ing Crops Of Western Canada.

In order to secure the attention of the
reader to any special article that is
brought before the public, it is often
the custom to lead the reader on by the
introduction of an interesting story un-
til, by one bold jump, he is introduced
to the subject that it is desired shall
be brought to his notice. This is not
fair to the reader, and it is not the in
tention to do that in this article. 1t
will discuss in the briefest way 'West
ern Canada" and its possibilities for
settlement. For the past six or seXen
years the government of the Dominion
of Canada has talked of the resources of
western Canada to the readers of this
this and thousands of other papers
throughout the United States. The
quality of the soil was spoken of, the
large area of fertile lands was discuss
ed, the possibilities of the country as a
grain growing district were talked of,
and the story of the success of farm
ers from the United States was told.
The story is not yet an old one. The
two hundred thousand from the United
States, who have made Western Canada
their home, who have taken advantage
of the l60 acres of land that the gov
eminent gives free to actual settlers,
are telling the story today to their
friends. They have proven the state
ments made through these columns aud
by the government agents. They have
produced from their land twenty, thir-
ty, forty and more bushels of wheat to
the acre, and Melted profits ranging
from three to ten and more dollars on
every acre titled.
But what may be said of this year.
We are now in a position to speak re-
garding it. The conditions throughout
Manitoba and the new provinces of Al
berta and Saskatchewan have been re-
markably favorable. Had conditions
been not better than in past years, there
would have been every cause for con-
graduation. We find though, all prev
ious records broken, and that from a
four million acre crop of wheat there
will be one hundred million bushels of
a yield-or 25 bushels to the acre. Could
anything better be desired? Covering
the entire country the same splendid
reports are being received.

GOOD SEED CONTEST.
Minnesota School Of Agriculture Ha.
a New Scheme On.

Minnesota School Of Agriculture Has
New Scheme On.
A good-seed contest has been annoanc-
ed by the Minnesota school of agricul
ture, designed to help in achieving the
double increasing the yield of grain in
the state, in practical and successful
farming and increasing the yield of
grain in the state.
Prizes amounting to $1,000 will be
given, and pupils of rural schools will
be eligible to the contest. They will
enter by filling out blanks which they
can obtain from the county superintend
ent.
Wheat, oats and corn will be the
kinds of seeds to be contested for, anil
contestants may choose either or all
of these grains. They are expected to
obtain their own seed, but the instruc
tions urge them to get the best. Prof.
C. P. Bull of the state farm school is
pureparing a bulletin which will give
the instructions and rules for the con-
test The bulletin will also give sim
pie test rules for the three grains, and
will be put up in such form that it can
be used for class work with view to
introducing the study of elementary
agriculture into the rural schools.
The seed is to be planted in plats of
fourth or half an acre. Meetings will
be held in each of the counties at which
the. grain raised will be judged. A
program of speeches and entertainment
will be provided on Judging day, and in
this way hundreds will be drawn to the
exhibitions of the grains raised. In this
way farmers are to be educated in the
results that will follow from good seed.
Judges will be appointed by the school
of agriculture.
The winners will participate in the
state contest. Their samples will be sent
in and judged at the State Field and
Crop Breeders association meeting in
January. The contest will be kept up
for three years, and if the results are
satisfactory it may be prolonged for an
indefinite period.

He admits that he did not ask for work
at any place. He is twentyfour years
old, rather small, and talks with a
Scandinavian accent, although he claims
he cannot speak Norwegian.
Elliot is eighteen years old, and also
seems to be a Scandinavian, although
he denies that he is. He claims to be a
broncho buster, but looks like doing
anything but that. He is smooth faced,
small, and has scar on his left cheek.
The two men say that they went to
bed at six o'clock on the evening that
the checks were passed, as they were
going to get up early to take the $40
a. m. train. They went to Red Wing
| from Mankato, and thence to Mime
apolis, and then to La Crosse. They
came to Mankato from Minneapolis, but
deny passing any checks there.
At La Crosse they registered at no.
tel with the same names that they used
in Mankato. They had passed check
for $l4 and another was out and I'M
accounted for, when they were arrest
ed, so Sheriff Williams learned. They
were arrested on the description cent out
from Mankato. They were having gay
time at La Crosse and had spent $65 in
two or three days.
1t is thought that Elliot wrote the
checks, and that Jacobson passed them,
vet jacobson claims that Elliot can
hardly write. The two men sent for
Pau & Pau to defend them.
Charles Jones saw the two men at
the Jail today and identified jacobson
as the man who entered Browns sa-
loon, where he is employed as bar tend
er, and attempted to pass a check for
$264O. This was on the evening the
two checks were passed.
There is some reason to believe that
Elliot intends to make a clean breast
of the whole affair this afternoon.
The La Crosse Chronicle says:
George Munroe and Samuel Jacobsen
arrested by the police early Wednes-
day morning for forgery at Mankato,
Mimi, are wanted throughout the entire
northwest for committing similar crimes.
Terms in the penitentiary which will
keep the youths in Jail for the remain
der of their lives confront them.
Chief of Police Byrne has completed
list of the towns where the youths
