Embroidered Initials.

What blessing to womankind are the
embroidered washable initials for mark
ing linen! Some new style letters are
soon to 60 on the market, and they are
so lacelike and lovely that they leave
absolutely nothing to be desired in the
way of ready prepared, dainty white let
ters for undergarments, linens and deco
rative uses. With the new transpar-
ent medallions and the very great vari-
ETY. already at hand the busy woman who
has neither time nor skill to give to
hand marking, and the many others who
cannot afford to pay for the work out
side, can identify everything they pos
sess neatly and most pleasingly.

FROM THE COUNTY
Thief Lake.

|
March 27:-As it is very seldom
we hear anything in your paper
from the garden spot in Marshall
county, if not in the whole state of
Minnesota, we feel it our duty to
turn loose a few remarks about our
hidden land, where all good men,
young and old, can find a standing
offer for an independent life, ac-
companied by all kinds of original
prosperity and success. .
Last year some of our people
turned their backs to the Thief
Lake vicinity, where his majesty of
all wise dwells, and went to Canada,
| but to their own sorrow have al
ready found out their mistake in
leaving this locality, where COWS
wallow in the luscious grasses, and
Pete and Pat have gooseberry
patches Of their own, and this very
hour some of these former Minne-
sofa people and old time neighbors
are returning from Canada, broken
hearted, and in piercing death
tones saying, land now I have no
more to keep me there
Peter G.. Svenson, our school
teacher, finished a successful term
of school March II.
John Walberg, of Snake, Minn.,
was here some time ago, his first
visit to this part Of the country.
He did like himself very much here
and very likely in the near future
will be a bona fide land owner in
this settlement.
Olson and Co. shipped three car
loads Of underweights and roughs
last week to St. Paul, but the re-
suit is not known and may never be
known neither.
It is said that Sjoberg's counter
jumper has made up his mind to
form a trust; with whom the writer
can't say.
T. O. Moe our bonanza farmer, is
going to break up the rest Of his
farm the comming summer.
One of the hardest fought law
suits on record in this part of the
country was before Justice Nels
Aug. Olson's court some days ago,
in an action for labor performed, the
parties being Rudolph Ehermann,
Pltiff. VS.. Mathew Lynch, Def't.
Mr.. H. w. Lee, of Thief River Falls,
a refined gentleman and a very able
lawyer, appeared for the Def't; the
Pptiff., was assisted by Emil Lind.
The case was very ably handled on
both sides and fought inch by inch
and ended in verdict for Pl'tiff.
E. G. Wetdin is turning out lum-
Der by the tens of thousands.
Our legal light got a case here the
other day that proved too much for
him, and sent the party to Warren
to be dealt with in Hon. Judge
Grindeland's court, and get his ver-
dict, in due course of business.
Our town election passed off now
as usually in the past, quietly and
peacefully. The old officers we're
reelected except John Berg, elected
poundmaster. He had landslide
and ran way ahead of his ticket.
The Office seeks the man.
If the peoples will is law we will
soon have daily mail service from
Gatzke to Middle River.
Pat, disappointed by the returns,
is soon going to leave for Los Ange-
les for better treatment.
Ole O. Bjorgum is going to leave
us, in the near future, for the far
northland making one good bona
fide settler less to our community.

amounts to this. The west Is

he or his father came from.
So II comes to pass that the west
has no fixed geographical limits
like the south and New England.
Il IL something more than a
geographical term. Like Boston,
II IL a state Of mind. There are
mountains and rivers and e n
within the limits of which this
state OF mind Is prc-cmincntly to

In other regions as we'll. You can
