Violet Culture as Side Issue.

One of our readers, who has pO-
sition in the city but lives in the
country, has been asking for infOrma-
ton upon the growing of viOletS to
supply the markets of Seattle and Ia
coma. He made inquiries and found
that there was a demand for violets
at good prices, and believes that if
he had few hundred plants to which
he could give his spare time he could
add some money to his Golfers. He
will also engage in the raising of
White Plymouth Rock fowls and
Homer pigeons, using limited num-
Der of each-nO more than he can
properly care for without interfering
with his work in town. The plan is
commendable one and could be fol-
lowed with profit by many young men
similarly situated. The work that will
be required is not hard, but it is such
that the man is the better for doing it
and his Office work will be done with
more enthusiasm and in a better way.
The first thing to settle is to find out
how much Of a market there is for
the flowers he intends to raise. That
there is a demand for violets is fact,
and if our correspondent will see his
prospective customers and make ar
rangements for them to take so much
at such and such time, he can go
ahead and raise the flowers with the
full knowledge that they will be taken
when ready. Of course he must ex-
pect to furnish them in the best pos
sible shape, for the market will not
take scrub stuff. If the demand for
his products warrants it a greenhouse
of small proportions might be erected,
where the flowers can be grown in
succession and the market kept con-
stantly supplied.
1t is the presumption that our CORE
spondent has some knowledge of the
culture of violets, but still he would do
we'll to get book on violet growing
and study it carefully. He will also
find much valuable information in one
of the 1904 numbers 1--WE are nuable
to say which, of Country Life in
America This article told of the
various diseases to which the violet
is subject and how to combat them.
For fuller information he might write
to Prof l.. e. Bailey, of Cornell, who
would also be in position to tell where
he might get book devoted to the
subject.

MOST WONDERFUL MACHINE
An Invention Of Mankato Man Is
Fully Explained.
Ur,,;1 Ooil,


The LIE Sueur Tyre mas been taking
liberties with the name of one of Man
kato's respected citizens. Recently the
lie Sueur gentleman wrote the following
for The st. Paul Pioneer Press:
Delosiro Frowiler, an eminent Japan
ese scientist, formerly of Mankato, but
now residing in LIE Sueur, has perfected
and patented what is probably the most
remarkable invention of the age. He
names it the 'spolyglot telephone trans
former" and has formed stock COM
pany and issued 100000 shares of 81
each. The shares now are selling like
hot cakes at 10 per cent above par.
The invention is used as follows:
1t is connected with any ordinary
telephone system, and, when a person
desiring to use telephone has called up a
person he desires to, speak to, if it
should chance that the listener speaks
a foreign language not understood by
the speaker, the speaker presses in a
key in the instrument, marked Ger
man," French" "Latin," Russian" or
any one of fifteen modern or ancient
languages, based on the Greek, Latin
and Teutonic tongues, or derived from
the Aryans, and the machine instantly
transforms the spoken words of the
language used by the speaker into the
words of the language understood by the
listener. 1t will not work on languages
not allied in their basic formation; for
instance, the Chinese and japanese lam
guages cannot be transformed.
Tine machine is wonderful and beau
tiful creation, consisting of twenty
three thousand different parts, and it
makes an adding machine of a type
writer look as simple as a ladder. 1t
stands six feet high and is ten feet
long and four feet deep, inclosed in plate
glass and fairly covered with shifting
devices, knobs and push buttons.
1t is going to be of great use in the
teaching of the different languages, for
all one has to do is to talk English, or
other tongue, into the transmitter, and
mold the receiver to his ear, with the
proper push button in, and he gets the
meaning of what he is saying in Eng
fish handed out to him in the best
French, Norwegian, or whatever Ian
guage he desires.

BRAVE LITTLE MISS.
Minnesota Lake Lass Defends Par
ents' Home Against Robbery.

From FRIDAY > DdiiS
An attempt was made late yesterday
afternoon to rob the dwelling house of
Albert Grover at Minnesota Lake. Little
Mary Grover was home alone and about
three o'clock she heard someone in the
kitchen. On hearing the noise she went
out there expecting to meet her father
or some of the neighbors, but on enter
ing the kitchen she was terrorized to
be face to face with stranger who
demanded something to eat. He was
told that dinner was over and that she
could not get him anything. Then he
demanded money. He was told that she
did not have any, whereupon he said
that she did and that he woul get it
himself and started for her. Mary at
once ran into the bedroom where she
knew the pocketbook was. Instead of
following her he waited until she had
secured it and then he made after her.
But she was too quick for him and
reached the door first and ran to
neighbours house and gave the alarm.
The news was quickly spread and most
all in town were on the lookout and
in search of such a man as they were
given description Of. A search was
made of the house but no money was
missing except silver dollar that was
found up stairs beside an open window
that had been opened by him. the see
tion men reported that stranger had
been seen by them about two miles out
toward Wells and four mcl on hand
car went out and discovered man, but
the man did not answer the descrip-
ton given by Miss Grover and he was
allowed to go his way. Miss Grover
states that the man wore heavy black
beard, was heavy set and had on a
black nat.

Left Suddenly, and Money and
Watches Are Missing.
William Scott and William Wolfe
Are the Victims.
All Employees of Cement Works,
and New Corners.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
A robbery was successfully planned
and executed in LIE Huillier early Sun
day morning, and the perpetrator is still
at liberty. The victims were William
Scott, young Scotchman, and William
Wolf, young Englishman, who came
to the city few days ago from Canada
and got work at the Cement works.
The supposed robber was another en-
ploye at the cement works, one John
Ward, who arrived in the city last
week and went to work Friday morning.
The three men occupied one room at
Mr.. Cummings boarding house in LIE
Huillier.
The robbery was perpetrated some
time between twelve and two o'clock
Sunday morning. Scott and Wolf
awoke to find their roommate gone, and
investigation showed that he had taken
some of their property with him. Scott
lost $25 in currency and Wolf SIS in
currency, and both lost little small
change, but how much they do not
know. Each one lost his watch. Scott's
time piece was an open face silver
watch, with an English lever, and VOLTS
was an Elgin movement, open face sill
yer or silverine watch. Among the
change taken were some foreign coins,
including one japanese, two German
and an English penny and half penny.
1t ought to be easy to identify the men
if they undertake to dispose of the
watches or foreign coins
Ward is described as being FIVE feet,
eight inches tall, weight 100 to Us
pounds, hair dark streaked with gray,
dark mustache, beard of weeks
growth, age forty years, dressed in
dark coat without vest, dark shirt
with collar, red flannel undertaking
and black felt hat. He has an anchor
tottooed upon his right hand, and other
tattoo marks upon his right arm.
The police were notified of the rob-
berry and have taken steps to have Ward
detained if found.
