FAST SPREADING OUT
Suburban Electric Lines Result in New
Population Movements.

Glasgow only complaint against it's
too complete. The resultant action is
toward the depletion Of the population
of Glasgow in favor of suburbs. Real
estate men are beginning to wonder if
the. same complaint will not soon be
registered against the street railway
cow charges that it leaves a smaller
population to bear the same load of
taxation. The tendency is becoming the
same in Minneapolis.
Many business Minneapolitans claim
residence at Tonka Bay and at Deep
CRATE election days and vote, altho the
summer season Of habitation has been
long ended. Improving transportation
facilities tend to make the habitation
period outside the city limits 365 days
long instead of four months. This is
the present condition, with the street
railway company only at the edge Of its
development. President Thomas Lowry
has prophesied that in the near future
the most complete suburban systems in
the country: The outcome in its effect
on the distribution of the population of
Minneapolis, is easily prophesied: Hun
dreds will prefer to live at Anoka, Os-
SEQ, Robbinsdale, Excelsior, Red Wing,
Lake ClCy, hdSC1uSS, Adhe JOuduuet, duu
other points on the network Of pro-
jected electric lines, as many do now
at Merriam and st. Anthony Parks.
Already many of the everyday workers
of Minneapolis live on the T. B. Walker
electric line at Hopkins, or interme-
date points.
E.. G. Walton has evolved tremen-
dous scheme for a Scotch syndicate
which is landscaping big tracts inter
mediate to Lake Minnetonka, where
taxes are lower and land may be cult
waited in small gardens. This was de-
pendent on the building Of the electric
line. G. I. Fuller has already put un-
der way fine plan for large lots and
good homes just across the city's bor-
der, as a direct result of the revival
of the Excelsior line. His Morningside
addition will claim many ,Minneapoi-
tans on account Of low taxes. What
the result will be when the Tonka line
is in full operation can well be mag
med, as even now. the. wagon road, with
is lined for miles with fine homes at
close intervals.
The rapid decentralization of modern
life is already witnessed in the evolu-
tion of the use of the automobile,
which makes it possible for tired city
workers to recuperate nightly on subur-
ban farms. While the suburban steam
railway service has helped to produce
the result towards which metropolitan
life is rapidly tending the automobile
and the electric line has removed the
suburbanite from annoying dependence
on stated time schedules. This freedom
| is wonderfully effective in promoting
suburban residence.

it was discovered that most of it was
antique and of great value. Sixty cha J

brought $500. The furniture had been
in the building for decades, nobody

walled Town in Britain.

In the old days when might was
right the city that was walled about
was common enough, but there are
serve their walls at the present day.
OF those few, undoubtedly the most
unique is Berwick-upon-Tweed, the old
Border town, which has occupied
many a page Of the past history Of
the United Kingdom, and which to
this very day enjoys the distinction of
special mention as a place apart from
the United Kingdom in every royal
proclamation issued. Here the old
battlements built In the time of Queen
Elizabeth remain intact, with all but
one of the ancient gateways, and even
In some cases the very ponderous
gates themselves on their old rusty
hinges. In reality there are two
walls, the outside and older one, of
which now only some fragments re-
main standing. dating back to the far
or times Of Edward l., who in the
great hall of Berwick Castle-only a
small part OF which now remains
decreed that Ballot should be King OF
Scotland, decree which, as every
schoolboy knows, was soen set at def
ance by the Bruce and his hardy war
riors- On this outer line OF the RAM
parts still stands the tower in which
the warning notes Of the war bell
were rung to denote the approach of
an enemy, an object naturally of great
interest to all visitors to the town.

Girl Runs a Mine.

In these days Of plucky young wom-
en-, Madge Picker, daughter of the
one-time wellknown member of Con-
gress, deserves a place in the front
rank. From mistress of her fathers
mansion in Falkton, S. D., to a cabin
in the Rocky mountains is the change
that has come about. Miss Picker
is at ST. Peters Dome, on the Cripple
Greek short line. The shaft of the
mine has now been sunk to a depth
that makes it no longer a prospect. 1t
is a real mine and there is lots of ore
in sight. Miss Picker is her own SUI
perintendent. She has force Of men
at work, but every morning dons a
miners garb and, with lighted can
die, goes down into the mine and
spends the day underground. She is
musical, too, and when the miners are
through the days work she brings her
guitar and sings to them the music she
learned at her fathers home from IA
nous teachers.

Snoons for Shoe Horns.

You've seen the girl who is at the
mercy of shoe horn. If she has lost
or forgotten her own, she goes from
room to room, seeking to beg, borrow
or steal one, as if pair Of slippers
might not actually be gotten on with
out shoe horn.
Now, here is pointer for her. If
you can't get shoe horn, use spoon.
This is what college girls do, and they
find it just as convenient as the arti-
Gle designed for that purpose.
Not teaspoon, but tablespoon
Put the handle into the heels o. the
slipper and use it just as you do shoe
horn. When the shoe is on the spoon
handle really comes out easier than q
shoe horn.
OF course, this is merely a substi-
tute, but if there doesn't happen to be
a shoe horn around, it's handy to
know about the useful spoon.-Phila.

Don't BE Discontented.

The married woman nowadays is
frequently the discontinued woman.
And the reason is that she has made
the great mistake in allowing herself
to say disconnected words and think
disconnected thoughts, until imaginary
grievances have become genuine ones.
In all the wide world there is moth
ing so precious as a gocd mans love;
nothing can equal that, and the woman
who cries out because her home is not
SO fine as her neighbours, or because
she has not SO many dresses, and is
discontinued with her lot, will find that
she will gradually estrange the love
that is hers.

diately about Mr.. Mason. What could
he find to laugh at in the hearty execra-
ton Of the crowd about him7
One more sale was announced by the
sheriff. And now there was a hitching
forward of the chairs occupied by the
gentlemen in the doorway. Mr.. Biler
was regarding Mr.. Mason over the heads
of part of the audience with an odd
smile of cunning, wonder, amusement
and admiration. Lizzy could see this
look; for Mr.. Biler had stepped out be-
side the sheriff with a paper in his hand,
upon which something was sccawled that
looked like figures. What did that look
mean? Was there still another surprise
and menace for Mr.. Mason?
She hardly heard the rapid call of the
sheriff. In fact, thinking about the inn
minent peril in which Mr.. Mason had
just been; and then of the great execrs-
ton in which this impulsive assemblage
evidently held him, she could only burden
her mind with devising ways for his es-
cape. o, that he had remained away!
o. that he had never come!
And so she had failed to hear anything
of the usual description of the land to be
sold, and of the rapid opening bids that
kept the sheriff turning this way and
that, from Congressman Billy Biler to
the carriage in which Mr.. Mason was
bidding for Mr.. Huntley, his principal.
But great and all-powerful excite
ment had seized upon the young Doc,
communicated from the squeezing, crush
ing, pushing crowd below.
This sale will haf to stop eff you don't
git back" the sheriff urged again and
again. Then she heard his cry for the
first time distinctly: Eight hundred

STRAWBERRIES BRING WEALTH
Lone Island in Snake River IL Gar
den Spot.

Lone Island in Snake River IL Gar
den Spot.
A desert island in the middle of
Snake river is one of the most unique
strawberry gardens in the State of
Washington, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The land is surrounded by
water and yet so dry that even cage
brush and desert weeds viii not grow
except under irrigation. For six months
in the year the residents are practi-
cally cut off from communication with
the outside world of humanity. High
waters make the river too dangerous to
cross in boats and the ice Of winter
closes all approaches from either shore.
On this lonely spot grows the frst
strawberries of the Northwest.
Strawberry island Is government
property The land has never been sur
veyed and probably will never be plat
ted as available for the homesteader.
1t is great mass of sand dunes and
cactus covered stones The Snake river
carries down from its mountain sources
immense deposits Of sand bearing glist-
ening fakes Of gold. Many acres Of
land have been created from these de-
posits. The winds sweep up the river
and great dust storms obscure the sun
for days and even weeks In the spring
months. Yet the strawberries grow
and ripen to perfection.
The loan claimant Of this island has
six acres planted to early strawberries.
Surrounding his cabin is great field
Of forty acres planted to alfalfa. He
keeps a band of cattle and requires the
help of many women and children In
harvesting his berries and caring for
the milk and butter. When other Sec
| tons are clothed in nantes Of snow
this sandy desert is ripening the straw
berries for which the people in the In
land cities of Spokane and Butte pay
% to 40 cents cup. The grower re-
ceives from 81 to Sc crate for his
| fruits.
| Irrigation is the secret Of success In
producing strawberries from the des-
ert. Water is lifted from the river by
means of current motors or wheels
dashed to a movable scow-- Sometimes
the river runs twenty feet below the
level Of the beach. Then the pipes,
attached to the water motor are made
longer and the water lifted to higher
point. When the river is high and
threatens to wash away the island the
water wheels work easily and pump
great volumes on the land. Small
bitches carry water from the pumps
point OF discharge to the fields, where
1t Is distributed in burrows.
Strawberry island is great producer
Of wealth. The owner has an income
of about $500 an acre every year. Last
season he made q net profit Of $1,000
from the field Of six acres planted to
berries. He grows none but the largest
and brightest colored varieties and does
not attempt to compete with the gen.
eral market. When others are ship
ping their berries he has completed his
work and the remnant Is given to FAM
lilies of campers, who pitch tents about
the island to fish for the great Column
bia river salmon.

And with it thou shalt not part.

And ah! woe that this must be!

And the voice of flattery.

There's one thing that thou shalt

Let never a word to my love be said
Which her mother luay not hear.

Profitable Stitchery.

A woman, lately thrown on her own
resources, has turned to account with
excellent profits, her skill in fancy
stitchery, that is, combinations of
cross and other stitches done with
linen floss or silk for shirt waists, or
shirt-waist suits. She has had no
course of instruction, but simply taken
up the work, first among her friends,
and afterward outsiders. For the plain
er stitches in white she obtains forty
cents a yard. Colored and more elab-
crate designs call for higher rates.
She also does some fine hemstitching,
and finds ready market for all she
can do for dresses and lingerie. Pa
irons bring their own material to this

Comfort in Nets.

The woman or girl who is not
blessed with waving locks has, indeed,
a hard time at the seashore, and try
as she will it seems well-nigh impos-
sible to keep neat and trim, for no
one cares to wear face veil all sum-
mer. A hair net is the only solution
to this most harassing problem and,
although the pompadour may not be
quite so attractive as during the dry
winter months, a net keeps the flying
short hairs pretty well in place. For
tennis or any kind of sport the large
nets that completely cover the hair
are best. These nets, which are fast
ened on with the small invisible hair
pins, il once tried will never again be
given up by anyone who cares in the
least for her personal appearance.

Children are often worried because
their mothers are too attentive, and
constantly reprove the small ones
without reason. A child should be let
alone, and be allowed to play or amuss
itself in its own way, without the con-
slant direction of a nervous mother.
A boy, for example, enjoys more a
few simple toys and something which
his own ingenuity has worked out
than the most elaborate playthine
which has been bought. In the same
way the little girl will lavish her af-
fections on misshapen doll, prob
ably made at home, while the most
artistic production of the toyshop viii
lie in state, to be taken up on rare oc-
casions.

Those who take cold easily after
washing the hair should rub a little
eau-de-Cologne or other spirit into the
scalp after the hair is dried. If the
hair is washed in the evening it should
not be left until late, or there will not
be time to dry it thoroughly. Besides
being exceedingly bad for the hair to
go to bed with it damp. it is running a
great risk of taking cold.
