Thin Blood Makes
"a Weak Body.
But You Can Enrich the Blood and
Send New Vigor Through the Sys.
tenn by Using Dr.. A. w. Chass's
Nerve Pills.

Every nerve and every muscle Of the
body depends on the blood for nourish-
ment. Thin, watery blood makes weak
nerves and fiabby muscles. The heart
fails In its work OF forcing blood
through the body; the lungs. the stom-
ach. the liver, kidneys and bowels all
do their work in an imperfect way. and
you drag about weak. tired and miser-
able.
The use Of DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills make radical change in every
human system that is starved and inn
poverished for want Of rich, pure and
DEMONSTRATING blood.
Gradually. certainly and naturally
they instili new vigor into every nook
and corner Of the body, restore health
and vitality, and put a new Joy into life.

son. the local contractors, arrived in the
city from the southern town Monday
morning. The big ditcher occupies the
entire surface of one fatcar. and now
lies on siding in the local freight
yards, not far from the freight depot
1t stood the journey well and is APP
parently in perfect repair and none the
worse for its trip. The machine was
shipped from the factory in MankatC
on Saturday and came through without
hitch, arriving at its destination with
out being tied up at any point along the
route.
'The ditcher will be unloaded and set
up Immediately by an expert, who is
expected to arrive in the city for that
purpose very soon. When this process is
successfully effected, the big machine
will be removed to the scene of its first
labors, in the township of Belle Prairie
The machine will begin its work on
bitches No. and 10. which extend fo1
total distance of about eleven miles
in the above town.
Preparations are being made for the
transportation of the big machine to
Belle Prairie town. The point where it
will be first taken is about seven miles
from the city, and it is estimaterd that
five or six heavy draught horses will be
required to haul it to its station.
"Little idea of the form and character
of the ditching machine can be obtain
ed by an observer in its present dis
iointed condition on the car, but
enough of it can be seen to give con-
ception of its power and utility in the
work for which it is intended. Harri-
son & Peterson expect to be able to
save a considerable sum annually with
the aid of the new machine, by cutting
down the cost of labor, as well as ac-
comprising vastly more work with its
assistance. The firm has obtained from
the county contracts for the digging OF
many miles of bitches for this summer
and the machine will be kept busy all
| the time.
"The big ditcher was purchased in
Mankato early last spring, but has been
retained at the factory since that time
in order to effect certain repairs and i'm
provements in the machinery. The lat
ter operations were conducted under the
direction of Carl Herrick, son of A. E
Herrick of this city, who is also the
designer of the machine ITSELF

THE VALLEY BETWEEN
.Se.aOS,.ss. o.te

TT HE Spur Mountains belonged to the
 Macdonalds. and the Lonnon
 Mountains to the McA1llsters. The valley between them was no mans land for they were too busy fighting oyer it to keep out the thieves from the hills. They had fought year in and year out for longer than the memory of man, and neither boasted long of advantage. till the days when Robert McAllister sev- enth of the name, grew old. Then an i'll time happened to the clan. His eldest son slipped over a erag and was killed. His second and third sons were slain, away in the wars; and the youngest son died in his bed of some womanlsh complaint-a hard fate for a brave man. Since Robert McAllister was too old for arms the name of the clan grew small. and the more daring of the tribesmen took service abroad under the King of France; for Mary McAllister had the spirit of a man but only the body of a maid
 Alan, the young chief of the Macdon- aids, had won great renown in arms, and he had the way of leading men; and those who are born for leading never lack men to lead. He drove the Me Alisters from the valley, and built little fortresses there to hold it. and when he had held it for a full year he sent a message to Robert McAlister saying that further strife was vain, and offering terms of peace if they would own that the valley was his. Thereupon the Me Alisters gathered together and made a great raid, taking away cattle and sheep in hundreds that were in the valley to graze. and raging one of the little forts to the ground. The week after. Alan Macdonald fell upon them and took back fourfold. And afterward he sent a piper with a letter, which read like this:
 Prom Alan Macdonald to Robert Me Allister,\ most courteous greetings.
 "The fortune of war has given us ad- vantage which you cannot resist. When strife is useless. strife should cease. If

 She drew a deep breath. You sent challenge to our clan that one should contend with you. It was not an equal wager, yet there were those who would have died had they not been overruled." Her eyes flashed. Also I took the risk" he reminded her.
 Ut was not an equal risk. as you knew" He drowned.
 'Who shall deny his strength to the stronger man9. he asked
 Shall he use it against a weaker?' she demanded. He frowned again.
 "It is the WAY of these things.
 That he should take advantage against the weak? Would he then use his strength against a woman?"
 "No!" said Macdonald heartily. Surely not"
 "wherefore." said she, q bring to you an equal challenge" She looked him straight in the eyes. "If your challenge is such as a man may meet" he answered steadily, T accept it unheard
 Tt is an even risk she said calmly. Your life against mine " Never" she shrugged her shoulders.
 "It is not your habit to fight on equal terms?"
 Ut is not my habit to fight with a woman on any terms at all" She laughed scornfully.
 "A woman is not so much to fearl' The gray-bearded Hector. who was reckoned wise. rested his trembling old hands on the table and leaned forward "A woman of all things is most to fear" he said
 She turned haughtily to Alan. Before age has brought wisdom, do , you fear?' Ave- he said, T fear greatly" The risk is only equal" He shook his , head.
 "A woman's life is more to man than his own, -t My life is naught to you." she told him. He looked her in the face boldly. "Try me. lady" he said; and the | thought crossed her mind that Alan Mac

Believing Fish Stories.

From Grover Cleveland's new book,
 '.Fishing and Shooting Sketches"
 It is sometimes said that there is such close relationship between mendacity and fishing that in matters connected with their craft all fishermen are untruthful. It must, of course, be admitted that large stories of fishing adventures are sometimes told by fshermen-and why should this not be so? Beyond all ques- ton there is no sphere of human activ- ity so full of strange and wonderful in cidents as theirs. Fish are constantly doing the most mysterious and startling things: and no one has yet been wise enough to explain their ways or account for their conduct. The best fishermen do not attempt it; they move and strive in the atmosphere of mystery and uncer- tainty, constantly aiming to reach re- suits without a clue, and through the cul- tivation of faculties, non-eXistent or in- operative in the common mind.
 In these circumstances fishermen nee essarily see and do wonderful things. If those not members of the brotherhood

 "Friend or foe?' he asked under his breath. She looked down at him with her great blue eyes
 Foe she whispered hoarsely. but I honor you greatly" Then she rode away into the mist that hung over the valley below, and he gazed after her till she was lost to view.
 "There was never her like in all Scotland" he vowed. She would have drunk her death.'
 Aye" said the sage who was stand ing near him. "She would have taken it, and-perchance she has more of the pois- on at homeH
 The young chief stared at him for moment then gave great shout.

 He ran to meet them as they came, leaped on his great black charger and rode down into the mist as if his senses were not in him.

He peered through the gloom with his eyes burning like fire and saw nothing. He bent for ward to listen for the sound of her horses hoofs and heard nothing. Only as he rode up Mount Lonnon and the mist lifted a little he caught a glimpse of some one riding far above and knew that he could never catch her by the way that she went. He drew a long breath and turned his horse aside from the track
 "A woman's life is more than mans" he said, under his breath.
 From the foot of the mountain to the castle high above, the bridle path runs q long way round; and between bend and bend lies a great ravine that neither man or beast had crossed. forty feet at the naiTowest from side to side.

The things narrated have been seen and eX- perieneed with fsherman's eyes and perceptions.
