A Little Gambling With Meals.

1--we got a new scheme for boom
ing the latest restaurant said the
man who had more ideas than dollars,
land it's great. Most any kind of a
good restaurant will pay in New
York, but there are SO many good
ones these days that we've got to do
something to draw the people away
from the others. My scheme will do
it. It's dead easy, and won't cost
more than any other sort of good ad-
vertising.
II propose to open a table d'hote
place, and at the beginning will have
one night in the week free to every
body who gets in before 7 o'clock
dinner not to begin till 6. Oficourse,
won It make the announcement in ad-
vance and draw all the deadheads in
town; but on the free night, when each
guest comes to pay his bill, I'll wave
him off, and tell him it's on the
house. " ... .ta~...s~
"They won't know anything about
it till they come to pay their bills,
and won't have time to get out and
send in the crowd. But they'll talk
when they get around among their
friends, and so nobody will know
when the free night is to be. I'll bet
have crowd every night hoping that
will be the free night. They'll miss it,
most of the nights, but the spirit of
gambling is so strong in the kind of
people that do most of their eating in
restaurants that they'll come seven
nights just for the sake of beating the
house one of them. You see if they
don't. I know I would, and I'm no
better than the rest of them.
"I'm going to have good dinner

them so that they'll be selling pools

"A TALLY H0 PARTY
Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Ludden Enter
tain the Choir of the Con"
gregational Church.
A Ride About Town and a Period of
Pleasantly at the Home of
Host ard Hostess.

Something new and unique was de-
cided upon by Mr.. and Mrs. Ludden
when they invited the choir of the
Congregational church to tally no
ride last Thursday evening. Bige-
lows bus called at the residence of
the choir members and it's approach
was heralded by the Charlton notes of
a cOrnet in the hands of Grover UNI
behocker. After a drive about the
city the busload of jolly singers halted
at the Ludden villa, which was bril-
liantly lighted with Chinese lanterns,
and where they were heartily well
coined. Then. commenced the fun.
Mrs. Ludden had pinned about the
rooms twenty-three geographical puz-
zles of places ranging from Estes
Brook to Hammerfest. For half an
hour. they worked over these puzzles,
then time was called. It was found
that Claire Galley had won the first
prize, he having solved Is of the
endgmas, while Prof. Jones came out
second best with seven solutions.
The penny puzzle was the next amuse-
ment, the problem being to discover
twenty three names on the face of the
coin. In this contest Miss McMas-
tiers won the first prize and Mrs.
Galley the second. Then came the re-
freshments, which consisted of ex-
cayated oranges filled with juice.
cocoanut and whipped cream: fiat
strawberry shortcake, ice cream and
cake. College songs were sung and
other amusements engaged in until a
late hour, when the bus arrived and
all boarded for home after a most
delightful evening.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Claire Galley, Mr.. and Mrs. McMil-
Ian, Mr.. and Mrs. Dickey, Prof. and
Mrs. Pinney, Miss Ida King, Miss

Enlist the Railroads.

In the movement for the settlement
and development of northern Mime
sofa, the cooperation of all the rail-
roads traversing this territory should
be enlisted. Railroads, by friendly
spirit and small and timely conces-
sions, can do more towards encourage
ing farmers to locate here than any
other combination of influences.
The efficacy of railroad encourage
ment toward the settlement of the
country is plainly evidenced by the
rapid development now going forward
along the line of the Duluth, Missabe
IL Northern railway between Proctor
and the range towns. A few years
ago this was wilderness, where agri-
cultural pursuits were not considered
practical. Today there is visible
from the car windows hundreds of
clearings occupied by good farm
houses and barns. Settlers are pros
pering and are easily showing the
possibilities of the soil which has
been SO generally condemned by our
unthinking friends in the twin cities.
1t has been the policy Of the man
agement of this railroad to do all
within it's power to promote reclama-
tion of the country tributary to its
line, and the results are apparent.
Other railroads traversing this north
ern country have paid little or no at
tention to the opening of the land,
considering it evidently of minor i'm
portance as compared with their
larger and more Immediately profit
able interests. The consequence is
that one can ride for miles on their
trains without seeing break in the
wilderness. What has been done
along the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern railway can be done in the terri
tory traversed by every other rail-
road in northern Minnesota, and it is
the duty of the people in Duluth and
other cities and villages in the north
eastern part of the state to present
this Important matter to the big rail-
road companies that they may assist
in getting this great territory settled.
The efficient aid of the railroads once
enlisted the rest will be comparatively
easy.-Duluth News-Tribune.

Estimates compiled by some of the
best informed potato men in Kansas
City indicate that up to the present
time Texas has bought only about
one-third as many seed potatoes in
the north as for the corresponding
period last year.. The active plant
ing season in Texas will begin about
February l in the southern: districts
and continue throughout the. month,
winding up about March l. in the
northern part of the state. J. r.
Beggs g. Co., who have a travelling
man in Teaxs, say the Texas people
are doing very little in the way of
buying just now. Some houses here
are selling few cars to go south, but
there is nothing like a large move
ment at this time and has not been for
some time past.
The bulge in potato prices last fall
is largely responsible for the light
movement that has been experienced
since then. With last seasons dis
couraging results fresh in their
minds, Texas growers showed little
disposition to pay long prices for
seed stock. There were not nearly so
many potatoes contracted for last fall
as usual. When the break came there
was still greater Indifference on the
part OF southern dealers to Law in
supplies. They figured that if the
supply was large enough in the fall
to cause break in prices that there
would be greater declines later in the
season. By holding off last fall they:
saved advancing money on purchases,
which is no small item. There has
not been sufficient 4bullish news re-
garding the situation since the fall
scare to make dealers anxious about
getting supplies. Dealers here predict
that cold weather and moderate ad-
vance in prices would result in q great
deal OF activity in the buying of seed
stock, as it is almost always the case
that buying is much more active on
an up market than when prices are
recedlng. It is generally figured that
Texas growers will wait until the last
moment before actually deciding on
the acreage to be planted.

Government to Set Pace.

It IS announced that the agricultural
department at Washington has agreed
to construct one mile of model road
each in Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana, provided
the cooperation of state or county
authorities can. be. secured. It is
proposed to do the work next summer,
the federal government providing the
necessary machinery and expert road
makers. This is movement highly
commendable and should stimulate
the various states to continue TIL

FIRE AT MORA.

FIRE AT MORA.
Total Loss Estimated at $4,000, Which
Is Covered by Insurance.
Fire was discovered at an early
hour Friday in the second story of
the building occupied by the Mora
Produce company and the Hagelie
restaurant. It had gained such head
way before being discovered that it
was impossible to save any part of
either the building in which it orig
mated or the one adjoining on the
north, occupied by the Crusoe Bazaar
store.
So rapidly did the flames spread
that it was only by the heroic efforts
Of the volunteer fire company of the
village and the aid of a good system
of waterworks that the fire was
checked before it reached other adj
joining buildings in the same block.
The losses are estimated as follows:
Pope, Rines & Pope building, $1,000;
Pope & Pope building, 81, 900; Hagelie
restaurant, 81, 600; Mora Produce COM
pany $4,000; Crusoe Bazaar store,

"Skinned' EIennepin County,

+ A dog in VOLTS clothing was taken
into the Hennepin county auditors
office by John Collins of Hamel. Mr..
Collins presented his credentials in
the shape of affidavits by himself,
John Weir, town clerk of Maple
Grove, and two witnesses, that the
animal was male wolf killed by Col
Inns in his barnyard while killing
chickens.
Chief Deputy Auditor Al Erickson
took these afidavits, cast an inquiring
look at the animal on which bounty
was claimed and hesitated. He did
not like the supposed VOLTS look and
called Hunter Hazlit to the rescue.
The hunter admitted that a wolf might
look like that and Collins was given
his warrant of $3.50.
Later the pelt was taken to the
Northwestern Hide & Fur COMPANY
and there the skilled eye of w. J.
Burnett detected the canine tail. He
told the farmer that he was trying to
sell a dog, and as such paid him
twenty-five cents for the skin. He
then notified County Auditor Hugh
Scott of the mistake. Mr.. Scott ex-
amined the skin and pronounced it
dog. He wrote letter to Mr.. Collins
advising him of what he believes was
a mistake, and quoting the law max
ing the palming off of other animals
for wolves a misdemeanor. If the
money is not refunded soon there is
liable to be trouble for the farmer.

WORKING "SKIN'' GAMES.

Sharpers Purchasing Pelts of Animals
Upon Which Bounties Are Paid.
An extraordinary demand for the
almost worthless skins of wolves and
wildcats has raised strong suspicion
that they are being used by an organ
lied gang to cheat county officers in
localities where heavy bounties are
offered for the determination of these
animals.
The first intimation that illegal use
was made of the skins purchased from
Minneapolis fur traders came from
Wisconsin. Inquiry was received
from Barron and Seymour suggesting
that fur traders be asked whether they
had had opportunity to dispose of
certain classes of skins. Investiga-
ton reveals that almost every fur
warehouseman in Minneapolis has
been visited this winter by would-be
purchasers of wolf and wildcat pe]ts.
One man was around last week in
quest of green wolf skins. He didn It
care about the quality nor the size,
and, though he protested to know
something about grades, he offered
three times the market price for what
were available. The only thing he in
sisted on was that the ears and scalp
should be in perfect condition.
Another buyer has been around
lately who makes a specially of Wild
cat pelts, imposing the same condi-
tions regarding the ears and scalp.
Connecting the Wisconsin inquiry
with the facts developed in Mime
apolis, it appears that men are max
ing business of buying up cheap
pelts and submitting the ears and
scalps in different counties which
demand these trophies before paying
bounties. By the wise distribution
of the various parts of the skin in
several counties, the supposed Wild
animal slayer could reap big profit
on a very modest investment.
One peculiar feature of the business
IS Glle dppafenG ignorance OF county
officials regarding the fauna of the
northwest. If the plans of the bounty
grabbers do not go wrong the state
of Wisconsin will pay out several
hundred dollars for small bits of hide,
from the covering of Oregon wildcats,
whose markings are wholly unlike
those of any cat found in this part of
the country.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs,
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
