Anthony's Falls, MINI, where ] began
the practice of my profession, the law.
There was no city OF Minneapolis
when l went there, but as soon as II
was started, found myself stung by
the journalistic bee, and founded the
Minneapolis Journal. 1t was an uphill
job, but we persevered Public senti.
ment was in opposition to an anti.
slavery paper in that section of the
country. The pro-slavery element was
strong, and professional men, particu.
larly lawyers, and the preachers, also,
turned the cold shoulder on u.s."
DR.. Fell relates an interesting story
Of how he went out with a horse and
wagon to round up subscribers for his
newspaper. Near Fort Smelling he
was met by the commanding officer Of
the fort, who told him that a party
Of Sioux and Objiways had by some
means secured several kegs of whisky.
The officer jumped into DR.. Fell's
wagon, and they finally came up with
the Indians and destroyed the liquor,
but it was a race between them and
the half-drunken red devils for the
fort. There was q heavy snow on the
ground, so that the Indians were
handicapped and they lost their race
with the horse and wagon.

GETTING RID OF WEEDS.
Sowing Grass Seed Thick
About Fertilizers.

Such perennial weeds as the dande.
lion, speedwell, plantain, dock, monkey
plant, ETC., can sometimes be smother
ed by growing an abundance of grass
seed and making the soil so rich that
the grasses will choke them out, but
II they have obtained a strong root
held" IL will be cheaper in the end to
pull them out and then put on the
grass seed and fertilizers. If the lawn
was covered over winter with coarse
manure 1t should be raked over, leav-
ing as much of the fine material as
possible on the land to supply sum.
mer food for the grasses. If heavy
growth Of grass leaves was left on the
lawn last fall it should be raked with
an iron-tooth rake to straighten out
the leaves and then the lawn mower
rum and the clipping removed before
grass seed and manure or fertilizers
are applied.
If one has no fine stable manure for
spring dressing one may use fine
ground bone snd wood ashes or a little
muriate Of potash. The lawn mixtures
put up by manufacturers and seed deal.
ers make good dressings, but they are
more expensive. If the grass starts
slowly and is of poor color-light
green-a little nitrate OF soda, 100 to
300 pounds an acre, will give the
plants better color and a rapid start.
These mixtures should be put on as
early in the spring as possible and be
raked q little into the grass roots to
prevent the loss Of nitrogen from the
decomposing hone. It is better to ap.
ply bone and ashes separately, and If
the former is applied a week or two
before the latter there will be little
loss of nitrogen.
After the spring raking, fertilizing,
clipping and seeding of the lawn the
mower should not be run until the
ground has become settled, that the
grass roots may become we'll rooted.
II heavy rains follow this work It may
be only few weeks, but IL there are
no rains it may be month or more.

to Gen. Robert Gibson Smith, Of New
Jersey, for $4,000. This is one Of the
best-known estates in Virginia, and is
situated in Fairfax county, on the Po-
tomac river, 20 miles from Washing
ton. The estate almost touched the old
Mount Vernon estate, and the own
er Of Gunston hall, Mr.. George Mason,
was one Of the most intimate friends
and neighbors that George Washing
ton had.
The old mansion is standing virtu-
ally as It was built by Mr.. Mason, in
1855. 1t is an imposing and delightful
old building, and is Of the old colonial
type of architecture. The bricks Of
which It is built were brought by ship
all the way from Scotland. They are
twice the size of modern bricks, but
are exceedingly durable as the walls Of
Gunston hall will compare more than
favorably with the buildings Of the
present day. The house is 80 feet
long by 40 feet wide. The principal
entrance is on the north side of the
building and is marked by a large
square porch of brick and stone and
having four heavy doric pillars. On
the south side there is a smaller porch
overlooking the wide Potomac.
This estate now consists Of 615 acres
and affords fine pasture and farming
lands, besides having large orchards
containing about 10000 fruit trees.
Former Representative Thomas 3.
Watson, of Georgia, q populist and
Farmers Alliance advocate, tried to
buy this place about a year ago. Mr..
Watson, despite his preaching the
simple life and antagonizing riches, is
a man we'll to do in this worlds goods,
and amply able to pay the $4,000
asked for this old estate, but some
hitch occurred in his negotiation. He
was anxious to get up into the old
colonial atmosphere and settle down
on an estate with which George Wash
ington was so familiar.

WHEN CLEANING GARMENTS
How to Use Gasoline to Get Good Re-
sults-Don't Iron Until All
Has Evnporated.

II one has a black lace dress that
looks very stringy and limp, let her
try the following method of rejuven-
ating it: Rip it up and wash it in
gasoline and dry; then proceed as
follows: Carefully iron each piece
on the wrong side, pulling it into
shape, then place over it a damp
cloth and iron until the cloth is
nearly dry. Remove the cloth and
iron until quite dry. 1t will then be
as crisp as when new. Always darn
any torn places before washing it,
and remember that gasoline must
not be used in room where there is
the least light, fame or fire.
For cleaning dainty silks or crepe
waists without ripping, place several
quarts Of gasoline in a clean bowl or
jar; place the soiled garment in it
and gently squeeze and work until
the soiled spots are gone. It is a
good way to mark the soiled spots
before washing, by lacking q basting
thread in them. When clean, rinse
in clean gasoline. Do not be spar
ing of the gasoline, and if the rinse
looks dirty, rinse it again in clean
fluid. Squeeze out all the gasoline
you can, but do not wiring, and then
hang the garment out to dry. AS it
dries, (the gasoline evapoRtes),
carefully pull the trimming into
place. Let 1t hang until the smell
Of the fluid is about all gone. The
gasoline should be left to settle and
the clear gasoline poured of for use
again; but it should not be used for
white goods. For cleaning ribbons,
the ribbons may be placed In a fruit
jar with the gasoline, well shaken
until clean, rinsed, and then wrapped
around bottle to dry smooth.r-The

have to admit that many of their the

CLEANED some very interesting data
from the disturbance, and the seismo-
graph, that delicate instrument that
registers disturbances of the earth, has
come into great prominence. The
weather bureau has one which prompt
ly recorded the earthquake on the
morning 1t occurred, but at the mag
netic observatory of the United States
coast and geodetlc survey, at Chelten-
ham, the closest observation was
made not only with the seismograph,
but also with the self-registering mag
netic instruments.
This magnetic observatory Is one Of
the best equipped in the country and
the seismograph was mounted there in
December, 1904. The record is made
by fine steel point which makes a
trace on a sheet of paper having
smoked surface. This paper is wound
on cylinder driven by clockwork and
revolving once every hour at such a
speed that the smoked surface moves
past the pen point at the rate of one
twenty-hfth Of an inch every four sec
onds. Cheltenham IS 2,450 miles in
an air line from San Francisco and the
record shows that the waves from the
earthquake crossed the continent in
seven minutes "a seconds, or at the
rnte OF 51k miles per second, which is
% times the velocity Of sound.
The self-recording magnetic instru-
ments registered the same data and
showed that the tremors Of the earth
quake crossed from San Francisco TO
Cheltenham in about seven minutes.

on a daily paper told an enchanting
story in his great luck in searching
for wealth.
According to his tale, he struck Il

in the diamond fields OF Brazil. He
said that he was worth 100000 in
cash, besides retaining an interest in
some valuable mines. He was tired

circulation, and the mails have been

Gen. Funston is right we'll known

friends who were intimate with him
long before he ever dreamed that he
would wear the stars of q brigadier

conspicuous clerk in the department Of
agriculture, place he secured through
the influence of his father, who was
for many years Republican congress
man from the state Of Kansas. Fun

call that a military career especially
appealed to him until conditions grew
so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule.
He used to talk with his associates
about the oppression of the Cubans
and wish that he could do something
to help them win liberty. He went to
Cuba finally and fought with the pa
triots against the Spanish and had
pretty lively time.
1t was when the Spanish war broke
out and he was largely instrumental
in raising a Kansas regiment, Of which
he was made colonel, that his active
military career began and he soon
demonstrated that while he was an en-
