GROVES FOR SNOW FENCES.

Railroads are not usually influenced
by newspaper suggestion. One though
which might be followed with profit,
7 is that the railroads would certainly
profit by, is the planting of groves for
!. windbreaks where under the present
methods, the roads are compelled
every winter to construct snow fences.
Trees would answer the purpose CT
the fence, and il allowed to branch
! low would certainly be splendid snow
breaks.
They would in a few years be cheap
8er, for once they have become suf-
ficiently large to serve their purpose,
they would need no tearing down and
putting up every year.

Grand Opera company, who will sing
Gounods Faust" at the Metropolitan
theater on the evening of March 8,
is its superb chorus of conservatory
trained voices. Until the advent of
Henry w. Savage in the grand opera
field, 1t was the custom to present,
miscellaneous assortment of ILL
shaped singers whose only recon-
mendation was that they knew the
lepertory. Frequently they had been
singing in grand opera choruses for
a generation. When Manager Savage
decade ago began to develop his
justly famous company for grand
orera in the vernacular, one of his
first precautions was to weed out of
the scores of applicants all the aged
and crooked-limbed. His aim was to
secure young singers possessed Of
some grace and beauty, as we'll as
pleasing voices. that might be depend
/. cd upon to sing ION the key"
This process has been going on year
after year until now his English grand
opera chorus compares favorably with
the "beauty choruses" advertised by
the modern musical comedy shows,
something at one time considered i'm
l.ossible in grand opera. In the large
ensemble productions, such as "Aida,"
La Boheme," Faust and the Wag-
ner operas, there are scenes when the
stage is crowded with bright, intelli-
gent young faces and graceful forms,
enough to supply two ordinary light
opera companies.
His ensemble forces this season
were selected from over 1900 candi-
dates. These came from all the lead
ing Conservatives and music schools
in the country and may be said to
represent the cream of the ambitious
and most gifted American voice STU
dents. With such talent taking the
place OF the proverbially stupid chorus
singers of olden days, there is life
,and action in the English grand
opera ensembles impossible to be
found in the foreign-voiced organiza-.
tons.

STORIES OF THE HOUR
No Calamity.

Detroit Journal: "The late Heze-
kiah Butterworth," said Boston
Journalist, had high opinion of a
woman's wit. He liked to prove
woman mans superior in fancy, in
humor, in retort.
He related one day to me a quar-
rel between married couple that he
had overheard in the subway.
This couple got ION at scolley
square and rode in Mr.. Butterworth's
direction.
There is no calamity which can
befall woman that l have not suf-
fered,' the lady said in a bitter voice.
There you are wrong, Jane the
husband replied. You have never
been a widow

joined:

LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY.
The Body of Man Found in Haystack
Shows Evidence Of Rough Usage.

Moorhead Independent: A further
examination of the body of the I'M
known man whose remains were found
in a haystack 16 miles northwest Of
Northome, has been made and as a
result of the examination residents
of Northome are i3clined to believe
that his death was not case of sui
eide. A wound on the head indicates
that he had been struck a blow with
some heavy instrupent. An examin-
alton of the mans hands revealed that
all the knuckles had been bruised, in
dicating that struggle had taken
place. The suicide theory has been
entirely given up by some, who claim
that the man was murdered. AS vet
the county authorities at Grand Rapids
have not arrived at Northome to make
an investigation.

BUILDING AN EMPIRE.

Plans are already announced for the
building of considerable mileage IF
railroad in this state, principally IN
the western part.
Ordinarily the building OF Il few
hundred miles of railroad, especially in
the west. is matter only OF passing
notice. The roads that are projected,
however, means much to the western
counties
One of these is the extension of the
500 westward beyond Kenmare An
other one is the building OF a north and
south line from the Bismarck terri
tory to transcontinental lines that
traverse the northern part of the state.
The building of these two lines alone
will bring into railroad connection
thousands of acres of land which with
out these shipping facilities, would be
much less in value. If not practically
valueless.
Years ago the people who were
pushing out to the frontier in advance
of the railroads, the matter of getting
the products of the farm to the mark
cts was very serious rs well as ex-
pensive one.
Even now when grain must be
hauled by team more than twenty
miles, the expense SO reduces the pro-
fits that there is a remarkably small
margin left for the farmer even on a
good crop.
In the greater part of the. state,
these things have changed from condi-
lions to theories, because the railroads
realizing the importance to themselves
as we'll as to the country at large have
pushed their lines out into the hereto
fore unoccupied territory.
But in later years the people have
waited for the railroads before elabor-
ately developing the country. The
homesteader and after acquiring title,
he has awaited the building of the rail-
road before developing his farm.
In some instances these people have
been charged with lack of faith. In
nearly every case, however, it has been
a matter Of business consideration.
The country through which these
proposed roads will pass has been
largely hOmesteaded for some time, but
none of the farms have been put under
extensive cultivation because % do so
would mean much work anu small re-
turns because of the long distances
necessary to haul the products.
But once the railroads penetrate the
new country, every quarter will be
transformed into Il grain producing
area and the country will become rich
in proportion
The western part Of the state has
long been considered the last remnant
of the Great American Desert, but
wherever brought under cultivation, it
has given the emphatic lie to the ac-
cusation.
The parts of Williams and Ward
counties brought into easy communica-
tion with the markets because of these
new roads will prove just as produc-
tive as any other part has in the past
This state is largely made by the
railroads. The more they are extend
ed the more valuable becomes the land
available to them, and the richer and
greater the state becomes.
The eastern portion has little to
complain of in this particular, but
the western part. needs more, many
more in order to bring that rich agri-
cultural empire under the rule of the
pillow and binder.

Woodland.

Woodland" the gem of all comic
operas. representing as it does life
in fairy birdland, will bes presented
here for the first time by Henry w.
Savage at the Metropolitan very short
ly.
This superb production comes here
stamped with the approval of tile
larger cities of the east and middle
vest, where it has played continuous
ly for almost two seasons and at all
times to large and appreciative au-
diences. The great charm of this ex-
quisite bird opera of Messrs. Pixley
and Luders. the authors Of "The
frince of Pilsen". and king Dodo,"
lies in the absolute cleanliness of the
libretto; the sweetness of the bird
lover romance that runs through the
two acts and the many tuneful' mel
odies with which this Audubonesque
musical frolic fairly bubbles over
with.

Unappreciative.

Il don't believe" said Henry James
at dinner, Gin savage criticisms of
living writer's. Why take up man in
order to put him down? All that such
a course achieves is the infiiction of
useless pain.
mo pain is greater than that which
harsh criticism gives. And when a
smile of disapprobation can give tor
ment, what must be the pangs that
long columns of printed condemnation
cause?
"a certain resident of Rye once
moved to London, and there was ap-
pointed to a political post of some
honor.
Meeting Rye man afterward, he
said:

THE UNSUCCESSFUL FARMER.

This state is largely judged by the
| appearance of it's farms The greater
| majority of people who come here, are
| looking for lands rather than for
| business openings.
| An ill-kept farm is therefore not
| only evidence of lack of enterprise IN
the owner. but to strangers it is taken,
whether justly or not, as an index Of
the country in which it is located.
| Where farmer has fields of mus
| tard extending out in waving gold as
far as the eye can reach, the land
buyer will pause long before purchas-
ing the adjoining farm.
| Where from poor cultivation the
| growing crop looks as though it were
| in the last stages of consumption, the
| man who is 60 unfortunate as to own
the adjoining section will have to do
much persuading before he could sell
even at sacrifice.
| One poor farmer in a community IS
like black eye on society beauty.
He gives the entire community some
thing of his own reputation, and no
matter how much enterprise the others
may have, or how we'll their farms are
kept, the only poor one will reduce the
standard.
The poor farmer is so from one of
two causes-ignorance or Indifference.
If from the former, and he be pos
sessed of desire to learn, it will only
be matter of brief time until he
eliminates himself by getting into the
progressive class. If his fault be that
of Indifference, he is a serious menace
to the progress of the country and can
hardly be eliminated by anything short
of death.
He will continue to plant his grain
long after his neighbors have done so.
His grain will have much space be-
tween, filled with weeds. His harvests
will be gathering of his seed grain
in reduced quality.
He will be one OF the men who
will charge his failure TO the country
or to fate.

In the living tono of Devils island Dreyfus was kept in ignorance of the incessant labors of his wife and friends in his behalf. Under the eye of six armed soldiers, who met his every question with silence. confined to a small section of hot, sickly and bar ren rock in the tropics. he watched hve years come and go. Though he made no attempt to escape, for part of the time he was locked to his cot in his hovel by means of heavy iron bars at- tachel to anklets. Inducements were made to him to commit suicide.
 The friends of Dreyfus, particularly Colonel P:cquart and Emile Zola, were tireless in pushing his case and brought about the arrest of Colonel Henry. chief of the intelligence department, who when driven to the last ditch con- fessed that be had forged one of the discriminating documents against Drey- fus and committed suicide in prison.
