Orders Received This Week A9@re.
eating Over Seven
Hundred Cars.

The New Ulm Stone company's pro-
duct for macadamizing streets is all
the vogue.
Saturday evening Secretary Miller
received from the commissioners of
Ramsey county letter asking if the
company could furnish 10000 cubic
yards of crushed granite within q
specified time. The secretary answered
in the affirmativ and contract for
the amount Will be entered into within
a few days. Twenty thousand cubic
yards represents something over 600
carloads-in other words, enough to
keep the plant running steadily for a
hundred days or more.
During the week the company also
received orders for approximately 100
carloads to be used in macadamizing
Grand and Prosperity avenues in the
Sanity City Sleepy Eye too has
concluded to fix up her principle bust
ness street, and an order for SO cars
was placed with the New U I'm company
by the official representatives of our
neighboring city on Tuesday.
The granite has been found to be
without an equal for road building
purposes.

the hopes of a western town, but you
can't bust their patriotism.
Three days later, when had patch

possible under the circumstances, /
entered the town of Hurry Up, which
has started out to be the metropolis
of the Far West. I entered in hum
BILE and contrite manner, and was al
lowed to pitch my tent and set up my
tin-type outfit. Patrons came to me
at once, and 1 was doing a rushing
business when a woman who did not
remind me of fairy came along and
stood before me and demanded:
BE this Pilgrim Joe?"
"She be-" 1 answered.
"Does he sorrer with the sorrer-

Does he bring sunshine to those
who walk in the shadder?"
That's me-"
"And tighten the heart that has
been made heavy with misfortune?"
That's me, ma'am. Wouldst have
a bottle of this Alleviator to put
springs under thy heels and Joy in
thy heart? Wouldst have a tin-type
that counterfeits nature and make

wouIdst have a husband. My old man

"But 1 am already a married man.
