ing of people.
Sanborn Sentinel: A Marshall at
torney declared that he will slap the
face of Editor Rae of Tracy just as
soon as he gets chance. He better
notdo it. Shaping editors faces is
likriy to result in more damage to
the slapper than to the slapped.
At the recent term of court in
Lyon county S. P. Hicks of Gales

$4,000.

bushels of flax and $500 bushels of
rye during the past year. C. M.
Ben6dlxen was reelected president
and manager and C. G. Sasse secre-
tary.
Granite Falls girls had better get
the habit of side stepping when
Editor Put comes racing along for
an item. He got hot last week over
the alleged fact that when coterie
OF girls take the pavement they
always walk in a platoon or side by
side so that Put has to dodge out
into the street. Keep to the middle
OF the road, Brer Put.
Gypsies sometimes have other ways
OF picking up cash besides by telling
fortunes and trading horses. The
Minnesota Lake Tribune tells of a
band that visited that town recently,
that they entered the office of the
Colman Lumber Co., and finding no
one in sight, helped themselves to
the cash in the safe which at the
time contained only twenty dollars.
Agent johnson came into the Office
short time after from the yard
and ne missed the money, and at
once went in pursuant of the gyp-
sizes and managed to secure the
stolen cash.
Even the much cussed and dis
cussed dandelion has it's defenders.
The Hutchinson Leader enumerates
its good points, its roots being used
as coffee substitute and it's leaves
for greens. while the wine that
some old country people in Mcleod
county make from dandelions is in
moderate quantities mild and beau
tiful exhilarant. Take enough Of
it and you are gloriously, not in
gloriously, loaded-you don't want
to scrap no. The world all looks
good to you and you love all the
inhabitants thereof. A man well
sudsed with dandelion wine has been
known to hug his mother-in-law and
kiss the hired girl" The Leade r
man better not take dandelion wine
in his'n.

Thirty-four years ago c. H. Whit
ney was postmaster of the new
village Of Marshall, combining the
duties with town-site manager, coun-
ty boomer, justice of the peace,
brick manufacturer, hotel landlord
carpenter and builder, and Sunday

booming stunts for Cookeville, Tenn.
during recent years of degeneracy
and we note that last week he at
tracted the attention of President
Roosevelt to the extent of receiving
an appointment as postmaster oil
: that wide-awake town. 1t is sale
that in the early days of Marshall
C. H. was an exceedingly accomo

body could pick out his own letters
