Death OF Patrick Wynn.
Patrick Wynn, one OF Randolph's Oldest
citizens, died suddenly Tuesday evening
at the farm on the old road TO the Center
which had been his home nearly all his
lifetime. Latterly, in his feebleness OF
age, his daughter and her husband, MIR.
and Mrs. j. III. Callahan, had faithfully
cared for him at this place, to which he
was bound by the ties OF many memories.
Though he had long been crippled by
rheumatism and felt, too, the weight of
increasing years, he had seemed very
comfortable through the winter and even
to the moment OF his death. That morn
ing he arose with no symptoms OF the
approaching change and was as bright
as .ver until, just at the close of day, he
sank quickly to his last rest.
MI. Wynn was born in Ireland but
came to this country in 1851, taking up
his residence In Randolph to become one
OF her industrious, thrifty farmers. Be-
sides the sterling qualities that COM
manded respect, he had keen wit and
genial nature that made him a pleas mt
companion and won the cordial liking of
those among whom his long life was
honorably passed.
Thirty niue years ago occurred the
death OF his wife, who LETT him with six
children, four of whom survive-Mrs.
Matthew Carney and Mrs. J. II. Callahan
of Randolph, Mrs. j. w. Carney OF Mel
rose. Mass, and John Wynn Of Mandan,
n. ID.
The funeral service will be held at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the
Roman Catholic church.

A GENIAL DESP0T.
Bonaparte Smiles and Smiles, but Has
His Own Way.

Ills own way.
Charles J. Bonaparte the attorney
general of the United States, can be
the suayest man In all creation. He
smiles so sveetly while he talks that
people have gone away quite pacif1ed
and never realized till after it was all
over that he had calmly gone ahead
and done precisely what he proposed to
do.
To return to that smile. 1t Is SO like
the poor. No one ever saw Bonaparte
who could think of much else. True,
the first thing one sees on meeting him
10 the bullet round head-the Napoleon
head-with Its bold forehead, just bald
enough to make it yet bolder. a
Then one notes the nose, dominat-
ing nose, the full eyes between heavy
eyebrows, the short, thick mustache.
Then the smile. It starts with the
eyes, droops to one corner OF the
mouth, slips over to the other, then be-
comes audible in a queer kind OF
chuckle in the throat, which shakes an
increasingly prominent double chin.
The upper chin is very timid and re-
firing, but there's dimple in it which
works In wonderfully with that smile.
But don't f1atter yourself and pat your
self on the back and think the attor-
ney general is dead easy. That smile Is
only a cloak to cover up-you will new
er know what it covers up till yeu
come away and discover where you
are.
He will cut your throat with a feath.
er while he chuckles and smiles. II
you are not satisfied with being thus
graciously beheaded and answer back
you'll find an adept at sarcasm and
irony using penknife.
If you still rebel, the next you know
q backwoodsman will be at you with 8
brute Of an ak. But he will be smiling
and chuckling through it all.-Worlt

THE CREAMERY.
Much of Its Success Depends Upon
the Work of Its Patrons.


The creamery is an important and
many times an underestimate factor
In the welfare and progress Of a. farm
ing community. The farmers who are
patronizing a we'll built, well equipped
and well managed creamery can readi-
~ tell what it has done for them indi-
yidually and collectively. There was
time (and we find about the same con-
dittons now where a new creamery is
being started) when the success of the
creamery was believed to depend al
most entirely upon the skill Of the but
tsrmaker While we willingly acknewl-
edge that his training and experience
have made him the main spoke in the
wheel, he very generously admits that
much Of his success depends upon his
patrons.
The highest scoring butter made by
the best buttermaker at the best cream
cry we always find Is backed by pa
irons who bring the largest per cent Of
good, clean milk and cream. While
the ability and interest of the butter
maker are items to be reckoned with,
he can produce the best results only
when he has the hearty cooperation Of
hss patrons. The buttermaker must
start early and work fast If he gets
ahead OF the barn yard starter that the
patron can carelessly and ignorantly
Introduce into his milk.
Flavor Depends Upon Patrons.
In Judging butter from a commercial
standpoint flavor Is given forty-fve
points, which Is almost half necessary
for perfect butter, and flavor is largely
dependent upon the condition Of milk
and cream, for which the patron is re-
aDonsible. The buttermaker Is respon-
gable for the texture, twenty-five points:
color, fifteen points; salt, ten points,
and package, five points, and 1t depends
entirely upon him whether his product
10 right In these particulars, but in or
der to get the highest favor he must
depend mostly upon the patrons. By
means Of pasteuriZing, using starter,
properly ripening cream, churning at
!; the right temperature and keeping
. everything clean, buttermaker may
be able to control the favor to great
extent, but he cannot do SO entirely.
aairymen ought TO know that the bet

delivered at the creamery the better
