had not yet quite learned his business,
was on sentry duty one night when

LAS he sat on the grass eating the

The sentry, not recognizing him, did
not salute, and the major stopped and
said:

INCREASED His EXPENsEs.-A st.
Paul man tells of German proprietor
of a sawmill in a Minnesota town
who was accustomed to use for fuel the
refuse from the lumber. The fuel cost
nothing, but it took four men to pro-
vide it, because the machinery was old
fashioned.
One day an agent for mill machinery
persuaded the owner to install new
equipment that would reduce the
amount of The fuel One-half. The
proposition looked like a good one, and
the agent, confident of success, called
on the German after the installation
of the machinery, fully expecting to
be congratulated. But the TentOn gave
him a gloomy stare.
Whats the trouble?" asked the
agent. The machinery does all
claimed for it?"
Yes, but overlook something's"
What was that"

Greenvile. December IL: Mr.. w.
c. Moore, financial agent for the Far
merS' Union, returned to Greenville
today from a trip to Europe. Mr..
Moore went to England and Germany
for the purpose Of comforting with the
spinners about making direct sales of
cotton. He made a close study of the
situation and, as a result. agencies
have been established at Manchester,
England, and also in Germany, through
which Farmers Union cotton will be
sold direct to the spipners. Mr.. Moore
is enthusiastic over the plan and de-
clares it will result in saving at least
a dollar a bale on cotton thus handled.
He predicts sensational prices later in
the season when the consumer finally
realizes the size Of the crop and the
fact that the farmer is not willing to
take less than Is cents.

While Running at a Speed
Of Twenty-Five Miles

Andrew Johnston. a brother n-law

With an accident Tuesday by jump
ing of passenger train, running

freight going in that direction, he
took the next train going there, which
was No. Z, the passenger, to join bis
crew.
Mr.. Johnston thought the train
would slaken speed to about 6 miles
an hour IN passing over the new laid
track, SO be decided to ride up to
where his crew was working. as the
train crew had been given orders to
slow down while passing this place,
and when the train came to it, it
slackened to shout 20 OF rs miles an
hour and not to what Mr.. Johnston
had thought
Even then, Mr.. Johnston hal no
idea that it was going at so fast a
speed and go jumped. and although
he strack on his feet, the impetus
was so great that he was unable to
keep his balanceand fell head-long, slid
ing along the ballasted rosd-hed and
receiving several bad cuts, his face
beiag very badly injured.
He was picked up unconscious by
the crew but came to in a few min.
ntes and wss s5Dt to tie sauitarium

THE 500 CONTRACTlFT
Line Will Run From Broo-
ten to Duluth, by
Mile Lacs

Announcement was made Saturday
that the Minneapolis. ST.. Paul &
Saolt ste. Marie railway has awarded
a contract for the construction of a
lire to Duluth, Minn., and Superior.
Wis, from Brooten, Minn., a dis.
tance of about 200 miles The con.
tract has been secured by Foley Bros,
st. Paul contractors, who are making
arrangements to have tho extension
finished with as little delay as posi-
BILE.
That the 500 was planning to gain
entrance into the Head of the Lakes
has been matter of common disc ,s-
sion for several years, but it was
generally supposed that the extension
would be built from Thief River
Falls. 1t was stated that tho surveying
crews had been looking over the land
with the view ct locating a line fro "A
Thief River Falls into Duluth. This
report was set at rest. however, by the
knowledge that the 500 line has ben
shipping supplies along the main line
and the announcement made Simply
confirms suspicious which have been
entertained by railroad men as to the
plaus of the 500.
The contractors announce that the
line will cross ths Northern Pacih at
Moose Lake and nsar Royaltcn. Tais
will suak5 practically a direct line
from Brooten 70 Superior. Willis it
will be easy to construct tbs line, it is
stated that some heavy cuts will have
to be made.
At ths Head of the Lakes the 500
will connect with the Duluth, South
Shore e Atlantic, which is controlled
By the Canadian Pacific interests
II will be necessary for the 500 line tc
build additional terminals to what the
Duluth South Shore & Atlantic al
ready has, for the new extension is
constructed primarily for handling
wheat from 500 points, which at pre-
sent has to be hauled to the Head OF
the Lakes by other lines.
Brooten is just below Glenwood,
which is the intersection of the main
line and the Winnigeg line of tho 500,
so that the connection for the exten.
sion will offer an easy outlet for traffic
which will come from the north al
we'll as from the west.
The necessary equipment for the
construction Of the extension is to bs
placed along the route Immediately
so that everything will be in place
when the ground is in such condition
that grading work can be started.
The contractors we're not in p jsition
to state when the line will be ready
for operation. The question of labor
and materisl, 3 represe atative of the
contractors said, will decide when the
work will be finished
With the above made announcement,
the possibility 1f little Falls being on
a main line of the 500 seems to have
vanished. The building of spu",
however, would he small matter, al
it is claimed if the last survey is used
the line would ouly be shout six miles
southeast of Little Falls, and spu>
would be small matter for greater
railroad.

date fo- alderman in the First wald,
