The reputation of the pineapple has
suffered because it has been eaten in
too large quantities at time and the
fibrous part has been swallowed with
the juice. To obtain the full digestive

one meal. 1t must not be cooked and

crop.
He is also of the opinion that COWS
need outdoor exercise in yard shell
tered from the northwest wind by
barb wire fence; and that unless they
get this needed exercise they will not
be healthy and possibly will die.
He is the kind of farmer that new
err would invest one cent in ditch,
even if it would drain Is or 20 acres
of valuable land. Fencing is out of the
question with him. He has never heard
OF the rotation of crops, and ''clover'
and "alfalfa' are words that he has
never dreamed of. Picking up loose
trash, old tinware, sticks and brush
around the yard he never heard of,
and the use of a garden rake to slick
up the front yard with would be one OF
the last jobs he would undertake.
In the winter during the bitter cold
of January and February and possibly
a week or two in March he will send
his little children, both boys and girls,
several miles afoot and thinly clad, to
attend a sectarian school. His debts
are large and stay by him as sure as
taxes. In twenty years he has gotten
ahead enough to partly pay for a
small house and barn, but that is all

Sheriff Makes Discovery.

! Sheriff Bonde made trip recently
to Kelliher, Beltrami county, where he
went in search of young woman
whose former home was in. New Lon
don and whose parents had supposed
that her residence during the past few
months had been in Minneapolis. The
girl had been traced to Kelliher thru
a clue which gave her starting point
as Pennock, from which place she left
for St. Cloud on Jan. 4. When the
sheriff reached his destination he
found that the missing girl had been
living as the wife of a Willmar man,
who has a wife and eight children at
present residing in this city and to
whom he has furnished very little sup
port all winter, the family receiving
only twenty-five dollars during all of
that time. The couple have been max
ing their home at a hotel in Kelliher
Near that village the man has been
employed in one of the logging camps
and during all of this time that the
alleged wife made her residence there
the anxious parents have been search
Ing for her in vain. Fearing Grimm al
proceedings and to avoid trouble the
guilty parties adjusted matters with
the result that the girl is now known
as Mrs. Ed Kennedy, the groom being
another member OF the same logging
camp. The guilty Wlllmar man fed
to his home in this city, being given a
"tip' by some of his friends here, who
had telegraphed him to come home at
once. The conduct of the parties has
aroused much indignation among some
of our people. especially in the case
where the family is left destitute as the
result of the mans neglect and other
parties are called upon to assist in
their support. No warrents were sworn
out and consequently no arrests have
been made.

What pity every country town can
not have humane society that could
extend its work into the country and
do little educating among some So
called farmers. We have no patience
with a man who will keep an animal
and starve it nearly to death. But
such is the case nearly every winter
all over this broad state. Some time
ago we came across a herd of as poor,
starved-looking COWS as we ever saw.
And they were plastered with manure
from head to foot: they must simply
lie in wet filth their full length when
confined in the barn-and, by-the-by,
this man has a good, comfortable barn
If he would only invest a couple of
dollars in lumber and make a drop
behind his COWS and use plenty of
straw for bedding, of which he has an
abundance. He could keep his COWS
nice and clean while starving them to
death, and by SO doing lessen his
crime little. Those cattle we're some
thing terrible to look upon. They
were hardly able to drag one limb at,
ter the other.
This man has a 100 acre farm, and
if his brain could be reorganized so
it would be willing to receive few
suggestions and carry them out he
could keep three times the cattle on
his farm that he does now, and keep
them we'll. But he is one of the kind
that will not listen to reason and he
thinks that these "book farmers and
their methods are to be avoided. He
has lived on this farm for more than
twenty years. Each year he loses sew
eral head of cattle and very often a
horse from what he calls "bad luck. -
If he has few cattle die from STAR
walton he says luck was against him
this year. Instead of sowing his grain
the first part of April he waits until
the end of the month or the first part
of May, and if the crop is light and
poor in the fall he calls it bad luck.
So also will he plant his corn the last
of May or as late as June Is, and if
some ears are soft in the fall he says
the county is no good for corn and

Person & Johnson, cigar manufac-

early date, probably the first of May:
The consideration for the property

This enterprising firm find their
present quarters too small for the
proper handling Of their large bus
mess. A large force of workmen is
employed and there are many reasons
why larger quarters are now neces-
sity. The newly acquired property
will be improved in several respects
and the entire building remodeled SO
that it can be used exclusively for the
cigar business. The upper floor is at
present partitioned off for rooms,
which are rented. The partitions will
be removed and the entire floor used
for work room, There is base
ment, which will be used for the stor-
age of tobacco, and the first floor will
be divided into an Office, retail depart
ment and storage room for cigars when
completed and boxed. An elevator
for the more convenint handling of
freight and stock will be put in. .
Mr.. Hadrath's lease for the billiard
hall expires the 18th of April and he
will remove to a new location, after
which the work of remodeling the
place for it's new owners will be COM
menced so that it can be occupied as
