Apples

Everybody is buying and taking home
a barrel of apples for Christmas. We
never retailed so many apples as we did
last Saturday, and we certainly expect
to sell more this Saturday. We have the
quality this year, and we have the price.
Having bought our apples early this
year, we can retail them now cheaper
than they can be bought in car lots.
Early buyers get the best always. Call
now, don't wait.

The School Teacher.

She must know more, do more, be
more and endure more than any other
bread-winner. She must know every.
thing In heaven above, the earth be-
meath, and the waters under the
earth. She receives no special credit
for knowing them, but woe to her IL
she knows them not.
She must teach the "three R'sn as
in the olden times, but mark tie adj.
ditiOns:
She must teach physiology with all
the skill of physician, but without
his opportunity for hiding his mis-.
takes.
She must teach civics with all the
learning of a lawyer, but without his
library.
She must teach virtue and goodness
with all the zeal of minister, but
without his Bible or his sectarian
bias.
Under the title of Mature Lessons''
she must teach the elements of all
sciences known to man, but, unlike
he sister in the high school, she must
do it without text book.
She must teach music, drawing,
penmanship and physical culture with
the ability of specialist, but must
give the supervisor all the credit for
the success attained.
She must teach business forms, bus.
mess usage, short cuts and brief
methods with all the knowledge of
bookkeeper, or the schools are i'm.
practical. She must, at her own ex-
pense, attend Institutes and associa.
tions, listen to long-winded theorists,
dryasdust professors, sentimental
idiots. enthusiastic promoters, vision
airy reformers, shrewd self-advisers, per.
sistent hobby-riders and educational
mountebanks, only to attend the next
meeting and hear new crop of theo.
rists with job lot of contradictions,
a series of orders and counter.orders
which would bewilder the most astute
philosopher. -Samuel B. Todd In De.

The New Cards.

The much talked about new issue
of postal cards are now on the market
but none of them will be offered for
sale at the Ely postoffice for few
weeks. The latest form is modelled
after the popular souvenir cards, and
is put out by the department to keep
abreast of the pace set by the picture
post card manufactures. The size OF
the board is 3ax5! inches, and the
front side, which heretofore has been
reserved for addresses only, has space
ruled off one end for correspondence.
The back is, of course, entirely blank.
Either side may be used for cores
pondence, and the department. will In
the future allow newspaper clippings
or photographs to be pasted on any
blank space.

Will Stick to Newspapers.

The Retail Merchants Association
of Newcastle, Ind, has placed the ban
on all advertising schemes. and will
have nothing to do with programs. So
called business directories. and other
devices devised to separate merchant
from his cash. Newspaper adyertis-
ing is recognized as the only profit
able publicity method, and will be
strictly adhered to in the future. If
all the country merchants will use
space in their local papers little
more freely and change their ads
often. If they can quote prices, de-
scribe goods in stock or to arrive at a
certain date. they will soon find them
selves profiting by it-in welcoming
trade now going to the large mail
order houses of Chicago-which they
have secured wholly by advertising.

/ on tlmDer ana farm products nave
recently been modified and are gen.
orally satisfactory. 1t is the policy
Of the company to make reasonable
rates to encourage settlers along its
line.
"In view of all this, it seems that
all settler is required to do is to be
prepared to pay down so cents an acre
on an eighty, and erect such buildings
from material at hand that he re-
l.quires to start with. He will have to
hire team il he cannot buy one to
haul his timber to market, and pay
for the same out of the proceeds. If
he is thrifty he can soon be producing
something above his living expenses
every month from timber cleared from
his land. There are good schools all
over that country, better for children
than the city schools.
"a man in Duluth tells me that
two of his sons that hal learned
trades, able-bodied young men, have
done no work since the lockout last
fall, and had not registered and claim
ed any assistance from the outside
unions. Now, without a word as to
the merits of this lockout question.
wish to suggest to these idle mechan-
les that colony of, say five to rs of
them, either 60 into this region above
described, or elsewhere in northern
Minnesota. and buy 40 or so acre
tract each, close to some railroad sta
Jion, and join hands in house building
and other necessary building construc-
tion on several farms; call on
the school board to build a school
house, and among themselves build a
chapel, and then 70 west and buy a
carload of cheap horses, and go
to st. Paul in the spring and purchase
COWS that the prairie farmer turns
off, for $40 to S25 head, and begin
clearing land and marketing timber,
and general farming. Or, il they
would locate near enough to Duluth
so that they can work in the city
when the conditions are satisfactory,
let them go three to five miles from
the center of town and buy to 10
acre tract at from $50 to 500 an acre.
l bought 100 acres inside the city linn
its within two blocks of street Car
line, within year, for $50 an acre,
and four-tifths of the land is suitable
for farming, and the timber on it will
pay for the clearing.
''If a colony of these intelligent
mechanics will settle in any of the
northern Minnesota districts they will
be better off five years from now than
If they continued to live In rented
houses, or even in homes of their own
in Duluth, or any other city. And l
am certain that they would raise bet
ter families. Their children will help
to take their living out of the ground,
and it will be more wholesome liy-
ing than that In the city.
''This Interview Is already too long
for the patience Of any reader unless
he is especially interested in the sub
ject. But if anybody wants detailed
information as to the cutting and
marketing of inferior timber off the
lands under consideration / shall be
glad to supply it. as I am myself now
clearing this class of land for farming
purposes on the Great Northern road
80 miles from Duluth, and marketing
all the different kinds of inferior tim
Der to the value of $3.50 to $500 day.

COPPER CENTS COMING
FOR SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco News Letter-At last
alack, we have come to regard the con
temptible copper cent as money, and
Frank A. Leach, director of the Public
Mints, has directed the government
money mill on Fifth street to grind out
100000 of the shining discs for the
special use of the people on this Coast.
Ever since the pioneer days, Califor-
mans have shifted contemptuously at
the Insignificant penny. The tourists
were the first to introduce them in any
quantity in Southern California, and
until very recently they did not get
over the Tehachapi grade. Fourteen
years ago, when the delegates to the
convention of the Y. W. c. A. came to
town, they caused general dismay by
their attempts to pass the copper coins
on the street ears, coffee houses and
candy stores. When rendered for fare,
the conductors contemptuously threw
the despised eoppers into the street,
and insults fell fast and thick upon
those pious dears who offered payment
in such coins. Leach himself was one
of the first to attempt breaking through
the barrier of prejudice that was reared
against the introduction of the penny.
He had invented the tape-worm ballot
at the Mare Island navy yard, and then.
being seized with a spasm of reform,
he removed to Oakland and purchased
the Enquirer, which he transformed
into daily newspaper. He made the
price cent copy, and then his trou-
bles commenced. The merchants over
there reared and the newsboys shunt-
ed the sheet until he had to raise the
rate to five cents Of late years, how
ever, bargain counter sales and other
agencies have invited the intrusion of
the penny, and now it has come in |
all its penurious glory, and is to be |
dumped onto US in abundance. Verify. |

liquor. The letter reads:
Dear JIM send you some of
the most wonderful whiskey that
ever chased a skeleton from a
feast or painted landscapes on
the brain Of man. It is the min
gled souls of wheat and corn. In
it you will see the sun-beams
chasing each other over the bill
loWy fields, the dews of night, the
wealth Of summer and autumn's
rich content, all gilded with pris-
oned light. Drink it and you will
hear the songs Of men and maid
ems fair mingled with the laugh
ter Of children as they sing the
Harvest Home Drink it and
through your veins you will feel
the starlit dawn, the dreamy,
tawny dusks Of many perfect
days. For forty years this liquid
JOY has been imprisoned within
its happy slaves of oak, await
ing an opportunity to touch
the lips of man.
Yours truly, ;
