Pure Seed.

Congress is quite likely to pass
a bill which is now pending, to
prevent the sale Of impure seed
To sell adulterated seed, after this
law is passed, will be as much OF
an offense as 1t is now to sell adult
terated food. 1t will be illegal to
import seed from foreign coun-
tries. which is impure; in fact 1t
will be forbidden to handle any
impure seed.
In an interview on the subject
Mr.. J. E. Northrup, the well known
scotsman of Minneapolis, said
at provides that no seeds that
are mixed or contain adulterants
shall be brought in from other
countries and makes it mlsde-
meanor to carry on interstate or
foreign commerce IN seeds that
are adulterated or misbranded.
Much seed from foreign countries
contain dodder and buckhorn.
Both are are noxious weeds, es-
pecially dodder, and any. measure
looking to the prevention of these
seeds coming in is along; step in
the right direction.1- A vast a
mount Of harm has been done by
the importation of these seeds.
This move is of especial inter
est to Minnesota, for the clover
seed of this state and Wisconsin
takes rank as the best in the
| United States, and it is becoming
| well-estabfished fact that it will
produce double the amount OF hay
that clover seed from further
south will yield.
"The great difficulty with this
bill as it now stands is that in
some of its provisions it exacts
what apparently are impossible
ties. Seed is not made, it is
grown, and there are many imper-
fections in seeds which cannot be
remedied by the hand of man.
The bill overlooks that fact, but
doubtless in the course of time
this will be recognized and rem
edied. "-NorthWesteI Gull

OBITUARY
OLD RESIDENT PASSED away
Merrick Richmond, Aged 81 YearN/Dies
of Old Age-A Resident ~ Years.

Merrlck Richmond, AGED OIL fedIW uies
of Old Age-A Resident n Years.
" Merrick Richmond, one Of the
oldest and most highly respected
citizens of Eagle River, passed to
the Great Beyond from whence
no traveller returns, this Friday
afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
The deceased was born in Matt
son County, N. Y, where he grew
to manhood, when he moved to
Waupaca, where he resided tor
twenty years, moving from there
to Eagle River twenty-five years
ago this spring where he has made
his home ever since. He was
known by all, old and young, and
was liked by all; genial compan-
ion, and always ready to lend a
helping hand to those in need
Mr.. Richmond will be missed by
| al who knew him personally, in
their daily walks of life.
All through his last illness OF
several weeks he was a patient
sufferer; the last time his friends
greeted him on our streets was on
election day, April 9TH, since
when he has been failing steadily
until Friday last rapid change
for the worse took place, and from
then on, it has only been a ques-
ton of time. Although lis death
has been expected daily, it does
not lessen the pain for his relatives
and friends. He leaves to mourn
their loss, wife and four child
rem, Earl, of Shell Lake; Phliny
and Miss Hattie, of this place and
Mrs. Annie Munger, Of Waupaca,
all of whom were at his side at his
last hours except Mrs. Munger.
The funeral will be held Sunday
afternoon at o'clock from his
late residence on Railroad Street.
The bereaved relatives have the
sympathy of their many friends in
this sad hour of aff1iction.

Humor.
Rumor is common noun, singular
and feminine gender-except when it
Is used by stock gamblers to influence
the market or by statesmen to influ-
ence politics.
Necessity is the grandmother of Ru-
NOR. because Rumor is the child Of In
vention. Considered separately. its
forebears are feminine idlebodies and
masculine busybodies.
The physical properties of Rumor are
unique and interesting. 1t is more potent
than fact. attains to greater veloc-
ity than electricity. cannot be reduced
to syllogism. feeds on emotion. sleeps
with one eye open. gathers strength
with age and dies of punctured dropsy
4 Rumor is like Santa Claus. We know
its general tendencies. but not its spe-
cific origin. All we know of Rumor is
from hearsay. No one has ever been
ARRESTED for stealing it. as the original
owner is always unwilling to claim it.
Rumor is predatory. Its chief quar-
ries are lovers married or single,
preachers. social leaders, policemen,
politicians and people. Its bitterest
foe is Rumor. Therefore Rumor should
always be treated homeopathically.
TITS motto is: Don't believe half you

What was the use of incoming over a
picture postal with never a word to
tell who it was from?
1t was rather a pretty picture, a
quiet little town Nesting on the bank
of broad stream. but it might have
been love letter from the way jim

remind him that he must leave the
house by three minutes past in order
to catch the last car that would land
him at the office on time.
Della knew to fraction of a second
when each of Mrs. Beeman's twoscore
boarders must leave. briggs jestingly
called her the human alarm clock"
Recalled to earth by the second sug-
gestion, Jimmy thrust the card into his
breast pocket and sprinted down the
street to the corner Once on the car
he took out the card again and had to
walk back three blocks because he
was carried past the office building
still studying the picture.
After all, it was picture well worth
the study, for Arlington was one of
the prettiest towns in his native state.
Postal cards with local views were
something new for the little town.
Jimmy could remember the stir which
the first Illustrated postal received by
an Arlingtonian had made. Sarah
Coyne, to whom it was addressed, had
let the postmistress keep it for a
whole week that all might see the curl
osity. 1t had attracted more attention
than the first Philippine stamp.
Now, it was evident that some anna

of Arlington from the hill. Jimmy

| readily see its connection with the
text
On Sunday morning Patrick depart
impressed with the great originality
the young minister had displayed, and
promising that he would faithfully car
ry out to the letter every wish.
The congregation was much larger
than usual. and all were anxious TO
hear the young minister, who had come
to them "highly recommended" They
were all attention, and not sound
was heard except that which proceed
ed from the mouth of the eloquent
speaker
The middle of the sermon was reach
ed, and the text was slowly and dis
tinctly repeated, "And the Holy Ghost
descended in the form of dove" The
reverend gentleman lifted his eyes
slightly, expecting to see the beautiful
symbol of purity and peace lowering
over the heads of his hearers.
But no dove. Pat had evidently for
gotten the cue or had failed to hear the
minister at the important moment. So
the text was repeated, this time a lit
tie louder, "And the Holy Ghost de-
scended in the form of dove" He
arched his eyebrows little higher, but
no dove greeted his vision. He began
to grow impatient, and the third time
he repeated at the top of his voice.
And the Holy Ghost descended in the
form of a dove" This time his eyes
looked straight up as if in prayerful
attitude, and he was rewarded. not by
the graceful sway of the dove through
the air, as had expected, but by the
grimy, frightened face of Pat, who, in
the agony of his failure to carry out
his part of the plot, blurted out:

Combs Made of Old Shoes.

A mountain of old boots and shoes,
indescribably ugly, indescribably filthy,
lay in the factory yard.
"We'll make combs out of them, >

through the perfumed and lustrous
locks of the most beautiful girls.
Seems strange. doesn't it?'
Very"
yet it's fact. That is what be-
comes of all the worlds old shoes.
They are turned into combs. The
leather is first cut into small pieces and
immersed two days nj a chloride of

and ground to powder; then it is mixed

Comptroller Metz of New York op-
posed a certain bill on the ground that
it would accomplish nothing.
"That BILL" he said, would effect
no more real change than did the kind
ness of the canal boat captain to the
weary actor. After an enforced idle
ness of two months the actor was Of
fered an engagement in town TWEEN
ty-five miles away on condition that he

O'clock.
"Well, he patched up his worn shoes
as best he could. pinned up his ward

along the towpath of the canal. But
after he had covered some nine or ten
miles the poor fellows boots gave out.
and little farther along, footsore and
weary. he gave up in despair and
threw himself ON the grass by the
bank of the canal.
'As he lay there cursing his fate a
canal boat hove in sight. The actor
was seized with an inspiration.
"'Captain" he shouted as the boat
drew near. Pull up. captain! For the
love of heaven pull upv

Winter injury of Fruit Trees.

Relative to the cultivation o: winter
Injured fruit trees, NJ. b Waite OF the
department of agriculture states that
1.-THE aim should be, with good cultiva.
ton and fertilization, to grow the tree
out of the injury. Stable manure Will
probably answer the requirement in
some cases. Nitrate Of soda at the rate
of 200 pounds per acre may be prefer
able in other cases. The choice Of the
writer would be complete fertilizer,
consisting Of nitrate of soda, acid pot
ash or bone meal and murlate Of pot
ash. Such a fertilizer applied just ut
the time growth is starting would re-
suit in the best possible benefit from
the nitrate"
