DONALD LAND & LUMBER
co. TO Be REORGAN|zED.
Roger Spo0ner and Sons Will Devote
Time to Developing Lands
Owned by Company.

/. - s. :. =
The Donald Land & Lumber
company, which has been one of the
largest holders of farm lands in Bel
trami and Clearwater counties, is to
be largely recognized, according
to Roger c. Spooner, president of
the company, who recently returned
from Wisconsin, where he had been
on a business trip.
Mr.. Spooner's absence at Madison
had to do with the sale of 10000
acres of land belonging to the
Donald Land & Lumber company to
the new Northern Minnesota Dairy
Farm Land company, which was
recently organized under the laws of
Wisconsin, and which has main
Offices at Madison, with branch
Offices in Bemidji.
Mr.. Spooner states that he has
purchased the interest of John C..
Parker in the Donald Land & ,Lum-
Der company, and that under the
reorganization of the company he
and his two sons, John G.. Spooner
and Donald w. Spooner, will give
their time and best efforts to the
development of their personal hold
ings in Liberty township, and also
to settling the unsold portion of the
Donald Land & Lumber company's
original purchase of $4,000 acres.
Mr.. Spooner also states that it is
their desire to see this section of
Minnesota developed, and they are
considering with outside parties the
purchase of a large tract of land
located in this section of the state.
The Messrs. Spooner having come
here to stay, and believing in the
future welfare of this part of the
state, they are going to put forth
every effort possible to induce immi-
grafton in this way.
w. R. Mackenzie, who has been
associated with the Donald Land &
Lumber company since it's organiza-
ton, goes with the Northern Mime
sofa Dairy Farm Land company the
first of the coming year, his contract
expiring with the Donald land &
Lumber company at that time.

He Worked In Sardou.

1t may not be generally known
that M. Sardou, the famous drama
tist, once figured in photograph
as a member of the chamber OF dep
uties. 1t happened in this way: A
certain photographer was very anx-
ious to produce the portraits of the
363 deputies constituting the Re.
publican majority in the chamber OF
1877, which defeated the endeavor
to overthrow the republic. He OBJ
tanned the likeness of all OF them
except a certain Rouge, who was
shy and refused to sit. The pho
tographer in despair asked the ad-
vice of Gambetta. Nothing is SIM
pier" Gambetta said. "4ou have
Sardou's portrait? Then use that.
He and Rouge are as much alike as
two peas. No one will ever know
the difference" The advice was
taken, and NJ. Sardou figured all
unwittingly in the number OF the
red Republicans.

NEW CLOTHES HANGER.

and employing the clothes supporters
shown in the Illustration all the avail
able space in the closet could be utll-
lied. 1t is especially adapted to re-
ceive a large number of garments or
other articles when in extended posi-
ton and to fold them into compact
form without creasing or soiling them
when contracted. In addition every
garment is Immediately accessible
thus eliminating the nuisance of re
moving the garments on the forward
hooks in order to reach those on the
hooks farther back. 1t will be obvious
that when the tongs are drawn into
an extended position large number OF
garments can be easily hung upon the
lower crossbar and can afterWard be
folded into compact condition by push
ing the supporter to the folded posi-
tion-Washington Star.

EPlsToLARY AFFEc1AT,oN.
The Art Of Letter Writing In the olden
Times.

Not infrequently complaint is
made in the magazines and more
conservative newspapers that the
art of letter writing has been lost;
that the grace and charm as exempli-
fed in the correspondence of writers
in other days find no parallel in
this matter of fact period.
Answer is usually returned that
the man or woman of today is too
busily engaged to permit of their in
diligence in the epistolary afecta-
tions of olden times. Certainly the
letter writer's of those days enjoyed
the advantage of great leisure. 1t is
difficult otherwise to account for
their prodigality of phrasing.
Lady .Pomfret, we are told, pre-
sented to Lady Hereford pair OF
| alabaster vases and received in re
! turn a letter of thanks fitted to the
times.
| sSThere is,'' wrote the recipient OF
the vases, can elegance in them SUI
/ perior to anything ever saw, and

fhey are in themselves, their being
a mark Of your friendship enhances
their value to me even beyond thell
merit. I sit and look at them with

of them, no furniture good enougl

my house for a palace and to ran
sack all the cabinets in Europe TO
paintings, sculptures and other curl
osities to place with them"
Even Lady Pomfret, who was her
t self a pretty fair phrasemakel
J seems to have been a little abashe
t by her friends enthusiasm.
l "You quite confound me, dea
> madam she replied, E'with the en-
< comiums you bestow upon a coupl

obscurity of a grotto and very justl
make me blush for having sent S
trifing a present"
This extravagant diction is equa
ed by that of the Princess Crao
when writing to Sir Horace Wa
pole. After thanking Walpole IL
some trife the princess says:

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A pinch of salt taken before meals
stimulates digestion.
A cup of strong coffee will remove
the odor of onions from the breath.
Nervous spasms are usually rel1ev-
ed by dissolving little salt in the
mouth.
Bathing in salt water tones up the
skin and gives it a fresh, wholesome
color.
For corns take equal parts of lard
and quinine and mix thoroughly. Ap-
ply at night.
For a sprained ankle the whites of
eggs and powdered alum made into
plaster is almost specific.
| Hot water is better than cold for
bruises. 1t relieves pain quickly and
will prevent discoloration.
| One should be cautious about enter
ing sickroom in state of perspira-
ton. as the moment you become cool
your pores absorb.
Stewed rhubarb has a well known
medicinal value besides being com

10 Mend a Tear.

Accidents will happen and a tear in
ones best skirt is no laughing matter.
For most rents baste a piece of thin
paper under the rent, drawing it into
perfect shape; then darn neatly with
ravelings of the material. If one has
no pieces, these can sometimes be OBJ
tained from the raw edges Of the skirt
cores. A French patch is made with
out turning the edges under. The piece
is smoothly fitted in and piece of thin
paper basted on. The edges OF the
patch are then darned with very fine
stitches. Always press darn care
fully after finishing it.

A Delicate Distinction.

The architect of the new town
hall, which was almost finished,
wished to know what people thought
of it. So he strolled over to "Jer-
rold's Livery Stable, Boarding and
Batting" and nodded to the proprl-
etor.
Cline town you have here"
"Ee-ah, pretty fair"
GLOW do you like the new hall p
"Fine, now that I've got used to
it. Looked little queer at first"
"What do people think Of it,"
ssMost of 'em are satisfied, !
guess"
'Do they say good things about
itY'
'sPretty fair. When the walls first
began to show up and we could see
what it was going to look like
good many folks was disappointed
That was only at first, though. Now
I guess you'd find there's more com
ment than criticism"

What Happened to Jones.

One day a tall, gaunt woman'
with rope colored hair and an ex-
preston of great tierceness, strobe
into the Office of county clerk IN
West Virginia.
"You air the person that keeps

demanded.
<sWhat book do you wish to see,

the name of James Jones, for whose
marriage a license had been issued
two years before. =.
"Married Elizabeth Mott, didn't

Unfeelinq.

A certain drill sergeant whose Sc
verify had made him unpopular
with his company was putting a
squad of recruits through the fu-
neral exercise. Opening the ranks
so as to admit the passage Of the
supposed cortege between them, the
instructor by way of practical ez-
PLANTATION walked slowly down the
lane formed by the two ranks, say
ing as he did so:
SsNow Pm the corpse. Pay atten-
ton"
Having reached the end Of the
party, he turned round, regarded
them steadily with a scrutinizlnee
eve for moment or two, then re-
marked:

leads is right, but you 'aven,t go'

BUSINESS TRAINING.
Man Should Listen to Wife's Counsel
In Business Affairs.

Man ShoUI0 Listen TO wire SouuSSi
In Business Affairs.
Governor Glenn of North Carolina
writes:
81 advise every man who would be
successful to listen to his wife's coun-
sci in business affairs. The woman
who is really mans helpmeet is the
one who is able to advise him on ev-
cry serious problem that confronts
him. But no woman can be real
companion who must spend all her
time as cook and housekeeper. She
ought to know about business and
what is going on in the world. 1t is
unreasonab BILE of any man to expect his
wife to meet his needs as real COM
panion If he does not provide the
means for her to become So, A wife
| should have some leisure to study and
develop herself along Intellectual lines.
A man who holds the opposite idea
lowers the standard for wifehood and
| womanhood. And every girl and wo-
man in the country should have
| strict and thorough business educa-
| ton. No matter how fortunate a
girls immediate circumstances, she
should be given a complete business
training. Let them be trained to be
first class stenographers, bank cash
iers, professional nurses, bookkeepers
anything they have talent for. But
let their equipment be complete, as
mans is. 1t is dreadful mistake tc
leave a girl without any definite train
ing whereby she may earn Hvel1hooc
