A. P. Reeves, Of Tenstrike, Demon

That stock-raising can befollowed
proitably in northern Minnesota,

by A. P. Reeves of Tenstrike, who
has raised stock proftably for the
Twin city markets.
Yesterday, Mr.. Reeves shipped
two carloads of fine beef cattle to
Minneapolis to be sold at the mar

ceptionally good quality and were in
splendid condition.
The animals had grazed on MI.

upon their return 10 Wilton Mr..
Evenson went to the saloon and
took from the safe, as was his usual
custom, all of the cash which had
been taken in during the day. At
that time he noticed that everything
was in order and nothing had been
disturbed.
Later in the night several resi-
dents of Wilton. had heard an
explosion but had not realized what
had been done until the proprietors
entered their saloon this morning
and found the safe in atoms.
The usual way of locking the door
at night, leaving everything secure,
had been attended to, but the burg
lars broke the panel from the door,
reached in and unlocked it.
But little damage is done to the
building aside from the spelling of
the safe, and the taking of a few
articles from the building by the
burglars. -.

Stuff Dreams Are Made OF.

Some Of our common dreams seem
to be directly traceable. Slipping down
of the blankets is followed by dreams
of Arctic relief exhibitions or falling
into snowdrifts. A gas-distended stom-
ach, pushing up the diaphragm and

dreaIOs of something sitting on your
chest" or dramatic struggles against
other forms of suffocation.
The common single dream--that of
falling, falling from great height
to wake with gasp of relief just as
is probably due to the general muscu.
lar relaxation and falling of the head,
arms and limbs which accompanies
settling down to sleep. Careful studies
have shown that It almost invariably
occurs during the first 40 seconds of
sleep,
A sleep, a change of position of a
sixteenth Of an inch, is enough to sug-
gest the idea of falling to the brain. IT

Modern Hindu Women.

Within Ave short years great
change has come over a section of the
native population of Lahore, says the
Punjab Journal. Children of native
gentlemen can be seen being taken
out for an airing by ayahs morning
and evening. Certain bold men have
begun to take out their wives In the
evening for drive in open vehicles.
A week ago we saw the daughter of
a man of position walking with her ia.
Their on the railway platform at La
hore. She was dressed in what seemed
like an English gown, had English
shoes on, and when her husband came
up left her father and walked about
with him. Her face was quite uncov-
cred. Let those who have relatives
in Lahore go there and see for them
selves the state of things. They will
see wives going out shoulder to shout
der with their husbands in the even
ings, having said good-by to old re-
strictions.
A man who would dare reimpose the
old manners on his womenkind would
receive scant courtesy.

people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had leased her parents to take her

cows, horses. chickens, and where the
men dig potatoes They arrived there
Saturday, and the following day Edna

She said nothing about 1t on her

reason for thinking that their little
girl had learned practical lesson
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and few moments
later her mother. glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did 1t, but the incident passed out Of
her mind.
A. few days later Edna's father had
occasion to go to the city, and when
he returned he brought home hand
some locket and chain for his little
girl, 1t being intended as a surprise
from her father and mother; but Edna,
while plainly showing she was de-
lighted at receiving the gift, showed
no surprise whatever, but accepted 1t
In cool, matter-of-fact manner.
Both her father and mother noticed
this with surprise, and were keenly
disappointed. Finally her mother said

or the character of future battles
between war fleets the Scientific
American says: THE running fight
which followed the sortie of the Rus.
sian fleet at Port Arthur, and the
decisive battle of Tsushima straits,
crystallized into fact many theories
OF the design and maneuvering Of
warships; and settled, probably, for
many years to come, the vexed ques-
tons Of the size of ship, the type of
gun and the best formation in which
to fight naval action. The battle
ship of the future will be of great
size; displacement will be not less
than 10000 tons. and this will in.
crease so rapidly that a 30.0O0-ton
ship will probably be anoat before the
close of the next decade. The main
armament will consist exclusively of
heavy guns of not less than IL inches
caliber and, unless the difficulty of
erosion cannot be overcome, the ~.
inch will give place to 13-inch and.
possibly. to a 14-inch piece.
Future engagements will be fought
at an extreme range, the extent of
which will be limited only by the abil-
ity of the fire-control officer to see
the fall of the shots. The determine.
ton OF the range at which an engage;
ment shall be fought will lie with the
fleet which possesses the greatest
speed. 1t is to-day the almost unani-
nous opinion of naval officers that
one big ship is more effective than
two smaller ships of half her size.
Future engagements will be fought
with the two fleets steaming in paral.
lei lines, In what is known as line
ahead formation: that Is, with each
ship OF a fleet steaming in the wake
of the one ahead, with an interval of
about 500 yards between them.
IF, of two such fleets, one were
made up OF four 20,000-ton battle
ships. each carrying eight 12.inch
guns, the whole line would be about
2,100 yards In length; and IL the other
fleet consisted of eight 10,O00.ton ships
each mounting four 12-inch guns, the
line would be $500 yards in length,
VI c'Vi ehicC Inc Hccl vi
larger ships would probably have suf.
ficient advantage in speed for the
admiral to maintain his four vessels
abreast of the first four of the enc.
my's line; and, in this case, an eight
gun ship would be opposed to four
gun ship, with the inevitable result
that the four smaller ships would be
silenced
The fleet of larger vessels would
then slacken speed and drop back
taking the ships of the enemy in turn
and smothering them with superior
gun fire. At the opening of such an
engagement the fifth and sixth in line
Of the four-gun ships would be able to
direct diagonal fire upon the last OF
the eight-gun ships, but the range
would be so great that 1t could not
prove to be very effectual.
Internationally the victory in flu
ture engagements will lie with the
feet which is able to concentrate the
largest number of heavy guns within
the shortest line of battle. Hence
the raisOn d'etre of the big ship and
hence the certainty that the navies OF
the world have been forced into con
test OF size, the end of which no one
can foretell."
