GRIEF KILLS STRONG MAN.
His Life Gone Through Regret Fol
Having Shot Friend For Deer.

, Minneapolis, Minn.-Intolerable re:
gret, crumbling all the vital forces o!
his being, is believed to have caused
the death of Charles Wingren, who
lived with his wife and seven children
in Inez, Crookston County. Win
gren, who was only tw~enty-seven
years old, was strong and healthy un-
til a few weeks ago, when he shot and
killed a neighbor, his closest friend,
in mistake for a deer. The official re.
port of Wingren's death stated he
died Of apoplexy, a rare complaint for
a young man who has lived his whole
life in the healthy open air. Those
who knew Wingren best say he died
of q broken heart.

Nutritious Food.

Brood sows should always have
sufficient nutritious food to keep them
in good condition. At narrowing
time the SOW should not be too fat.
If she has had plenty of exercise and
is in fair condition she will be better
prepared to care for her offspring.
She should not be fed RI every day
Of the year. This grain should be
given most sparingly just before far
rowing, and in it's place a ration of
:wo quarts of oats, one quart of
soaked corn with one quart of wheat.
This will prove an excellent ration

Poison In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages so little was
known OF toxicology that all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut-
ed to poison. but in the light of mod
ern knowledge many Of these, says the
British Medical Journal. are now cas-
fly explained by such diseases as ap-
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even the
Borgias can be absolved from many
of the poisonings laid to their charge.
Nevertheless from early times In Italy
poison was favorite means OF re
moving" an enemy. In England.
France and Germany cruder methods
of vengeance prevailed. and 1t was not
until the sixteenth century that the
Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with ter,
rible rapidity. aud poison was employ
ed in every rank of society to get rid
of announcement persons. The art in.
