Unique Relationship of Potato.

An authority tells us that the pota.
to has large and unique relation.
ship. Tobacco, tomatoes, eggplant
and peppers belong to the family.
Probably that is why the potato bug
is so often destructive to these crops.
1t is asked: How can potato grow
other. potato vines from the eyes,
since 1t is not root, fruit or seed?
That is answered by way of illustra-
ton: A stem of almost any plant
will produce another plant from the
place where the leaves come out on
it. If one will break of a piece of
rose bush and plant 1t in a favorable
place it will produce another rose
bush, just as potato will produce an
other vine.

Water Shade Trees.

How many people neglect to water
their shade trees and flower beds?
The editor of this department knows
a Texas man who is still gathering
fresh roses from his bushes, when all
his neighbors, in fact, most of the resi-
dents of his town, can only point to
their withered, parched bushes and
trees. This man, on the hottest day
of the year, had his home grown flow
ers on the table, and they were al.
most as fresh as flowers would look
in early summer. He simply waters
his trees and flowers; waters them
right. and they return him, for his
service, beauty Of bloom.

St. Paul Man NeedIework Champion.

Charles G. Olsen of Charles street,
st. Paul, is the needlework champion
at the state fair this year, for he was
awarded first honors for framed en-
broidery picture, an eagle perched on
two American flags, exquisitely done
even to the heavy padding of cotton
under the bird, which gives it lifelike
contour.
The entire design is in flo silk and
is worked solidly. Each section of
the bird is outlined in gold thread and
&c Pluribus" is heavily embroidered
in gold.
Mr.. Olsen is not the only man who
has entered needlework for competi-
ton. The exhibit shows the work of
10 men and the public interested in
fancy work recognizes with pleasure
centerpieces and pillow designs which
it has admired at former fairs.-Min-
neapolis Journal.

BEGINNING of Bird Narration.

Flocks of migratory birds are pass
ing over the city nightly now, going
south from northern points where
they have spent the summer. A great
many of these birds, among them the
robin and the blackbird, come to
South Carolina from the Blue Ridge
and other mountains, where they nest
in the summer, and other birds are
now en- route to points further south
Florida and the islands off the coast.
The journey south is begun about this
time each year and the birds all leave
the northern points before the sever
ity of winter there has set in. The
mild climate of the south in winter
suits them better and they come here
in great droves.-Anderson Mail.

Automatic Book Vendor

An automatic book vending machine
has been devised abroad by which 1t
is possible to hire a book for short
period or to buy It. The machine
holds about dozen or fifteen books,
which are arranged so as to display
their titles. It's operation is con-
trolled by two slots, one OF which
represents the value of the book and
the other to hire. In order to secure
the volume the required amount must
be placed in each slot, and when the
book has been read and returned. the
amount representing the value is re-

Death in His Pocket.

Winsted, Conn.-David Fem, "A. Of
Kent, this state, was fatally injured
when mangled in a dynamite explo-
sion. He had worked with the ex-
plosives on highways so long that he
did not think of danger to himself. He
had two sticks in his coat pocket. AS
he was passing under a railroad
bridge the coat tapped against the
wall. The dynamite exploded, blowing
off his right arm. destroying his sight
and infficting other injuries.

Graphite Replacing Lead.

The growing exclusion of lead from
paint on the ground of its poisonous
character, has led to the introduction
of graphite as substitute, particular
ly in the place of red lead in the paint
ing of iron. Mixed with linseed oil,
graphite protects the iron we'll against
rust, and is much cheaper than red
lead. So many new uses have been
found for graphite, which not long
ago was employed almost exclusively
for the manufacture of lead pencils,
that large quantities are now made
with the electric furnace, the natural
deposits of the mineral not being suf-
ficient to supply the demand.

1t is a SAD but true fact that few men
or women are able to enjoy the careless,
dreamless sleep of a child. 1t is also a fact
that if men and women would do good
work and have pleasure in the doing of it,
sleep, and plenty of it, is essential. And it
is another and more serious fact that, prob
ably owing to the strenuous life of the
world to-day, insomnia is more prevalent
than it ever has been before

doned by the state board yesterday.
Browns application for pardon was
filed through his attorney, J. P. Con-

supported by affiadvits from his sis
ters and brothers, in which they set
forth various facts to show why Alb
ner should be released, and also pro-
missing to care for him in the future.
The Brown case was one of extra
ordinary interest in Grand Forks be-
cause of the very peculiar circumstan-
,ces entering into it. Several children
of tender ages were the principal wit
nesses against Brown at the trial.
Browns relatives in eastern Cana
da are very we'll fixed financially and
they propose to give him a home.

New York, Dec. 6.-The Phoenix
Insurance company OF Brooklyn is un-

which are believed to have impaired
its surplus at least $1,O0O,OOO and to
have resulted in grounds for possible
criminal action.
New Yorh. Dec. 6.-Superintend ent
Hotchkiss of the state insurance de-
partment today laid the matter be-
fore the district attorney. It is
charged the president has overdra wn
his salary; that he has unloaded
doubtful securities on the company,
and that he has used the company s
assets as collateral to secure his own
private speculative accounts. Nor do
the directors escape censure.
In formal statement issued tonight
superintendent Hotchkiss does not
believe the capital Of the company is

evidence that it's securities are not

his administration annual reports of

partment in ten years and probably
longer are false in more than one
particular.
Under the law the insurance de-
partment is required to examine all
life insurance companies at least
once in every three years. MIR.
Hotchkiss advocates an increase in
the examining force that insurance
companies other than life insurance
companies may be examined at least

COUNTY SEAT fights
BEfYRE SUPREME COURT
DIVISION OF OLD WARD SEEMS
TO BE BIGGEST CAUSE OF
TROUBLE.
Settlement of These Cases Will Mean
Ar End to Expensive and Bitter
County Seat Fights.

The supreme court listened to argl
me1ts in the matter of Burke ar
Renville counties against Ward coun
ty Monday.
Burke and Renville counties want
the vote of Kenlnare thrown out on
the ground that the election boards
had no regulation boards on election
day and the bulk of the vote cast
in Kenmare was illegal.
In the lower court Judge Templeton
held that the law was directory, not
mandatory and this decision defeat
ed the Burke and Renville PROPOSE
tfons. The appeal is not On questions
of fact, but on the law If the Ken
mare vote is thrown out by the su-
preme court, the division of Ward
county is settled for good and this
will be a great relief to everyone.
Such result will do much to purify
Ward county politics, for as long as
there are county seat fights, money
will be corruptly used, and all kind S
Of political disturbances will exist.
Today Attorney Green will argue
the Montu.aille county case. another
division of Ward county In this the
relator, one Davis, desires a manda.
mus to reconvene and recanyass the
vote of last fall by which Montraille
county was, formed.
The next county division case will
be Stevenson and the county auditor
Of Mclean county. The new county
wants the vote ON county division
certified up to the secretary Of state.
Judge Winchester issued an order di-
recting the auditor to do so, and this
opdersis appealed from. n

cases will put ian ,send to all our

to come ..
