THREATEN LIQUOR DEALERS,
Wholesalers Said To Be Responsible
In Indian Districts.

st. Paul. The wholesale LIQUOR
dealers of the Twin Cities are threat.
ened with prosecution by the State
Prohibition society if they continue
to encourage the sale of liquor in the
prohibited districts of northern Min.
nesota. w G. C~alderwood, secretary
of the state prohibition committee,
states That in many cases the whole
salers are responsible for the viola.
lions because of their eagerness to
sell liquors to the retailers.
"The wholesalers, whose places OF
business are not within the prohibited
district, are just as liable as the sa.
loonkeepers who purchase their II.
quor," said Mr.. Calderwood. 1.-THE
treaty states specifically that no Ii.
quor shall be sold or distributed with.
in the limits of the territory described.
This certainly means that the com.
panies shipping in the liquor are Ii.
able. We of course intend to prose.
cute the saloonkeepers first, but when
we are satisfied that the wholesalers
are just as much responsible we in
tend to make them answer for it."

School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are

the best food. One of the attractive
features of Quaker Oats is the perfect
way 1t is packed. Besides the regular

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND
lDeacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony
Probably Somewhat Impressed
the Jury.

Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the
pioneers of Utica, N. Y, was a man
of great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the devil" was
often said of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-
gagged in a lawsuit in regard to some
land a few miles from Utica. He held
the land at a high price. During the
trial he called Beacon Potter as a
witness, to- prove how valuable the
land a The deacon was sworn and
asked If he knew the land.
"Yes," he replied, Il know every
foot of it,"
What do you think it is worth, MI.
Potter?" was the next question.
The old man paused a moment and
then said, slowly: IF I had as many
dollars-as my yoke of oxen-could
draw-on a sled-on glazed ice-l

acre for it!"-Youth's Companion.

Dwelling House Burned.

The dwelling house Of A. j. Handy,
on his farm near the White Church, in
Harmony township, was completely de-
stroyed by fire at late hour last Friday
night. Mr.. Handy had put good fire
in the stove and before retiring for the
night instructed his daughter, Miss
Luells, who was sewing to look about
and see that the house was not on fire.
About eleven o'clock she opened the
outside door and discovered fire on the
roof, where hole several feet square had
already been burned, and which was no
doubt caused by sparks from the stove
pipe, the house not having a chimney.
She promptly aroused the family who,
with the assistance OF neighbors, saved
most of the furniture and clothing from
the house, but owing to high wind pre-
vailing at the time nothing could be done
to save the building. Part of the beds
and bedding we're destroyed. as well as
l75 bushels of potatoes and 300 quarts of
canned fruit in the cellar. There was no
insurance on the property. Mr.. Handy
is hard-working industrious man, with
large family, and the loss of his home
falls as a severe blow on him. We haye
no estimate of the total loss.
