hAzING SENATOR DAVIS.

Hon. Jen Davis. senator from Arm
ansas and fiery orator OF the first
water, the o;hcr day made speech
in III. Senate condemning the gambl-
Ing in futures, which practice already
has been stopped BY many states, 81
far as State laws cou.d b. made TO

According TO the press reports.
Senator Davis. during the delivery o.
his opini1ns was hazed by his col
leagues, a majority OF whom betook
themselves 70 the cloak rooms, leav.
ing only seventeen members upon tn"
floor TO listen TO the defamation OF
the Arkansas senator.

VI SUuU tltdt"tI'
1t remains to be determined
whe her or not Davis possesses, as
Tiilman dill, the force and stamina
TO compel his colleagues to turn about
and lock and listen.
So far nothing has developed just!-
flying the stamping OF Senator Davis
either as great reformer or as Il
persuasive orator.
The same may emphatically be said
OF Nelson w. Aldrich. senator from
Rhode lsland-the baby state OF the
Union--and the boss of the Senate.
His forensic abilities are nil. He
is regarded as the quasi-representa'
tive In the Senate Of the Standard
OIL Company. II oratory he his strong
suit. he expends its force In the com
mit,ee rooms.
But occasionally Aldrich has some
thing 10 say In the United States
Senate.
No record shows that in any in
stance only seventeen senators re-
NAMED to listen TO Aldrich when he
rose TO address the Senate.

The Salt Sea Leuend,

There is a legend in the Morse scald,
which explains why the sea is salt
The "bountiful Frodi." whose mythical
reign was a golden age indeed, pos
sessed a quern, or hand MILL which
ground out gold and peace. but which
would grind out stores Of anything de-
sired by it's owner. Two giant maid
ems, ruled over by Frodi. were tn.
grinders. In an evil day a sea rove
came upon the scene. slew Frodi anf
carried off the quern and the two
giant maidens who worked it. Wher
the sea rover's vessel was right out az
sea he ordered the maidens to GRIND
salt At midnight they asked If they
had not ground enough. The sea
rover, angry at being awakened from
his sleep, commanded them to GRIND
until morning. Now, the giant maid
ems naturally enough worked very
quickly, so as they went on grindinf
the load of salt grew SO heavy that ii
sank the ship, and now the sea will
continue salt forever.

Minnesota's Wonderful Cow.
Mortified News:

Northfeld News:
Minnesota has a new butter rec
ord. The cows Of the great bread
and butter State" have a new mark
to follow, and this time it is North
field COW that is leading. Some
years ago the cow owned near st,
Paul had the reputation of making
a great butter record. That cow
was sold for $4,000. She made a
trife over Twenty-Five pounds of
butter in seven day test, and that
mark has stood good until the past
week, when cow also of the same
breed, the Holstein, owned by w.
F. Schilling of Spring Brook farm,
completed a thirty-day test and made
114.79 pounds of butter. She made
in the seven best days 29.30 pounds
of butter. Her best days milk 1889
pounds: her best days butter 4.46
pounds; best seven consecutive days
milk 747.2 pounds; thirty days milk
2885.8 pounds. or twice her own
weight. This thirty days milk rec
ord has never been equalled by but
two COWS in the world. Her average
production of milk daily for the
thirty days was 96.2 pounds.
Here is the greatest dairying CEN
ter in the Northwest. Only ten or
twelve years ago the idea of breed
ing dairy cows in this vicinity was
laughed at. Mr.. Schilling and some
others conceived the idea that COM
munity breeding of one kind of cat
tie would make this section famous.
And now within ten miles of North
field there are in service over 100
pure-hred Holstein sires. That it
has been a good thing for the farm
ers financially one needs only to go
to the statements of the two banks
here to prove. Fifteen years ago
the deposits in the two banks here
were $4,000 Today the deposits
in these same institutions amount to
81, 200, 900 in round numbers, and as
the president of one of these banks
remarked; This is farmers mon
ey." The result shows plainly that
the one-crop idea was ruinous one.

ing" says Mr.. Schilling, 1--WE make
more money and at the same time
are conserving fertility for the flu
ture generations.

CITY OF THE INSANE.
Happy and Honored "Guests" Of the
Inhabitants of GheeI.

Inhabitants of Gheel.
One of the most remarkable places
in Europe, of which no tourist on pleas
ure bent evos' takes notice, says writ
er in a Berlin paper. is the City of the
Insane" by which name Gheel, neal
Antwerp, has been known for genera
tons. About 1900 men and women
live there and have a happy being as
the guests" of the inhabitants, who
know by experience how to treat the
unfortunate ones. In the streets, IL
the places of amuTement, the cafes
and workshops thS patients may be
found, and nowhere is there the re-
hottest suggestion Of restraint appar-
ent. The board ranges from 240 to
2,400 marks year, and. no matter
how small the amount may r. the pa
tient is always the favoro~ member
of the family. He has the first right
to the most comfortable chair. and the
head of the table belongs to him. He
receives the most attention, and this
he learns to appreciate and to endeav,
or to maintain by living down his
illness. Even the children know how
to treat the demented people. The
dangerous ones are sent to another
settlement and to institutions. 1t is
wonderful how considerate, careful
and kind the simple people are toward
their charges, and a peep into the com
munity would probably terrify physi
clans who had never heard of and
could not appreciate the good which is
being done in this "City Of the In.

A RACE ON ICE.
The Skates That Got Away and Those
That Were Recovered.

Thackeray once asked one of the
men who let out skates on the Ser
pentine whether he had ever lost a
pair through the omission to exact a
deposit, and he replied that he bad
never done so. except on one occasion
when the circumstances made it al.
most pardonable
A well dressed young fellow was
having his second skate fastened or
when he suddenly broke away from
the mans hands and dashed to the ice
The next instant thickset, powerful
man was clamoring for another pair.
He was a detective in pursuit of his
prey, and a very animating sight IL
was to watch the chase He was, as
he had boosted. a first rate skater. and
it became presently obvious that he
was running down his man.
Then the young fellow determined to
run a desperate risk Of liberty. The
ice, as usual. under the bridge was
marked Dangerous and he made for
it at headlong speed. The ice bent be-
meath his weight. but he got safely
through.
The sheriff's officer followed with
equal pluck, but, being a heavier man,
broke through and was drowned.
"His skates" said the narrator OF
the incident. 81 got back after the fn.
quest. but those the young gentleman
had on / never saw again"

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Red
wood Falls Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of back
ache.
To be. cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
Mrs. VIM. Buchanan, living on N.
Third St. Montevideo, Mimi, says:
Whenever my husband caught cold
he was troubled with his kidneys.
He had to wear pad over the region
of these organs to keep them pro-
tected from the weather. His back
was very lame and at times there
would be sharp pains through the
loins He complained Of a tired,
listless, WORKOUT feeling and he GER
tainly had all appearances of very
sick man. While he was suffering
from one of these attacks my atten-
ton was drawn to Doan's Kidney
Pills, and | procured a box for him.
They did him a great deal Of good
and | can recommend them very
highly to other sufferers.

Modest Goldsmith.

Oliver Goldsmith was an underpaid
man from start to finish. Two hun
dred and fifty dollars for "The Vicar
Of Wakefield" was bad enough. yet
for THE Traveller he got but 500
and $25 for his English Grammar {"
For THE Deserted Village" however.
his publisher sent him $500. This he
at once returned, with the message:
ut is too much. 1t is near 5 shillings
a cOuplet, which is more than any
book owner can afford or, indeed, any
modern poetry is worth So he died
with $4,000 worth of debts. WAS
ever poet so trusted before? said DIR.
