HIS HAIR 1 ms PM.

forms a Farmer.

forms 9 Farmer.
Cyrus ToWner, middle aged farm
er, living midway between Intervale
and Jackson, N. H., has been soured
by the summer boarder business, al
belt the neighbors say the misfortune
that befell him is due to his own care
lessness. But Uncle Cyrus, as he is
called, shifts the blame from his own
shoulders and "cusses" city folk up hill
and down.
Until short time ago Uncle Cyrus
possessed a head Of luxuriant black
hair that was the envy of the village.
1t was long, silky and thick, and the
owner was so proud of it that for four
teen years he refused to visit bar
Der; hence it reached to his shoulders.
Now all this is changed. Instead OF
locks OF raven hue Uncle Cyrus runs
his fingers over a pink stubble with
black roots and "cusses' softly as he
tells the neighbors how it happened.
Among the city folk who put up at
the Towner farm last summer were a
Mr.. and Mrs. Tate of Boston. They
were we'll groomed and prosperous, and
Ors. Tate particularly possessed won
drous hair. This hair, Mrs. Tate said.
was grown by a remarkable invigora.
tor compounded by a Boston chemist.
1t had done wonders for her, and she
believed it would almost bring out fuzz
on billiard ball. 1t was singularly
potent in preventing the hair from fall
ing, and she suggested that little ap-
piled to Uncle Cyrus scalp would
prove beneficial.
Once or twice the farmer rubbed in
little, and his head felt so good there
after that when Mrs. Tate left for
home he begged a few ounces of the
du1d. This he placed In q plain bottle,
on the cork of which he wrote the mi.
tails IF. S." (for scalp. About the
same time Mr.. Tate supplied him with
q lotion for sprains, and this went into
an identical bottle, labeled "F. 81 Cfor
sprains). -.
Uncle Cyrus was sparing of his scalp
invigorator, and as he escaped bruises
he had no occasion to open either bot
tie until week or so ago. His hair
then began to fall slightly, and he de.
cided that the time had come to apply
the famous remedy. When he took
the walls from the closet he saw on
the cork of one the letters IF. s." and
rubbed in half an ounce of the fluid.
His scalp didn't fee; Just right. 1t
itched. Then it burned. Finally it bills
tered. This was too much for Uncle
Cyrus, and he stuck his head in a pail
of cold water to cool it off. When he
had been somewhat relieved he looked
in q glass and nearly tainted on seeing
that his hair had turned a bright pink

PIGS TAIL DIS uPTs a TOWN.
Uncle Sam Called In TO Settle Curious
IS Controversy. -

Uncle Sam Called In TO Settle Curious
Controversy.
A little pigs curly tail has stirred up
the town Of wellington, O., to pitch
Iof excitement such as it has not expe-
rienced since the Mothers club de-
nounced bridge whist or since old Sim
Sedley thought he had discovered an
oil gusher in his front yard.
The town is divided into two camps
over that pigs tail. One cohort main
tains and proves by the -fifty-seven va
rieties of logic, from Socrates down to
Herbert Spencer, that Luella Under
wood didn't. wouldn't and couldn't
! send the tail to the former Mrs. Claude
Platt through the mails And if she
! did, why, it served Divorce right
! anyhow.
But the other legion is merciless to-
ward Luella. This camp believes and
shows conclusively why it believes that
Lucia Underwood sent that pigs tail
| to Mrs. Plat. And if she didn't, why,
| she had no right to be trapsing around
| with a divorced man, even if she was
eOAhS " CAtI)S viii ullu ~ ClcVcIduu
and get married.
Old Sim sedley, the only man in
Wellington who hasn't yet committed
himself, said that it was funny if Luel-
la and Claude weren't going to elope,
| as they declared they weren't, why did
they send the pigs tail to ex-Mrs. Plat,
and if they didn't send it, as they say
they didn't, wy we're they in the post
| Office when ex:Mrs. Plat opened her
mail, with that single pigtailed in
closured envelope the only thing in the
| box?
But the former Mrs. Plat blocked the
planned elopement and marriage, If
such it was. When she opened the let
ter containing the unique inclosure and
heard the suppressed giggle, as she
says she did, behind her she straight
way made formal complaint to the
postmaster, and Plat and Miss Un-
derwood were arrested.
When arraigned before United States
Commissioned Walther both Platt and
the young woman denied having sent
Mrs. Plat the pigs tail and the letter
accompanying it. But they were jailed
nevertheless for hearing.

AFRAID OF The Girl S
Albert karlberf Found Is
be Insane and IS Taken
to Fergus Falls

Albert Karlberg who resides near
Darling was taken before Judge of
Probate E. F. Shaw Monday morning
by Sheriff Armstrong to be examined
as to his sanity. For three or fouf
days previous, the mans actions were
noticed to be rather queer, and when
he was found and brought to this city,
both of his hands were frozen and he
was in bad plight.
In the examination Monday morning
Karlberg did not seem to remember
anything. HIS whole mind seemed to
be centered on the one thought, that
he had been poisoned with arsenic.
He was under the delusion that a
number Of girls were trying to poison
himself and cattle. He was found to
be insane, and was ordered committed
to the Fergus Falls hospital.
The man, who is as years of age and
single, was brought in Sunday after
noon and LOGGED in the county Jail
until he could be examined. During
the night, Sunday. he attempted to
commit suicide He had fastened one
end OF towel to the pipe up above
and was tying the other end OF it
around his neck when he was dis
covered Oy SnerlH Armstrong. After
this man was placed in the cell with
him to SEQ that he did himself no
bodily harm. Karlberg has resided
and operated farm near Darling dur
ing the past five years.
Deputy Sheriff Heroux took the
fellow to Fergus Falls Monday noon
for commitment at the state hospital.
The deputy reports that the man gave
him very little trouble until they
reached Wadena, but after that he
stirred things up, not being bound or
strapped in any way, because OF his
injured hands, He sang at the top of
his voice and continuously from there
on, kicked, and otherwise made it
unpleasant for the officer. On enter
ing the hospital at Fergus Falls,
however. the man suddenly Quoted
down and made no more resistance.

Apples In Boxes,

This subject would be threadbare
with all the discussion it has had of
late were it not for the urgency of the
facts. The apple barrel is by no means
a satisfactory package, especially to
the shipper of good apples, and in spite
OF obstacles the apple box is making
progress. A larger proportion of last
years apple crop was sold in boxes
than ever before. These facts came
most painfully to the attention Of east
ern apple growers when all through
the winter months Oregon apples in
boxes sold at good prices in all east
ern cities, while New York and New
England fruit was a drug in the mar
ket. 1t was situation which could
leave no doubt in the eastern apple
growers mind that something has to
be done. Naturally the eastern grower,
who sees his market thus cut out from
under him, thinks first of boxing his
own apples. He considers also the
fancy packing, trademarking and 9th
er selling devices at which the west
ern men are so clever. All these
schemes he must adopt, initiate or
improve. But there is one thing more,
and very important one, which must
be taken into the account. The east
ern grower must grow better fruit.
Eastern apples are conceded to be of
better quality than Pacific coast stock,
but the eastern grower has relied quite
too much. on this single fact. The
western apples are allowed to have
the best color and finish, but again
the eastern grower has taken this esti-
mate too much for granted. The high
quality Of New York and New Eng
land apples must be preserved, aug
mented and then advertised. The fruit
must be carefully hand thinned on the
trees in order to get uniform grade
for box packing The color and an
pearance must be improved by better
care. Western methods Of cooperative
packing, shipping and selling must be
adopted. These are large reforms
here pointed out, and the eastern farm
er is a hard subject for reform, but
these improvements have all got to be
made Otherwise the Oregon apple
grower will appropriate the entire east
ern market. and the eastern apple grow
ers will go into the milk business.

TODD COUNTY MEN LOSE DITCH
FIGHT,

Long Prairie, Mlnn., Jan. o.
Judge Baxter has decided that judicial
ditch No. 2, affecting lands In Todd
and Douglas counties. is to be con-
structed. The decision ends a case
that twice has gone to the supreme
court. ....
The construction Of the proposed
ditch has been bitterly fought,
especially by farmers in Todd county.
The ditch is to be an immense affair,
draining sixty miles OF territory. be-
ing forty miles in length and costing
between $4,000 ana $50, 600. The
ditch will empty into Osakis lake.
This lake is ten miles long and CORE.
spondlngly wide. So great volume
of water is it expected to turn into the
lake that farmers residing eight and
ten miles down the lake were among
those who were tiercest in their 0pposi-
tiOn to the construction of the ditch,
as they believed the lnpourlDg waters
would materially raise the surface of
the lake and thereby spoil their
= meadows.
Another army of DIRECTORS were the
Todd county farmers residing along
the Long Prairie river. They believed
and had engineers opinions to sustain
them that the proposed ditch would
divert the head waters to the Long
Prairie river south into Lake Osakis
instead of north into the Mississippi
river.
Judge Baxter decision wipes out
most of the assessed benefits to TOd0
county lands and in this respect is
pleasing to the ones who have most
seriously objected to the ditch. The
ditch IS being advertised this week.
1t will be the biggest ditch in north
ern Minnesota, except only those the
state is building in the Red River
