How w. r. Travers Got Even With
the Bird 'Fancier.

was affected with stutter. Mr..
Travers started in life in the grocery
businesg in Baltimore, Tut disaster
overtaking him there he went TO New
York, where he met with fair pros
perity from the start. and soon accu-
mulated wealth. The worst setback,
probably. that ne ever received during
his career occurred on one occasion
on his way home after the business
day was over. Being attracted by the
display in the window of a bird-fan-
cier and dog dealer, he was tempted
by curiosity to enter the place. One
of the conspiccus objects that met
his eye was a very large parrot. Mr..
Travers inquired of the proprietor OF
the establishment, who was in atten-
dance. &C th-th-that p-p-parrot tt
talk?''
IF it couldn't talk better than you.
replied its owner, I'D cut lis mead
off"
MIR. Travers made up his mind I"
some time or other he would get even
with this dealer in animals and birds.
He succeeded most effuctually. His
coachman made a complaint to him
that the stables was overrun with
rats. Mr.. Travers said, We'll, you
MI must hunt for r-r-rat doc"
The coachman made 1t known that
Mr.. Travers wanted dog. Among the
dog dealers who responded was the

Early next morning oir. Travers
was on hand al the stables. as also
was the dog-man with his terrier. Mr.
Travers ordered the dog to be put in
side the bin. together with a rat, but
the latter proved so ferocious and
showed such determined fight tina; 1t
kept the enemy at bay, and after a
prolonged combat. which resulted in
a draw, It was hard to tell whica
was the worst hurt. the dog or the
rat.
The owner Of the dog turned to Nj

PARSlFAL MANAGER WINS BRIDE
Springs Surprise on His Company
by Marrying Member Thereof
at Waseca.

Walter Hartman, business manager
of the ''Parsifal' company. sprung a
genuine surprise on his co-workers
Sunday by taking unto himself a
bride.
The unexpected event was pulled off
at Waseca and the bride was none
other than pretty Blye Power, one OF
the youngest members of the company.
Just how long the courtship had been
in progress MIR. and Mrs. Hartman
would not say, but certain it is that
no one knew anything of what was
going on until the last moment
At New Ulm Mr.. Hartman invited
the mem bers of his staff to wedding
feast at the Dakota House, and here
another surprise was sprung. This
came in the unexpected presence at
the hotel of the Turner Hall orchestra
playing the delightful strains of the
Lohengrin wedding march. It was a
welcome ruse, arranged by the COM
panys musical director.

couNTRY's BIG DAIRY PRODUCT
Yearly Value Approximates Two
and 0ne.nalf Million Dollars.

The milk and dairy products of this
county are five times the value of the
wheat crop and twice the value of the
corn crop, according to Secretary
Wall of the dairy and food commits
sion. Mr.. Wall says that the United
States consumes more than nine bill
lion gallons of milk annually, or
supply of one hundred gallons of milk
for every man, woman and child in the
country. This represents, including
milk, butter and cheese, a; value Of
$500, OOO, 900.
It is interesting to observe what this
amount Of money would do. One-half
of it would be sufficient to cancel the
interest-bearingt debt OF the United
States, pay for the construction of the
Panama canal and then build fifty
battleships.
In 1907 the product of $40, 595 cows in
Minnesota sent to the creameries pro-
duced 81 ,O44, 7SO pounds of butter.
