Various Advantages Found N Ar

AT q place where l lately visited,
said a man just back from the coun-
try. Il found that my host had two
houses which stood about two hun
dred feet apart. He had not built
these houses but had bought them,
one after the other, together with
the grounds and some acreage proper
~ around them. II he bad built here
fer himself he would doubtless have
built one big house; but these two
houses served his hospitable purposes
ard his own comfort very well.
One of these two houses was COM

and under its roof also were sheltered
guests when these were few in num-
Der. but II the visitors were more nu-
mercus quarters were provided for
them in tho other house, which was
thus practically a guest house.
In another way the two houses
serred conveniently and comfortably

simply dwelt for the time in the 9TH

FARMING BACK IN 1900
Asricuturist Lived in tho Simplest
Manner and is the strictest
Economy.

In q well bulk cabin Of logs the
farmer lived in the simplest manner
and with the strictest economy. His
rooms were warmed and his food was
cooked by a fire in 10-plate iron
stove. which sent the gases up the
fue OF solitary chimney that rose
from the middle of the house. His
food was chiefly pork and rye onions
and sauerlraut, mix and cheese, tur-
nips and Indian corn. Sometimes
fresh meat was added. But no beeves
nor sheep were slaughtered till every
part of the carcass had been disposed
Of among the families on the neigh
boring farms.
With this exception. everything he
ate grew upon his own land. Every
thing he wore was made under his
own roof. The good wife and her
daughters cultivated the garden patch
that lay near the house, trained the
honeysuckIes that shaded the door,
spun the max and woolen yarn, work
ed the loom, made the cheese and
butter and. when harvest came, toiled
with the sickle in the field. II he
had a servant on the farm, the man or
woman was a redemptioner-Fro

Literature for Criminals.

Scientific burglary is perhaps prac-

literature on the subject which the
police and difficult to suppress. And
some time ago a huge volume was
openly published which elucidated all
the latest methods Of crime. from rob
bing a till to blowing up a bank safe.
Most OF the copies were seized and
those that remain are nearly As valu-
able as first folio Shakespeares. On
this side Of the Atlantic. however.
scientific instruction in the criminal
are has hitherto been confined to
magazine articles. although the pros
ent writer knows at least three books

An Airboat.

The aeroplane is an airboat rather
than a flying machine. says St Mich
olas. The only action Of the bird that
It initiates is the birds soaring. in
nearly the same sense in which boat
floats or a duck swims. With the
duck, however. there 10 one difference.
1t shares the balloon principle, b.
cause its body will not sink when It
stands still whereas tae aeroplans
will fall unless 1t is constantly urged
forward. The duck is lighter than its
bulk Of water. as the balloon is light
er than ite own bulk Of air To call
an aeroplane = flying machine II
therefore exactly the same as to eaA

vos1 Pretty Tale Found In Folk Lore
sf the Aborioines Of
Japan.

The Ainu (the aborigines OF Japan
have many legends about birds. one OF
which is very pretty. 1t is thus given
BY a recent writer:
"The skylark used to live in heaven.
One day the God in heaven sent him
down to the earth with a message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
to return the same day. But the lit
tie bird thought the earth such a nice
place that he stayed to play. He was
here 10 long that 1t began to grow
dark. and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
TO heaven but God met him when he
was about six-score feet up. and said
Why did you not return as l told you7
As, therefore, you have disobeyed my
words you shall not return to heaven,
but live upon the earth. Although
you may attempt to fly as high up as
heaven, yet you shall never be able to
get any higher than one of two-score
of feet The little bird was exceed
ingly concerned at this, and arguing
with God. said: oh, great God. as the
world you made Is SO beautiful
could not hslp taking look at 1t, and
SO got late Although you chide ms
for this yet I will ny back to heaven
In this way he answered God. But
God did not consent. Therefore the
little bird grew more and more dis
tressed and daily went as high as he
could, pleading all the time; yet God
would never consent to his entrance
into heaven again. He therefore re-
turned to the earth to play. After
time he ascended and did the same
thing yet God did not consent. The
same thing continues to happen now
every summer but God never will al,
low him to return"
This, as have said. is very pretty
and even spiritual. but 1t seems TO
have been happy accident, for It is
In striking contrast to the other le-
gends, which are more or less stupid
and poir'less-Forest and Stream.

BY building its lines through lands then worth less
than S5 per acre. the Union Pacific Railroad has aided in
increasing the value of those lands many fold.
The assessed value of all property in Colorado has in
creased from $219 176 in 1900 tc 646 1909
There has been more important factor than the
Colorado railroads in creating this wealth.
The resultant prosperity has increased the value of
the railroad.
In 1900 the Union Pacific paid taxes in the State of

Commenting on the republican sta
committees

Commenting on the republican state
platform the Long Prairie Leader re-
marks: "It declares vigorously for
reapportionment and binds the party
to see that reapportionment is accom-
plished. The party will not lose any
votes by this declaration as there is
not a man, woman Or child within the
states borders who is opposed to re-
apportionment. Editor Lee will dis
cover that there will be several
gentlemen in the next legislature
opposed to reapportionment. But it
is up to the republican party to re-
deem the pledge made in it's platform.
If the republicans are in control of
both branches of the legislature the
party will be held responsible if a fair
apportionment law is not enacted.
