The press announcement of the
sudden death of David J. Brewer of
the u. S. supreme court, which oc-
Cured last week, reminded The Ca
zette man Of his first glimpse of that
distinguished gentleman when he
was not at all distinguished, but was
a young lawyer in good standing be-
fore the bar at Leavenworth, Kan.
This was forty years or more ago,
the writer going to Leavenworth
for his first job as a printer, after
serving his apprenticeship. in 1867.
Leavenworth at that time was city
nearly as large as New Ulm now is
possibly larger but would-be
rival of Kansas City, struggling.
unsightly river town then. Justice
Brewer was always a democratic,
approachable man, and about the
nearest approach to acquaintance
the writer can claim. is that on one
or two occasions the future II. S.
justice ushered him to seat in the
old Congregational church at Leav-
enworth. with which religious body
Justice Brewer was actively connect
ed to the day of his death. At that
time Mr.. Brewer was a little past
thirty years of age. and was suffi-
GENTLY unlike other men to leave in
our mind the. memory of the re-
markable height of his fine head
from the eyes upward. Time has
shown that that dome of thought
was well stored, his death last week
being mourned by the best Ameri-
cans at the nations capital. In ac-
cordance with the expressed wish Of
the distinguished iurist. the body
was taken back to his old home in
Leayenworth for burial.

Tennessee is badly in need of a
law protecting its song birds. if the
Nashville American is correct in
stating that at Lotion, in that state,
robins are selling readily on the To-
cal market at 10 cents dozen. 1t
should be explained that the robins
are not so numerous as they used TO
be, for the fact that they sell for 10
cents a dozen has induced many men
and boys to engage in the wholesale
slaughter of the birds. Thousands
of the robins gather in the cedars to
roost, and hunting parties go in the
night and capture and kill them in
large numbers. One party caught
$500 birds in one night. One hunt
er caught 377 birds in one tree. It
is estimated that 10000 have been
killed within the last three weeks.

Official Paper of City and County

Several cases of fake wolf bounty
work have been reported in this state
in recent years. but we do not recall
any on as large scale as that which
was recently unearthed in Canada,
where two white men and nine In
dians worked the repeater" scheme
in securing wolf bounties on wolf
skins to the tune of $4,000. The
Princeton Union explains that the
officials are behind the times in not
requiring the auditing official to
punch holes in the pelt. and that the
takers made of each skin used a
source of income which lasted until
the fraud was discovered. It cer-
tainly was a skin game. alright.

The Waseca Commercial club re-
Gently secured we'll known town
boomer to talk before them about
methods for improving the city and
increasing it's trade. The Her
aid reports that he suggested num-
Der Of things, some of which would
be as applicable here in Redwood
Falls as at Waseca. The providing
of a market for small fruits, garden
truck and produce on large scale
was one of the industries which GER
tainly might well be stimulated and
encouraged in this vicinity. At pres
ent, fruit and vegetable growers are
confronted with the fact that it is
easy to glut the limited demand for
these things, without any provisions
for shipping in quantities. A can
ming factory or associated effort to
secure refrigerator cars at such
terms that there would be good
profit for shipment to the city mar
kets or to supply the demand in cer-
tain western points where these
items cannot be successfully grown,
might solve this problem. Encour-
aging the increased production of
dairy products was another sugges-
tion which might be more hopefully
undertaken here than in Waseca, for
the reason that Redwood Falls has a
permanent and well managed insti-
tuition here already that can handle
double its present receipts If the
farmers in this territory would pro-
duce the materials. Making Wa
SEGA beautiful and advertising its
great advantages as a summer re-
sort, was another suggestion that
has already been acted upon to some
extent and might well be more ener-
getically pushed. along with the as
sociated suggestions Of the town
booming expert, stopping out Of
town buying Of merchandise. build
ing parks and public play grounds,
continuing the ChautauQuas. i'm
proving the public schools. etc.
Securing q hospital was another sug-
gestion that might well apply here.

The PoIonzelo Arrow.

"An arrow studded with the most
costly Of stones, tipped at both ends
with pure virgin gold and headed with
the feathers of the rarest birds" Such
is the description given Of the "Polon-
zelo arrow" which in 1434 was pre-
sented to Sir John Dalcourt by Span
ish gentleman This wonderful arrow
was made In 1904 by an ancestor Of
the Spaniard's, and every stone and
jewel with which it was set was said
to represent human life cut short
through its instrumentality. The stones
indicated the number of men to whom
it had carried death, while the curious
" fashioned gold and silver jewels
represented the women who had fallen
under its poisoned point.

haye nothing that the assessor can
find. 81 per cent of the entire pop

cities 80 per cent have more than
$500, while 72 per cent of the people
who live in the country have more

into $500 is 72 out of 100 if you re-

Bargain Rushing Versus
Sport of Rah! Rah! Bows
BY PARA DALTON.

- All! Rah! Rah!
K Football, Football-Rah! Now
- which is the worst-footbaI
or the bargain sale rush?
Football is another thing in which
our American boys engage that is
worrying the foreigner, especially
the Italian. He says, "They kick-a
the ball. rush-a the field, kick-a the
head, pile up In a da heap-great
game, this American football"
Most women look at football in
much the same light and with little
or no understanding of the compli-
cations of the game than the for.
eigners, and don't think very much
more of it.
Men talk about the women at a
bargain day rush. Why, it isn't to
be compared with a game of foot.
ball. The boys, especially the col
lege boys, say they play II H
for fun; well, that might be, for
they love excitement and the field
is the place to get it. Perhaps it
is partially for similar reasons that
women attend bargain sales; but
there Is one consolation about it
they don't have to wear shin guards
and rubber Notifications for their
noses.
Now, boys, after you rush like
mad in a football game, how can
you stop to censure them for going
to bargain sales? Listen to what
some Of the Spokane popular maids
think about football:

one to be made acquainted with
the circumstances of the recently
acquired wealth. We are money in,
while they are money out"
Miss MabeIIe Spencer: "One grand

they played to kill. Talk about
women going to bargain sales, why
it isn't to be compared to football.

some Of the West End shops,
where quaint brooches in the form
of large insects of gold or silver,
or enamelled in their natural
shades are to be seen. Another
pretty style is musical instruments
in jewels and enamels.
"The greatest care is exercised
over these little musical brooches +"
a West End jeweler said. Guitars
and banjos, violins, violoncellos,
harps and lutes are made of moth.
er of pearl. opals. silver or gold,
and the strings are formed of sill
yer or gold wire.
THE insect brooches are very
popular. They are larger than
usual, as, of course, beetles and
bees and butterflies have been
seen before, but these are made
life size. and therein lies their
novelty.
They are perfectly modelled,
and one of the prettiest designs IL
a life-sized lizard made in dark
green enamel.
Large moths are used as pins
from which to depend small crys-
tai watches. Butterflies are made
In enamel, for which brilliant blues
and green's are used especially.
Silver beetles are also another
new fashion. They are worn as
brooches, and can also be employ.
