FARMER TURNS "DRY" spy.
Fergus Falls RuraIist Goes to Town
to Clean Up Reward Money.

Fergus Thomas Agern, Al.
bert Nelson, Henry Nokleby and Frank
P. Curry, four saloonkeepers of this
city, appeared in court here today to
answer to the charge of selling liquor
| to a minor.
1t appeared that I. H. Comstock, a
farmer living in this vicinity, had
asked some of the officers of the Civic
league how much of a reward would
be paid for evidence showing that
the saloonkeepers were violating the
liquor laws, and was informed that
such evidence would be worth $25 In
each case. He had then called on Je-
rome Gilbert, who had formerly been
his neighbor, and had spent an even.
ing about town in company with Mr..
Gilbert's son, Roy Gilbert, a boy OF
IL years.
In the course of the evening, accord.
ing to the testimony, Comstock and
young Gilbert had dropped into the
saloons of Messrs. Agern, Nokleby,
Curry and Nelson, and the boy had
"set up" beer and bought bottle OF
whisky in each of them. The boy
claimed he did not know that Com.
stock was acting as detective, and
that he bought the whisky to take
along on fishing trip which they were
planning for the next day. His evi.
dence on this point was disputed, as
the party to whom the whisky was Civ
en- for safekeeping stated that the boy
handed out part of it to be labeled
and put away.

LonafeIIow by a Younaster.

There is no rule against children oc-
cupying the table with their elders at
big hotels in the city, but 1t is not
often the little ones are seen in the
big dining rooms in the evening. The
other night party of eight persons
had table at hotel in upper Broad.
way, and a girl of eight years was
one of the number. The grown-ups
fell to talking about authors and
Longfellow came In for lot of praise.
The young miss remarked that she
was fond Of the poet and knew some
of his pieces.
One of the party wagered a box of
candy with the little one that she
could not recite any poem of Longfel-
lows that contained more than four
stanzas. 1t was not expected the
child would undertake the recitation
there, but she slid down from her
chair and before her mamma could
head her off she recited correctly the
whole of "The Children's Hour"
Every word was accurately spoken and
the verses had the correct swing.
Although the recitation was intend
ed for the party at the table, others
in the vicinity were attracted by the
incident and quit eating to listen. The
youngster informed those who hon
ored her with their attention that that
was "the way we do it In Evanston,
Ill"

chaos. He re-established his country
financially and was behind every
progressive movement. In five years
he doubled the national revenues,
without working hardships on indi-
viduals or interests. He reorganized
the army and wiped out brigandage.
President Diaz made many enemies
as he went along. The gradual crys-
talizing of the sentiment against him.
was obvious to others but not to him.
At first he laughed at the Madero ris-
ing, and those who know him do not
believe that anything less than the
most tremendous pressure could have
brought him to make the slightest con-
cession to his enemies.
He was twice married. His first
wife, the mother of hts three chill
dren, died during the MNximilian en-
pire.. He married his second wife in
1883. She was Senorita Carmen
Romero Rubio, the daughter of one
of his old antagonists.
Although the political campaign
brought to light much diysatisfac-
tion with his continued rule. the dis
turbances which eliminated in the
recent insurrection did not arise un-
til after his opponents found them
selves beaten at the polls. Francisco
1. Madero, member of one of Mexico's
wealthiest families, was candidate for
the presidency against President Diaz.
the principal plank of his platform be-
ing anti-re-election.
In November, 1910, General Madero
was convicted of melting the people
to rebellion and put in Jail. He es-
capped into Texas and called upon his
followers to join in general revolt
on November 20. Already there had
been scattered disturbances through
out the republic, but the fnsurrection
took it's first definite form on this
date. The Maderists issued mani
festo in which they declared that the
recent election had been enforced at
the point of the bayonet, charged
President Diaz with responsibility for
the uprising and declared his election
null and void.
The principle of non-re-election was
said to be the supreme law Of the re-
public, and President Diaz was de-
clared a usurper. This manifesto was
dated October and was circulated
privately for more than month be-
fore 1t became public. On November
% General Madero proclaimed him
self provisional president of Mexico.
and he was formally inaugurated on
his own estate at Coahuila on Decem-
ber 1, the same day that President
Diaz began his eighth term.
The recent resignation and final
passing of President Diaz was one of
the most dramatic events in the late
history of Mexico.

FARMER BOY FOUND HANGED.
Body Discovered Suspended by Whip
From Tree In Woods.

Rochester.-The lifeless body OF
Sydney Bigelow, the 15-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Bigelow, living
two miles east of this city, was found
suspending from tree, with a whip
lash about the neck and the whip stock
on the tree, in the woods on the
Bigelow farm, near where the boy had
been plowing corn all morning. The
discovery of the body was made by
neighbors, who noticed the team stand
ing without driver. Mystery sur
rounds his death. 1t has, been sug-
gested that the boy died at the hands
of patient at the state hospital, the
institution being but mile from the
Bigelow farm. The boy was fond OF
sAasing wild game and birds, and it is
suggested also that he climbed tree
with a whip in his hand and that in
some manner slipped with fatal re-
suits.

The Worth of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet
of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. Thu
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
scound alone betrays the flowing o1
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.

Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first ami

deavor, a barque of $40 tons. entered

versary, the flag was again unfurled
upon the spot where it was first dis
played, and was saluted by the guns
of the warships in the harbor.

WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That Tired Preacher Shouts
Have Such Desire.

A minister speaks of the curious efA
feet Of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
"You will doubtless understand how
the suffering from indigestion with
which I used to be troubled made my
work an almost unendurable burden;
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight.
81 had to be very careful as to what
I ate, and even with all my care ex-
perienced poignant physician distress
after meals, and my food never salts
fed me.
"Since I began the use Of Grape
Nuts the benefits have derived from
it are very definite, I no longer suffer
from indigestion, and began to inn
prove from the time Grape-Nuts ap-
peared on our table.
Il find that by eating dish of this
food after my Sabbath work is done,
(and always do so now) my nerves
are quieted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
Il feel that I could not possibly do
without Grape-Nuts food, now that I
know it's value. 1t is invariably on our
table-we feel that we need it to make
the meal complete and our children
will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot
be persuaded to touch anything else."
