Curious History Of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

sNVTNVICIu 0ONIINOIy w t. o..
How did the United States come It
get that small corner Of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary OF Minnesota! History OF
that little 'uose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota ind which
constitutes the nOrthernmost point OF
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty OF 1883 the boundary
between the United States and British
possessions IA fixed. A certain point
on the Lake OF the Woods was mutual
~ agreed to us II starting point, this
being considered the headwaters Of the
st. Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
At that time it was not known wheth-
CT this point was north or south q" the
f%orty-ninth parallel. but it was known
to be close to it. The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should so north or south TO the forty
ninth parallel. as the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north Of the forty-ninth par
alIeI, and so ut this place the boundary
makes u jog above that line. ,
Uncle Sam thus has Il little piece Of
territory Of about Il hundred square
miles in extent north Of the general
boundary. And the joke Of it is that
any one has to.go by water in order to
reach this little piece OF territory unless
lie wants to go through Canada.-Path-

Sharpening a Pencil.

An expert manual training man talk
ed with the writer about sc simple a
thing as sharpening a lead pencil. In
the first place. he says, the knife should
not be oversharp. but should be a
little dull. as if too sharp it will cut
quickly through the wood and cut
away the lead. Then. again. he says.
it is best to hold the pencil in the left
hand with the end to be sharpened
pointing away from. you and to cut
away with a pushing cut rather than
toward you with a drawing cut. as
then the point of the pencil is rested
against the side Of the thumb and is
sharpened by a draw cut stroke of the
knife bladc.-Scientitic American.

NORTH DAKOTA
CROPS BETTER
Than EXPECTED

Grand Forks, Sept. 2.-Harvest in
North Dakota is nearing an enc and
the threshing machine is now in uni.
versal demand. AS the season pro,
crosses it becomes more and more
evident that the crops are running
ahead Of estimates of the past few
weeks. For a time it was feared that
this season would not be a good one
but reports indicate that in most parts
of the state the wheat is threshing
out close to an average yield, and
other grains are doing even better. On
some of the demonstration fields near
Grand Forks, yields of thirty-thrce
bushels of wheat to the acre are re.
ported.
On the Haggert farm, near Haggart,
q 200 acre field of oats averaged 50
bushels to the acre. A 200 acre field
Of wheat on. the same farm gave a
yield Of % bushels per acre.
One of the most satisfactory phases
of the crop situation this year is the
splendid. corn, crop. Throughout the
entire state tie crop is fast reaching
maturity, and It is probable that this
will be the banner year for corn in
North Dakota.
Never in the history Of the state
has there been SO much blowing done
In August. Many farmers are plow.
ing before stacking or threshing, NOV
ing the shocks over into the plowed

county, for the larceny of about $50
bushels of flax. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty. Sentence has
been deferred to allow the defendant
time in which to prepare a motion
for a new trial. 1t is said that the
defendant has, up to the present time,
paid out some $1,000. In other words.
he has paid more than $11.5O per
bushel for the flax involved. If he
is granted a new trial and is acquit-
ted the legal fight will have cost him
about $4,000.
