WOMEN ARE BAD LOSERS.
That Is Why, 1t Is Said, Stock Brokers
FIGHT Shy of Them.

Nobody loves a stock broker, least
Of all his customers. This affords a
touching, if somewhat subtle. reason
why he does not want any women
spectators on his books.
There is another reason. l hate to
mention it, but you wiring it from me.
Women are not good losers. At times.
under stress of great speculative losses,
I am told they become lachrymose.
The one stock broker Of my aoquaint-
ance who catered to women specula-
tors is now in a madhouse. They were
all long of Steel at 80 the time it broke
to s, and all the water squeezed out Of
it in that decline was wept back into
it by these women. 1t was an eco
nomic disaster.
Stock brokers carry home with them
all the troubles of their customers, and
this poor fellow was no exception. He
used to lie awake all night picking at
the counterpart and grieving over
beauty in distress. Finally he went
crazy. They have given him a set of
stock brokers' books up there in the
asylum, and it would break your heart
to see him. Jeanne dare and Harriet
Beecher Stowe are long of Copper;
Catherine de Medici and Mrs. Brown
ing are short of Rubber: Maria The
resa and George Eliot are pyramiding
in Steel. Every now and then some
body is stopped out, and then there are
dreadful times. Charlotte Corday's,
Cleopatra's, Nine de Staeps and the
mother Of the Gracchi's margins are
exhausted. He calls to them for more.
They weep. l cannot go on. Women
have much to answer for-William

News Of Especial interest to
Minnesota Readers.
RULING AFFECTS Gig TRACT
Interior Department. Suspends Issuing
Patents for Swamp Lands to the
State of Minnesota.

A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary
of the interior, in a letter received by
Governor Eberhart notified the execu-
tive that he has suspended the is
suance of further patents to the state
of Minnesota under the swamp land
grant of 1860.
This action involves 100000 acres of
land claimed by the state and is a di-
rect result of the protest filed with the
department by w. r. Mckenzie of Be-
midi and G. M. King of Deer River,
officers of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment league, against the issuance
of more patents until the legislature
adopts a definite reclamation policy
The protest alleged that the grant
expressly provided for the use of the
money derived from the sale of these
lands in draining and otherwise i'm
proving them. This, it was said, the
state has not done and instead has di-
verified this money to school and char
liable institutions, thereby breaking
its contract with the government.
This contention is sustained by Mr.
Jones in his letter to Governor Eber-
hart. He asks that the state submit
whether it has complied with the
terms of the swamp land grant and if
not what steps it proposes to take
looking to the performance of the trust
imposed upon it.
Governor Eberhart said he is sure
the states title to the land will not
be questioned and that the suspension
simply means there will be delay in
having the patents issued until the
state shall satisfy the department that
it is acting in good faith.

SPECIAL TRAIN FROM CITIES.
Bankers and Business Men of Mime
apoIis and st. Paul Will Visit
Corn and Alfalfa Exposi-
ton.

All of West Central Minnesota is
interested in the Corn and Alfalfa Elk
position, to be held at Morris, Deem
Der TO- II and r.. There promises to
be the greatest crowd in the history
Of this section of the state. The mer-
chants, bankers and business men OF
the Twin Cities have become very
much impressed by the movement for
better conditions that is being carried
On in West Central Minnesota. They
want to meet the people who are do
ing things, and want to know how they
are done They believe that closer
acquaintance with the people Of this
district will result in a better under
standing and feeling between the
cities and the so-called country. They
realize that at no other time nor place
will they have such an opportunity
of accomplishing this purpose as at
the Corn and Alfalfa Exposition. For
this reason the Civic and Commerce
Association, of Minneapolis, and the
Association of Commerce, of st. Paul,
have decided to act jointly in inducing
a large crowd of people to attend the
Exposition at Morris. Arrangements
have been made for a special train,
with sleepers and dining car service,
and it is planned to leave the cities
Wednesday night and spend all of
Thursday, December II, in viewing the
exhibits, listening to the oratory, and
getting acquainted with the people.

WHAT OF YOUR COUNTY AGENT

West Central Minnesota was pro,
gressive enough to secure the major.
ity Of the. limited state appropriation
for county agricultural agents. This
section now has fifteen county agents
in fifteen contiguous scounties-a con
dition that exists nowhere else in the
United States.
These trained men are proving their
worth. Testimonials of the practical
things they have done to help indi-
vidual farmers and to better condi-
tons in their communities are numer-
Gus. Those who have watched the
work of the county men in West Cen
trail Minnesota cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the fact that this new
method of carrying the gospel of bet
ter farming and better living direct to
the men and women on the farm is
effective. The possibilities of the
work are unlimited
At the Corn and Alfalfa Exposition,
to be held at Morris, December 10, II
and 70, each county agent will have
an exhibit that will show the visitors
something Of the work he is doing.
The agents will all be in attendance
at the Exposition and the Short Course
TO be held in connection with it, and
Saturday, December Is, will be given
over to a discussion by and for these
field men. Those interested in this
latest method of improving condi.
tons, should attend this meeting.

Wealth of Detail,

Former Governor Proctor Knott of
Kentucky used to tell story of ma
tive who appeared as a witness in a
mountain murder trial where Knott
was an attorney. The mountaineer
took the stand, chewing tobacco, and
gave his name, his age and his place
of residence. Then one of the lawyers
asked him to describe his first meeting
with certain person who figured in
the case.

WEDGWO0D's MASTERPIECE.
IL Is His Reproduction of the Famous
Portland Vase.


Sir William Hamilton was an au-
thority on Roman and Grecian antiqui-
ties. His fine collection of them and
his great book on the subject prove
that assertion He wrote to Wedg-
wood about that much admired work
of ancient art 6he Barberini vase in
these terms: Except the Apollo Belve-
dere, the Niobes and two or three 9th
erS of the first class marbles, | do not
believe that there are any monuments
of antiquity existing that were execut-
ed by so great an artist" This is about
the highest commentator that could
be bestowed, and when we consider
that such work, so soaringly emf
nent, was successfully Initiated by one
of our own artist potters it is surely a
ground for national qualification.
The original vase came into the pos
session OF the noble Italian family of
Barberini, hence it's name. 1t was
acquired by Byres, the antiquary, and
then by Sir William Hamilton, who
brought it to England in the year 1884
Portland. Her descendant, the fourth
duke, deposited it in the British mu-
scum, owing to which fact it is best
known to Englishmen as the Portland
vase. 1t was lent by the duke to
WedgwoOd to make his copy from
The body of it had been much disput-
ed, but he found that it was glass. He
was not glassblower, but had in
vented his wonderful jasperware By
that time and decided his copy should
be made of that substance 1t was q
tremendous task and took some three
years in the modelling by lakewood
and others. The cost was never re-
cOuped by the subscriptions
It is justly esteemed to have been
Wedgwoods masterpiece. 1t has been
reproduced by his successors and by
other potters, but, of course, they have
not the same market value as those
made by the great Josiah himself. w.

cred he was the quarry sought by acct
dent insurance solicitors as the result or

terday. Driving to the department of
state, the secretary's carriage was mar
rowly missed by street car and mo-
ment later heavy electric bus came
close to ramming it amidships. In both
cases the escape was narrow.
The carriage was turning into Penn
syfVania avenue when the car. rounding
curve, started full speed ahead. A
crossing policeman saw the danger of a
collision and shouted to the motorman
who clapped on the air brakes hating
the car within few inches of the hind
wheels of the vehicle. Mr. Bryans driver
whipped up the horses, only to get d.
rectly in the path of an electric bus
which also stopped so suddenly that the
passengers were tossed about
