A MINNESOTA WOMAN OWNER
OF A CHEAP HOMESTEAD
A Woman With a Farm That Cost
Her Tea Cents.

A Woman With a Farm That Cost
Her Tea Cents.
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, a national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, appears
the following interesting account of
a woman who has a little farm that
cost her ten cents:
Miss Serena Helen Blue of Min
nesota is the owner of the smallest
government homestead. A few weeks
ago she went to the United States
land office at Cass Lake, Mimi, and in
return for ten cents received a deed
to her homestead, which is a little
less than tenth of an acre in size.
1T is a triangular point of land
jutting into Turtle Lake, and meas
ures 189 feet long by 38 feet wide
in it's widest part. To comply with
the homestead law she built log
house and lived in it for seventeen
months. The law required her to
cultivate at least 21S square feet of
the 3,484 square feet in her home
stead, but instead she cultivated
nearly half the area and raised to-
matoes, cabbage and clover.
miss Blue is 27 years old, and in
a letter to the Farm and Fireside
says: This fraction of land joins our
farm here and, finding it was gov
eminent land, l filed on it knowing
that such a beautiful spot would
make an ideal summer resort, al
though a small one. l feel sure that
some day it will be valuable piece
of land, and l can realize as much
from it by renting cottages as good
many do on a full quarter section.
The point has a mineral spring, and
also trees, some of which are balsam,
spruce, brentwood and pine. There
are numerous wild birds. The part
ridges come to my cabin door. "

WALK MUCH IS
HEALTH WARNING
United States Public Health Service
Tells How Death Rate Can Be
Largely Decreased.


The United States Public Health
Service has issued a warning to the
public. Here it is:
THE death rate after the age of
40 is increasing in spite Of more san
itary modes of living and greater pro-
lection against communicable dis
eases. The expectation of life after
40 is less than it was 80 years ago.
This is due largely to increased pre-
valence of the diseases of degenera-
,tion.
The muscles, arteries, and other
organs of those who as a result of
sendentary occupation or indulgence
take too little exercise degenerate
Heart diseases, kidney disease and
other ills follow.
Take exercise. Take daily exer-
else. Have a hobby that gets you
out of doors. Walk to your business,
to your dressmaker's; walk for the
sake of walking. Join walking club
and keep your weekly score Of miles.
Keep chickens, make a garden, play
golf or wheel the baby, but take two
hours of exercise every day.
Gymnasium work is good for those
who like it and can afford it, but
avoid heavy athletes. Don't try to
be a Strong man" The champion
athletes die young. Be moderate,
persistent, daily exponent of exer-
else.

ton ON Civil War Events.
ATLANTA, Ga.-When the Allan
ia Confederate veterans left for the
Richmond reunion they carried with
them a number of the famous old
Joe Brown pixies" so dreaded by
the union soldiers, with which the
Southerners fought hand to hand
when ammunition gave out.
In the second year of the war the
union blockade of Southern ports cut
off the Confederacy from arms and
ammunition. Joseph E. Brown, then
governor of Georgia, conceived the
idea of arming the soldiers with
pixies mounted on long hickory poles.
He went to work and had thousands
of them made-sharp and two-edged
like bayOnets, but much more deadly
in appearance and effect. The South
erners would fall on their faces when
they saw the yankees about to fire
a volIey, and then would rise and
rush with the pixies, often capturing
the Enfield rifles used by the enemy
before they could be reloaded, as
they were muzzle leaders and it took
from three to four minutes to put in
powder and ball and stick on the cap.

No Unhappy RecoIlectiOns.
Governor Slaton's recent commu-
tation of Franks sentence to life i'm
prisonment and the riots and mob
violence that followed it have left no
unhappy recollections in the govern
ors mind. Moreover he is not dis
turbed by any forebodings about his
future in his native state. He is up
North for a rest, his first in seventeen
years, he says, and will go back to
Georgia in September to resume the
practice of law, which he gave up two
years ago when he became governor
of Georgia.
Governor Slaton was accompanied
to New York by Mrs. Slaton.
They will remain in this city until
Friday, when they will go to the sum-
mer home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ledley
Hees at Sacandaga Park, in the Adj
rondacks, for five or six days. After
this rest they will go to the Pacific
coast on an extended tour of the
United States.

September to attend a convention of
the bar association in Boston. After

gIican clergyman. The marriage was
invalid because it was contracted
without the consent of George III.
The couple lived happily together for
ten years. Then the king married
Princess Caroline, who afterward be-
came a royal exile and by consent of
the pope Mrs. Fitzherbert and the
king renewed their relations in 1903.
The king died in 1880 and his NOR
ganatic wife in 1887.
Before his death King George "
tried in vain to get hold of numer-
Gus documents held by his morgan
attic wife. His successor, William
", appears to have accomplished by
kindness what George failed to do by
force, obtaining all but five of the
papers relating to her life with King
George.
Family Branch.
According to the present claims of
the FitZherberts a son was born to
the king and Mrs. Fitzherbert in
1886. This son is said to have lived
in Ireland, where he married and had
three children, two sons and daugh-
ter, and it is from these two sons that
the branches of the family in this
country trace their lineage. ]. Theus
Fitzgeorge, of Skunk, Sullivan coun-
ty. Pa, is claimed to be the present
head of the family here. 1t was he
who discovered the long lost docu-
ments relating to the family. They
are buried in an earthen jar in the
family cemetery lot and have lain
there for over half a century.
Choice Bit of Evidence.
One of the choicest bits of evidence
which the family holds is the letters
of Queen Victoria, written in 1914,
which states that she is sending a dec

after the year 1912.

over can the heirs hope to come into
possession of the $5,0OO,000 placed
to their credit in the Bank of Eng
