81 of Busy Readers.

Fred D. Sherman, state immigra-
ton commissioner, has completed 4
quartet of books devoted to Minne-
sofa agricultural life, which members
of the state immigration board believe
will go far toward bringing settlers
here.
The state is divided by Mr.. Sher-
man into four districts, southern, GEN.
trail, northwestern and northeastern.
The book is profusely Illustrated.
Northeastern Minnesota is devoted
to the great "cut over country where
lands are cheap and where common
sense and hard work, accompanied by
very small capital, spell ultimate sue
cess. The book takes in everything
from western Beltrami county across
the state to Lake Superior and from
central Pine county to the Canadian
line.
Northwestern Minnesota deals with
the great Red river valley prairie
country from central Clay county
northWard to the Canadian line.
Southern Minnesota is defined as all
that portion of the state lying to the
south of an imaginary line drawn
through St. Paul west to Big Stone
county. In that book Mr.. Sherman
tells in picture and word of the high
ly developed corn belt. Central Min
nesota takes in that territory.
Each book contains 81 pages and is
i'm several colors. About $4,000 Of
each will be distributed through that
territory from which Minnesota draws

Pure Drinking Water.

The geologic resource of greatest value to the health of communities is 8 supply of pure drinking water. It is generally recognized that a number of diseases, prominent among which are typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery- a disease more common in tropical eli ,mates but found also in the United States-are contracted through contam- mated water or contaminated food Therefore supply of pure water will eliminate one of the sources of such infection.
 It is highly desira bIe to obtain sup plies of domestic water from sources other than the shallow wells, some of them open, that are found near many houses. The water obtained from deep wells has perco1ated through sands and other material for so great a distance that it's impurities have been removed by filtration, and it possesses a sani- tary value that cannot well be overes- .timated, for such water is free from the bacteria causing typhoid fever and the protozoa causing amoebic dysen- tery, and it's use obviates the necessity for shallow wells that may serve as a breeding place for.

Moreover, the mere strain upon the endurance is enough to tax the vitality of any man to the danger point. No one familiar with the duties of the position could by any Possibility covet the appointment.
 Under circumstances am I to be considered a candidate for the chair manship2. The new chairman will be chosen by the incoming national com 1nittee which will solicit the sugges- tfons of MT.

washinq+on at Night.

Night life comes on swiftly when it gets really started Night in Washing ton is a beautiful girl drawing a black velvet, jewel bespangled cloak over white shoulders. The streets are light ed with dull bronze, rather low lamps; artistica11y perfect lamps that hold dull white, glowing globes. The lamps are very close together. They are the pearls that the girl winds about her throat and in her dusky hair.
 . The White House stands out, glim- mering boldly against the black of the foliage, it's lighted windows dimmed with tightly drawnscurtains. What of national portent may not have hap pened behind those same curtained windows! Perhaps fear has grappled with bravery behind the shelter of the friendly walls: perhaps hatred and love zhave clashed- Perhaps. towards have become strong, and surely strong men have wept.A Characters and homes and nations have been nodded behind those friendly blinds.-Margaret B.

The Jumpinq Froq Story.

It was in the Angel Camp bar that Mark Twain heard from an ex-pilot called BeE Coon the Jumping frog story. Clemens related it to Artemus Ward, who urged him to write it, to be included in a book that Ward was pub fishing. Clemens dallied and sent it to the publishers too late, but they handed it over to a dying paper called the Saturday Press, which gladly gave it pride of place in it's columns on Nov. IS, 1865. Professor Sidgwick synopsized it in Greek form for <his book Greek Prose Composition and thus arose the legend thatAthe jump ing frog story originated in ancient Greece, legend in which Clemens him. self believed till Professor Sidgwtck undeceived him in 1899 by telling him that the Greek version was merely a translation of Clemens own work
