THE DRY WALL.
A Beautiful Art In Stone Work That
Is Passing Away.

Is Passing Away.
In the American Magazine David
Grayson says:
''In dry walls think the old stone
mason takes the greatest pride of all,
for it is in the dry WALL mean by
that a wall laid without mortar-that
the sheer art of the mason comes most
into play.
"Any one can throw wall together
If he has mortar to make it stick, but
a dry wall must stand out for what 1t
IS. built solid from the bottom up,
each stone resting securely upon the
one below it and braced and nested in
by the sheer skill of the mason
'SThe art of the dry wall is the an
speaks not only of the sincerity and
the conscientiousness of the old Puri-
tan spirit, but strikes the higher note
Of beauty.
"Many of the older walls l know are
worth going far to see, for they ex-
ton and are sometimes set in the land
scape with skill that only the master
artist himself could exceed. Those old,
hard wrought stone fences of the Burn
ham hills and Crewsbury, the best of
them, were honestly built and built to
.lAst thousand years.
"a beautiful art-and one that is
passing awayI 1t is the dry wall that
stands of itself that the old stonema-
son loves best of all"

FRAGRANT Fern.

Some say it has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. 1t reminds others Of fresh
strawberries. There are also those
who detect it In the perfume OF the
wild rose. Opinions differ as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all Opin-
ions are unanimous in praising it. So
they call 1t the fragrant fern.
1t grows in small, round clumps in
clefts on the face of precipice, out Of
reach of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for it. For this rea-
son it is not well known. Its out Of
the way haunts provide an effectual
hiding place.
The hardness of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t
grows in full glare Of the sun, in
places where more common ferns
would be scorched and withered. Yet
the fronds remain green throughout
the year, and even the year-old fronds'
which turn brown at the end of the
season, curl up around the roots OF
the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil-
adelphia North American.

Hot Air as a Polisher.

Hot air is used for polishing. The
articles to be treated are placed in a
basket In centrifugal machine driven
at a very high speed and heated air is
blown from pipe through the basket.
A high polish is thus produced very
rapidly. Nickel plated articles that
have become tarnished are made bright
In a few minutes Wet metal, fresh
from the bath, needs no preliminary
drying, for the current of air dries and
polishes it at the same moment.

Rast lima For Black aass.

Early morning is the best for black
bass on smaller streams, later part of
the dag till sundown very good. Cloudy
days midday good, especially if cool.
For fly fishing for bass early morning
hours and an hour before dark best
time. If full moon even later gets the
big ones.-New York Sun.

1 know a man who made a fortune

have had refining influence on him.
When in doubt as to what to say,
the wise thing to do is not to say it.
One smile of fortune is better than
three of her laughs.

it was thought that the different
dealers would be willing to move
their yards to the railway trackage
west of Front street if all were re-
quired to do so and thus treated
alike. 1t was thought that the best
way to reach the situation would be
for the city council to pass an ordi-
nance, refusing permission for such
yards anywhere else. 1t is likely
that the matter will be brought be-
fore the new council at an early date.
The committee on a mems rest
room met yesterday forenoon and
went over the situation. The COM
mittee thought that the womens rest
room is admirably located where il
is, and that the room in the city hall
where it is proposed to move it is
just suited for a mems rest room.
The committee looked over both 10
cations, and will probably meet
again with the officers of the la
dies organization that is raising
funds to maintain the present wom-
ems rest room. 1t is hoped to have
a report to present at the next club
meeting.

Railway system, with headquarters at

kato yesterday.
Because so many Canadians have
gone to war;" said Mr.. Gilkerson.
''the Canadian government has been
greatly concerned about getting
enough men to put in the crops in
the Canadian west. That govern
ment is making an effort to get TO-
900 farm workers in addition to what
there are now in each Of the western
Canadian provinces. In order to in
duce farmers from this side of the
line to go into Western Canada, the
Canadian government has made q
special reduction in the time requir-
ed for American farmers to prove
up on a Canadian homestead. The
American farmer can now go into
Western Canada and prove up on his
homestead in two years, living on 1t
six months of each year. 1t used to
take three years to do this. Fur
thermore, the American who goes
into Western Canada to farm is not
called upon for military service. He
is not subject to CONSUMPTION and is
not asked to enlist"

There Are Several of Them at Ro-
chester; Their Peculiar Business.
Fairmont Sentinel: Bet you don't
know what donor" is. Give it up?
Well, We'll tell you but we didn't know
either until fellow told us.
A donor has the queerest occupa-
ton in the world and there is only
one place in Minnesota where he can
get real good job and that is down
at Rochester, where people from all
parts of the world come to have their
troubles cut out.
Frequently in surgical cases it is
necessary to resort to TRANSMISSION of
blood to replace that lost in the oper-
alton and the same treatment is also
resorted to in treating some diseases.
In this operation blood is transferred
directly from the veins of healthy
person to the afflicted one.
A donor" is person who makes an
occupation of selling his good,
healthy, red blood for this purpose
There are considerable number of
people in Rochester who make their
living in that way. They ordinarily
give up pint of blood at time and
fpr this they receive SIS. When bust
hess is good, they can submit to the
process four times a month and many
people make their living entirely by
this peculiar occupation.
Of course, to qualify for this work a
donor" must be in perfect health.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
CALLER PLEAD GUILTY
Horse Trader Was Brought
Before Judge PIymat in
Police Court
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Burch Caller, horse trader, claim
ing to have come here from Waterloo
Iowa, today began sentence in the
Blue Earth county Jail, having plead
ed guilty to the charge Of cruelty to
animals. His wife in the meantime was
hurrying around, endeavoring to raise
the money with which to pay his fine
of SIS and costs, and thus release him
from Jail.
Caller has camped from time to time
in the vicinity of Mankato On Janu-
airy 26 last, he and two or three men
whom he employed, left two horses
standing out all night in the alley back
of the Clifton house on South Front
street. 1t appears that liquor had
much to do with the carelessness OF
these men. 1t seems that they all de-
pended ON each other to take care OF
the horses.
The next day the horses were found
lying chilled and helpless in the snow
The police took charge of the matter
and made an investigation. One of the
horses afterwards had to be killed
The other is still, it is said, in Callers
possession.
A warrant was issued on the COM
plant of Chief Eli Klugherz for Gail
ers arrest. Yesterday afternoon Caller
was picked up in saloon by Officers
John Albrecht and Andrew Lund-
berg. He was taken before Judge
Plymat and pleaded guilty to the
charge Of cruelty to animals.
The judge would have made the fine
heavier, had it not been for the fact
that the men who worked with Caller
were considered by the judges as
sharing in the blame for the terrible
exposure to which the helpless ami
mails had been subjected. 1t was a
terrible cold night, the mercury drop
ping to 80 below. The horses had not
even the protection of blanket.
