Between 1000 and 5000 persons
disappear from New York City every
year. Most Of them do so because
they want to. Real mysterious dis
appearances are few, so far as police

approval by his North Dakota admir-

The Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Minnesota has been fortunate in bish-

in North Dakota for two years and
came to Minneapolis as coadjutor be-

pate showed the profit of that training.
It developed his native spirit of toll.

made him a power in church assem-.

compromise in the burning contro'
versy over missions in Latin-American
countries a few years ago put at the
service of all American Christian
churches the love of unity and coop

A cup of hot water on rising,

Will act as tonic for anything chronic

A cup of hot water adds fat;

And even for cancer you get the same

A cup of hot water cures that.

ANDREW BONNER PROSPEROUS

Sanborn Enterprise: In 1880 An
drew BONNER arrived in Sarborn.
Three dollars constituted his worldly
possessions. He went to work in the
section crew at $1.25 day and work
ed at odd jobs wherever he could find
them outside of regular working hours.
In two years he managed to save about
$500. He bought a REIMBURSEMENT for
a quarter section and hired some
breaking done. Jacob Diss sowed the
first Is acres for him by hand. An

THE PROFITS IN WHEAT RAISING

The profits in wheat raising de-
pend very largely on the yields Sc
cured. On the North Dakota demon
stration farms the cost of raising
wheat has varied from 81 to $11 to
produce an acre of wheat. Most of the
expense in raising a crop of wheat
will be the same for a big or small
crop, such as blowing, sowing seed and
cutting: The cost of Irvine, threshing
and hauling to market will be more for
la big than asmall crop. On the demon
onstrat;on farms wheat has been
grown in rotation and las averaged
1904 bushels for the last ten years..
This makes a much lower cost per
bushel than if the average had been a
little less than IL bushels, which is the
leverage for the whole state.-North

WHENCE CAME "BLIZZARD"

Minneapolis Journal: The blizzard
itself came from every direction IN
Guiding the zenith and nadir, but there
has arisen a conflict of opinion over
the origin of the word. The Marshall,
Mimi, News-M Messenger repeats a
claim, first made in its files of 1888,
that the word originated in Marshall
in 1873. The News Messenger for
March 2, 1888, had this item:
The word blizzard was first used IN
Marshall Minnesota, by an American
settler, now residing in Iowa. 1t was
in the storm of 1878, at Charles H.
Whitney's hotel, and the man was Dea-
con Seth knowles, who was settler
of Lyon county, near this village. The
deacon was fine German scholar, and
while discussing the terrible storm
raging without, one speaker said no
word could express its severity, where
upon the deacon said its a biz
gard"
The News Messenger goes on to
state that the deacon knew what he
was talking about, for a German wit
Messing one of these overpOwering
storms, would say:
Der Sturm kommit blitzartig,'
which translated into English, would
be, THE storm comes lightninglike."
The transition from blitzartig to
"blizzard' is natural enough, but a ref
erence to the Century Dictionary
throws a cloud of doubt over the mat
ter. The Century says that the word
"blizzard' came into general use in
the west in the winter of 1880-1881. 1t
quotes letter in the New York Post
to the effect that the writer had known
of the use of the word in another sense
for at least forty years. The letter
says:
Along the Atlantic coast, among the
gunners who often hunt in parties sta.
toned near together behind blinds,
waiting for flock of migratory birds,
the word "blizzard" means a general
discharge of the guns, nearly but not
quite together-a rafting volley, diff
fering from a broadside in not being
quite simultaneous. This use of the
word is familiar to every longshore-
man from Sandy Hook to Currituck,
and goes back at least 40 years, as
my own memory attests.
Such being the case, the transfer of
the word to western storm conditions
of the blizzardy type is easy.
Here, then, are two excellent stor
les regarding the origin of the word.
Take your choice. Or is it possible
that both are correct-that the word
has two Independent origins? In
either case it is the work of the pa
triot and the good citizen to get the
accumulated results of the word off of
his walk.

AFTERNOON IN FEBRUARY


The day is ending,
The night is descending;
The marsh is frozen,
The river dead.
Through clouds like ashes,
The red sun flashes
On village windows
That glimmer red.
The snow commences;
The buried fences
Mark no longer
The road DER the plain;
While through the meadows,
Like fearful shadows,
Slowly passes
A funeral train.
The bell is pealing
And every feeling
Within one responds
To the dismal knell.
Shadows are trailing,
My heart is bewailing
And tolling within
Like a funeral bell.
