Grorna of North Dakota talked with the president during the day about the fuel shortage in his state growing out of the alleged failure of the railroads to furnish car equip- ment. Mr. Gronna handed to the pres- ident @ letter from A. M. Beveridge of Lakota saying the people are freez- ing to death because they are unable to obtain fuel owing to lack of cars. The president listened carefully to what Mr. Gronna had to say and prom- ised to refer Mr. Beveridge's letter at once to the interstate commerce com- mission. TO PROBE LUMBER TRUST.

Washington, Dec. 14—The house, after some discussion, adopted a reso- lution of Mr. Miller of Kansas author- izing the secretary of commerce and labor to investigate the causes of the high prices of lumber in the various stages of manufacture and sale. This investigation is to be made with the particular object of ascertaining whether or not present high prices are the result of a trust. PATRICK'S CASE DISMISSED.

He is the hardest worked employe on the paper and draws the smallest pay check at the end of the week, He is bossed by the manager, the editors, the joband the news foremen, the assistant job men, the compositors; in short, by everybody in the shop. He is expected to be in two places at once, and have a dozen feet and as many hands. He is ex- pected to be a veritable Mercury for speed, and to rival a German scientist for accuracy, and when he does display a little of the “kid” and moves too slow or mkes a mistake, he is expected to submit to a cussing with angelic meekness,and not answer back. The poor printers’ devil! THE SUNDAY PAPER. One of the most interesting columns published in the state is that in the St. Paul Dispatch, written by the dean of all Minne- sota newspaper workers, H. P. Hall: Under the heading ‘“Ob- servations,” “Dad” Hall dis- cusses a variety of topics every day ic a highly interesting way. The other day he got to talking about Sunday newspapers, and declares that the Sunday paper has come to stay: I do not think a religious crusade could be started strong enough to warrant any publisher in the country in stopping work- ing on Sunday, provided he had any regard for his bank account, he says. Of course, b-tween a bank account and going to heaven, the bank account will win in newspaper or any other work. It is doubtless true the Sun- day paper will contine with us, and it is too' bad it is true. But the Sunday issue is the one that makes the money. Inmany instances it makes more than all the “other six issues combined. Quite naturally no publisher would want to part with such a golden-egg-laying goose. Nevertheless, the Sunday paper is an abomination, and quite aside from the fact that it is printed on Sunday. Asa mat- ter of fact, meost of the work on the big issue is done during the week and on Saturday night. It is an abomination because it is filled “’full of cheap reading, which, while it may be diverting for’ the moment, it is really & waste of time to peruse. People get the Sunday newspaper habit of réading, and gradually become unfitted for more serious writ- ings. - Men who have been rather 5 provement ON EASY PAYMENTS For the man or woman of moderate means we are offering lots in the third addition on easy monthly payments.

Someé are better than others. But ‘the indictment holds’ true against the greater majority of them. No doubt the week-day issues of the big dailies need elevating in ‘many instances, but they are largely ‘devoted to the news of the day and comments thereon; things that a man must read to keep abreast of the times. The Sunday issue does not pretend to devote a very large space to news. It is filled full of sporting ‘‘dope,”’ sensational gossip about plutocrats and aristocrats, special articles on silly topics written by silly people, morbid discussions of murders and murderers, with photographic illustrations, etc., ete.

The Influence of the Farm, bave for our social well being, and whatever promotes interest whatever raises it in intelligence and scientific spirit, is one of the most comforting influences of our civiliza- tion. And so to have our young men imbued with the true agricultural spir- it, to turn away from the adventures of the commercial life and the allure- ments of mere money making to the simple, productive, independent life on the farm, is one of the richest promises in our educational system. For there is where it belongs—to the expanding mind force of the nation. The finest triumphs of the next fifty years, re- sults that will go further than all other enterprise in blessing men, will be won on the farm. There is a science of soil culture, and the art that is to be based upon it will open wide the door to men of thought and refinement. The answer of the old artlst that he mixed his paint with brains is akin to the experience in the farming of the future, which will mix brains with the 8oil.—Columbus (0.) Journal. He Knew Them. “What's up, Tommy?' said a good natured London coster, who was pass- ing, to a small boy who was sobbing bitterly. “Oh, me farden! Hi've lorst me brite farden!” wailed the little lad, continu- ing his search. “’Ere, mates,” said the man to some others standing near, “let’s help the pore kid find ’is farden.”” And the com- pany set to work. In a few moments one of them pick- ed up the missing coin. “'Ere y'are, Tommy,” he said; yer farden.” Then, looking at it in the light of a street lamp, “W’y, it ain’t a farden at all; It's a ‘arf quid.” “Garn!” said the boy as he snatched away the coin. “D’ye think Hi was goin’ to let yew blokes know hit was a 'arf thick ’'un? W’y, wun of yer would ’a’ 'ad ’is foot on it afore Hi'd ’ad time ter turn rahad.” And he vanished round the corner like a streak of lightning.—London An- swers. ‘ere's The American Buffalo, The buffalo is the bulkiest living land animal native to North America. A full grown buffalo bull stands about five feet eight or ten Inches at the shoulder and welghs about 1,80C pounds. But specimens of over six feet at the withers have been recorded, and Mr. Hornaday tells me that he welghed a living bull at 2,190 pounds. A full grown cow stands about four feet elght at the shoulders and, accord- ing to Audubon, weighs about -1,200 pounds, though Henry says seldom over 700 or 800 pounds. The lower weight seems to be nearer the average run, but I have seen cows that stood as high and looked as heavy as ordinary | Rouie bulls. — Ernest ' Thompson Seton ‘o Scribner’s. Fish Sold Alive. Fleusburg, a seaport town on the east coast 'of ‘Schleswig-Holstéin, has an ex- cellent system of bringing to port fish which are intended for immediate con.’ sumption.

Its advantages are, first, that standing In it a man can shoot on every side of him; second, that it is convenient for the carriage of the occupant’s paraphernalia—his guns on racks on either side, his am- munition in a trough ‘in front, his other requisites in leather pockets here ond there on the sides of the machine and his bed blanket on the seat—and, thizd, that in a hinder compartment an attendant can stand to hold that monstrous umbrella over his head,or when quick loading is: required. take from his hand the gun just fired and, recharge it.
