sreware i SST ENTREE reese A GOOD PLAN, Experimental Farm Will Offer Sheep to Our Farmers Cheap. Superintendent Chapman, of the Expermental farm left yesterday for St Paul where he will secure a car load of blooded merino sheep for dis- tribution throughout the couuty. Mr. Chapman informs us that these sheep will be carefully selected from the flocks of the State farm at St. An- thony Park. Already he has dis- posed of about seventy-five of the number to farmers 1n this vicinity. The price hes been put at a figure that barely covers the cost of raising and freight, and the superintendent does not anticipate any difficulty in finding ready sale for the entire lot. Ths will give the farmers of Itasca county an ellent opportunity to begin the sheep-raising industry along the proper lines, as the stock offered for sale is of the very highest grade and well adapted to this chmate. There will be about one hundred ewes and ten bucks in the first ship- ment, which will reach Grand Rap- ids on Wednesday — of next week. any of our farmers who are interested in this matter should call on Superin- tendent Chapman at the Experimental farm during the latter part of next week, A Card of Thanks Through the columns of the Herald Review we desire to publicly express our most sincere thanks to the po- litical philosopher of the Grand Rap- ids Magnet for his very able assist- ance in securing our election on Tues- day last. We realized the strength of our opponents and had some fear as to the outcome until the sewer pipes ofthat organ were turned in our direction, We regard our unlooked for majorities rather as a repudiation of the Magnet and its brainless and unpnncipled editor than as a reflec- tion upon the gentlemen who opposed us as candidates, A.

Concerning one of the important cases tried the News ‘Tribune reports as follows: “Sheriff Nygard of Beltrami county passed through the city last night with Robert Kenney in charge, whom he is conducting to Stillwater to serve a life sentence. Kenney was convicted afew days ago of murder in the second degree. He _ killed a! man named Jerry Root of Bemidji last April. Root was the night marshal of the village and agent there for the Duluth Brewing & Malting company. The men_ had a quarrel and Kenney killed Root with a butcher knife. Kenney killed his own brother a number of years ago near Little Falls. He was convicted and sentenced for a for along term but was pardoned a few years ago. Ken- ney is about 50 years of age and un- married. He takes his fate philo- sophically and ate a hearty supper about g o’clock last night, which was sent to a room where the prisoner was guarded by the sheriff and a deputy while they waited 1or the night train for St. Paul. Root wasa married man of family.” Superintendent Experimental farm to St. Paul yesterday.

Towne, The Champion of MAJORITY It is the same old story—old as civilization itself. ‘The people will crucify their ablest and their bravest champions and piace a Pilot in the chair. Charles A. Towne, if reports may be relied upon, has again been defeated by that political strumpet, Page Morris who will again misrepres- ert this district in the halls of congress for two more years. In St. Louis county Towne made a wonderful run, not withstanding the powerful elements that opposed him both within and without the district. The fall- ing off in the vote of Stearns county the Common People. is Deteated. IS ABOUT SIX HUNDRED, Cass County’s Big Illegal Vote Is Responsible For It, and the fraudulent vote of Cass brought about the election of Morris. But that fraud fault of the whole people. The vote is possible, is the on congress in this county will be about even. Towne’s friends expect that he will receive about .40 of 60 votes that are yet to be reported from the Rainy Lake section. This would give Towne a majority in the county of only five. The official. ballot will not make a difference of 1o either way. The people are defeated, not Charles A. Towne. nr a ee THE EARLIER BENIN, Yad a Progressive Monarch in the Olden Times. good deal during the last few months, was at one time the center of a con- siderable empire, as African empires go, says the London Saturday Review. The name will remind students of ear- ly voyages to India, and especially of Vasco de Gama's, the 400th anniversary of which will be ceiebrated this year, that Portugnese curiosity with regard to India in those far-off days was whet ted by the reports which either a king of Benin or his envoys carried to Lis- bon of Prester John and the Nestorian Christians who held sway on the other tide of the Indian ocean, Henin was then associated, more or less intimate- ty, with Abyssinia, through which the knowledge of India reached the king of Benin. King Don Joan of Portugal sent forth two enyoyr via Egypt to dis- ever the mysterions land whence Ven- ice and other cities had drawn untold riches. He also dispatched Bartholo- meu Diaz on a voyage of discovery down the African coast, with the result that the cape was accidentally rounded and the way cpened up for the great voyage of Vasco de Gama in 1497.

A confirmed old bachelor declares that the graphophone was the only thing needed to make the state of single blessedness far preferable to the cares and doubtiul joys of matrimony. “I admit,” he says, “that on a stormy night, when one does not feel like g0- ing to the club or some place of a:nuse- ment or when one is under the weather and ts confined to one’s own room, ir ig apt to be decidedly dull; one tires of books and tongs for companionship. That ts Lo say, I used to feel in this way at times, before I bought the best graphophone that could be had for the money. Now I have only to set it go- ing and I am amused all the evening. I have the most charming and soothing selections played to me on the piano, snatches from the opera and old bal- lads sung to me in the tenderest and sweetest of voices and a repertory that is inexhaustible, for I can always have new music when I am tired of the old. If I have a cold I can put my feet in hot water and take a hot punch and be entertained as well as if I had a wife— and all without the worries of a hcuse- hold or any danger of the sweet voice becoming fretful or complaining. Be- sides,” continued the crusty old mis- ogynist, “I can always shut it up when I want to. I wonder how many hus- bands could do that to their woman- kind!”—New York Tribune. The “Chink” Was Not Slow. From the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat: “Yow may talk to me about the stolid, stupid Chinee,” said an accident- insurance agent, “but I know better. The other day I insured Hop Lee’s life for $1,000. A few days afterward a weak-looking ‘Chink’ called at my office and asked to see me. ‘Well?’ said 1. ‘Me wantee flive hundle dollar,’ said he. ‘What for? I demanded. ‘Hop Lee,’ responded my caller. ‘He gend me. Got thousand for dead, Half dead, wantee half money—flive hundle dollar.’ . Say, I didn’t do a thing to thet Chinaman.” ane Spectacles Used of Old. A monk named Rivalto, in a sermon preached in Florence in 1305, said that spectacles were first used in the year 1286, Benin, of which we have heard a | Strange Timidity in Horses, Young horses can be led up to a sack lying on the ground and induced to pass it by letting them smell it and find out that it really is a sack, and not the Protean thing, whatever it may be, which illusion conjures up for | them. Once the writer saw a very quick and pretty instance of experiment by touch made by a frightened pony. It was being driven as a leader in a pony tandem, and stopped short in front of where the rails of a steam tramway crossed the road the road. It first smelled the near rail, ond then quickly gave it two taps with its hoof. After this is was satisfied and crossed the line. On the other hand, a donkey al- ways tries to jump the shadows of tree trunks on ‘the road, though a similar experience of touch would _ have shown were as unreal as the tram rail was unsubstantial. Lastly, no horse which has once knocked its head against the top of a stable doorway seems quite able to get rid of the illusion that there sits up in the top of all doorways an invisib‘e something which will hit again next time he goes through. Hence, the troue blesome and sometimes incurable hab- it of horses “jibbing” when taken out of the stable. This is an obvious instance of the disadvantage at which most animals stand in regard to means of physical experiments. The horse, for instance, needs feel only the lintel to find out that it is fixed and does not move, and is not alive and waiting to hit him But except his lips, which are sensi- tive, he has no member with which he ean make the experiment. Except the elephant and the monkey, most of the “higher” animals suffer from this lack of the means of experiment. The won- der is, not that they suffer from illu- sions, but that they make so few mis- takes.—London Spectator. Mild Coercion. Mrs. Shrill—So you won't get me that new bonnet?

Knapp, in his evloxy upon Ruskin, tells how Ruskin begau by giving first a tenth of his income to the poor, then half, and finally near- ly the whole. If others would not en- courage the study of art in schools, Ruskin would buy ten water-color drawings of Wiliam Hunt, and give them to the public schools of London. He fell heir to one million of dollars; this amount he‘has given away except a sufficient sum to give him an income of fifteen hundred dollars a year. Upon this he now lives, the income of his books being distributed among his old pensioners and his various plans for socia] reform, He bestowed his art treasures with like generosity. He gave the marbles which he had col- lected in Greece and his priceless Ital- jan drawings to public galleries and museums, where they would benefit the common people. Refusing the in- vitations of the rich, and putting away the temptation to a life of elegant ease and refined luxury, Ruskin gave himself to the poor. His best lectures were never given where English wealth and social prestige were represented, but were delivered to working-girls’ clubs erd workingmen’s associations. If Rovsseau refused the yoke of law and service upon the plea of genius, this man, by reason of his talents, was careful to fulfill the duties not expected of mediocrity. Such Is Fame. The Rev. H. R. Haweis, author of “Music and Morals,” tells a good story in his last book, “Travel and Talk,” of an unconscious rebuff he once received in a railway carriage. An old gentle- man who sat opposite had been eying me over his evening paper with what I fancied was a look of recognition. Presently he handed me the paper and pointed to an article on a musical sub- “I thought, sir,” he said Ppollte- you might like to see this article.” One glance was sufficient. I recognized an almost verbatim chapter of “Music and Morals.” Disgusted at the fraud, I handed the paper back, remarking that 1 was quite familiar with the con- tents. “In fact,” I rashly added, “it is a chapter out of ‘Music and Morals,’ You may know the book? “Indced, sir, I never heard of it. Who is it by?” “Oh,” I said. “a man named Haweis —a parson, you know.” “Oh, really, I never heard of him.” “Haven't vou?” said I. “No,” said he. @h!” seid I, and the conversation dropped. So of whomsoever it may be said or sung, “’E dun know where ’d are,” in the long run “most everybody” finds his level.

If the Sun is a true reporter in this case Senator Kyle must ‘have abandoned hove of a recollection. Da- kota weather is so bad, Senator Kyle is reported as saying, that farmers are often very glad to get rid of their land. One of my neighbors saw a stranger leading a cow along one day.

When the stranger, who could not read, took the deed to Aberdeen tc be recorded he found it to call for four hundred acres instead of two hundred.
