The Cattle Kings are Leavi e Texas Pan Hand NW ba They couldn’t af+ ford to stay —the land was too good for grazing. They got their ranches when land was the cheapest thing going. Some of ~ them had a quarter of a ' million acres, mighty few less than 50,000acres. They made lots of money—but it couldn’t last. Too many people wanted the land for farms. They offered the Cattle Kings good profit and the Cattle Kings took it. That ended the big cattle business. Now lots of these big ranches are for sale in small tracts, dirt cheap. Lots of them have already been sold. : It’s amazing what crops the farmers get on this land—forty or fifty bush- els of corn to the acre, right along; wheat 20 to 30 bushels; alfalfa 2 to 2% tons to the acre, three cuttings a year; oats, kaffir corn, milo maize. Size that up with ! what you and your FEAST FOR MUSIC LOVERS| Concerts to Be Given in St. Paul During the Coming Season. It is not at all unusual to find a wo- man with highly developed artistic ability, nor on the other hand, one who is endowed with good sound business sense, but to find these combined in one person is certainly rare. When a combination is found the successful impressario results. St. Paul has a woman in whom this rare combination is found, and that is why the music lovers of the city look forward each season to the announcement of the list of musical artists who are to appear under the management of Mrs. F. H. Snyder. As might be expected, on her list for the season of 1907-8 are the names of those who are recognized the world over, as the greatest musicians and virtuosos of the day. Heading the list is the Bessie Abott Grand Opera Concert company, which | will be heard at the People’s church | Oct. 28. This concert will be especial- ly interesting inasmuch as the non-ap- pearance of Miss Abott was the one dis- appointment of the engagement of the | Conreid Grand Opera company last spring. Assisting Miss Abott as vocal com- panion will be Eduardo Castellano, from La Scala, Milan, an_ operatic} tenor of the heroic type, who is highly | recommended by critics. Completing the Abott Concert combination will be ; Ada Sassoli, the harpist, who had so! great a success with the Melba com- | pany last year; also a quintet of strings, supplemented by piona and | flute. ; Hoffman. | The first pianist of the season will | neighbors have been getting on $75 and $100 land, and you’ll see where you get off.

There’s’ sim Ost. only one way to get even with him —= pull up stakes and go tothe Pan Handle yourself. Buy a good big farm for $10 or $15 an acre and see how easy it is to get along. You never saw better land for twice the money in your life. I know good land when I see it, and I know the Pan Handle land is tip top— good chocolate loam, 4 to 8 feet be Josef Hoffman, once famed as a child prodigy, now recognized as one} of the leading pianists of the age. Jo-| sef Hoffman is now thirty years old, | and while retaining the fire and vigor | of the youth has added to it the ma- | turity of the man. He was a pupil of} Anton Rubenstein; but even Ruben-! stein did not attempt to eurb the | strong individuality of his precocious | pupil. He is essentially a virile, sane | pianist; possessing intellectual power. He will be heard in a concert recital | Friday evening, Nov. 15, at the Peo- ple’s church. Sousa’s Band. The announcement of two concerts by the famous Sousa band will prove of considerable interest. The band deep with clay subsoil; plenty of water anywhere, 25to 50 feet down, Rainfall is abundant. Why don’t you go down to the Pan Handle and get a farm? It would pay you to take a trip down there just to look around. It doesn’t cost much: only $20 from St. Louis or Kansas City and $25 from Chicago, round trip. The Rock Island-Frisco lines have four routes’ to the Pan Handle—each one goes through a different part of the country. I have got a book about Texas that’s mighty interesting reading! Another about klahoma! Stillanother about New Mexico! ‘hey will tell you a lot you want to know about the Pan Handle Country before you go down there. Do you want one? The Rock Island-Frisco Lines have no land for sale, and are only interested in gettin; good, energetic settlers for the desirable, bul unoccupied, lands along their lines. Uhayve chosen several specific sections where conditions are especially favorable for new settlers, and I am advertising these sec- Hons. If you would profer some other section than the Pan Handle country look for my ad- vertisements in other issues of this paper, or write me for specific literature about the sec- tion you are most inter- ested in, ’ JOHN SEBASTIA!

Eczema Covered Whole Body for a Year—No Relief Until Cuticura Remedies Prove a Success. “For a year I have had what they call eczema. ‘I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. I tried all kinds of remedies, but could get no re- lief. “I used one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura, and two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, which cost me a dollar and twenty-five cents in all, and am very glad I tried them, for I was completely cured.

Ten years ago hej was unknown outside of the village of Michle, where he was born, and where he passed his boyhood in the humble home of his father, a gypsy gardener. Yet before he reached his twentieth year all Europe was ringing with his fame, and now at twenty-seven, an age when most men are beginners in their life work, he stands a master. Since his second American tour, Kubelik has added to his many achievements, tour- ing Europe and playing before the various crowned heads. His St. Paul concert will be given at the People’s church Thursday evening, Dec. 5. Olive Fremstad. | Years ago, in St. Peter, Minn., and later in Minneapolis and Duluth, a} young girl was struggling to earn al bare living for herself.

This “wizard of the piano,” as he is often called, ac- cupies a unique position; whether as virtuso or composer, the tremendous personality of the man predominates, and his life has been one long hour of triumph. His only St. Paul appearance will: be at the Auditorium, Wednesday even- ing, Jan. 15, 1908. Myrtle Bivyn, While it is customary to look to the in the arts, nevertheless at the present time many American women are mak- ing enviable names for themselves in all branches of the musical profession, Prominent among these is Myrtle Elvyn, the young American girl whose rare beauty is as much commented upon as her musical genius is recog- nized.

Get from any prescription pharma- cist the following: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. | The above is considered by an emi- nent authority, who writes in a New York daily paper, as the finest pre- scription ever written to relieve Back- ache, Kidney Trouble, Weak* Bladder and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of ‘the Kidneys, en- abling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheumatism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest injury to the stomach or oth- er organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It certainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent aythority, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it.

A writer in Pall Mall Magazine says that a well known American warder said to him: “I have been in prisons for men and in prisons for women. Discipline in the former is child’s play compared with the latter. As soon as a man realizes there is no use in re- sisting he gives in. But the women. eyen when we put them in straight- jackets, always manage to extricate at least one finger and to agitate that in a rebellious manner!” In the matter of conduct toward husbands and consideration due to the “better half” there is an especial code of honor. It has the stability that sanction by women of all countries gives it, but it does not resemble any code that a man would observe toward another man, nor which a woman would employ toward any human—ex- cept her husband. This code includes the right to search pockets, consult notebooks, open letters, read those al- ready opened. It includes the right tc confound household and personal ac. counts, to use on self the money in. tended by the master of the house for paying bills. This system is not fre quently practiced, perhaps, and less frequently admitted, no doubt, yet we remember one newly married woman who announced as a little triumph: “When I buy myself something I don’t like I just sell it to the house!” The peculiar indulgence which the conjugal state seems to call for as re gards the weaker sex in matters of honor more or less delicate was thus strikingly summarized by a philan. thropist accustomed to all sorts and conditions of people. Among the poor whom she visited there was a woman who in a fit of rage or jealousy had killed a man. In relating to me the case the philanthropist concluded sad. ly: “Yes, she killed him, and he wasn’t even her husband!” TRANSFORMATIONS. Curious Results When Coffee Drinking Is Abandoned. It is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum with- out any feeling of a loss of the morn- ing beverage, for when Postum is weil boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it is like the flavor of fipe, mild Java. A great transformation takes place in ‘the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum used, gfor the reason that the poison to the nerves—caffeine—has been discontinued, and in its place is taken a liquid food that contains the most powerful elements of nourish- ment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing cital programs in the spring. Her only appearance in the Twin Cities will be; in a concert recital at the People’s church in April. from coffee to Postum. Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There's a Reason.” GOV. JOHN JOHNSON OF MIN- NESOTA, HENRY WATTERSON’S “DARK HORSE” The October American Magazine contains an extraordinary article, the life story of Gov. John Johnson of Min- nesota. Johnson is the man whom Col. Henry Watterson has picked as the “dark horse” for next year. In an introductory note written for The American Magazine Col. Watterson mentions Johnson in the same breath with Abraham Lincoln. Johnson first made good as a clerk. Then he became a popular country editor. His two passions were books and people. He was elected to the jegislature, and he has-been twice chosen governor of Minnesota. Of Johnson’s personality, William Hard, author of the article, says: “The fact is that Johnson’s person- ality, so effective with people that have known him all his life in St. Peter, is almost equally effective with people who see him for only one even- ing on the platform. He is a public speaker of the first rank. Had this not been true he could never have won his first election. He was unknown when he started. But every man who heard Johnson speak is acquainted with him. You hear him and you feel that you know him and understand him and trust him. And the result is votes rather than ovations, “For John Johnson to-day, I repeat, is just what he always was, except that he has grown. He is liked and trusted as a governor just as he was liked and trusted as a drug store clerk and afterward as an editor. They said he had no training to be an editor, but he expanded to be an editor. They said he had no training to be a gov- ernor, but he expanded to be a gov- ernor.” Dr. Bell’s Plans, One or Dr. Bell’s plans for: the sum- mer of 1907, if things’ went well, was to put a motor in his kite and see what it would do. He has been experiment- ing for some time with motors and propellers, and drives an odd-shaped boats with air propellers, to see just what the action is. Of course, there will be no man in the kite for the first attempt, and the trial will be made over water, so that there will be the possibility of saving the kite if, or when, it falls. Dr. Bell has several mo- tors, and if the first trial gives any en- couragement, a more extensive and elaborate experiment will be made, and perhaps—who knows?—a man may make the attempt, flying without a cord, with a motor, and with a rud- der to steer. That is the goal in view; between it and what has been done extends a great deal of unknown and unexplored aerial country, but the man who is exploring has long scien- | tifle training and large knowledge to bring to it; better yet, he has the means and which in an inventor knowledge is of little use—From C. H. Claudy’s “Sci- entific Kite-Flying” in October St. Nicholas. Country Manual Training. Even manual training needs new di- rection as it touches country life. It may not be necessary to eliminate the | formal exercises of model work and weaving and the like; but some of the | practical problems of the home and} farm may be added. How to make a| garden, to lay out paths, make fences H and labels, are manual training prob- lems. How to saw a board off straight, to drive a nail, to whittele a peg, to make a tooth for a hand hay rake, to repair a hoe, to sharpen a saw, to paint a fence, to hang a gate, to adjust a plow point, to mend a strap, to prune | an apple tree, to harness a horse—the problems are bewildering from their very number, Manual training can be taught in the schools that are equipped for it as, in ten years, to start a revolu- tion in the agriculture of any common- wealth. — From L.

Frank Doremus, veteran, . of Roosevelt avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., says: “I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from . the time I was mus- tered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, diz- ziness and sleepless- ness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, having run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kid- neys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled un- til it was 34 inches around,and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I re- fused, and began using Doan’s Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradu- ally, the urine became natural, and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Inexplicable.
