When farm land in Illinois, Iowa adfl * Southern Wisconsin sells at from $75 to $126 an acre, is it any wonder that dairy­ men are looking for new locations, where land can "be bought for a mere fraction of these prices? Northern Wisconsin has dairy lands that cannot be surpassed aoy- where in the middle weBt that can still be bought "dirt cheap." Mr. John Mathieson, President of the Minnesota Dairy Association, in a letter to the Dairy Reporter, says: "I made a trip last summer into the hardwood tim­ ber belt on the 'Soo' Railway in North­ ern Wisconsin. I was surprised at the natural advantages offered to dairymen in that locality. There 1$ an abundance of pure water; clover, timothy and blue grass do excellently. The soil is productive, as Is shown by the crop grown on the lands in cultivation. This section is des­ tined to be a fine dairy region, all the natural conditions, climate, soil, pure wa­ ter and nutritious grasses are found here." The location is another advantage, being on the "Soo" Railway. Dairy products are taken in refrigerator cars direct to New York and Boston, where the best prices are obtained. Lands in this region can be had now at very low prices. The soil is a rich loam with clay subsoil, and is exceedingly pro­ ductive. If you are Interested, write for descrip­ tive maps to D. W.

"Then he, glanced around the room, apprehensively, frightened, a wild look in his eyes and perspiration on his brow. "Suddenly he set his Jaws together determinedly and with feverish haste filled his pockets with the bills and silver. When he had emptied the box he placcd it back in the va^t and closed and locked the door. Then he advanced a few steps and paused. "What thoughts must have passed through his mind at that moment as he stood upon the threshold between honor and disgrace! Never before nor since have I seen such agony on a hu­ man face as I saw then. "Presently he staggered to his desk and picked up a baby's photograph. For a few b: ief moments h« gased at It "A number of years ago, while trac­ ing the movement of a registered pack­ age that had been lost in the mails," said the old secret service man, "I missed train connections and was forced to lay over for several hours in one of the cities in a certain southern state. So, Ss the local postmaster was a personal lriend of mine, I called upon him. "While we were conversing in his private office a young man entered and the postmaster presented him to me as his chief cflerk. I have reasons for not revealing his identity, even at this late date, so I will give him the incorrect name of James Bradford. "As a matter of course I prefer, at all times, that my profession should be hidden from the public and especial­ ly from government employes, but, un­ thinkingly, my friend introduced me , on this occasion as a member of the secret service. "I was looking keenly into the young man's eyes and noticed him start and tremble. But he immediately regain­ ed his composure and offered me his hand, which I clasped warmly. "I knew at once that his was a guilty conscience. A thousand thoughts flashed through my mind. I tried to, in some way, associate him with the case upon which I was working, but I could not do so since the missing package could not have passed through his hands. "At this moment the postmaster was called from the room and I immediate­ ly determined to test the young man's nerve to the utmost. So I arose and clcsed tfce door. Then I turned to him. "Sit down,' I said. 'I wish to talk with you.' "I watched his face closely. I saw It grow suddenly scarlet, then pale, and I noticed that he clasped the arms of the chair so tightly that the nails were forced into the wood. "But I was at a loss how to proceed. That he was guilty of some criminal act I felt assured from his agitation, but I had absolutely no theory upon which to work. "Determined to unravel the mystery upon which I had so accidentally stumbled, I felt disposed to allow him to nurse the evident fear that I was in possession of certain facts regarding the crime he had committed, whatever it might be. Yet, so far as possible, I desired to disabuse his mind of any thought that I suspected his connec­ tion with It. So, drawing a chair in front of him, I laid my hand upon his knee and said, in a confidential tone: " 'Mr. Bradford, it is true that I am an agent of the secret service. But I beg that you will do me the kindness to keep that fact to yourself. I am here to investigate certain irregular­ ities in this office and, since you know my mission, you may be of vast as­ sistance to me.' "He promised to do my bidding, but while he seemed somewhat assured it was plain to see he was ill at ease. Then I dismissed him. "When the postmaster returned we continued our conversation. Present­ ly I referred to the business of the of­ fice and casually expressed a desire to see the last statement of the postof- flce inspector. My friend brought me a copy. It was dated but ten days pre­ viously and the accounts of the office were certified to as being apparently correct. " 'That is a good showing,' said I. •Who handles the funds of the office?' " 'Mr. Bradford,' he replied. " 'Is he married?' V 'Yes. He has an estimable wife and a beautiful baby boy.' " 'Reliable man, I suppose?' said I. " 'Perfectly. There is not a dishon­ orable hair in his head. He's been em­ ployed in the office six years.' "The young man's reputation cer­ tainly seemed good, but 1 determined to shadow him. I did so. Without, arousing suspicion I watched his every movement during the remainder day. I learned that he was alone in the office from six o'clock in the even­ ing until it closed at nine, and that it was he who placed all the stamps and cash in the vault before closing for the night. ^ "While idly Inspecting the office dur­ ing the afternoon I discovered a knot­ hole in the board ceiling. The second floor of the building was divided into office rooms, and I found that the par­ ticular room, the floor of which con­ tained the knot-hole, was empty. He gazed at It In silence. in silence. Then he pressed it to his lips and, turning, reopened the vault, took the money from his pocket, placed it back in the box and locked the door. On his face was a bright gleam as of a great happiness and up from the depths of my fceart there surged a cry, 'God bless him!' "With a smile on his face he turned out the light and I hurried from my hiding place. I met him at the door. He was startled when he recoghlzed me, but I held out my band. " 'Bradford,' said I, pressing his hand in mine, 'you couldn't do it, could you ?' " 'No,' he said, a tremor in his voice, 'I couldn't do it; I couldn't break my wife's heart and bring everlasting dis­ grace upon my baby boy.' " 'Now, my boy,' s&id I, kindly, 'don't turn back. Tell me the rest- perhaps T can help you.' "He looked me in the eye a moment. Then he said: " 'I will trust you, sir. I have been too extravagant in my living and have used about $500 of the office funds. I did not intend to steal; I expected to make it good, but I do not see how I can. I decided to run away, but I can't do it, sir; I can't do it.' "I rested my hand on his shoulder. 'Bradford,' said I, 'I believe you are honest at heart. It is not too late to recjtlfy your mistake. Go home now and go to bed. In the morning I will see what can be done.' He looked at me with tears in his eyes. 'Thank you, Blr.' he said. "Well," continued the old secret service man, after a pause, "I told the postmaster everything, but secured a promise from him to give Bradford another chance. Between us we made up the deficit, taking Bradford's notes. These notes were paid long since and to-day Bradford is holding an import­ ant government position and is entire­ ly trustworthy. As I had not been de­ tailed upon the case, I made no report of it, but I have always been thankful that I missed my train that morning." , The profit on a cocoanut tr$e lr$l .. a year.

"Sit down," I said. obtained the key under pretense of ex* amining the room with a view to rent­ ing. "To my delight I found that I could secure a good view of the postoffice by looking through the hole. So I rented the room, making a small payment. "That evening, from six o'clock un­ til nine, I laj^on the floor with my eye to the hole, watching Bradford. "During the entire time he appeared nervous and excited. In moments of leisure he would stare absently at the or ai his aesK, every feature of his face marked with despair and Wretchedness. "Finally the hour for closing arrived. I saw him lock the outside door; I saw him place the stamps in the va^lt and return with the money box, filled with bills and coin; I saw him count the Kelvin's Appropriate Keynote. The jubilee of the submarine cable recalls a little story of Lord Kelvin, whose inventidBsr -ttie mirror galva­ nometer and siphon ""Recorder, made "submarine telegraphy commercially practicable." At the time Prof. Thompson, as he was then, was engaged on his deep- sea soundings work he was one day discovered by a visitor experimenting with a long coil of wire. "What is that for?" inquired the vis­ itor, pointing to the wire. "Making sounds," replied the pro- fesBor. "Ah," said the guest jocularly, "what kind of note does it give off?" "The deep C, of course," came the answer like a shot, accompanied by the well-known twinkle in the professor's eye.--London Express. I.ord Rosebery'a Aaoarment. A few evenings ago Lord Rosebery sallied forth with the chairman of the Epsom urban council to Inspect the new electric lighting scheme. They came to an open space where a great crowd was listening to the witty words of a cheap-jack. By and by Lord Rose­ bery went up to the man and offered to buy all his remaining crockery, etc., for $25. He then proceeded to give the goods away to the poorest women and children. It was a strange scene--an ex-prime minister handing a cheap- jack's stock to eager recipients. But It was very characteristic of the man. A MOORISH CITY. The Marrow street* of Fee, aadi Its' "River of Tearls." The sun never touches the ground In Fez, except in a few isolated spaces, owing to the narrow streets, the height of houses, and the habit of stretching trellises covered with vines across from side to side. The consequence is that its naturally dark-skinned citi­ zens, being rarely exposed to the full light of day, have complexions lesem- bling partially decomposed potato sprouts in a dark cellar. The so-called streets run in straight Miles the entire length of the town, an Hare all paved with round stones the size of cocoa- nuts, worn smooth by the tread of generations of slippered feet. As these lanes are never swept, and every householder throws his slops and re­ fuse out of uoors, one must l>ick oi8 way with exceeding care. The Wed el Jubai ("River of Pearls") divides the city into two parts, the new and the old. The "River of Pearls" is fordable in every part, the resort of every four-footed and two-legged beast in the place; it receives all the drainage of the city, and is the general source of the drink­ ing water supply. Farmer Finds A. I1 nen(f. Nadeau, Mich., Feb. 3d.--Mr. Nelson De Rosier of this place, a prosperous farmer, sixty-one years of age. has suffered for years with Kidney Trou­ ble. He has tried many medicines, but found nothing to relieve him until he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he has found this remedy to be a friend indeed. He says: "I thank God that there is one medicine in the world that does help weak and sick humanity. I would earnestly advise every one who has Kidney Trouble to use Dodd'B Kidney Pills. They have given great satisfac­ tion in our family." Wherever Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used according to directions, they have not failed to cure all Kidney Troubles, Brlgbt's Disease, Dropsy.

The industrial consumption of gold in the United States in the calendar year is estimated to have been $16,667,- 500, and in the world approximately $75,000,000. Although the United States led the world last year in the produc­ tion of gold, our imports of the metal exceeded our exports by the sum of $12,866,101. The stock of gold coin in the country, including bullion in the mints, at the close of the fiscal year was estimated at $1,124,652,818, and the 8to£k of silver coin at $610,477,025. • lOO Reward, •IOO.

When a laxative is needed the remedy swhich is given to them to cleanse and' sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is-- Syrup of Figs--and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturallv without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system efTectu&llv, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle -Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to^the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as yon value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal­ ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
