CAN A MAN WHO EATS PIE
Wil A KNIFPE GET VOTES?
That's What Is Agitating the Republican Politicians of
Minnesota Who Nominated Jacobson for Governor.
ST. PAUL, Minn, Aug. 31.
Whether the pie-eating proclivities
of Jacob F. Jacobson, the republi
can nominee for governor of Minne
sota, will aid him in his election is
the question agitating his cohorts.
When Jacobson was nominated it
was said that he was fond of pie;
that he ate his meals with a knife
instead of a fork; that he preferred
pumpkin pie; that there were times
even when he did not use a knife.
It was said that his little pocket
knife was good enough for him, and
he didn’'t care how the pie was cut.
If he had no knife and the pie was
not cut he was suie to get his fill
of it anyway.
“Jakey” Jacobson has been known
to the pioneers of Franklin township‘
for many years, and his nomination
has brought joy to all old-timers of
the town and community. In 1871
Jacobson came down from Lac Qui
Parle village to take charge of a
horse-power threshing machine in
Franklin township. His brother-in
4aw, Halleck Peterson, owned the
outfit. Jacobson managed the deal
for two years, and while doing so ho}
met Mary Skarness, who subsequent
ly became his wife.
Artesian Wells Water Hundreds
of Thousands of Acres.
CHAINS OF BEAUTIFUL LAKES
Have Put Towns on the Map, and
Trees and Grass Grow, and There
Are Fresh Water Fish and Deer.
A Wonderful Change Has Taken
Place on the Texas Plains.
KATHERINE, Tex., Aug. 29.—1 t
has been only a short time since
Katherine was placed upon the map
of Texas. It is one of the new towns
far down in the pocket of Texas
which has sprung up since B. F.
Yoakum and associates built their
line of railroad down the gulf coast
to Brownsville, near the mouth of
the Rio Grande. The town and much
of the surrounding country is owned
by Maj. John B. Armstrong, who was
a Texas ranger commander, and was
dargely instrumental in clearing this
border region of outlaws and cut
throats.
About the time the work of build
ing the railroad through the border
territory was begun the discovery
was made that the region was under
laid with a Dbasin of artesian water.
Maj. Armstrong and other ranch
men began to develop this under-|
ground water resource, and there
are now hundreds of these flowing
wells scattered over a territory about
100 miles long by 75 miles wide.
On the ranches where the artesian
wells were put down chains of beauti-|
ful lakes have been formed by the
pure, crystal fluid.
During the hot months of summer,
when he sun is parching and wither
ing all vegetation upon the dry
lands, the wells continue to pour
forth their water supply and the
lakes are fed constantly by fresh wa
ter. Around their edges trees and
quick growing vegetation have
sprung up, and a wonderful and most
delightful transformation of the
country is rapidly taking place.
Fine Bass Fishing.
Fresh water fishing was an un
known pleasure in the pocket of
Texas before the artesian water hasin
was tapped and lakes were formed.
One of the first ranches upon which
the artesian water supply was de
veloped was that of Mrs. H. M. King.
Her ranch embraces 1,380,000 acres,
and every part of the vast domain is
now well watered from these wells.
It occurred to her son-in-law, Rob-
IS RELIABLE
and satisfactory. It speaks kind
ly in praise of the quality of our
drugs and chemicals, as well as
of the skiil which these prescrip
tions are compounded.

wish the best and purest of drugs

Jacobson was about 25 years old
at this time, and a model of physical
manhood to an unusual degree. His
feats as a contortionist used to ex
cite the wonder of the whole coun
try. At the close of a hard day’s
work he would turn a somersault off
the separator and walk a rod or so
on his hands.
During the last session of the leg
islature the opposition sent to him
one day and asked him to keep his
hand off a bill in which they were
interested: ‘‘Keep off or we kill that
bill of yours.”
““Go back and tell them they don’t
dare do it!"” was Jacobson’s defiance..
’and the did not dare. Men who did
not like Jacobson used to call him
a radical, a destroyer, a populist.
- Jacobson has never been a persist
ent office seeker. He was literally
forced into the legislature because
of his strength of character and the
fact that his distriet was over
whelmingly Scandinavian.
Gov. Johnson has been re-nomi
nated for governor on the democratic
ticket, and it will be a battle royal be
tween these two men—the polished,
educated and the fine tempered rep-}
resentative of the Scandinavian ele-!
ment on the side of democracy, and
the uncouth, countrybred candidate
on the republican side of the same‘
nationality. ]
ert J. Kleberg, the manager of the
ranch, that it would be a good idea
to stock the lakes which had been
formed by these flowing wells with
bass. A large supply of these fish
were obtained from TUnited States
government hatcheries and placed in
the newly created fresh bodies of
water. |
It has been five or six years since
some of these lakes were stocked
with bass. The fish have thrived
wonderfully and in no part of the
country is better bass fishing afford
ed than this remote territory, where
not many years ago there was not
enough water to prevent cattle from
perishing by the thousands of heard
in time of drouth.
Mexicans, gray with age, who had
never seen a fresh water fish until
these new bodies of water were cre
ated, have become expert anglers, and
upon the tables of the homes of these
people splendid bass are a part of
the daily food supply. Fishing is
prohibited in lakes which have been
stocked only recently, but in those
where they have had a few years in
which to grow and multiply the sport
may be indulged in at one's pleas
ure.
As many of the lakes are connect
ed by streams of running water pro
vided from the artesian wells, the
fish are enabled to travel from one
feeding ground to another. Some
‘of the lakes are literally alive with
the gamy fish.
It is claimed that fishing in these
artificial bodies of water is already
as good as in the lakes of Michigan
and other northern states.
The 'largest bass ever landed in
Texas was caught in an artesian wa
ter lake on the ranch of Mrs. King
by Richard Kleberg, her grandson.
It tipped the scales at 12 pounds.
[t belonged to the small mouth
species and was 31% inches long.
[t is a common thing to catch bass
weighing as much as six or seven
pounds,
Heart of Deer Range. ‘\
These beautiful artificial lakes are
in the heart of the best deer range
in the United States. The animals
are so numerous and bold that they
are a source of annoyance to fishing
parties during the long season when
they are protected under the law
from being killed. A short time ago
a fishing party, consisting of John
Welser, J. L. Kenmore and Harvey
Stiles went out from Miflin, a few
miles from Watherine, to one of
these lakes. They took a camping
outfit with them, intending to be
gone several days. {
The first night they spent in camp
a herd of frisky deer suddenly tore
through the tent, upsetting the can
vas and making a general wreck of
the place. The young men thought
at first that a stampede of cattle
was on, and that they were doomed
to a terrible death.
\ A day or two after this tornado
[visitation by the deer the three fish
ermen left early in the afternoon to
g 0 "o the other side of the lake.
They were gone until late in the
evening, but there was enough light
to show them that havoc had been
wrought in their camp during their
absence. Deer tracks covered the
space about the tent, and it was plain
as to the identity of the culprits.
The deer had eaten most of their
food supplies, only the canned goods
remaining untouched. Sugar, salt,
coffee, and a lot of other things had
been upset and were upon the ground
in one trampled mixture.

Dennis P. O’Connell of Augusta,
ex-president of the Georgia Federa
tion of Labor and national commit
teeman from Georgia of the Inde
pendence party, disapproves of the
'munnor in which Yancey Car
iter of Hartwell was nominated for
governor of Georgia as a candidate
of the Independence party, and em
phasizes the fact that he intends to
support Hon. Joseph M. Brown. 1
He says: *“I shall vote for .!usephl
M. Brown for governor. Why not?
I gave him my enthusiastic support
in the primary and shall do likewise
at the general election. Had Mr.
Smith been the suceessful candidate
in the primary I would have support
ed him in the general election with
as much grace as 1 will support Mr.
Brown.
“I do not hold the Independence
party responsible for Mr. Yancey
Carter's candidacy. The fact, if it is
a fact—that Mr. Walsh of lowa and
Mr. Howard of Alabama were in At
lanta at the time his candidacy was
announced does not alter my opinion
in the matter. If these gentlemen
were induced to lend their aid to
Mr. Carter’s candidacy they probably
did so because they were misin
formed and did not understand con
ditions as they are at present in
Georgia.
“I do not consider Mr, Carter g
candidate of the Independence par
ty, because to my knowledge a state
convention has not been called or
held by that party. Ido not believe
the general public will hold the par

WOMEN RURAL CARRIERS.
Fair Sex Is Invading Service Replete
With Hardships.
Positions as rural carriers are not
supposed to be attractive to women,
and the postoffice department does
not encourage their employment, bur
an increasing number of women are
invading the rural delivery field.
Assistant Postmaster General De-
Graw is authority for the statement
that when women obtain places as
rural carriers they invariably accept
cheerfully the hardships that accom
pany the work. '
An example of enthusiasm is
shown in the case of Miss Lenna
Sennott, who is the substitute carrier
on a twenty-six-mile route in one of
the New England states. Miss Sen
nott has held the position for three
years. When asked what induced
her to enter the service Miss Sennott
said that the regular carrier asked
her if she would substitute for him.
“I told him T would like to be his
assistant or substitute,” said Miss
Sennott, ‘‘provided he had horses
that had some life. He said he had
good horses, so I was sworn in as
his substitute. ;
“I am met with a smile from all
the patrons of the route. even the
dogs wont’ bark at me. Yes, there
are some places pretty thickly wood
ed, but that don't worry Lenna Sen
inott any. I never carry a gun or
any other weapon. I don't say I am
a boxer, but I can hold my end of a
tussle with any one.”
LETTER TO J. W. GLASS,
Dawson, Ga.
Dear Sir: This happened seven
years ago. A man, having three lit
tle poultry houses, bought one gal
lon of each of two paints to paint
them; paid $1.60 for one and $1.75
for the other, 15 cents difference.
The. $1.60 gallon painted one
house, the $1.75 gallon painted the
other two houses. The cost of the
paint was: first house $1.60; second
house 871%c¢; third house 87%e.
But painting goes with paint, and
it costs as much to paint one paint
as another, about $3.5v a gallon.
The painting of one of those
houses with $1.60 paint cost the
same as that of the other two with
$1.96- paint: 8350, Difference
$1.75 a house same way as the 75
cents.
Four years ago he painted that
first little house again, same paint—
he wanted to know what the cost of
keeping a house well-painted really
is. The other two houses didn’t
need painting,
Last year he painted all three lit
tle houses, same paints as at first;
and reckoned his cost to date of be
ginning the job.
The first little house had cost
$5.10 twice, or $10.20, and was
ready to paint again; the second two
‘houses had cost $5.20, and were
ready to paint again.
That is: saving 15 cents a gallon
made one house cost twice as much
as the other two houses, besides the
fuss of an extra paint job in three
years.
The $1.75 paint was Devoe.
This tale is made-up of a thousand
experiences. Devoe is always the
paint that takes less gallons, costs
less money, wears longer, less fuss.
And the cost of Devoe is about one
fourth of the cost of a paint that
doubles the gallons, Yours truly
F W DEVOE & CO

Has Nearly Thirty Races and Nearly
Ten Thousand Greeks. The
Coffee Houses.
Perhaps no other city of its size
in the world contains such g poly
glot population as Lowell, Mass. It
has among its 100,000 people nearly
30 distinct races and today the pop
ulation is about equally balanced be
tween English speaking people and
those of alien tongue.
The Greeks form by far the largest
foreign colony in the city. They be
gan going there a few years ago
in small numbers, and at present
number 10,000. There is not a po
litical division in Greece, nor city
nor village that has not representa
tives. There are 3,000 Thesalians,
3,000 Macedonians and other hun
dreds from Messenia, Laconia, Cor
inth, Crete, Piraeus, Pyrgos, Sparta
and Athens. These people consti
tute a city within a city. They have
their own newspaper, church, and
peculiar institutions so that the col
ony conforms in almost every way
to a Greek city in Europe.
The Coftee Houses.
The principal business of the
young men who have had money to
invest is the coffee house, and there
are a score of these. The scenes wit
nessed afternoons and evenings at
these piaces, where gather the old
and young men to read the papers,
drink Turkish coffee and talk politics,
are typical of those seen in the
Athenian coffee houses, where Amer
icans delight to go when traveling
through Greece.
During the last five years many
Americans have contracted the habit
of paying frequent visits to these
coffee houses. Once an American
would be stared at if he entered a
Greek coffee house, but now he goes
in alone and eats foreign things with
as much ease as he would enter a
Chinese restaurant.
Young Greeks work in the mills
largely, although many of the better
educated ones are engaged in profit
able business. There are three
Greek doctors, a Greek band, a
Greek lawyer, a Greek school, Greek
teachers, Greek drug stores and oth
er business places.
TRAMP CARRIES MANICURE SET.
Aristocratic Wanderer Also Has $lOO
Bill in Stage Money.
A real aristocratic tramp honored
the Twenty-fourth District Police
Station of Philadelphia with his pres
ence when Joseph Gregor of Rus
sia applied for a night's lodging.
Though his clothing was sadly out
of repair Gregor looked as though
he was not a stranger to soap and
water, and he said he had seen better
days. His fastidious tastes were
shown in the property taken from his
clothing.
It included a manicure set, a razor,
two cakes of toilet soap, a mirror,
a shaving paper, a lead pencil and
a pad of paper. The two last-named
articles Gregor said he empolyed in
taking observations of his travels
through America. He had also a
$lOO bill in his possession, but it
was of the stage variety. Gregor,
who is about 40 years old, has been
working on farms, but he got out of
employment and was obliged to ap
peal for shelter,
