West Point, An Old Time Sum
mer Resort.
One thinks of West Point nowadays
as the place where Uncle Sam's offi
cers are made, and not as a resort of
fashion. But Wevner Jay Mills re
lates, in the August Delineator, that
in the ante-bellum days it was the cus
tom of the gay world to spend the
month of September there and. for
fond mamas to bring their daughters
each Autumn to lay siege to the
cadets.
"In the fifties a West Point hop was
the Mecca of every girl's ambition,"
Mr. Mill! writes. "A hall filled with
swaying crinolines and boys in gray
and white The glorious band giving
forth "The Blue Danube.' Then dan
cing was a delight. Flirtation Walk
was a celebrated trysting spot when
West Point was in its prime. But a
few feet in width at 'The Danger
Point,' it was an ideal place for a
cadet to wander with the maid of his
choice. In its green mazes hearts and
tokens were lost and stolen. One
daughter of the Empire State owned
to having captured seventy-five buttons
from admirers when loitering there.
In those days a familiar figure at the
Point was General Winfield Scott.
Erect of figure, with fire still lingering
in his old eyes, he stalked thru the
streets or rode in the carriage which
no one dared pracedey In the spring
of 1866, the old General, who might
have been called the Father of thelp
Academy, such was his love for the
place, fell asleep there. His last
words to his body servant were
characteristic: 'Peter, take good.care
of my horse.' Many a youth alive
with patriotism has thrilled at this
partingcommand ofthegreat warrior."

Fourth of July Picnic.
The Fourth of July picnic of thetive
Mioaetoga Temperance League was a
decided success in spite of adverse
circumstances. On account pf the bad
roads and threatening 9torm no crowd
came in the forenoon, but the pro
gram was rendered in the afternoon
in place, when a large and attentive
audience had gathered. The speaker
of the day, Mr. Parks, assistant super
intendent of the Minnesota Anti-Sa
loon League, made a very strong and
touching plea for thoughtful and care
ful celebration of the day so as to
kindle in each heart patriotism con
secrated to the perpetuation of our na
tion, by curing the disease, by remov
ing the dead rot, that ia gnawing at
its very vitals, by abolishing the
American saloon. In the evening a
fine display of fireworks was dis
charged.
The League members are elated over
the success of the undertaking, it be-$1.00.

Hans Gerhardson had the misfor
tune of losing his barn Jast Saturday.
One of his small boys had been play

hay in the barn. The fire was not dis
covered until it was too late to do
anything. A machine shed attached
to the barn also burned, together with
a binder, mower, a pair of bobsleighs,
175 worth of new lumber stored in the
shed, and a number of other articles.
There was only about 1100 insurance

A Voice from Atwater.
Editor Willmar Tribune:—We are
sorry to learn that the younger gener
ation in Atwater hat become so self
assertive and independent that even
when common sense, oommon safety,
and a majority of the council and of
the loyal citizens of the community
have united cto abolish the giant fire
cracker as a public nuisance, they will
secure the forbidden artioles at any
eost and In defiance of law, order and
decency use them in the most danger
ous and destructive manner possible.
But what can Atwater expect?
Last- spring when common sense,
common safety and a very large num
ber of people in the community around
Atwater united to expel the saloon
from that otherwise fair village be
cause of Its being a public nuisance,
then Atwater decided by a majority
vote to be self-assertive and independ
ent enough to keep the detestable hell
holes in spite of law, order and de
cency and are even now busy using
them in the most dangerous and de
structive manner imaginable.
Psychology teaches that young
folks are imitative rather than inven
and that in ruling them example
goes farther than precept.
It is well to look all problems
squarely in the face and remember
that "As ye soweth, so shall ye also
reap."

Many Eyes Defective.
Dr. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the
state board of health, estimates that
at least 60,000 of the school children
of Minnesota have defective eyesight,
and that 10,000 are afflicted with de
fective hearing. As a result of the
inspections made by schoolteachers
during the past year, on request of
the state board, the reports show that
tests were made in fifty-five cities and
villages. There were 21,768 pupils ex
amined, of whom 3,141, or more than
14 per cent, had defective eyes, and
512, or more than 2 per cent, were
found to have defective hearing.
As the tests made were simple, it is
likely that a good many reported as
having sound eyes and ears also have
defects, but following out the propor
tion found in the tests, it is evident
that of the total enrollment of 424,663
pupils, about 60,000 have eyes not
normal, and 10,000 have imperfect
hearing. The tests were not made in
Minneapolis and St. Paul. As a large
of those having defective eyes
have not been provided with specta
cles, they are running danger of in
juring their eyesight permanently, or
of contracting spinal disease. Only
319 of the 3,141 were reported as wear
ing glasses. The state board will try
to have a more general inspection
made during the coming school year.

New Towns in North Dakota.
The extensive railroad building now
being done in North Dakota has
brought tributary to railroad facili
ties an additional vast area of the
rich agricultural sections of northern
and western North Dakota. The
Great Northern Railway is building a
number of new extensions from its
main line northward, notably that of
the S arise extension of the Edmore
line, the Thorne extension running
north from York, the Maxbass ex
tension running northwestward from
Towner, and a further extension of
the Westhope line to Aotler.
The building of these new lines has
brought into being a number of
new3
towns which are fully described in a
pamphlet recently Issued by the Great
Northern Railway. By application
to Mr. F. I. Whitney, Passenger
Traffic Manager, St. Paul Minn., a
copy of these phamplets "New Ex
tensions In North Dakota" or "New
Towns In North Dakota" will be
mailed to any address.

HAIL IN RENVILLE COUNTY.
A storm devastated a strip about a
mile wide through the -southeastern
portion of the county Saturday, June
24. The storm began its work of de
struction about two miles west of Fair
fax, while the wind and rain did con
siderable damage three miles north of
Franklin. A large number of farmers
were completely hailed out but ac
cording to reports the most of them
are in good condition financially and
the loss of one crop will not materi
ally affect trade in that section.—Bird

Grover Cleveland is scheduled for a
fishing trip to Minnesota, which will
include a two months' stay at Deer
wood, Crow Wing county, as the guest
of H. R. Buxton, a banker of Super

James Eckels, former comptroller
of the treasury, and Giles Gilbert, a
famous Minnesota guide, has been en
gaged to direct the distinguished men
to places where bass abound. Here
is an excellent opportunity for the
Spicer people to extend an invitation
to Grover to try bass fishing in Green
Lake and thereby distinguish them
selves by entertaining so distinguished
a guest as Ex President Cleveland.

Probably we have all seen In the
fields or on the edge of the woods that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy folk came to be doubted it was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the spirits danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet. At
least so our grandfathers said, but we
must take science's simple explanation
of it A fungous plant will soon exhaust
all the fungous food from the soil be
neath it, so that only the spores which
fall outside this barren spot will take
root and flourish. So the ring Is always
widening outward, forming a perfect
circle unless something Interferes with
it The rings are abundant in wet
weather, of a buff color or reddish.—

Sago is a nutritive, farinaceous sub
stance obtained from the pith of sev
eral species of palms growing in such
hot countries as Java and Sumatra.
The stem, about fifteen to twenty feet
long, Is cut into pieces and the pith dug
out and placed in a vessel having a
sieve bottom. Water poured into the
sieves washes the floor thus exposed
into a second vessel. When the water
is poured off and the residue becomes
dry it is known as sago flour. The pith
left behind forms what is known aa
common brown sago.
