Treatments? No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

The teachers of Minnesota hold their annual meeting in St. Paul beginning today and continuing three days. During the past few years these meetings have gained in importance and the state teach- er’s association has gained in in- fluence. The men who have guided the association during re- cent years have had high ideals and have reached out in an en- deavor to make the association a power in the creation and devel opment of thought and legisla- tion concerning education. They have been in a considerable de- gree successful and the state as- sociation has become something more than a gathering where pedagogical papers are read. It has become a place to which the better teachers of the state gather to crystallize the thought and experience of a year into practical helps for the future. It has become an agency for put- ting the schools of Minnesota on a constantly higher footing. The meeting, while purely a meeting of teachers, is worthy of the attention of the people of Minnesota for it will mark an- other mile stone in the educati- onal progress of Minnesota, and what is done and said by the teachers at St. Paul this week, may perhaps help us all in the bx;iuging up of our children. The Meat of It. At this distance, three hun- dred miles from the storm cen-| ter of the senatorial fight, itis a little difficult to get a true pros- pective of the situation. The country districts have but two sources of information con- cerning the situation—the T'win City dailies and the reports brought back by the few of us who go to spy’ out the situation. It is entirely evident that the Twin City papers have an end to serve in this matter of the elec- tion of a successor to Senator Clapp and the safest way to be- lieve what they say is to believe that it means just the opposite of what they say. The reports that are brought back to us by those of us who have had the temerity to venture near the storm center are to the effect that a desperate effort is being made to unseat Senator Clapp for some Henne- pin county man. In other words the only opposition there is to the junior senator arises from the fact that Minneapolis wants the Sena,toi‘ship herself. If it were not for this fact there would not bea man in Minnesota to raise a voice against Senator Clapp. GOVERNOR VAN SANT un- doubtedly has many friends who would like to see him in, the senate, but it must be perfectly evidentto everyone that he is being used by the Minneapolis men simply as a stalking horse, Minneapolis is glad to get Van Sant into the field, not because it cares for Van Sant—it would fight him more bitterly than it does Clapp if it thought he had a chance of success—but because with Van Sant it hopes to rob Clapp of some little strength. Minneapolis is using eyery means to start a big field of can- didates. Governor Van Sant is] its one lone success thus far.

How Paddy Shot the Bear. This is a story of a newspaper man who went to probe a mys- $ery and shot a bear. - The mystery was far from steel rails and locomotives tend- ers and other things that help one on in the world and God who fashions newspaper men never intended that Paddy’s good bones should rust beneath the twisted 4§ steel of an automobile. So Paddy hired a horse and went by the way of stumps and chuck holes and ill combed corduroy. Tt is said thatanewspaper mancan’t be straight but God pity the man who is as crooked as that road. Paddy was no match for it at all, at all. The crookedness of it was enough to warp the character of the best of men and dlthough Paddy had a reputation as a prince of good fellows it present- ed a sadly frazzled front long be- fore he reached the end of his journey. The road turned on itself eyery ten feet and grew more wildly hostile with every turn. Every buggy’s length either found the axle perched on the top of a jack pine stump or a wheel wallowing in the un- plumbed depths of a chuck hole. Or either side the forest primeval set upon that road and squeezed it and harried it hither and thither, pinched it- to less than wheel way width, stood it on end, slammed it violently back upon itself, threw great trees across it and hung a tangled mass of thicket over it in a desperate en- deavor to put it pastall human finding out. Even a newspaper man has nerves and Paddy’s grew big with excerise, which helps to explain how he shot the bear. When the road finally let Paddy go he found that there wasno mystery after all. This was hard you something of what Paddy suffered hut no tongue can tell how the English language suffer- ed that day. But the mystery that was not was far from game wardens and close to the haunts of big game. Borrowing a rifle and a guide Paddy set forth to makethélawand the wild thingsof | the wood suffer for what he had undergone. The woods were thick and gloomy, and Paddy’s eyes not being woodsmen’s eyes did not see well. Through the thicket he beheld something crouching on the slender lower limb of a young sapling. The trials of the road and the dimness of the wood and the tenderness of Paddyqs feet had its effect at the other end of him. The dark form took sudden shape in Paddy’s mind. Raising his rifle, he cried, “My God, it’s a bear!’’ And before the guide could prevent' him, Paddy filled the bear full of leaden holes and a poor little porcupine rolled to the ground. How Paddy got home and what happened when they heard of it It is too common a thing in Bel- trami county to merit: speciall mention. bR ! in town is another story. -Advertise in the Daily Pioneer ’s a good investment s I Little Chapters From Life | ‘ PION WANT COLUMN EER HELP WANTED.
