Go away for the summer and when they return home find their house cleaning all done for them. With good behavior Bank Wrecker Stensland will be out of the penitentiary in seven years and enjrying his hundreds of thousands of loot unmolested. That beats working. The big publishing houses, it is said, object to any spelling re- form in America until Great Britian is willing, because 1t will hurt their export trade. This settles it, of course, Likewise we cannot revise the tariff be- cause it would hurt the export trade of the steel trust, the coal trust, and a few other octopuses. Thosze who watched the way Judge McClenahan disposed of the calendar at the Beltrami county term of court just closed, r:adily understand why ¢Little Mack” is having no opposition at the polls this election. He pushed the court business through with speed and dis- patch, and yet, at the same time, was thorough and pains-taking. The light sentence imposed on the absconding bank president, Stensland—ten years, which means seven years, with good behavior—calls to mind a new vaudeville joke, or is it an old one? “What is a banker?”’ asks one funny man. “A banker,” answers his friend, “is a man who takes your money.” ‘“He is like a burglar, then?” ¢“Oh no; here and there over-the state, no enthusiasm has been aroused. It is now argued that there will be ““plenty doing"’ before election, but we doubt it, The trouble with this cam- paign is that thereis no issue. Mr, Cole tried to make drainage an issue, and Mr. Johnson pro- claimed himself a drainage man; the present governor builded him a strong railroad rate regulation plank, and Mr, Cole put one in his platform just like it, or a livtle better. The contest has developed into a fight for office between two men, either one of whom would be able and h mest, and either one of whom would be an honor to the state as clief executive, You cannot get the voters stirred up in this kind of a campaign; it is a drama without plot, or action, or heart interest. Whether this indifference bodes better for one candidate than the other is a questicn for those who for:ell election results. It probably will help one candi- date in one place and the other candidate in another, while it will hurt both materially. Too Much Exercise, Unfortunately a good many men have the conviction that they must keep exerting themselves all the time. They call every moment wasted which is not spent in activity of some kind, either physical or mental. Such men are taking the quickest means to burn themselves out. You cannot live well and keep happy under a constant and tyrannical sense of effort. There must be times of play, times to let up the tension and to do easy and natural things which don’t require conscience and exact attention. ‘Horace Bushnell, the great Connecticut minister, recog- nized this when he said, “Let’s go sin awhile” Sinning has the advantage of being easy, and there are times when the easy thing is the right thing. A man who takes no time off for one kind of play or another, but who keeps the anxious, conscientious look on his face day In and day out, may be on the road to heaven, but he will find that the sanitarium is a way station.—Dr. Luther H. Gulick in Good Housekeep- ing. A Few Corrections. A few things picked up from a child’s schoolbook: Never say, “I don't think it will rain.” What you mean is, “I do think it will not rain.” “All over the world” is bad; say “Over all the world.” “The reason why” is not only incorrect, but doesn’t sound as well as “The rea- son that.” In the King James version of the Bible, quoted by some authori- ties as a standard of pure English, one may find the following, which occurs in Isaiah xxxvii, 36: “Then the angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand, and when they arose early in the morning, be- hold they were all dead corpses.” In other words, the corpses arose early in the morning and found themselves dead. Don’t say “A man fell off the dock.” A man might fall into a dock, but to say that he fell off a dock is no better than to say he fell off a hole. The Crested Rat. The crested rat of East Africa is re- markable, first because of the great length of the black and white hairs down the ridge of the back, which are fndered the more conspicuous because the hairs along the sides of the body are so short and so differently colored, being brownish gray and looking for all the world as if some one had taken a burglar is a thief, while a|a palrof scissors and maliciously shorn banker is only dishonest.” In New Hampshire the repub licans nominated a railroad candidate for governor on an anti-railroad platform, in New York the democrats nominated Hearst on a platform ‘‘anti” to mrost of the yellow editor’s pet notions, in Iowa Cummins was nominated vn a standpat plat- form, and in North Dakota the machine captured the offices and the insurgents the platform. Compromises make queer com- binations. “NOTHIN’ DOIN"” The present state campaign bids fair to go down in history as one of the most apathetic in years. Everybody knows that an election is to be held in November, and everybody knows that two estimable gentlemen are anxious to be governor, but how the election goes; which man gets into office, nobody seems to care enough to get ex- cited about it. The apathy started 1ight after the republican state convention.- Mr, Cole was tired out with a strenuous pre-convention cam- paign and wanted rest. So he retired to the quiet of his Walker home and nothing was done all summer. And as the weeks went by interest in things politi- cal died out. This condition was noticeable at the time, but it was pointed out that things would be lively enough when the campaign was formally opened. Time went by and the campaign was opened, but aside from & little interest off the decorative hair, leaving only a dull underfur. Secondly, it Is remark- able because the skull has a roofing of bones exactly resembling that of some turtles, while, furthermore, this roof has a granulated appearance recalling that presented by the skulls of certain fishes. In its habits it appears to be arboreal while from the structure of its teeth it would appear to be at least partly insectivorous. A Curious Tomb, The most curious tomb in England is that of Lady Anne Grimston, daughter of the Earl of Thanet, who died nearly two centuries ago and was buried in Tewin churchyard. Upon her deathbed she disregarded the efforts of those who sought to administer spiritual comfort. An atheist she had lived, an atheist she would die. “It Is as likely that I should rise again from the dead,” she sald, “as that a tree should grow out of the middle of my coffin.” A tree has grown out of the middle of her coffin—an oak—and by its side a syca- more. The vault is square, of brick and granite. The two trees first filled the interior before they could find a ‘way out. When they did burst through the masonry they sp spread as com- pletely to envelop the grave. ‘When Everything Is Polsonous. All substances, even eggs, are poison- ous when they are injected in certain quantities into the circulatory system of an animal. A French Investigator has taken the powdered yolk of a duck’s egg, treated It with a 20 per cent golution of salt and injected it In- to the veins of an animal until it died. In order to kil a rabbit fitty-five grains of the substance were required for each pound of the rabbit's weight. The yolk of a hen’s egg is less polsonous, but that of a turtle more so than that of a duck, The albumen of eggs is 4lso poisonous. How Trees Are Balanced. A tree grows In perfect balance on every side. When a large branch' shoots out on one side, one of equal, slze or two smaller appear on the other. The roots are balanced In the same way, a large branch on one side belng :;atChed“I;y la large root.
