Minn., as second class matter. s ncre e | SUBSCRIPTION---$5 00 PER ANNUM MEETING OF STATE EDITORS. { The Minunesota Editorial asso ciation has announced its annual meeting in St. Paul on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 14 and 15, 1907, the headquarters of the associa tion to be at the Ryan hotel. The meeting will be one of the| most important of late years, as a number of weighty matters will come up for coasideration First of all will be the matter of of the national ratelaw clause providing prohibiting the pay- ment of advertising contracts by the railroads with transportation. The application of the ruling of the interstate commerce com- mission in this matter to the newspapers of ; Minnesota will furnish the topic for many warm discussions, though 1ts practical application will doubtless cut down the attendauce at the meet- ing. Another important matter to be discussed will be the atti tude of the postoftice department towards newspapers, the third assistant postmaster general having proposed to raise second class postal rates which/jproposi- tion has already received favor- able consideration at the hands of the postal commission appoint- ed by congress. 1 The restrictive qualifications attached to the resolution to raise the rates, would K mean the sudden death of many news- papers of the state, and is a mat-| ter for serioas consideration. Other matters of vital inberest will be considered, an excellent| program , having been arranged with a view to bringing outa dis- cussion by all the {members of | these particular points. The fol- lowing is the program: “Railroad Advertising on a Business Basis,” Frank J. Meyst, to be followed with a dis- cussion by members, in which passenger departments of rail- roads are invited to participate. Second Class Postage,” H. S. Saylor, Buffalo Journal; B. B.

A Preconcerted Accident By IEANETTE WALDEN Copy ht, 1906, by May McKeon “It's good to see you once more, Ar- thur!” Naoma Lake ran across the room, holding out both hands to the strong, dark young man who came for- ward to m her. Her delicate face was alight with veal joy. “Good!” he echoed, taking her ex- tended hands and drawlng her to him, As he bent his face-to meet hers she shrank back, flushing painfully. Then a smile flickered across Ler face, and she disengaged her hands, motioning im to a seat. For a moment he studied her. “IVor- glve me,” he said ironically. “You kiss- ed me goodby, you remember?"” “I was young five years ago,” she laughed as she sat down. He threw himself into a chair oppo- site and drew his hand across his fore- head. “Perhaps we ought to be introduced,” he suggested cheerfully. At this her laugh rang genulne. “Tell me about yourself,” she com- manded. e shook his head. old story. But tell me about yourself. There is something, I know. I went to seek my fortune. You already had yours in your face.” She could not meet his eyes. old story.” She only attempted to laugh sithis time. “The nothing to tell.” There was a tremor in her voice. He studied her face again. “I've got a machine out here,” he said, rising. “Come for a ride.” She sprang up with impnlsive acqui- escence. Then her gray eyes clouded suddenly. “Oh, T .can’t.” “But you want to?” he asserted. “Yes, I want to, oh, so much, but—1 have an appointment.” “It's been a long time since you rode with me. You need a change. Let the other fellow wait.” “The other fellow! You know, then? “I don’t know anything,” he growled “Get your hat.” She obeyed. As they went down the broad walk to the drive an elegant white cav chug- “Nothing—same “Same “I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT xou INTO TROUBLE," HE SUGGEST ged up bebind the muchlne that was walting for Arthur Boyd. The occu- pant jumped to the ground before his chauffeur had time to bring the car to a stop and came to meet Boyd and Naoma. He was well proportion- ed, blond and dressed with absolute correctness. Arthur Boyd looked at Naoma. face was changing color. “TIs this your appointment?” The blond man, with a faint, insinu- ating smile, was slowly, suavely lifting his hat. He raised it just high enough to expose a slight baldness, then settled 1t carefully upon his head again. “Mr. Hampton, Mr. Boyd.” ma’s self control was perfect now. Arthur Boyd recelved ap expression- less handshake. “You are ready in good time,” Hamp- ton spoke to Naoma in. a voice that was as genteel as his dress. “I just left the decorator at the house.” These words sent a chill over Boyd. He drew back a little. “But I can't go just now.” Naoma’s voice was firm. *“Something quite urg- ent has turned up unexpectedly. “You will excuse me for a little -while?” She smiled up at Iampton. “I'd excuse her forty times a day to get that smile,” thought Arthur Boyd as he advanced again to her side. But- Hampton drew himself up, and his face grew pink. He flashed a say- age look at Boyd. “It will be impossi- ble for the decorator to wait. I'm very sorry,” he sald to Naoma in the same genteel voice. Then he took her arm with the air that all was settled. But Naoma drew back and surveyed him In frank astonishment. “The decorator can wait better than —than this new appointment. I must ask you to excuse me.” The pink in Hampton’s face changed to crimson, and he breathed hard. “Naoma, what is this that’s important enough to interfere with a plan that was made weeks ago? 1 demand m explanation.” The girl was angry. “Come,” she sald to Boyd, and he felt that things Her Nao- ‘were evened up by the Jook she gave | the recent recipient of her Intimate smile. !

A Puzeling Trick. Take a plece of writing paper about three inches square and with a lead pencil, the polut of which has been dipped in water, draw a circle, a square, a trlangle or any of geo- metrical figure. Put the paper care- fully on a pan of water, letting it float and leaving the surfuace dry. Carefully drop water on the surfuce of the paper until the space within the figure is filled. The moistened pencil lines will keep it from flowing outside the figure. Now place the point of a pin over some polnt In the figure near the edge. The pin point must penetrate the surface of the water, but must not touch the paper. At once the paper will float around until the pin points directly to the center of the fizure. See If you can find out why it does this, Changing Serpents Into Rods. The E; tian cobra is not unlike its Aslatic cousin except in the absence of the curious spectacle-like mark which distinguishes the latter. Although it is the most poisonous reptile known to Inhabit northern Afries vorite among the snake (lhunwl.\, These conjurers know how to_ render this serpent rigidly unconscious by pressing the nape of Its neck with a finger. This act appears to throw the reptile into catalepsy, in which he is as stiff as an iron rod. Traces of some- thing similar having been practiced in olden times may be found in the Bible, where Aaron made ‘a serpent of his rod or staff. A Venomous Snake, The only sure way to tell a venomous snake is to kill the reptile, open its mouth with a stick and look for the hollow, curved fangs. When not in use they are conpressed against the roof of the mouth, beneath the reptile’ eyes. Tliey are hinged, as you can see if you pull them forward with a pen- cil.

Americans’ 0da Craze. Some Americans have an odd cr: for believing that the rightful heir British peerages are Americans “kept out of their own.” One of these queer people asks me whether Jemima, the heiress of the Macdougal line of Barls of Tobermory, was not really a daugh- ter of Queen Mary? Was not James VI. a son of fat old Lady Reres, not of Queen Mary? The present Duke of Tobermory is descended from the fifth son of the earl of 17 But what be- came of the fourth son? The peerages say that he died young without ofi- spring. But did he not “escape to America,” and is he not the Thomas Robertson who married a fair colonist in 1730, and is not a certain Robert Thompson the son of this Thomas Rob- ertson, and are not his descendants earls of Tobermory and kings of Scot- land? Will T not get at the family pa- pers, now kept in Melrose abbey, and clear the matter up? The names I here alter, but all this tissue of nonsense is solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes in the hope that some possible J. P. Robertson is Duke of Tob Andrew Lang in Illustrated A Custom ef the Yuma Indians. Burning the dead, as observed among the Yumas, Is interesting, The body is first thoroughly wrapped and then placed on logs and brush over a hole in the ground.
