P St. Paul, March 14—The cobcom- mittee of the house committee on elec- tions, which was given all the primary election bills, met at the Merchants’ hotel and decided to report for passage the bill introduced by John Saugstad of Climax, which extends the prima- ries to state officers, fixes the date of the primaries for the second Tuesday in June and also provides for the adoption of party platforms by the nominees. The bill applies to all candidates at present voted on at the primaries, all candidates for state offices, and it al- g0 provides for the nomination of candidates for the United States sen- ate by the primary system. The nom- inee for the senate will be the party candidate, and while there is nothing to compel the legislature to elect him, it is thought that the members of the prevailing party would not be likely » vote against the will of the party. The nominees for the United States senate, for the state offices, for con- gress and for the legislature are to meet after the primaries and adopt the state platform and elect the state central committee. The house played havoc with the plans of the tax committee and did not show itself disposed to let the en- tire plan of the tax committee for aholishing the direct tax levy go through. One of the thirteen bills re- ported by the committee was indefi- nitely postponed and a couple of oth- ers escaped the same fate only by be- Ing laid over. Four of the bills were recommended to pass and the rest were laid over without being touched. Gross Earnings Tax Bill. A general gross earnings tax bill applicable to public service corpora- tions was introduced in the house by R. J. Wells of Breckenridge. The bill states that it shall apply to electric railway, gas, water, light, heat, power, conduit and subway companies, and for these it provides a gross earnings tax of 3% per cent when the earnings are less than $500,000. When above that and up to $1,000,000 the tax is 8% per cent on the first $600,000 and 4 per cent on the remainder. When the agsregate Is between $1,000,00¢ and $1,600,000 the tax is 3% for the first $1,000,000 and 4% per cent on the remainder. On earnings of more than $1,500,000 the tax is 4 per cent on the first $1,500,000 and 5% per cent on the amount above that. These taxes are to be apportioned among the state, county, city and school funds in the same proportion as real estate taxes in the city where the company is located, and is to be in lieu of all taxes, except taxes for improvements and for license or in- corporation fees. A rough draft of the reapportion- ment bill has been completed by Frank M. Eddy, clerk of the com- mittee, which will give the state twelve additional representatives. The bill will give each county a representa- tive, except Clearwater, Mohnomen and Koochiching counties. The speaker of the house has an- nounced the appointment of Ole Em- brickson as general clerk, vice Lynn Haines, removed for cause. Haines was the clerk who was called to ac- count for writing several letters re- flecting on members of the house. These letters were sent to newspapers. Says Rates WIIl Be Increased. “I want to go on record here that your rates will be advanced in the Northwest in place of being reduced. They will be advanced, simply because it 1s necessary to provide the service. This course will begin in the East. Now, I am not complaining about rates, but present conditions would bankrupt some of the roads in this state.” This declaration was made by Presi- dent James J. Hill of the Great Nori ern before the Sundberg senate com- mittee which is investigating the value of railroad property in the state. Mr. Hill said that the company had adopted the method of reducing rates as the revenue has justified, and an investigation of the records would show that its rates, especially on grain and farm products, are lower than in other sections of the country. Thomas F. Cole, president of the Oliver Iron Mining company, testified before the special iron ore tax com- mittee of the legislature at consider- able length and took occasion to speak strongly against a tonnage tax, as well as optimistically of the prospects of Minnesota for greater deposits of ore than have vet been disclosed. He said among other things that he thought Minnesota had no reason to fear on the score of the expected establish- ment within her borders of a steel plant, although he was not, he said, futhorized to say for the United Btates Steel corporation that any such plant would be installed. He spoke in defense of the steel corporation as an advocate of high prices for steel, as well as for the la- bor that it employs and the supplies that it buys he senate in committee of the whole recommended twenty-seven bills for passage.

Petersburg, March 14.—Statis- tlos ‘published regarding the drumhead courtmartial show that up to March 5, When thelr activity was suspended by Premier Stolypin on account of the bpening of parliament, 764 persons were executed, an average of almost five dally. The mafority of the execu. tions occurred in Poland and the Bal- tle provinces. — Of— Noblest Birth By Honore Willsie Copyright, 1006, by C. H. Sutcliffe Harvell lay In the bottom of his ca- noe. The canoe was tied a few feet out from the shore, and the river, deep, powerful and mysterious, tugged at the frail little craft. But Harvell did not heed the call. The darkness was: deep, yet luminous, with. the promise of an early moon, and the night wind that swept from shoreward was sweet and heavy with the fragrance of blooming rushes. Harvell stared upward to the stars, every sense as keenly alive to the beauty of the scene as If mind and heart had not been given over for days to the problem which he had thrown himself into the canoe to solve. Final- ly he stirred restlessly and said half aloud: “No. It's no use. I can’t do it. Sheis too fine and thoroughbred for a great, common born chap like me to marry. “MARGARET!” HE ORIED. And—no, even if she should be will- Ing, which is an insane thought on my part, I've no right to let her sacrifice herself. I'll stay until tomorrow and then \plead business and disappear.” There was a little stir near the pier, as of the underbrush, then a woman's volce, wonderfully clear and sweet: “Let's sit here and wait for the moon to rise. The bungalow is so close and hot tonight.” Harvell caught his breath. It was she. The voice that replied he recog- nized as that of his married sister, who was chaperoning the bungalow party. “You haven’t been yourself at all, Mar- garet, during the entire week.” “I know it, Agnes.” The voice, with its tired note, was very touching, and Harvell stirred restlessly. “I'm use- less to myself and every one else— every one else,” she repeated, as If to herself. “Oh, nonsense! Peggy, you are too fine and wholesome to talk so. I wish”— Agnes stopped as if not daring to go on. Margaret's voice continued: “I want you to help me to steal off tonight, Agnes. I want to go home, and I may Joint the Westburys and go to Parls. The stage goes down at 9 and I am going to catch It and steal off without a word to any one. Please, Agnes.” The perspiration started to Harvell’s face as he strained his ears to catch Agnes’ reply. When It came he gasped: “Sometimes I think brother Paul is a fool!” Margaret’s voice was stern. “Agnes, I wish you would never mention Paul Harvell’s name to me. I"— But her volce was growing too faint for the man In the cance to distinguish her words, strive as he would. “They’ve started back to the bunga- low,” he thought. “I am a cad to have listened even thus much. But, anyhow, I've lived up to the adage. I wonder why I'm a fool”— Suddenly a realizing sense of Mar- garet's words came to him. She was going away, going within an hour, and all that he had been feeling for a year was unsald. For a moment his stern resolve of the early evenlng was forgotten. Then he sat erect, every muscle tense with stress of feeling. “It's better so,” he sald bitterly. “It's my business to begin to forget, if she never wants to hear my name again.” He looked off toward the bank, then gave a startled exclamation. The pler had disappeared. His canoe was float- ing rapldly down stream, while his paddle was safely locked in the boat- house. “I must be almost on the rapids,” he thought. With the thought the boat turned the bend that had shut off the sound of the falls and the canoe was in the whirlpool. To swim was out of the question, for in the river here was a mass of jagged rocks hidden in seeth- Ing water. Almost instantly the canoe was broken and capsized. Harvell, dazed and bruised, clung to a project- Ing rock that had wrecked him. Fight as he would with all the force of his wonderful physique, he was dashed again and again upon the stones. Yet as he fought he was conscious of only one thought: “I must get there. I must have just one word with Margaret before she goes.” Then he gave a cry of remembrance. He, with the other men of the camping ‘| party, had been,planning a footbridge Reross the raplds. The week before with {nfinito toll they had laid a single line of heavy planks on the projecting rocks from shore to shore. They were not yet fastened in any way, thelr heavy weight serving to balance them fairly well on the stones. The dark ness, not yet lighted by the moon, con cealed the planks, but clinging des- perately with one hand Harvell felt about with the other and by rare good luck found a plank, wet and slippery with spray, on' a neighboring rock. ‘With infinite toll he raised himself out . of the water inch by inch until at last he crouched on the. great stone and felt ———— Vot c— the teetering pianx. Then on hands and knees he started for the shore. Blinded by sprays, the planks half turning so that he could only pause, struggling with rigid mus- cles for balance, Harvell crawled along the foot wide planks. And with each pause came new discouragement. Mar- garet would surely be gone. In a panic of haste he slipped and fought his Wag, now half in the boiling water, half on the slimy rocks, now again on the plankway, gaining toward his goal foot by foot. At last oné final spring, and he felt again the solid earth be- neath him. Without thought of his dripping clothing he started on his half mile run through the woods to the bungalow, “If the moon would only come up!” he thought as he tore his way through the heavy underbrush. “If—if only I am not too late! I am going to tell her anyhow, just to prove to her that I am & fool. I suppose— Oh, here is the stage road!” On up the sandy road, his cldthes half dry with his rapid pace, then with the great edge of the summer moon peering over the top of the pines, he perceived a dim figure standing by the roadside. The figure shrank back a lit- tle at the sight of the man storming up the road. Harvell passed. “Margaret!” he cried. “Yes,” answered quietly the sweet, clear volce that never failed to thrill him, “Margaret, why do you go?” Margaret, too surprised by his sudden appearance to be startled by his knowl- edge of her movements, made no reply. “Because,” Harvell plunged on, “I annoy you with attention, because I hang on your every word and glance, because I am an ordinary chap with no ancestors, and you are the personifica- tlon of culture and delicacy—is that it, Margaret?” “You have no right to speak that way, Paul,” said Margaret, in her quiet voice. “No, but isn’t that true?” persisted Harvell. The mo>n was well above the treetops now. By its light be could see the look of pride with which Mar- garet drew herself up. “So you think me a snob? You know me well indeed!” “Know you,” replied Harvell miser- ably—“no, I know nothing, except that I love you and that I can never hope to marry you.” There was a long pause. The sum- mer night was very fair around them. The girl before him seemed to Harvell a part of the wonder of the night. “You think, then,” said Margaret, “that I am too brainless to admire your fine mind, your splendid physique? Being, you say, well born, I must be a snob.” 2 Harvell drew a long breath. “Mar- garet,” he said, “will you marry me? Will you say yes, Margaret?’ “Not until I have told you,” answered the low voice, “that I was born and bred in poverty in the mountains of Tennessee, that I am finely born only as every American is finely born, and I am proud of it.” The sound of stagecoach wheels came up the road, but already the two figures were far up the path that led to the bungalow. . Men Are Bigger Now. Until the sixteenth century armor developed in a logical way, ity forms were governed by the necessities of war, and changes in it were the re- sult of practical experience and actual experiment on the battlefield. After the sixteenth century it became fan- tastic and meaningless, a gala costume rather than a harness. The greatest captains opposed its use, but the no- bles clung to it as a mark of distinc- tlon. After it was made bullet proof it became so enormously heavy that at the end of the sixteenth century it 'was complained that gentlemen of thir- ty were even at that age deformed by the weight of their armor. In spite of the huge armors of Henry VIIL, of Anthony of Burgundy and of some oth- ers, the average slze of the modern man is greater than that of the sol- dier of the middle ages and the re- naissance, if we can judge from the armor preserved in the museums of England and the continent, which are, with few exceptions, small and nar- row, especlally the leg and thigh pleces.—London Maijl. The Ungainly “Mud Devil.” A most curious, ugly and ungainly semi-aquatic creature is that which is known by the common name of mud devil or hellbender. The mud devil has neither the spiked tall, the horned head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup- posed to be the distinguishing marks of the evil one, but he Is hideous enough to suggest all sorts of borrid dreams and nightmares, and on that account has been made more repulsive by the bestowal of his uneuphonious common name. He is not poisonous in any way, has no horns or sting, but Is simply a mud devil because he is re- pulsively ugly. In general appearance his distorted and wart covered body !s not exactly unlike that of a gigantic tadpole. His average length Is about eighteen Inches, but occasfonal well fed Indlviduals may exceed even two feet from tip to tip. He has a broad, flat head and a sharp, sawlike fin, running from the middle of the back b) the tall The Left Hand. It is strange that so strong a preju- dice against the left hand has lived and Increased for centuries when there Is no natural or physiological reason for it. Exzamination of the skeleton of a person who was strong, healthy and well formed In life shows that the bones of the left hand and arm are just as large and capable as those of the right. The study of physiology shows, too, that the muscles and ligaments and cartilages that fastened that per- son’s arms to his body and gave them the power of motlon were made to do their work just as well on-one slde of the body as on the other. If the left side was the wealer, it was because of the failure to excrcise it as freely as the other.—Scrap Book. Lamb’s Unkind Thrust. Charles Lamb, than whom no gen- tler or kinder hearted wit ever breath ed, at times found it Impossible to re- strain himself from the personal, as, for instance, when he covered a friend with shame at a whist party by blurt- ing out: “Gad, James, If—if dirt were tt-trumps, what a hand you would havel” FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal ”ccommendations of pec ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it & staple article of trade and commerce over & large part of the civilized world.
