The Crookston Journal has the following to say concerning A. Kaiser and the movement being made by the latter’s friends to elect him a delegate-at-large to the re- publican national convention, to all of which we say “amen:” “Al Kaiser was a visitor in Crookston yesterday on business. He did not talk much politics him- self, but his visit here resulted in his many ftiends doing a lot of talking. The Journal some weeks ago sug- gested Mr. Kaiser as the logical candidate for one of the delegates to national Republican convention. We are of the opinion yet and at the present time, if public sentiment carries any weight with it he should certainly land the nomination with- out any effort on his own part. One of the principal reasons why Mr. Kaiser should be sent as a delegate is that he did not seek the honor, and is not now seeking it. He has been a faithful party worker for years and, as stated before, was never a candidate for any office. This is the character of a candidate that is entitled to the support of all the people.” Inarecent issue of the Minne- apolis Journal Mr. Kaiser announced himself as being favorable to Tafft. OBSERVATIONS. [By "Doc™1 As a rule the nicera girlistoa young man the less she cares for him. All we know about precious stones is that we have precious few of them. An actor isn’t always satisfied when he realizes that things are com- ing his way. The man who knows enough to attend to his own business knows about all that is worth know- ing. It is her winning ways that often enables a woman to get the better of a man in the matrimonial game. The average man’s idea of a good sermon is one that goes over his head and hits one of his acquaint- ances. If a young man sits half the time on a hot stove and the other half on a cake of ice, it’s just like being in love. 8Buspected Murderer Suicides. Hrie, Pa., March .—Edward Ache- Bon, known along the Great Lakes as “Erie Slim,” wanted here for the mur- der of “Blackie” Collins of Lawrence, Mass., Thursday evening, was found dead in the Erie cemetery beside the grave of a near relative. A bullet hole in his head and a revolver in the snow near the body told the story of suicide to escape capture and death eventually. Explosion Injuras Seven. New York, March .—Six employes of the National Sulphur company’s wmill in Brooklyn were badly burned and lacerated by an explosion of sul- phur in the company’s plant. A driver of a passing truck was struck and his skull was fractured by a section of the roof which was blown off the building. The factory was destroyed by fire, with a loss of about $100,000.

That is a sign that the ani- mal is in bad health. “You can read a pig's condition by Its tall. The tighter it is curled the fitter is the pig. And when the tail hangs straight, as this one does, the pig ought to take to his bed and send for the veterinary.” — New Orleans Times-Democrat. | devoting her life to d. Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put may be seen in one of our great watch factories, where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. An ofiicial of the watch fac- tory is quoted as saying “There is no secret regarding the use of bread In this factory, and I am will- dug to tell all I can concerning it. From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking It has been the custom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough, This is done by steaming and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adbere In course of manufacture to pieces as small as a part of a watch. There are many parts of a wateh, by the way, that are 80 small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to it, and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchi ing Industry.”—American Food Jour al. A Quaint Compliment. On Mark Twain's seventy-second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him: “No wonder he finds happiness in old age. All the aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as he. He is continually going out of his way to please others, and the result is that he is continually pleasing him- self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach. He waited for me at the church door at the serv- ice's end and, shaking me by the hand, sald gravely: “‘I mean no offénse, but I feel oblig- ed to tell you that the preaching this morning has been of a kind that I can spare. 1 go to church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today 1 couldn’t do it. You interfered with me. You forced me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour. I beg that this may not occur again.’” Philosophy of Descartes. Tarning the mental vision inward, as Bacon turned it outward, Descartes watched the operations of the soul as an object In a microscope. Resolved to believe nothing but upon evidence 80 convincing that he could not by any effort refuse his ascent, he found as he inspected his bellefs that he could plausibly doubt everything but his own existence. Here at last was the everlasting rock, and this was re- vealed in his own consciousness; hence his famous “Cogito ergo sum” I think, therefore 1 am). Consciousness, said be, is the basis of certitude. Interro- gate it and its clear replies will be sclence, for all clear ideas are true. Down In the depths of the mind is the idea of the infinite perfection—the mark of the workman impressed upon his work. Therefore God exists.—New York American. Science and Sound Fact. “The workings of the human mind when asleep are full of wonder,” re- marked a scientist who was paying a visit to an acquaintance. “Have you ever started up from a sound dream- less sleen. with every sense on the alert and with your whole being thrill- ed with a vivid yet indefinable feeling that something was wrong and instant action required?” “Often,” replied his hostess, “and in nearly every case I have found that 1 was awakened by the fumbling of my husband’s key at the front door!” Impertinent. Speaking of a man noted for his im- pertinence, an acquaintance said: “Blank’s impudence was second only to that of a walter 1 heard about the other day. “‘Look here, waiter, sald a guest, ‘this fish is not cooked properly.’ “‘1 know it, sir, sald the waiter, ‘but you told me it was for your wife." “‘Well, what of that? asked the sur- prised guest. “‘Why, said the walter, ‘I knew that if the lady was your wife she couldn’t be very particular.’” Realism In Art. Two artists were boasting how they could paint. “Do you know,” said one, “I painted a sixpence on the ground one day, and a beggar nearly broke his fingers trying to pick it up!” ‘That's nothing to what I did,” said the other. “I painted z leg of mutton on a stone, and it was so realistic that a dog ate half the stone before he found out his mistake!” His Narrow Escape. “I tell you, the closing of the Steenth National was a mighty close call for me.” “How was that?” “Why, a friend had advised me to put my money in it and”— “And you took his advice?’ “No, but I would if I'd had any mon- ey.”"—Philadelphia Ledger. Not the Kind He Wanted. “Little Willie ran away to hunt red- skins.” “Yes?” “But he didn’t find any until his fa- ther had finished with him.”—Harper's ‘Weekly. Ungallant. “My face is my fortune, sir,” she said. “Well,” he replied, “poverty is no dis- grace, but it’s awfully inconvenient at times.” The Wicked Husband. “Why does a man lie to his wife?” asks a woman writer. Dear me, does he?—Duluth Herald. i A moral, sensible, well bred man will not insult me. No other can.—Cowper. Well Occupied In Either Case. It is beautiful to see a Yyoung girl start out with the avowed Intention of eaching school, and yet few people blawe her seriously when she quits to get married.—Tomb- stone Epitaph. A Hypocrite.

Pliny informs us that twelve citles in Asia Mivnor were swallowed up I one night. In the year 115 the city of Antioch and a great part of the adja- cent country were buried by an earth- quake. About 300 years after it was again destroyed, along with 40,000 In- habitants, and after an interval of six- ty years was a third time overturned, with the loss of not less than 60,000 souls. In 1692 the c¢ity of Port Royal, In Jamaica, was destroyed by an earth- quake, and the houses sank into a gulf forty fathoms deep. . In 1693 an earth- quake occurred in Sicily which either destroyed or greatly damaged fifty- four cities. The city of Catalonia was utterly overthrown, 19,000 inhabitants of the city peris 1755 Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake, and it buried under its ruins above 50,000 inbabitants. In Au- gust, 1822, two-thirds of the city of Aleppo, containing a population of 200,- 000, were destroyed by an earthquake. Thirty thousand of its inhabitants were buried in the ruins. Held Down the Speaker. The sanctity of the speaker is an in. violable law of parliamentary England, yet once the necessities of the nation were so great that an assault and bat- tery had to be made upon his sacred person. It was In the third parlinment of Charles 1. that the angry commons framed their petition of rights. This cut at the very root of the king’s pre- rogative, and among-those in the house who opposed it was Mr. Speaker. Upon Sir John Elliott moving its acceptance the speaker essayed to leave the chair, ‘which would, of course, have proved fatal to the bill. But they were ready for him, and Hollis and Valentine seiz- ed him, one on each side, and literally held him in the chalr until the for- mality of the reading was over. So vital was the petition considered that Cromwell said in the lobby afterward, “Had we been defeated I should have left England tonight.”—London Chroni- cle. Undodgeable Taxes. “In the past,” said the tax assessor, “governments were wiser. They levied taxes that could not be sworn off. There was, for instance, the English birth tax of the seventeenth century. A laborer paid 2 shillings as birth tox; a duke paid £30. You couldn’t get round it. 5 “Burials were taxed, according to the station of the dead, from a shilling to £25. That, too, could not be dodged. “Marriages were taxed. A duke to marry paid £50; a common person, like yourself, paid half a crown. “In those days you paid a tax on every servant, on every dog, on every horse, on your carriage, your hearth, your windows, watches, clocks, wigs, hair powder, plate, ribbons, bricks, coal, gauze and candles.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Madman’s Strange Belief. An unfortunate maniac was confined in one of the Scottish lunatic asylums, his particular infirmity being an un- shakable belief that every day was Christmas day and that he was din- ing sumptuously on turkey or roast beef and a good slice of plum pud- ding. His real diet, however, was of the plainest, he being served twice dally with a dish of oatmeal porridge. After dally describing to his attendants the pleasures he had tasted in his cut of turkey or what not he as regularly added, “Yet, somehow or other, every- thing that I eat tastes of porridge.” This story it was which gave rise to the saying, “As palatable as the mad- man’s porridge.” Some Famous Salt Lakes. The Dead sea is forty miles long and nine miles wide. The Great Salt lake i8 seventy miles long and eighty miles wide, the largest body of brine in the world. There Is evidence to show that once the Great Salt lake was at least 850 miles in length and 150 in width, nine times its present area. The Dead sea contains about 24 per cent of sol- 1ds, one-third of which is pure salt, while of the 23 per cent of solid mat- ter in the waters of Great Salt lake nearly all is sait. Not a Question of Grammar. The green reporter turned to Editor McKelway. “Which should I say,” he asked hesitatingly, “ ‘My boy Henry laid an egg on the table? “Well,” said Editor McKelway Im- patiently, “if you want something to crow over, and he's that kind of a hen- nery, let him lay it on the table if he can. Otherwise have him put it there.” —Judge. His Distinction. A solemn funeral procession, slowly wending its way up the slope from the church to the grave, was intercepted by the old verger, ‘who, pulling his forelock in the usual rustic style, ad- dressed the clergyman, whispering 1n a confidential manner: “Please, sir, corpse’s brother wishes to speak to yer!”—London Tit-Bits. A Nautical Secret. Passenger—What makes this boat pitch so? Sailor—That’s a nautical se- cret, ma’am, that we don’t like to give away; but, seein’ it’s you, I don’t mind tellin’ you that it's the waves.—San Francisco Call. He Wanted to Know. ‘The Employer (coldly)—Why are you %0 late? The Suburbanite (guiltily)— There were two wrecks on the track this morning, and— The Employer (testily)—Who was the other one? Partly True. Mr. Nix—I don’t believe a word of your story! Weary—Well, that part about my bein’ out of work for nine years is as true as gospel!—Philadel- phia Inquirer, Interests of All. One thing ought to be aimed at by all men—that the intefest of each individ- ually and of all collectively should be the same, for if each should grasp at his Individual interest all human so- clety will be dissolved.—Cicero. All They Deserve. “Some people claim they don’t get nuthin’ out o’ life.” “And they are the kind that don’t ‘put nuthin’ into-it. to .draw interest on."—Loufsville Courler-Journal. ing in the ruins. In: "I ~Thomas Carlyle. Where Idols Are Eaten. Al certain seasons In some parts of India it is the duty of every devout person to eat a special sort of confec- tlonery. Bvery confectioner in Octo- ber, for instance, has a pole about slx feet high at his door, and to this Is nailed a great hook about a foot long and thick in proportion. On one side of this fs m brisk fire, with a huge earthen pan on it. Before the pan a man may be seen sitting, for nobody stands when he can sit, with a kind of wooden ladle, and with this he briskiy stirs a quantity of bubbling, black looking sugar till it becomes quite tough. He then scrapes it together and puts it on a piece of board to cool a little, and then, getting up and dex- terously throwing it on the large hook, he begins to pull out the tough sub- stance. He draws it out to the length of four or five feet at a time and throws It back and elongates it again, and so he manipulates 1t till the mass becomes as white as snow. This composition so treated is manufactured in all sorts of sacred forms—figures of little idols and gods—and is eagerly bought for con- sumption.—Strand Magazine. Ink Froze on the Pen. The winter of 1683-4 in Europe still holds its place as one of the most se- vere and remarkable on record. So tremendous was the cold that trees split asunder with deafening reports. The strangest sight of all was on the Thames. Here on more than a foot thickness of lce a thoroughgoing town of streets was erected. There were tailors’ shops, butchers’ shops, tobac- conists, printers and, indeed, many oth- er businesses all being carried on as if they had stood there for years. Writing anywhere but near a large fire was impossible, as the ink froze in pot and on the pen, whole barrels of liquids were frozen solid and wine was sold in one pound blocks. New bread on being taken out of the oven would immediately stiffen and become solid There were hundreds of deaths from the cold, and throughout the frost the poor suffered miserably. — Pearson’s ‘Weekly. Little Great Men. A Chinese who had long studied the works of Confucius, who knew the characters of 14,000 words and could read a great part of every book that came in his way once took it into his head to travel into Europe. Upon his arrival at Amsterdam his passion for letters naturally led him to a book- seller’s shop, and as he could speak a little Dutch he civilly asked the book- seller for the works of the immortal Xixofou. The bookseller assured him he had never heard the book mention- jed before. ‘Alas,” cried our travele: “to what purpose, then, has he fasted to death to gain a renown which has never traveled beyond the precincts ot China?” There is scarce a village In Burope and not one university that 1s not thus furnished with its little great men.—Oliver Goldsmith. First American Play. The first play written by an Ameri- can produced in this country, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger, was the tragedy, “The Prince of Parthia,” by Thomas Godfrey, which was brought out at the Southwark theater in tho Qualior City in April, 1767, by Lewis Hallam’s company, the first or- ganization of players to visit Phila- delphia. Godfrew was an ambitious young poet, who died at an early age. His play was above mediocrity and an important part of the volume of his works published in 1765. A Use For His Obituary. A well meaning and conscientious editor on being shown by the man most interested that the death of the commandant was falsely reported in his paper, apologized profusely and of- fered to make it all right. “We’ll print a correction at once,” he safd. “Well,” said the man who wasn’t dead, “perhaps it would be better to let it stand. Tl show it to my friends when they want to borrow money.” Painful Etiquette. The royal court of France used to be a great place for etiquette. Louis XIV. once caught a severe cold owing fo the fact that on his arising from his bed one cold morning the lord of the chamber, whose duty It was to hand him his shirt, happened to be absent. Not one of the numerous courtiers present had the courage to trangress etiquette by handing the garment to the shivering monarch.—London Scrap Book. Indifferent. “I can’t give you an opinion on that question,” the statesman replied, “be- cause it's a question I pay no attention to. I am indifferent to it—as indiffer- ent as the backswoodsman’s wife. That lady, you know, looked on while her husband had a fierce hand to hand tussle with a bear, and afterward she said it was ‘the only fight she ever saw where she didn’t care who won.’” Going On. A terrible noise of thumping and stamrping came from Bob's room early sne morning. “Bobby, Bobby,” called his mother from downstairs, “what s going on up there?” “My shoes,” replied Bob. One Drawback. Ollve—What an improvement it will be if the time ever comes when every- body can get a seat in the street cars. Violet—Oh, I don’t know. A girl would never be sure then that she was pretty, —Puck. Some children act as if it were a constant surprise to them that their parents had the excellent taste to pick them out.—Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror, Women In Japan. A Japanese saying runs: “Woman is an unmanageable creature; flatter her, she is elated; thrash her, she weepeth; kill her, her spirit haunts you.” We would suggest that the best rem- edy is to love her.—Japan Times. Carlyle’s Creed. Man is born to expend every par- ticle of strength that God Almighty has given him in doing the work he, finds he is fit for, to stand it out to the best breath of life and do his best. i Rossettl secured permission In 186§ to reopen the coffin of his wife in order to secure the manuscripts of some| poems which he had buried with het seven years before. Some such incident might have oc curred In connection with J, M. W Turner if his desire to be buried wrap ped up in his own painting of “Car. thage” had been carried out. There ‘was some difficulty in selling the paint- ing, and the artist kept the canvas by him. He always sald he would be! wrapped in it when he was burled and even went so far as to ask Chantrey It as his executor he would fulfill his wishes on that point. “No doubt,” answered the sculptor, “I shall bury you rolled up In your pic- ture if it is one of the conditions of your will, but I would take you up next day and unroll you!” The Master’s Title. Professor Key when head master of a large London school was one of the most genial gentlemen that ever filled that position. He was fond of encour- aging fun in his boys and was not un- willing to recount occasionally during class time when anything prompted it the manners and customs of countries he had visited. On one occasion he ‘was telling his class about Spain and said: “Do you know, boys, that when a man attains to eminence there he 18 not called ‘sir, but is given the title of ‘don?” One of the boys here called out: “Then, I suppose, sir, they would call you Don Eey?” The gravity of the class was com- pletely upset for the remainder of the afternoon.—Strand Magazine. Price of His Treason. Benedict Arnold died in London June 14, 1801. His life after his treason was 2 most unhappy one. He was avoided by men of honor and on many occa- sions deliberately insulted. He re- celved a considerable sum of money from the British government and made several unsuccessful attempts to en- gage in business in British America and the West Indies and finally re- turned to London, where he died in obscurity. His second son, born in 1780,- entered the British army in 1798, served with credit in many parts of the world and three years before hig death in 1854 was made a lieutenant general.—Household Companion. Running No Risk. “What,” asks the maiden aunt, “go- ing to marry that Mr. Newwun? Why, you hardly know the man, Imogene. In the few days you have been ac- quainted with him you cannot possibly have learned anything of his family or antecedents or habits or personal eir- cumstances.” “That is true, Aunt Keturah. But you have always told me that no wom- an who knows anything about a man will marry him.”—Success Magazine, A Definition. “Paw,” asked a thoughtful lad, wrin- kling his brow, “what’s a pessimist?” “A pessimist, John J.,” replied his father, “Is a man who, after a cyclone has blown his house away with him in {t, goes back and grumbles at his lot.” —Puck.

If there s any tendency towards this ailment, lose no time, as the disease will make rapid progress when once under way.

Chief Chemist Wiley of the United St:tes Department of Agriculture in a recent talk to the graduating class of the Case School of Applied Science, sajd: “Every man can live to be a Hundred years old. It is a rank disgrace for any man to die except from old age” * * “The Dresent generation i zoing to live long, for it knows more about the laws of health than ever was known before.” Men of Science have made no discov- ery in ancient or modern times of such vast importance to the health and happi- ness of the man race, as the recent 'SS hu discovery of the true basis of animal life—of Vitality.
