When Carlyle made out the English to be’“mostly fools” did he consider he might be one himself? Did he know that the scientist would certainly think him a fool for term- ing Darwinism “the gospel of dirt””? An apologist for fools suggests, in the Atlantic Monthly, that ‘‘every man is a fool to some one else.” Is there, then, no earmark? Is wisdom merely relative and judgment simply a matter of your immediate environ- ment? No. Even the apologist for fools cannot leave the matter in the air. “The chief mark of a fool is indiffer- ence to results.” We are foolish where we rush in, following instinct, seeking sensation, disregarding the danger signals, the “busy” signals that say “Keep off the grass.” But the fool is not so much the man who breaks the rules as the man who doesn’t know he should not break them. And his smiling in-| difference, in a world where caution tends to cowardice and virtue to mere negation, is indeed enough to encourage us to say: ‘Strange! strange! that we are not all fools, when the profit is so great.” A re- mark essentially fooli A DYING “KICK.” The Shevlin Advocate breathed its last in the current number of that publication, and in its dying throes T.S. Kalberg, the Bagley “general manager” of the Advocate “takes a whirl” at Iver Krohn, who has commenced the publication of Shevlin Herald and who is making of the Herald a mighty good paper. Kalberg could hardly, in justice to the residents of Shev- lin, expect the latter to shower money into his coffers for a news- paper printed (and edited, tog, for the most part) in Bagley. l FORCIBLE, BUT TRUE. ; And Murray Taylor, the wicked cuss who edits the [ Deer River News, says: “You may hive the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, unbuckle the belly band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don’t think you can escape the place on the other side of purgatory if you don’t pay for your home paper.” ACTION IS POSTPONED. Juestion of Quarantine Against Cuba - Discussed. Washington, w.. ™~ ~* —Secretary Taft had a conference with the presi- dent as to the putting into operation of a quarantine against Cuba owing to the alleged existence of yellow fe- ver in that country. It was decided to suspend for one week the putting into effect of the quarantine pending an opportunity for Governor Magoon to pass upon the statement of the marine hospital authorities that a quarantine is necessary. Governor Magoon and the business men of Cuba claim that there is no reason why a quarantine should be enforced at the beginning of the yellow fever season, while the authorities of the marine hospital service, in a report just made to Sec- retary Cortelyou, insist that the quar- antine ought to be rigidly enforced as usual. SOUTHWEST MINERS MEET Ready to Consider Any Proposal From Operators. Kansas City, 2Ior*» 21.—Four hun- dred delegates io the interstate con- vention of the United Mine Workers of America of Missouri, Kansas, Okla- homa and Arkansas met here to con- sider the recent order for the suspen- slon of work in the coal mines of the Southwest.

PINCHOT. California Congressman Attacks Chief Forester. Aavah Washington, 21 ~In the house Representative Smith (Cal) charged United States Forester Pin- chot with manipulating the forest res- ervation, including Owens river in California, in the interest of the city of Los Angeles against the holders of prior water rights. While he was speaking Mr. Pollard of Nebraska con- sulted Mr. Pinchot over the telephone and when he returned to the chamber said that Mr. Pinchot had told him that all the members of the California delegation, including Mr. Smith, had requested him to create the reserva- tion in the interest of Los Angeles. This statement Mr. Smith vehemently denied, as did also Messrs. Kahn, Knowland, Needham and Englebright. Following heated remarks by Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) against the lumber trust Mr. Mondell (Wyo.) sarcas- tically said that that gentleman, “for one who had so rarely attended a meeting of the committee on public lands,” seemed to be well versed on the subject. This remark nettled Mr. Gaines con- siderably. Shaking his finger at Mr. Mondell Mr. Gaines declared that he nevertheless closely followed the leg- islation the people were demanding. “It’s enough,” he said, ‘“to wear any man out to keep up with these land frauds.” WAGE CUT IN EFFECT. 8ixty Thousand Cotton Mill atives Suffer Reduction. Boston, 17" «-The general re- duction of 10 per cent in the wages of New England cotton mill operatives, which was recently decided upon, be- came effective Monday in mills em- ployiug 60,000 persons. Next Monday the movement will apply to the pay of as many more. The reduction is due to the depression of the cotton goods market, which forced many mills to curtail production. The city of Fall River, Lawrence and Berkshire coun- ty, are not included in the general re- duction, but may be affected later on. The curtailment is general through- out New England at the present time. The average curtailment is placed at from 20 to 25 per cent of the produc- tion. : Oper- Lawrence, Mass., March 81.—Notice of a reduction in wages at the Pacific mills, to take effect April 13, has been posted at the mill.

TERMINATES LONG SLEEP Voleano in Guatemala Suddenly Be- comes Active. San Francisco, 7= * _Z.—rhe steamer Panama brought news of a voleano in Guatemala, so long extinct that its name has been forgotten, hav- ing recently broken out. Its long sleep terminated three weeks ago with such terrifying mutterings and spouting of lava und smoke that the people living at San Fillipe. at the base of the mountain, are fleeing for their lives. Opposite the new volcano is Santa Maria, a volcano which during the last 200 years has wiped out town after town. The inhabitants of the district fear a repetition of the Santa Maria catas- trophe and are therefore deserting the mountainside. Already the coun- g fror t try for miles is covered some inches Wiy ey ofter to ter-| geep with dust and ashes from the 2200 él»e'}' active mountains. 000, & . : Ty, N Family.

Minot, N. D., April 1.—Gus John- son, a wealthy farmer who lived five miles south of Kenmare, has been murdered and R. S. Noah and Patsy Coyle are in jail charged with the crime.

Noah and Coyle were arrested and deputies have been sent from Minot to guard the jail because neighbors of Johnson made threats to lynch. CLOSE GUARD ON TAFT.

SAYS BACKAGHE IS THE DANGER SIGNAL Gives a Prescription Said to Prevent and Relieve Serious Kidney Trouble. More people succomb each year to some form of kidney trouble than any other cause. The slight- est form of kidney derangement often develops into Bright’s kid- ney disease, diabetes or dropsy. When either of these- diseases are suspected the sufferer should at once seek the best medical atten- tion. possible. Consult only a good first-class physician, leave patent medicines alone. There are many of the lesser symptoms of kidney trouble which can be treated at home is stated by a wellknown authority. For some of these, such as backache, pain in the region of the kidneys, weak bladder, frequency, (especially at night) painful scalding and other urinary troubles, try the following simple home remedy: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces, These simple ingredients are harmless and can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy and anyone can mix them by shak- ing well in a bottle. The dose for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bed- time, There is no better general remedy known to relieve all forms of rheu- matism either, because it ‘acts dir- ectly upon the kidneys and blood. It cleans the clogged up pores in the kidneys so they can filter and strain from the blood the poisonous uric acid and waste matter which || if not eliminated remain in the blood, decompose and settle about the joints and muscular tissues causing untold suffering and deform- ity of rheumatism. Backache is nature’s signal noti- fying the sufferer that the kidneys are not acting properly, “Take care of your kidneys,” is now the physician’s advice to his patients, A tag from & 10-cent plece will count FULL value Augfivp-.’omtplouwfllmmm?vdu i 'OBACCO with valuable tags Save your tags from SPEAR HEAD J.
