Cass Lake seems to have out- generaled the other aspirants for normal school honors and if indica- tions mean anything the sixth school will be located in that city. Repre- sentative McGarry seems not to have overestimated himself, and if Cass Lake is selected that place will owe him a debt of gratitude.—Brain- erd Dispatch. The above is another premature outburst of enthusiam in favor of Cass Lake, like the applause which McGarry and his supporters indulged in after the Cass Lake bill had been advanced Tuesday, and before Repre- sentative Opsahl sprung his coup and advanced the “‘general bill” on equal terms with the Cass Lake measure. Cass Lake hasn’t that school, yet, “by a jug-full;”” and the chances are that her supporters will soon begin to “knock” all measures, realizing that the “dead one” over east is not “in it,” and rather than have the school go elsewhere will try to leave this section with out the trained teachers that are desired- for the rural schools. The people of Cass Lake certainly do owe McGarry a debt of gratitude, as he has put up a good fight for them. But if the folks over there live up to their usual method of rewarding those who befriend them, he will receive scant consideration, after the legislature adjourns. The case of A. G. Bernard is in line with this. That gentleman worked dili- gently for a U. S. land office at Cass Lake and when he asked for one of the offices that went along with the plum, he was turned down with a thud that hurt. So much for the gratitude of the average community. OPSAHL BLOCKS DULUTH “BUNCH.” Representative Opsahl took a fling at the Duluth delegation, Wednes- day, when he objected to an attempt of Representative Grant to rush through a Duluth measure, with a big appropriation attached thereto; and the “Zenith City” fellows are beginning to realize that the Bemidji man is not quite so slow as Pat Mc- Garry and the Hon. Dan Gunn have been trying to make them bélieve. The Duluth News-Tribune’s St. Paul representative says of the little tilt in the house. *‘Representative Opsahl of Be- midji blocked the efforts of Rep- resentative Grant of Duluth today to get the house to suspend its rules for passage of the St. Louis county delegation bill, to permit the county auditor to have office clerk hire of $22,000 a year, and the county treasurer $15,000 a year for clerk hire. Grant had made his request for passage of the bill, and things looked favorable until Opsahl raised objection. “‘I object to rushing things through in this proposed style, and thus increasing the burden of the taxpayers in the country outside of Duluth,’ said Opsahl. Mr. Grant accordingly withdrew his request.” First Giraffe In Europe. Dr. Johnson, as is well known, re- fused for many months to believe in the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians formerly were just as skeptical as to the existence of the giraffe, a new spec- imen of which has just been added to the Jardin des Plantes. The earliest Bpecimen of these gentle creatures was seen in Paris in the relgn of Louls XVI. We learn from a French con- temporary that the giraffe was first heard of in 1787, when it was de- scribed by a Frenchman named Le- valllant, who had journeyed in the lands of the Hottentots and Kaffirs, ‘When the explorer referred to the an- 1mals with the long necks he was look- ed upon as a Munchausen and told that he was such In not the politest language, It was only when some liv- ing specimens arrived in the French capltal that Levaillant’s reputation for veracity was re-established, and then the animals for a long time formed the sensation of Paris, not only among the Iultitude, but in all sclentific circles.— London Globe. _— Only a Letter Out. “Talk about scholards,” sald the proud Sam Smith. “Listen to my lit- tle lad talk about grammar. Tommy, ‘what gender 1s thy fayther?” “Masculine,” sald the learned Tom- my. “Bean’t it wonnerful!” sald the proud father. “And-thy mither, Tom- my?” “Feminine,” replied the erudite ju- venile, * “Hear that agen!” cried the delight- ed father. “Ar’, noo, Tommy,” he proceeded, picking up the family tea- pot, “what gender 1s this?’ “Neuter,” sald Tommy. Sam’s face fell, “Well, well,” he exclaimed, “it’s allus the way. Still, not but what the little lad was far oot. He only sald neuter ’stead of pewter, that’s a’l"—London Tit-Bits. . The lrritating Misslssippl. The Mississippi is the, greatest frrl- tant In the United States. Its fickle- ness, consclous power and taunting eddles bring oaths to the lips of the most respectable and law abiding resi- dents along its lower course. The greatest admivers of the river, the peo- ple who sing its praises with the most emphasis, are the ones who go off on a tangent of temper quickest when they find a new caving of river bank headed toward the newest and most expensive levee, built to protect great plantations, while just across - the stream rise worthless bluffs and useless sand bars. Talk to a-Mississippl river man--shanty boater, pllot, raftsman, plantation owner or city merchant—and he will brag about the river wonders. Its bigness charms him and makes him feel large and elated. Bring him around to his own experiences with it, and suddenly a shade of resentment erosses his face as he recalls a shanty boat wrecked by a cyclone, a steam- boat snagged, a raft torn up in some bend, a plantation undercut and wash- ed away or a season’s trade spoiled by an overflow and crevasse. “We love the river, damn it!” is a literal expression.—R. 8. Spears in At- lantic. » A Queer Test. The grocer said to the applicant: “Your references are good. Show me your style of weighing out five pounds of sugar, There’s the scales.” The applicant wreathed his face in the amiable smile all salesmen wear and weighed out the sugar with dis- patch and accuracy. He put on too little sugar at first; he added gently a full dalf pound before the scale bal- anced. “Youw'll do,” said the grocer. “You understand the scale trick. It is plain that you learned your trade in the thorough old school way.” “Yes, sir,” the other answered. “I learned in the country, and almost my first lesson was that in weighing. You must add, add, add, till the beam tips, because all that adding pleases the cus- tomer—seems to him almost like a gift. But if, on the contrary, you substract from the quantity on the scale the customer is affected in the opposite ‘way—you seem to be robbing him. He goes away convinced that you are a stingy cheat”—New Orleans Times- Democrat. Beaten at His Own Game. “A few days since,” relates a solicit- or, “as I was sitting with my friend D. in his office 2 man came in and said: “‘Mr. W., the livery stable keeper I want to be even with him.’ “‘State your case,’ said D. “‘I asked him how much he’d charge me for a horse to go to Richmond. He said half a sovereign. I took the horse, and when I came back he sald he wanted another half sovereign for coming back and made me pay it.” “D. gave his client some legal ad- vice, which he immediately acted upon, as follows: He went to “the livery stable keeper and said, ‘How much will you charge for a horse to Wind- sor? “The man replied, ‘A sovereign.’ “Client accordingly went to Wind~ sor, came back by rail and went to the livery stable keeper, saying: ““‘Here is your money,’ paying him & sovereign. “‘Where is my horse? sald W. “‘He’s at Windsor, answered the client. ‘T hired him ohly to go to Wind- sor.! "—Fearson’s Weekly. A Wide Range. ‘When the surgeon who happened to be spending a night at Bushby Inn had set the broken leg of the weather beaten stranger who was the chief vie- tim of an automobile accident the patient looked up at him anxlously. “See- here, doc,” he said in a husky volce, “I haven’t got much of any mouney. Would you take out your fee 1n trade?” “Yes, I guess so,” said the surgeon cheerfully. . “What is your trade?” “Well, I'va got a number of things I can do soon as I'm on my feet again,” said the patient. “L.can hang window blinds, or I can put on light- ning rods, or I can play the cornet, and I can do ’em all first rate; if I'm the one to say it, doc.”—Youth’s Com- panion. Women Oyster Gatherers. The work of oyster collecting and culture is most unsuitable for women, but in France, owing to its tedious na- ture, it does not appeal to men. Often from an early hour in the morning till late into the evening the women are standing up_to thelr knees in water, with a strong sun beating down on them. The result Is that never a year passes without some of them going mad and having to be hurried away to the asylums. The work is well paid, a8, indeed, it ought to be, while in the case of the few who own beds the profits are large, and small fortunes are quickly amassed. Jessie. It is related that when ‘the young man who afterward became General Fremont ran away with and married Jessle, Tom Benton, the- great sen- ator, made terrible threats of what he would do to the young man. He- would give him roasts and bullets, and 80 on. To all of which Mrs. Benton quietly remarked, “You had better glve him Jessle, my dear.” A Mean Man. Medical Man—Jobson has done the meanest thing I ever heard of. He came to my house the other night, ate & big dinner, got indigestion and then ‘went to another doctor to be cured.

Do you mean to say heret Beer Money and Churches. In the eighteenth century there were no temperance societles or bands of hope, nor Rechabites and blue ribbon army. To be as “drunk as a-lord” was the height of human felicity. It was the age of “three bottle men,” of con- vivial toasts, of drinking songs.. Even the church Indirectly encouraged .in- temperance. There were certain dis- tricts where at Whitsuntide the church- ‘wardens were nccustomed to levy con- tributions of malt from the parishion- ers, This was brewed into strong ale and sold in the church. The. Whitsun- tide topers had, however, a pious method in thelr madness. The money spent on the beer was expended by the .churchwardens in church maintenance, and the muddled rolsterers no doubt believed them- selves to be pillars of the church even when, under the influence of the alco: hol, ‘they rolled upon its pavement. They. thought themselves supporters of the church when they wanted “sup- porting” themselves and deemed them- selves most salntly when they were most soddened. Until as recently as 1827 (when the license was withdrawn) a church and public house were cov- ered by one roof at Deepdale, midway between Derby and- Nottingham. A door that could be opened at will serv- ed to separate the consecrated interfor of the church from the common tap- room of the tavern!—Chambers’ Jour- nal. Good Bait. “I got Cleveland’s autograph,” said the friend, “by addressing to him a lit- tle ode on his splendid work in the White House anent the Russo-Japanese ‘war—or was it something else? Atany rate, I shall never forget my delight ‘when, by return mafl, Mr. Cleveland wrote: 3 “‘Dear Sir—I have read your verses with interest. They appear to me very deficlent in sense and substanee.’” “I sent a sonnet of sympathy to Ber- nard Shaw on the fallure of his play, ‘His House In Order,” or some such title. Mr. Shaw replied on a post card as follows: ““Thank you very much for your son- net, which seems at least sincere.” “I once ventured to address a ron- deau to Ellen Terry. In it I praised her beauty passionately. Miss Terry sent me a long and interesting note of acknowledgment, in the course of which she said: ““I noticed many faults and weak- nesses in your rondeau, which, howev- er, made me laugh heartily.’ ”"—Ex- change. 2 C At Last. Mrs. Silas Bennett was a philoso- pher. On a certain dismal occasion some of the neighboring women were condoling with her. With commend- able cheerfulness ‘she replied: “I've raised four girls an’ three boys, expectin’ every time they’d be twins and red headed like their Grandpa Ben- nett, an’ yet they ain’t. “An’ I've worried consid’ble over smallpox breakin’ out in my big fam- ily.

Late one night a clergyman was called out to minister to an old man— a° worker upon the adjacent raflway— who was supposed to be dying. The summons was brought by.another old man, the elder brother of the stricken one. - While: he was bustling about, making preparations for departure, the clergyman forgot momentarily the social status of his visitor and asked, “Is he In extremis?” The old man was not going to be beaten. - “Aye, he's right in, your rev- erence.” After a pause he added as & clincher: “Clean in, poor chap.

NAY OPTION IS CORNERED —— Wheat for That Month’s Delivery, Concentrated in Hands of Prom: Inent Trader, Goes to $1.1905 Within Half Cent of Price Predicted by Him Some Months Ago—Corn and Oats Advanco in Sympathy. Chicago, March j—New high reo: ords for the season were established by wheat, corn and oats on the board of trade. May wheat, the supply of Wwhich is concentrated in the hands of a prominent trader, led the advance by touching $1.19%, which is within half a cent of the price predicted by the speculator mentioned some months ago and only 2 cents under the high: est price of the Gates campaign four years ago. July advanced to $1.07. The advance in the latter delivery was based on damage reports from the principal winter wheat states, expert gossip having it that July would prove to be an “old crop” month, that is, a month in which deliveries on con tracts would have to be made from the previous harvest. The record break: ing rise in corn and oats was due ta sympathy with wheat. May corn sold at 67% cents and May oats at 56% cents. G Ambassador Griscom Resigns. ‘Washington, March - J—Lloyd C.
