The Woman’s National Daily says: “There may be some dispute in years to come as to just what or who made Milwaukee famous. Mayor Seidel is likely to be a claimant.” Dr. Mary Walker is the author of a bill to exempt from arrest women who choose to wear men’s clothes. Mary is right. So long as a woman can decorate her nead with the hair of a defunct Chinaman, why not allow her to wear trousers? Espec- ially as an eminent authority says she can do so without their bagging at the knee. Miss Anna Borrows, instructor at the school of household arts, Teachers’ college, New York, has obtained a half-year vacation, during which she is to travel through the western states visiting educational institutions. She is to give a course of lectures at the University of Wisconsin and at Stout Institute, in Menomonie, Wis,, and a series of talks before the clubs of Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota. It was not the fiery speech of Sena- tor La Follette in denunciation of her master that killed Mooley, the whitehouse cow. She died a more common but not less painful death. She was allowed to wander all over the whitehouse grounds, but did not find enough green things to eat, not relishing congressman, and helped herself at the oat bin in the stables. Being somewhat of a politician she did not realize when she had enough; the oats developed symptoms of insurgency, and the cow swelled up and died.—Wisconsin State Journal, Every citizen of Bemidji wishes to be counted in the taking of the present census. And so it should be. Your home city should make as good a show as possible in compari- son with other cities, Therefore it is the duty of every citizen to help make the count complete. He can do so by answering the enumerator’s questions promptly, fully and cheer- fully. Get posted on all the questions that you might be asked so that you will ‘not delay the enumerator’s work in the least, but that he may be able to pass on quickly to those whose prejudice or stupidity some- times make his work difficult. You can make sure that you have been counted and that everybody you know has been counted. If you have been overlooked, call up the Commercial club and tell about it. If you know any body who is out of town, but who ought to be counted as a citizen of Bemidji tell about it. Do what you can to make the count complete, It is your duty as a citizen, and it is to your interest as a citizen, Nobody is full grown, either men- tally or physically, when he is born. It used to bea stage driver, but now it is a baseball player, that is the idol of the average boy. The way to judge a pastor is not by the size of his salary, but by the good he has done. If you are any good do not fear that people in your line will not find it out. ONE DAY OF GONTEST LEFT RESERVE GROWING HOURLY [Continued from First Page.] $2500 IN PRIZES. Capitol Prize.

A gentleman in Jerusalem told me that he found a Turkish soldier on guard in some part of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where it was not usual for a sentry to be,.and inquired of him why he was there. He pointed to a nall in the wall and replied, “It is my duty to watch that nail.” Asked why, he explained that the Latins or the Greeks—I forget which— had driven the nall with the view of hanging a picture; that a rival sect had furlously objected, saying that it was an interference with their prop- erty and wanted to pull out the nail; that thereupon the Turkish govern- ment had intervened and set him to watch the nail and see that no picture was hung upon it and that it was not pulled out. To allow the picture to be hung would have been to admit the claims of those who drove in the nail. To al- low it to be pulled out would have been to admit the claims of those who objected to the driving in of the nail. Therefore the nall must be preserved end the picture must not be hung, and to see that this was so an armed sen- try must watch day and night. For aught ¥ know he may be watching still.—Rider Haggard’s “A Winter Pil- grimage.” Traced by a Bluebottle Fly. The great objection to the use of polson for rats is that they retire to their homes and die there, to become a nuisance and a menace to health, Friends of the writer were compelled to have the floor and wainscoting of their dining room removed for this reason. A wiser man, knowing that a pair of poisoned rats had got under his floor, summoned not a carpenter, but a naturalist, to his ald. They knew that the rats were under the floor, but the difficulty was to fix the spot. There seemed to the owner of the house no alternative to the removal of the whole floor; hence his appeal to the nature detéctive. The latter would not hear of the floor coming up. He cried out for a bluebottle fly. One was captured unhurt and turned loose in the room. After a little preliminary hawking the bluebottle darted to the floor and remained on one spot, like a pointer which has found game. “Your rats are under there,” said the naturalist. They cut down through that board, and there were the rats.— |, New York Mail.

Always he was so courteous—always his actions, like this little one of kissing my hand, were 80 beautifully timed. They came just before the spoken words and gave them peculiar value. “That’s not a bad summing up of it all,” I said. “And the end—how would you like that to come?” “How would I like that to come?” He repeated my question lightly, yet meditatively too. Then he was silent for some thirty seconds before he snap- ped his fingers—the action again' be- fore the words. “Like that!” — Ellen Terry in Me Clure’s Magazine.

Renan while traveling alighted at Naples. One morning a servant of the hotel came to him and said that as she had heard the preacher at the cathe- dral make use of his name many times she would be thankful if he would choose for her a number in the lottery about to be drawn. “If you are a saint,” sald she, “the number is sure to be a good one; if you are a devil, it will be still better.” Renan smiled and chose & number, but he never knew if the servant was lucky.
