Of course it was very naughty for anyone to steal $130,000 worth of jewels from the stateroom of Mrs. Baldwin Drummond but Mrs. Drum- mond’s loss will scarcely cause most of us to be: blinded with tears of sympathy. Of course it is Mrs. Drummond’s own business—although it may be hard for the father of ten children who must be fed on $2 a day to be- lieve it—if she wishes to pay $69,- 040 for a string of pearls and $12,- @00 for a pair of earrings. But probably the thief figured that it was his business if he gathered in the hatful of condensed wealth; the disgusting mark of a woman’s vanity, and the thief will ease his'conscience with the thought that he can pawn the diamonds and rubies and pearls and that he can enjoy some of the Two arte- real comforts of life from the money realized on the commodity that other- wise would be of no real use to hu- manity. It was wrong to steal the jewels, but there are many who are willing to admit that it also was wicked for Mrs. Baldwin Drummand to deck herself in vulgar brilliance at the cost of a fortune while the families of the men who make possible her great riches smack their emaciated lips over soup bones. HE WON THE BET. For twelve years Livingston A. Lyiard was city clerk of Minneapolis. Last fall he was elected as a member of the house of representatives in the legislature of Minnesota. This last honor was won by John Nash, also of Minneapolis. Lyiad’s seat in the House in near the one occupied by Nash. Both re- presentatives are jovial and have es- tablished a reputation for “kidding” each other. On Monday of this week John said to Livingston: ““You are a public nuisance—any man who can’t get married is a nuis- ance and should be made to pay a tax. The house of representatives is no place for a bachelor.” To this thrust relative to his per- sonal conduct, Representative Lyiard replied: “Perhaps your wife would say that there are at least one too few bache- lors. Be that as it may. You say T can’t get married. T’ll post a for- feit of $100 againts a like sum from you that I am married within twen- ty-four hours.” “You're a bluff,” replied John, “and I'll take you.” Tuesday morning papers announc- ed the mariage of Mr. Lyiard to Mrs. Caroline Dickinson by Rev. James Montgomery in Fowler church at Minneapolis. Mr. Nash is far from feeling that he was “stung.” His comment is that “it was worth the price to rid society of a bachelor. But John isn’t making any more wagers. : POOOOPOOOOPOOOOO® ¢ WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY ¢ COOOOOO0000000006 An Able Man. Clyde H. Tavenner, former Wash- ington correspondent for the Herald, is a candidate for the position of sergeant-at-arms of the house of re- presentatives of the next congress. The office is a good one. Tavenner is an able man and we will not be dissappointed if he lands the plum.— Wabasha Herald. Another Count, The publication of the census fig- ures of the cities and villages of Min- nesota will draw heavy on newspaper space in telling how it happened and blaming the enumerator. There will be another counting in five years, so cheer up. Mahnomen is satisfied.— Mahnomen Pioneer. There’s Still the Free Press, Senator S. D. Works of Mankato has been recommended as the proper man to succeed Frank A. Day as chairman of the state central com mittee of the Democratic party. Well, if not, why not?

Would it injure any Min- nesota former if eggs could be ship- ped to Winnipeg, where ther are 25 cents a dozen?—Long Prairie Argus. Free | Japai 0. A teacher of Hnglish in Japan re- cently gave as an examination ques- tion, “What i3 a ventilator?’ Besides the number of answers that were ap- proximately correct, there were two which indicated that the students must have been absent either in body or mind on the day when the school- room ventilator:had beeh discussed. The first was, “The ventilator lives in the mountains;” the second, “Colum- bus was a great ventilator” When occasion offered the teacher reminded his class that attention and application are requisite for acquiring knowledge and seriously asked them why any one should have given an answer such as the one concerning ‘Columbus. One of the best spokesmen in the class essayed an explanation somewhat as follows: “Columbus brought new ideas back to the old world; he changed the current of thought and opened a great door into the new and outer world; there- fore he was a great ventilator.— Youth’s Companion. Bock-‘Beer. Bock beer is 5o called from its asso- ciation with' Bimbock, a town in Prus- sia, at one time famous for its beer. Cards on Sunday. Pepys, the diarist. was greatly scan- | dalized when he first saw cards played on a Sunday. “I did find the queen, the Duchess of York and another at edrds, with the room full of ladies and great men, which I was amazed to see on a Sunday, having not believed, but contrarily flatly denied the same a lit- tle while since.” PRODUCTS rrom whicH I.
