When an editor gets drunk, its a case of too much booze, and if he dies, it’s a Her Kind of .a Doll. Mrs.: Clarence Mackey, who holds a school. commissionership -in the town of Roslyn, L.

And twins it was.—Metropolitan Magazine. Not Lumberjacks. It is a libel on the honest lumber- jack .to group him with the scamps | who have been arrested here. for fur- nishing liquor to the Indians; the hard working lumberjack has too much pride of character and too much sense to be lured from the path of right for the pittance that can be ob-| tained from the illicit sale of liquor to the red man. Only the hardened in crime stoop to it; they may have been lumberjacks at some previous time, but at present they are the skum of the earth and take this un- |lawful method to gain a few pennies to buy whiskey for their own con-| The sumption. north country has the new garment, makes bold to!no need of such miscreants, sympathize with the throwers uf'sooner we get them out of t! i ay stones and eggs. i the better it will be for the puhfi‘c{.—-— Now'in the first place, it isn’t a skirt at all, but a sort of over devel- | oped trousers with bag not only at the knee but every other place. If there is! anything graceful about a harem skirt, it is entirely too classic for those who have worn trousers all their life to appreciate. 1t is likely that the rich and fool- ish American women will hop into the harem, as they have squeezed! into the hobble, but so long as stones and eggs hold out, the skirt isn’t likely to get very far—in Paris, at least. | | MAYOR WILLIAMS HAS MADE GOOD. In the current issue of the Bau- dette Rainy River Region we find the following editorial expression: | “The announcement of Mayor Wil- liams that he intends retiring from the office will be received with gener- al regret. Mr. Williams started in at the head of affairs when Baudette was a one horse hamlet and he has| held the office ever since, and has‘ been a big factor in the growth and development of the town to its pres- ent splendid standing. J. U., if he does not reconsider his decision, will | leave a vacancy that will require a mighty big man to fill.” ) The Daily Pioneer agrees with the Region that it will take a big man to fill the boots of Mayor Williams, whose ability as an executive has re- | ceived the severest of tests and under the most harrowing circumstances. Beginning at the moment that the waves of fire billowed out of the for- est to wreak havoc and desolution, Mayor Williams has given untiring and intelligent assistance to the in- habitants of his stricken municipal- ity. 1In the work of rescue and re- lief he has earned the undying grati- tude of hundreds. The catastrophe created a condi- tion with which only big and broad men; men with self sacrificing char- acters; men of indominable courage and persistance, could rise to the oc- casion. In other places where great calam- ity has been inflicted it often has been the case that leading men have made a pitiable showing under sud- den responsibilities of increased im- portance. + If Mayor Williams feels that he can no longer consistantly labor as 2 public official for Baudette he can retire to his private endeavors with the assurance that the serviceshe has rendered have been appreciated for Cass Lake Times. Blind Pigs Dangerous. A man had his fingers chewed off at a blind pig in Opole near St. Cloud.
