Twin Cities is the possibility of | reciprocity with Canada. If partial | reciprocity brings about the building of several lines of railroad through! this territory and a consequent de- | velopment of this section,what would | complete reciprocity do for us?—!

Whittier by a vote of 53 to 30 will be gratifying to Mr. Whittier’s many friends. The attempt to make the superintendent of the boys’ train- | ing school a scapegoat for conditions for which he is not responsible} was too clearly the woik of malice | and prejudice to be sanctioned by a| body of fair-minded men.—Red Wing | Republican. i | 1 Wheat Prices and Reciprocity. | By the way, has it not occurred to| those who use the price of wheat zs; an argurent against reciprocity that, | to be valid, it must show that wheat | has advanced in price in Canada?| It should be obvious that 1f prices tumble here on account of the fear of wheat imports, prices in Canada must be soaring because of the hope of export to a big, new customer. As a matter of fact, the price of wheat has declined in Canada during the past three months in just the pro- portion that it has in this country. Our anti reciprocity friends will not assert—will they?—that both the United States and Canada are gett- ing lower prices for wheat because they are about to trade more freely across the border.— Wheelock’s Weekly.

The late Senator Dolliver said that | fn politics it pald to be frank and honest with the people. “My predecessor in the senate,” he said, “was Jobhn H. Gear. Ou one oc- casion the prohibition spirit was run- ning high, and a public meeting was held, with a well known Quaker as | chairman. Gear was invited to the | meeting. He accepted the invitation. The old Quaker called him to the plat- form and sald: “‘We learn that thou dost not belong | that thou dost drink liquor at thy dis- cretion. Is this true? “‘Bvery word of it is true’ replied Gear, ‘but did you ever hear of my | doing anything dishonorable? Quaker chairman—‘nay, we have never heard anything else to thy discredit. | Thy frankness is more to be commend- | ed than thy habits. But thou hast not | Ued to us, and we will support thee.' “And they did,” said Senator Dol- liver, “and elected him too.”—Wash- ington. Star. | Her Bridge Prize. A decided coldness between two wo- men who had been friends for many years is the result of a mistake made | by the maid of one of them who had/ had a four table bridge party one| afternoon recently. * In keeping with ' the custom, she had provided a prize| for each table, to be brought to the and placed on the tables which bore| the corresponding numbers. - It was a “lovely party” in every respect, with never a hitch until the woman at No 8 opened the parcel which was sup- posed to contain her trdphy of victory over her three competitors, but which really contained a piece of perfumed soap.

Turning it into ! a museum, Napoleon deposited in it the finest collection of paintings, stat- | world. The magnificent buildings of the new Louvre were begun by Napo- leon 1. and completed by Napoleon IIl. about 1857. | Different Opinions. Professor—Why did you come to col- ! lege, anyway?
