Mr. Gordon editorially says: occasions, during the extended absence “On previous similar and especially somewhat recent of the governor from the state, it was held by many citizens that such absence constituted a vacancy in the office of governor during all the time of such temporary absence, and the. lieuten- ant governor was strongly urged to assume the duties and responsibili- ties of the governor’s office, it being held that a failure to do so on the part of the lieutenant governor was negeelt of a plain duty, but a violation of his official oath. not only The lieutenant governor held that in his opinion a temporary absence of Y |be construed by the the governor from th¢ state “could hardly be comstrued as creating a vacancy; that to his knowledge there had been fio precedent for it, and he refused to take the matter seriously. The St. Paul newspapers learned of the demands of certain citizens in and applied. to the at- torney general for his ideas of law. This official, in conversation with re- porters and others, strongly intim- ated that the point which had been raised by certain citizens was well the matter, taken, and cited a ruling written by the supreme court of the state in the Day case, which ruling ‘could readily lay citizen as strongly upholding the point which had been raised by certain persons, that absence from the state on the part of the governor created a the office. This ruling was published by the daily papers, together with the alleged intima- tions of the attorney general, under big “scare heads.” Within a few hours thereafter the lieutenant gov- ernor, who still held to the position that he did bent upon him to take charge of the vacancy in not consider it incum- office of governor during the tempor- ary absence of that official from the state, was besieged by numerous telegrams, telephone and personal calls. urging him to do his duty as was “plainly . set forth in the pub- lished ruling of the supreme court in the Day case;” and these urged that the most important matter was the convening of the legislature in extraordinary session to consider legislation. Others, that perhaps there nevertheless needed While holding was a vacancy, advised against a special session, while still others held that opinion there was no vacancy,but these were in the minority. The lieutenant governor realized that the question in their | him to assume the duties of governor during the temporary absence of | that official from the state, had been 'raised and given publicity in such a way as to make it a much question, _mooted regardless of what other questions of general political inter- considered by the people, and in order that the matter might be definitely settled, he di- rected a letter to the head of the state's legal department est were being asking for of the duties of the lieutenant governor in the premises. an opinion on the question That opinion, in sub- stance, sustained the posi on of the lieutenant governor, and he.felt en- dorsed. “He at no time stated that he would or would not issue a call for an extra session of the legislature in jcase it was incumbent upon him to assume the governor's office during the temporary absence of that offi- cial, but stated that this and all oth- er questions would be given due con- sideration in case they came up to him for settlement. “The motives which caused a por- tion of the metropolitan press to de- vote so much space and make the kind of comment it did during and since the incident, can no doubt be pretty accurately judged by the gen- eral public.” Over the Phone. “He hasn't slept all night. doctor.”” said Mrs. Blinks over the phone, de- seribing her husband's symptoms, *“and this morning he complains of aches in his bones and a general headachy feel- ing.

His Landiady's Advice Probably Saved His Life I feel that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root saved my life. I inherited weak kidneys.

In pioneer days the railroads cross- ing the plains were often delayed for many hours by buffaloes., Sometimes they caused more serious frouble. In 1871 and 1872 trains on the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railrond were charged by the enraged beasts, cars were derailed and overturned and the lives of train crews and passengers en- dangered. Many tales of hairbreadth escapes were related by small parties of - soldiers, frontiersmen and emi- grants, and it is altogether possible that many an emigrant wagon with its occupants that left the Missouri river and was never seen again was over- whelmed by the buffaloes ratber than wiped out of existence by the Indians, to whom all unexplained disappear- ances were attributed. Large buffalo bulls weighed 2,000 pounds or more, and cows weighed in the neighborhood of 1200 pounds. Herds numbering many thousands were really irresisti- ble and In a stampede carried all be- fore them.—Quting. Fatal Street Music. In casting up the score against street musicians it must never be forgotten that to them was due the untimely death of one of England’s foremost hu- morists, Joho Leech. The strain of ceaseless application to his work ren- dered Leech abnormally sensitive to street noises of all descriptions, and street music in particular drove him frantic. - The organ grinders, it is sald, knew of his enmity toward them and played within earshot of his studio sim- ply to plague him. In a letter to Mr. Bass, M. P., who was framing a bill for the suppression of street noises. Mark Lemon, ‘the editor of Punch, de: clared that beyond a doubt Leech’s ul- timately fatal malady, angina pectoris, or’ breast pang. was due to the dis- turbance of his nervous system caused by the continual visits of street bands and organ grinders.—London Chronicle. Cutting Him Off. “You?” snorted Miss Sharpe. “Marry Saved by Irving’s Recital. Sir Henry Irving, through the real- istic portrayal of the sufferings of a haunted man by his recital of “Eu- gene Aram,” caused one human being to be saved years of agony and sus- pense. A murder had been committed in a certain neighborhood, and a man had been seen in the vicinity where the crime was perpetrated. He him- self knew that he was innocent, but feared to face or run the risk of a trial. Therefore, although cleverly disguised, he ventured out only at night. One night he went to the gallery of a thea- ter where Henry Irving was playing and in listening to the recital of “Eu- gene Aram’ lost sight of the fact that Eugene really did the murder. The great actor so vividly imparted the bhappy sense of relleved conscience which follows confession that the fol- lowing day he gave himself up to the police. The evidence was not strong enough to convict, so he was able to bravely face the weorld instead of crawling about the earth the most m- erable of all creatures, a haunted man. —London Sketch. A Torrent of Meteors. The great shower of stars which took place on Nov. 13, 1833, and was seen over the greater part of the Unit- ed States extended over the north At- lantic and from the great lakes to the ‘West Indies and Central America. An old paper of that time, deseribing the scene as 1t appeared at the falls of Ni- agara, says, “The awful roar of the cataract filled the mind of the specta- tor with an infinitely heightened sense of sublimity when its waters were lghted up by the glare of the mete- oric torrent in the sky.” In southern Indiana, where the display was fully as brilliant, many persons were badly frightened, believing the end of the world, so often predicted, was at hand. As the end of the world did not come, the thirteenth day of the month was thereafter for several years marked down as a lucky day in the calendar.— Indianapolis News. [:3 Effort. Keep the faculty of effort alive In you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. Do every day something for mo other reason .than that you would rather not do it.—William James, GRANDMOTHERS USED SAGE TEA To .Darken. the Hair and .Restore Gray and Faded Hair to Its Natural Color. It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our grand- mothers understood the secret. They made a “sage tea,” and their dark, glossy ‘hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using “sage tea’ for their hair and are fast following' suit. The present . generation has the advantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly superior ‘to the ordinary “sage tea’” made by our grandmothers. ‘This remedy is sold under guaran- you?
