MINNESOTA POLITICS. That Governor Eberhart is to have serious opposition in his attempt at re-election next fall is a fact ad- mitted by his closest friends. To retain the use of a mahogany desk in the state capitol for another two years, Governor Eberhart must dispatch opposition in his own ranks, Sam Gordon, for it is a forgone conclusion that the lieutenant governor contemplates storming the citadel, and a man to be picked as the proper person to wave the Progressive banner. In this latter class Samuel Lord, of the state tax commission has been sug- gested but Senator Lord has dodged the near honor and William E. Lee of Long Prairie is being mentioned and Mr. Lee has been mentioned so often that it doesn’t bother him. While the Republican state con- vention likely will not resemble a thrusting to one side pink tea in many respects, astute politicians (meaning the ones who are in control) say Eberhart will be the regular Republican nominee. The only thing that might prevent this would be an uprising on the part of the people but generally the people have a small peep at state conven- tions. Who the democrats will brand is another interesting complication of a year of unusual political tangles. Dame Rumor keeps on repeating the report that Congressman Hammond will be it but Hammond says the old dame guess - coming. There are some members of the leg- islature whose names sound good, in- cluding Albert Pfaender of New Ulm but no one has, as yet been tagged. John Lind, always the hope of Min- nesota demochacy, succeeded in kill- ing off . the bothersome, “save us, John” cry when he refused to run after being nominated at the last conventioh. So whep all is said and done the fact remains that the one best bet of the democrats is a man who lives in the city of Bemidji—Judge C. Stanton by name. As a campaign orator Judge Stanton has a line of eloguence ~that would stir up the state. He looks like a governor, talks like a governor, and if elected would sure enough be a governor. He was elected to the district bench by an overwhelming vote on a nonpartizan ticket and is free from any factional differences in the ranks of the demo- crats and would command many re- publican votes. If the republicans ' are wise they Wwill see to it that Judge Stanton is not the democratic nominee. has another For Charity, A millionaire who was looking over hl: wife’s cash account the other ‘day said: “I notice here, my dear, an item of " $500 for charity.

The one thing to gunrd against in a powder will 1s a spark of fire. To avoid that the utmost precautions are taken. In the first place, the plant Is located so far from a railrond track that a spark from a passing locomo- tive can never reach it. The grass and weeds are not permitted to grow bigh enough aronnd it so that when they- become dry. a fire could reach the ‘| plant by that means. Strangers are kept off’ the grounds. Smoking Is-not permitted in or near the plant. . The workmen are not permitted to carry matches. They are not allowed: to wear shoes with pegs or nails in them. They wear “powder boots,” made with soft soles that bave no pegs or nails In them. An fron pall in'a boot sele might strike a spark on the floor. Iron is not permitted to touch Iron on the plant. This is one inflexible law. of all powder mills. The hammers that are used are all of wood or brass or copper, which cannot strike a spark. The' ‘cogwheels that run together are of brass. or copper for the same rea- son. The juurnals of the wheels are of copper or brass.—Kansas City Star. i Famous Snuff Takers. The-eighteenth century was the age of snuff-taking par excellence. The custom ‘was general among all classes of people. for well bred men to offer their snuff- boxes to well bred women. Women themseives . carried their owid boxes and interchanged pinches with the gen- tlemen. At fashlonable dinner parties after the cloth “was removed snuff boxes were pussed around. Pope and Bolingbroke Swift and Congreve, Ad- dison and Steele, all_indulged in the pleasures of snuff. Dr. Johnson car- ried- his snuff’in the capacious pockets of bis waistcont and would convey ft to his nose without stint. He could not abide the narrow confines of a box Frederick the Great resembled him In this respect. Both Napoleon and Wel lington were prodigious snuff takers. but Washington indulged only moder ately. Jefferson was fond of snuff, as bis waistcoat and frill often showed Henry Clay was another famous snuff taker and often needed the stimulus of a plnch when making a speech - -Penr» son’s.

Saved, the Crown Jewels. A very romantic adventure once be- fell the -Scottish crown jewels while they were deposited for safety in Dun- ottar castle. This stronghold was be- sleged by Cromwell so hotly that the little garrison decided to surrender. On the eve of yielding the wife of Ogllvie. the commander of the beleaguered cas- tle, managed, with the ald of the wife of the local minister, to elude the be- slegers and get the jewels away. The latter were ‘buried under the pulpit in the parish church and: lay there till the restoration, though the minister and his wife were tortured to disclose the place where the jewels were hid- den. . Ogilvie was afterward reward- ed with a ‘baronetcy. and Keith. who stoutly declared he had seen them in the possession of the exiled King Charles I1.,: was made an earl.
