Some of the moving picture shows have “reel” comedy each evening. Governor Eberhart and Frank M. Eddy have formed an Ananias club with two members. Five ducks were sighted in Lake Bemidji Tuesday. They were in the open water near the inlet. “On to International” is the new slogan for Northern Minnesota. The meeting will be the best ever. Guess that militia war scare was for the purpose of getting more men. About the only thing that came of it in Minnesota was several hundred en- listments. Now it is being used in North Dakota. Swell chance of a war with Mexico! Getting Wise. Roosevelt who, with his shelled Progressives, is now working overtime and with much perspiration to find that overwhelming demand for his candidacy, to which he so gracefully yielded, is now developing his own school of mollycoddle cor- respondents in Washington. These’ correspondents are now trying to send out to the press of the country a boycott on the New York World and the New York Evening Post, ad- vising everybody not to read either of these papers because their oppo- soft- mated by personal animosity. But they have warned unwisely. They have called the nation’s attention to these two papers. These two papers are among the ablest edited newspa- pers in the United States.and they are uncompromising truth searchers. In 1904 The New York World had the audacity to ask Mr. Roosevelt ten very gsaucy and impertinent ques- tions. Mr. Cortelyou was Mr. Roose- velt’s campaign manager. The World wanted to know how much the beef trust contributed to Mr. Cortelyou; how much the paper trust, the coal trust, the sugar trust, the oil trust, the tobacco trust, the steel trust, the insurance trust, the national banks, and the six great railroad trusts, con- tributed to Mr. Cortelyou. Mr. Roos- evelt never answered these questions. He couldn’t. He was up against it. So he threw himself into a violent temper in denouncing these papers. He even tried to sue the New York World and got badly burnt in the suit. But the facts developed and it was shown that three great life in- surance companfes ' contributed - at Copyright, 1912, by American Press Assoclatiom.

If was their idyl—their idyl from which they bad been rudely awakened by one in au- thority. He laid the last egg reverently back In its nest of silver. He looked up at Miss Crutcher with eyes full of de- sire. He pushed the box gently to- ward her. “I want it. Price, please?" She handed it back neatly done up “Might I suggest that you could have chosen much prettier ones?” she said, mentioning the price. “None that would have pleased me 5o well.” He laid down the price. *1 Buppose you know whose work it is.” “Oh, of course we have to know names and addresses!” “And if one wanted to give an order In person?” Miss Crutcher smiled shrewdly. would have to be left with us.” He went out with his box and stood 8 moment thinking. The exchange faced a small city park, so small that Worthington- did not think he had ever explored it. He crossed the street and entered its sparsely shaded walks. He fancied he would find a rusty fountain in the center, dripping a meager stream of water upon a few languid goldfish. A -ring of dingy. green benches surrounded the foun- tain. He sat down op ome. At the moment he did not know why. He was not tired. Afterward he called it predestination. As far as his ob- servation went only one other bench about the fountain was ‘occupied. Two maids sat on It, -one, a. nurse- mald, trylng to decelve an innocent baby Into believing it was getting a ride by shoving its perambulator to erm’s length and drawing it back, which occupation did not in any way Interfere with the conversation she was carrying on with the other maid, to the manifest enjoyment of both la- dies in their gossi The other mald had an apron full of parcels. A lean dog shuffled close up to her and sniff- ed. Evidently there was something to eat in some of those packages. The dog was hungry. The maid kicked out with a stout boot to her own un- doing. A parcel fell npon the dirt walk. The dog seized it and cantered off joyously. A cry of dismay smote upon Worthington’s preoccupled ears. “My mercy! It's Miss Josephine’s paints he's got!” - Josephine—and paint! taking a hind in -his affairs. Worth- ington reached out with his umbrelia. “It By PETER M'ARTHUR. people are getting “dope sheet” letters The searchlight is betng turned on this great patriot {who is so graciously bowing to the will of the people, and who, through- out his entire occupancy of the White House, did all within his power to and obstruet| Follette.—Wisconsin State { e gathered her into a close embrace.

The hungry dog’s lean neck fitted into it nicely. He dropped his booty and made off. Worthington picked up the damp par- cel. The paper was torn where the dog's teeth had been inserted. v the time the thankful maid had reached him he had satisfied himself that the package contained water color tubes. He smiled benignantly on the grateful girl. “You paint? “Me? My, merey! No, sir. Butmy Miss Josephine does, and she paints so hard and so constant that she won't even stop to go after her stuff. If that famished beast had eat up those paints it would have meant a heap to us.” “To him, too,” Worthington said with a light hearted laugh. The rest was easy. All he had to do was not to lose sight of the stout.maid until she disappeared behind a door in a small cheap flathouse some streets off. He groaned as he touched one of the vestibule bells at random. He would touch them all if need be. His second experiment brought him froi”| tipn. The stout maid showed him into a small sitting foom. 'The egg artist rose from her work table at the star- tling announcement. “‘A gentleman for you, Miss Josephine.” The girl turned, turned to find her- gelf almost in the arms of the man whom sbe had last seen under the lo- | quat tree in far Bermuda. | “How could you?" was all he said as | | Her head dropped wearily on his | { shoulder. *Tom, Tom!

When I left you it was because you said you had to de- vote your life to your dying father. You were to write to me when 1 was to come back.” *Oh, and I did. I did. and then Hal told me you had married Miss Moore in I'arls. But how did you find me, Tom?” She held him off to look at him with happy, luminous eyes. *“The idyl! I found it, dearest, at the exchange. It spoke from your heart to mine. Aiso I aw indebted to a hun- gry dog.” He laughed and told her the story of his morning.
