Strictly speak- ing, I cannot say that I feel like that.” --Public Ledger. The Optimist and the Trolley. The late Rev. B. M. Luther was an eptimist of the first water. In preach- ing his gospel of cheerfulness one day, he said to a friend of pessimistic tend- encises: " “What is that coming up Broad way?” “Why, just a trolley car.” “Precisely. To your eyes it is a commonplace, yellow vehicle, with an erdinary motorman in front and an everyday conductor in, the rear, but to the man of God-given sanguinity it is a chariot of gold with diamond-studded wheels, a seraph at the wheel and brake, and a cherub collecting fares.” —Success. A Physician’s Statement. Yorktown, Ark. Jan. 11,—Leland ‘Williamson, M. D., one of our cleverest physicians, made a statement endors- ing Dodd’s Kidney Pills and saying that he uses them in his daily prac- tice in preference to any other Kidney medicine. His statement has created a profound sensation, as it is some- what unusual for a physician to pub- Micly endorse anything in the shape of a patent medicine. Dr. Williamson says: “After twenty years’ practice in a sickly and malarious country I have come to the conclusion that it is al- ways best to use the remedy that will relieve and cure my patients, whether ethical or not. “{ have used Dodd’s Kidney Pills with uniform success in the various forms of Kidney Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheumatism, Inflamma- tion and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred diseases; I always pre- scribe Dodd’s Kidney Pills in such cases and can testify that they in- variably restore the Kidneys to their normal state and thereby relieve the blood of accumulated poisons, produc- ing prompt and effective cures.” 5 “Things are a bit mixed,” purred the kitten that had got entangled in a ball of wool it was playing with. Christmas Tree Legend. There is a legend in Ggrmany that when Eve plucked the fatal apple, im- mediately the leaves turned into needle prints and its bright green earned dirk. It changed its nature and became the evergreen, in all sea- sons preaching the story of man’s fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom brightly with lights and become beau- tiful with love gifts. The curse is turned into a blessing at the coming af the Christ child, and we have our @hristmas tree-—Life in America. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS. When Whitelaw Reid’s Telling Sen- tence Went Astray. A friend met Whitelaw Ried, the veteran editor of the New York Trib- une, the other day, and said to him: “J see you are on the advisory board of Mr. Pulitzer’s new college of jour- nalism at Columbia university. Do you expect to put an end to the typo graphical error?” “Fhe most we can hope to do,” said Mr. Reid, is to mitigate its horrors. Yeu can’t abolish typographical error any more than you can original sin. I remember when the prince of Wale? visited this country of writing an ed- itorial on the subject. I was young and ambitious and began by writing, “fhe prince of Wales is making capti- vating speeches.’ The next morning I nicked up the paper to enjoy reading it fm print. J turned to the editorial page and this met my gaze: “The price of nails is making carpenters swear.’ ”"— New York Weekly. GIVES “GO.” Food That Carries One Along. It’s nice to know of food that not only tastes delicious but that puts the snap and go into one and supplies staying powers for the day. A woman says: “I have taken enough medicine in my time to fur- nish a drug store, but in later and wiser years I have taken none but have depended, for the health I now enjoy, on suitable and sustaining food of which I keep on hand a tested variety, plain but nourishing. “Of these, my main dependence is Grape-Nuts, especially if 1 have be fore me a day of unusual effort either mental or physical. In this case I for- tify myself the first thing in the morn- ing with about 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream’ and not much else for breakfast and the amount of work I can then carry threugh succssfully without fatigue er exhaustion is a wonder to those about me and even to myself. “Grape-Nuts food is certain) a wonderful strengthener and is not a stimulant, for there is no reaction afierwards, but it is sustaining and strengthening, as 1 have proved by jong experience.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mith. There’s a reason four teaspoonfuls of GrapeNuts and cream will add more strength and carry one further than a plateful of coarse, heavy food that is nearly all waste.

Dunn, former state audi- tor, anncunces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor in the following signed declaration: I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Minnesota and I respectfully solicit the support of all Republicans and my fellow citi- zens generajly. No man is big enough to dictate a platform for the Republican party of Minnesota. The party, through its rep- resentatives in convention assembled, will formulate a platform upon which I will squarely stand. Tie combined wisdom of the Republican party of the state is better than the judgment of any individual member of the party. I heartily indorse and approve the platform adopted by the Republican state convention of 1902. There are eertain other things which I believe in and will practice, advocate and recommend if I am chosen governor. The state board of control should be absolutely divorced from politics and the affairs of the board should be con- ducted on business. principles on broad gauge lines with due regard to human- itarian features; no niggardly policy should be pursued. One of my cardinal beliefs is non- interference of the executive with the legislative branch of the government, and the appointive officers should eschew politics and devote their ener- gies to the performance of their offi- cial duties. Those who serve the state best will serve me best. The state should make liberal pro- vision for the reclamation of its swamp lands. I pledge myself to observe and en- force the law which gives ex-Union sol- diers preference to appointive offices. I pledge myself to a fearless and impartial enforcement of the laws. upon our statute books, particularly! those which guard the interests of the: people from the encroachments of corporate greed and aggression. Every citizen is equal under the Jaw and should enjoy equal privileges and equally share the burdens. In conclusion, I think my record in the legislature and in the state audi- tor’s office, which is an open book, should be a guarantee that I will dis- charge the duties of the office of gov- eetnor in an intelligent and business- like manner. If nominated and elected, I pledge myself to devote my entire time and attention to the faithful per- formance of the duties of the position. —R. C. Dunn. START FOREST FROM THE SEED. State Sill Undertake an Interesting Task. The delicate tack of growing pine and spruce treets from seeds will be undertaken by the state forestry board in a nursery on the Pillsbury reserve next spring. An acre will be sown with pine and spruce trees, the tender plants will be sheltered from the sun by screens of lath and of brush, and when the trees aré large enough they will be transplanted in the forest. This work will begin as soon as the graund is ready in the spring. A man has already been engaged to plant the seeds and care for the plants. Owing to the scarcity of pine seed in the United States, the board will sow more spruce than pine. Not long ago the United States forestry bureau secured 200 pounds of pine seed in the north- ern part of the state, and 100 pounds was accidentally burned. Pine and spruce plants when they come out of the ground are so delicate that they would be killed by the sun unless protected by screens. The en- tire acre, therefore will be covered with screens, half of which will be made of lath, nailed on cross sections about two inches apart, and half of which will be constructed of brush suspended from poles fastened to posts. The idea in using two kinds of screens is to ascertain which affords the better protection. To Put Up More Buildings. Judge O. B. Gould of the state board board of control has prepared a list of the new buildings to be constructed and other improvements to be made this year at the state university, agri- cultural school and other state institu- tions. The list will be submitted to Architect Clarence H. Johnston, who will begin to prepare plans and speci- fications. The improvements will cost $776,- 382.16, divided among the institutions as follows: State school of agricul- ture, $250,000; state university, $140,- 000; school for the feeble-minded at Faribault, $73,784.93; Hastings asylum, $72,648.72; Anoka asylum, $67,170.53; St. Peter hospital, $56,540.46; Fergus Falls hospital, $36,365.92; St. Cloud re- formatory, $29,444; Rochester hospital, $25,838.09; Faribault school for the blind, $19,489.51; Faribault school for the deaf, $7,100. Bride Walked Ten Miles, Jesephine Rock and Samuel Whip- ple, full-blooded Indians living at Prairie Island, were married at Red Wing by Justice Diepenbrock. The bride was dressed in a green waist with a black skirt, and was a modest, good looking Indian maiden. Several of the bride’s relatives and friends were present. Sheriff Lunquist and John Roustead affixed their signatures to the legal document as witnesses. The bride walked down from Prairie island, a distance of ten miles. MORE TIMBER FOR ITS MARKET. Duluth Sees It in Proposed Railroad Extension. H, Finger of the Port Arthur Lam- ber company is in Duluth on business, and says there is no doubt that Mc- Kenzie & Mann, are to build their Port Arthur, Duluth & Western road to a connection with Duluth, either to the eastern terminus of the Duluth & Iron Range at Ely or in some other way. This will open a large amount of tim- ber land to that market. Swallow & Hopkins will have something to do in this connection, for they have pre- empted the direct and only available right of way for a road to the east of Ely, and have built a logging railroad on it. This has given them absolute control of all timber growing on sev- eral lakes and along certain water- courses in that region, and they will not give up their positidn without com- pensation, All-rail shipment of lumber fs fairly active. Some of the mills are doing a Jerge business that way. The Ameri- n Lumber company is the pioneer in this line at Duluth and is reaping a rich reward, and the Red Cliff Lum-! ber company is also active. Probably fully as much lumber will be shipped out all-rail as during any previous winter. The McAlpine Lumber company is shipping out logs to the St. Louis mill in Duluth. It is also shipping ties to the Great Northern road, and will log pulpwood, posts and ‘poles along its spur, which is ten miles long and through a region rather well filled with these classes of timber. The Duluth Logging company, -which will cut over 30,000 cords of pulpwood this winter, mostly on the line of the Duluth & Iron Range road, is also get- ting out large quantities of ties and posts near Drummond.~ G. C. Armstrong, head woodsman for the Ashland Iron and Steel com- pany, who has been in Duluth hiring men and teams, says the company is getting out 50,000 cords of wood for the charcoal retorts. Of this, 8,000 cords come from Blueberry, 25,000 cords from Hinckley and 20,000 cords from Dunham and other points. GOVERNOR APPOINTS REGENTS. Judge Greenleaf Clark and E. W. Ran- dall Are Named. Judge Greenleaf Clark of St. Paul was reappointed member of the board of regents of the state university by Gov. S. R. Van, Sant, and E. W. Ran-' dall of Hamline, secretary of the Min- nesota agricultural society, was named to succeed Theodore L. Schurmeier of St. Paul. The term of office is six years, beginning Jan. 1, 1904. A delegation of citizens from. Ham- line appeared before the governor to urge the appointment of Mr. Randall. They emphasized his business ability and sound judgment as emphasized by his work in connection with the man- agement of the state fair. Col. Charles M. Van Duzee of St! Paul was the other principal candidate for membership on the board. Mr. Van Duzee was on the university fac- ulty four years and is an alumnus of the institution. Gov. Van Sant also appointed George B. Weisser of New Ulm member of the commission to locate the sanatorium for consumptives provided for by the) last legislature, and E. A. Tupper of Minneapolis on the board of pharmacy to sueceed George H. Goodrich of Anoka. Flushes the Game. Game Warden Fullerton is much in- censed over a newspaper publication which proves him the victim of mis- placed confidence. He has two dep- uty game wardens around Walker, Minn., investigating the wholesale ‘trade in venison and moose meat that is reported to be going on there. They ;were working under cover, but the publication “flushes the game,” and Mr. Fullerton says they might as well be recalled, since those guilty of the irregularities have been “put wise.” Indians on the reservation are al- lowed to kill deer for their own use at any time of the year, but not to dis- pose of outside. Venison is sold in the markets at Walker cheaper than beef, and much is shipped out under a beef label. Busy Times Ahead. As a result of the sale of the pine on | the Indian reservation there is a stir around Walker in preparation for logging on the reservation, in that vi- cinity. The Weyerhaeuser syndicate, the Pine Tree Lumber company and the Brainerd Lumber company are putting in camps on Leech lake, a few miles north of Walker. is the headquarters for these logging operations, business will be brisk next spring. Next summer the steam- boats will all be busy towing logs. It is rumored that a new steamer cost- ing $25,000 will be built for towing logs and hauling supplies. State’s Income Big. The December receipts at the state treasury aggregate $660,754.94. The principal items were: State taxes, $238,711.87; state institutions, $156,- 170.61; telephone company taxes, $33,- 209.97; redemption of funding banks, $25,000; interest on bonds, $32,787.50; grain inspection, $48,234.73; stumpage, $29,263.36; school lands, $32,811.92; interest on school lands, $17,580.84; hunters’ licenses, $11, 338.85. As that place | years f Tapher in South Carolina. “Some time after the Dispensary law went into effect out there,” saia the member from the Palmetto state the other day, “I was reporting a case where the parties on trial were charged with maintaining a ‘speak easy.’ It was in the little town of Valhalla, where a large proportion of the residents are Germans. The Dis- ‘pensary law had, of course, closed the Saloons and the Germans to get their beer regularly had organized so-called |*soctal and literary’ clubs, which were ‘no more or less than drinking joints. There were half a dozen or more such , clubs in this little burg, and finally ‘the prosecuting attorney got after them and had the managers arrested. The man on trial was endeavoring to prove that his organization complied with the law in that it was social and literary. To prove his case he placed an ‘old German upon the stand. In the course of the cross-examination the prosecutor asked: “Mr. Hantzmann, what periodicals did you keep on file at the club rooms?” “The old fellow scratched his head for a moment and then, with every ‘evidence of his desire to be honest } and truthful manifest, replied, ‘Oh, I ’spose ve hat mooch, mostly peer und corn viskey.’” Hydrophobia a Real Disease. | Despite the fact that denials have been made by various physicians of the existence of hydrophobia, several prominent members of une medical profession, at a meeting of the County , Medical Society of the College of Phy- sicians, declared that the disease has a “pathological entity,” and should be so recognized. Dr. G. Morton Hlman presented a paper entitled “A Report .of a Case of Hydrophobia, with Au- topsy.” Dr. Tilman described the symptoms as exhibited in the case, }and maintained that hydrophobia ex- ists as a separate disease, with pecu- liar symptoms, and he asserted that it is a grave error to call it excessive hysteria, as has frequently been done. Dr. M. P. Ravenel of the Veterinary department of the university said, in discussing the subject: “I have per- sonally experimented on 150 cases of animals which I inoculated with the germs of rabies, and I found that the brain in each case showed the same symptoms, and these symptoms have been found in no other diseases.”— Philadelphia Inquirer. The Lost Galleon. Her decks are drowned in sea-wreck, her guns are sunk in sand, Where she lies in the still water, hard by the Irish strand; There are dead in her gilded cabins, there are white bones in her hold, With the coffers rotting plank from plank, brimming o'er with gold. Bena Aue Rey ped ule her, that they might load her They sowed a goodly harvest for the fierce salt seas to reap, They freighted her with merchandise, with gold they weighted her well, Ere they steered slowly to her bourne their castled citadel. God rest their souls where. they He low, where she swirled down of yore With chanting priest and shrieking slave, a _stone’s throw from the shore! Nor all their piled-up ingots, nor all their - gold could save— Under the cliff together, the Don and the chained slave. Far o'er the gray-grecn waters goes sound of gull and gale; White caps are on the breakers and the sun on a patched sail; But she lies lost and mouldered, with her captains swart, and bold Dead _in her gilded cabins, and weighted down with gold. —C. Fox Smoth in The Lonion Outlook. Gordon a Stranger to Fear. Of Gen. Gordon, who died at Khar- tum, Lord Wolseley says: “A deeply religious man in whom danger appar- lently excited neither pleasure nor re- pugnance, he seemed only to distin- guish between a safe position or an extremely perilous one as he would notice any slight change in the weath- er of a fine sunny day. He knew how infectious courage was and how much any exhibition of contempt for per- sonal danger braced the nerves and steadied the heads of those less gifted with masculine daring than he was. He was a man in a hundred. During a lull in our siege operations one sailor was overheard saying to another in the battery: ‘I haven't seen old Gor- don here lately.’ ‘No,’ answered his sbipmate, ‘the fire ain’t hot enough for that old beggar just now.’” “Clefmania.” “Clefmania,” says “T. A. T.” is a comparatively modern form of the col- leeting craze. It consists in an irre- sistible ambition to gather together keys of all sorts, sizes and shapes. One victim to the habit, a woman, openly confessed recently to having iraveled over one hundred thousand miles in pursuit of her hobby, during which time she had expended, entire- ly on keys, quite a respectable for- tune. Her collection comprises the key of the Nuremberg Iron Virgin, one said to have belonged to Cleopatra’s jewel case, a huge iron specimen from the Tower of London, got by bribing a “Beefeater”; the one that used to unlock Anne Hathaway’s cottage at Stratford-on-Avon, and many others equally curious and interesting.
