TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Hntered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, Tue big city stores advertited dur- ing the holiday trade for business for the purpose of getting their share of the trade while it was at its best. They are now running full page “ads” oa the theory that the time to adver- tise is when you want tbe trade. A live merchant wants business all the time and advertises for it all the time. ——-__—_. THE ORDER OF THE GARTER. What a lot of human peacocks there are in the world. They cry for baubles. They want and fuss, and feathers, and colors jewels. They spend effort, time and energy for a thousand things that are nothing but yanity. King Edward, in the kindness of his heart, bestowed on the mikado the insignia of the Order of the Gar- ter. Of course, there isa bit of ro- mantic history connected with this bauble. It is alleged to be something to be entitled to wear it. It will not drive away disease; it contains no warmth; it is not par- ticularly handsome. On the bargain counter the average person would pass it by. Aud the mikado, who looks like the blazing sun when he dons all of his medals, had about as much reed for King Edward’s gift as a goat has for a halo. Yet Prince Arthur of Connaught, with his suite, is on the way to Japan to present the ribbon to the mikado. There will be speeches flowery and meaningless; there will be a grand reception; there will be knee-bending and head-ducking until you can’t rest. The little trip will cost the British government, which is just now sitting up nights in an effort to keep the un- employed from dying of starvation in the streets, about $20,000. We are peacocks, all, from a king down to the last humble citizen who wants a striped shirt and a fancy tie. —St. Paul News ; Meena i Ls MODERN MAGIC. The Marshall Field will makes the Arabian Nights tales seem like com- monplace. The list of the modern merchant’s bequests staggers the immagination even in this day when millionaires are counted by the thousands, says the St. Paul News. Eight millions to the Field muse- um, $1,000,000 to his widow, besides $2,000,000 in marriage settlements, $6,000,000 to a daughter, $1,000,000 to a daughter ip Jaw, $5,000,000 to two grand-children, a third of the residue ary estate to Marshall Field III, $5,000 to $750,000 to other relatives, $3,000 to $10,000 to old employes—here is a will that deals with millions as nimbly as the average mind can deal in dollars. And, yet, Field was nota particu- Other men One hundred and eighteen millions is not so-very much in this age of possible billion- aires and multimillionaires innumer- able. Even the commonest mind of to- day has learned to think in millions —other people’s millions, to be sure, but none the less real and palpable. Old Kiog Midas, whose magic touch turned everything to gold, is far out- done by the magicians of today. Old Croesus, to whom the shallow river Pactolus yielded unmeasured gold, seems only a “cheap skate” in these days, when every stream is a Pactolus, whose bed is not only dredged with steam dredges, but whose very waters are capitalized and floated at their weight in gold. No doubt there are lots of ‘people who think that the leaving of a pal- try million to Field’s widow pauper- izes her—that is the up-to-date form of the old English method of cutting off a relative with a farthing. But it should be remembered that Mrs. Field has slathers of money of her larly conspicnous figure. are richer than he was. rey * a | | comes to die with a lot of millions on ' posed by t own and did not want a large be- quest. And there a new. difficulty is sug- gested. When a righ man’s wife is rich and his children are rich it is barder for him to know how to geb rid of his. money than it was to make it. If the present general mad rush for wealth keeps up, the time may not be far off when the man who his hands may find nobody who needs it.or wao even will take it as a favor to a dying man. TEACHERS MUST FILE CERTIFICATE The attention of teachers is called toa provision of the law enacted at the last session of the legislature pertaining to the filing of certificates or diplomas. Teachers should pay particular attention to the fact that tney cannot legally draw their salaries until they comply with this act. The law covering the requirements is here- under reproduced: Section 1. No person shall be ac- counted a qualified teacher in any common school district within the meaning of the school law until such person has filed for record with the county superintendent of schools of the county where such person intends to teach a certificate or diploma or certified copy of either authorizing such person to teach school in such county. Sec. County superintendents of schools shall record in their offices in a book provided by the board of ceunty commissioners for such pur- pose, all material facts concerning teachers’ certificates and diplomas presented for that purpose, and shall certify to the holders of such cer- titicate or diploma that such record bas been made. Section 265 of schoo] laws No teacher shall be entitled to receive a third grade certificate more than twice in the same county. Section 266 says: The examination shall be public and teachers desiring to take the same may dismiss their schools for that purpose for a period not exceeding two days in each year without luss of pay. MR. PINCHOT’S LATEST SCHEME Representative ‘Tawney has intro- duced in the national house of repre- sentatives at the request of Gifford Pinchot, chief forrester; an amend- ment to the Morris act which would have the effect of enlarging the boun- daries of the forest reserve. While on its face purporting to release from the present reserve about 13,000 acres lying southwest of Cass Lake, the bill fixes the boundaries of a permanent forest reserve much larger than pro- he Morris act, Senator Nelson was ed to intro- duce the bili but refused todo so. The state delegation will not indorse it. Congressmen Bede, Buckman and teenerson have already declared that they will oppose it, Lecture. Hear Rev. E. C.

Milestones Need Frightei None But the Foolish. I have very little regard for the ght against Time which spends it- self on a strife With gray hairs and wrinkles. There used to be a picture published as an advertisement in which an elderly woman had one side of her face all ironed out smoothly, while the other was wrinkled and worn. The wrinkled side was the As we grow older every line in the countenance should tell a story of loving deeds. We are making for ourselves in youth the masques we shall wear to the very end. Every fretful, discontented, dis- satisfied expression writes itself upon the face so that the sweetest and ripest natures will have the rarest loveliness when they grow old. A woman is as old as she looks, and as old as she feels. A sign of our in- creased health and vitality to-day is found in the fact that a woman of fifty looks about as old as a woman formerly looked at thirty-five, and many an active woman of eighty has the vigor that was formerly common at sixty. The milestones need fright- en nobody. Older people are no longer put in a corner, nor are they expected to hug the chimney corner. It is a woman’s obligation to be charming to her latest day.—Mar- garet E. Sangster in Woman’s Home Companion. Annual WELL NAMED CANNIBAL PLANT. Nicaraguan Vegetable That Preys on Living Objects. On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is to be found an uncanny product of the vegétable kingdom known among the natives by the expressive name of “the devil’s noose.” How delighted Poe would have been to make this cannibal plant the subject of one of his weird stories! Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered it not long ago while wandering on the shores of the lake. Attracted by cries of paif and terror from his dog, he found the animal held by black, sticky bands, which had chafed_ the skin to the bleeding point. These bands were branches of a newly dis- covered carnivorous plant which has been aptly named “the land octopus.” The branches are flexible, black, polished, without leaves, and secrete a viscid fluid. They are also furnished with a great number of suckers, with which they attach themselves to their victims. It certainly deserves to be classed as the octopus of the vegetable world.—New York Herald. Vitality of the Ant. Ants have a wonderful power of ex- isting long periods after losing im- portant parts of their bodies which are not reproduced. They have been | & known to live two weeks without the abdomen, which is so bulky in propor- tion to the rest cf the insect. Under the most favorable circumstances an ant may live more than a month after its head had been cut off. One case is recorded in which the rest of the ant moved about forty-one days after decapitation, Ants also revive after being submerged in water for many days, although they seem to be dead a few minutes after they are im- mersed. si What Man Does Not Want. Woman has cause to be grateful for the publication of a volume dealing with feminine logic, for it forms, per- haps, the first tangible recognition that such a quality exists in the mind of the sex. But she is not thereby to be flattered into the belief that it will raise her intellectual status in mascu- line estimation. Man does not want the logical woman; as a logician he is too often conscious that che is the only safe receptacle of his wisdom, and when he informs her that his argu- ments are “sound logic,” he expects, and always will-expect, her to believe him.—Lady’s Pictorial. A Depressing Object. The bridegroom is generally the most depressing feature of the mod- ern wedding. If he is well off he is either bald, with a decided tendency to adipose tissue, or else of a pale sandy type, with equally pale eyes and a retreating chin. In ordinary life he wears spectacles, which at the request of the bride he discards at his wed- ding, with the result that he stumbles over the last step leading from the chancel to the altar aisles, and is only saved from falling flat on his face by desperately clutching at the bride’s bouquet—Ladies’ Field. Nicknames of Presidents. A number of Grant’s nicknames arose from his initials. Unconditional Surrender probably attained the wid- est popularity. The press of his day manufactured not a few U. S. sobri- quets, like “Unprecedented Strategist, Undaunted Stalwart, and so on. The soldiers called him Old Three Stars, | and he was also styled Hero of Appo- mattox. Garfield did not, of course, become the Martyr President until after his tragic death. He was also styled the Preacher President, from his early calling. Surprise for a Clergyman. It is on record that the pastor of the only Catholic church in a small town in Eastern Massachusetts was obliged to raise some money for re- pairing the church. Finding that his appeals met with little response, he decided to make a tour of the parish and solicit contributions. The local Mrs. Partington saw him approach the house, and, going to the door, she greeted the astonished gentleman with: “Come right in, revenue father.” travel, post signs, advertise and leave samples ot our goods.
