He didn’t do himself justice. —_—— CONGRESSMAN BuCKMAN .was de- feated in the Sixth district, after a bitter battle. He was opposed by many of the professional politicians and many people. He put up a goed fight and talked like a sure winner, under an adverse hundred but went down majority of nearly ten votes. paeermer erat 2 tt MILLAR’s campaign was a brief one, but under all the circumstances he made a splendid showing. His candidacy brought Bede-into the dis- trict for a few chats with the people and to renew acquaintances. The scare that was handed to him will probably have a good effect and keep him in congress while he is drawing a salary, aie Sea It's a wobbly man who complains tbat the Republican state platform is not broad enough for him. State development issue is alive and strikes us all with equal force, and the fel- low who claims to be a Republican and does not vote for A. L. Cole is a pretty shaky mao in the ranks and is trying to dodge the issue.—Grant County Review. Were each nation to divide its cash among its own people each hu- man being in France would have $35 or $10 more than each person in our country under similar circumstances. Meanwhile, the divided cash of Great Britan would give each Briton only $18; in Germany the cash per capita would amov nt to only $17; Russia 88, and Japan $3, while in Cuba each person would get a two-dollar bill. eee Coxe is not a talker, he is a doer. | #' He is not a poser but a man of action. He will be something more than a loliing bit of bric-a-brac in the gover- nor’s room at the capitol, says the Pioneer Press. He knows the men who compose the legislature and they know him. They know that he knows the state’s business from end to end, and they therefore respect his judgment as they admire his energy and his integrity of purpose. Sucha man cannot but havea beneficient in- fluence on every department of the state’s activity, executive as well as legislative, tenfold greater than that of a man whose chief title to fame consists in bis rare success in doing almost nothing, Cole in the Legislature.

No matter preparations, including tablets, con- | where you hear that argument, nor view | by whom it is advanced, don’t you believe it. There may be churches where em- pty seats greet. preachers; there are probably houses of worship where the congregations are largely made up of women and children. But it is a fact that today there is more gvod in life; a greater und. more earnest desire to be kind and sympa- thetic and tender and charitable than ever before. And it is easy to believe, basing that belief on the good that one can see in everyday life, that the day of the true brotherhood: of: man will dawn,ia God’s own good time. The other day 30,000 pilgrims made the trip to“Lourdes to bathe in the spring thatiscredited with the mirac- ulous power of healing. You have no right to sneer at those unfortun- ates, lame, crippled, afflicted with a thousand ills. They were vot all from the soil, not all ignorant and uncouth. They were human beings from every walk of life who were suffering and who still had faith that the Great Power that clothes the flelds in .verdure; that makes the flowers and the bird songs; the per- fume of roses and the glory of life; that permits the sun to shine on the goud and the bad; the Author of the Great Plan under which you live, whether resisting or worshiping— still had faith, we say, that that Power could and would grant relief. It was a strange scene for this world that we have called material- istic. Peaceful-faced Sisters of Mercy knelt and prayed while the chants of the sick made sad music. Priests offered words of consolation. One train, known as the White Train, had 400 victims so pitifully a#licted that a description of their condition would bring muisture to your eyes. They were cripples so twisted that it was with difficulty they were gotten through the car duors. And yet those victims endured dis- comfort and pain with smiles, and still thanked the Good Ged for life and hope, and went to the spring firm in belief that if it was God’s wis- dom they should be healed “But were there any miracles?” you ask. Were these peuple, or any number of them cured or helped? Who are we that we should even attempt to explain the workings of Frovidence? Which is more a miracle; to cure a broken body or tw grant its possessor strength to eudure pain; to make the most of what he has and the least of what «be has to endure; to keep him firm in his faith that what is 00d? If the pilgrimage to Lourdes served no other purpose than to prove that Faith is living and growing; that mankind realizes his smallness and helplessness, and mst rely on Na- ture. Providence, God, call the Keep- er what you will, to strength to ive well and to die well, then it bas not begn in vain.—St. Paul News. Medicine Inspection. North Dakota has taken tue lead in trying to protect its citizens from innocuous to Gangerous drugs, medi- cines of unknown compositiva, adul- terated liquors, impure foods, etc., by forbidding their sale in the state if their composition is not correctly and plainly stated on the packages containing them. The execution of this law was left with the officials of the State Agricultural College, and its chemical department, Prof, Ladd at the head assisted by A. G. Nickles, has bad to analyze hundreds of sam- ples tu determine whether their com- position is legal or not. A report of their work up to date has been issued in bulletin No. 69, and it is a great pity that 1t canoot be read in every fawily in the Union. ‘There is space in this connection to mention only a few uf the widely advertised socalled patent medicines that our people are guzzling by the lake full, in the ag- yregate: Vita-Ore is one of the most extravagantly lauded medicines in advertisements.

ONE OF WOMAN’S CHIEF CHARMS Should Ever Remain a Mystery to Husband, Says Carmen Syiva. Carmen Sylva says that reticence is the secret of marvied happiness. The first fatal and irreparable mistake in married life is that of confiding one’s sorrows to the nearest, dearest friend —of allowing any one a peep into the difficulties of the situation. And it must be owned that in this matter men, on the whole, display greater reticence and discretion than the majority of women. Every woman should remain more or less a sphinx, even to her own hus- band, so that he may always find in her some new riddle to solve; the mystery that envelops her is one of the greatest charms in his eyes, and the feeling with which it inspires him is one of well nigh religious awe. If they could but understand this surely many a wife would spare her husband the hysterical outbursts, the tears and scoldings, which can only tend to alienate still further his af- fections, without affording herself the slightest relief. Love is the great magician, who alone can work miracles. It lives on turoughout all change, fitting itself to altered circumstances, and triumphing in the end over fate—over death itself. In married life it depends chiefly on woman’s deft touch to keep alive the sacred flame, tending it carefully through every transformation. It is, thanks to her delicate tact, that the fitful light whose glamor il- lumined love’s young dream. instead of being extinguished by the first chill breath, shines on undimmed as the steady, constant glow of friendship in later years—Philadelphia Bulletin. GOT TRUE FACE OF COMPOSER. How Sir Joshua Reynolds Made Suc- cess of Haydn Portrait. Sir Joshua Reynolds was once com- missioned to paint a portrait of Haydn, the celebrated composer. Haydn went to the residence of the painter and gave him a sitting, but soon grew tired. Sir Joshua would not paint a man of such genius with a stupid countenance and adjourned the sitting. The same weariness of ex- pression occurring at the next at- tempt, Sir Joshua communicated the circumstance to the commissioning prince, who contrived a stratagem. He sent to the painter’s house a “pretty German girl in the service of the Queen. Haydn took his seat for the third time, and as soon as the conversation began to flag a curtain rose and the fair German addressed him in his native tongue with a com- pliment. Haydn, delighted, over- whelmed the enchantress with ques- tions, his counterance recovered its animation and Sir Joshua rapidly and successfully seized its traits. Attention. Attention has been the making of many an otherwise worthless man. Military men have long appreciated the value of attention; but our schools public and private, seem not to under- stand the meaning of the term. The inattentive fellow is always going off half-cocked. Before giving an order to his men the officer shouts, “Ten- tion!” Once in a great while there is a commander who uses the full word, “Attention!” Which invariably means “tension.” That is, to bring a soldier to “attention” is to make him understand that his nerves must be on a “tension,” his whole being must concern itself with the business in hand. He must not be wool-gather- ing. The man of the inattentive ear is a failure. Her Method of Darning. “The worst case of a hen-pecked man I ever saw,” said the traveling man, “is up in my little native place among the Berkshire hills. The hen in this case is a smart woman who runs a farm and _ keeps everything shipshape except her husband. She is content to let him get along in any old fashion, so long as he does not interfere with her work. One day. he asked her apologetically if she wouldn’t darn at least one pair of his stockings, for every pair he owned had holes, She gave him a crushing glance, and said: ‘If every pair has holes, wear two pairs, and the good places in one will cover the holes in the other.’ And she made him do it, too.” Peach Sundae at Miller’s ice cream parlors, Try it with yournext order. ing’ by stupefying the helpless in-| Sonu N At the ahilig at of the county board held August 29, the following supple- mental list of graud and petit jurors was drawn as follows: 3 GRAND JURORS Geo.
