LOGAL TALENT PLAY ‘WAS GREAT SUCCESS The play entitled “It Pays to Advertise,” was given at the village hall last Friday evening by a group of Cohasset young people to a crowded house. The play was not only one of the best but was also one of the most liberally attended that has ever been presented in Cohasset. The “Old Maids’were well represented by Miss Evalyne Lane and Miss Gladys McNaughton,while the “Chief Gossip of the Aid So- ciety” was never better presented than by Miss Gladys Roberts. Prof Baldwin took the part of the old- time minister, and that he took it well was evidenced by the round of applause that greeted his every appearance on the platform. His twin daughters were most admir- ably imitated by Leora Cook and Ada Durand. Every other player took his or her part well. The audience was entertained in the interval between the acts by in the interval between the acts by Miss Jane Thompson, and by acts of comedy by Wayne Gilbert and Mable Thompson. Taking all in all, the audience was more thoroughly entertained than they have been by any play that has ever been given in Cohas- |set. The proceeds were turned over to the young people’s class of the Christian church to be used to pur- chase furnishings for the church. Tne wame He Got. In some cases abbreviating a name improves it. In others it doesn’t. For instance, the Tubbses thought they were doing honor to the Father of His Country as well as to their firstborn son whom they named George Wash- ington Tubbs. But when he grew up the handle proved too long, so everybody dropped the George, shortened up the middle name and called him simply Wasb Tubbs.—Judge. Perplexed. Mabel—Daddy. dear. what am I do- ing specially on the 14th? [’ve put red ink around it on the calendar, but I can’t remember. Daddy—Won’t the knots in your bandkerchief help you? Mabel—Oh, | tied those to remember I'd marked the calendar. — London Mail. An Example. “How could a dish run away with a spoon? Dishes are inanimate. A dish can’t run or talk.” “Can't, eh? How about the cup that cheers?”’—Kansas City Journal. And Some Go Broke. She—Do you believe that travel broadens one? He—Well, yes; people who go abroad generally spread them- STATE NEWS BITS Minor Happenings of the Week Throughout Minnesota, An error made in the senate en- grossing room during the closing days of the legislature may prove costly—to restaurant keepers. Be- cause of the mistake all restaurant ! proprietors using oleomargarine must put a notice on bills of fare, in eighty- point type, reading “oleomargarine |used in place of butter.” The en- |rolled bill provided eight-point type for the notice as intended by the au- thor. Employers are threatening to test the constitutionality of the law passed by the last legislature regulating the hours of employment of women. The measure is now in effect, although the state department of labor has taken no steps towards its enforcement and | probably will not do so until June 1. The reason assigned for the belief that the law is invalid is that it is class legislation. Governor Eberhart has issued a proclamation designating Friday, May 23, as Peace day in Minnesota. The proclamation comes in response to a request from the state peace society, headed by Cyrus W. Northrop, presi- dent emeritus of the University of Minnesota. The proclamation calls for a general observance of the day by schools and civic organizations. Virginia will have a recall election. Petitions for the recall of Mayor M. A. Murphy and all his supporters in the council, consisting of Aldermen McGhee, Harvey, Lindstrom, Keller, Mailan, Mattson and Coffee, are in cir- culation. Former Chief of Police Walsh, Alderman M. Boylan and other anti-Murphy men are said to be in charge of the movement. As a result of injuries received while coupling cars at Waseca, which left O. S. Burho, switchman, unable to get about save on his hands and knees, the supreme court has sustained the verdict of $24,750 against the Minne- apolis and St. Louis railroad, which was awarded by the district court of Ramsey county. Alleged threats by a loan company of garnishment proceedings to collect | $650 on what he said was originally a $50 loan obtained a year ago and on which he said $65 had already been paid caused Harvey BE. Howard of Minneapolis to bring injunction proceedings to halt alleged usury. Caledonia high school debaters won the state high school debating cham- pionship by a unanimous decision over the Hinckley team in the final con- test in the chapel at the University of Minnesota. Eli Pettijohn of Minneapolis, ninety- four years of age, will get $8,400 from the United States in settlement of a claim that he has been fighting for forty-two years. CRIMES AND MISHAPS. Frank Miske, a former St. Paul po- Mceman, has been arrested on com- plaint of three women that he had robbed their apartments of household goods and jewelry valued at more than $500 when detailed to watch the prem- ises after a fire had damaged the building, Jan. 19, 1912. When Peter Nelson of Faribault, seventy years old, decided to commit suicide he broke into the pesthouse, where he had been employed at times as nurse, got into a bed and took morphine. His body was found several days later. Charles Judd, marine engineer, was struck by a bucket which had snapped its chain on the steamer A. S. Upson at Duluth, was thrown into the bay and drowned. Judd was thir- ty-one years old. Members -of the family found the dead body of John Steen, residing near Triumph, in his hog yard. He had been shot through the head and bore every evidence of having been murdered. Oscar Johnson, twenty-four years old, was buried under six feet of sand while working in a trench at Minneap- olis and died before he could be reached. Henry Chalgren of St. Cloud, build- ing contractor, is dead from injuries received when he fell four feet into a basement. He was sixty-one years old. DEATHS OF THE WEEK. The death at Minneapolis of Pat- rick Manley, eighty-two years old, removed one of the familiar figures in Minnesota railroad history. Man- ley reached St. Pau! with J. B. Rice of Michigan, the first passenger con- ductor in the state, from Massachu- tts in 1857. He helped construct e first division of the old St. Paul Pacific railroad between St. Paul and Anoka. Later he removed to Anoka and became the line’s first road- master. @ 0 John Hart, president of Hart & Murphy, St. Paul cigar manufacturers, Death was due to a general break- down, with complications incident to old age. He was seventy-seven years old. John Cahill, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Dakota county, died at his home in Rose- mount after a brief illness. Mrs. Katherine Fox, aged eighty-one, widow of the late Joseph Fox, is dead at Vermillion, Dakota county. TWO THOUSAND MEN NOW OUT Cincinnati Street Car Serv- ice Paralyzed. CITIZENS WALK TO WORK Estimated That Fifty Thousand Per- sons Are Compelled to “Hoof It” to Their Destinations—Mayor Hunt Refuses to Put Policemen on Cars. Cincinnati, May 13—The street car strike here has assumed such an alarming aspect that there is pros- Pect of the state militia being called out to aid local authorities in keep- ing order. The third day of the strike saw nearly all of the 2,000 employes of the City Traction company out and the service throughout the city so badly crippled that there are practic- ally no cars operating. The company announced that an attempt would be made to run the cars with strikebreakers, which move, it was feared, would provoke an out- break. Mayor Hunt has taken a hand in the situation. He refused the trac- tion company’s request .to put police- men on cars manned by strikebreak- ers, He stated the police will only try to preserve peace and will do nothing to help break the strike. The company has not yet respond- ed to the demand of the mayor that the company arbitrate with the men. The mayor gave the company a cer- tain time in which to do so. If the company does not comply with May- or Hunt's demands the latter an- nounced he would apply to the courts for a receiver for the company and a revocation of the company’s charter. W. D. Mahon, president of the Na- tional Street Car Men’s organiza- tion, has taken charge of the strike here. It is estimated that 50,000 Cin- cinnatians walked to work. The strikers’ demands include a minimum wage of 25 cents and a maximum wage of 35 cents an hour. They are getting from 20 to 25 cents an hour. They are asking for recog- nition of the union and better work- ing conditions. SCHOOL THE ENTIRE YEAR Minnesota “U” Planning Continuous Session. Minneapclis, May 13.—Study at the University of Minnesota will continue all the year round and quarters of three months each will take place of the present half year or semester system, if plans of President Vincent are made possible by the budget for the biennium 1913-1915. The deans of the various colleges will meet shortly to discuss finances and the distribution of the budget and the new course of study probably will be considered. President Vincent believes that the university as an all-year school and the quarterly periods will increase the pay roll 20 per cent. It is possi- ble that the idea may be adopted next fall in one or two departments. SUFFRAGETTES KEEP BUSY Continue to Destroy Property in Unit- ed Kingdom. London, May 13.—The Nottingham Boat clubhouse was burned and §$10,- 000 worth of boats were destroyed. Police attributed the fire to militant suffragettes because their literature was found around the place. A marble statue of the eighteenth Earl of Derby, near Preston, in Lan- cashire, was found coated with tar and militants got the blame. Every window in the home of John Dillon, Irish Nationalist member from East Mayo, was broken when the suf- fragists bombarded it with stones, ac- cording to a message from Dublin. RATE DECISION BY JUNE 9 Supreme Court Plans Cleanup Before Final Adjournment. PROPOSES TO REVEAL FRIEDMANN’S SECRET Confidential Assistant Will Tell How Serum Is Made, New York, May 13.—Dr. M. A. Sturm, for two months the confiden- tial assistant to Dr. F. F. Friedmann, announced that within thirty-six hours he would make public the secrets of the Friedmann vaccine. He declared he would give the se erets to the Rockefeller institute, a committee of the New York Medical society and any reputable physician who desired it for purposes of re- search and experimentation. Dr. Sturm is one of two American physicians whom Dr. Friendmann has permitted to give injections of his serum.

South American eyestones are tiny objects that look like flat, round bits of polished bone. Upon one side of each stone there are numerous concentric grooves. If an eyestone is placed in vinegar or a weak solution of limewater it be haves very much as if it were alive. It moves slowly about in various direc- tions and altogether conducts itself in @ most mysterious manner. This strange activity has given rise among ignorant and superstitious persons te the notion that the eyestone has life and “loves to swim.” As a matter of fact, of course, an eyestone has no more life than a pay- ing stone. It is composed of calcare- ous material, and in limewater or cer- tain other liquids it is made to move about by the carbonic acid gas caused by the contact of the stone and the liquid. ‘These curious little stones were once the “front doors,” so to speak, of the shells of a tiny mollusk that lives along the South American coasts. The calcareous formation occurs at the tip end of the mollusk, and when it draws itself into its shell to escape danger or to go to sleep that tip fits so snugiy into the mouth of the shell that it af- fords the creature perfect protection against its enemies. The natives collect these little mot- lusks for no other purpose than to get the eyestones. Sailors on the vessels engaged in the fruit trade with those regions get the stones, bring them te the United States and sell them te ' druggists. ; The stones are often used for remov- ing foreign substances from the eye when the services of a physician or am oculist are not to be had conveniently. Many persons think that before using one you must put it in vinegar to give | it “life,” but the notion is absurd. You “need only insert the stone at the outer | corner of the eye with the grooved side next to the lid. The pressure of the eyeball moves the stone about in the ‘eye. The grooves collect and retain the foreign matter, and when the stone has accomplished its circuit it emerges’ at the end of the eye next the nose. There are other eyestones. In the head of the common crawfish there are two little bones just behind and be- neath the eyes. These bones resemble the South American eyestones, but the fish bones are wholly smooth instead of being grooved on one side. These crawfish bones have been used in the west as eyestones, but they are not so efficacious as those from South Amer- ica.—Youth’s Companion. QUEER FORM OF INSANITY.

Room Doors on the Stage. In real life room doors always open in toward the room itself. On the stage, however, room doors, as a rule, open outward, or away from the room. Exits are one of the most difficult parts of the actor’s art, and if he or she bad to fumble with the handle, pull the door toward them, step round it and pass through they would probably make a clumsy dodge of it. That ts why, as a rule, doors are constructed to open outward at a push.

This is known to alienists and lawyers as “oikimania.” Historic cases of it are those of Dean Swift. Mrs. John Wesley and the fa- ther of Frederick the Great. In women it generally takes the form of an unreasoning and baseless jealousy, leading them to make life a burden to their husbands, to sulk per- versely at home while shining in so elety or spending much time in re ligious devotion or in works of benevo- active brutality to their wives and children. It is often acompanied by they are torturing those they really love. But they are unable to shake they themselves become actually sane. Such was the case with Swift after the death of Stella, victim of his brutality, when he So well is this form of insanity nized that the courts will throw out the will of a man who has manifested it if this will cuts off his natural heirs. —New York World.
