MIXED CP.-The Albert Lea Stand
ard credited four items from our paper of
last week to the Register. The old man,
after once reprovlng his son, gave him
back. handed lift and laid him out, saying:
"Sonny, that makes two times I've told
YOU" Now, Mr.. Standard, this makes
twice you have done that thing, and don't
you do it any more.
We say, once for all, to all our friends
who are interested, that nothing that
Page or Hotchklss ever has written, or
ever can write, 10 regard to us, worries
or annoys US in the least. We receive it
as part of life's discipline, and knowing
that all these things have and will con-
tlnue to work to their disgrace and to
the shame and confusion of their friends.
Every now and then we see q recipe
certain amount OF soda which
is to be dissolved in hot water, before add
ing it to the preparation. Our lady friends
will please remember that hot water rem
ders the soda almost useless, as a large !
share of its carbonic acid is driven off. |
To dissolve soda in hot water We reduce |
it to the condition of washing soda, more
or less, as the " alter is hotter or cooler.
1T Is evident that even the Pageites
don't like the Republican, at least not as .
family paper. We know of one man
who takes the paper, and advertises in it,
but after peruslng its columns, destroys
it. This gentleman has son of some
fifteen summers, who, not having the priv
ilege of reading HE fathers paper, goes
to the Office and gets copy for himself,
and after devouring its contents, destroys
it also. This Is Pages family paper.
