1t Pays to Get the Best

Some people think economy means
buying cheap things-articles that cos.
the least money of any of their kind
True economy is getting the best for the
amount Of money you have to spend.
A really serviceable, well-made article,
even at a good price, is worth a house
full of sh' ddy manufactures, made only
to sell. There is no greater fallacy than
to suppose that Except in rare instaDces)
you can get a dollars worth of anything
for less than. dollar. Tradesmen do
not get rich by giving their goods away,
and it is safe to say that man is in his
business for the profits and not for
amusement. If you travel, it is econ.
omy of money, of time, of comfort, to
buy your ticket over such line as ''The
Burlington" where speed, safety and
equipment are all up to the very highest
standard and the utmost care taken to
keep them so. For tickets. rates, maps.
ETC., call on your local ticket agent, or
write to W. J.C. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.
Agent, st. Paul, Mimi.

No one can write farce comedies with
the success of Charles lIoyt. His latest
laughing success, GA trip to China

1t is piece of the regulation Hoyt

are we'll blended, equally distributed
and literally dealt out for the benefit
of an audience. You meet old fri+ ndly
jokes in new garb, but are so we'll
introduced and so pleasantly associated
that one for the time forgets their anti

will be presented to the visitors at the
Minneapolis Exposition this season,
will be the exhibit which will be made
this year by the United States Fish
Commission. Every kind of fish that is
to be found in the lakes and rivers of
this country will be exhibited in tanks
which have been prepared for that pur-
pose. A beautiful little grotto, made on
the same plan as the one which was
shown at the Worlds Exposition in
Paris, last year. has been constructed
under the personal supervision of Man

the fish swimming around as though in
their native element. There will be
fifteen tanks, each one being five feet in
length, and capable of holding large
number of the members of the fnny

He and his party went one day to examine
a hole or creviee under rock where it was
suspected a python lay hidden, and sure
enough it was there, for they could see bit
of the tail-end protruding from the hole.
They let it alone at first, thinking that when
the sun shone it might come forth to bask in
its warmth. In this. however. they
were disappointed, for on the follow

but, on closer examination, the tail was
