SCHOOL BLUNDERS.

A teacher in a public school gave
out list Of words to be defined and
put in sentences. Among them was
the word "chasm.' A little girl
looked in the dictionary, and, not be-
ing quite satisfied, inquired "chasm''
met gap" The teacher absently
replied, YES" but was astonished
when she presented her paper with
this sentence; when l am sleepy,
always chasm' But this is hardly
equal to another teachers experience
in little district school some years
ago. She gave out words for analy-
sis. "Bank-note" was one Of them,
and the teachers astonishment may
be imagined when one young lady
brought the following unique analy-
sis: "Bank-note is a compound,
primitive word, composed of bank
and note. Bank is simple word
meaning the side of a stream; note,
to Set down. 'Bank-note, to set
down by the side of a stream" p

During the war man, great in his

appointed a brigatier-general. His
sense of his own Importance was

The Founder of the Pot Luck Club.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Strolling up Broad
way just after banking hours almost any
pleasant afternoon short, portly gentle
man, with grizzled, curly beard and hair
and laughing eyes, bows right and left,
giving CHEEKY greetings to every man of
note he meets. Every one of them is glad
to call Robert B. Roosevelt his friend. Age
sits lightly on his shoulders. He is saun-
tering from the Office of the Holland Trust
company, of which he is president, toward
his pleasant home on Fifth avenue, where,
amid such surroundings as are afforded by
affiuence and keenly cultured taste, he dis
penses such hospitality as is rarely to be
found anywhere. 1t is a home made bright,
moreover, by one of the brightest women
in New York-the wife he married abroad,
when she was Mrs Marion Fortescue and
he was United States minister to The
Hague.
Roosevelt is proud of his Dutch ancestry,
as are all the family of which he is easily
the most distinguished. He is president
of the Holland society-an association of
pure Knickerbockers who celebrate their
ancestry with high jinks every year. He
might have been more famous had he been
poorer man, for he is a very gifted poet,
painter, orator, statesman and financier
besides being famous fisherman and one
of the greatest wits alive, and the only rec
ognized successor of the famous bon Vi
want, Sam Ward. AS it is, lacking the
incentive of poverty he is rather a social
than public celebrity.
He was the originator of the famous Pot
Luck club, and while it lasted was its mov-
ing spirit, but after he was sent to Holland
by President Cleveland there were no more
meetings of the club, and since his return
he has not revived it.

Duluth Correspondence.

DULUTH, Dec. 1.-The business sit
uation of the whole country is said to
be constantly improving. Itcertainly
is so in the Northwest if the rest of
this section is is be judged by the sit
uation of Duluth. There never was
more healthy tone here. The big
wheat crop of Minnesota and the two
Dakotas gave the first big boom to
level business. That was felt mainly
by members of the Board of Trade
and elevator companies. The trans
portation companies also came in for
their share. Large amounts of the
money received for wheat was dis
bursed among the laborers employed
by them, and much of it at once came
into circulation. Then came the good
demand from the west for coal, lum-
Der and merchandise and Duluth mer-
chants and manufacturers Wee given
about all they could do. The steady
gain in BUSINESS extended to nearly
all lines. With enough street work
and building to employ all the labor
here the city has been fortunate.
Lately the supply of money from the
East, and West too for that matter,
grew easy and no better situation of
affairs have been known here. For
the winter the outlook is peculiarly
good. With the extension of the lum
Der trade with the East and the COM
petition of the several new mills there
is greater activity among loggers
and mill men than at any other prev
ious time. This winters log cut for
Duluth mills and those near by will
run up to 35O,OOO,OO0 feet, or so per
cent more than last year. The open
ing of the new blast furnace and the
big business of the Duluth Manufac
turing Company has added not lit
Il0 w OII6 OAolAOOO dOGIFIUJ AOAO' AL
manufacturers are busy and prosper
Gus. Another important fact is the
large amount of work in the develop
ments in Duluth's iron territory. This
is employing great numbers of men
and great amount of capital. Du-
luth business men look forward to the
best year they have ever known in
1892 and the rest of the Northwest
will be in the same situation.
The Duluth & Winnipeg has begun
it's preliminary work for the building
of the branch to the Mesaba mines
near LaPrairie. This branch will be
about ten miles long.
Wheat receipts here last week were
1875, ,738 bu. against 613,151 bu. for
the corresponding week last year, or a
gain of 115 per cent. Shipments
were 1,182,874 bu. against 1900 bu.
for last year. There are now here
3,380,OO0 bu. Duluth -four mills last
week turned out 1858 bbls. of -four.

The laws of health are taught in
our schools; but not in way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases could be done. If some
scholar who had just contracted a
a cold was brought before the school,
so that all could hear the dry loud
cough and know its significance: see
the thin white coating on the tongue
and later, as the cold developes, see
the profuse watery expectoration and
thin watery discharge from the nose,
not one of them would ever forget
what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
a severe cold could be cured in one
or two days, or at least greatly miti-
gated, when properly treated as soon
as the first symptoms appear. For

Douglas County Independent:
About September lst circular was
issued to the farmers by the great
Alliance leaders urging them to hold
their wheat for sixty days, to stand
off their creditors, etc.; that by SO
doing they would get 81 OR Sl.5O per
bushel. Wheat was then bringing
IS to 80 cents per bushel. Quite a
number of farmers throughout the
country did so, asking for an extern
sion of time on bills due Sept. and
Oct. LIST to Dec. 1st and many of them
are now obliged to sell wheat at rs
cents. Thereby losing from 10 to
Is cents on every bushel sold. How
these deluded farmers must appreci-
ate such advice. They will gradual
ly learn that the very men that pre-
tend to be so much interested in their
welfare and are continually warning
them to beware of others, are their
worst enemies and will only lead
them into difficulties and ruin in the
end, if they continue to follow their
advice.

We have received circular from
Gov. Merriam, calling the attention of
the people of Minnesota to the pitiful
condition of the sick and dying Rus
sian peasantry and appealing to the
generosity of our people to contribute
for their relief. Surely we should not
be backward in contributing to so
worthy a cause. The governor says:
Il have designated as a committee
to receive contributions of -four, rye,
wheat and other breadstuffs, Msesrs.
VIC. Edgar and Charles Mace. Reeve
of Minneapolis, and George B. Evans
of st. Pnul. The metropolitan news
papers will doubtless be glad to ac-
cept cash donations"
Il therefore call upon the people of
this state to make such contributions
for this purpose as the means OF each
will permit. Let a generous response
be made, for we, as a people, are
abundantly able, and the blessings of
Divine Providence will be our reward"
