Silence is made up largely of words of
wisdom.
The speed programme of the fast
young man is made of sporting notes.
We are all so quick to observe other
mems chances for amounting to some
thing.
1t is so unfortunate that mans bump
of caution is always on the back of his
head.

but do not make others weary talking
aboutit.
The bull doubtless caught his habit
road from man.
There are very few people who do not
believe that when they become ghost
it will be holy one.
If one knew in advance just what life
is going to be there would be nothing
left to hope or to live for.
If some people could twist their
mouths around behind their heads they
would actually talk behind their own
backs.
All of rich mans philosophy is APP
plicable only to the poor; the wise
things poor man would do depend
upon the possession of riches.
There are TOO many young people in
the world who spoil their real talents
10y getting the idea into their heads
that they have higher career before
them.
1t has been noticed that men who are
the quickest to take offense. at remarks
made about their personal appearance
are slowest TO resent anything said
about their lack of brains.
Do not lie in bed at night and strive
to cOnjure up some palatable grievance
or imaginary persecution from which to
rescue yourself as victorious victim.

THE TAX ON BACHELORS.
Kate Field Thinks the Plan Is q
Good and Equitable One.

NUT ftclu thinks CIlG ran Is q
Good and Equitable One.
The Wyoming legislature has passed
law taxing bachelors 81 year, says
Kate Field in her Washington. Whether
the fact that women vote there has any
thing to do with this new departure 1
don't know, but why isn't it just tax?
Society says to woman, Its your busi-
ness to be married as soon after you
have made your debut as possible.
Otherwise you'll be called an old maid,
than which there can be no epithet more
odious. But you can't choose hus-
band. That would be most unwonanly.
You must wait to be asked"
The result is that the average woman
takes what offers-not what she wants
rather than risk her chances on the
future; and men stalk about literally
the lords of creation. Well, if these
lords don't choose to take upon them
selves the responsibilities of matrimony,
why should not they pay penalty?
Just so long as women are tainted for
living in single bleSSedness. just so long
ought unmarried men to be taxed. This
tax should begin at the age of thirty
and be doubled every five years, unless
a bachelor proves that he has been
crossed in love or is true to some sainted
Maria, whose memory is dearer to him
than the smiles of sirens still alive.
Poverty, perhaps, may be an eXteifuation
OF the offense; in this case it would be
we'll TO make the bachelors work out
this tax in some way useful to the state,
while the victims of blighted affection
could be utilized in charity organize
tons.
The more think the matter over, the
more righteous think the tax. If rig
idly enforced, it might relieve the en-
barge on women. When the sexes stand
OIL equal grounds. it will be i'll order to
tax both bachelors and old maids.

The favorite fall mantle, of which a
glimpse comes to US from over the
water, is tight fitting upon the back and
sides, and loose in front. 1t is likewise
double-breasted. A row of buttons ex.
tends all the way down the left side of
the garment, but. unlike other double
breasted robes, it is not provided with
corresponding row of buttons on the
opposite side. None of the double
breasted fall cloaks are to be fitted out
with two rows of buttons.

WHERE HE PVT HIS ARM.


lie stood outside the gate awhile,
And said Good night with lovesick smile
Good night" she said Good might" once
more
lie muttered as he'd done before;
And then. lured by some snbtle charm,
He came inside and put his arm
She wore hat of janntv shape.
Tied up with some soft. clinging crepe;
A truant ribbon from its peak
Strayed down and kissed her dimpled
cheek.
The moon was full; +he hour was late,
AS they stood there beside the gate.
His love- by Cupid's bellows famed.
Blazed up. He took her little hand,
And muttered: ''Dear, what is the harmr
And then he gently put his arm
She wore gown of creamy white,
So hlmy that fairy might
Have spun il in an hour of thrift
And sent it 10 her as q gift.
The moon reflected, '"rhree's crowd"
And then politely sought cloud.
With opportunity so near,
His love Welled strong and banished fear;
He smiled away her first alarm,
And then he gently put his arm
A little bird came round next day,
And told me that twas just TINS way:
He put his arm, as thus they stood,
Where it would do the greatest good.

room she saw him watching her from a
distance. In due course they arrived
at Mentone.
One day, as vas receiving my pa
tients in my study, saw tall man
enter. Doctor" he said, Il come to
ask news of the Countess Marie Bara-
now"
''She is beyond hope" reolied. ''She
will never return to Russia"
And this man fell to sobbing: then he
arose and went out staggering like a
drunken man. That same evening |
told the countess that stranger had
been to me to ask after her health. She
seemed touched, and told me the tale /
have just told you. She added
This man. whom do no know, fol-
lows me like my shadow. l meet him
every time l go out. He looks at me
very strangely, but he has never spoken
TO me-"
She reflected, and then added
Look, there he is, below my win
dow"
She rose from her sofa, drew the cur
tains aside, and showed me the man
who had called upon me, sitting on
bench on the promenade, his eyes raised
to the hotel. He saw US, rose and walked
away without once turning his head. So
1t was that took part in strange and
incomprehensible episode-in the love
of these two beings who were quite I'M
known to one another.
He loved with the devotion of
rescued animal, grateful and devoted
me. "How is she?" knowing that / had
guessed. And he wept bitterly when
he had seen her pass, paler and weaker
every day.
She said to me:
Il have spoken but once to this singu-
lar man, and it seems to me have
known him for years."
And when they met she returned his
bow with grave and charming smile.
L knew she was happy-she was lonely
and dying. L knew she was happy to
be loved with such constancy and re-
spect, with this exaggerated poesy, with
this devotion ready for all haZ-
ards. And yet. faithful to her obstinate
though high-minded resolve, she abso-
lutely refused tc receive him, to know
his name or to speak to him. She said,
mo, no, that would spoil our strange
friendship. We must remain strangers
to one another"
As TO him. he was of a certainty
kind of Don QuiXote, for he took no
steps to approach her. He was deter
mined to keep to the letter the absurd
promise he had made to her in the train.
Often during the long hours of weak
Dess she rose from her sofa to draw
back the curtains and look If he were
there below the window. And when
she had seen him, always immovably
seated on his bench, she returned TO her
couch with smile on her lips.
She died one morning about o'clock.
AS | left the hotel he came to me, his
face distorted; he had already heard
the news.
II should like to see her for a second
in your presence" he said.
L took his arm and re-entered the
house.
When he was by the bedside of the
dead he took her hand and kissed it--a
long, long kiss. Then he fed like
madman.-The Strand Magazine.

bloody battle for supremacy. Three
| days were spent in trip up Battle
river, which was found comparatively
! easy of access. The river is 200 feet

oak and elm. 1t has an average depth
of fifteen feet for twelve miles of its
course. and is the largest stream dis

Milk creek, from which the expedi-

has designated the connecting arm of
the north and south halves Of the lake.
This arm is exactly 4,755 feet from
shore TO shore, and this reminds one
that Red lake is the largest lake in Min
neSota, eighteen miles wide and forty
miles long. The country for five miles
each side of Red Lake river is nothing
more or less than a swamp AN immense
bog full of pools, where the deer con-
gregate to drink at shutdown in hun
dredS. Clouds of ducks and other fowl
rose and darkened the sky as the ex-
plorers pushed their way along the
stream, and species OF wild turkey
were found everywhere. Crossing the
isthmuS to the eastern shore of the lake
the journey was continued. On the
eastern side of the dividing channel an
Indian village. populated by about 400
ChippeWaS, was found. They are a
band distinct in themselves. and
all of their time is spent in hunting
and fishing. They proved uninterest-
ing except to the GLOBE man, who.
through an interpreter, held converse
tons with some of their number relative
to the formation OF the upper half of
the lake and the eighty miles of unex-
plored country to the north of their
abiding place. On the north of the up
per lake, they say, there is an immense
tamarac swamp. On The northeast, as
shown in the map, is river 200 feet
wide at its mouth, and with a depth of
20 feet of water for ten miles of its
course. This stream has been named
by the Indians Tamarac river, and an
other fifteen miles southeast has been
called Big Head river. The Indians say
also that there are numerous creeks and
small rivers, besides large stream run
ming into the lake on the north and
three smaller ones on the west shore.
The expedition had been out nearly
month before Battle river, on the north
east shore of the lower lake, was
reached. This river is historic from
the fact that here the Sioux and
Chippewa tribes fought their last

MONEY GALORE /!

With the great crop now
being harvested will come a
great abundance Of money
TO the Northwest. This al
ways means speculation, and
there is nothing OF which our
people are SO fond of as spec
ulating in real estate. With
St. Paul and Minneapolis
growing at their present rate
our real estate is the best
speculation in the country,
and people are finding this
out. After our last boom
many people here and some
elsewhere thought it was the
end Of real estate profits,and
because real estate was dull
for a time that the city was
gone to the bad. But it has
really done better than ever
before. Outsiders have found
this out, and some few peo-
pie here know it. The fool
killer has been around this
year and scared the croakers
away, and this fact. with our
great crops, has started
things on a new boom. Visit
the factories. the wholesale,
merchants, or the retailers
and keep your eyes open, and
you will see this for your
self. Activity in real estate
will follow this, and it has,
in fact, already begun. For
a while you viii not notice
it. But look back a year
from now and you will see
the difference. In a growing
city real estate booms are
like waves in a rising flood.
One comes and peeedes, and
each one that follows goes far
Their than the one before. The
purchases that are being made
show that the wave is COM
ing again. So buy now and
you get the benefit. If you
want a home buy now and
get the benefit OF low prices.
If you want an investment
or a speculation, by all means
buy now.
We are now offering prop
erty at ridieulously low
prices, just to keep the ball
rolling. But we shall raise
them soon. Come and buy
now at your own price. II
you wait you will have to
pay our price, and then you
viii want to be kicked by long-sared
quadruped, and will call on yourself to
do the job. We have The best property

uring place of the present and future,
