Rev. Reed said in a recent rmo
"Women cannot depend upon the gen.
crosby of men," If this be so, women
are indeed subject to a hard lot. Every
married woman in the world depends for
her happiness upon the generosity of her
husband. In turn every married man
depends in like name upon the gener-
osity Of his wife. No legislation, no
grants of rights or powers or franchises
can change his.-Denver Mining Journal.

The Normanden,

The Normanden, the leading
Scandinavian paper of North Dako-
"a, has been sold to a syndicate,
headed by Hon. Arne P. Haugen
and Congressman M. N. Johnson.
The price paid for the plant was ten
thousand dollars. The Normanden
did valiant work for the independent
party last fall, and the victory of the
independents is due largely to the
influence Of this paper. It looks
like poor move, on the part of the
independents, to let this influential
nouthpiece of the people slip from
their hands. The independent party
is just as able to buy up plant like
this as any ether party, and now
that their own official organ is about
TO suspend, they will be in poor
shape next campaign unless they
brace up and support their official
paper. Farmers whe belong to the
independent party certainly ought to
contribute towards. the support of
their official paper and not let it die
Tor want of succor.

The Concert.

One hundred and fifty persons attend
ed the concert ut the courthouse last
Saturday evening, tho principal attract
ion being Marion r. Franklin Keller,
a rising soloist of St. Paul. It would
take up too much time to comment on
each selection on the programme, but
taking the concert all through, 1t was
first.class. Our local talent was some
what bslow par on this occasion, for
what reason nobody really knows but
tn. quartette, though Mr.. Bartlett
frankly acknowledged that they did not
sing in their usual fine style, neverthe-
less, the audience appreciated their
singing enough to give them a rousing
encore. Mrs. ]. N. Brown nicely rem.
dered tive readings and Messrs. Homo
and Nelson, with vislins, and Mrs.
Zimmerman as accompanlst on the
piano, furnished seme fine music which
was heartily cncored. Miss Keller, as
a soloist, is u success. She has very
sweet, clear voice. and has a perfect
knowledge of masic. Her selections
were difficult, and a different class OF
music to what Cooperstswn audiences
have been used to, but, nevertheless
her hearers knew good thing when
they heard it, and she vas encored again
and again. She responded with some
light songs. that brought down the
house. Miss Keller has only studied az
q vocalist one year, and she gives
promise of becoming fine singer Hel
voice is as clear as a bell and we feel
we'll repaid for gong to hear her.
