Reform That Will Reform.

n wave of reform in the police re-
gulations Of the city swept over the
council on Monday evening, when
the council adopted a resolution di-
recting the mayor to strictly enforce
the state law in regard to closing
saloons and gambling. This was
done in response to a monster petit
tion to that body requesting such
action. The council also authorized
Mayor Hemstead to appoint as many
officers as he sees fit in order to com.
ply with their instructions The
mayor on being asked if he would do
as directed by the council, stated
that he certainly would strictly en-.
force the law if the council did not
recede from it's position at the
special meeting tomorrow evening"
He had no desire to buck the council
If they want the city run on puri.
tanical p rinciples, he would close the
saloons at II p. m. and on Sundays
stop all gambling Of every kind and
close the sporting houses and drive
the inmates out of the city. He
doubted the financial wisdom Ofsuch
a course, however, as he insisted it
would drive thousands of dollars
of legitimate trade with lumberme1l
out of the city. He would show
them, however, that he vas not
dominated by the saloons, as had
been charged, and it would not be
for Il day, but while he was in
auth ority. Unless somebody
changes his mind in regard to this
matter, it looks as though we were
going to have reform with a big

J. w. Wards Shoes.

Everybody knows J. w. Ward, the
genial and accommodating station
agent at Little Falls. On account of
his many admirable qualities of mind
and heart he has endeared himself to
the people of that burg and to others
who come in contact with him in a
business or social way. There is one
popularity of his physical makeup
which never fails to attract attention
even il the traits of character before
mentioned are something overlooked,
his abnormally large feet. That
they arc Il continual source of an
noyancC to him and his associates is
manifest to all. Always pushing
themselves forward and trespassing
upon the rights and real estate of
Others, they stand in constant dan
ger OF being indicted as public nui-
sances. One Of the heaviest bills of
expense in the Ward household is
furnishing proper eather coverings
for the head of the family's feet.
Last fall Mr.. Ward decided that he
needed new pair of shoes and
awarded the contract of construct
ing them to local shoemaker
That individual, after keepinga twin
city tannery busy for several weeks
preparing the material, and a score
or more of workmen employed sew
eral months in their manufacture,
has at last turned out pair of shoes
which Mr.. Ward pronounces beauties
and a perfect fit. They were turned
over to him. last Saturday and he
was considerable elated over receiv-
ing them and no wonder, as since his
old ones were thrown aside, some
three weeks ago, he has been wear
ing couple OF condemned box-cars.
He recently had his feet surveyed
and they footed up two acres and
several out-lots. They are still
growing.-Royalton Banner.

French Courtesy.

''Not being of that noble company
who come abroad to lie about their ma
tive country, have had no reason for
refusing to see things which are better
done in France than in America. And
ono thing the French do better than we
is-thev behave themselves better in
public" writes Ida M. Tarbell in the
Boston Globe.
She finds there is among the poorest
laboring people of France a kndliness
and courtesy that gild their rough path
with sunshine and make foreigner
marvel. The French love children; they
like to see everybody about them sunny
and happy; therefore they take every
means to make everybody happy. In
the very shops the children who come
on errands are treated with tender po-
liteness. France must be the paradise of
little children.
The writer finds the French really
more interested in others welfare than
the people of our nation are. Once she
dropped coin between the Stats upon
the floor of Paris omnibus. She could
not pick it up with her gloved hand easi-
ly. Seeing this, a French working wom-
an sprang to the rescue instantly and
fished the money up with her ungloved
hand. The common people make way
for one another, bow to one another and
treat one another constantly with all the
courtesy we are accustomed in this coun-
try to see only among the best bred peo-
pie in parlor. One thing-handshak-
ing-is overdone in France. It is car
ried to the extent of being a nuisance.
But if we could engraft upon our CON-
mon, everyday manners this courtesy and
kindliness without the handshaking,
what a delightful country ours would be!
The pretty phrases Of politeness, defer
ence and good will which most people
save for social gatherings are on the lips
of the French people, even of the poor
est class, constantly. They have no
warmer hearts than Americans, but say
what you will, the expression of our
friendliness and good wishes is what all
people want It makes life better worth
living.

A SeaSOnable Psalm. .

The Minneapolis Journal of Friday
contains the following which will be
appreciated by most of the people OF
the Northwest:
l. Man that is born of woman
(and most men are) is of few days
and are full of trouble
l. In the morning he goeth forth
rejoicing; in the evening he returneth
with sore spot.
8. For at the window of my house
look through my easement and be-
held the simple ones. I discerned
among the youths young man
void of understanding.
4. And behold there met him a
sidewalk in the attire OF a skating
park. 1t was subsoil at heart, hard
and stubborn, and his feet would
not abide in their place.
5. Now is he in the streets and
lieth in weight at the corner.
6. And his roar is like unto the
roar OF the bull, yea, the wild bull OF
Bashan. And his language is that
OF strong man with the rheuma-
tism.
Z. His voice is the voice of many
waters-mostly tirewaters.
8. He talketh aloud and sayeth OF
the city father and of the street COM
missioner, AHA! aha!' He calletll
upon them togo to.
8. Once l was young, but now l
am old, but have seen the righteous
forsaken and his seed shifting their
ballast.
10. Blessed is the man who keep
eth in the middle of the road, whose
feet are shod with spikes and whose
agility is like unto that of the young
hind: Selah.

Educational EaddiStS.

There is war in Chicago. It is between
the faddists and antifaddists in the pub
lie schools. There were members of the
board of education who wanted to make
elegant kid glove aesthetics out of every
son and daughter of Chicago. Music.
German, modelling in clay, painting and
high art physical culture were to be su-
perimposed upon the solid foundation
formed by pork and beer. The faddists
progressed swimmingly until the child
Of every man who worked in a pork
packing establishments in Chicago threat
ened to become a greenery- gallery poet
or an Oscar Wilde.
Then suddenly. as it were, Chicago
rose and squealed. There was an indig-
nation meeting of those who had no fads
in their rude souls They would not
stand the high art business because in
learning fads the young ones learned
neither arithmetic, writing nor spelling.
Elegant ladies, bless their souls! Kissed
savagely the common orators who placed
the coarse fact before the public, but it
did not fail. The kick of the antifaddists
threatens culture in Chicago.
Some of the coarse facts in the case
laid before the public by one speaker
are reported as follows in the Chicago
Tribune:
A woman from the stockyards said: MY boy
can get all the mud he wants in my back yard.
What he wants Is to know how to figure so he
can get job in Posein's grocery" What good
does it do a lad if he can draw house or con-
struct mud castle if he can't tell what nine
pounds Of liver at 4 cents pound come tor l
have at my Office boxes full of drawings of pigs
and other things made by children who don't
know whether New Jersey is a state or a city.
The teachers in your schools are loudest in
their complaints. The principals have to bow
to these special teachers. Nothing can abate
the zeal of a back action centrifugal movement

The sensation Of statesman suddenly
out of job must at first be rather
queer one. From having invitations to
dinner, cards sent to him, railroad passes
thrust upon him and Difference shown
him by all Office boys, clerks and colored
porters, he finds himself leveled in a
night to the plane Of a common citizen,
with none to look up to him. If he is
intrinsically great man, he picks up
and goes on again and regains his place
whether he is in Office or out of it. But
if he is a little man it is only the Office
which makes him great, and he is nobody
ever again.
