A Horse and a Hobby

'The difference between horse and
a hobby said an old gentleman of
much worldly experience, lis that you
can get off a horse, but you cannot get
off a hobby It is said by some
naturalists, we do not know with how
much truth, that the horse was once a
five-toed animal of great size and terri
flying appearance. In the progress Of
evolution the toes of each foot have
disappeared, or rather been CONSOLE
dated into one. But that was certainly
a long time ago, as for some thousands
of years the horse has been what he is
now, the most useful and handsomest
of mans animal servants. He has his
place in art, song and history, and the
annals of war and the chase would be
incomplete without him. The hobby
is probably not SO ancient as the horse
in it's origin and yet it is almost, if not
quite contemporary with the race of
man. A distinguished alienist has
said that there are no absolutely sane
people-that every one is a little CON-
in some respect. We would not
SANDER our fellow-citizens by imputing
insanity to them, but certainly every
one has his hobby, and delights tc
mount it. The disagreeable feature Of
it is sometimes that the hobby and the
rider are alike tireless, and you CAM
stop them. A partial remedy is tt
select pleasing hobby, not a roaring
kicking, rampageous one. The Bur
lington Route has several hobbies, fas
time, courteous employees, luxurious
accommodations, and safety. A grea
many people like to ride these hobbies
and any who wish to try it can &c
tickets from almost any railroad agent

Haunted by an Advertisement.
Have you ever been haunted by an ad-

Haunted by an Advertisements.
Have you ever been haunted by an adj
vertisement? ..... $3.50. ....~.
I have asked lots Of people that ques-
ton and they nearly all tell me that
they have undergone such an experience
at one time or another. T..
The particular ssad" that haunts me is
one containing the picture of a mans
face. A very insipid face it is, too, with
an absolutely perfect black mustache
attached to it. It has a grewsome effect,
too, as there is no neck visibly attached
to the head, and have often wondered
if it would be possible to cut mans
head off so that none Of the neck would
be left on.
This face persists in getting in front
of me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end Of an
elevated car go in just as soon as am
comfortably seated in a seatI can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it always isabove the
windows directly across the car. If !
open the advertising pages Of a maya
zine that face will be the first thing to
meet my eye. On the street am always
seeing it on the billboards or some ad.
vertising dodger.
You may say that this is all very
easily explained by the fact Of the ad
vertisement being very common one
that everybody would be running
against On the contrary it is rather Of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is
am sure to find it. I don't know what
the article is the face advertises, and
don't want to. only want to be free6
from the nightmare Of that mask. New

senate. Some of the grave sena-
tors seem to have honest doubts
about the constitutionality of such
a law. Others are of the opinion
that if the bill should become a
law it would do away with the
gross earnings taxed. The fears
of the senators are groundless, and
there is no good reason why the
bill should not pass the senate with
the same unanimity it did the
house. The enactment, Of such a
law is Of a great deal more impor-
lance to the people Of northern
Minnesota than whether j ohm Jones
shall take a drink of red liquor be-
hind a screenless door or implanted
window, or whether Jim Smith
shall buy pool on a horse race at
the State fair grounds or in the
Fremont Exchange. The goody-
goody legislators strain at a gnat

the issue, but they do not hesitate
to swallow a camel when the ma:
terial interests of the corporations

STATE CA.PlTOL LETTER
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Feb. 81, 1895

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. p, 1898.
This legislature is making haste
slowly, and perhaps it is just as
well for the State. There are too
many laws on the statute books
already. If fifty per cent Of them
were repealed the State would not
be the loser. In this as in all pre-
yious legislatures half Of the bills
introduced will never see daylight.
Better, far better, that few really
meritorious measures should get
lost in the shuttle than that a mass
of pet hobbies should be enacted
into laws.

I have received letter from an
E'admiring constituent requesting
me to explain why 1 was opposed
to 5000 exemption on personal
property. Let me illustrate why:
The highest tax in the several dis
tricts is the school tax. The aver
age school district is composed of
say twelve sections. The average
school tax for every district in
Mile Laos county is about ID mills.
A certain amount must be raised
on each district, and. it cannot be
raised anywhere else. Is there
any sense in exempting five OF ten
thousand dollars worth Of personal
property, and levying the tax on
the land? If there is any sense in
permitting a rich family Of tax
shirkers of say six persons, each
of whom claim share of the per
sonal property, to escape taxation
under the 5000 exemption and i'm.
pose an outrageous tax on poorer
but more honest neighboring
family? Remember that that local
school tax must be raised within
the circumscribed limit of that
school district. The same rule will
apply to town and county taxes.
A 5000 exemption might to a GER
tain extent benefit the poor man in
the city, but certainly it would not
tighten the burdens Of the farmer.
One hundred dollars exemption is
enough.

A special session Of Congress is looked
for by all Of the best posted among the
public men of the National Capital. It
is first asserted, and apparently on the
very best authority, that Mr.. Cleveland
insists upon clearing the ground for his
administration by a definite settlement
Of the silver question. Those who ought
to be behind the scenes say that he will
not proceed to make any important ap-
pointments until the silver situation is
finally fixed. Again Mr.. Carlisle has
the expert forces Of the Treasury De-
partment already engaged in preparing
the figures for a REIMBURSEMENT of our
tariff laws; and he says to his close
friends that bill for this read ustment
will be ready for action by Congress by
the list Of June.

It is now about as perfectly assured
as itcan be that the Democratic party
will have the next Senate pro bably by
a very narrow majority, but still by a
majority large enough to secure tariff
reform at all events. It is thought to
be wise for the party to entrench their
Democratic position as early as possible
by the enactment Of tariff law and
this will probably be done at the extra
session. FRANK. MEAD. 81

Talking about adjournment, a
resolution has been introduced in
the senate fixing the date at March
21st. I predict that the correct
date will be nearer the 21st of
April. However, I am of the
opinion that the expenses of the
present session will fall from
$4,000 to $4,000 below that of
two years ago.

A LEADING SCHOOL.
The Southern Normal University as
Seen by an American Reporter.
Patronage From Fifteen States, and Its
Reputation Becoming National.
lts Two Years Record Not Equalled by
Any Other Unendowed Institution Of
Learning In the South.

The American has had correspon-
dence from Huntingdon, Tenn, du-
ring the post year, and each COM
municatiOn contained stirring ac-
counts of the Southern Normal Uni
verslty at that place. This week we
have had our reporter give us write
up of the institution from personal
observation. Huntingdon is beautl
full town of over 1000 inhabitants.
1t is situated on the table land just
west of Tennessee River AMI is grow,
ing like a Western city. From the
health record we would infer that
no healthier town IS to be found in
the State. During the two years of
the schools history 1t has lost but
two by death out of an enrolment OF
], ZOO or 200 students. Students
90 there from the mountains of East
Tennessee and from the Mississippi
bottoms, and all alike have robust
and vigorous health. The town has
nearly doubled in population since
the establishment of the university.
The buildings are located on beau
tiful eminence east of the city. The
main building is of brick, four stories
high, containing twenty-eight rooms,
dining hall, recitation rooms, study
rooms, library, special department
rooms, laboratory and magnificent
hall, consisting Of auditorium ana
gallery, and having seating capac-
ity of 200. Four large dormitories,
besides large surban town, are re-
qaired to accommodate the large
number of students who flock to the
institution. The first year BOO stu
dents were enrolled, the second 800,
and next year the faculty expect TO
enroll 1000 or more. Pupils have
been drawn from fifteen States of the
Union, and nearly 100 graduates
have already gone from its halls. In
fact, it is simply wonderful what has
been accomplished in so short a time.
There 10 a faculty of twenty-five in-
structors, operating fifteen depart
ments, as follows: Preparatory, scien-
tific, commercial, classic, teachers,
photography and typewriling, elocu.

THE exposition of Mellow
ell by Taylor, the ex-editor
of the "lamented" Toiler,
will not add to the estimation
of either. Taylor knew of
of the shady acts of Mellow
ell at the time that he was,
as editor of the Toiler, en-
deavoring to land him in the
United States senate. His
charge that the fumes from
the heart of Mcdowell would
corrode the smoke-stacks of
hell, and his plea of ignorance
of the true character of that
Individual with whom he
counseled and communed
with for years, is too weak to
have the desired effect. In
fact, they brand him as being a
willing accompIice with Nc
Dowell that was willing to do
his bidding as long as he was
renumerated for so doing.
The exposure is additional
evidence Of the correctness Of
the views of the vast majority
as to both Mcdowell and
Taylor.
