A PARTRIDGE BRlNGs LUCK.
Strange Superstition Among the PrImI
tive Folks OF Maine.

tive Folks OF Maine.
In regard to the habit of partridges of
flying into civilization, and popular
superstition regarding them, an Au-
gusta man said to a reporter of the Ban
gor (N1c.) Commercial:
"Onc flew on our premises and was
captured. Then came up the question
whether we should kill the bird or al
low it to live. At that time there was
a general superstition that if part
ridge came to q house where sick per-
son lay, and the bird was killed and the
sick person ate the broth, it would Of
feet cure. There was g girl sick at
our house, and the doctors had given up
her case as hopeless. Some of the fam
ily said kin the partridge and give the
sick girl the broth. But the sick girl
and others were for permitting the
partridge to live. We were equally di-
vided, and agreed to let one of the
neighbors, whom we saw coming to the
house, decide whether the partridge
should be killed or not. He said kill it,
and we did, and the sick girl ate the
broth and got well.'

Origin of tho Mustache.

The mustache Is becoming very fash
ionable in France. Parisians have been
hunting for the origin of the custom of
wearing this adornment and the legend
of most popular acceptance just now
ascribes it to Spain. At a period after
the Moorish invasion, when the Chris
tian and Moslcm population became 80
mixed that it was hard to say which
were Moors and which Spaniards, the
pious Spaniards hit upon the mustache
MS a means of Identification. They per-
rnitted the hair on the upper lip to grow
and also tuft on the under lip, an out
line of the cross being thus formed.
Thus, say the Parisians, the mustachO
became symbol Of liberty, equality
and fratcrnitv.

A lens exposed to the SUMS rays in an op

Bob Dunn is still after State Aud
itor Bierman, and he will yet cause
the defenders of th-t official much
embarrassment. It was an exciting
time in the house when Dunn and
Fleming made their minority report
against Bierman, and the majority of
the committee whitewashed him. The
minority we're certainly correct in
their findings, but a combination OF
three nAuences-Democracy, Mime
apolis and nationality-succeeded in
temporarily protecting Bierman. A
days consideration of the matter
however, convinced the house that ii
had taken a wrong step in the matter,
and at the close of the session a resol-
ution was almost unanimously passed
that fully covered every demand made
by Messrs. Dunn and Fleming.

It was possibly good policy to ram, ,
about the capitol bill during the ,ses-
sion ofthe Legislature, and warn mem
bers that to tie for such measure
would bling condemnation Of the
people; but now that the bill has
passed and the state is assured Of an
appropriate public building, the pub
lie seems to be satisfied Towns
school districts, villages, cities and
counties all provide suitable buildings
for the transaction Of the public bust
ness, and the same public spirit that
endorses that policy locally will GER
tain)y sustain its adoption in the
broader field of state government.
But small percentage of the people
of the state have personal business at
the capitol, and consequently are not
as we'll informed as to the require
ments for it as they are as to the
needs for the local buildings. 1t is
beyond question that a new capitol
building is badly needed by Mime
sofa, and the opposition cnmes from
those people who are not informed as
to the requirments of the state. While
the statement above would indicate
that none familiar with the facts op-
pose the bill, it is true only to the ex-
tent that the informed ones base their
opposition on the assumed fact that
the people in the rural districts do
not want the new capital. 1t is not
their own views they urge, but they
represent the feelings of those who
from their location cannot have
formed correct views on the subject.
The state needs new capitol, and
under the provision of the law will OBJ
tain a God one.

Those oratorical contests are
nuisances and usually end in trouble.
The state contest held in St. Paul a
few weeks ago resulted in the award,
by the judges, of the prize to a young
MI. Hubbell. A Mr.. Pattee was his
competition, and it was at once claimed
by one of thejudges that his markings
were not announced as he intended
and that Pattee would appeal from
the decision. So the wrangle was
carried to the national contest at
Columbus, and there Pattee submitted
his testimony and won. Hubbell
could win on the appeal if his judges
had been willing to perjure them
selves. This is about the same kind
Of a deal Little Falls and Brainerd
had last year. 1t seems that only in
oratorical contests are Judges allowed
to revise their decisions to meet the
interests of their favorites. The local
district, state and national contests
always cause trouble and bad feelings.

Anoka is having trouble with the

tested in the COURTS. The company is
controlled by Sykes, of Minneapolis,
who also controlled the St. Cloud

such poor service that the c~unci]
