IT is reported that our esteemed
young friend, Professor Andrus, county
superintendent, who hangs on to Corky
Patterson's coat-tails and says "Streeter
is a dimmycrat," is opposing Miss
Bates in the interest of Mrs. Eisen-
huth for state superintendent Of public
instruction. The reason is said to be
that, once upon a time, at an insti-
tute, candy" was troubled with collie,
and the democratic nominee came to
the rescue with dose of soothing
sirup.

THE editor of our windy contemporary
at Winona had series of spasms last
week over the notched-stick episode Of
two years ago. The Times is hard up for
material to use against the editor of the
Record when it speaks of the notched
sticks. AS matter Of fact, the notched
sticks violated no law, because there is
no provision preventing the voter from
taking stick, or cane, or tape meas
ure, into the booth with him If he wants
to. The secrecy of the ballot, as referred
to by the Times, was not interfered with
in any way, because the use Of the stick
by the voter was entirely optional, and
no one but the voter knew whether he
had used it or not The Times people
should remember that the stick was used
to aid -Euglish-readinx voters in
casting their ballots for candidate they
wanted to vote for, and not for the pur-
pose of misleading them to vote for
some candidate they did not want. When
the canvassing board was considering the
question of throwing out Selz precinct,
the notched-stick matter came up, and
one of the board--one who voted for
throwing out the precinct-said. "The
notched sticks cut no figure in the case"
If the Times folks can find reputable
lawyer on the Missouri Slope who will
say that the notched sticks were illegal,
we will print the opinion, with dis
play head over it, on the first page of
the fsscoEtss The difference between the
notched sticks and vsn Bssk,a st.emntcd
vote buying was that the frst were n.
tended to aid the citizen In casting his
ballot for the man Of his choice, and the
latter was for the purpose Of buying
men to vote for candidates that, without
such buying. they did not want. That's
all there is to the notched-stick matter.

Which was, to say the least, showing
extreme consideration for man who
is not citizen. Is it strange that the
mass of republican voters of this county
are disgusted with the whole business?

Dave was becoming weak and faint

I,e feared that the dugong. when 1t
res Jhed the deeper water ahead would

Presently the dugong, as if con-

commenced to swim to and fro in zig.

plunging springing, bending itself al
most double and beating the sea to

quickly receding from Little Jack, be-

it, and Dave was dragged under the
water, which was here about thirty
feet deep
AS he was drawn down strange
sights met his vision there in the

weeds, waving their long, dropping
tbers, which, illumined by faint
light from above, looked like silver
threads. As he sank among these

evil and staring, seemed To glare at
him from the multitude of little crea-
tures-the cephalates that clung to
the holes in the tall, porous rock from
which the weeds hung. But the
dugong's downward speed after the
line became taut had been somewhat
checked by the resistance of the over
turned canoe, which it had also drawn
with it, and which, as the rope was
fastened to the middle thwart Iseatl,
had operated as a sort of drag. This
would enable Jack. who had dived
after Dave, to reach him in about ten
seconds
The kanaka. as already implied, was
''at home" in the water. Down went
his agile form, sliding as easily as a

one stroke of his keen blade he cut
the line that held his friend. He soon
rose to the surface with the gasping
lad, and, still supporting him, he

his rescuer, he was recovering from

KITCHEN HINTS,
a Variety of Useful Suggestions That
Might Well BE Adopted.

hiShu wen Be adopted.
A useful chatelainc for kitchen wear
is composed of a tape tied to the apron
string, at the end Of which is a holder.
This saves the recording angel much
labor in putting down records of impa-
tience. Another ornament for the
chatelaine is pad of paper or Il small
note book with pencil, on which to iot
down the things to get at market, or
any items which occur to the house
mother and which are liable to be for
gotten.
\ strip of tin with handles will be
found just the thing on which to place
fish to bake. With this the fish can be
removed to the platter without a break.
Any tinman can make one of di-
mensions to suit the family baking
pan. When the tinman makes that, it
might be well to get him to make
cream whip. 1t is made on the plan of
an Old-fashioned daSher. There should
be cylinder of tin two inches in di-
ameter, perforated around the bottom:
the piece which is to act as dasher
must be enough smaller to work easily
up and down. The Spaniards use
something similar to this to beat choco-
late to a froth.
Another kitchen convenience is a
dish drainer. The originator of this
has never patented it, though it is
worthy of that. 1t is made in the
shape of colander, but as large as a
dishpan. At an inch from the bottom
there is rim which supports a remova-
BILE bottom of tin. which is perforated
with holes The solid bottom under
this has a drain pipe through which
the rinse water runs. Dishes placed in
this and allowed three minutes rinsing
under hot water faucet will need no
wiping, and will shine with cleanli-
ness. The sides are solid and have
handles.
If you have not the improved coffee
pot but like your coffee filtered. have a
ring made which will tit the top of your
old-fashioned cotfeepot and to this sew
a bag of cheese cloth. Pour boiling
water on the grounds in the bag. If
yOu like your coffee strong, turn the
water through it two or three times.
1t makes delicious and healthful
coffee
1t is a good plan to have supply of
kitchen bags. The bag in which jellies
drain should be used for nothing else
Bags for straining various cooked arti-
cles are as serviceablc as wire strainerS.
and, if made to hang, have some points
of convenience which they lack, as one
who has used both will acknowledge.
The handy man of the house made
"a housewives comfort" which any
housewife will admit is properly named
1t is collection of drawers made fast
to the wall above the kitchen table
The top supplies a shelf for the kitchen
account book, scrap book and cook
book. There are three rows of drawers
with three in row, and two as long
as the row of three. The small drawers
are lined with tin to make them close
and to keep the wood from taking the
strength from the contents. These hold
spices, soda. cream of tartar and baking
powder. The large ones are devoted to
measuring spoons, etc, and to what
ever use the needs of the kitchen
worker require. Only one who has had
such an article realizes how great a
convenience and time saver it is.
