THIS GOAT. SMOKES.

He Prefers Clear Havana, but Comes
Down to Cigarettes if He Has To.
sbillygoat that smokes cigars and
cigarettes, just like man, is in the

9 10 year growth Of horns and whiskers

and odorously from his chin. After

he isSealled, takes his siesta. Unless a
cigarsor cigarette is provided the after
meal enjoyment is all broken up for
Billie, and he beats continually until
provided with a smoke.

no ordinary smoker, nor is he unskilled
in the habit. He is not only connois-
seur Of the best clear Havana goods, but
is an adept at fast putting and graceful
manipulation of the weed while in his
mouth. The smoke is never puffed out
Of his mouth. Billie inhales it and blows
it out. through his nostrils in great
clouds. It is related that he attempted
to make smoke ring once, but in
puckering up his lips swallowed the ci-
gar, blaze and all. He evidently relish
ed the bite as a dainty morsel, for since
that incident he never takes more than
one Or two puffs at cigar or cigarette,
swallows it down, then blows the smoke
out Of his nostrils with the ease and
grace that would put to shame two

SUSPECTED.
NJ ysterious Death OF an Aged
German in Bradford, Isanti
County.
Case Before the Coroner's Jury,
with Evidence Tending to
Criminate the Son.

The town OF Bradford, Isanti county,
has what appears to be case of MUIR
der. On the 23rd of Nov, Wilhelm
Fischer, an old German, was found dead
BY his sons wife and buried without
the attention of thesa;athorities. The
coroner was absent until last week.
Suspicionshad been aroused as to the
cause of5the old mans death, and, upon
the return OF the coroner, a jury was
summoned and the body taken up,
which showed unmistakable evidence
OF violence, there being two gashes on
one of the arms, and marks on the
throat indicating strangling. Snspi-
cion points strongly to the son, Frank
Fischer, who has acted strangely since
the death of his father. The little
cabin in which his father lived has
been overhauled, by him, new ceiling
and new floor have been put in and

stains which were smeared all over
the inside. The testimony before the
coroner's jury will be taken up again
Saturday, when it is probable a fuller
detail Of the affair can be given.
The old man had turned over his prop
erty to his son some years since with
the provision that the son was to care
for the parent in his declining years.
The evidence now given shows they
had considerable trouble, quarrelling
frequently and that the old mans life
was a very unpleasant one. No arrests
have yet been made, such action hav-
ing been deferred awaiting further de-
velopments.

The two largest vessels Of their re-
spective types ever designed for the
American navy are now on the stocks Of
the Cramps shipyard at League island,
Philadelphia. One is battleship to be
called the Iowa. It is of II, 300 tons
displacement. The other is an armored
cruiser to be called the Brooklyn. The
Brooklyn will be q vessel Of 9, 1870 tons,
1000 tons larger than the New York,
which at present is the biggest cruiser
in the American navy. Not till the
summer Of 1896 will the Iowa and
Brooklyn be ready for launching. The
Iowa will not be finished complete till
1896. Two other vessels of the navy are
at the same shipyard the, Indiana and
the Massachusetts, The Indiana will be
ready for her trial trip by next July, it
is believed. The cruiser Minneapolis
has just been completed BY the Cramps,
and she is q beautiful ship, white like

The Rochdale Jubilee.

Fifty years ago, in December, 1914,
% English weaYers met in the town Of
Rochdale and resolved to club their lit
tie spare money together and buy a lot
of groceries Wholesale. Their combined
fund amounted to 81 4o. With this they
laid in supplies by the barrel of sugar,
flour, oatmeal and butter. They brought
their barrels to room and sold the
contents to themselves at retail. Each
paid cash as he went and bought the
goods at the current retail price of the
neighborhood. They had not expected
to make any profit. They had hoped
simply to get better quality of goods,
with better weight and measure.
This was the beginning of the great
Rochdale cooperative store system,
which has revolutionized much of the
trade If Great Britain among the better
class of working people. When the hon
est factory weavers came to cast up &C.
counts, they found there was a hand
some profit for themselves from the re-
tail price the goods had brought.
At Rochdale is celebrated this Decem-
Der the jubilee Of the cooperative store
system. 1t is managed still on lines
similar to those laid down in the begin
ming by the 20 weavers.
Any one who pays an initiation fee
Of SIS may become member and share
in the profits. But now cooperative
stores have sprung up all over Great
Britain. The cooperative stores have
a membership of 1900, 900, and their
capital is not less than 500, 900, 900.
There is great wholesale cooperative
society too.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Respectable Whisky shops.

Sweden and Norway have achieved
them Sweden and Norway that ten
years ago had the name Of being the
most drunken countries in the world.
Now they are models Of sobriety COM
pared to even the United States.
The change has been wrought by the
new liquor law under which city gov
ernment takes charge of the sale Of in
toxicating drinks. In Sweden no man
can make q cent" from liquor selling.
The city government buys at wholesale
liquors Of guaranteed purity, designates
the places at which they shall be sold
and the hours, and then puts man in
charge on a salary. The less whisky
the man sells the more successful he is
considered to be as business man.
He must be one Of the most reputable
citizens Of the town, or he will not be
permitted to have charge Of saloon.
The saloon itself is a plain, four wall
ed room. No pictures decorate it; no
warm stove sends out genial comfort.
There is not even chair to sit down
in. A man may buy whisky by the
drink. He drinks it and is sent off
about his business. He may not have
another drink of spirits under three
hours. The liquor shops are not opened
till s o'clock in the morning. They are
closed at the noon hour and closed at
1880 in the evening in winter and s in
summer. On pay days the saloons are
shut before the workmen get money,
and the day before a holiday they close
at noon. The result is that drunkenness
in Sweden and Norway is decreasing
perceptibly and steadily. -.

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Laws Wanted to Fix Up the Interests of
| Our Public Schools.
| The Educational Association which
closed its labors last week, in St. Paul,
was a thoroughly representative body
there being nearly five hundred edu-
Gators in attendance. The township
system of handling the district schools
met with general approval except IN
the session of the county superintend-
ents, where some opposition presented
itself. Supt. S. S. Parr, of the st.
Cloud schools, presented some strin-
gent ideas that he wants to become a
law for the regulation of attendance at
the public schools. The needs of the
country schools received considerable
attention, and some legislation in their
behalf will be presented to the next
Legislature. Legislation will be asked
for the county uperintendents who are
a hard worked and under-paid class of
officers, especially in the counties apart
from the thickly settled regions of the
State. The Declamatory association
held a meeting for the election of Of
ficers. 2. N. Vaughn, of Anoka, was
chosen president, c. S. Sawyer, of Min
neepolis, secretary. The bylaws were
modified to exclude all from the con-
tests who have received any instruc-
tions outside of their own schools. The
county superintendent at their session
elected officers. County Supt. Barker
was elected secretary for the ensuing
year. In general session, the election
of officers was taken up. Prof. S. A.
Farnsworth, of st. Paul, was elected
president, J. D. Bond, of ST. Paul, Sec
rotary, w. A. Shoemaker, of ST. Cloud,
treasurer. Teachers and members of
the association are united in pronounce
ing the last association the best since
the organization nearly thirty years
ago. Much interest was taken, many
new things were discussed, preparatory
to being enacted into laws. Il is be-
lieved the work started at this session
will eliminate in putting our schools
on the very highest basis Of excellence.

Here are some figures over

The European wire which we

at the Iron Works and shows a

The galvanizing passed through
all the tests it is possible to put
it and shows that it is as near
perfect as it is possible to make
it. The American wire we re-
ceived a week or more ago,
land it is the best to be OBJ
tanned in the States, was tested
at the Iron Works and shows
a tensile strength of about 700
pounds. These figures show
which is the best wire, and
which you should use in build
