Toy Battle Ships.

1t was stated some time ago, as many
will remember, that Secretary Herbert,
of the navy, was having models of
American battle ships made as Christ
mcnt caused the secretary no end OF
annoyance, and 1t was promptly denied
SO that it is not always best TO believe
what YOU hear In the case of the st.
Paul & Duluth Railroad there is ample
authority, as the people know it is the
best line to take when travelling be-
tween st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylors
Falls and other Northwestern points,
because they have tried it and SO have
their friends. The Duluth Short Line.
as this route is generally called, is the
peoples popular line because 1t always
has modern equipment and runs its
fast trains at hours convenient to the
business man and the tourist, and
makes close connections at handsome
terminals with trains running to all
points of the compass. Always take
the Duluth Short Line and be with the
crowd. Maps, folders and general in
formation may easily be obtained of
ticket agents or can be lad by applying
direct to W. A. RUSSELL General
Passenger agent, st. Paul, Mimi.

In less than five years the trade of
this store has increased over $50
per cent. A record unparalleled in
the history of the Dry Goods trade
Of the Northwest. Stop a minute
and think what this means. It is
enormous and seems almost incred-
IDLE, but it is a fact that can easily
be substantiated. What has been
the secret of this tremendous sue
cess? straightforward business
methods. truthful statements re-
garding the goods we have to offer,
combined with the best stock in
the Northwest, and the lowest pos
sible prices on reliable goods. and
the fact that any article purchased
here that does not prove satisfac-
tory can always be exchanged for
new goods.

As state after state comes into line
in the matter of abolishing, by legisla-
ton, the apparently useless form of
Three days of grace" the question
has been raised in many mind as to
the origin and supposed meaning of a
custom which is now dying out in the
march of social progress. The Editor
of The Sunday School Times takes up
this subject editorially, IN his issue of
February II, and shows that the Gus
tom dates back not only to early Eng
lish days, but to the very infancy of the
world, and the time of primeval man.

In the Everett News. published at
Everett, Wash, we find the foIlowin 9
sad item, regarding Mr.. Raymond
Moore, well known to many Of our
citizens, who made his home in this
city with his parents for several years,
after which TIE family removed to Du-
luth. Mr. Moore went west a few
years ago, married an accomplished
young woman, and established himself
in fine and growing business. He,
accompanied by his wife, visited the
head of the lakes last summer and sonn
after mis- return west his health began
failing and he has been travelling extern
sively ever since, but from this item we
judge he has been growing worse instead
of better all the time. His wife and
friends have the sympathy of host of
friends here in Superior:
RAYMOND Moore's many friends in
this city will regret to learn that he is
in New York City totally helpless,
physically, being afflicted with some
spinal trouble. He is being treated by
the faculty of Bellevue Medical college,
but they have no hopes of his recovery,
thinking that a stroke of paralysis
will inevitably ensue. His fatherin

L. w. Babcock writes US from
Hoehne that the business of the
Rocky Ford skimming station is
rapidly increasing, but that much
more milk is wanted. If the
farmers tributary to Rocky Ford
will keep on increasing their pat
ronage full grown creamery
ought to be in sight before long.
Mr.. Babcock has orders for more
butter than he can furnish, hence
he wants the Rocky Ford people
to keep on increasing their sales
to Mr.. Thompson.
