WITH last weeks issue, the
MINER opened new year of it's
existence. We are now full leg
al newspaper having complied
with the requirements of the law
in every particular and are now
entitled to publish anything in the
legal line. With our next issue
there will be due us from delin-
quent subscribers, something like
$4,000. This amount is in small
accounts ranging from SOC. to 81
not much for each debtor, but,
figuring quite mite for us. To
all those In arrears, we would re-
spectfully request the payment of
the same as we need the money.
The pleasures of running a news
paper are greatly enhanced by the
prompt paynaet of subscription
accounts. The work is more cas-
lily accomplished and a better
paper is the result. 1t is also a
much easier task for subscribers
to pay when due than it is to pay
six, eight, ten or more dollars all
at once in the years to come. Try
the prompt payment or advance
plan and see if you will not be
benefited. While q country news

recognized as a dollar. Let some
silver man explain it.

WE would like to have some
good Democrat explain for our
benefit the reason why over sixty
OF the Oldest and strongest Demo-
cratic papers in the United States
have bolted the party. The time
worn chestnut that they have been
bought by the goldbugs, won't do.
We want a reason that leaves the
paper with honesty unsoiled.

paper is claimed by many to am
cunt to very little, it is neverthe-
less noticeable fact that, should
the paper accidentally forget to
mention a new baby, visitor, etc.,
at their residence, the editor is
put down as a fool or roasted to
a turn, forgetting all the time that
an editor can not see everything.
The majority of subscribers seem
to imagine that ''my two dollars
won't help the paper much, and
I'll pay it sometime" Pay it i'm
mediately and see if it don't help.
While it is standing joke, IAN
editor is as poor as Jobs turkey
it is nevertheless a regretable
feature Of the business.

Hon. PAGE MORRIS, the next
congressman from this district,
is the recipient of appreciative
ovations at all places and at all
times. The people recognize in
him a man of sterling worth and
ability to fttingly represent the
district. His election is almost
an assured fact. Almost all the
counties in the Sixth district have
given vent to their approval of
Judge Morris nomination.
TOMORROW the Republican
county convention takes place in
Duluth. We sincerely hope it
may prove profitable to all the
Republican candidates now in the
field. There will be many who
will seek the favor of a nomina-
ton at the hands of the conven-
ton tomorrow. Several will be
disappointed.
If the simple act of the govern
ment placing it's stamp on a peice
of metal will make it legal ten
der for the amount indicated, as
claimed by some people, why was
the trade dollar, the best silver
dollar ever coined by the United
States, discounted to its metal val
lie as soon as its coinage was dis
continued. It Still retained The

All En- plOyctl.

A few evenings since Mr.. Cromme
was telling Of some of his experiences
as county superintendent of schools
IN northwestern Minnesota, where a
fourth OF a township is a school dis
trlct. On tour of inspection he found
one district that had only one family
living in it. and the head of the family
was homesteader who was not re-
qulred to pay taxes. He was of course.
the school director of that district. The
other lands in the district were owned
by spectators who lived in st. Paul
and elsewhere and paid the taxes.
The wife of the homesteader was
drawing from the county $40 per month
as school teacher, and her only pupils
were her own two children. Being
asked who appointed her she replied.
The school director" and being asked
who he was she replied: My husband"
The husband and wife, school direct
or and school teacher, were Norwe
gians, and yet there are persons who
think that foreigners do not "catch on"
to our systems as rapidly as they
should.

One OF Eugene Fields Jokes.

One of the many stories which are
told about the late Eugene Field is of
a little joke he had at his wife's ex-
pense. They had entered a street car,
to find all the seats taken, save one at
each end of the car, and they seated
themselves accordingly. When the
conductor collected the fares Mr.. Field
announced in audible tones, as he gave
him dime, at the same time pointing
to the far end of the car: This is to
pay the fare of the lady over there
the one wearing the new, beautiful.
brown silk dress" All eyes were
turned to her and her pretty face took
a most becoming rose color, but back
of the reproving glance she threw at
him was one of mingled indulgence, APP
probation and mirth at the unexpected
and apparently truthful announcement.

Comradeship Between Dog and Goose.
A dog and a goose on one occasion be-
came fast friends, but the goose seems
to have made the first advance If the
dog barked the goose would cackle and
endeavor to bite any person she sup
posed the dog to be barking at. She
would not roost in the usual way, but
ran about the yard with the dog all
night, and even when he went about the
nelghborhOOd the goose accompanied
him, running and flying in order to keep
pace with him.
What is very strange, however, when
the dog was i'll the goose would not
leave him for single moment, so food
had to be placed in the kennel for both
of them. This affection is supposed to
have had its origin in the dog saving
the goose from fox.
In another case dog tried to console
herself for the loss of her family by
adopting brood of ducklings. When
her little ones were taken from her she
was quite disconsolate. until she fell
in with the ducklings. These she treat
ed in the most affectionate manner and
exhibited the greatest concern when
they naturally took to the water. When
they came to land the dog seized them
in her mouth and carried them home.
Strange to say, when robbed of her
family she took charge of two cock
chickens, which she reared with great
attention. When they began to crow
she was evidently much annoyed and
endeavored to suppress their noise
