A COUNTRY DANCE.
The FrOIIcs of the 'sRed Bird" and

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

The red bird balance and the black
bird swing; blue jay in the middle and
tothers in a ring"
Ra-ta-ta-ta-raraw
The old darkey in the corner bobs his
grey head and stomps his foot and saws
away on three strings Of a cracked fiddle.
The small man with a big voice stands on
a chair and shouts the quaint calls OF
the backwoods dance. The "Red Bird
is the pretty blonde with glowing cheeks
and bright magenta dress. The country
"quadrille caller is permitted consider
able poeucal license and indicates the diff
ferent dancers by allusion to their pecu-
liarlties of dress or their physical, men,

lusions however. are almost Invariably
complimentary and with a touch of rude
poetry in them.
There's many a man who has achieved

dimes and dances with the Four Hundred

And how they did dance In those good
old daysl There were no evening dresses

but fun-there were wagon loads Of it.
The Blue jay" was a blue Jay" be-
cause he wore an old army uniform of

LOST ron 1000 YEARS.
A Great Find Of the HigbIy-PrIzed
ThcsHnlinn Marble.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The quarres from which the ancients
obtained their highly-prized Thessallan

are again being worked by an English
company. The quarries, which have been
lost for more than 1000 years, are In the
nelehborhood of Larissa, In Thessaiy.
Greece. The ancient workings are very
extensive. there being no fewer than ten
quarrics, each producing a somewhat lif-
ferent description Of marble, proving
without a doubt that every variety or
this marble found In the ruined palaces
and churches Of Rome and Constantine
plef and likewise in all the mosques and
museums Of the world came originally
from these quarries. In fact, the very
quarry from which the famous monollths
OF ST. Sophia, Constantinople, were OBJ
talned can be identified with absolute
certainty by the matrices from which
they were extracted.
In modern times yerd antlco marble

ton OF some ancient work, ana II has,
naturally, commanded extraordinarily
high prices As O consequence, number
Of ordinary modern greens Of Greek,

been described and sold as vord antique

acquainted with the distinctive charac-
ter OF the genuine material could be- de-

A GOOD suggestion comes from Mon
days Pioneer Press. AS the Fourth
this year falls on Sunday it recon-
mends that the churches be decorated
with flags and flowers, let patriotic
airs take the place of hymns, bands be
pressed into service and the day be
wholly devoted to patriotism. "Ameri-
can liberty had it's birth in the
churches of the old thirteen colonies.
The churches of old New England
we're the rallying places of the Revo-
lutionary patriots. Of late years the
churches have to a great degree segre-
gated themselves from the purposes of
citizenship and patriotism; and the
segregation has not been good for the
country. Neither has it been good for
the churches. The Christian Citizen
ship leagues recognize this fact, and
would bring the churches again into
harmony with the best aspirations o.
citizenship. The Sunday Fourth o.
July affords splendid opportunity fol
proclaiming the Identification O
Christian citizenship with every
patriotic purpose, and it should not b,
neglected"

FRANK DAY: Gov. Clough's action
in refusing to obey a summons of the
grand jury of Hennepin county, while
receiving great deal honest criticism,
it seems to US entirely justifable. The
idea that the chief executive officer of
a great commonwealth should be sub
ject to the beck and call, the whims
and prejudices of a small body of men
clothed by accident with little brief
authority, is manifest absurdity. If
the Hennepin county jury can COM
mand the person of the governor a
Martin county jury can exercise the
same authority and thus it would be
possible to keep a man who, by virtue
of his position, is the first citizen Of
the state, running about over hillside
and valley, across the fertile prairies
of southwestern Minnesota, through
the tamarack swamps of the north
land, and at time when his august
presence was imperatively demanded
at the seat of government. Gov.
Clough has expressed his willingness
to expose the desired papers in his
possession to the proper authorities in
his office, and it seems to US this is all
that can be legitimately required Of
him. In ignoring the mandate of the
Hennepin jurymen Gov. Clough has
sustained the dignity of his Office anC
set a precedent which will be recog
nized as authority for all time to come

THE Wilmar Tribune pays the fol-
lowing we'll deserved compliment to
Knute Nelson: eve have watched
Senator Nelson's career for the last
twenty years. We have always ad-
mired his ability, never doubted his
honesty, but have disagreed with him,
and opposed him in 1894 for governor.
But his course in the senate has de-
monstraUed to US that he is as true to
the common people now as he was, in
1883, when he was the idol of the COM
mon people of Minnesota. His politi-
cal career has undoubtedly been
guided by tact and expediency, but he
never would have been where he is
without this. He has fought himself
to the front over the corpses of politi-
cal freebooters, and at times he has
travelled in disguise to escape the as
sassin s stilletto. This proves genius
and generalship. Most of our great
patriots of the day have failed to come
to the front for want of this quality of
mind. But it is our duty TO look on
and educate the public to recognize
and point out the true, patriotic states
man, and it is the duty of the people,
if they want redress of existing
wrongs, to stand by those who fight
their battles, let them wear whatever

AFTER all the stir that was oc-
casioned by the discovery that the Of
ticials of one of the hospitals of the
State had been placing orders for pro-
visions with outside firms, it does seem
as though the capitol commission
would be chary of butting their heads
against the stone wall of public opin-
ion. The people want Minnesota stone
used in the construction of the new
capitol. Can the commission discover
any good reason why it should not
heed the demand?
