That weakness is to be considered the model of all that is proper and conventional, according to the standard of our English cousins. If the Prince of Wales had his hair cut to- day this gentleman would be found in the barber's tomorrow; while the informa- tion that his footwear did not conform to the latest thing in Piccadilly would send him walking on his hands until the terri ble defect had been remedied.
 Not long ago he had a carriage bu;1t after pattern of his own which he de- clared was the only thing fit for a gentle. man to drive in, and which was being used by the aristocracy abroad, to the ex- clusion of all other styles of turnout for road work. When the vehicle was re- ceived it proved to be an affair that looked like cross between a roller-coast- CT and spider threshing machine. paint ed in colors vivid enough to cause anv passing dog a pad attack of nervous pros- tration.

 JOURNAL SCOOP.

LSllcu Dy lHe Nsdll the effect of the news was to cause every office in the City Hall to swarm with re- porters from the scooped papers the next day, in the forlorn hope that something might possibly be found that had been overlooked by their hustling rival
 As District Attorney Barnes was away on a trip in the southern part of the State the supreme authority of the office was represented by his assistant, MT. Hosmer. That gentleman had hardly seated himself in his chair on the morn ing spoken of when his office boy entered with the announcement that waiting without was representative of Mission street publication devoted to fiction, who said he must see the Assistant District Attorney, as he had very important question to put to him which his paper intended publishing exclusively the next day. The scribe was admitted, when the following conversation ensued:
 Good morning, MT. Hosmer. I have come to tell you that red-hot story has been dug up in the Board of Supervis- ors."
 "So I see," said Hosmer.
 'What do you think they will do about it?"
 "I have not the slightest idea"
 Well, what I called to particularly ask was, What will you do if the matter is taken before the Grand Jury?'
 ''Why, I will do what I would in any other case-perform my duty to the best of my ability" replied the Assistant District Attorney.
 "Would you mind putting that on paper?" again queried the visitor. You see my editor told me this time he wanted story based on facts.''
 1T have not the slightest objection to putting my name to such a statement ,' replied MT. Hosmer. Whereupon he did so, and the reporter hurried away with the happy glow of anticipated triumph mantling his features and the light of an exclusive story beaming from his shrewd eyes.

Tuesday, for the purpose Of organic
ing an anti-VanSant move in the Sec
ond Congressional district. He has
sent out notices to Republicans all ov-
or the district, asking them to meet
with him at that time and place. Pass
ing up the question of the unlimited
gall and nerve exhibited in this Sleepy
Eye bunch of egotism it is we'll to OBJ
serve as to just what influences are
behind the anti-VanSant movement in
the district. The Sleepy Eye man
and his friends are bitterly opposed to
the reelection of G. K. Davis for Unit
ed States Senator. VanSant is openly
in favor of the reelection. It is only
natural for the anti-Davis men to be
opposing VanSant. The men engaged
in the antiVanSant movement should
not be afraid to display their real col
ors by coming out against the re-elec-
ton of Senator Davis.

enthusiastic Republican. He has been
tireless in his work for the party. and
if Renville county Republicans should
reward him this year by giving him a
nomination they would give Renville
county a good man in the lower house
of the legislature. With Downing in
the senate and Welsh in the house
Renville county would take step for
ward in the legislative halls.

In Manchuria and all that part of
China adjoining Mongolia there are
thousands of farms devoted exclusively
to dog raising. At each of these estab-
hshments several hundred dogs are
kept, which are killed by strangulation
when they are s months old, usually
toward the middle of winter. At this
time their skin is covered with very fine
hair, and from these skins are made
winter clothes for the inhabitants of the
Celestial empire. The dogs furnishing
these skins are entirely different from
the breed of dogs known here or in Eu-
rope, and their fur is said to be so long
haired and close on account of the ex-
treme cold of that region These fur
dogs constitute the only wealth of this
desolate region, and the only dowry
given to the daughters of these farmers
consists of a number of dogs. The value
of dog is about 90 cents, and, as it
takes eight fur dogs to make a coat,
such an article is rather expensive.
Traffic in dogskins is conferred in large
cities like Moukden and Fuchau,
where they are tanned At the first
named place the amount of dogslins
handled last year represented $500, 000
