DOGS TRICKS.
One That Would Re Amusing IL Tried
Upon Yourself.

Although it is by no means an I'M
common thing to see dogs throw SOM
erset after somerset in stage perform
ances. it is a somewhat remarkable
fact that few people know how such
animals can be taught such a difficult
feat.
Ask a friend how he thinks a dog can
be initiated into the mysteries Of som
erset throwing, and you will receive
some very curious suggestions.
AS there is more han II way Of
cooking a goose. so there is more than
one method Of teaching a dog to throw
somersets. But the most practical and
thorough manner is to fasten a cord
around the body Of the animal. close to
the fore legs. and two people should
hold the ends Of the cord on either side
Of the unfortunate dog. A third party.

is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog springs backward the rope
passing under it's body is jerked up
ward, and, although the first few at
tempts may prove futile. the somerset
is acquired in course of time. An intel
ligent dog soOn sickens OF this order OF
things and throws sOmersets without
the assistance of ropes.
For the sake Of your dog in particu-
lar and your patience and future wei
fare in general, we do not commend
you to teaching your dog to turn SOM
ersets. If. however, you think there
is no harm in it, just get a few friends
to put you through the exercise and
see how you like it. 1t will prove i'm
mensely amHAing-for your friends

And the stars outside. the eyes Of night,

As each throbbing string you pressed,
And l envied so that violin brown
Its precious place OF rest.
Each note was played SO pure. so true.
But full Of sorrow, great and wild,
And. pray. what grief had come TO you.
Then scarcely more than a little child?
Twas the mystic grief that music brings
From a violin's vail TO an organs roll;
Twas that which trembled on those strings
And passed from them to my list ming soul.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The plan Of the
Mazet investigating committee to adj

the appearance Of Richard Croker, who
made a demand to the committee that
he be permitted to give further testi-
mony. Committeeman Hoffman in
sisted that Mr.. Croker be at once per.
mitted to take the stand, but Counsel
Moss insisted that no such privilege be
allowed him and Chairman Mazet de-
clded to hold an extra session SO that
the Tammany chieftain could take the
stand.
In view of Mr.. Cookers recent utter
ances d%enouncing Mr.. Mazet there is
every reason 70 believe his statement on

Recent University Escapade.
MADISON. Wis, Nov. AT the stu
dents convention, held in the library
hall, President Adams spoke on the re-
cent escapade of several hundred stu-
dents indulging in a night-shirt parade
and breaking into the laundry at the
ladies hall and stealing over 200 gar.
ment- belonging to the young ladies.
He said three things ought to be done
in the matter: First, the students
should, by public declaration, express
their opinion in the matter: second. all
the garments stolen should be sent to a
laundry and returned to the ladies' hall:
third, the faculty must show by proper
disciplinary measures its adherence Of
this ignoble affair.
He further said: "The public may
rest assured that the faculty will act
with vigor as 500 as it can have the
facts at its command"

WHAT JUDGE SEVERANCE SAID On
LABOR DAY.

In speaking of plutocracy and combines,
he said:
II haven't the slightest hope that these
evils will ever be remedied. Plutocracy has
its grip on the throat of the country and the
country will never be restored to it's pris-
time condition except by revolution, and
that is not likely to occur. I can now look
with complacency on despotism, for there
Is more genuine liberty in Russia today than
in the United States. An absolute des-
potism is better than republic fallen into
the hands OF plutOcracy. / wish l could say
something hopeful. but 1 can not conscien-
tiously do so. Plutocracy has such an in
sidious way of exercising it's power that it
cannot be combatted. Employees have the
alternative of voting with plutocracy or
starving, and any man will sell his vote
rather than see his family starve; and this
is the reason why plutocracy has its grip on
the threat of the country and is going to
keep it there"
Judge Severance is one of the ablest
and purest men in the state of Min
nesota He is not politician and in
speaking as he did he spoke the honest
convictions Of his heart. And he is

This is another of the results Of

Fifty md-road Populists in Iowa have

ticket in the field. Assistant Republicans
come high, but they have to have 'em.

granting that the mid readers are assist

Very well answered, Boon. 1t is i'm
possible for any political movement to
go into operation in any part OF the
country without helping or hurting the
Republican or Democratic parties. AS

you must break some eggs" and in a

A DEATH-BED REPENTANCE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Tribune will
publish today the following interview with
ex-United States Senator William D. Wash.
burn, of Minnesota:
The present situation, to the good citi-
zen, the good Republican and the man who
loves his country, is really alarming, and
it is more largely owing to the rapid for
nation of what is called the trust than to
any other agency. First, the trust craze
has changed the whole nature of doing
things.
When I was a young mani am now So
Il had the world before me, and there was
an absolutely fair field for me. Take all of
our most successful business men of today
and their experiences were like mine. They
entered the race without handicap and
their ability and their grit and capacity
won. Now this building up of trusts puts
stop to fair and equal opportunity for
young men. The young men Just out of
college has no rule. He cannot begin bust
ness on his own account against organized
capital. He must join the procession. He
must content himself with being a mere
clerk, and the chances are that he will
never get any furthey, because there are SO
many in his class This makes his posi-
ton that OF a poor man. l am sorry for
the young man of today. I have studied
the situation and I am sure Of what l am
saying.
The present Industrial tendency amounts
to almost craze for trusts. There is
hardly anything in the Industrial line thai
has not been tackled by the promoters of
the trusts.
Just at present times are good and
everything Is floating along nicely. When
the collapse comes, as come It must, it
will sweep these trusts to financial ruin.
Take steel rails, for instance. One and
. half years ago, rails Of fSir quality were
being sold at ST ton at q profit Of per-

BRY ANS WHISTLE.

There is no secret about the evil and
unlawful practices of trusts These
practices are of public notoriety, and
on many occasions members of trusts
have under oath admitted them
1t is generally known that trusts con-
troll state and federal legislation, and
thoughtful men regard this as the great
est trust evil. No man of intelligence
today questions this fact. The head of
the Western Union trust. Jay Gould,
before his death, under oath, testified as
follows: I'm a Republican district 1 am
Republican,; in a Democratic district
am Democrat, but everywhere 1 am
an Erie railway man.
Along the same line Bryan, in his
speech before the Chicago trust confer
ence, quotes H. 0. Havemeyer's testi-
mony before senate committee, which
was as follows:
ITO which fund do you contribute In
Massachusetts was asked. ITO the
Republican fund" ITO which fund in
New York p ITO the Democratic fund"

THE TOES FREEZING-THE BLAN-
NET TOO SHORT.

ROCHESTER,, NJ Y, Sept. 18.-The First
National Bank OF Pen Yam was not opened
for business this morning, but instead, this
notice was posted. in ~a~ front window:
Bank closed, pending the arrival of an
examiner
The bank was heavily involved In the
Potter Kinner- Kendall failure of several
years ago and the more recent failures Of
Russell & Burkett and Russell Son. The
capital stock of the bank was $4,000 The
deposits of the bank on December /, 1898,
according to the quarterly statement, were
$241. 845.03. According to the quarterly
statement. the deposits on June 80. 1899,
were 1901 .306.6O. 1t is said that the liabili-
ties will not exceed $50, 900.
Queer that we heard nothing about
these failures, before. THERE'S a regu-
on all over the country, but they make
up for it by Safeguarding Populists
And little items like the following,
from the Minneapolis Tribune, show
how it works:
Dependency over failure to secure regu-
lar employment led J. H. Canton to COM
NIT suicide. He was IS years of age
and lived at 757 Mendoza street, St. Paul
Mrs. Canton had been out during a por-
ton Of Monday evening. The door was
found locked from the inside, and upon
being forced open Canton was found breath
ing hard. Physicians were called but they
were unable to save the aged man. They
diagnosed the case as opium poison, and
this was substantiated when the coroner
found a pill box, which had contained NOR
phfne pills. and had been purchased at Lake
Park, MINI.
Mr. Canton originally came from Pelk-
ingham. Ont, where he was engaged in the
lumber business. Up to two years ago
he was shipping clerk for T. B. Walker,
Crookston. Then he moved to st. Paul.

logic and full meaning will find in that
brief lesson more reason, and a more
exhaustive and all-embracing discus
sion of the money question than they
can find In Coins Financial School. the
Chicago platform and all the pretty
platitudess of Bryan in support Of q
money system bottOmed ON metal. The
only difference between Bryan and the
gold Democrat Is this:
The gold Democrat demands a money
bottomed on gold alone.
Bryan demands a money bottomed on
gold and silver.
Both alike demand q metallic bottom.
