PREACHING VS.. PRA CTICE.
From Lac Qui Parle County Vidette:
While in Jerusalem recently Kaiser
Wilhelm on one occasion said in his
own impressive way: "From this
place has emanated the force that has
regenerated the world. Let it en-
courage us all to increased christian
patience and love- Meanwhile his
representative at home was busy driv-
ing the Danes out of their own country
bec1dse they don't germanize fast
enough.

Our friend, Mr.. o. E. Lofthus, who
has for several years been resident
of Morris, has entered a partnership
and will engage in the hardware bust
ness at Hillsboro, N. Oak. Mr.. Loft
hus will be greatly missed not only in
Stevens county, but in the state, where
he has an extensive acquaintance
among the adherents Of the political
reform forces. Mr.. Lofthus was edu-
Gated at the Willmar Seminary We
wish him success in his new venture.

BRO. LAMPHERE'S MODESTY.
From the Moorhead News:
Bobb Dunn received his opponent at
the recent election very kindly while
in St. Paul. He joked us about those
1852 votes returned from Brown
county for 'John N. Lamphere'' and
said that if we had come that near of
election he would have made no claim.
Bob Dunn is not the worst man in the
state, and with one exception makes
as good a state auditor as could be
found

The Fairmont Sentinel says repub-
lican papers are holding their breath
waiting for Gov. Lind to make some
small mistake SO that they may give
vent to howl. We suggest hat some
of them couldn't hold themselves long
enough, and so howled anyway.

VISA VERSA.
From the Moorhead News:
St. Paul Dispatch: Every time a
man rises in the world he gives pang
OF regret to some woman who might
have had him if she had only known.
And on the contrary every time a
man fails he gives a. pang of regret to
a confiding woman whom he has sworn
to cherish, love and protect, if mar
ried, and if single, he gives a thrill Of
Joy and gratitude to some woman who
has escaped having him.
A PRETTY GOOD COMBINATION
From Lac Qul Parle co. Vldette:
Who is this Tuve, anyhow? Well,
he is fellow about thirty years old,
half Swede, half Norwegian and full
blooded American. It is the Ameri-
can, or whole part of him, that is the
editor of this paper, with the Nor
weigan and Swede as valuable assist
ants.

It is amusing to note the laborious
attempts of the republican press to
find a difference in Gov. Limbs
speeches before election and his mes
sage to the Legislature. The differ
ence is with themselves. Before cleo
ton they wouldn't listen to John be-
cause--:well because they wouldn't.
and now they couldn't help but see
the common sense in his talking be-
cause everybody was giving him a
respectful hearing. See?

A STORY ON sCHLEY.
''Even heroes get UPSET. says the
Philadelphia Press. "Admiral Sch]ey,
night before last, was the guest Of a
large part of Philadelphia-of as much
of it as could fill one of it's heaters.
He sat in a box with the handsome and
benignant Col. Mcclure, and every
he made was watched hy
the thousands in the place. II he took
q glass of water they applauded. If
he bowed to ali acquaintance they ap-
plauded. 1.-The smiled they applauded.
In fact, the whole evening was an in
