Inc editor mad just finished his little
quotation,
Twill soon be time for flowers to blow,
And little birds to sing
And poets to contribute. oh,
a few more odes to Spring!

The editor smiled family. This was one
OF his chief accomplishments.
This is the first one she said:
love to. write about the springtime
sweet,
And how the happy birds the morning
greet,
And how the merry tadpole in the pool
t'risks playfully among the waters cool.
And | could do it now beyond a doubt
If there We're any spring to write about.
I'd love to speak about the balmy air.
And of the sun that makes the daisies
fair
I'd like to mention how the grass doth
And lots of other springtime things, you
know:
But this one fact completely wears me
There isn't any spring to write about.
Taking. isn't it?" she asked. eve
arranged them Systematically. This is
. the next step:'
We've had two days of clear straight
shine,
think I'll write a little line
About the Spring. She cometh dressed
In all her loveliest and best.
Within her new home chirps the wren
(The sky is clouding up againD
But, no! A truce to dreary thought,
Dark winters rage is turned to naught,
The Spring smiles gaily in his face,
she knows that mats! she has s.. won the race.
Great Scott! It's going to rain againD
But perhaps you will like this better.
think it is something after the style of
kipling-nothfng stiff or conventional
about it,
Hurrah, It's Spring;
The birds are on the wing;
The hand-organS sing
And the coalmen bills bring,
Hurrah, It's Spring,
believe It's Spring.
Hurrah. it's Spring!
And the doorbells go ding,
And the carpets dust fling,
And We're all wondering
If it really is Spring. "a
Yes. hurrah, It's Spring,
That is. 157
We believe it is Spring.
How do you like it?" she asked.
The editor did not reply. He was too
full for utterance.
II like this the best of all she con-
tinued, laying her masterpiece upon the
table. The editor read:
AN ODE TO SPRING.
Oh, the Spring, the beautiful Spring
When the cowslips moo and the crickets
sing;
When the watermelons look green and
gay,
And barefoot youngsters have their play.
To come and steal them all away,
Oh what is sweeter than anything?
Why Spring, of course; beautiful Spring.
oh, let me live in the beautiful Spring,
When the heart is free as a bird on the
wing,
When nature waves her emerald hand,
In love and peace o er all the land.
But if tbs doomed that | should die,
And see 10 more the cerulean sky,
If my pale form must soon be hid
Beneath a cold wood coffin lid
Let me 90 where the violet blows,
When on my breast you can plant the
rose,
For death itself no fear can bring
If it comes in the Spring; the beautiful
Spring!

HOLD-UPS ARE BECOMING

somewhat fashionable If a man goes
forth in the evening with Waterbury
watch. three or four plugged nickels in
his pockets. even at the supper hour. he
cometh back with a bruised head, emptv
pockets. and fire in his eyes. He has met
the enemy, and everything he hath is
theirs. This reminds US. that some re-
tailers are treating you very much the
same way. When you go to buy a pair of
shoes they merely ask you the question.
How much do you want to pay?" and
aim to get that much money out of you re-
gardless of what they give in exchange.
If you are one of the victims. would it
not be wise TO take a change of venue
to house where your interests are more
secure?

Recruiting In France.

Chambers Journal.)
Every year about 100000 Frenchmen
reach the age of 20: After the physically
unit and those who are exempt under
any of the other clauses have been weed
ed out. the actual number of men required
to maintain the standard strength of the
army is chosen bx ballot. They spend
three years in the active army. They are
then dismissed from permanent service
and return to civil life. But for the fol-
lowing ten years they are numbered
among the reserve of the active army
They are then drafted into the territorial
army for six years; at the conclusion OF
which they pass into the territorial re-
serve for another six years. Not until
the age of 45 does a Frenchman become
free from all obligation to the military
service; for thirteen years he IS liable to
be called upon to serve either at home or
abroad. and for the following twelve years
to defend his country against invaders.
No exemption can be purchased. Unless
a. conscript is exempt either on the ground
of physique or for family reasons. he is
bound to serve his twenty-five years
Until 1890 there was a class of conscripts
known as "one-year volunteers These
were men of good education, who We're
allowed to purchase their discharge after
one. years service. The extent to which
CONSUMPTION has militarized France may
be gathered from the fact that every
fourth male is serving or has served in
the army.

STREET FAIR MATTERS.
Minutes of Tuesday Nights Executive
Committee Meeting.

The executive committee of the street
fair association held meeting Tuesday
night and listened to reports from the
chairmen of the various committees.
No chairman for the committee ON
sports has been obtained yet, but 1t is
expected to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr.. Wilhartzs resignation soon.
1t was decided to make guaranty OF
not to exceed $50 on costumes for the
burlesque parade. 1t is possible that
a separate subscription will be taken
up for this purpose,
The bicycle parade promises to be a
hummer. Prizes for the best decorated
wheels, ETC., will probably be solicited,
as the street fair association has so
many ways to spend money that it is
short of funds
The premium lists are nearly ready
for the printer and will be gotten out as
soon as possible.

deputized to go to Winona today to see
about the construction of the booths
there, and both took the train this
morning.
Everything is going along smoothly

WANTS LIBERTY.
CYRUS B. Miller Would Like a
Pardon.
Writes TO the County Attorney Asking
Him TO lntercede in
His Behalf.

CyrusB. Miller is tired of remaining In
prison and wants to secure pardon.
seems to think that he has been at Still
water long enough. He is the man who
made his home under the Yaeger school
house and stole school books, clothing,
bicycles and various articles. Miller
was sentenced Nov. 10Th, 1897, to serve
five years in prison, and has now served
less than two years. He has written a
letter to County Attorney Hughes, ask
ing that official to assist him to secure
pardon. Mr.. Hughes believes that Mil
Ter goJ no more than his just deserts
and will make no plea in his behalf.
Miller displayed an unamiable DISPOSE
ton while in the county Jail that will
not help him much now. When he
gets out of Saltwater he has term to
serve out in Nebraska. The letter is as
follows:
saltwater, Mimi, Aug, 10, 1899.
Mr.. Thos. Hughes,
Mankato, MINI.
Kind Sir: The length of my impris
onment there and here amounting to
TWO ears and four months at the next
regular meeting of the board of pardons
in October, and being, believe, all that
can Justly be inflicted upon me for my
offenses, owing to their nature and the
circumstances under which they were
committed and to my endeavors before
and afterwards to gain livelihood,
which must be known to you; and as
pardon at that time would cause my re-
lease in Nebraska to occur in spring at
about the time the weather becomes
settled, which would be of much benefit
to me on account of poor health and my
i'll illness to do anything but farm
work; such being comparatively light
at that time of year; l wish you would
kindly make just consideration of my
case with reference to a pardon at that
time,
AS to form of application of pardon l
suppose any form of request signed by
You, nIr. Severance and others will be
sufficient. And owing to my circum-
stances l must rely upon your kindness
As TO that. l hope to hear favorably
from you soon.
Very truly,

The Character of Judges at Modern Fairs

If the Importance of any great in
dustry is fairly measured by the char
acter and standing of the men who de-
vote their lives to its advancement, the
stock men of the United States have
good reason to be proud of their place
among the dominant industries of the
nation for the majority of all the great
scientists of the world and especially
those of America are studying prob
lens which relate to the health of the
development of desirable and CONNER
cially profitable qualities in the do
nestle animals that are bred by farmers
and stock men. This has not been true
until recent years, but the vast amount
of capital invested in live stock and it's
Importance as an adjunct of the farm
has at last been recognized. The sig
nifcance of this recognition is nowhere
more apparent than in the changes in
the plan of Judging in the show rings
at expositions, fat stock shows and state
fairs. Not many years ago, it was the
custom to select these judges from the
lockers on to award prizes. This was
satisfactory or unsatisfactory according
to the fitness of the men selected, but at
best the judging had no scientific basis,
Recently matters have been improved
by the employment of one expert judge
in each class who is expected to judge
by the score card and to give reasons for
his awards when asked for them, This
plan has made the contests of the show
rings of real interest to men who are
studying breeds and types and has
placed the whole system on a scientific
basis. Now, men of national reputa-
ton are selected as judges and their
work is of so thorough and scientific
character that it commands respect.
An award now has commercial value
as certificate Of real merit. Among
the Judges at the next Minnesota State
Fair as such men as Director G. F.
Curtis and Prof. John A. Craig, of the
Iowa Experiment Station, Prof. Thomas
Shaw, of Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton. Hon. G. B. Dustin, we'll known
breeder of Summer Hill, ILL.,, and Hon.
John Gosling, one of the leading
breeders of Missouri. All these men
have national regulations and the first
three are men, who have devoted their
lives to the study of the science of feed
ing and breeding domestic animals,
with view to ascertain the relation
and importance of heredity, food and
environment.
Ten years ago the accurate and
scientific knowledge which these men
now possess had not been unearthed,
and men of their high standing and
character were not thought to be a
necessity as judges of domestic animals
brought up for comparison in the show
ring. The result of the changes which
have taken place recently is that con-
tests at fairs educate the breeders them
selves, and are thus doing an educa-
tional work of immense value to the
aoricu1tural interests of the cOuntrV
