The story Of the recovery Of $685.
600, stolen from Nelson's Bank Of
Winnipeg last September, reads like
a romance. At the time of the rob-
berry it was a mystery. A key and
five combinations, no two OF which
were known to any one person, pro-
tected the money. Yet without vio-
lence to the safe the money was
gone. Almost every employe was
looked upon with more or less sus-
picion. An amateur detective nam
ed Davis came from the east, OBJ
tanned a clerkship in a Winnipeg
store, got boarding at the same
place as one OF the bank clerks, made
friends with him and watched him.
This week, after almost a years
time, he saw the former bank clerk
go one evening to the river bank I'M
der the trees near the bridge and dig
up a buried valise. Next day the
detective and witnesses went to the
spot, dug up the valise and recover
ed all the money. The clerk is under
arrest. The detective will get $1O,-
600 reward offered by the bank.

Among the Blueb berries.
BY BOB b;

To pass away a week or a fort
night in Wadena and Cass counties
in the BURBERRY season, is no great
feat. The days. even though at
their longest, seem to be altogether
too short for one to get all the en-
joyment which the kind people and
the scenic, almost wild country, find
SO natural to distribute with a free
hand. Sports common to Warren
ties and Vikings, will. however, not
be mentioned here. Picking blueber-
ries is more or less sport according
to the taste and method of the pick
er. Some settlers in this country,
who have small grain fields, depend
largely on tile BURBERRY crop for an
income, and must necessarily con-
slider the picking Of them as work.
Others, especially those coming from
a distance, engage in the gathering
of the berries as recreation. and thus
find no trouble in declaring that
they had 'treal fun while picking.
The right person in the right place
SuOulu SaGIleF TON one TO TWO
bushels per day. But as SO many
are engaged in this pursuit, it is not
always possible to find good patches
to pick from.
The price OF the berries, when sold
by the pickers, generally range from
$1.5O to $500, according to the
abundance or scarcity of them dur
ing the seasons

If Congressman McCleary could

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.

1t is good news that comes from the
Philippines that Gen. Luna, the COM
mauder of the insurgent army, has sent
to Gen. Macarthur a flag of truce. 1t
signifies. probably, that Gen. Lawton' Is
flank movement was successful, that the
insurgents retreat is out of, and that
there is every prospect that the entire in
surgent army will be captured. If this
turns out to be thercase 1t will give great
satisfaction in this country. because il
will mean the ending of an active warfare
which was distasteful to, 1.-The American
people, although it was thrust upon them
by the insurgents themselves. There has
been great danger that operations against
the insurgent army would have TO be sus-

before it was thoroughly defeated, and
that the campaign would have to be car

of the national government to punish
the Georgia lynchers pointed out what is
the strange truth that the Only place in
the world the United States government
is unable to afford one of its citizens
protection is with in its own borders. As
u matter of fact. we can give the Filipi-
nos stronger guarantees of protection
than the negroes OF the South. Indeed
we can give the latter none at all that we
can fulfill. We promised the negro political
rights, but rs has none. We promised
him the protection OF the courts of justice.
He has none whatever. He lis entirely at
the mercy of the whites of the state in

interfere. If he attempts to vote the
whites can force him to desist without
fear of punishment.

A book that tends to popularize the
study of history, especially with the
young, is always welcome. There will
probably never be too many of them, and
at present there are not nearly enough.
1t is useless, except in very rare cases, to
put into the hands Of the young, or even
person of mature age unless he Is u
good deal of student, elaborate critica /
histories of many volumes, with the ex-
pectation that they will derive any real
profit from them. Food for the mind
must be adapted to the minds capacity,
just as food for the body. 1t may con
tain nutritious elements in abundance.
but unless they are in form that can be
assimilated it 10 worse than useless.
Cramming child or q mature person
with historical facts and dates Is not
teaching him history. To learn history
Alright the mind must be interested. II
is one of the great merits Of Mrs. Clifford &
book that its historical facts have an at
tractive setting. 1t was evidently prepared
with special reference to the requirements
of the general reader, and it is adj
mirably adapted to that end. 1t Is some
thing more than an outline of the salient
features in the progress of the German
nation from barbarism TO enlightenment,
from confederacy of loosely allied states,
to a strongly Gem ented empire. Legend
and anecf.ote have been skilfully woven
Into the story, we get vivid glimpses OF
the national life, and clear insight into
the national character. 1t is as readable
thor has spared no pains to make it an
accurate and faithful record of German
progress. Many original sources of in
formation have been at her disposal and
she has had the great advantage Of per
sonal relations with many German peo-
Pile at their homes, which have aided
her much in Interpreting the principles
and motives that have inspired German
action. 1t was a difficult task she Lad
before her, of oondensing within the
limits of COO page volume, twelve hun
dred years of nations growth. There
was danger on the one hand of making
the volume little more than chronology

quacy. The success with which she has
avoided both dangers attests a tine sense
of proportion, discriminating Judgment.
and much literary skill. While the book
has, perhaps, special merit for supple
mentary reading in the schools, 1t will
prove scarcely less useful to the general
reader who will lind within its covers an
accurate. spirited and graceful narrative
of the wonderful evolution of one of the
greatest, most powerful, and most en-
| lightened of the nations of today. The
book is provided with good index and
contains many fine illustrations.

But the capture Of the insursent army

AS State Assessor Pottle says in his
statement printed elsewhere, 1t is useless
to expect much reduction of taxation il
state expenditures are to continue to in
crease. The first essential OF low tax
rate is economical expenditure. But there
is another question and that is equality
Of taxation. The complaint is not only
that our tax rate is high, but that our
system of taxation is so arranged that it
does not bear equally ON all classes of
property That trouble cannot be- rene
u ID by reducing the tax rate through
re luctiuu of expenditure. The only. cure
for that is in Encouragement Of our sys-
tenn of taxation.

PUZZLING ELECTRIC TERMS
This Electrician Thinks They Are JUS
Too simple for Anything.
est. Louis Globs- Democrat

(St. Louis GloDe democrat.
A consulting engineer, who was ask ed
to put one Of the less common electrical
terms in plain language. said: II am
frequently resorted 10 for such explana-
tions, and nothing surprises me more
than the haziness which still exists in
the minds of even intelligent folks in re-
gard to the simplest electrical terms. 10
most people tine electrical units are still
mere Greek, and comparatively few &C to
the trouble to take hold of the IN ore com
mon of them, such as volt 'ampere,
| 'resistencs. electro motive force etc,
and fix theirsmeauing once for all In the
mind. A manIwho knows me only by
reputation wrote to me the other day that
he had done this with much satisfaction
to himself. as he has now far more in
telligent Idea of electrical doings than he
had before.
But still, he said, from time to time
some electrical words orept into the dali y
press which conveyed nothing to him.
He mentioned as one of them the term
watt hour. Now. this is quite simple.
The watt is the unit of electric power. 1t
means the power developed when 1928
foot-pounds of work are done per min
ute, or 1873 foot-pounds per second. A
foot pound is the amount of work re-
quired to raise one pound vertically
through distance of one foot When
this is figured down so rs to ba defined in
horse power which is understood by
every one, 1t can offer no difficulty; land
IL any one to whom the word watt is
puzzling will remember that watt is
I-74bth of a horse power he will have no
more uncertainty about 1t. Having got
ten so far. 1t is an easy graduation to the
watt hour, which Is the term employ ed
to indicate the expenditure of an cleo
trical power of one watt Tor an hour. 10
other words, the energy represented by a
watt hour is equal TO that expanded In
raising IA pound to II height of 1854 feet
An even easier way OF liking it is to re-
member that two watt hours correspond
almost exactly to raising pound to u
height of one mile.
1.-The understanding of such terms
opens out some very curious facts to the
uninitiated, For instance, u certain dry
battery, weighing 0.3S pounds, was
known to yield 1870 watt hours. II this
force were applied to raising the battery
itself, 1t would lift 1t to n height of over
ten miles. Again, IN one hour the ener-
ey translated in any ordinary sixteen.
oandle-power lamp weighing y ut sa
ounce would raise that lamp to A4eip I
of 400 miles at a velocity of nearly seven
miles per minute. Yes, 1t pays a man to
expent little pains on mastering the
ordinary electrical terms"

1t is undoubtedly true that some of the
best lawyers of the Senate voted for a
construction of the constitution that
would have seated Corbett, and will seat
Quay. There Is no doubt that the ques-
ton of what constitutes vacancy which
the governor is authorized to fill is an
obscure one, one that may be answered
and able.
