Better and Better.

The world grows better by degrees.
As roll the restless years along.
The poet should the moments seize
To fill the same with light and song.
The wrongs that honest men bewail,
That cause the worst Of us to weep,
We should NOT sound on every gale
In lamentations fierce and deep.
No. let us rather be content
To do the best that we know how
We didn't build the ornament.
Nor fashion man as he is now.
We can't relieve man from the curse
THAT fell on Father Adam here:
We cant construct Silken purse
From a dead SOw's unlaundcred ear
But we can do some things ! know,
With other tOilers of the race.
To make this wilderness of Woe
a very fair abiding place.

Alice Ronneberg, capital little
worker, was on the sick list last
Thursday. Her brother Arnold has
been assisting M. Tunheim in hay
making and will watch his cattle in
the fall. Eddie Ronneberg possesses
remarkable mechanical insight, and
is much valued for his helpfulness at
such and other work at home. Miss
Minnie Ronneberg has won distinc-
ton as hay loader lately. i
Mr.. Z. Larson, who is likely to run
T. Tunheim's threshing rig this fall,
threshed out some feed on the Trysil
ridge on Thursday last week, then on
Friday and Saturday helped thresh at
Messrs. M. and T. Tunheim's, where
the former opened the threshing sea-
son. At T. T. IT'S, Larson appeared
in his exquisite plug hat, and was the
pride of the whole crew. ..s.. .

one Of that class to whose feelings and
prejudices Bryan's rhetoric and ora
tory appeals with overwhelming force,
and which class the SHEAF designates
as the ''populace.' AS member Of
this class I am not entitled to any
opinion in regard to what constitutes
that rare and subtle quality which in
these days few but Mckinley possess,
and which must inevitably elude "a
visionary, a theorist, and sentimental
ist,'' as the SHEAF calls Bryan, name

to which none outside the Republican
party can lay claim, and of which on
ly Republicans can judge.

knowledge) are remarkable, and
should be famous, for the number Of
intelligent and accomplished people
they possess. There are philosophers
whose penetration into the mysteries
and sciences of nature would fairly
stagger some unsuspecting stranger
who might be given an opportunity
to mingle with them for a time and
could converse with them, especially
in their vernacular. There are preach
ers and other speakers, merchants and
mechanics, poets and editors and
other writer's, good cooks and house
keepers, etc., and musicians and
singers in abundance. They are
towns in which one may we'll love to
dwell.
We are pleased to have Miss Mary
Tunheim among us again. Her all
ment was not epilepsy, but nerve
trouble of a different kind. She is
almost well again.

Many people, regardless OF age
and sex, have been more or less
violently attacked by cholera NOR
bus. 1t is reported that whole
threshing crews, or nearly so, have
been affected, and that one crew sud-
denly fed to the woods, leaving the
feeder staring at them in wonder and
surprise. Among the most violent
cases was that OF Mr.. Claus johnson,
whose recovery, once questioned
even by the doctor who was called,
is now hopeful.
D. b. Bake, representing the Red
Lake County cheese factory COM
pany, who wished to begin business
here, has tried to hold at least two
meetings to interest the farmers
in the enterprise one at Johnsrud's
schoo]-house, the other at NJ. Tun-
helms place. At both places too few
met to consider the proposition
made by the company. Instead,
politics were mildly discussed. 1t is
to be hoped that ere long either the
farmers here themselves or some
company will start creamery or
cheese factory, or both creamery
and factory.

was already very well sung. The
next meeting will be at Mr.. T. So

whose rendition by choir OF Nor
wegian students at a Paris exposi-
tion years ago won the first prize,
will be pretty well mastered.
