1T SEEMS TO BE EVANS.

The candidacy of Robert G
Evans for the Senate meets with
favor throughout the state. 1t is
too much to hope that he will be
elected without struggle, but it is
evident that he is far and away in
the lead, and his defeat, if he shall
be defeated, which is improbable,
will be the result of combination
amounting almost to conspiracy "a
combination of all other aspirants
who will have no higher motive
than to defeat the best and strong
est man. because he is the best and
strongest-a motive wholly un-
worthy. Jealousy in politics is as
despicable as in private life.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Some weeks ago several questions
were asked the pupils In all the grades
above the third with the purpose OF
learning something definite about their
general reading. The inquiry shows
that about half the pupils patronize
the public library. Books of history.
travel, and adventure are the fayorites
of the girls as we'll as the boys. The
number of books read by each pupil
during year varies from one to hun
dred twenty. In the high school the
average is twenty. David Harum, !"
"Richard Carveln .Janice Meredith"
have been the books most popular in
the high school. Among favorite
authors, the high school students give
the preference to Miss Alcott, Sir
Walter Scott and E. P. Roe. In
answer to the question, "What do
you consider the best book that you
have ever read?" there seems to be no
agreement of opinion, more than
thirty books being listed. In addition
to the above named books, "Evange-
line,n 1.-THE Land of the Midnight
SUM-, "Little Women,' Colonial
Boys, and Uncle Toms Cabin re-
ceived two or more votes each.
A mimeographed list of the juvenile
books recently added to the public
library has been hung in every grade
and in each of the high school rooms.
Below are two pupils criticisms

"The Pathfinder ofthe Revolution"
I like the Pathfinder of the Revo-
luton" because it is book of adven-
ture, Indian strategem and romance.
1t tells how the Indian would try to
deceive the whites by planting young
trees in front of their Notifications,
but the ever watchful eyes of the con-
tinentals would detect nearly every
thing the Indians did Paul Fish, 9Th

RING OUT THE OLD
RING IN THE NEW.

The close of the most eventful
century in the worlds history is at
its close. At its opening who SO
bold as to predict its achievements!
The advance has been along many
lines, all working together for the
ameIioration of human conditions.
The realities of 1900 were not
even dreams in 1900. This great
earth of ours has been compressed
into very small limits land has
been indeed "girdled in forty min
utes." "Unexplored territory" no
longer confronts one upon the face
of the world-atlas. Science, arts,
civilization, religion - everything
has gone forward hand in hand.
The world is better, handsomer,
more desirable as human habitat
in every way; and the impetus
given during the century past must
inevitably carry the next one to
limits beyond speculation.
While the change from this CEN
fury to the next will not be appre-
cable, yet it is an event fraught
with significance. Increased OPP
portunity brings renewed response
bility, and no one may shirk his
share. We, who are fortunate to
be in the midst of life's activities
now are responsible for the direc-
ton in which they shall be exerted,
and to that extent, responsible for
directing the trend of the century
about to commence.

Good Suggestion.

DR.. E. v. Campbell of ST. Cloud,
addresses letter to the ST. Cloud
Times, which farmers of this vicinity

wide range of topics. Many of these
may be had for the asking; others may
cost five or ten cents. They are not
must fill SO much space in their papers
each week, but the actual results Of
experiments, carried on under govern
ment or state supervision. They
would be fine reading for farmer boys
who wish to know how not to do
things as well as the best and modern
way of doing things. The informa-
ton so gained, is rom the very best
authorities, and would be exceedingly
helpful. Why should farmers do
their work in the old way, when the
new way is not only much easier but
much better? If any farmer will send
his name to Hon. Page Morris, at
Washington, and request his name to
be put on the mailing list of the Agri-
cultural Department, he will each
month, receive bulletin from which
he may select such publications as he
may wish to read. Here are some of
the topics in the last bulletin:
Earth Road-Hints on Construction
and Repair, State Aid to Road Build
ing; Wide Tires, Laws of States Re
lating to their use; Information Con.
corning Game; Barnyard Manure; The
Feeding of Farm Animals; Potato Gull
ture; Onion Culture; Facts about Milk;
Standard Varieties of Chickens: But
ter Making on the Farm; Care of Milk
on the Farm: The Vegetable Garden;
Insect Enemies of Shade Trees; Farm
ers' Reading Courses.
That is a splendid lot of reading for
winter evenings, and all can be had
for the asking. One postal card to
the Department will bring any or all
of them.

The Quakers in Gne old times did not
think pictures We're useful to have.
Benny West was taking care of a
baby and she smiled so sweet that he
drew picture of her.
He got his brushes from the cats
tail, and forgot to go to school.
One day his teacher missed him and
his mother went to look for him and
she found him in his garrett painting
pictures.
She did not punish him for she was
much pleased with his picture he had
made.
He studied painting in Philadelphia
and Italy.
Afterwards he became very great.
