BEATING the Slot Machines.

The slot machine seemed groan-
ing with q wealth of nickels when
the collector came to TIE cigar store
to, open it. AS he turned out the
coins bystander remarked, "See all
the money!
ESNot, on your lifeY replied the
collector. sThe game isn't what it
used to be. Nearly half of these
are no good. SeeY' And he deity
separated the coins into three piles.
One, and not much the larger, rep
resented the quota Of bona fde
nickels. Another was composed of
coins recently issued by a depart
ment store as a souvenir of an ami
versary. The third pile was simply
a lot of lead disks cut exactly in the
size Of a five cent piece.
''That's the work. Of the printers"
explained the collector. ttThey have
facilities for making these things
out Of waste naetaE from the type
setting machines, and they beat
every slot game m town So, you
see, our business isn't what it is
cracked up to- be. "-Philadelphia

SENATOR KYLE, of South Dakota
died at his home at ABERDEEN on
Monday Of this week. He has been
United States senator from that state
for about ten years and each time his
election was to break deadlock, He
was first elected by the populists, but
the second time, he was elected by the
Republicans throwing all their votes
to him. Though not lacking in. con-
viction, Senator Kyle held his politi-
cal opinions mildly, and seems to
have been able to decide each ques-
ton on its own merits irrespective of
its political bearing. During his last
term, he has voted consistently with
the Republicans on matters of public
policy. Though not great states
man, Kyle will be remembered as
mild-mannered and kind hearted
man who had large personal fol-
lowing. ,'tssN

A BooMRANG It must follow, then
that for congress to proceed in ill
advised fashion and legislate the
trusts out of existence by destroying
their business and shutting down
their plants would be to visit the first
punishment upon the very class for
whom protection is asked, the work
ing men. It may lie, and it is, a
hardship to the working man to have
to pay Is per cent advance on what
he eats and wears, but it would be a
greater hardship to suffer a SO per
cent, reduction in what he earn7. It
would be a still greater hardship for
for him to be thrown wholly out of
employment. Tie coal and iron
mines of the the country, many of the
manufacturing plants and most of the
railroads are controlled by the trusts
These are the employers of labor
and when Democratic leaders and
newspapers, talk breezily of "smash.
inA them they do not realize that
they are striking blow at labor and
production. The trusts must not be
smashed" for the country cannot
afford to have production destroyed.
They must be regulated and prevent
ed from working evil.

The threadbare argument of .snt
tariff 'tinkering" is. the only one which
can possibly be advanced against
the purpose of Congressman Babcoch
to readjust some of the Dingley. tar,
if rates to suit the needs of the pres.
ent. There is no othea argument
that can be advanced against the
common sense idea of removing the
tariff where it is no longer neened;
and that is no argument at all.
Better that the Republican party at
the next session of congre should
read just these rates in conservative
manner than that the only and orig
inal tariff tinkerers, should get con
troll of the. government in 1904.
This same opinion holds through the
whole West, and if Congressman
Eddy is in line with the "Babeock
idea," as is reported, then he has
taken position that will materially
aid his chances next summer.

TUESDAY was the fiftieth annivel

> TUESDAY was the fiftieth annivel"
sary of the arrival of Bishop Cretin in
St. Paul, and during this week there
has been an appropriate observance
of the event in st. Paul as the Jubilee
anniversary of Catholicism in Mime
sofa. Archbishop Ireland in delivering
the sermon address spoke most elo-
quently of the growth of the church in
Minnesota, commencing the work of
the churchmen, of the laity, and even
including ''our non-Catholic fellow
citizens who have aided in building
up the church in the Northwest"
There is probably no other place on
earth where the Catholic and non
Catholic churches work together in
such perfect accord as they do in
Minnesota, which is matter OF grea
congratulation for both branches of
the great Christian family. The
Catholic church has been most wise
in dealing with questions which grew
out Of great scientific awakening OF
half century ago, for while some
other churches have been split in two
by those questions, the Catholic
church wisely left them where they
belong, on the side. Again the
philanthropic activities of the church
have elected the respect and support
of not only their own members, but
even of Catholics. In this age,
we have learned to admire ...good
works, whoever the deer may be,
while not necessarily abating one
whit of our loyalty to our own church
home.

FOR THEsLlTTLE ONES
Four Mountain Lions Made His Hair
Stand on End.

Stand on End.
I was in the mountains of Idaho
with friend and we ran short. of
fresh meat, so one day / took my
gun and started off alone. / went
into a rayine and was making my
way along little brook, when I
came suddenly upon queer sight.
Not four feet in front-of me, in the
full blaze of the sun, lay four noun
tain lions asleep.
For half minute / thought them
dead, but as I stood staring at them
! with my heart in my mouth every
one of them sprung up with growl.
Then they faced round at me, look
ing ugly, shifting the air with their
whiskers drawn back, showing the
white line of their teeth, switching
their tails and looking like demons:
As for me, I stood rooted to the
spot. i couldn't move, from sheer
fright. A queer numb sensation
began in my ankles and crept up my
body, and I literally felt my hair
rise.
I stood there motio4dess for sew
eral minutes; then one of the beasts
dropped his tail and whined. The
others followed his example. My
presence mystifed them. A few
seconds later they turned about and
crept away down the ravine, looking
back stealthily two or three times to
see me.
:. When >they were out Of sight, I
began to breathe again. ! didn't
care to hunt any more that day and
made for the camp at top speed.
That was the time my hair stood on
end, and my scalp Wes sore to the
touch for week afterward.- st.

Wise Speculation.

A Howard man has been trying a
novel experiment. during the last
year. He watched the stock mar
iets and made supposititious invest
ments, of which he kept careful
track. At the end Of the year. he
found that if his speculations had
been real he would have been out OF
pocket Just $500, 900. It is fine
illustration of the fate which lies in
wait for the amateur on the stock
market.-Kansas City Journal.

|. MYSTERY Of 1900 oANs.

eve had a salvage sale Of gro
ceries few weeks ago." said one Of
the largest auctioneers IN Cinciil-
natl, 'and among the things offered
were $4,000 cans of assorted vege-
tables, fruits and preserves. The
labels on the cans had been DESTROY
ed, and there was no way Of telling
what each contained. The contents
were guaranteed to be all right, but
it seemed like pretty hopeless col
lection to sell.
"Fo my surprise, one man bid off
the entire lot. / wondered what he
expected to do with it, and week
ago he came in to show me what he
had done. TTe had revarnished all
the cans and put on new labels, With
the following inscription:
81 am can of something good,
I'd tell my name if but could,
For was sunk upon a boat
. And lost my name and pretty coat,
But still Pm sound and very sweet,
Fit food for kings and queens to eat.
'"The purchaser told me that he
had sold nearly all of his cans at a
good profit and the very uncertainty
about the.eontents was temptation
to women to buy. He is a young
man on the lookout for an oppor-
tunity to make a fortune, and I
think that I am safe in prophesying
that he will succeed"

stone on the mantelpiece. She took
possession of it, and had it set in
