The Trunk Paid.

Some years ago man ran up bill
Of $500 in the fremont House, Chica
go, and then ran away without settling
1t. The trunk which remained In his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines Of Col
orado, where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
of the trunk to an assayer, who return
ed two bits of metal valued at more
than 500 in excess Of the bill aftel
deducting his own fees.

"Humph! You've just read that,

"Er-er-yes, 1t certainly does, but
"And it also states that woman's
brain is of much finer quality, doesn't
it?"

WHAT TO EAT TO LIVE LONG.

The desire to live is the dominant
human passion, yet such is human ma
ture that little regard is paid by most
of us to the laws of health. Food has
three purposes: First, to secure growth
that is the formation of new tissue !;
second, to preserve tissue now formed !;
and, third, to supply heat and energy:
Golden Grain Belt beer fulflls the
requirements of perfect food bever-
age because it is brewed from the
purest barley malt and hops. 1t is de-
licious and refreshing and should be
in every home. Order of your dealer

PREPARING FOR THE TEST.
The Normal Board Will Canvass the
Situation Saturday.

Next Saturday the state normal
school board will hold it's regular meet
ing in St. Paul The committee ap-
pointed to confer with the board of
control will report that it's overtures
have been rejected, and acting on this
report the board will undoubtedly
take action looking to test of the
law Excellent legal authorities claim
that the supreme court will hold the
board of control law to apply to the
normal schools, but will not extend 1T
to the university.
Contrary to the general opinion, the
normal schools and the university are
not on the same basis. The university
is corporation, and its powers can
not be taken away without specific
enactment.
