AT the dawning of the. new century
a little daughter was born to a Minna-
apolis couple and in an unguarded
moment they asked the public to sug-
gest an appropriate name, one. that
would signify that she was Minneapo-
lis new century girl The Mime
apolis Journal gave the matter pub
licity and has since been publishing
some of the names suggested. The
people who have rendered their SER

pronunciation but blight her future.
The proud daddy might better have
left the matter to her maternal

NOT DUE THE CITIES BY RIGHT.

NOT DUE THE CITIES BY RIGHT
The Owatonna Journal does not like
the idea of the representatives of 81
Their Minneapolis or st. Paul meeting
and endorsing certain men for the SEN
ate, and expect the rest of the State to
be satisfied with their action. But if
the senator is to come from the cities,
or rather if man from. either of them
aspires to the position, he must have
his county back of him in pretty solid
shape or his aspirations will amount to
little. If the man is to come from the
Twin Cities he ought to be one upon
whom they can agree, providing. of
course the rest of the State considers
that the choice is the best one. The
Free Press has never looked with favor
upon the claim that the senatorship
belongs to the cities by right. 1t has
held and still holds that the man who
is big enough to be senator, issbig
enough to look after the interests of
the whole State no matter where he
comes from but we can see nothing in
the cities making choice as to whom:
they will put forward for the position,
and the fact that they select good men
is not denying that there are not other
equally good mon who are not men
toned. -Mankato Free Press. - -.

A Careful Mother,

This Ia story one woman IL never

had been Ill with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and 1t was us an illustration OF this
that she told the story of the care of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
1t. Not rs much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
1t WINS not In time Of primitive igno.
rance.
