It is said that some of the young.

WHY NOT AN EARLY TRAMP


The twin city Chicago lines are
making a move toward cutting down
the running time between the two
points in their passenger service, and
the North Western line is said to have
already inaugurated it by running a
sleeper on its fast mail train out of
the twin cities, instead of from Hud-
son, Wis, as heretofore, and direct
from Chicago, instead of some local IL
linois point. The time is not reduced
to ten hours, but doubtless will be, if
the opposition presses 1t is said that
the Great Western road will not COM
plain because of this proposed ten hour
schedule, but will meet it. Its line to
Chicago is only ten miles longer than
the Milwaukee route, and so it will not
be difficult for it to keep in sight of its
opponents. Besides it has been put
ting it's track in good repair, and is
said to be we'll prepared for the new
order of things Just how much this
now order of things will affect Man
kato, is not apparent just at this time.
but it is altogether probable that time
tables will be 50 arranged on lines out
of the twin cities, that some of this
advantage of shortened time will in
ure to our benefit.
There is a meve, however, that
MankatO ought to make, and that is
for more convenient train service di-
rect with Chicago. 1t would seem that
we ought to have. train arrive early
in the morning from that city. 1t
would be a matter of great con-
venience, which we have heard COM
mented upon great deal We ar5
aware of the fact that railway time
tables are made without much thought
of convenience for towns along the
way, but largely with view for bust
ness and connections at terminals,
but of course the welfare of service for
interior towns has to be kept more or
less in mind. But it strikes us that it
would be we'll for the board Of, trade
to look the matter up and see what
can be done and whether or not time
tables cannot be arranged to bring a
train in here in the early forenoon from
Chicago, instead of being obliged to
wait until one o'clock There would
be no harm in such move at least
and it might in time be brought
about. 1t would be great conven-
fence for this section if one were able
to leave Chicago in the early evening
and arrive home in the morning hours.

being played by the Misses Schoyen
with violin and cello, accompanied by
Mrs Chris Johnson at the piano.

Me" very effectively. Ruth Lewis and
Marjorie Pond we're flower girls. A

chased the material in Shanghai,
China. She was the recipient of num-
erous handsome and useful presents,
which were greatly admired

her departure from the city. The
groom was formerly a resident of Blue
Earth, but is now an expert electri-
clan and has a position with the
Northwestern Electric Co in st. Paul.
He is highly spoken of by those who

take with them the best wishes of all
They will be at home at 614 Central

ents as portion of their wedding gift.

then a faint crash like that of a broken

While Cochrane, STOPPING, looked down
through the gap in the bridge.

his way, and said, quietly: Gone! and

perhaps the ringing of hammers set the

Bon. His body was never found by the
White men, and Cochrane, who said his
followers had stolen it away, declared
that he was not sorry the grim ruler of

authorities objected to sensational re-

heard the story of how the steel ropes
defeated the Bob.

MANUAL TRAINING.

DIR. Woodward's explanation of a boys
growth in precision IA u result of his work
in manual training is one of the strongest
arguments in favor of that work in the public
schools. With all our boosted cnlightment
in matters educational, the boast has for its
foundation only about > per cent of our peo-
pie. Not that only > per cent are cnlighten-
ed. but only that many who are blazing out
new pathways and trying hard TO walk there
in. \ thoroughly trained and developed
mind with physical powers under the guild
ancc of well poised will, fits n boy or girl rs
well for lifcs duties rs he can well be fitted,
always considering that his spiritual views
are right in the sight of God.
But, returning to the direct point of
manual training, If it teaches precision of
judgement, of eye, of hand etc, will not
such training be as helpful rs that received
from years of Greek and Latin or Physics or
Chemistry? II seems so. In addition to that.
If ii helps n boy to find out himself and his
capabilities better than purely literary work,
then il is better still.
Manual training is a somewhat new ed
vocational pathway and D per cent of our pco-
pie see it or believe in it yet. When il once
