No broader distinction can be
made between men than that
which divides them into two
classes. { To the first class belong
those who have q good excuse why
the thing required cannot be
done. The second class is com.
posed of those who manage to do.
Foremost in this latter class
stands out the figure of General
DeWet. Allen Sangree, who has

Insurance.

What the State NATURAL Insurance
Company of Hakinson is, and on what
basis it is founded, as compared with
the SO called Mutual Companies of the
past.
Their work last year resulted in a
saving to the farmers of the state OF
several thousand dollars, for the same
protection as given by other Com
panies. They paid all losses for the
year in full, on an assessment of three
and eight tenths per cent, in place OF
five per cent, which they could have
charged. Therefore we believe the
company should have your support,
as it will be the means of saving the
farmers money this year, the same as
last. They insure only one fourth of
the number of acres in any one town
ship, and many counties in the state
have already taken nearly the full
amount of insurance allowed by the
company. In this way they will
scatter the risks all over the state, and
furnish insurance at a very small per
cent. of the rate charged by other
companies.
The company also reports a nice
fire business, and never in the history
of the state was insurance carried at
the figure this company carried it last
year.
The officers are all we'll known as
men of integrity and honor are sue
cessful business men aud farmers.
The secretary was allowed, S250.0o as
salary last year, and no other officer
received more than that amount, which
shows the company is run on an
economical basis and with no lavish
expenditure of the funds of its mem
bers.

The English people are howl
ing for a protective tariff. They
are getting tired Of having the
United States the brightest star
of prosperity in the galaxy OF
nations. It takes a long time
for some people to wake up but
our Britith cousins are just now
tumbling to the fact that the
balance of trade is on this side of
the herring pond. And yet we
are told that the tariff cuts no
figure.

The daily papers claim that
Germany is preparing to go to
war with the United States. This
country is not hankering for any
more scraps but our German
friend can rest assured that if he
forces a fight on your Uncle Sam
that he will get an exhibition of
fighting that will take the curl
out of his moustache.

The editor of the Minot Optic

element of the state he will soon

A long time ago, when Aguin-
aldo was in hiding and scattering
the seeds of instruction in the
Philippines, the administration
said that if Aggy was captured
the rebellion would soon be over
and the islands pacitied. The
opposition, as usual, made all
sorts of fun at this statement
and blew off all kinds of .'hot air"
during the last campaign in which
they argued that Aguinaldo, the
second George Washington,
would never surrender the prin-
ciples for which he had been
fighting, and that the admins
tration. could never stop the re-
bellion. Well, to make a long
story short, Aggy has been cap
tured and has sworn allegiance
to the American flag and in addi.
ton has issued a manifesto tell.

TO ABOLISH HOME COOKING.

Mime. Jeanne Schmahl, one of the leaders of the women's movement and editor of the Avant Courier, has un- dertaken a campaign for the abolition of home cookery in France, which should not be In the hands of an ignor- ant or incapable servant or the wives of workingmen, but should be in the hands of specialists. She has, there fore, declared war upon the family cooking range, and proposes to substi- ute the common kitchen, where every hour meals will be cooked by first rate, duly qualified cooks. Women would thus have time to devote themselves to other branches of domestic work, their homes would be cleaner and brighter, and offer an attraction which would keep men out of the wineshops. She declares that no one in Paris bakes at home or washes linen, If then the pop ulation can emancipate itself from the necessity of baking and washing why should 1t not also get rid of the kitch- en?-Paris Special to the New York Herald

FUN AT THE PEQUOT.

The Horse Race Was Greatly Enjoyed
 There Last Night.
 There was an exceedingly enjoyable entertainment at the Pequot club house last evening, and 1t was largely attend ed. The evenings fun consisted in what Is called horse race" for the ladies and gentlemen bet on the result with money that wouldn't be good for trolley car fare The horse race con- sisted in cutting long strips of tape and the one who reached the end of the line first was the winner The tape was cut with scissors and the racing" furnished a great deal Of fun for those taking part and those looking on, The gentlemen made big bets on the side and each "horse" was heavily backed. Tips were given out and of course there were favorites and dark horses and the gentlemen had plenty of real sport in carrying out their part of the entertainment The race was started after considerable trouble at the post, but when the "horses" got under way the running was good. Corn- ing around the stretch Miss Bryant had the pole and was leading by a neck with the other forty-one we'll punched Mrs c. F. Larom was in the second po- sition, but it was anybody's race until a few yards from the wire It was then that Miss Bryant and Mrs. Lar om let themselves out, breaking away from the bunch and finishing strong. Mrs Larom, by beautiful burst of speed, broke away from the leader, passing her few yards from the finish and winning by nose amid the ap- plause of the spectators. The finish was very close and a great deal of money changed hands. Major Fassett was the heaviest plunger, and as he won the most money he was awarded the first gentleman's prize. Walter Dobbs won the second prize, and Mrs. Larom's $ prize was handsome parasol. Miss Bryant who gave Mrs. Larom such a hard run for her money, received a valuable cut glass vase. There were no prizes for the "also rans.
