TAKING THE THRONE
In Great Britain a Lot of Red Tape
Is Required.
Formalities to De Gone Through
With in Case of a New Sovereign
Medieval Customs of
Proclamation.

Even though the heir and successor
of British sovereign may be sitting
at the bedside of that sovereign when
death comes, as was the case at the
death of Queen Victoria, the new ruler
is not officially notified of the fact
that he has succeeded to the throne
until the announcement is made to
him by the lord chamberlain. This is
the first step taken when British ruler
dies.
At the earliest possible moment the
prlvy council convenes, the members
of that body resign and are immedi-
ately reappointed and resworn. At
their first meeting as advisers of the
new sovereign the members of the
cabinet formally give up their seals
of office, whereupon they also are re-
sworn to their respective depart
ments.
Both houses of parliament meet and
the announcement of the death of the
sovereign and the accession of his or
her successor is followed by each
member of both houses, beginning
Will the royal dukes III the mousse Oh
lords, taking the oath of allegiance
to the new ruler. Thus, while the
ministry, consisting of the leaders of
the political party in power resigns
being Immediately reappointed-no
election for members of the house of
commons is called, and the business of
the country is not interrupted.
At the first meeting of the privy
council the new sovereign chooses the
title by which he or she shall be known,
and takes the oath of allegiance be-
fore receiving those of his or her coun-
cilors. This royal oath practically is
a promise to rule according to the let
ter and spirit of the constitution and
an acknowledgment of fidelity to the

why E.ars Sometimes Rnrn

"When our ears do glow and Jingle
some do talk of us in our absence"
said Pliny, and though over 1000 years
have elapsed since his day the same
superstition still holds good. Shakes
peare refers to it in much Ado About
Nothing" when he makes Beatrice say
to Ursula and Hero, who had been
speaking of her: what fire is in mine
ears?" The burning of the ears is
supposed to be due to the agency of
guardian angels, who touch the left
ear if the talk be favorable, and the
right if it be otherwise, in order that
their charges may be encouraged or
warned, as the case may be.

sion for old age, before they can do
their best work." reads the article.
Nor are arguments needed to con-
vince every teacher of the power of
organization in this day of combina-
ton and concentration"
In speaking of the tendency to or
ganize Miss Haley says that the need
has been felt and is rapidly growing
in the large cities. But" she says,
teachers have been the last class to
organize effectively for the purpose of
lettering their material conditions.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of such organiza ton has been the
sentimental notion that teachers de-
grade themselves and their profession
by working individually or collectively
for mere material advancement
What is needed now is some demon
stration of the power of intelligent,
well-directed organized effort among
teachers to convince teachers and
others, not that organization is pro.
fessional, but that through organiza-
ton alone can teachers rid themselves
of the reactionary condition in and
out of the schoolroom which are
crushing out their lives, and those OF
the children, and counteracting the
results of their best efforts"

imposing in design, but it was con-
structed of terra Gotta. Dedication ex-
ercises were held on September IL,
1895, the anniversary of the battle. Not
long afterward, under the influence
of the storms that swept the exposed
hillside, the terra Gotta monument be-
gan to crumble, and it is now in ruins.
When Mr.. Taylor began his work
of building monuments he first pro-
vided suitable memorials for his wife
and child. Three statues, made in
Italy, of the best white marble of that
country, were erected on the Taylor
plot, one being life size figure of
his wife, another representing Jesus
Christ, and the third being group
consisting of the Virgin Mary and two
cherubim These statues were incased
in glass and placed on massive pedes-
tails of glazed brick.
Last year Mr.. Taylor endeavored to
enlist the cooperation of the state
legislature in erecting monument to
Lafayette On the battlefield. He Of
fered to bear most of the expense,
merely asking the state to give share
so that the project might not appear
to be entirely an individual enterprise
The appropriation, however, was not
granted. Undismayed, Mr.. Taylor pro-
ceeded with his plans, and under his
supervision the monument has now
been completed. 1t consists of col
umn of granite cubes, reaching the
height of 25 feet. The granite was
quarried at ST. Peters, in the north
western part of Chester county. The
monument is so arranged that if desira-
BILE statue of Lafayette may be placed
on the top. On the sides are inscribed
two extracts from an address delivered
by Lafayette at West Chester on the
occasion of his visit in 1925. One is the
following toast:
May the blood spilled by thousands
with equal merit in the cause of indie
pendence and freedom be to ensuing
generations an eternal pledge of I'M
alleged republicanism, federal unity,
public prosperity and domestic happi-
ness"
The other quotation is as follows:
''The honor to have mingled nv
blood with that of many other Ameri-
can soldiers on the heights of Brandy
wine has been to me source of pride
and delight
Mr.. Taylor's monuments, remarkable
in themselves, are the more conspicu-
Gus because they stand in Quaker
cemetery. Originally the Friends doc
trine of extreme simplicity permitted
the erection Of no markers whatever
at the graves of their dead. In modern
times, however, they have tolerated
the low headstones now common in
their graveyards. At Birmingham, in
addition to this, tract is set apart
for those who do not choose to ad-
here rigidly to Quaker methods of
burial, and it is in this section that
NJ. Taylor's monuments are placed.

Found Skeletons.

While men were at work excavating
cellar on the farm of J. N Nelson,
three miles southeast of Cokato, they
uncovered the skeletons of two men.
The appearance of the skeletons would
indicate that they had been in the
ground for many years. None of the
old settlers knows or can give any idea
of the identity of the remains About
25 years ago a disreputable family
lived in the neighborhood. They sud
denly moved to parts unknown, and it
is supposed that strangers in the vicin-
ity were murdered in the house and
their bodies buried under the floor.
The skeletons appear to have been laid
one on the other.

The formal proclamation of the new
king is worded by the members of the
privy council, who, with one voice and
consent of tongue and heart, declare

given to the earl marshal, the chief of

The barrier, consisting of a silken

where the lord mayor and sheriffs, in
full robes, awaited them in their state
carriages. The proclamation was read
and the city officials replied that they

Poultry at the Fair.

That veteran poultryman, Leslie
Parline of st. Paul, will again have
charge of the cocks and hens and 9TH
er members of the feathered tribe at
this years state fair. Mr.. Parline has
been superintendent of the poultry
department for great many years
and the poultry fanciers who attend
the fairs would about as much expect
to see sheep or cattle in the poultry
building as to seey anybody else in
charge.
Mr.. Parline is an enthusiast and

Will Make a Park.

A letter was received by officials of
the Duluth land Office from Land
Commissioner Herman, directing
them to withdraw from settlement,
entry or any other form of DISPOSE
ton certain townships and parts of
townships in Cook and Lake counties,
embracing in all 100000 acres. This
action is taken pending a determine
ton of the advisability of establishing
what is to be known as ''the Lake SUI
perior forest reserve" About one
third of Lake county would be taken
up by the reserve under the plan as
proposed and a large portion of Cook
county. The land is not especially
rich in timber, but it is well adapted
to cattle ranching and farming. What
are believed to be rich mines hidden
underneath the surface will also be
made inaccessible.

GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA.
Col. Brodie, New Chief Executive of
the Territory, Has Had an In
teresting Career.

A. 0. Brodie, the veteran rough rid
er, who has recently been appointed
governor of Arizona territory, was
graduated from West Point in 1870,
and promoted to a second lieuten-
ancy in the same year. He served on
frontier duty up to 1877, when he re-
signed from the service. In 1871 he
was especially commended for gal
lantry in action with the Apaches,
and was recommended for brevet by
Gen. Crook for services against the
same tribe in 1S72-73.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out he organized the Arizona

quota of the First United States cav
airy, Familiarity known as the rough
riders. He organized, drilled and
equipped the first squadron of the
regiment at San Antonio, Tex, in
May, 1898. He was wounded in the
action of Las Guasimas, Cuba, on
June "a, his forearm being shattered
by a Mauser bullet. In this engage
ment he was in command of the left
flank.
In August he was made lieutenant
colonel of his regiment. He was es-
pecially commended by Gems. Shafter,
Wheeler, Young and Wood and Col.
Roosevelt.
After Brodie left the regular army
he worked for time as a day la
borer in the mines of Arizona. His
climb to the top, however, was rapid,
and few years later he was put in
charge of the great Walnut Grove
dam, ON the Hassayampa river, north
of Wickenburg. In 1884 when the
dam was about completed, an i'm
mense flood washed it out, causing
the loss of 80 lives and damaging
property worth millions of dollars in
the valley below. Brodie's promised
wife was the sole survivor of her
family, who were camped below the
dam. She escaped by climbing a cliff,
and few minutes later became Mrs.

Struck by Cyclone.

While the Billy Bennett show was
exhibiting at Perham, in tent damned
with people, cyclone struck the town.
People, seats and poles were thrown
into heap. To add to the disaster,
the canvas caught fire from the over
turned lights, causing a general panic.
Luckily, however, no one was killed,
and aside from a few bad burns, no
one was seriously hurt. The showmen
and outside citizens united to give aid,
and it was through their efforts that
no fatalities occurred.

Marriage Premium Withdrawn.

To promote marriages in Servia all
young persons having at Least 1000
dinars in the governmentsa savings bank
receive handsome premium from the
bank on their wedding day. The con-
sequence was that young folks rushed
into matrimony to repent at leisure,
and often, as soon as the money was
spent, they sued for divorce. AS the
plan did not seem likely to bring an
increase of population, the generous
premium has been withdrawn.

in certain districts in France.

In NO Other Way, Says Miss Haley,

In an article published in the Chi

Margaret A. Haley urges the teach
ers to organize and perfect the
organizations which they already
have. She says that the way
to secure their material advance

Haley claims that the teachers have
many things upon which it would be
fitting for them to spend their energy
in making better for the teacher.

The forthcoming quarterly report of
DIR. III. M. Braclzen, secretary of the
state board of health, will show that
there have been 2,143 cases of small
pox in Minnesota in the quarter, of
which twelve resulted fatally. In the
past two years the state has spent
nearly $50, 1000 for the care of non-resi-
dent smallpox patients. Most of them
were lumbermen who caught the in
lection in the northern camps, and,
having spent their wages, were thrown
on the state for support.

some of them seriously.
Ruth Rood, 81 years of age, daugh-
ter of Otto Rood, was drowned in a
drainage ditch near the summer home
of her parents at Spring Park.
William Baudimiere and Gustaf
Denim, well-to-do young farmers,
while out fishing on Parsons lake,
near Carver, accidentally tipped their
boat over and were drowned, neither
being able to swim.
The Great Northern south-bound
passenger train killed Andrew Win
berg at Quamba. Winberg was asleep
by the track, with his heady on tie
for pillow. The noise of the APP

raised up just in time to have his
head struck by the pilot of the en-
