The Great Week.

The great week of the future is to
have ten days, and each day shall be
one-tenth Of the week. Thus there will
be three weeks in n month and 81 weeks
in the year. The last week will be a
short week-a fractional week-with
only five days, and in leap year one day
more will be added, making a 6-day
week once in four years. The change
is to be made when the first day of Jan
nary falls on a Sunday and every year
is to begin on Sunday eyer after.
The names of the days of the week
will be as follows: Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri
day, Saturday, Payday, Holiday,
Doomsday. Payday will he ruled by
the planet Neptune, which governs the
sea, and the ships will come over laden
with money. Holiday follows with a
delightful time, for everybody will be
ruled by the planet Uranus which rep
resents Heaven. This day will be
devoted to all kinds of recreation; while
Sunday shall continue TO be the Christ
ian's Sabbath-the Lords day. Dooms-
day is the doom of the week and will be
ruled by the Asteroids-those little
fragmentary planets between Mars and
Jupiter.
ihis new order makes one day for
each of all tho planets, thus making a
perfect week before the world. Accord
ing to this new arrangement all con-
fusion will be done away with and our
birthdays will always be on the same

Another ridiculous food fad has been

that enc kind of food is needed for

another for bones. a correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part Of the
body, but IL will sustain every other part.

The Two Days Celebration al
A "knight of the Grip"
Saw 1t.

Zone of a company of five knights of
the Grip called at this Office the other
day and handed us the following article
for publication. These gentlemen are
now making their headquarters at
Aberdeen.-Ed.
1t was with many misgivings and
serious a~pprehensions that on the morn
ing of the 4th we boarded the train at
Aberdeen for that smiling metropolis,
Webster, the only city Oh the map.
AS the train drew up at that station
our eyes were indeed opened by the
brilliant display of bunting, and the
many beautiful ways in which the fair
city was decorated, fully exemplifying
the artistic ability of her fair citizens.
We were escorted from the train by a
company Of reporters and a large dele
CATION of men and women, and as we
proceeded up the street we We're assured
of our happiness by many smiling faces,
and as heart beat and thoughts reverted
we We're conscious at last that after
many days of waking and nights OF fit
full slumber, footsore and weary, we
had arrived at that "oasis," a fertile
spot III the desert of human existance,
where the lonely traveller might again
be rejuvenated at the fountain of hos
pitality, and battle in the sunshine of
her fair streets.
1t was indeed a beautiful morn, when
both Heaven and nature strove for the
mastery and left their smiling benedic-
tons to us poor mortals as momentoes
of their faithful service, and make the
welkin ring with gladness and good
will to all who were permitted to par
ticipate in the coming festivities.
We were saddered and sore at heart
for but one thing, and that, seeing so
many young couples, like the two of
old, I'm some secret vale, go arm in
arm with love-" or ~perchance a smiling
lip or a FASTENED word or action
reafirming her undyipg affection for
her lord and lover, so we We're forced
to sigh and repeat, 1.-THE love of one
good pure woman is worth ten thousand
crowns" But hope springs eternal in
the human breast, and we went on,
wondering at the sights and gazing into
the faces of the thousands who passed
by, ard occasionally we met one who,
having known rs, would meet Us so
cordially AID extend Us the right hand
of fellowship with so much zeal aud
ardor that the pain and suffering would
flee away aud VT We're happy again.
But how can pen describe all the
many occurrences Of these two eyentful
days! Suffice it to say that never
before has it been the pleasure of this
quota of travelling men to be so royalty
entertained and Hospitality cared for,
and wherever we may wander or what
ever may be our station in life, we can
look back to those few hours Of pleasure
with feelings akin TO ecstacy, and with
a conclusion fttingly appropriate, say,
May she continue in her fair way, and
around every tissue of their hearts be
entwined those good graces that tend to
the up-building of mankind, and tear

superstition and vice, and to her may

A Fable.

~ nee upon time in q large

~ who had "Qualms," whatever
those are, and he was New
on the Force. Now the Policeman
had dreams of Promotion, and thoughts
of how he might increase his 66A per,
but he was out among the Goats and
not Box man in sight. 81
So the Policeman had become desper-
ate and lost Hope so much that he had
almost concluded to Pinch the next
Choo-ChoO going over a 60 mile clip.
1t was in this Desperate state of mind,
right on the Fringe of Frenzy, that
Relief came and he was detailed to the
Dock to welcome a notorious Character
known on four Continents and six
hemispheres and who was considered
Bad and quick on the Draw.
So the Policeman took up his Station.
and only had it up Short time when
he Spotted his man through Heavy
fringe of Lace Curtains. Now the
Policeman was new and did Fool
hardy but Brave thing. He did not
Wait, but in plain sight of IL 600 Peo-
pie, he firmly placed his Lunch Hook
on the Bad mans shoulder. Now the
B. M. had Reputation to sustain, and
in one lightning move he drew Roll
of the Long Green and pressed it full
in the face of the gallant officer. With
a Naughty look of Contempt and Dis
dain the officer brushed it aside. With
q Nawful cry the Bad Man fell deaa,
at his feet. With one Accord lIOOO
people started to cheer this Heroic ac-
tion, but only faint Whisper was
aroused as they were all struck Dumb.
After thanking them all in a few
well-choeen words, the officer Retired
with his prisoner. For this Gallant
deed he received nearly one ton of
Coal through the mails and was offered
princely Salary to Star "With His
Own Company" H. E.M.

and as such play part in the govern
ment of the state. Now it cannot be
denied that, other things being equal,
an intelligent voter is of more use to
the state-that is, the people,-than an
unintelligent voter. Hence, the teaching
of BIS children becomes the concern of
the state-or the people, if you please.
On the other hand, we have yet to learn
that the horse plays part in shaping
the government of people. But if
the time ever arrives that a majority of
the people deem it necessary to train
BIS horse; or reach the conclusion that
the training of BIS horse would be con-
ducive to the general good of the people;
then shall unhesitatingly answer the
state has the right to tax every one,
from A to z, for training BIS horse.
l concede that character may be in
herited. Especially is this true in
primitive races, where the environ
ments of the son differ but little from
the environments of the father. In
civilized man inherited character is
counteracted to great extent by the
almost continuous change in the enyi-
ronments. If the son inherits certain
tendencies from his father, environ
ment may not only modify those
tendencies, but may, and often does,
overcome them altogether. Character
is what we are; reputation is what
others think we are, and is in great
measure fictitious, and consequently
cannot be inherited, since no parents
can transmit to their children what
they themselves do not possess.
Intellectual culture is the strengthen
ing, the developing of the intellectual
faculties; and If therei is a development
OF the intellectual faculties without a
corresponding. development of the
moral sentiments, evil may possibly
result, because the mind is not we'll
balanced. Thus the man who is only
intellectual may use his intellectually
for ends that are detrimental to the
welfare of society. Contrariwise, the
moral-intellectual man will be led-by
his moral nature to use his intellectu-
ality for the benefit of society.
Whether one acquires as much under
standing of moralization as of intel
lectual culture in our public schools
depends altogether on the teachers.
Education facilitates the spread of
anarchism in this manner: Since
anarchists are forbidden to proclaim
their doctrines openly they fall back
on printed matter which they send
through the mail. If the receiver of
such literature could not read it is
clear it would not affect him for good
or evil. There is no paucity of Anglo
Saxon anarchists. The cities of England
contain thousands of anarchists. But
they are not so murderous as their
continental brethren; presumably be-
cause their grievances are not SO great
and many. How it is possible for
education to decrease drunkenness has
already been discussed.
AS it is my intention to give an out
line in the near future of what state
education should be, and how con-
Quoted, l shall then discuss the question
from a moral point of view
I cannot too highly praise the calm
and dignified tone of Mr.. SIS article.
He sets us all a noble example, which
|, for one, shall strive to follow.

After the Ball.

They sat and combed their beautiful hair,
Their long bright tresses one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there
After the revel was DONE
Robe Of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots Of flowers and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place,
For the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes of white
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun
Stockingless, slipperless, sit in the night,
For the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair,
Those wonderful waves of brown and gold,
Till the fire is out in the chamber there,
And the little bare feet are cold.
Then steal along in a splendid dream
To golden zittern's tinkling tune,
While Thousand lusters shimmering stream
In palaces grand saloon.
Two and two they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And all unheard In the lovers talk
He claimeth one for bride.
Robed for the bridal and robed for the tomb,
Braided brown hair and golden tress;
There'll be only one of you left for the bloom
Of the bearded lips to press.
Oh. beautiful Maud, in her bridal white,
For you the revel has just begun;
But for her who sleeps in your arms tonight
The revel of life is done.
But robed and crowned with your sanity bliss,
Queen of Heaven and Bride of the Sun,
Oh, beautiful Madge, you never will miss
The kisses another has won.

MANITOBA FLAX OUTLOOK
OUTLINED BY JOSEPH MARTIN
Largest Crop Ever Predicted for the
PrOvince-Wheat Sit
uatiOn.

Manitoba is out for another record
breaking year, and. unless something I'M
forseen 1ntervenes, the province will
maintain the position gained last year
as wheat producer, and may even do
better. The outlook Is very promising,
says Joseph Martin a prominent grain
man or Winnipeg who was visitor on
change to-day. Mr.. Martin adds:
Inc greatest relative gains will be in the
production Of flax. While it might be too
much to say that the province will cut an i'm
portant figure in the worlds production OF fax
This year, 1t is afe to say that the production
will be far larger than ever known before, If
conditions are favorable. At present the outlook
is as good as has ever been known at this
time. There has been abundant moisture and
in a few localities farm work is already
started. In a day or two seeding will begin.
Immigrants are pouring into Manitoba by
the thousand. Nearly all Of them are going
into the territory north and west of Winnipeg.
and it is here, on the new ground that much
of the increased fax acreage will be found
The Manitoba grain interests are disap-
pointed over the failure Of the project to bring
Manitoba wheat to the Minneapolis mills for
grinding. From the first the Winnipeg mer
were less sanguine OF the success of the
plan but they favored 1t and hoped the ar
rangement would be perfected. The longest
ed state along the railroad lines, and the in
ability of the Canadian roads to move the
grain promptly has been great handicap to
the farmers. Ultimately there must be relief
and so long as the Manitoba railroads remain
in such condition that they cannot handle the
crops satisfactorily, the question Of sending
wheat across the line will be a live one.
