Pa Hand, of the Hurley Miner,
gives forth the ollowing bit Of
cage advice, from which one might
imagine the old man had got it in
the neck at some time and in the
leisure of repentance had penned
the lines!~
"Drink nothing without seeing it,
sign nothing withdut reading it,
and make sure it means nothing
more than it says. Don't go to law
unless you are forced to and have
something to lose. In any business
never wade in where you cannot
see bottom. Put no dependence in
the label of q bag, and count money
before yengiv a receipt for it. See
the sack before you buy what's in
it, for he who trades in the dark
asks to be cheated"

LATBvURh ron STATE NENATOR.


George r. Laybourn, of Duluth,
a leading member of the house, ap
peared at the Office of the secretary
of state this morning and filed his
affidavit as candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for senator in
the Fifty-frst district It is now
represented by Senator c. O. Bald
win, democrat
Mr.. Laybourn is the author of the
bill providing for the tax commits
sion. He strongly endorses the
bill it proposes, with one exception,
the change in vessel taxation. He
said today:
"The commission has changed
our present law taxing vessels reg
istered in Minnesota three cents a
ton, and places them on an ad val
orem basis. That would be all
right if the vessels had to register
in Minnesota, but they have the
choice of any port on the great
lakes. There are 288 vessels now
registered at Duluth. They have d
tonnage of $4,000 tons, and pay $1O,:
600 In taxes, half of which goes to
the state. If they are taxed as 9th:
er property, they will register here
after at West Superior, Marquette,
or ports on the other lakes. That
would be a great blow to Duluth.
Not only do these vessels advertise
Duluth, but they usually winter
where they register. and they spend
a great deal of money With us:: The
state will gain nothing by this
change, aud do not believe it will
be made. i
"The provision for taxation of the
mines is all right. The best senti-
nent of St. Louis county is in favor
of the bill as submitted. 1t does
not favor tonnage tax, which the
commission advocates in it's report.
The bill is great improvement on
existing laws. With the exception
of vessel taxation, I am very we'll
satisfied. 1t has been objected to
for various reasons. The practice
of sending out printed lists of ass
essments is obnoxious to many, but
[ believe it is all right" e..
Mr.. Laybourn favors a caucus,
but aprees with tho snoolxor k5;n
wanting it deferred to Tuesday
night. or even Wednesday,. He
thinks there can be no objcct:in
holding a caucus Monday night,

The story is being told at the expense
of a local milkman. He was out driv-
ing one day recently in neighboring
town when he sighted COW in the field
which attracted his attention. No
sooner had he seen the beast than he
became possessed with desire to add
her to his herd. What seemed to i'm
press him the most was the excellent
condition of a calf which was hitched
nearby. Certainly a COW that can keep
a calf in as good condition as this must
be good one, he reasoned, and imme-
diately made the owner of the COW q
large offer. The offer was accepted and
he drove the COW home. He was some

that she was not giving milk at all and

seen near her was due to other reasons
He will ask more questions the next
time he makes a purchase.

TO congratulate himself on his naviga-
ting qualities when he pumped into q

several generations of the skunk fam

by several gentle hints persuaded hin
that his room was better than his com

Having fcreclosed on the right AMI

and returned to the cottage via the

of the boarders that he had arrived.
The young mans star had set. He was
no longer the prize pumpkin in the

went right by him and he didn't catch
any. In fact, nobody wanted him to

was shorn of the glory. He stood the
social tabooing for some little time
then packed his grip sack end depart
