CLEO AND MULES.

The cleo bill passed the lower house
of congress by small margin of forty
four votes thereby accomplishing the
first step in establishing one of the most
inexcusable pieces of class legislation
that has ever found its way onto the
national statute books. Under the
guise of preventing fraudulent imita-
ton of butter congressman who thought
they We're promoting the interests of
rural constituents have voted to kill the
oleomargarine industry by placing a
prohibitive tax upon the product when
colored yellow. The weakness that the
bill exhibited in committee and con-
gress predicts for it certain death at
the hands of the senate, but neverthe-
less a majority of the members Of con-
gress have gone on record as favoring
class measure of which they should be
ashamed
Oleomargarine, like butter, is colored
to make II saleable. Nine -tenths of all
the butter made, If placed on the tables
of first-class hotels or dining cars in its
natural state, uncolored in the manu-
facture, would be rejected by the pub
lie taste. Butter and cheese makers
everywhere are compelled to add harm
less coloring preparations to their prod
uct to give it the rich yellow color that
the market demands. oleo, which is
used for the same purpose as butter,
must be colored in the same way as
butter to be saleable, and the bill just
passed thru the lower house is designed

Jolly Sleigh Riders.

h Last Friday evening Rev. Hig-
gins took occasion to take the
members Of the Christian En-
.deavor Society and some Of their
friends out to Mr.. Hinchy's
camp for a sleigh ride. It was a
glorious evening, and we knew
as soon as we started out that
we were going to have a glorious
time. And a glorious time had
we. Probably never in the his
tory of Bemidji has there been a
sleigh ride at which every one
had as good a time as at the one
above named. In fact, every one
had a splendid time, and 1T was
the best sleigh ride that ever
happened. !" There were twenty
two persons in all, and by the
time we had all gathered at the
rink the sleigh was there and the
team started off at $50 sharp.
The sleigh was very large one,
but strange to say, it was SO
crowded that some Of the boys
actually had to hold onto some of
the girls to keep from falling off,
AT least, that is the way they tell
1t. a happier crowd never ex-
listed than did we on our way to
the camp. Every song that has
ever been heard Of was sung, and
once Id while the question,
What's the matter with the
Chris tian End deavor?" " would ring
out on the night air, and then the
answer, .sThey re all right,
would come back from the throats
of the twenty two Of these meek
eyed End eavorers. The distance
to the camp seemed very short
to this happy crowd, and We
were loath to leave the Sleigh,
but the welcome given us by the
lumberjacks SO eclipsed the

writes: II have been meeting a young
man for some time whom I admire
very much, but with whom 1 am not
acquainted. AS he does not associ-
ate with any of my friends, would
like TO know the best way to secure an
introduction to him. This is easy,
Dear Miss. If your heart yearns to
exchange gush words with him, waste
no time in hunting referee to do the
introduce act. Delays are dangerous.
The next time you meet him. look at
him fondly between the eyes and
throw out two eyesfull Of goo-goo
drops, winking both optics conyul-
sively. If he is too shy to speak then,
throw both arms around his neck and
hang on until his tongue wabbles.
There is no more effective method Of
becoming acquainted, and this hunt
ing around for third party wastes
too much valuable time.

that Mr.. Street does not want,
and it is doubtful if he would
accept nomination to that office

the other hand, that he would

accept the nomination as candi-
