Fungf That Look Like Birds Nests.
The Rev. y. S. Wilson contributes
to knowledge an article on Vegetable
Mimicry," iii which lie says: odd re-
semblanccs to various objects, which
can only be regarded as accidental CO.
incdenccs, are presented by num-
bcr of fungi. There is the Jew's-ear
fungus, which grows OH stumps of the
elder, and is SO named from its un-
mistakable likeness TO a human ear.
The Coasters arc culiously like star
fish; AScroe has an extraordinary re-
scmblance, both in form and color, to
Il sea ancmone; equally remarkable is
the likeness to birds nest seen in
species OF Crucibulum. Cyatllus and
Nidularia. Though most of these are
too small to impose OH one, the re.
semblance is singularly exact, and
large specimen might almost pass for
the nest Of some small bird, the eggs
heing admirably represented by the lit
tie oval fruits Of the fungus. Even in
such eases We must not too rashly con.
cildp that the resemblance confers no
advantage. The existence Of attractive
cllaracttttsss--in so many fungi points

Considerable force is being brought
to hear on the voters to cause them to

nominee for district judge, and lltera-

ODIN HALDEN,
The Present and the Next County
Auditor, st. Louis County.

Voters who wish to insure the cleo
ton of President Roosevelt in 1904,
should begin their fight now by elect
ing Republican congressman. Prob
ably there is not the slightest doubt
in the mind of any Republican about
the desirability of supporting this gai-
liant young president who is giving so
much of his youth and energy and
Judgment to the service of his country.
Grover Cleveland, in recent interview,
said that sit is of the utmost import
ance to Democratic success in 1904 that
the Democratic party eject every con-
gresham possible in 1902" A Demo-
cratic majority in the house could and
would defeat the efforts of the admin
istration, as it did in 1890 when the
Democrats defeated an attempt to pass

The Democratic opposition to Gov.
Van SAINT has been very characteristic
of Democratic methods. Not finding
anything in the state affairs to make
a howl over, the managers of the cam
paign have turned their attention to
personalities, with the result of stam-
ped1ng the voters in the direction of
the Republican camp. After branding
the governor as a tax dodger, the st.
Paul Globe has been compelled to swal-
low all the filth and rot it has been
dishing out to it's readers on that sub
ject. The governor produced tax re-
ceipts sufficient to cause the Globes
eyes to start from their sockets, and
Notwithstanding the fact that retrac-
ton of the libelous trash has been

hood to make the same before cleo

man above all others that the voters
of the Eighth district should send to
congress.
This is Republican year. The pro-
gress of events proclaims it. But the

The Republican ticket is going to be
elected, and we are going to have Re-
publican county officers as well as

interested in seeing this result should

is important that there should be a
large vote. The Eighth district should
rot only send j. Adam Bede to congress
but it should send him there with a
tremendous majority to show that the
people are back of him. Every Repub-
lean voter should go to the polls and
see that every other Republican voter
goes there. If this is done, Mr.. Bede
will be elected by the biggest majority
ever given a candidate for congress
in the counties comprising the Eighth
district, and he will go down to Wash
ington, full of the sense that he has the
confidence of the people, and there he
will work faithfully for his district, and
will vote to uphold the president.

The entire Republican ticket will be

county. Van SAINT will have a larger

A vote for Van SAINT means vote
for continued prosperity and a govern
ment for the people, and not for Jim
Hill and the Northern Securities COM
pany. In our opinion it will take more
than Jim Hills barrel to down Van
SAINT this year, and although the top
has been knocked out on several occa-
sions recently, the people will stand for
no Rosing. Money may be the most
potent factor in politics, but not in
Minnesota, where people are educated
enough to know a good thing when
they see it. The Republican admins
tration is good thing, and will be con-
tlnued. Bet your money on Van SAINT.
