Every time Lieutenant Hobson sees a
new girl or calls on a family where there
is a manageable daughter, the society
reporters cannot sleep nights.
The United States supreme court has
ruled that a man is not intoxicated when
he is what is known in the talk of the
street as dead to the world" Those
bright intellects who keep staggering
drunk for three months running, and then
take "cure" for few weeks intermis-
sion, are not, then, intoxicated. Permit
US to express polite incredulity.
While Editor Reed of Hawley, MINI,
was trying to snatch little repose the
other night, lightning slapped his house,
tackling everything from the top Of the
chimney to the potato bin in the cellar.
The Crookston Journal says he thought
at first that some irate citizen had come
to interview him concerning a roast. The
baby slept thru it all, however, and as he
had an insurance policy, he turned over
and slept the balance of the night. Light
ming can't jolt an editor.
Bemidji chronicles the advent of new
legal light in the person of G. M. Tor

w. H. Lyon complimented the editor with
large cantaloup Thursday. Says he has All

Every time a few Of the Macedonian
bandits are wiped out by the Turks, it

The Adrian Democrat man tells Of the
time when he was pushed up against
something pretty loud. One evening after
supper he secured a little varnish Of the
drug man and proceeded to go over the
woodwork Of his house. He thought he
detected an odor, and he noticed that the
rest Of the family left the house and did
not come back. People going by took the
other side of the street, and the health
office officials were seen looking around in
the alley. The stuff went on easily and
had fine shine, but its noise was the
noise of many waters. The next morn
ing he examined the WOODWORK ana 1Ound

had also assembled itself into loud roar
that completely drowned out German
cheese in the next block. The Democrat
man says:
The whole house seemed to need burial per-
NIT. So quietly carried the varnsh back
to the druggist, and after careful smell he
said he had made mistake and given fish
oil. And the fish it made of died years be-

The house was left open for some days,
and the oil finally gave up, but while it
lasted it was a whole Wagner overture.
p. S.-Always taste your varnish before
slapping it on
