The real typical American girl is not
society girl. Portraits typifying her
as such are untrue. She has her social
diversions; she has her parties and
picnics and her social merry go round
OF pleasure, but they are not her life,
they are moro incidents Of her life,
for her life 10 work or course, there
are girls who have nothing to do but
to amuse themselves year in and year
out. Pictures Of these girls. with their
kind, In festive gear, in full dress, in
golf clothes and in yachting rigs. are
doubtless TYPICAL of the class But
the entire class does not number one
hundred thousand among seventy mil
lion people, and members Of this
leisure class are merely flies on the
wheel. Typical Americans must be
drawn in their working clothes IL the
drawings represent the type. So the
typical American girl will not be found
In her party dress. though she wears
1t becomingly and with real grace
when the occasion demands but
rather she will be found in her work
ing clothes. In her working clothes
be they of the kitchen the factory,
the shop. the Office, the household or
the schoolroom-she Is as real as God
Intended her to be. But, mark you,
even then the chief point about her is
that she knows how to wear her
frocks, knows how to dress tastefully
at q sma IL expopditura and that what
ever her work, she Is at pains and is
ambitious to make herself look well.
And she succeeds. Whatever her sta
ton, you will be pretty sure to find
girl worth looking at The true type
Of the American girl will always show
pretty young woman attractively
dressed.
The typical American girl, then, Is
one who Is charming and cookbook
ing, who lives in the spirit of fraterni-
ty and who works for a living. But
in this connection the word living"
does not mean board and keep" 1t
means living in the broadcast sense OF
the word-growing, aspiring, becom-
ing. The American girl who works
with her hands does so only that she
may rise to better condition of soul
and mind and heart 1t Is not the
bread-and- problem that is max
ing a wage-earner Of the American
girl. Fathers and brothers can take
care Of that. 1t Is the soul problem
how to live; how to get all the best out
of civilization; how to grow in grace.
Young men are not the only beings
who shall "see visions" The Amer
lean girl also sees visions, and she is
fired with an ambition as restless as
her brother's.-William Allen White, in
Womans Home Companion.

A careful examina ton OF the trees
that are struck by lightning shows that
over half OF them are poplar. From
this fact scientists conclude that the
poplar has some value as a conductor
OF lightning, Therefore agriculturists
are advised to plant these trees in ths
vicinity OF their farm buildings.

Professor Samuel T. Langley's fifteen
foot model aerodrome, which had its
first fight at Whitewater, Va, recently,
is about fifteen feet long from stem to
stern and nearly as wide between the
tips Of the wings, says the New York
World. It's body is composed mainly
Of an intricate network of delicate steel
rods supporting the motor, cylinders
and apparatus extending to the pro-
pellers and steering gear. This por-
ton contains also the apparatus for

by four feet wide. They are made Of
the finest oil silk stretched tight over
an exceedingly light but durable wood
en- frame. When set for sailing they
have a somewhat tentlike form, being
considerably elevated in the center
OF these wings there are four, two
on each side. Behind the front set of
wings are situated the two propellers,
one on each side. These are of the
finest steel and have two blades, each
about two feet long.
The motor, which generates some
thing in excess of two horse power, is
stationed near the center Of the body.
At the rear of this central structure
the steering gear is attached. This is
made of material very much like the
wings and has four blades. 1t can be
turned with ease in any direction,
guiding the air ship just as a rudder di-
reefs the course of marine vessel.

RACES AT The STATE FAIR
A Fine Lot of Speedy Horses to be
on Hand.

The r.cing at the Minnesota State
Fair of 1903, which opens on August
81 st. will be of the best. When the
race entry list for the fair of l9O2 was
made public, it was pronounced by
the highest sporting authorities the
larg est list and the best collection OF
horses ever made up for a western
racing meet and quite the equal OF
the eastern grand circuit lists of that
year, 1t was generally thought that
such list 3ould not again be gotten
together.
But the entry list for 1903 which
Was announced recently by Sec. b.
w. Randall surpasses that Of 1907
both in number and quality of horses
entered. Last year the names OF 23O
horses appeared upon the list; this
year over 26O horses have been en-
tered. They represent the best
things in leading stables from Mani
toba TO the Gulf of Mexico, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
The list is in fact most remark
able one. For the great lib class
pacing race on St. Paul day, ior
which the purse is $1,000, there are
actually forty-o1e entries of horses
AS far as konwn this is the largest en-
try for a single race ever made in the
West. Such list insures an enorm-
Gus field of starters and one of the
most exciting races ever seen Oh a
race track. Not less interesting will
be the $1,000 trot on Minneapolis
Day, in which there are twenty ght
entries. This will be a fine race
though perhaps with fewer starters.
Of the ten 81 200 dollar races none
have less than ten entries, while a
good many of them have from twen-
ty to twenty eight. There is also
splendid representation in the two
free.for all races for Minnesota horses
to be driven by their owners.
In addition to these great races
there will be the star attraction of all

MAIL DELIVERING DEVICE.
Automatic Machine Designed Espe-

Automatic Machine Designed Espe-
cia11y For Rural Service.
Nelson S. Howell of Cumming. Madi
son county, Ia, has a working model
eighty rods long of an automatic mail
delivery and collection apparatus,
which is built according to device
which he recently had patented and is
working satisfactorily, says dispatch
from Red Oak, Ia. to the Chicago Rec
ord Herald. 1t is designed especially
for rural mail service, supplanting car
riers, but seems to be capable of devel-
Opment to an extent that would do
away with many of the country post
offices and centralize the handling of
mail to a great extent, eXpediting the
service, reducing the number of car
riers and clerks and greatly reducing
expense.
The apparatus consists Of an endless
cable, carried on poles and delivering
and collecting mail by clockwork. The
cable in line thirty miles long can
be operated by a one and half horse
power gasoline engine, and the cable
can be operated at speed which will
permit as many deliveries in day as
are desired. The power is applied by
drum. The deliveries are regulated au-
tomatically. For instance, If there are
fifty patrons on the endless chain route
the mail pouch of No. / drops at his
mail box, while the other forty-nine
pouches are carried on, each dropping
at its respective place. The collections
are also made automatically. The ap-
paratus is not intricate and does not
readily get out Of order.

"No place to Co."

G.. S. Pease in "Street Gossip" in
The Anoka Union say:
Standing on a prominent street
corner in Anoka pleasant night this
spring, watching the crowd moving
and hurryipg along, some on business,
some for exercise, others shopping, l
was accosted by several young men.
and one of them remained after the
others had passed on He proceeded
to read me lecture from a young
fellows standpoint, and this is nearly
what he said: Look here, Mr.. News
paper Man, ia like you to tell me
where the young of Anoka can spend
their evenings, unless it is in the sa-
looms or few stores. There isn't
single place for us to go excepting
dance occasionally. There are no
parties where the yourg people of
both sexes can meet and get better
acquainted. There are but few enter
tainments provided, and you can
howl until you are hoarse about the
pace some of the boys are going.
Nothing is done to stop them. They
are allowed to shift for themselves,
and if one falls by the way the peo
pie hold up their hands and exclaim,
Amt it shame?' and yet we are
wholly 70 blame?"
Several newspapers throughout the
state have commented upon the a.
bove and most of them agree that
there is much truth in what "the old
man" says. It is an old saying shat
what everybody says must be true"
However, the Free Press takes no
stock in the views set forth by the
young man who expressed himself to
"Street Gossip" The young man
who "has no place to go" is not gen.
orally looking for the right kind of a
place to go. The youth who has the
proper conception of life does not
drift into questionable places, nor
does he have to complain of the lack
of proper places in which to spend
his leisure hours. 1t is doubtful if
anyone ever heard Abraham Lincoln
fret or complain because he had "no
place to 60" James A. Garfield did
not worry over the lack of place to
spend his leisure moments. Andrew
Carnegie, when young man, did not
have to idle away his spare time in
places where liquor was dispensed
The late Alexander Ramsey never
gave expression to such sentiments as
were allowed to escape from the
young man who was interviewed by
"Street Gossip" There are hundreds
OF men in tire professions and in bust
hess who did not suffer for the want
of some place to go when their days
work was done. Their spare time
was proitshly spent and now they are
reaping the rich reward of those days
when they knew how, when and
where to go.
Young men, do not be led away
from the right idea by false phi loso

TO INCORPORATE
MUCH DISCUSSED rlATTER TAX
EN- UP BY COUNCIL.
The Ordinance Passed Its First Read
ing Last Night. --WiII Be Read
Again Next Week and if 1t
Passed Will Have Its Third
Reading at Regular Meeting
Sept. a.

After discussion by the citizens
of Morris for several years, the coun-
Gil at their meeting last night took
the first s cps necessary to re,incor-
ate the village of Morris as city
under the general law of 1895.
The proposition has been under
discussion by the Commercial Club
for some time and has also been dis
cussed by the citizens generally for a
good many years, and while all have
recognized that our charter was out
of date and undesirable on account of
the ambiguity of many Of its provi-
sions, its limited scope, yet the mat
ter OF 9 incorporating was never so
mucn discussed as of late. Hence
this action by the council.
The stops necessary to re incorpor-
ate are comparatively simple. The
council must first pass an ordinance
for re-incorporation, and after this
has been published, thirty days no.
tice is then given to the citizens of
the village of a special election on
the question of ratifying the ordi'
nance of re-incorporation. After
this special election is held, the
village is then re-incorporated, and
the rest of the transactions are pure
ly formal.
Following are the principal prov
ions of the ordinance passed by the
council last night:
Sec. |. Be it ordained by the will
age Council of the village of Morris,
municipal corporation, duly organ
lied AMI existing under and by virtue
of the Special Laws of 1881, and the
several acts amendatory thereof, that
the said village Of Morris e-incorpor-
ate into a city under and in accor-
dance with the provisions of Chapter
8, General Laws of the State of MINI
esota for the year 1896, and the sever
al acts amendatory thereof
Sec. 2. 1t is hereby declared that
the population of the said village of
Morris as appears from the various
cencus reports and statistics exceeds
two thousand people,
Sec. 3. That the corporate name of
said village ofMorlis as thus re-incor=
porated into city be the City of Nor
ris,
Sec. 4. That the territory to be
embraced within the said City of
Morris be ideDtically the same and
co extensive with the territory now
composing and embraced within the
limits of the present village of Morris
The ordinance will be given it's
second reading next Friday night
and if it again passes will again
come up Friday evening, Sept. A.
