that new receipts were welcomed with
great satisfaction by them. Mrs. Hill.
lerxquoting from her interesting article
written for the Houselxeeper, said the
chatting dish was not modern dish in
anything except it's perfection, but
dated it's origin back to the time of
Louis XIV, claiming that dishes similar
in every respect have been excavated in
the ruins Of Pompeii. These were of
heavy bronze, highly ornamented and
doubtless operated by means Of olive
oil. The chatting dish program, as
demonstrated, included recipes for the
following:
Oysters in brown sauce, Holsters la
Newburg, smothered mushrooms, grilled
sardines, shrimps with peas. Mrs.
Hitler added to these, as a courtesy to
her audience. recipes for German toast,
apricot sauce and dried beet with cream
sauce.

ANONYMOUS WRITER
THREATENS KUGLER
Says He Must Repair Cloquet River
Bridge If He Would Be Re-
elected,

County Commissioner F. W. Kugler
is in receipt of an anonymous letter
telling him that If he expects to run
for office again he had better get to
work and have the Cloquet river
bridge repaired at once. The writer
says he and many others have had
narrow escapes from accident because
the bridge is down. He adds that if
the bridge is not repaired soon the
county will have suits on it's hands,
etc.
II don't see," said Mr.. Kugler, why
a man cannot come out in the open
and say what he feels. There is al
ways something undetermined In ar
anonymous letter. One is struck at
but doesn't know who delivered the
blow. If the writer had only known it,
I had already heard of the conditions
of the bridge and taken the necessary
steps to have the damage repaired.
But there is a certain routine method
of doing business in county affairs
and it is necessary to start things in,
: the approved form. = The writer says
he has heard that I am disposed to
turn down the people out toward the
Cloquet river because, as he says, they
did not vote for me. This is unjust to
me and wholly without foundation"

JUDGE J. c. NETHAWAY
PAYS DULUTH A VISIT
Saltwater Man Thinks Democrats May
Prevail Upon Lind to Run for
Governor Again.

Judge J. C. Nethaway Of Saltwater is
at the st. Louis. He has come up to
look after the estate of former Still
water man, Myron J. McKusick. who
owned real estate in Superior.
"Myron j. McKusick,'' said the judge,
was a bookkeeper for the Northwest
ern Thresher company OF my town, and
he invested about $4,000 in Superior real
estate some years ago. The taxes are
paid on the property but thus far we
have been unable to find any Of the late
Mr.. McKusick's papers. A year ago he
went to Phoenix, Ariz., for his health,
but he was afflicted with consumption
and died there. have come up at the
request Of his father and brother to in
vestigate the matter.
Politics? Well, it is a little bit early
for that subject to come up. No,
don't think Rosing will again be can
didate for governor, but shall not be
surprised If the democrats prevail on
John Lind to run again. It is popularity
supposed that Mr.. Lind has his eye on
seat in the United States senate and
1t might seem to him like a good way
to get there" -
But the Minnesota legislature is sure
to be republican and they would not
elect a democrat, would they?" was
Il don't know about that" said
Judge Nethaway with a smile, 'Mr.
Lind made some. very good; republican
speeches in Minneapolis last fall. No,
sir, you can't tell what he will do"

The misf1t Of men and their occu-

popular remark. It Is only the rare

might be complete success.
But how is he to find that place?
How is he to recognize it even If by

This gravest of all problems gets the
least practical attention. Circum-

it's graduates the requirements and the
reasonable expectations In the var

through the first few years carrying
crows.
OF course there is the possibility that
the university faculties themselves
have no idea what their graduates are
good for. In aiming to fit men for
everything it is possible that they end
in fitting them for nothing.
Certainly something is needed that
will cause the young men to pause and
give this vital question the thought it
deserves and which higher success in
| life imperatively demands.
Lack Of such thought has filled the
world with misfits that before the
prime is passed sink into failures.

POSTPONED LABOR DAY PICNIC,

The local Labor Day committee failed
to fix it up with the weather man with
the result that it rained all day Mon
day. It was the first bad Labor Day
In seven years. At no previous time
were greater preparations made for the
celebration Of the day. Almost every
store in the city was closed, and every
union had arranged to participate In
the parade with its full quota Of men,
bers. The rain, however, compelled the
committee to declare everything off.
The parade idea has been abandoned,
but the picnic will be held tomorrow
at Union Grove.
The Labor World wishes to impress
upon every friend Of labor in the city
the necessity Of attending the picnic to-
morrow. The resources Of the Trades
Assembly and the Building Trades
Council from the dues Of the local un-
ions are insufficient to pay the current
expenses of both bodies. They depend
A1A 6C1y upCu Lilc IeCe1pLS Oh the LABOR
Day celebration to carry them through
the year. In order that both central
bodies shall continue to carry on the
good work for which they organized
they must have successful day to-
morrow. Let every union man attend
with his family. The people Of Du-
luth should know something of the
growth Of organized labor during the
past year. The only way to demon
strate this is for each union to be we'll
represented at the picnic There will
be a band concert, and all sorts of in
nocent an1usements in keeping with
the day. The location of the grounds,
and the close watchfulness Of the COM
noittee is sufficient assurance that no
rowdyism will be tolerated.
1t is the hope of this paper that moth
Ing will occur to mar the pleasures of
the day and if every union man In Du-
luth does his duty the Trades Assem-
bly, and Building Trades Council will
come out of a bad box with money to
their credit.
