One of the mistakes of women
kind is in not knowing how to eat,
writes a thoughtful observer Of
women. II a man is not to be fed
when she is, she thinks q cup Of
tea or anything handy is good
enough. II she needs to save
money she does it at the butchers
cost. II she is busy she will no t
waste time IN eating. II che is un-
happy she goes without food A
man eats il the undertaken inter-
rupts, and he is right. A woman
will choose ice cream instead Of
beaf-steak and a man will not. An
other of her mistakes i, in not
knowing how to rest. II Sue is
tired she may sit down, but she will
darn stockings, crochet shawls,
embro,der duilies. She doesn't
know that hard work tires. II she
: is exhausted she will write letters
Or figure her accounts. She would
laugh at you if you limited that
reading or writing could fail to rest
her. AL! over The country women's
hospitals flourish because women
do not know how to rest. Another
mistake on the list is their constant
worrying. Worry aud hurry are
their enemies, and yet they hug
them to their bOsoms.

is no need to be alarmed or to keep
children off the streets for fear of
attacks from it. 1t is an instrument for
detecting and correcting all errors of
refraction of the eyes. No guessing,
this instrument will not only detect
and CORE ct all errors of refraction, but
will also tell both patient and operator
beyond question when the eye is pro-
perly fitted. DIR. Harris has purchased
this machine to use in his extensive

New Court House.

Tuesday promptly at $3.50 o'clock, and
just as advertised the county commits
sioners opened the bids for the new
court house. We were present at the
time and so were the several bidders
whose names are given below, and in
conversing with the bidders afterwards
weswere told by every one of them that
they had never seen letting that was
SO absolutely fair and impartial, and in
nearly every case the bidder took occa-
sion to compliment Gay county upon its
efficient set Of commissioners and its
county auditor. The following are the
bids:
+. @. Narlander, ST. Paul SCI $50

LICK q Prince, Minneapolis 1896
j. n. Nickel, ST Paul ~ 57,357
The Gross Construction Company
being the lowest bidder were awarded
the contract The building is to be i
combination of Portage Entryand Kettle
River stone. Mr.. F. II. Chaplin, the
gentlemanly representative Of the
Menominee Brick Co, of Minneapolis,
made splendid argument to have the
commissioners choose brick. He is
certainly an expert salesman, but our
commissioners realizing that we do not
expect to ever build another court house
very wisely chose the stone. Had the
commissioners decided to use brick
there is but little doubt but Mr. Chaplin
would have secured the contract,
IN conversation with Mr., Gross he
informs the reporter that he expects to
to begin upon his contract next week
and to have the building all inclosed by
December /, 1903.
Hess and Ran, of Watertown, secured
the contract for the heating plant.
