Must Have Our Butter.

The state dairy and food department
has received information that large
Eastern butter dealers are negotiating
for the butter of Minnesota creameries.
A representative of a Brooklyn firm in
visit at the Office of the department in
St. Paul, stated that his firm has come
In competition with Minnesota butte,
in the Eastern markets and has decid.
ed that to keep its trade it must handle
the Minnesota product.
The firm authorized the representa-.
tive to pay at least cent pound more
than the market price for all the butter
he could buy. The representative left
on visit to the principal creamerics of
the state with the intention of buying
up the visible supply. The agent
said that the firm had never before
bought any butter in the West, but
that it intended hereafter to make
Minnesota it's principal market.

A SAFE RULE.

It is not bad plan to DO all that you can
In your chosen particular line
And If progress is slow, and there's little
to show
For your work, not to whimper and
whine.
It is better to creep than fall short in
leap,
You will come out all right if you stay;
You are bound to succeed if this warning
YOU heed
Keep pegging away!
Up a fortune in no time-that's true;
You'll observe that he's struck in rich
streak of luck
And you'll think that might happen to
YOU.
But you would advance you must not
trust to chance;
You will find as a rule it won't pay;
Just slow, steady pace is the best in LIES
Keep pegging away!
If you're willing to climb just a step at a
time
You are more apt to get to the top.
1Aere is many stroke to the fall of an oak
And the stone is worn through drop by
DROP
It's a proverb that haste is conducive to
waste,
And that Rome was not built in day.
II you don't go too fast you will get there
at last.
Keep pegging away!

If the project to exhume the remains
of James Smithson at Genoa, where a

they were inferred in 1920, to transport
them to Washington and to give them
honorable sculpture on the grounds of

lands and Percys are extinct and for

said that. The titles of the Northum M
berlands and Percys are not yet ex-
tinct, but they are of exceedingly lit
tie consequence now to either Britain
or the world and have not the slight

son. Nevertheless, James Macie was
of the best blood of England on both
sides. His character was excellent, his
aspect noble. He was singularly proud
of the blood which ran in his veins.
though it came to him by no lawful in
heritance, and his position became to
him one of such bitterness that he re-
solved to establish his name, in man
ner as useful as it was brilliant, in the
free land beyond the seas. The fact
that he had never seen America and
had no tie whatever with this country
did not deter him from sending

His bequest of his fortuneafter the
death Of nephew, who died without
an heir, to establish at Washington an
institution for the increase and diff
fusion of knowledge among men was
an astonish1neht to the world, and par
ticularly to the Americans, who took
several years to accustom themselves
to the notion and provide for the
foundation. of the institution he had
decreed. There was nothing, how
ever, really astonishing in the bequest.
Smithson cared more for science than
he did for anything else. He was q
passionate investigator and a really
great collector. He knew that the
terms of his bequest, which had in
view nothing less than universal en-
lightenment, could be carried out in
this country in manner more sincere
and untrammeled than in Europe. So
he sent his money here and good use
has surely been made of it. i

fcent institution. Nothing could be

Seeminoly Wrongful.

The annual meeting of the state
normal school board, held at the CAPT.
toll developed some interesting educa-
tional discussion. The presidents of
the five schools presented reports, all
of which were full of meat. The last
one, by President Millspaugh of WI
mona, called attention to the state law
which discriminates against grad
yates of the normal schools. It pro-
vides that principals of graded and
semi-graded schools must be grad
yates of the advanced course in the
normal schools, or must hold a pro-
fessional or first grade certificate.
The high school graduate who goes
right to teaching can get first grade
certificate in year, but the graduate
of an elementary course in normal
school, which takes much longer,
must pass rigid examination and
take a year of teaching before being
eligible.

MR. BRYAN ABROAD,

M. Bryan's visit to Great Britain
has been followed with the keenest
interest by his fellow-Americans. 1t
has been most interesting to observe
how the English public received him
and how he bore himself in meeting
our cousins across the water. Natu-
rally, man who has been twice the
candidate of one of the great political
parties for President of the United
States, and whose career in politics
has been meteOric, would attract GU
riosity and interest in the minds of
the older branch of the Anglo Saxon
race on the occasion of his first trip
abroad.
All accounts agree on two points
first, that Mr.. Bryan has given amost
excellent account of himself, and.
secondly, that the British public has
been delighted with him. As an all
round speaker he has extraordinary
gifts, in the cultivation of which he
has had training not enjoyed by
any other American. His eloquence
has made him a lion at the public
affairs in his honor. His ease, sense
of humor and amiability have sur
prised public which not improbably
thought of him as sort of political
roughrider. Mr.. Bryan has never
allowed his earnestness in his chosen
role OF champion of the down-trodden
to make him atrabillious in his view
of life, nor has reverse imbittered his
natural good temper Our Ambassa-
dor at the Court of st. James, the
versatile and amiable Mr.. Choate, has
had personal charge of Mr. Bryan's
London visit, and we are told that
their progress through the city was
in the nature of an ovation. The En-
glish newspapers, following out the
policy of cordiality toward everybody
and everything American, have recor-
ded Mr.. Bryan's movements in q
spirit of the warmest appreciation.
In fact, from every point of view, the
Nebraskan's visit to England has
been a marked success.
Those who have been against Mr..
Bryan and the course upon which the
Democratic party debauched under
