The absent list is long one at the
public schools these days on account of
the prevalence of grip among the school
| children. The disease generally takes the
form this year Of a severe cold, but as a
rule is not attended with the serious re-
| suits which have followed its visitation in
the past. Scholars suffering from grip are
kept out of school, on an average, about
a week. Teachers also are falling victims
to influenza up to date. Few cases of
| diphtheria, scarlet fever or other con-
| tagious diseases are reported. .
Frank Holmes single man residing at
the McHenry farm near this city, has just

his estate consists of 800 acres in Colora-
do and a life insurance policy. Holmes
was injured by a fall few weeks ago,
and, imagining that he was nearing his
end made his will in the girls favor be-
cause he was acquainted with them and
considered them mice girls He Is still
able to be about his work and the girls
think there is little reason to fear that he
will die soon.

POLITICS BEHIND IT
The Appointment of F. N. Stacy to
Aid in Checking up Revolv-
ing Fund.
Question Raised as to Why a Dem
oerat With Aspirations Should
Have Been Named.

Politics appears to have been behind the
appointment Of F. N. Stacy as assistant to
Il. S. Dickey in the prospective checking
up of the permanent improvement reVolv-
ing fund for deficit. It is regarded as
somewhat significant that a former demo-
cratic candidate for controller should have
been commissioned to assist Mr.. Dickey
in looking over the controllers books in
order to find the deficit and to suggest
corrections in the system under which
such a shortage has been made possible.
Mr. Stacy is known to be still casting
longing eyes upon the controllers office.
The democratic majority on the commit
tee on accounts of public officials was
quick to realize the golden opportunity to
groom Mr.. Stacy for the controllership
That is doubtless the reason why Alder
men Lars Rand, pete Mccoy, James
Dwyer and Westphal were so insistent
upon Stacys appointment.
Mr.. Stacy's Duties.
Mr.. Stacy's duties were not clearly de-
fined. Mr.. Dickey, it appears, is to check
up the revolving fund, and in vague way
it was understood that Mr.. Stacy would be
of as much assistance possible anG
take an occasional look into some Other
city department. The main object, OF
course, is, to fathom. the extent and nature
of the revolving fund deficit, the investi.
being merely an afterthought apparently
not intended to bear fruit. Mr.. Roger:
evidently suspected that there was polit
ical move on when Stacy's name was men
toned, for he promptly instructed his sub
ordinates not to pay any attention tt
Stacy when he came around, and thus fa
| the latter has not ventured into the con
trollers office. Alderman Mccoy say
that it was with the idea of making tn,
| investigation appear non-partiZan tina
both the republican and democratic par
ties were represented in the appointment
of Messrs. Dickey and Stacy.
No Money to Defray Expenses.
It has been disclosed since the commit
tee meeting that there is no money in tn
! mayors and councils current expens
fund from which the council appropriate,
4 the 800 with which to conduct the inves
tigation. What the council probably ha,
/ in mind was the council contingent fund
There was $1,500 available in this fund
from which $3.50 was recently appropriate
I for the benefit of the chicken and ca
show, leaving $3.50 on hand. Anothe
resolution will be necessary in order t
straighten out affairs.

DOUBLE ENTRY CARS PUMPED HIMSELF OUT
After Saving His Own Life a Doc.
tor Attends a Social
Function. i

The story is told of well-known uni
versity medical professor, who, while on
his way to a social function in st. Paul
Saturday evening, suddenly recollected
that, instead of taking grip medicine just
before starting, he had probably swal
lowed a large dose Of a strong solution
of arsenic. He was several blocks on
his way when his mind suddenly checked
up in this unusual fashion without any
thing to suggest that he had made such
a frightful mistake, unless it was the
fact that the arsenic refused to sit as
lightly upon his stomach as the grip an
tidote Anyway, the man Of science sud
denly had a mental vision of himself
reaching into the wrong shelf in the cup
board and doping himself with the
wrong bottle. -
All these reflections passed through his
mind like a flash. He concluded that he
was in need of prompt medical attend
ance and he Immediately detailed himself
on the case. His next move was to stop
the car and hurry to the patients resi-
dence by a car bound in the opposite di-
rection, which fortunately happened along
at that moment. Feeling the patients
pulse the while, the doctor concluded tnat
the poison hadn't got in its deadly work
! yet although, with grave shake of the
head, he admitted that the dose was large
enough to kill five men. Then he con-
suited his watch to see how long he had
| to live or prolong life.
II must get that drug out of my stom-
ach in the next three minutes" was his
mental calculation, "or I'm a, dead man.
Arrived at his residence he rushed un-
tremendously into his room, after inform.
ing the family that he had a poison case
to attend to, and vigorously applied the
stomach pump.
The pump did the business and satisfied
that there was no longer any arsenic te
speak of in his system, the professor cool
ly proceeded to ST. Paul, where, aftel
having just stepped out of the shadow O.
death, he passed a most delightful eve
ming.

An Institution That Has Been Doing Much
for Home Builders and Investors.
The Minneapolis Savings and Loan AS
sociation for the last 18 years has not
paid less than per cent on deposits. The
depositors are secured by $500,000 OF first
mortgages on real estate in Hennepln
county, having a cash value OF over
1000, ,OO0 and 95 per cent of these
mortgages are on homesteads. The bor-
rowers make regular weekly or monthly
payments, which constantly reduce their
loans and increases the relative security.
No financial institution in the northwest
loans money on safer principles, and the
best evidence of that is the fact that dur
ing the last 18 years this association mas
loaned over ss,0O0O0oz on real estate IN
Hennepin county, and it has no real estate
on hands as the result of foreclosure
The officers are J. Stoft, president;

The RattIer'a Call.

"What is the rattlesnake's rattle
for?" asked the zoo keeper.
TT is a CALL" he resumed, answer
ing his own question. 1.-THE rattle
snake with it calls his mate. A man
was telling me the other day that he
studied the rattle question last year in
the west. He said it is mainly as a
call that the rattle is used though diff
ferent sounds can be made with it, and
these sounds appear to have different
meanings.
"Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluckily, and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes, though they
fought well, We're all killed.
THE rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds, SO that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as a call, he says. that the rattle is
used most-a love call generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate" -Philadelphia Record.

Intelligence In Eating.

1t is difficult TO lay down regimen
for indiscriminate adoption. diet
that would prove one persons making
would very likely unmake another.
This much is certain, woman does
not require as much food as a man,
nor does clerk in a store require the
same amount and quality of food as
a day lahorer. A business woman
may not eat so much as man, but
her needs are as great in point of
quality and regularity of food.
Brain workers should eat fish, eggs,
cream, fruits and whole wheat bread.
They should eat enough of such food,
be they men or women, but they
should never overeat of anything.
An intelligent idea of our physical
make up and of the nutritige value of
different foods would preclude much
recourse to doctors for advice when
we are overtaken with indigestion or
liousness.-American Queen.
