Elementary leadership In congress and
what ii denominates the miserable
tlasco OF Mr.. Dalzell's tilt with MIR.
Cochran, the Springfield Republican
says. With Mr. Cannon taken from
the floor for service as presiding Off
Ger, the Republicans have been worse
off than before in dozen years. Gros-
yenor has become mixture of clown
and PANTHEON with cheap efferyes-
ence Of wit. while Payne, who no
doubt possesses good points, Impress
es the imagination of the country
about as much as a dead calm. OF
Dalzell nothing more need be said.
There three men are substantially
the whole leadership on the floor. The
contrast between ii and the Repub-
lican leadership in the most active
congressional days of Mr.. Reed and
Mr.. Mckinley is most impressive.

THE POET BURNS.
A Criticism which Appeared In the
Edinburgh Magazine In 1855.

The following brief criticism on the
poems of Burns appeared in the Edin-
burgh Magazine, October, 1856 short
~ after the second edition Of his works
came out. "The author is indeed n
striking example of nntive genius
bursting through the obscurities Of
poverty and the distractions Of la
borious life. lie is said to be com
mon plowman, and when we consider
him in this light we cannot help re-
GREETING that hayward fate had not
placed him in more favored situation.
Those who view with the severity of
lettered criticism and Judge 10y the
fastidious rules of art will discover
that he has not the Doric simplicity of
Ramsey nor the brilliant Imagination
of Ferguson, but to those who admire
the excrtions of untutored fancy and
are blind TO many faults for the sake
of numberless beauties his poems will
afford singular qualification Ills OBJ
servationS on human characters are
acute and sagacious, and his descrip'
tons are lively and just. of rustic
pleasantly he has rich fund, and
some of his softer scenes are touched
with iuinitable delicacy. He seems
TO be boon companion and often
startlcs us with sentiments which will
keep some readers nj Il distance. Some
of his subjects are serious but those
of the humorous kind are the best"

OLD TIME COFFEE.
The Way TO Brcw the beverage as
They Did In 1862.


An old cookbook, published In 1862,
gives what is perhaps the first English
recipe for coffee. The recipe reads:
10 make the drink that is now
much used. called coffee;
"The coffee berries are to be bought
at any druggists, about I shillinGs the
pound. Take what quantity yen please.
and over a charcoal fire in an old fry
ing pan keep them always stirring I'M
til they be quite black, and when you
crack one with your teeth that 1t is
black within as it is without, yet If
YOU exceed. then do not waste the
owl. and if less. then will ii not de
liver its Oyl. and if you should con
tinue fire till it be white 1t viii then
make no coffee. but only give you its
salt. Beat and force through a lawn
sieve.
Take clear water and boil one-third
of It away. and 1t is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put
II in one ounce of your prepared cot
fee and boil it gently one hour, and
1t is for your use. Drink one quar-
ter of u pint as hot as you can sip it..

fis close friends inside information
regarding the Republican gubern1

the state are in the plot, as it may be

I WO bitches
Betrami County Will Get Two
State bitches Instead
of One.

Beltrami county will get two
state bitches instead Of one as
originally arranged. One Of the.
bitches will be located near Kelli-
her and the other will drain Ten
Mile Meadow into Lake Bemidji.
Engineer Ralph made his report
to the state drainage board Satur-.
day and Senator Swedback, to-
whom all credit is due for Sc
curing the state bitches, was ad-
vised this morning of the boards
decision.
The state money to be ex-
pended in their constitute ton
amounts to $4,000. The original
plan was to CONSTRUCTIONS ditch
and the favored location was a
short.distance from the village Of
Kelliher, where a considerable
portionof state land will be bene-
fitted. After invest igation Engi
neer Ralph found that it would
notrequire all the money on hand
to build this ditch and Kelliher
people who are much interested
in securing the ditch will sub
scribe $1,000 towards it. This
makes two bitches possible.
Work will be begun on both in q
very short time.
