tiny rabbits, dogs. elephants. cats and
birds The animals can be made bright
and attractive. Care should be taken to
have them well stuffed, that no sharp
wires can protrude. Fasten firmly to the
back of each animal a ribbon, leaving an
end sufficiently long to tie securely to
the rubber ring The ribbons can be of
the same or of different lengths. When
the animals are suspended to the ring, at
each to each side of the ring ribbon a
half yard long, knot the two making some
thing by which the plaything can be hung.

1t is odd to see japanese women greet
each other on the street. Each stops and
bows from the waist until her head reaches
almost to her knees. This is repeated two
or three times. When the conversation
has concluded the ceremony again takes
place.
On the street the people walk with
slight undulation, owing to their high,
loose fitting sandals The soles are about
two inches in thickness, thus keeping the
wearer well off the ground, out of the
dust and dampness. They are fastened
to the feetswith a cleth~ strap over the
toe This is divided so that the great
toe goes through one aperture and the rest
on the other side. 1t is not difficult to
keep them on, as the hose are made like
mitten. On entering the house the
shoes are slipped off and left at the door.
The floors are covered with thick mating,
so that the sensation is not unpleasant.
The soles of the hose are made of heavy
material, much like coarse lampwicking,
so that they are almost as much protection
as the sole of French slipper.

THE Washington Post has
stirred uq quite a fuss with it's
parallel of the careers of Presi-
dents Arthur and Roosevelt clos
ing with the query, "Will Roose-
velt fail of the nomination as did
Arthur" Friends of President
Roosevelt, however, will not
worry. There is one respect in
which Arthur's and Roosevelt S
careers are not alike, and that is
in the fact that the people from
east to west and from north to
south demand Roosevelt's nomin-
alton, while nobody wanted Ar
thur but himself and his intimate
political friends.

Blake Was Not Jealous.
By A. M. GREELEY

- 4
Those were hours of unre-
strained JOY when the bed was
detached and piled in the corner,
the stove escorted outside to
cool, the table drawn into the
corner and fashioned to a throne
upon which with regal pomp the
fiddler sat and welded his scep-
tered bow. And with noisy feet
and jesting tongues the neigh
bors swung and wrestled ii
couples around the room in the
graceless frolic known as the
'ssquare dance.'' The tottering
grandpa with a head bereft Of
hair mated for the set with a
frightened maid snatched from
the cradle, it might seem. And
the host and his good wife busily
moving through the jostling
dancers silently announcing a
feast to follow when the music
tired, or he to guide a stranger
to the stable where key of beer
wound a halo of amber around
the festive scene.
"Big" Blake and his lady sat
on a window casing. A savage
CLEAN was in his eye. He was
plainly aggrieved. He was a
Lunch Creek settler and had
brought his s'girl" eight miles to
Pinetop settlement to participate
among strangers. The men of
bunch Greek were reputed as
tough characters. When they
left home they usually took
trouble with them and scattered
it broadcast.
The Pinetop gallants looked
wistfully at the fresh beauty
from Lunch Greek, then at the
fierce face of "Big" Blake, her
escort, and passed shudderingly
by. Blake danced with the Pine
top girls until his girl" com
planned Of being lonesome.
Suddenly he rose up and cried
out fiercely: "See here, fellows,
| I've brung over girl that is just
as flip a dancer and just as good
looking as any you've got your.
self, and you needn't pass her
up as if she had the spring halt
I'm getting tired of it,
That put things in a different
light. Blake's "girl" was the
belle of the ball the remainder OF
the night.

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.

Minnesota is plagued with too
much Johnson. No, Sammy
Johnson, you need not duck, for
we are not after you this time.
Too much Johnson, particularly
too much John johnson, how
ever, is giving a deal of trou BILE
throughout the state.
The records of the asylum for
the insane show that seven John
Johnsons have been committed
to that institution from st. Louis
county alone within the past few
years. No need to ask how they
happen to be there. The bare
thought of a few hundred other
fellows by the same name open
ing our mail by mis- take fairly
threatens our mental equilibrium.
Minnesota s John Johnsons are
all good fellows or mostly so. In
fact we couldn't do without them
at all. But what's in a name
when every tenth man you meet
has as good la right to it as you?
The thing actually causes you to
contemplate the leanness of your
bank account with satisfaction.
Johns sons are pretty numer-
Gus brotherhood and they help to
make Minnesota backbone one
of the stiffest among the states.
