A Close Call.

The four small children of Mr.. and

Duluth, barely escaped death in flames
which destroyed the family residence.
Mr. and Mrs. Tiernet left their four
small children in the house while they
went to get some wood some distance
away. Mr.. Tiernet suddenly observed
smoke issuing from the roof and he
and he his wife hurried to it.
Mr.. Tiernet broke the bedroom win

baby. The interior of the house be-
yond the bedroom was a mass of
flames. To enter there was impossible,
either to seek the other three children
or try to save the contents
The husband and wife stood by and
wrung their hands in agony, for moth

MINNESOTA NEWS.
All About Butter.

The biennial report of the state dairy
and food commission soon to be pre-
scented to the legislature, will show that
Minnesota is today making $4,000, 600
pounds more butter annually than it
did four years ago when Gov. 5. L.
Van SAINT, then dairy governor, first
came into office.
In four years the number of cream
cries has increased from $50 to ISL. and
the product of butter for this year will
equal ~ 900, 900 pounds At the same
time the quality has increased to
point where Minnesota has won first
place in competition with the world
for both dairy and creamery butter
Since January. l. 1913, cheese factories
three to ninety, and skim stations
from fifty-two to siXty-siX. This is
gain for the year of i'll new cream
cries, seventeen cheese factories, and
fourteen skim stations. The point has
now been reached where Minnesota
probably produces more butter than
any other state in the union. And
with the fact long established that it
produces more flour, Minnesota now
has unquestionable right to the title
Gov. Van SAINT has given it of The

Another thought This appeal on

perfume on the desert air. 1t doesn't

hope there is-and 1t is only a hope.
The great masses of the people Of
China have developed capacity in
mankind for enduring all the burdens
and rascalities that can possibly be
heaped and inflicted upon a people,
yet they are borne with docility. and
may be with fortitude.

come, for the light of the reformer
without the lash of the monopOlist is
of utter impotency. 1t was ever thus
