"AS BOLD AS A LION."
Rather Say Bold as "A Partridge if
You Would BeSExact.

lou would Be6Exact.
The only explanation of the adage
AS bold as Il liOn," is that the lions
magnificent, muscular body, his noble
head, great name, the fact that he is a
wild beast and-still more probably
MS deep throated roar that sounds so
extraordinarily bold have made him
feared for generations. But the lion
belongs to the family Of cats and is
not bold. To those who know best he
is not brave even in the hour of dan
ger. The lioness, who is smaller. less
terrible to look upon and is Without q
name, is brave in defense of her young,
out she, too, is not bold. She is merely
Dolder than the lion. In comparison
with any animal that can face danger
and fight fair" the lion is a coward.
To prove it let us see for a moment
how it is that the lion chooses to hunt
his prey.
The lion does not hunt In the reeds
and grasses near some pool in the Jun
gle he lies hidden where he knows that
other animals will go to drink. Cat
like, he leaps upon his victim, striking
1t with his powerful paws Then his
great jaws break the neck of the I'M
fortunate creature he has taken by sur
prise, and the lion boldly carries off
Tie carcass to devOur it where he will.
The folk who live on the outskirts Of
Jungles in the lions country sometimes
lose their sheep and goats when a hun
CRY lion can muster courage to go near
a human habitatiOn in his search for
food. He goes at night and stealthily.
Who knows but that his heart goes
pit-a-pat and his big limbs tremble at
every sudden noise? The natives of
India and of Africa know, however.
that they can brighten away thieving
lion by fire and torches. If cOrnered
and forced to fight he will do battle
savagely, but he doesn't seek an open
fight. and any traveller will tell you
that as rule the king of beasts
bolts on sighting man.
To be as bold as a partridge as
brave, unselish, daring, heroic, as a
partridge-is something one might be
proud to boast. No lion defends its
young with the courage of partridge.
The lioness at bay will turn in defense
of her Ct bs, will fight the enemy, will
spring at him furiously; the partridge
will leave its little ones quite unpro-
tected in the nest, or wherever they
may be in hiding, and will offer herself
to spare them. 1t is not the unthink-
ing hcrOiSm of excitement. The bird
knows what she is doing and the dan.
ger. She schemes to attract attention
to herself, but she manages to lead the
dogs on, and she escapes We at least
have never heard anything in the life
history of the partridge so sad as thai
the mother bird has been taken at thai
supreme moment. Under the very nose
of the dogs she will flutter and limp

into the belief that she is famed anC

Minnesota COLLEGE.

The Northwestern Lutheran Board
OF Education, which is the official
name adopted for the committee ap-
pointed by the Minnesota conference
of the Swedish Lutheran church for
establishing an institution of learning
in the Twin Cities, has decided toopen
an academic department., q business
college and q musical department on
Oct. next at Minneapolis. Tempo
rary quarters have been secured for
the first year in the Franklin block on
the south side, in the residence por-
tion of the city. This building is am
pie in size and we'll adapted for the
purpose, and conveniently located.
Negotiations are being concluded with
well-known and capable instructors to
have charge of the various depart
ments, which gives assurance that the
work done will be thorough. The
name of Minnesota College has been
tentatively adopted for the institution.
In regard to permanent location the
Board has had several propositions
under investigation. A very liberal
proposition has been made by the
owners of the suburb of Robbinsdale
on condition of the location of the

Swallowed OvercOat Button.

An important discovery was made
by the surgeons in charge at the
Rochester hospital, one day last week,
while operating on Miss Bertha Lob
REM OF this city. It was discovered
that an overcoat button had effected
q lodgment in one of the intestinal
passages, and this was safely re-
moved. Miss Lohrenz has repeat.
edly undergone hospital treatment
during the past two or three years,
and her life was we'll nigh despaired
OF. The removal of this peculiar in
ternal obstruction gives the family
reason to hope that the INVALID now
has q chance to regain her health.
1t is assumed by the doctors that the
button was swallowed: during the
early childhood Of Miss Lohrenz, and
had its discovery been delayed much
longer, it would have been too late to
save her.-Redwood Falls Gazette.

Good for Kandiyohi Buttermakers

In the July national educational
butter scoring contest at the St. Louis
worlds fair two Kandiyohi county
buttermakers were among the Mime
sofa exhibitors receiving the highest
scores. c. n. Hammerberg, of Irv-
ing, received = score of 81 and L. NJ.
sorenson, of Svea, score of 95.
The fact that these figures do not fall
fsr below the highest Minnesota scor-
ing-984, makes the showing for Kan
diyohi county q very creditable one
indeed.
Minnesota butter makers are far
ahead at the fair. But four of the III
tubs entered fell below 90}, the state
capturing practically all the honors
OF the competition. The lowest
awarded q Minnesota exhibitor was
86. The general average attained was
949 and the average of butter scoring
over 90 was 81 IS. In the dairy de-
partment the state had three samples
going above 80.
Minnesota is getting pretty we'll ad-
vertised as q good butter state and
the superiority OF her butter will be
deeply impressed upon the minds OF
those visiting the exhibit at the big
fair.

NABBED BY SHERIFF
Sheriff Lundquist Captures Horse
Thief, Who is Now in Benson
Jail Awaiting Trial.

The quietude of Kerkhoven was sud-
denly disturbed by q case of horse
stealing on Friday, July Is. On that
day Robert Mahlow, who lives four
miles south of Kerkhoven, came to
the village, and being unable to Sc
cure any room in the barn for his
horse he hitched it to q post in the
street. Frel Chester, who had been
working near Kerkhoven for some
time, and who claims his home is in
Massachusetts, took sudden notion
that this was an excellent and un-
eQualled opportunity for securing q
horse and buggy without any cash,
and so, when evening approached, he
united the horse, jumped into the
vehicle and hied himself and his booty
away from the din and noise of the
city, without leaving any information
as to his future whereabouts. AS soon
as Mr.. Mahlow discovered the absence
of his means of locomotion he 'phoned
information and description to neigh
boring villages and also to Sheriff
Lundquist, who at once went to the
livery stable and ordered q team pre-
pared. While this was being done q
telephone message was received from
Pennock stating that the rig had gone
thru that village about O'Clock and
evidently was headed for the county
seat. The sheriff then set out to en-
counter the "runaway' and q short
distance beyond the brickyard the two
rigs met. It seems as if Chester lost
his chest altogether, for he did not try
to get away. The handouts we're put
on in a jiffy aud the journey continued
only with change of driver. Chester
tried to play off drunk but upon ar
irving in the city he forgot all about
it and appeared to be entirely sober.
He was kept here until Monday, when
he was transferred to Benson. He
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over to await the action
of the grand jury in November. If he
is convicted, Sheriff Lundquist will
be the recipient OF 5000. allowed by the
state for the conviction of q horse
thief.
