Little Chapters From Life
His Wedding Announcement.

Andrew was a very useful per
son. Northland would have
found it hard to do without him.
Many a man who had climbed far
up the ladder Of fame would have
been missed far less than An
drew, who had never so much as
thought of attempting the first
round. He was content to saw
wood, make gardens, build fires
and wear a cheerful smile.
One summer Andrew, who had
been a bachelor as far back as
extended the memory of the old
est inhabitant Of Northland,
startled the good people of the
place by taking to himself a wife.
I was absent from Northland at
time on my usual vacation and
was therefore not a little surpris-
ed to receive this announcement
of the wedding.

A Knock for Knockers.

Every town contains men who
are always complaining that
business is not good. If period
of depression, no matter how
slight, sets in they Immediately
grow clamorous.
Such men are a detriment to
themselves and to the town in
which they live. No one wants
to trade with a man who is
always complaining Of the town
which his customers are doing
their best to make a busy, pros
porous place. In times of de-
preston the influence of such a
man is positively disastrous. By
his continual knocking he con-
veys. the impression that his
town is about to go to the bow
vows. Outsiders who hear his
loud .complainings say to their
neighbors, Il guess the town of
Blank has seen it's best days. "
Instead of using his influence to
attract business to his town the
knocker is doing his best to keep
it away. And he is altogether
too successful
In order that there may be no
mistake, let US say that this little
lecture is not meant for some
body in that dear Madison, Wis
consin, but for certain over
worked members of the fratern-
ity of knockers right here in Be
midi. When you hear them
knocking about this editorial you
will know who they are.

Public Salaries.

The economy which demands
that public officials be paid a
.meager salary is a false economy.
When public officials make a de-
mand for larger salaries the
stock reply is that everyone
seems to be anxious to take office
at the present salaries; why
should more be paid: The argu-
ment is poor one. Everyone is
not anxious to take pu bic office
under the present circums tances.
Do we not all know it for fact,
that the men most eminently
qualified for public life repeat
eddy refuse to have anything to
do with it on the ground that
they cannot afford it? So &C
customed to this fact have we be-
come that in many instances the
general public never thinks of
calling upon the men most quail.
fed; we know that they are out
of the question. Suppose the
salary of every county official in
Minnesota were to be raised $500
per year; does any body doubt
that the morale Of the public SER
vice would be decidedly raised
and that the public would in the
end save far more than they
would have expended in lncreas-
ed salaries?
Liberal salaries would un-
doubtedly make the unqualified
more eager than ever to obtain
office, but they would also make
availa BILE the best men in the
state and under such conditions
there can be no question of the
ultimate decision Of the people.

The Old Hymns.

There's lots o music in elm the
hymns OF long ago.
And when some gray-haired brother
sings the ones | used to know,
| sorter want to take a hand-l
think OF days gone by
ION Jordan's stormy banks l stand
and cast "A wistful eye,'
There's lots o music in 'em those
dear sweet hymns OF old
With visions bright OF lands OF light
and shining streets Of gold;
And hear 'em MISUNDERSTANDING
where memory dreaming stands
From Greenland's icy mountains to
India's coral strands
They live to sing forever OF holier,
sweeter days,
When the lilies OF the bve OF God
bloom white in all the ways;
And | want to hear their music from
the old-time meetin' rise
when can read my titles clear
to mansions in the skies"
We never needed singing books in
them old days-we knew
The wOrds-the tunes OF every one,
the dear old hymnbook through
We don't have no trumpers then
no organs built for show;
We only sang to praise the Lord,
from whom all blessings flow
An so, / love the old hymns, and
when my time has come
Before the light has left me and my
singing lips are dumb,
II can only hear 'e N then, I'll pass
without sigh
ITO Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie"

Grading up or Improvements
along the line OF every avocation
is the rule of civilization. The
world today requires better pro.
fessional men, better mechanics,
better stockmen and farmers
than it has ever done. With
the advance of education and
the requirement OF knowleig by
the masses OF the people, new
tastes have come into play;
more and more people every day
are demanding the best of every
thing the world has in store
aud to those who seek to supply
these wants are coming the
the greatest rewards.
The stock raising methods OF
a generation ago will no more
answer the purpose OF today
than would a return TO the old
reap hook serve to harvest our
grain crops. There has always
been market for tops, " which
is only another name for the
best, in all this old world Of
ours has for sale from brains all
along down the line TO mouse
traps. This demand for the
best, once restricted to the
purse favored few, is now
almost universal-every body
wants it if within their reach at
all. 1t has been said that cult
waited minds begets refined
tastes. This grading up pro
cess, for such it may well be
called, often goes to extremes,
but say what we will of it it has
gotten to be a general condition
aud to profit by it We mus. fall
into line and give the world
what il wants-the best.
Il engaged in professional ca
reers We must grade up and not
be satisfied until we have
reached the very highest pima
Gle Of knowledge in Our special
line and if possible go beyond
it; if in the stock business or IN
other agricultural pursuits we
should grade up, not stopping
until the productions of our skill
and labor rank top in the
markets. And so in every other
line of business or calling in
life, we must grade up or other
wise be ranked down as one Of
LIES failures.

The reward of the inventor who
can produce artificial diamonds is so
tempting that the Moisson expert
ments with the electric furnace,
which were inaugurated some eight
or ten years ago, have been contin-
ued until TIC present day. They
are now being carried on in the
laboratory of the Sorhpnne, in Paris.
The first diamonds made by the
electric furnace were of microscopic
size and few in number. AS the
work continued various modifica-
tons were worked out, as the expert
ence of the investigators became
greater, until now success seems i'm
minent. The crystals are positively
known to partake Of all the charac-
teristics Of the diamond in CRYSTAL
line structure, hardness and chem
ical composition. The largest crys-
tai yet obtained is only one-half a

is only spark, it indicates that the
process is capable of yielding dia-
monds Of good quality and that
