A DOG is always honest You
never see one pant and wag his tail
at the same time, or hear of one
growing and wagging his tail at
the same time. 1t is impossible for
him to be glad at one end and mad
at the other. But the honesty of the
dog is not always emulated by hu.
man beings.
Thu CHISHOLM TRIBUNE has put
in new press and comes out in
new form. IF the "make up" on the
paper would now get the heading
on the first page instead of on the
eighth it would help some and tend
to make the printers of the range
quit wondering where he learned
his trade.
THE ELY MINER has entered up

Editor Schaefer is one of the best
fellows in the bunch of good fell
lows connected with the range
press. Here's hoping it may live
to be twice eleven, and that Pete
may still handle the pencil and
make money every day.
In every town are to be found a
certain class of misguided youths
who apparently are drifting into
the idea that "the world owes every
man living" and are not making
any. noticeable effort to aid the

the agricultural districts between
Virginia and International Falls
been numbered in the Virginia
returns it would have swollen the
local list some, and considering the
fact that all these settlers buy tn cir
supplies in this city they might
be as justly entitled to be enumerat.
ed in the Virginia list as are all the
Inhabitants of Fayal township en-
titled to be enumerated in the Eve

A WISCONSIN exchange tells of a
sixteen-year-old Jersey COW which
is credited with producing three
and one half toms of butter yearly.
1t has been long time since we
left the farm, upwards of three and
twenty years, but we can hardly
swallow that yarn even with butter
spread all over it. Three and half
tons of butter or 1000 pounds in 365
days-without any dry season
would be 1917 pounds of butter per
day. Allowing that sixteen.year-
old heifer credit for giving milk
that tested five per cent butter tat,
she would have to give down near
