did Bismarck ever see that he coveted
that he did not monopol1ze?
When Stephen a. Douglas appeared
at Nashville in 1860 he drank two full
goblets of fine wt1iskey just before
he began his magnificent speech:
"Fellow citizens, sixteen years ago
today I was in Nashville, then, as now,
battling for the success of the national
democracy and contending for the
correct construction Of the nation
al constitution. Then L advocated the
election to the presidency an illus
trious son of Tennessee, and on that
same day I received the bened1ctlon

Some forty yeare ago, perhaps less.
a learned clergyman of Scotland was
chosen the head of one of the lead
ing colleges of the United States. l?he
dav of his inauguration was exceed
ngly warm, and the reverend gentle
man walked to the chapel, where a
large and select audience awaited MS
appearance. Wiping the persplratlon
from his brow, the learned doctor ex-
blamed: "The weather is very hot, and
the wfuskey''- look OF disgust
as broad as his pronunciation, came
over his rugged features-"and the
whuskey, it was very mean. Per-
haps the good old man had been gwen
some of that Peoria abomlnatlon and
had sailed into it as he had been &C
custoned to irr1bibe his native Scotch.
Though this president of a great
Presbyterian college would have his
"whuskey," he made the college the
equal in standing of any other IN
America, and the youth into whom Or.
MacLeash could not implant some
character was hopeless.
Temperance is an excellent thing.
1t is a pity that in our country drink
has been assailed with so much tanat-
icism and so much cant. We would
better fight it with the lofrier and
stronger weapon of reason.
And then there is some fun in bot
tie of good whiskey-f we would only
broach it nationally and not make
hogs of ourselves-good whiskey,

She Could See Her Man.

Boston F1eIdlu.
An old lady in New Hampshire de-
cided to- try matrimony for the Sec
ond time in extreme old age. Her
children and grandchildren and great
grandchildren expostulated with her:
but she remained firm and declared
she was going to marry the man.
"Why, you're too DID," said they;
"you're losing your faculties. You
can't see; if this man was on the other
side of the street you couldn't tell
him from any one else."
The old lady said she was going TO
marry him. At last daughter SAID:
"Now we'll put the man on top OF the
barn and you shall stand in the k1tch-
en- door, If you can see him on the
barn YOU shall marry him"
The prospective bridegroom sat on
the ridgepole of the barn, THE old lady
came to the door, looked, shaded her
eyes and looked again.
"Do you see him" called the tamil
ly.
"Oh, yes" was the reply; II can see
the man all right, but I don't see tine

Unappreciated Courage.

In the Tennessee mountains lived
little hunter named Hiram Gates.
Although small in size, Hiram was
noted for his bravery for miles around
in that section of the country, where
courage was a common asset. Once
while hunting Ihe tracked bear to a
small cave. Now, a man hasn't one
chance in a million fighting bear
in close quarters, but this fact didn't
deter Hiram for a minute Throwing
down his gun, he put his knife be-
tween his teeth and crawled into the
dark hole after the animal.
By the greatest of good fortune he
succeeded in killing it, for the reason
that the cave was so small that the
bear couldn't turn around to defend
himself. Otherwise there probably
would have been a different story.
Hiram skinned the bear and then
went home, where he explained the
manner of the killing to his father.
The old man listened quietly until the
tale came to an end and then, IN
high pitch, quavering voice, said:
"Well, Hiram, I like a brave man
as we'll as anybody, but you're an IN
fernal fool!" =!

There is story of the cellar OF an

Cameron. 1t is said there were sew
era1 barrels of "cG1erry bounce in
there that had the effect to cause any
member of the Pennsylvania legisla-

thing Gen. Cameron told him to vote
for. Gen. Sheridan told a story of
Bismarck, and one could see that the
little general felt that the treatment
accorded him by the mighty chancel-
lor was injurious. 1t was late on the
,dav of Sedan. Bismarck and Sheri-
dan had Witnessed the battle and the
victory and both put spurs to flank
and dashed for Bismarck's quarters

STRUCK IT RICH.
Former Mankato Man Turns inventor
and Manufactures.

A. w. Rossberg of Minneapolis, who
moved away from Mankato two years
ago, was in the city today. He is now
on the highway to wealth, having struck
it rich. Last June the thought struck
him that shaved nut meats would be
an improvement for cooking and for
soda fountains, etc., than the ordinary
crushed or chopped nuts. He shaved a
pound with his knife and had them tried
at a soda fountain, and they were such
a success that he invented a machine
to shave them. The shaved nut meats
took wonderfully well, and he now has
two machines at work, shaving one hun
dred pounds of nuts daily. He expects
to increase his plant to ten machines
His process is patented, and the ma
chimes are made by the Twin City Auto
mobile company. He has had all kinds
of offers from people wanting to form
a partnership with him, and from those
who want to handle the goods. He re-
ceived an offer this week from a COM
pany that wanted to pay him $4,000 for
the exclusive territory of New York
state, but he rejected it and will send
his own representative there March LIST.
Mr.. Rossberg expects to clear up not
less than $4,000 this year. He gets
absolutely pure nuts, and shaves every
kind of nut. He arranged while in the
city to have his product handled by
both wholesale grocers and both candy
factories.
Mr.. Rossberg was resident of Man
kato for seven years, and has many
friends in the city who will be pleased
to learn of his success.

Rose Marie Schaller was appointed
by Governor johnson late yesterday af-

port News, early in April. Miss Schal-
Ter is a daughter of State Senator AL
bert Schaller of Hastings, and is at
present attending the state university,

The Minnesota will be one of the best
battleships in the American navy, ac-
cording to officials of the navy de-
partment, and Paul Morton, secretary
of the navy, is planning big celebra-
ton at the time of the launching. Min
nesota will probably be represented by
Governor Johnson's private secretary,
Frank A. Day, as the governor does
not feel that he ought to go SO far from
the state while the legislature is in ses.
sion. The party will also include sew
eral members of the legislature, mem
bers of the st. Paul, Minneapolis and

nesota congressional delegation. It is
hoped that President Roosevelt will
be able to attend to do the honors for
the federal government, but he has not
given a definite promise.

L. G. M. Fletcher traces his ances-
try back to the Fletchers of st. Law
renee county, New York, who were
sprung from those Fletchers who settled
in Massachusetts in the early part of
the seventeenth century. Mr.. Fletcher's
father was Adolphus Fletcher of St.
Lawrence county, New York state, and
the latter's father was Luke Fletcher,
who died in that county. Both the
father and grandfather of the Mankato
banker served in the Revolutionary war.
Hon. Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis is
descendant of the same stock. These
Fletchers are indeed quite numerous in
America. The family, if such it might
be called, is traced far back into Eng
lisha history in an article recently ap-
pearing in newspaper of Los Angeles.
Fletcher, according to an authority, is
name derived from the Latin verb,
fectere, to bend, to bend a bow. From
this, an archer came to be known as
aecher, or in English, fedger. Flechir
is the French verb corresponding to
the Latin fectere. In this connection it
is curious to note that the colonial
Governor Fletcher was called by the In
dams the "Great White Arrow"
Variations of the name are Flecchir
and fletcher. In Switzerland, the

cradle Of the family, the name is de la
Flechere or de la Flechiere. The fam
lily intermarried with the Nechars, De
Staels and other noble Swiss families.
From Switzerland the Fletchers went to
England.
Pierre, Duke of Savoy, who lived in
the castle of Chillon, was related to
Eleanor of Provence, wife of Henry III.
On one of his visits to England he took
over with him some young men-"titl-
I'd men," SO it is put down-and one was
named De la Flechiere.
In the fifteenth century twenty mine
bands of gypsies settled in Great Brit
ain, and wishing to take names unto
themselves, they adopted those. of the
leading families; Fletcher was one.
This, is least, in odd fashion witnesses
to the Importance of the family at that
time. "Phelypp, the, good fletcher" is
a name which occurs in the Coventry
Mysteries" religious play of the Mid
die Ages. Henry Fletcher comes into
the history in connection with Mary
Queen of Scots, to whom he gave vel
vet robe. This was at the time she was
a prisoner, and so reduced was her ward
robe that she wrote to Elizabeth that
she had but one gown. Richard Fletcher
was one of Elizabeth's chaplains and
afterward Bishop of London. Few at
tain the reputation for saintliness pos
sessed by Rev. William Fletcher, friend
of Wesley. and equally Jealous in good
