Qdel1 and Platt.

R. B. Odell is in position to appre-
ciate the story told Of the man who, ac-
companying his wife g remains to the
cemetery, was considerably surprised to
learn from the pallbearers that the Lady
had come to life and was inquirlng Tor
him. -. He took her home and she lived
ten, years and died once more. At the
second funeral he cautioned the pail
bearers On entering the cemetery gate,
saying: "Boys, it was just here we
fell down the last time.'
Odell is creature Of Platt. He was
an upstate grocer whom Platt discov-
cred and promoted from stage to stage
until he became state chairman. 70
round out his career he was made gov
ernor, but Odell refused to be rounded
out, He had other views. Like the
gentleman in the Marco Bozzaris poem,
tsIn dreams thru camp and court ne
bore the trophies of conqueror."
t.'Then pressed his monarch g throne q
king At this point the Turkish gen
tleman's term of office expired.
Odell was not to be satisfied with a
term as governor. He saw himself cut
ting a swath in national politics. He
looked at Platt and he seemed feeble.
But he was slow of dying and when
at last Odell did think the old man was
dead and went with him to the GENE
terry, Platt officiously revived and asked
Odell what he could do for him. -
The cold -blooded septennarian who
has not drawn a painless breath In
dozen years proved too much for the
T hot -blooded grocer: When Odell was
governor he had the lust for money anc
he was let into the shipbuilding trust
where he dropped all he had.
Odell was furious until he got hi
money back, but to do so he had to set
tie suit against the ship trust. Why
he settled that suit Platt had to learn
and whether he ever learned or not HI
did learn that James Hazen Hyde would
testify that he paid Odell in the face o:
a threat to have the Mercantile trus
company's charter revoked. The pub
lication of this testimony is enough t.
finish Odell.. s%.< =.
Platt IS second funeral is as big a dis
appointment to Ode1l as the first.
Men like Platt have their uses in tn
economy Of nature. Their very fran]
adherence to a scheme of politics whicl
excludes moral considerations entirel
has tendency to accentuate the nee
of an ethical basis Of political associa
tion.

NO "CENTRAL" NEEDED
G. L. Fisher to Demonstrate Use Of
Automatic Telephone Switchboard.

One of the most interesting and in
structive lectures which will be given
this season at the 7. NJ. e: A. building
Fisher of Chicago will deliver lee
ture on ''The Stronger Automatic Tele-
phone Exchange.n This lecture will
consist of an exhibition of an actual
automatic exchange in working order,
differing from the Chicago automatic
exchange only in size. These eX-
changes, without operators, at central,
are in use in many of the larger cities
of the United States today.
The automatic switchboard which Mr.:
Fisher will show is the most successful
of the automatic efforts, and is of
great interest as one of the latest
achievements in telephone apparatus.
The system will be in actual operation,
and every one present may have an op-
portunity of operating and talking over
the telephones. Admission will be free,
both ladies and gentlemen being in
vited.

IDAIRYMEN SIGN PETITIONS
Goodhue and Rice County Milk Shippers
Don't Want Inspection.

Petitions urging the city council OF
Minneapolis to repeal the new milk and
cattle inspection ordinance have been
circulating in Rice and Goodhue coun,,
ties for some time and have been signed
by many. 1t is understood that they
will be presented to the council tomor-
row evening. The dairymen and milk
shippers of that part of the state are
behind the movement.
1t is not believed that the petition
will have much effect. After waging
war against tuberculosis for ten years
and expending large sums Of money to
rid the city from the dangers of infec
tion from the disease, it is not likely
that the city council will allow a small
group of country dairymen' to continue
to dispose of milk in Minneapolis from
diseased cows.

Take Off the Gates.

Now if the street railway company
will take off the gates and throw them
on the scrap pile, they will do some
thing that will contribute still more TO
expedite the handling of their business
than their new rules against passen-
oers having calls on their way from
the front to the rear of the car and
visiting while the car waits for them
to alight.
The gates are largely responsible tor

cities to see people step lively when

times on the way on account OF sohle

Annual whipping pnr..

Canterbury school in England had an
annual whipping day. when, as Green
tells us, an all round whipping was
given to the boys not for any definite
fault on their part. but with a view to
their general improvement. Canterbury
was not singular in the belief that a
sound birching now and then was in
Itself a good thing for boys. The idea
was commonly held in the old scholas-
tic world and was regularly acted upon
by the most famous head masters,
from Dean Colet to DIR. Keate. Eras-
mus says he was logged on this princl-
pie, and Charles Lamb found 1t to be
the practice at Chrlst's hospital.
