half loaf is better than none,
| Which is some satisfaction to any
young man who has been forced
through wholly loafing to dispose
of half interest in his holdings to
keep his creditors from taking all.

who has done so much towards
making Duluth famous, has been
declared innocent of the latest
charge of forgery, and is again at
liberty to resume his former occu-
patton of travelling and registering

| CASSIE CHADWICK has been SEN
fenced to ten years. She can figure
a better salary for that length of time
than is received by the president of
the United States as the result of
her confidence game. Considering

now going on in Chicago and the
further statement that lit will be
probed thoroughly and honestly
by the government and when it is
finished the world will know it as it
is." Must be that the Chisholm
Herald man has more faith in some
government employees than the
people of the country have reason
to have in Commissioner Garfield,
since his initial Investigation" of
the beef trust.
| ANDREW CARNEGIE still lives in
mortal fear of dying rich, and now
considers the endowment of colleges
as method of getting rid of his &C.
formulated coin. Andrew might al.
