Random Thoughts.

An investigation OF the paper trust
is now in progress at St. Paul. After
chewing so long on beef-and tough
beef at that-judging from the results,
it is well for the government offiials to
have change and substitute paper for
beef. Yet when we remember that the
son of his father, Garfield, reported
the beef trust was losing money, we
incline to the belief that the paper
trust has nothing to fear from an in
vestigation.
The farmers in this state, especially
those in the northern part are joining
that nature. Should they ever 60 out
on strike, we will all be in the left
field watching for a run for grub.
Work on the Panama canal is pro-
crossing with the same rapidity as the
beef trust investigation and if the same
vigor of action is maintained, it will
take all of eternity to make a begin
ming. Taft is cavorting around 10 the
Orient and the frogs and fever have
control Of the ditch.
The editor of the Milwaukee Senti-
mel wants it most distinctly under

welt or Fairbanks brand, or does it
straddle both and split the difference?
Or does the editor close his eyes and

THE THICkLY SETTLED PART
In DepopuIated Village, Hickman
Stopped at Right Spot.

Before the railroad went through
to Provincetown, on Cape Cod, well
known character, Sam Knowles, drove
the stage coach from Orleans to Prov
lncetown, passing through Eastman,
Wellf1eet and Truro. Truro at that
at that time was in it's decline, and
the inhabitants were much scattered
and very few in number.
The stage at certain times of the
year did not reach Truro until after
dark. One Saturday night Sam had
as a passenger minister who had
never visited the place before, but
who had exchanged with the Truro
minister for Sunday. When Sam
asked him where he wished to get
off he said: well, you can leave me
at the most thickly settled part Of the
town."
At the proper time Sam dismounted
from his box, opened the door and
said: "Well, here is where you want
to git off"
The minister looked around and
said: "Why, see no houses here"
well" said Sam, there hain't any.
You said you wanted to git off at the
most thickly settled part of the town,
and here it's. This is the graveyard"

Secretary Bonaparte Secured Victory
by Repeating Speech.
While Charles ]. Bonaparte, the new
secretary of the navy, was connected
with the Baltimore Reform league it
was decided to investigate the con-
duct of a prominent federal office
holder. Friends of the crooked official
learned this and resolved to pack"
the council, SO that the report might
be voted down. Mr.. Bonaparte
listened attentively to the arguments
against the report, and then rose to
give his own views, bitterly attack
ing the official and urging that the
changes be Immediately accepted. He
saw, however, that his words would
have little effect on that portion of
his audience which sided with the
accused man, SO when he had finished
his discourse he began over again re-
peating his speech word for word,
pause for pause, gesture for gesture
not once, but dozen times, until
toward morning the friends of the
accused official were fast asleep Mr.
Bonaparte and his associates then
approved the report.

H. M. YOUMANS Of the Waukesha
FREEMAN speaks wisely. and it is high
time that the people awoke to a reali-
zation of the conditions which now OBJ
tain in this country and which Will,
unless corrected. evenuate in the de-
struction of the country and the loss of
our liberties as a people. He says:
The best time for the telling millions
to fight wrong and frauds and the
enemies of the general public, is in
times of prosperity and strength for
instance in times like the present. Yet
the argument is often advanced, that
if people are doing we'll and are pros
porous the thing to do is to leave well
enough alone and permit the wrongs
and frauds to work, n-as-much as they
do not hurt preceptibly. But this
seems a mean and pusilanimous way
to US, for when hard times do come the
frauds and wrongs will more certainly
get in their deadly work. It is pleas
ing to know the people are looking at
it in this way and are not blinded by
a little prosperity.

event was mentioned and good wishes
expressed, and when your relatives
passed away, words of hope and COM
fort were expressed to carry comfort
to sticken hearts.
No interest of the city of material
