His Subjects View
of the Gear
By Warwick James Price

WHEN Archbishop Trench was writing
w his classic work on the study of
words, he elaborated this statement:
when you would find true signs of a
change of heart in any country look
among the figures of speech of the lower
classes"
By which criterion a present-day
French scholar, after delving among
the proverbs and sayings of the Russian
muzhik. is producing evidence that the
one-time serf no longer looks upon his
Car as God-appointed and infallible,
of other clay than he himself, indeed /;
for where he once told his children that
when the Little Father spits into a
dish it breaks in pieces through very
pride" he now says, The crown does
not protect the Cars head from head
ache" the whole broad change from
the Russia of 1860 to the Russia of 1908
is there summed up.
Once the peasantry believed that their
ruler was very brother to God himself,
that Even covered with boils, our Gar
would know not i'll health; that The
Gar, riding behind tired horse, changes
each dragging step to a league" that The
Cars voice has an echo, though no noun
tains may be near" But the days of
these loyal superstitions are past and
gone The proverbs of the peasantry
of to-day ring with Other truths, as if
ten years ago, when these sayings first
began to appear in the current speech
of the poor, there were cryptic prophecies
of a peoples congress to mark the death
of autocracy.
Besides the one already quoted, the
French writer gives eight such sayings
as follows:
Even the lungs of the Gar cannot blow out
the SUM-
The Cars back, too, would bleed, if it
were CRASHED with the knout.
The Cars arm is long, but it cannot reach
Heaven.
The Cars vinegar makes nothing the
sweeter.
The hand of Gar has but five fingers,
after all.
1t is no more difficult for Death t. carry a
fat Car than lean beggar.
What the Gar cannot accomplish, Time
does easily.
Even the Cars cow cannot bring to the
world anything but a calf.

Visited Asylum.

The legislative committee that
visited the asylum Tuesday were
Joined by Representative White of
Traill county and Representative
Kyle of Rolette county. They made
a thorough inspection of the insti-
tuition from the boiler house to the
Office and everv ward building in the
institution. They found that the re-
ports Of the trustees and the superin-
tendent as to the needs Of the insti-
tuition had not been exaggerated.
The crowded condition Of the wards
was plainly seen. The necessity Of a
cold storage house and additional
land was also noted by the committee.
Trustees Moore, Elkins and Hackney
we're present during the committee's
stay and held their regular monthly
meeting.

Prisoners to Pen.

Sheriff Mclean Of Ramsey county
was here Tuesday evening with four
prisoners enroute to the penitentiary.
The men were shackled together, and
all were young or middle aged.
Harry McPhail was sentenced to five
years for horse stealing. G 60. Brad
ford, who was charged with attempt
ing to rob the passengers of Great
Northern train was given nine and
one half years. Lee Barnhart four
years for burglary and Geo. Williams
four and half years for burglary.
There are four more prisoners from
Ramsey comfy, who have been SEN
fenced to the penitenti ary for crimes
committed in that county and they
will be brought 10 the penitentiary
to serve out long terms. The lesson
that these sentences ought to give
to other parties is certainly plain
that the courts Of the state are not
going to be lenient with hold up
men or criminals.
In sentencing the above prisoners
ar number of blindpiggers to the
county jail Judge Cowan instructed
the sheriff to provide hard labor for
the blind piggers during their stay
in Jail. The court stated that a
large percentage Of the blind piggers
were men who believed they had
graduated from work and take to
committing petty crimes in the fall,
knowing that they will be we'll cared
for during their term Of imprison-
ment and have nothing to do. The
court expressed the opinion that II
the prisoners we're provided with
hard labor there would be fewer VIC
lations of law.

The cardboard Ind young plants can
then be bodily transplanted into the
garden. The cardboard rots and the
plants have start that cannot be
obtained otherwise.
Mrs. Wilcox says that to keep toma-
toes fresh during the winter make a
weak sutton of brine in barrel, a
quart of salt and half barrel of
water, put in the best, most perfect
tomatoes under water, keep them
pressed down and excluded from the
air. They will remain fresh and about
as good as when first picked from the
vines. Ripe or half ripe tomatoes
picked late will do. She urged par
ents to get children interested in
gardening. to- plant seeds in their
names in the garden. s-., ss:y.s
The kinds of plants that can be It

help to the young plants.
Mrs. Wicox told how to Keep fresh

them ffeeze; then dip in wa'er

BUSY WEEK IN BISMARCK
Primary Election Bill Comes up In
the h0use-P0ints Where Differ
enCe of Opinion Exist.

Bismarck, Feb. 8.-Both houses
we're called to order today but good
many members we're absent on roll
call. This promises to be busy
week and the leading question that
is exnected to occupy the attention
of the house is the primary election
bill. Many members insist on the
right to debate such an important
measure and the desire Of the prim-
ary men to force the bill through
without its conside1a tion in the
committee OF the whole has aroused
much opposition to the bill that has
been heretofore positive. 1t is said
the senate has a safe majority for 5he
bill of 3 or 4, and will insist on the
passage of the Sharp senate bill with
out any changes by the house.
One Of the features OF the bill that
mt cts opposition is tnat which pro-
vides that members OF the minority
party shall be required to pay but
one half the amount as members of
the majority part-as a fee. The
claim that the measure is in favor of
the democrats, rather than the re-
publicans.
Some of the mem bers of the house
favor substituting one section of the
Rose bill for one of the Sharpe senate
bills, providing that separate ballots
and separate ballot boxes be provided
for each party.
The members who favor the bill
may be in the end ready to accept
any measure no matter how lame it
may be, and run the ch nee correct
ing the errors two years from now.
The death Of ex-state Treasurer D.
". Driscoll of Grafton is announced
and is greatly regretted by his
many friends in the capitol and
STATE. He made good trasurer and
was prominent in Walsh county for
many years.
Section - of the enabling act of the
state granted fifty sections of unap-
propriated public land for the pur.
pose of erecting buildings at the
capital of the state for legislative,
executive and judicial purposes" In
addition to this section II Of the
same act granted $4,000 acres for
public buildings at the capital of the
state. The fifty sections of land
mentioned first would be $4,000
acres, making total of $4,000 acres
set aside for thi purpose. The re-
striction thrown around the lands for
educational purposes-that they were
not to be sold for less than $40 per
acre-was not specified in the case Of
these lands for the capitol.
1t is generally expected that d. j.
Laxdal will be one member of the
capitol commission and he will prob
ably be the chairman of the board.
Every necessary restriction seems to
have been thrown around the opera
tions of the commission to protect
every interest of the state.

, THE DAIRY COW.

Major Mcconnell followed. with
an interesting discourse on the COW
and gave the history of the Jersey.
GUERNSEY, and Holstine cattle that
are the chief dairy COWS. The Hol-
stine breed has been raised for a
thousand years on the low lands Of
Holland and fed on succulent vegeta-
tion. This food, fer this length of
time IS the reason for his breed CIV
ing it's great quantities of milk.
The jersey cattle have been kept
pure in breed on the island of Jersey
for 600 years by strict laws against the
mixing of the breed. The speaker
advised farmers who have number
OF mich cows to make a test of each
cows milk at creamery, and see if
some of them are not giving such a
poor quality of milk. to say nothing
of the small amount ofsbutter, that
they are not earning their board. In
nearly every lot of cows on a farm
the speaker stated that some one or
more COWS do not pay their keeping
and milking, and the first thing a
farmer should do would be to fatren
and sell that COW and get one of
better earning capacity. Pictures of
some of the celebrated cows Of the
world were shown and their records
given BY the speaker.
The proceedings of the farmers
institute Saturday to those who were
present were as interesting and in
structive as If the weather had per-
mitted larger audience to be present.
The speakers spared no pains In the
addresses and it was regretted that
more farmers and their wives could
not attend
The meeting was called to order by
Nal. w, w. P. Mcconnell, formerly
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
of Minnesota, who briefly outlined the
work Ut the institute stating that this
was she first visit of the institute
corps to this section Of the state and
they were all pleased with both the
people and the country. He spoke
briefly Of the gradual transformation

BEAT THE
BANKERS

The wooden mill ball tossers were
again victorious last night, and took
the Bankers into camp to the tune of
II to 4. With tho exception OF the first
inning, when the blanket weavers run
in 10 scores, It was an exceptionally
good game. But the money changers
certainly went a ballooning In the that
first inning, and, although they settled
themselves down in good shape after
that, it was too late. The deed was
done.
The Woolen Mills have now defeated
each Of tho teams in the Salem league,
and expect TO play team picked from
all four Of them, after the close Of the
present series. This promises TO be q
game worth seeing.
One feature OF the game last night
was the absence of Tom Kay, who was
in Portland. II he had been present
the scoring by bis men in red would
probably not have all been confined to
the first inning. Carl GabFielsOn sprung
a new point ON many OF the players, as
we'll as the spectators, when he held his
base until a foul fly was caught, and
then ran to the next one.

PUBLIC OPINION

rhey are intouch with the railroads,
and not with the people.
The newspapers in the Western and
Middle Western states are discussing
he subject of rate fixing with much
sarnestness They indicate that there
has come a change in sentiment owing
4o the debate which has been in prog
Tress. the testimony which has been
taken by the Senate committee on in
tergtate commerce, and the consequent
thinking in which serious men who de.
sire to reach sound conclusion have
indulged. A good many persons who
carelessly mistook the general outcries
against the railroads and their prac.
tees for the truth find on examination
that many Of the accusations against
.he roads are untrue. While there has
been manifestation OF greed and Of
some tendency to disregard the law on
the parts of the roads, it is becoming
clear TO the minds who have been set
at work seriously on the problem that
the relation between the roads and the
community, between the agencies Of
distribution and Of production, are mu.
tually dependent. One cannot flourish

The idea that the control Of the

have said, is agitating the West. The
