Are you jealous of your
neighbours prosperity? What
has he done to you? asks an ex-
change. Because he pushed
and pulled and scratched and
sweat and toiled and succeeded
at last in reaching an easy road
in life, and you rested under the
shade and failed, does that
make it your duty to rail at him
and smirch him at every oppor-
tunity? Does it? Say a good
word for him. No man is the
only pebble on the beach. Your
time will come if you only use
hands and head, Try to pluck
some benefit out of every day.
Don't feel sore because some
fellow has more sense than you.
Now help your town along, push
and pull and you will be sur
prised how much prosperity will
come to you and how much
smoother the road than when
you were talking mean about
your neighbor.

An exchange tells us that
che revised code of the Methc-
dist Episcopal church has chan
ged somewhat the ritual Of the
marriage service and that the
bride must promise to Glove,
honor and keep her husband.
This is no doubt a good nuptial
formula. We know a lot OF
fellows that would like some
body to keep them. They won't
work and it would evidently be
just to their liking if some
sweet girl would "keep them. :"

ANOTHER DITCH
To straighten Sioux River in
Grant Township==To Re-
duce River From %
to 7 Miles.

The ditch meeting held
Thursday afternoon at tie
court house was attended by a
large number of citizens from
Grant and Kennebec townships,
who reside in the proposed
ditch district.
The preliminary survey has
been made by Surveyors Fess-
enden and Huff, and it is found
that the ditch, or rather cutoffs,
will reduce the rivers length
from 26 to Z miles from tie
Woodbury. county line to a
point not far from the Stone
bridge or Kennebec.
The proposed ditch is to be
40 feet wide at the top and 20
on the bottom and from 6 to IL
feet deep.
The promoters believe that
this ditch would assist the
water to get down the valley in
ordinary floods without running
over the bottoms as it now
loes.
The large attendance and the
earnestness in favor of the
hitch makes its construction
almost certain. 1t is believed
by those who are working for
it, that it can be constructed
for eight cents a yard. Onawa

Chicago has the largest tea
rooms in the world. In one
such place alone are seats for
1000 hungry mortals. and on a
busy Saturday more than 1000
individuals are served there,
not to mention all the other
tearooms along busy State
street. 1t takes 300 hurrying
walters to attend to this army
out cunning for sandwiches,
sweets and dainty beverages.
This particular tearoom is one
block long and half a block
wide, and the number of pat
rons that have their luncheon
there each day would fill a
good sized country town.

The Origin OF St. Patrick's
Day.


st. Patrick was an apostle
and patron saint of Ireland.
His birthplace is disputed but
it is supposed to be at or near
Kirkpatrick. He was born
about 372 A. d.; was a captive
and slave of the king of Dalar-
ada in Ireland from 1888 A. d.
to 395 A. d., went to Gaui and
was there ordained a priest and
from there he is supposed to
have gone to Ireland as a mis-
sionary where for many years
he worked to evangelize a
grelt number of tribes and
there he founded his first
church on March IL, 465 A. d.
which is the day held sacred to
his memory. SO we'll was his
work accomplished that Ireland
was known in subsequent cen
turtles as the "Island of the
Saints The method employ
ed was that of dealing cautious
ly and gently with the old pa
ganism of the people. The
chieftains were first won and
through them their clans. OF
Patrick himself much that has
been said of him is entirely
fabulous but his autobiography
ical confession which is un-
questionably genuine, reveals a
devout, simple minded, inlet
tered man and a most energetic
missionary.

nearby city mob collected and
assaulted the Jail, trying to To-
cate several murderers now

ately the officers of the law
protected their charges. The
initial cause for this uprising is
lue to the fact that criminals
are not dealt with severely
enough in that particular city

too lax in the performance Of
their duty, allowing the "vag''

Last evening about $50 as
DR.. Baughton was returning
from a case in the county, he
was driving down Mill street,
and as he turned the corner by
the Third ward school house,
four or five boys and girls on a
"bob' run into his buggy. 1t
seems as though they ran be-
tween the horse and and the
buggy, and it is really miracu-
lous that they were not all bad
ly wounded. AS it was, C. P.
Christiansons son had his collar
bone broken. The Doctor took
the boy home and dressed his
wounds, easing the pain as
much as possible. Maybe it is
a good thing in one way, the
snow is melting, for We heard
of another narrow escape this
morning, tsleighing is great

The game at Woodbine ended
in a tie, 8 to 8.

Mo. Valley, with Maud Mac

umpire started in calling Class
A fouls calling six on Mabel
Mills. 1t seemed to us that it
was as much the Woodbine
guard "shouldering" Mabel as
the other way. Their guarding
has improved greatly since the
game here. The whole game
was succession of fouls, Mo.
Valley at the end Of the first
half having made 5 from free
throws and Woodbine four. The
second half was refereed by
Mr.. Howe of Woodbine. When
time was called Woodbine had
made four more, two field
throws, making their score g,
Mo. Valley also having made 3
from free throws. The Mo.
Valley girls played a good fast
game each girl doing her best
altho' some had been somewhat
disheartened by the talk they
heard of disqualifying for Class
A fouls which are for kicking,
hacking, shouldering, pushing,
elbowing, and intentional rough
play.
Their hall was very small
and uncomfortable from the
cold but the Woodbine people
were very kind to our girls
having provided supper at the
Columbia for ten of them. A
crowd of about twenty-five
went down from the Valley to
root for our team.
Everybody who went enjoyed
it greatly. This team of Wood
bine's will play the team who
defeated the Seniors two weeks
ago sometime in the near fu-
ture.
