THE council has appointed a
poundmaster, and it is now up to,
"the poor mans cow" to live up to
the provisions of7the city law. ~=E @21 r.
JACK MILES shows signs Of return
ling reason by his withdrawal from
the shrievalty fight. Miles is dead,
POLITICALLY. Let him rest in peace.
KANSAS undertakers have formed
a trust hereafter the funeral ex-
penses must be guaranteed or the
deceased will not be buried. Pretty
soon it will be unsafe to die for fear
some unscrupulous trust will reach
beyond the grave and extort tribute.
OUR English cousins do not un-
derstand the gentle art of taxation.
They have just raised the price of
bread / cent loaf. This will cause
no end of trouble. They ought to
avelightenedt the loaf three or four
ounces. Most people worry very
little over what they don't see.
/ JOHN D.RoCKEFELLER's outing in
the Jersey swamps. fleeing from the
arms of justice, has had a benefcent
effect upon his digestive organs and
he now says he "feels like rich
man." So would many another if
they had Johns pile, but the con.
tented man with cottage home
gets heap less cussing.
"IT isn't safe to~judge a man by
his clothes. The man with fringe
around the bottom of his pants, one
suspender, and his feet out to the
weather may be the local editor,
while the other fellow may have
spent the money rightfully belong
ing to the said editor for his own
new spring toggery. Such is life."
WITH Mr.. Vail in the state senate
and Mr.. Berdie in the lower house
of the Legislature the people of the
upper portion of St. Louis county
may rest assured that a, movement
would be made-toward a provision
for county division. That fact is
worth the consideration of the vot-
ers who are clamoring for separa-

end of the county-Mesaba Ore. =
The county division movement so
strongly launched by. the Virginia
Commercial Club has. seemingly
fallen by the wayside.s The last act
in the melodrama was the appoint
ment of a committee two months
lago, with Mayo Eaton as chairman,
to further the interests of division.
The interest of the charm IN. in the
movement is exempli fed in his fail
ure to call meeting of the commit
tee for organization.
The string fend of the News Trib-
une, who writes gush at the rate of
10 cents per gush, is authority for
the report that the Virginia ball
team will tackle the Hibbing push
a week from Sunday. Like many
other things to be found in the
string of the local correspondent,
the "news" has hot-air foun dation.
But he needs the money, and there
is less danger attached to securing
the coin in this way than it is in
robbing bank.
Bob BURDErTE says that the good
things in this world are always the
cheapest. Spring wheat costs less
than corn whisky; a box of cigars
costs as much as two or three bibles;
la gallon of old brandy costs more
than barrel of flour; full. hand
in poker costs man in twenty Sec
onds m ore than his church subscrip-
ton amounts to in three years; a
town election costs more than re-
vival of religion; people sleep halt
an hour in church free, but a nap
on Pullman costs $1.5O to So. p.
COBALT" the new mining district
in northeastern Canada, is begin
ming to attract attention in the
United States, and great rush of
miners and spectators is. starting
in that direction, The new district
is said to be tabulously rich in sill

surface, thus making it easy to ex-
