You've heard the joke about the lawyer who, in cross examining young lady asked her the question: "What Is your age'" She hesitated and he asked her again: "How old are you?" The lady was about to speak when the lawyer said: Hurry up every minute counts.

WILL SHARE IN THE ESTATE.
ST. Peter Residents Paid Sc, 900 BY

st. Peter, April l3.-Edsel and Leslie
Hammer of this city are to share $4,000
1t is a legacy that comes to them
through the death of their brother, Per-
cy Hammer, who lost his life in a rail
way tunnel in Montana.
Young Hammer died in peculiar man
ner. He was employed by the Great
Northern road as a locomotive fireman
and in passing through a long tunnel
both he and the engineer were overcome
by coal gas. In an effort to reach pure
air Hammer crawled out on the tender,
fell into the water tank and was drown
ed.
He carried $1,000 in life insurance
made payable to his father, but the lat
ter died prior to the accident and the
brothers living here are the only heirs
Their aunt, Mrs. NJ. j. Uhrig, has been
appointed as their guardian, and yester-
day she received a visit from a Great
Northern claim agent. He agreed to
pay $1,000 to Hammers estate, and it is
likely that the settlement will be made
on that basis.

THREE MEN AMBITIOUS.
Tawney, Sherman and Burton Have
Eye on the Speakership.

Washington, April l2.-Speaker Can
mons frank announcement that his am
bition is to serve only one more session
OF congress after this one, has started
talk concerning his successor.
If the sixty first congress is republi
can, as it should be, as the outcome of a
presidential year, the three men who will
be most conspicuous as candidates fol
speaker will be James A. Tawney, OF
Minnesota, James S. Sherman, of New
York, and Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio.
Each of these representatives will have
Il strong following. Sherman will be
backed by the New England and New
York and Pennsylvania delegations, and
should Serene f. Payne decide not to be
a candidate, Sherman will have the back
ing of the entire eastern states.
Tawney counts on the solid western
support. He is trying hard to make a
record as chairman of the house commit
tee on appropriations this session, but
some of his best friends think he is over
playing the part by antagonizing many
influential members, whose measures he
assails sometimes rather caustically.
The man who is really to be feared by
both Sherman AID Tawney is Burton.
He is one of the big men in the house of
representatives, and his leadership has
been demonstrated on several occasions
when by dint of his skilful management
he has overturned the tables so careful
ly set and maintained by what is known
as ''the organization"
Burton is admired for his absolute in
dependence, and should he make a cam
paign for the speakership on the plat
form of overturning the old cabal which
for many years has run the house ma
chine, he would in any event let the
country know that he was running.
Either Tawney or Sherman, to great
extent, would have the support of the
regular house organization. They will
be closely identified in the coming con-
gressional campaign, one as chairman
and the other as vice chairman. This
brings them into contact with every re-
publican candidate for congress, the old
as well as the new.
In 1898, when David B. Henderson was
elected speaker, James S. Sherman start
ed out to be candidate. He was Undue
ed to do so by Speaker Thomas B. Reed.
who, before he retired from the chair.
confided to Sherman his intentions. But
Serene Z. Payne thought that he should
have the support of New York state
and that clipped the wings of Sherman.
The fact that the middle west has held
the speakership ever since the retirement
of Thomas B. Reed will be of some help
to an eastern man.
Speaker Cannon has given his word
that after 1908 he will not serve as
speaker. BY many this is taken to mean
that he will be candidate for the prcsi-
dency that year.
He will be seventy years of age on
May Z, and the house of representatives
is going to honor him by grand recep
ton.

CUTS OUT TWO HOLIDAYS.
New Code Does Not Benefit Soho,
Teachers Much.

School teachers of this state cannot
have holiday Good Friday and count
the week for a full week Neither car
they have a holiday Thanksgiving day
ent j. w. Olsen has received several
dozen letters asking whether Good Fri
day is legal holiday, and he has beer
obliged to disappoint the teachers by
replying that it is not, says The st. Paul
Pioneer Press. Am examination of the
code reveals that neither is Thanksgiv-
ing a holiday, as far as the schools are
concerned.
Thanksgiving day is mentioned at tw'
places in the code. The paragraph max
ing provisionrfor the governor proclaim
ing a day of thanks adds that ''no bus
mess shall be transacted on, that day al
any of the departments of the state
Another paragraph provides that bills OF
exchange, promissory notes and contracts
due on Sunday, Good Friday, Thanks
giving or any legal holiday" shall be pay
able or performed the following day.
These two provisions are part of the
old law and Thanksgiving has never
been legal holiday. A provision in the
school laws, however, specified certain
days, including Thanksgiving, when nc
school should be held and the teacher
receive full pay.
The school laws in the code state that
sail legal holidays shall be counted part
of the school week." while a later section
of the code specifies that the word holi-
day shall include New Year, Lincoln's
birthday, Washington's birthday, indie
pendence day, Labor day, election day
and Christmas day.
