the last 1851.
They consist of silk ribbon and paper,
ball shaped and are covered with rosettes

represent a romantic custom of very an
cient origin and are sacred to the memory
of girls who while betrothed I'm their youth,
lost their intended husbands by death, yet

Each maiden designed her own garland,
and at her death this simple emblem was
borne before her by the village lasses, the
white gloves being afterward added. After
the obseouies these garlands were suspended
in the village church on rod bearing at its
extremity a. heart in the shape of an es-
cutcheon. upon which the initials and date
were inscribed These were originally fixed
above the maiden's pew
Some of the earliest and forgotten gar

Dog Remembered His Errand.

From the Westminster Gazette
A new and true addition to the endless
string of dog stories is told by CORE
spondent In a country village on the Con-
tinent.
The village innkeeper had trained his dog
to go every day at certain hour and fetch
his masters paper from the office where 1t
was printed. One day on his way home the
dog met an old enemy; the two engaged In
a fight, and the newspaper came to grief.
When his foe had skunk away the victor,
with an anxious look in his eyes. stood over
the tatters.
At that moment a gentleman holding a
foreign paper came into view. walking leis-
urely along, and the dog at once, and with
out a sign of agitation. took hold OF 1t and
carried it to his master. whose astonish-
ment at receiving foreign paper gave way
to pride and vainglory when the victim OF
this example OF shameless highway robbery,
planned the situation.

Going Home.

More than a thousand Hungarians
and Slavs from the anthracite coal
regions attempted to obtain passage
on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse which sailed for Europe from
Hoboken on March 9th. Only $50 Of
the would-be passengers could be ac-
commodated and the others were
forced to remain behind and await
another steamer. The men said that
they were only the advance guard OF
thousands of their fellow countrymen
who will leave the coal fields within
the next few weeks for their homes.
They appeared to believe that a
strike in the coal regions is certain
to come and said they have decided to
go home to remain until the trouble
is settled.

The Indian Payment.

A resident OF Cass Lake who has
attended several payments of the an
nuity to Indians makes the following
facetious comments on the same, the
similarity will be recognized by all
who have ever had the pleasure of
witnessing one of the Indian pay
ments. The Cass Laker says:
San Indian payment is a thing
they have up, on the reservation. es-
pecially at Red Lake The payment
takes place whenever the department
feels like letting go of the coin.

If he is only baby, the department
benevolently decides to hold it for
him on the ten or fifteen-year endow-
ment plan. The way of payment is
this: The government suddenly de-
cides that 1t will pay half or third
Of what it owes the Indians. So it
sends its agent To Red Lake TO make
the payment. The 1855 INDIANS
gather at the agency. As many as
have not been able to get whisky, sit
on the floor of the council house and
the chiefs talk Chippewa. They will
stand on their rights. They will

Southern Minnesota Papers Ar.
suins for tho Proposition.

Leading southern Minnesota papers
are urging that the legislature enact
laws prohibiting the shipping from
The state OF the crude ore taken from
| the. state, and are arguing at great
| length that such measure would re-
suit in great good for Minnesota says
The Eveleth Star.
The Winona Republican-Herald
says in the course Of one f a series Of
editorials on the subject:
When the shipment Of ore is stopped
manufacturers will come TO Mime
sofa and build plants for the rehand-
ling Of ore right where IL is found,
aud they would find it more profitable
10 ship the manufactured steel and
iron than they do now the raw ma
Jelial, which is rehandled at least
four times before it reaches the pres
ent steel plant. But they will never
make the change unless the state Of
Minnesota compelS Them To do 1t by
refusing To make future land leases
upon any other basis than that which
calls for the manufacturing of the
ore in tile state.
The Rochester Post and Record
coincides with this view, putting the
question in this manner:
The legislature could and should
enact laws prohibiting more land
leases, and providing that the ore in
the state should receive that ouI
people should receive that which is
pa Id TO Others outside the state. When
shipment Of ore Is stopped, manufac'
Lurers will come here. They cannot
help themselves.
The weak point OF these views Is
that il Is assumed that much Of the
ore mined comes from land belonging
TO the state, when such is not the
case. But small per cent is really
taken from such holdings And that
which is 50 mined must compete in
quality and price with that mined
from private property. Ii iron CAN
not be produced as cheaply from ore
taken from state mines as from pri-
sate property 1t viii be miaed.
AS the situation now stands it is
cheaper TO ship the ore east and there
put 1t through the various processes
that make it into iron aud steel.
This is due TO an absence Of cheap
fuel in Minnesota. Discover coal, ra-
Iural gas, or some other fuel with
which the smelling will be done and
The mining companies will quickly
erect smelters in the state and the
iron founders Will establish plants.
But under present conditions If the
p,licy advocated by the papers noted
Is adopted it will only result in the
cessation of the operation of the state
mining lands. 1t would be impossible
for those operating them to compete
with those operating independent
mines.
