Yes, Franklin is q name to conjure
by; for he is both hero and brother.
History has not CLOSED over the facts
of his life as it has done with Wash
ington biographers have presented
Benjamin Franklin to us as very
human human. And therefore en-
deared; as Lowell says:
His magic was not far to seek,
He was so human"
Franklin was no saint. perhaps we
may call him an honest sinner. For
honesty was his in as great degree as
simplicity. To the end he was I'M
affected unassuming, so devoted to the
rich interests of life he had no thought
to waste on world renown, or the ac-
emulation Of vast wealth. We like,
among the numberless interesting
dote told of his manner of announcing
the result of his Investigations in the
subject of electricity, the discovery of
the identity of lightning with cleo
tricity. Some three calm months after
the notable kite experiment, he wrote
short letter to London paper, tell
ing that in Philadelphia such an ex-
pertinent had been made, and simply
signed his initials to the announce
ment.
We like also his calm attitude of
taking either praise or blame. When
learned society and university, at home
or abroad, conferred upon him honors
and degrees in appreciation of his IL
lustrious achievements, he smilingly
accepted the appreciation, but on the
| whole seemed rather amused than
pulled up. During his residence in
England as representative for the colo
| MES, when he was harshly censured
| by the mother country and colonists.
| he took reproof with silence, bided his
| time. 1t would seem a most desirable
| attribute for diplomat to possess, a
| philosophic bent.
A we'll recognized authority tells us
| Franklin's greatest service to America
was undoubtedly due to his skill in
diplomacy. His public-spiritedness
early indicated and continuing as long
as life; his tireless studies and broad
grasp of affairs; his prestige among
| scientific men of international celebri-
| ty; his neat wit and ability to get at
/ the heart of a matter; all these tended
| to build up the success of our so very
successful diplomat And perhaps it
would not be out of place here to re-
view his services as our representa-
tive. On the mission to England he
succeeded IN obtaining what he had
been primarily sent out for, that the
descendants of William Penn, proprie-
tors Of Pennsylvania be mads pay

The most remarkable thing about
the career of Justin Mccarthy, who has
been brought prominently to the front
again, both in literature and in poll
tics, is the tremendous amount of WORK
he has been able to accomplish. Novel
list, journalist, historian, politician and
party leader, he has found time to
travel widely and to cultivate delight
full social relations with most Of the
leading literary, artistic and political
people of his time. And in spite Of the
energy and thought devoted to political
causes he has been continually pushing
on some special and important liter
airy undertaking of engrossing inter-
est. involving an enormous amount of
labor. How he has accomplished it

haps his wife has ever found out

Jones. the vessel rechristened Bon
Homme Richard. Franklin obtained
for his country, bankrupt and almost
ing to many millions of francs, and
this in spite of the vigorous opposition
of Necker, the French statesman and
financier
And to turn from big things to
small, let us make mention of the fact
that he was called upon constantly
while carrying on negotiations with
France to deal with petitions from
French men and women of all sorts,
and that his good nature and diplo-
macy and well-known benevo,ence
were sadly taxed thereby. In a recent
number of Lippincott's there is a very
interesting article on "Franklin's
Trials as a Benefactor." the material
obtained from hitherto unpublished
sources in the possession Of the Amer
lean Philosophical society. We are
! treated to some characteristic memo
randa, and the brief article shows us
Franklin as both wit and philanthropy

The author of Poor Richard" was
thrifty and shrewd, but not mercen-
airy. In his printing business he made
enough money to provide comfortably
for the day when he should be too old
to earn more, but he had none of our
present ages grip of greed" He
would take 10 money for his inven-

longed to mankind He early formed
the habit of giving, and the habit re-
manned fixed. There were long years
in which to indulge this beneficence,
! for his span of life was no short one
from January Il, 1905, to April II,
! 1890.
They used to call Franklin atheist,
but the mature Franklin was. to use
/ a term of to-day, liberal Christian.
In his youth he played with skepti-
cism, and yet it was in his youth he
wrote the epitaph which bespeaks
faith: The body of Benjamin Frank

was not among Franklin's faults. An

The military academy at West Point
Is reported to be contemplating the
addition of the beginnings, at least,
of knowledge of cooking to it's cur
riculum, and along with the report is
another that the women's colleges and
seminaries denounce the move as en-
tirely outside West Points education
al field. With all respect for these
women's schools, they are wrong.
Probably no American officer ever
went to war without regretting that
he and all other officers and men had
not been taught cooking. Cooking is
quite as important for a soldier as
fighting. and the only wonder is that
West Point did not teach its rudi'
ments long ago.

Lars Olson, residing northeast of
town, accidentally broke one of her
arms just above the elbow the latter

Granite Falls Journal: A delega-
ton Of twenty-three gentlemen from
Montevideo visited .Granite Falls by
boat Monday. They came down in
two gasoline launches, landing above
the city dam. All said the trip was
a pleasant one, and no trouble what
ever was experienced in making the
trip.
Granite Tribune: G. L. Parkhill
of Redwood Falls was in town one
evening last week and we acknowl-
edge a pleasant call. The big
fellow is mighty good company
and his internal organ called his
heart is big abnormally SO. His
wife was remembered by his neigh
bors, on the eve of her departure
for Minneapolis, with a beautiful
present, showing that the whole
family is appreciated by those who
know them.
Mrs. Johanna Macho was struck
by the way freight coming from the
west on the Northwestern road Mon
day morning and instantly killed.
The accident occurred near the
cemetery, some distance out of New
Ulm. DR.. Stricken and DR., Wich-
erski were also sent to the scene of
the accident, but when they arrived
there was no need Of a physician.
The neck of the old lady was broken
and one of her legs fractured and it
is apparent that she never knew
what struck her, death must have
been instantaneous.
A. C. Won Hagen has disposed of
his Golden Gate property, the beau
tiful summer resort that has at
tracted the attention of so many for
the past year, to the Sleepy Eye
Milling Co., which simply means
that more people besides himself
will have an interest in the property
and that it will no doubt be better
improved than heretofore and its
pleasure will be distributed to more
people. There is to be bowling
alley and other features of amuse-
ment and swimming pools, so that it
will be an ideal place for those who
are privileged to enter its gates.
tuberculosis among cattle seems
to be constantly on the increase.
DR.. Golden recently inspected a
herd belonging to Carl Frederick in
Morgan township and found five of
them afflicted with the disease. 1t
behooves every farmer to have their
stock inspected at once to stop it's
spreading, not only saving the cattle
but to prevent it from becoming the
foci of contagion in human beings.
The disease, which is unquestionably
the greatest danger that the coun-
try has to deal with, is not con-
tagious, tho it is infectious, and it
could be easily controlled if the
public were more awake to its real
nature. On the principle that an
ounce of prevention is worth
pound Of cure, it would be much
better, easier and cheaper to pre-
vent this disease than to cure it,
and every owner Of stock should take
this matter in hand at once.

Taps were sounded for more than
5000 war veterans during April, ac-
cording to Pension Commissioner
Warner, and it is the largest num-
Der of deaths recorded in one month

still on the roll, but at this rate of
decrease the roster would be en-
tirely wiped out in nineteen years.
During a recent thunder storm
lightning struck saloon building in
Lamberton, setting it on fire in
places, but not injuring any of the
occupants of the place, which is
credited to the fact that water is
the best liquid conductor of cleo
tricity. This fact has also made
water an unpopular beverage among
many Sanbornites since that time.
The people of Minnesota, accord
ing to an investigation made by
Edward Peterson, state fire marshal,
are being overcharged more than
$600,000 annually by fire insurance
companies, says the St. Paul Daily
News. Mr.. Peterson has been COM
piling figures since April, with the
result that he has discovered that
during the past ten years the excess
of premiums paid by Minnesota in
surers in fire insurance companies
over that of other states has reached
total of S5,971 PSI.
An excerpt from the. write-up of
the Decoration day exercises the
Lamberton Star says: Here the
chairman of the meeting, Mr.. Here
man, introduced the speaker of the
+ day, Hon. A. D. Stewart of Red
wood Falls, who delivered an ex-
cellent address which was filled with
patriotism that inspired the people
with more love for the old veterans,
the dead who defended our nation,
and the glorious flag which every
patriotic citizen so much adores.
Mr.. Stewart is an able orator and an
eloquent speaker, and received many
words of commentator at the close
of his address.
New Ulm Journal: John Brown,
who some years ago was resident
of this city and is we'll known by
many of the people of this place,
arrived in the city last week and
has been spending some time with
relatives and friends here. He has
been stationed in charge of some of
the business of the J. |. Case manu-
featuring company in the Argentine
Republic at Buenos Ayres for a
number of years and will return to
that city in South America in few
days. He speaks very interestingly
of the country, its people and their
habits, and says that he would
rather live there than here if the
country was as we'll governed and
as highly civilized as this. The
climate is fine and the facilities for
making money are better than here.

w. A. Drake, of the s. F. P. X P. railroad, in discussing the future of the Santa Fe railroad in this territory. stated that it was the intention of the main line to reduce grades wherever possible. The heavy grades over the mountain are to be eliminated by going south of Williams and between Need les and Williams the heavy grades would be cut out at once. The sur veys have already been made and work would soon be commenced. The grade through Kingman will pass along Oak street to the west of Oak Creek wash and then pass down the canyon at higher grade than the present roadbed. It swings south to a point near Boulder and follows down the high ground to Drake, where it will again enter the main line, or old grade.

Henry P. Ewing, the blind miner, fell down the shaft of the Nixie mine near Vivian, on the 14th of June and was so badly injured that when he succeeded in getting out of the shaft he was compelled to remain in his tent. where he was discovered on the I4th of July. He was brought to King man Tuesday last by George B. Ayres and is now getting along all right. Ewing had been working alone in the mine and going down the ladder missed his footing and fell about thirty feet. Some of his teeth were knock ed out, one leg so badly wrenched that he could not use it, and he was bruised all over the body. In this condition, and with poor water and food, he was confined to a tent for thirty days. On ly few men are working in that sec tion of the county.

Work on the Mocking Bird mine is developing that property in a wonder ful manner. The vein is quite flat and shafts are being sunk at intervals over a large section of country, opening the mine at varying depths. At no point has the vein been found barren, but in many places the ore is found to be exceptionally rich. J. D. Jordan is experimenting the work.

It is reported that a nice body of ore has been uncovered in the Champion mine. west of Cerbat by the Arizona Mexican Mining x Smelling company. This mine produced thousands of tons of rich ore in the years gone by, much of which was smelted at Benson, Ari- zona, while M. Salisbury operated the smelling plant at that place. The shaft had been sunk to the point be- tween wind and water and there abandoned. Should it be sunk below the change there is no doubt that large ore bodies will be uncovered.
 E. Riveroll, who has bond on the Pinkham mine and is one of the pat entees of the oil burning smelter at Chloride, came in from that place Sunday last and departed to Los An geles the same evening. He returned Tuesday morning and is again at the mine. He reports the opening up of a body of ore on the lower level of the Pinkham that runs about eos in gold, silver and copper. It is proposed to make shipments of this to the shelter until such time as the plant at the mine is in working order. The Pink ham mine is one of the big properties of the Chloride section, but it ought to be sunk on to demonstrate fully its condition at depth. It is in the big copper belt of the district and the vein is one of the largest in camp.
