State, are 10 be avoided Names such
as Elk, Beaver. Cottonwood. and Bald

Names OF living persons should be ap-
piled very rarely. and only persons Of

in crying one day, having been
struck a. severe blow on her arm by
a peasant boy with whom she was
playing. !. The arm was black and
blue and she sobbed bitterly to her
father to go out and punish the ur-
chin.
The count took his little daugh-

a long time. Madam Tolstoi did not

story, until she heard the count saw,

An exchange parallels the United

whereof it talks. In the first place a
seat in the house of lords is held only
by inheritance, and, in the second,
graft is almost unknown among it's
members. There are hundred other
particulars in which the two organic
ations are dissimilar, but the above
are sufficient for the purpose of com
parison. This is not saying, however,
that we advocate the maintenance of a

If, as scientists contend, the mosquito

it's prevention seems to lie within the

in the twin cities contributed directly

Treasurer Lynch of the democratic
state committee at the close of the
