Your style is too straightforward and

Your articles are not the least high
sounding or poetical;
They jar on me, my nature is so daintily

The arguments you use are to my notion
quite heretical-
Sing Boob! to you
Pooh! Pooh! to you!
And that's what should say.
I'd tell him that he ought to make his
articles more jocular-.
Sing Bah to you!
Ha! Ha! to you'll
And that's what should say;
To write his stuff with tongue in cheek

Sing Tush to you!
Pish! tush! to you'll
And that's wyatt should say.
Your notions are too honest and your
manner to didactical;
Your methods are not devious, your

In short, you're not admired by a politi-

So Hey to you!

Chapter 2z of the Revised Laws of
minnesota, 1905, entitled "Forestry
and Fire Wardens," requires the
Forestry Commissioner to prepare
an abstract of the penal laws relat-
ing to forest and prairie fires, and
he may require any county board
to cause at least three weeks pub
lisIed notice thereof to be given. The fol-
lowing is accordingly hereby published:
State of Minnesota, Office of Forestry
Commissioner.
St. Paul, MIMI, March Is, 1906.
The law of the State of Minnesota for
the prevention of foresc and prairie fires
makes it misdemeanor, punishable by
fine of not exceeding one hundred dol
lars or imprisonment in jail not exceed
ing three months, to kindle fire near
forest or prairie land and leave it I'M
quenched. Said law makes town super
visors, village presidents and mayors of
cities fire wardens. They are required
to lnforce it's provisions, post notices of
its penalties, patrol their districts in dry
seasons, go to the place of danger to
prevent or control fires, employ or COM
! pei assistance in emergencies, lnyesti-
gate and Immediately report fires, and
make complaint before magistrate of
violations of the law when they have
| requisite information thereof. County
attorneys are to assist in prosecutions
Every person must comply with war
den's call for assistance unless he has
justitiable excuse. Neglect to comply
with any of the foregoing duties incurs
the penalty first above mentioned.
| Destruction or DETACHMENT OF posted
notice incurs similar penalty. Railroad
companies are required to use efficient
spark arresters on their locomotive
engines, keep their right of ways clear
of combustible material Except ties),
post warning placards conspicuously at
every station IN the vicinity of forests
and grass lands, and extinguish any fire
occurring near their roads subjecJ to
forfeiture of not exceeding one hundred
dollars for eacL offence.
Fire wardens are responsible for the
enforcement of the law in their dis
tricts. They should especially endeavor

meadows or for other purpose in dry
season.

fish ponds, grab bngs, etc. AL the usual
accessories Of a we'll conducted bazaar.
Supper at six O'Clock and during the
evening. The program includes music
ETC. for the entertainment ofpatrons.
Everybody is invited. Come to supper
and spend. the evening.
The school board held a meeting at
the court house last Monday morning
and disposed of some routine business.
The main object of the meeting was to
talk over the matter Of the proposed
new school building, for which purpose
the people of the district were invited to
attend. There was not vely general
response to the invitation, presumably
because the object of the meeting was
not we'll understood by the people. But
those present expressed their views
freely, Offering such suggestions MS
might be useful. The meeting agreed
that in constructing a building the rap
i'd increase of the school population
Must be taken into account and that
there must be ample provision for the
future; that it would probably be econ
omy to put up an eight-room building.
The clerk was instructed to secure data
as to school buildings of the size that is
considered necessary for this district
upon which somewhat satisfactory judy
ment can be based. Then at some later
date the board will ask the people to
meet and give the matter further con-
sideration.

Boy Laborers on a Strike.

The Grand Marais Realty company
has force of boys at work burning the
brush that was cut from the streets in
Harbor Addition last fall. The boys
are divided into several small crews, each
crew working under the direction of a
boy foreman. The foreman is charged
with the duty of keeping the time of the
crew and the other customary response.
biities of that position. The boys are
doing good work and there is interesting
rivalry between the crews. But that the
foremen should receive extra pay when
they do no moro work than the others
doesn't jibe with the boys notions of a
square deal.
After working one day the boys con-
cluded that the pay was too small and
that they must have raise. They went
IN body to Van johnson, the superin-
tendent of the job, and presented their
case. but they found him as hard as a
coal baron to deal with. Their demand
was refused. Then they withdrew for
further consideration of the matter and
it was decided to strike. Van was duly
notified. Finding that this didn't move
him they proposed compromise, they
would split the difference with him.
No; they must come to- the office and
get their time, every kid in the bunch
Again they retired, talked it over some
more, declared the trike off and return
ed to work at the old SCALE :.::>
But Van relented afterwards and
granted them the raise demanded. =.
