The Tricks of the Trade.

1T is not enough to make true mir
rors," the dealer said, ..if that were
all ours would be indeed a simple
business"
He was walking complacently over
his huge shop, which hustled and
hummed with brisk fall trade.
"Dressmakers and milliners," he
explained, ''require mirrors of all
sorts. They need, for example, a
mirror that makes one look taller and
thinner. When they dress a fat, short
patron in one of their new hats or
suits, they lead her to this mirror,
and she is so surprised and pleased
with the change for the better in her
looks that, straight off, she buys.
For masseurs I make a mirror
that, like a retouched photograph,
hides blemishes, wrinkles, scars. The
masseur takes the wrinkled face of
some rich old woman, steams it,
thumps it, pinches it and smacks it for
an hour, and then holds up to it the
mirror that gives blurred, blemish-
hiding reflection. The woman thinks
her wrinkles are gone, and is happy
till she gets home to- her own true
mirror:
Altogether, I make some twenty
varieties of false mirrors. Statesmen
and saleswomen, in millinery and
dressmaking establishments, can
double and quadruple their business
if they are quick and def in their
selection of the mirror that fatters
each patron BEST"

P. R0ADSTR0M WEEDS
Miss rlinnie Wickstrom, Daughter of
John Wickstrom of Wyanett,
is the Happy Bride.

at Residence of rlr. and Mrs.
Wikeen Last Evening.

P. L. Roadstrom was married last
night at 8 O'Clock to Miss Minnie
Wickstrom, daughter of John Wick
strom of Wyanett. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. E. Carlson at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. P. j.
Wikeen in the presence of small
number of relatives and friends of the
contracting parties. Mrs. c. A. Pier
son of Faribault was the bridesmaid
and Ralph Pierson the groomsman.
The BRIDES wedding gown was
pretty and most becoming creation of
silk batiste. She carried a bridal
nosegay of white roses and the brides
maid a bouquet of pink roses.
The parlor of the Wikeen home had
been transformed into veritable
bower OF flowers and. evergreens, and
as the bride and groom approached
an improvised altar the strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march, played
by Miss Edna Whitney, filled the room
with sweet melody. s..
At the conclusion of the impressive
LutheranA wedding ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the dining
room, which was artistically decor
ated with cut flowers and ferns where
a sumptuous wedding supper had been
provided. ..z.
The wedding presents received by
the bride and groom were numerous
and many of them of considerable
value.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roadstrom departed
for Cambridge Immediately after the
wedding supper and from there pro-
ceeded to Minneapolis. They will be
at home in the Mudgett house within
short time.
The bride, who formerly lived in
Wyanett, but who has for the past ten
years been a resident of Minnea polls,
is a young lady of many accomplish
ments and is much esteemed in her cir
Gle of acquaintance, while the groom
is a highly respected and progressive
young business man of Princeton.
Among those from a distance who
were in attendance at the wedding were
Victor Dahlstrom and Mr.. and Mrs.
Osberg, Minneapolis, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Olson, St. Paul.

The iron ore lease of four to five
hundred million tons of ore by James
J. Hill to the United States Steel cor.

of the, worlds iron ore production

hundred million tons Gin sight,"
The American iron ore output is
about forty million tons. Conse.
quently the United States Steel com.
pany hasaenough ore in sight to sat.
isfy the average national demand for
about forty years. The annual output
of the Minnesota mines is about
twenty million tons; so Mr.. Hill's
lease covers volume of ore equal to
the aggregate Minnesota output for
about twenty years.
Comparing the United States Steel
holdings with those of other holdings
and with the holdings of this country
outside of this corporation, we find:
That this single company has two.
thirds more iron ore in stu than either
Great Britain or Sweden, materially
more than either France or Russia.
nearly as much as the German EN-.
pire, three times as. much as Spain.
and sixty-five per cent more than all
the other holdings in the United
States.
During the six years of it's organi-
cation, closing with this year. the
United States Steel company will have
mined 5000, 00O, tons of iron ore, or
about fourteen million tons year.
At this rate its present iron ore hold

Mr.. Hill calls for a materially greater
production. 1t is believed that it will
not be many years before the company
will be turning out annually 80, 600, 600
tons Of ore. 16, DOC, 900 tons of pig iron,
and a total iron and steel product
valued at billion dollars. That is

Refused Tainted Fortunes.

1t is safe to assume, notwithstand-
ing the fact that human nature is prob
ably less black than generally
painted, that the world contains very
few men who would refuse the bequest
of fortune for conscience sake-fewer
by far than men who have turned
away from wealth in order to espouse
women of their own choice.
Herr J. Brengwin, a young German
BIZ < clerk, is one of the few who have
set conscience before cash in this
manner. For some years Herr Breng-
win has been employed at modest
salary in a branch bank in Berlin,
and recently he became entitled to a
fortune of very nearly 100000 under
the will of an uncle of whom he had
scarcely ever heard, and who had
made him his sole heir.
Naturally enough, the young man
was delighted by his unexpected
stroke of good luck and, resigning his
clerkship, he repaired to Vienna,
where his uncle had lived and died, to
take over the estate, the bulk of which
was personal property. Becoming
aware that his uncle had amassed his
fortune by usury and that his name
had become byword in Austria, the
conscientious heir absolutely refused
to accept penny of the estate, res
olutely returning to Berlin and get
ting himself reinstated on his old
stool at the bank.
What was perhaps the largest for
tune ever refused for conscience sake
was that from which Frederick N.
CharringtOn, the famous temperance
advocate and religious worker in the
east end of London, turned aside.
MIR. Charrington was entitled to a
share of his fathers great brewery
business, one of the largest in Lon
don, and it is estimated that the share
he refused was worth &1, 25O,0OO when
he made up his mind that he would
not accept it.
The story is told of how he was led
to make his momentous resolve. He
CHANGED to be standing outside pub
lie house in the east end when he saw
drunken man shot through the doors
into the arms of wretched looking
woman, who was patiently awaiting
him. The drunkard struck the woman
and heaped the vilest abuse on her
without any apparent provocation:
and as they slouched away Mr.. Char
rington CHANGING to glance up, saw
his own name in large gilt letters on
the public house sign. It was one of
the brewery's tied houses.
Such was the impression left by the
incident upon Mr.. Charrington's mind
that he vowed thenceforth to have no
share in the trade which was product

Prime Object to Furnish Cheap Hen
Light and Power.

LlSnG ana rover.
Mr.. Yerkes, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, with the approval of
the secretary of the treasury, has is
sued the departmental regulations
controlling the making of denatured
alcohol, it's handling and uses.
These regulations follow and render
effective a law enacted by congress at
it's last session and which provides for
the withdrawal from bond, tax free, of
domestic alcohol when same is rem
dered unfit for beverage or liquid. me-
dicinal uses by the admixture of suit
able denaturing materials, and for the
use of the denatured article in the arts
and industries, and for fuel, light and
power. The law becomes effective
Jan. l, 1907.
This legislation is in harmony with
similar enactments adopted by nearly
all foreign countries. Great Britain
in 1855 legislated on this subject along
these same lines of our own law, and
France, Germany, Austria and virtu-
ally all the continental powers now
furnish their subjects alcohol free Of
tax for the uses above stated.
In discussing the new REGULATE ons
Mr.. Yerkes said:
''The prime object to be attained
by this type of Legislation is to fur
nish, for purely domestic uses and also
for what might be called industrial
domestic purposes, heat, light and
power, cheap alcohol with the hope
thereby that there will be reduction
of expenses in these departments.
''This denatured alcohol will be a
competitor with Illuminating oil, gas
oline and coal.
sit will also furnish to manufact-
urers, who use alcohol in the products
of their factories, alcohol free of the
heavy internal revenue tax now levied
on the same. This tax amounts to
about So per wine gallon on alcohol at
$50 degrees proof It is believed great
benefit will be derived by the people
by this legislation and this certainly
was in the mind of congress, for few
public measures received such hearty
and unanimous support as did this
"In preparing the regulations it was
essential to adopt rules that would
prohibit as far as possible, perpe-
tration of any and all frauds against
the revenue of the government by the
reclamation and republication of de-
natured alcohol through rehabilitation
or other processes through the re-.
moval of the ingredients added and
restoration of the alcohol to it's orig
inal condition for beverage and po-
table purposes. To secure these ends,
it will be necessary to use articles for
denatured purposes, and also use
such ingredients as are the most diff
cult to separate from alcohol by
chemical Or other processes.
in determining upon the denatur-
ing agents to be used the cost of same
is OF great moment, for to render this
new legislation of practical use and
benefit, it is necessary for the dena-
tured product to pass into the hands

Democratic Apologies.

The apologies the democrats are
now crowding upon the social-labor
party would sound more sincere if they
had not been made necessary by un-
called for abuse and wholly false ac-
cusations.5 When crocodiles shed
tears they are least to be trusted.
It is openly admitted that Mr.. John
W. johnson acted in good faith, and
now, with a dry wash in the hands
and pleading crook of the knee these
men who have dragged the social
labor candidates name in the mud
say they regret that his party is left
without candidate on the ticket.
It is really amusing, this demo-
cratic agony. The leaders were in
panic for fear the voters could not tell
the difference between, the democrat
johnson and the social-labor John
son. In their frenzy they saw all
kinds OF spooks and hobgoblins.
They lost their heads but not their
power of vituperation.
Now they are equally frantic be-
cause they fear they may lose the So
clal-labor vote, and appeal to the
laborites' Esprit of fairness" Ye
gods! Where did they ever learn the
words?-Duluth News-Tribune.

Cole Must Bear Brunt of Fight.


The republican candidates on the
state ticket seem confident and con-
ented to allow Mr.. Cole to do most of
the work. They feel that they will
pull through and that the head of the
ticket, as always, is supposed to fur
nish the political energy. On the
other hand, Mr.. Johnson is fortunate
in having on the ticket with him men
who have neither thought nor hope of
election, but are actuated by a desire
to save the head of the ticket. A lit
tie more telling work on the part of
republican candidates would be be-
coming to them.-Duluth News-Tri-
