AN IDEAL STALL.

When one is financially able to have
the stalls which combine all the con-
veniences they are very desirable, but
the average farmer must put up with
much less. The ideal stall has space
between feed rack and gutter of eight
feet and is five feet wide. A feed rack
Is arranged so that the animal may
get at the hay or roughage easily yet
not waste a great deal of it, At one
end of the feed rack is feed box suf-

such events in a suitable way may be

birthday comes round, or some we'd
ding anniversary is to be celebrated
An extra dish, little bunch of flowers,
or some special music prepared for the
occasion, will show the kindly spirit

festivals are encouraged, they will

A WOMAN PATENT ATTORNEY.
The experience of Miss Florence
King, Of Chicago, patent attorney,
shows that the "self-made woman"
has arrived along with the ''self-made
man." of whom America has long been
proud. She handles the most intricate
inventions and complicated cases, and
practices in the Supreme Court of the
United States. She became famous
when she won the case of Mrs. Hamil-
ton Rogers against great corporation,
n case which men attorneys had repeat
edly refused TO touch as hopeless.
She was born in a log cabin, left an
orphan at five, went to district school,
earned her first money in the kitchen
ut S1.25 a week, worked her own way
through college, started business life as
stenographer, studied law, special
lied in patent law, and after various
other successes was admitted to the
Supreme Court in 1903. She took a
course in mechanical and electrical ell
gineering at Armour Institute, and can
pass, 1t is said, expert opinion on me-
chanical inventions before presenting
them at the Patent Office.

SELECTING AND COOKING FISH


Fish should enter into the diet Of
both healthy people and invalids. Its
chief disadvantage for folks in good
health is that it is not satisfying. This
Is largely owing to the great amount
of water that it contains.
1t is an agreeable change from meat.
Any white fish is easily digested. To
be really good and wholesome fish
should not only be strictly fresh, but
in season. 1t should no more be eaten
out of season than game, says the Bos-
ton Traveller.
Care should be taken also that the
fish Is mature, so that the flavor of the
meat may be at its best. After spawn
ing 1t makes a very poor diet. The
flesh is then soft and of a blush color
and after it is cooked 1t has not the
fakiness that characterizes good fish.
Fish must be perfectly fresh, otherwise
serious results may follow after eat
Ing It. 1t deteriorates more quickly
than most food and consequently the
first essential Is freshness. If 1t is at
all "woolly" its flavor is gone and the
meat is insipld.

Literature in a Newspaper.

The Atlanta Georgian, John Temple
Graves editor, has been often heralded
as somewhat different newspaper, but
how different one is unprepared for
until he has been thrust without re-
course into the midst Of its editorial
page. The lined bird f1utters but it
cannot escape. Once brought in con-
tact, with a Georgian editorial it is
fruitless to struggle. One is held as
was the wedding guest. The snaky
fascination of the Ancient Mariner was
as mugWumpery to the regular ticket
for democrat. The Georgian thrills,
enthralls, engulfs. It annihilates tho
past; it obliterates the future. There
is naught but the pin pointed present
and thatsis pricking gaily from flower
to flower of the Georgian eloquence. 4
It has been often said there is a diff
ference between newspaper writing and
literature. There is. In most news.
papers the style is a little below litera-
ture. III the Georgian it is miles and
furlongs above anything literature has
yet attempted. Listen to this paean on
summer, which it appears had just
closed s It's subscription account and

The Mississippi and the Panama
Canal. 50.

Tho accompanying map suggests the
interest which this city has in, the i'm.
provements Of the upper Mississippi riv-
'er in its relation to the canal across
the isthnus. The Panama canal is des-
tined not only to connect the Pacific
and the Atlantic coasts Of our own coun-
try more closely by water transporta-
ton, but with the great system of in
ternal waterways already in course Of
construction it serves an important pur.
pose with respect to the interior as well.
With the Mississippi river navigable
from the falls Of st. Anthony to New
Orleans Nor boats drawing six feet Of
water the Panama canal begins to look
like somthing of local Importance.
That, the Mississippi river is to be
made navigable by boats Of that draft
lis part Of tho existing plan Of the gov
eminent and an undertaking declared
to be entirely practicable by the gov
eminent engineers. Indeed, still better
navigation facilities are regarded as
practicable by engineers Of experience
and attachments. Lyman e. Cooley.

Rooseveltism in Minneapolis,

The people had installed at Wash

rop, when he was speaking Of that gen
eral uplif. Of popular sentiment which
made the Sunday closing policy Of
Mayor ones timely and possible. The-'
odore Roosevelt had lifted up the sen-
timent Sofsgthe country to such an ex-
tent that what might not have been
practicable, because not supported by
popular favor. at, any earlier period was
met by the.people Of thisocitya by de-.
gree of approval and a measure Of sup
port by our great. business and social
and labor organizations, that was truly
magnificent And from this he argued
that. the people of Minneapolis would
voice in the most effective way at their
command next Tuesday the wholesome
feeling and conviction which has now
so thoroly permeated the community.
The meeting last night was the finest
demonstration of the strength Of the
spirit of civic righteousness ever, seen
in this city, and it is good thought
to; take to- the polls, as DIR. North
rop suggested, that the Jones policy is
within its sphere genuine example
of Rooseveltism. 49,,

Ou1y Wants Justice.

Ny name was signed to commun1-
cation printed in recent issue Of T b Q
GU IN al expressing regret that the
friends Of Mr.. Hubert, city treasurer.
should feel it necessary to resort to
respecting the duties of the city treas
urer. objected because it was made
to appear that the collection of interest
on city funds by the city treasurer was
entirely voluntary, but I objected
more particularly because the fact that
our present city treasurer has collected
such interest and paid it into the city
treasury should be accounted virtue
on his part while much more conspicu..
GUS service to the state on the part Of
his competitor should only be made the
occasion for slurs and, insinuations and
persistent attack by Mr. Hubert g sup
porters. In spite of: the several com
munications which have since appeared
upon this subject, am still Of the
opinion that the. collection Of interest
on city funds by the, city. treasurer is
not a ".xoluntafy net, but something
plainly required by our law.
Communication. however, that am not
making any attack upon the character
Of the present city treasurer whom re-
spect,. but I am. indignant that his
friends Of the press and of the stump
should .tesort to MISREPRESENTATION and
abuse in order to. injure his competitor,
man who as a public officer not only
turned into the state Of Minnesota all
that was due, but compelled others to
restore to the people hundreds Of thous-
ands Of dollars Of which they had been
robbed. Any officer can drift with the
tide and draw his salary; 1t takes 9
man Of courage and high sense OF
public duty to do what S. T. johnson
did when he was on guard over the pub

IA, 4 Northheld News.
; David Percy Jones, the mayor Of Min
neapolis, who Is conducting a vigorous
campaign for denomination; is well and
favorably known in Northheld. For
many years he has been an active trustee
Of Carleton college, and is now vice
chairman Of its board. His voice is occa-
sionaly heard here, and as at the dedi-
cation Of Laird science hall, always with
pleasure and profit. -
;. The people of Mortified are therefore
interested In the man who is in the
storm center Of the municipal struggle
in Minneapolis. He Is broad minded,
clear headed, progressive man, abreast
of the times, interested in politics not
because Of politics or for what he can
get out Of it, but for the good of the city.
He bears an unsullied record as alder
man; president Of the council and mayor,
and his record shows growth Of breadth
and grasp as the situation has opened up
before him. During his two years In
cumbency of office Mayor Jones has re-
trieved the city from the malodorous no.
toriety OF the Ames regime; he has
cleaned UP and reorsanized the police de-
partment Improving both the personnel
and discipline of the force by substitute
ing efficiency and capacity as tests for
the tenure Of office, in place of pull and
e. T
plague spots and redeemed whole areas
Of it for legitimate business, he has put
public gambling under the ban and has
regulated, the liquor traffic by enforcing
laws against selling to minors. against
wanerooms and 'blind pigs" and against
the opening OF saloons on Sunday. He
declares that the domination OF the sa-
loon in politics is the keynote Of the
present campaign, and has put himself
on record with characteristic boldness
which has staggered his opponents with
an appeal for support not on the general
record OF his administration, but on the
definite and paramount issue OF the sa-
loon. Mayor Jones has thus staked the
issue Of the campaign on law enforce
ment, and has brought Minneapolis into
/ line with st. Louis, Baltimore, Kansas
CITY and Philadelphia in the movement.
which is abroad in the land for law and
order and good government. The impe-
rial city OF the great northwest cannot
lafford to repudiate the administration
which has rehabilitated her. and the
News hopes confidently to see Mayor
Jones receive an overwhelming endorse
ment at the primaries on Sept. IS.

IT has g practical mission as a health

ing place. and it should be built, not
upon the street to become the CAPPED
at oflaH passing strangers. 1t should
have the privacy Of the house with the
breeziness of the outdoors.
The porch therefore, should be
placed at the back Of the house instead
Of at its front. This should be done,
says Indoors and Out, even if the kitch-
en- has to be showed to the side or for
ward. Built at the rear the porch may
be extended to cover as much land as
IS available. It may then be used as
