WHY DR.. HENSON OBJECTED.
StimuIant Advertised Not the Kind
He Had Referred To-.

The Rev. P. S. Henson, pastor of
fremont Temple, Boston, in speaking
about being quoted declared that
never in his life was he caused more
trouble and embarrassment than in
Chicago during his pastorate in The
Windy City. The embarrassment was
so great that he always carries man
uscript for the newspapers when he
speaks in that city. p.
Il was called upon to preach SER
mon on one OCCASION" he said, "and
choosing my own topic, opened with
the declaration, 'Stimulants are abso-
lutely necessary for daily life I could
see some of my audience gasp, but as
proceeded and said that it was neces-
sary to stimulate the soul, the mind,
our actions, add stimulus to our re-
ligion and exert ourselves to do good,
they readily saw the point. There
was one newspaper man present who
evidently did not know what my point
was and in his paper in the next edi-
ton was the glazing headline, DR..
Henson says stimulants are absolute
~ necessary for daily life'
That was not what faxed me, but
a few days later I saw the city bill
boards posted with large colored
sheets, with the advertisement, DIR.
Henson says stimulants are absolutely
necessary for daily life. Drink ------
whisky, the best stimulant on earth. !"

boo as Newsboy's Assistant.

-Esss&at Ivy do tNSWSOOy = VoSiSediIs
A small white dog who sells papers
near the Park street entrance to the
subway will soon be eligible for mem
bership to the newsboys' union, if the
officers can get over the difficulty of
deciding wherein to pin his badge,
says the Boston Herald. .#
He carries on either side, secured
by a strap around his body, a little
leather pouch about twice as large
as that used by men for holding foun-
tain pens and pencils. The dogs mas
ter sticks a paper into one pouch and
places another between his teeth. The
canine salesman does not hold his
wares long. Te attracts buyers rap
idly from all sides as the people come
and go from the subway and his
money bag is soon filled with pennies.
His maSter, who goes on crutches,
having lost one leg, keeps on regular
" furnishing the little chap with two
papers At a time as fast as he needs
them. The man said that he has five
similarly gifted dogs in training for
the newspaper business.

Champ Clark relates the experience
of a Western politician who was max

years ago.
This politician had come to pros
porous looking farm house at a cross

young woman standing at the gate.

JOKE WAS ON Mr.. GOLD.
Possibly Old Gobsa Regretted His
Extreme Economy.

Rear Admiral F. w. Dickins told in
Philadelphia the other day a good
story about very rich and very
economical f1nancier.
"The old gentleman-let us call him
Gobsa Cold" he said, was making
preparations for a Christmas ball
some years ago and at his wine
merchants discovered a cheap brand
of champagne.
"'This,' he said, is a good brand Of
champagne. It is quite good enough
for those young people who will come
to my Christmas ball. They couldn't
tell the difference, anyway
"And accordingly he ordered a
dozen cases of the cheap wine.
"A day or two before Christmas,
picking up his newspaper, he noticed
that his wine merchant had half
page advertisement. He ran his eye
over it and saw in big black letters
the paragraph:
"'Try our celebrated champagne at
$1.25 quart, as ordered by the emf
nent fnancier, Gobsa Gold, Esq, for
his forthcoming Christmas ball."

The state superintendent Of public
instruction, Mr.. Olson, recommends
the election Of county boards of
education to manage the educational
affairs of the county in the same
manner that city boards of educa-
tion now manage the city schools.
An important duty of such a board,
if created, would be the appointment
of county superintendent Of
schools By removing that Office
entirely from politics it is believed
that higher clasS men.can be secured,
men who are qualified by education
and experience to fill the position.
AS it is now no qualifications what
ever are required in order Ito hold
the office of county, superintendent,
and it is a fact that in many counties
very incompetent men are elected for
the place. In many counties first
class man may not be. available for
the Office, or if available may not de-
sire to go into a scramble and make
house to house canvass in order to
get elected. 1t is different with
the city superinUendents. They are
all men who have given years of their
life to thorough preparation for the
teaching profession, and must be men
of education, ulture and ability.
These trained men have made the
city schools Of the state the very
best in the land. With higher class
men as county superintendent, the
rural schools can be raised to a like
degree of efficiency. The election of
the county board of education might
be held in connection with the an
nual school meetings at very little
expense. The only undesirable fea-
ture is that it might infuse a little
politics into these meetings. But
the Sheaf believes the recommends
tions Of state superintendent Olson
are good, and ought to be embodied
in law. .~t-;.' .e-E.

ANDREW JACKSON NOT POOR.
Few Sons Have Had Such Advantages
as Were His, Says Writer.

Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged to the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help of family friends,
says Watson's Magazine.
=, Never did he taste the bitter cup of
physical want, of hunger and cold, OF
helpless, spirit-breakingpoverty. Never
was he without home and loyal friends
and a sufficiency of the comforts OF
life. Never was it his lot to suffer the
humiliation, that modification, that
inward bleeding wound which the
proud nature writhes under when
there is no money in the pocket, no
change of clothing for the body, as the
harassed day draws to it's end and the
wretched night comes on. J. &, - p

never in his whole life had a genuine

Few men have been more greatly in
debted to the intelligent affection OF
self-sacriicing mother. Few sons or
poor parents have had such advan-
tages as we're his lot, and few lads OF
poor parents did such a scanty amount
of manual labor Compared to the
rugged, self taught youth of BENJAMIN
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Sam Hous-
ton, and Nathaniel Greene, the boy

sumes the appearance of having been
cast upon "fowery beds of ease" =.

COOKED BUT NOT FROZEN.
Horrible Sight That Met the Woman
Who Loved Plants.

The young housekeeper had been
obliged to leave home over night and,
doing so in a hurry, had not time to
write down more than dozen or so
instructions for her husband to follow
in the conduct of their household az
fairs. 49,.
During the night it turned very
cold and the wife thought with many
misgivings Of her ferns and palms and
other plants left out of doors. In the
morning she telephoned her husband
and asked him about II questions as
to what he had done in her absence
If he had put the flannel cover on
the foot of the brass bed, if he had
folded up the pillow shams, if he had
found the supper she left for him, if
he had taken the cream off the dumb
waiter and sent down the trash, if the
laundry had come home, and so on,
and if he had by any possibility
thought to take in the plants.
Indeed, I did," he replied proudly;
they're all right. I brought them in
and took good care of them.
Much relieved, she hung up the re
ceiver. When she reached home that
afternoon the steam heat was on at a
high pressure and peculiar odo1
struck her nostrils. Her plants had
been placed with infinite care on the
radiators.

Thus Men Puzzle Women.

I'VE women" said a reflective mem
Der of the sex, "are said to be puzzles
to men. However that may be, it GER
tainly seems to me that the masculine
mind is at least as puzzling. Why is
1t, for instance, that man will de-
vote himself with the utmost ardor to
the task of winning a wife, and then,
having gained her, calmly settle down
as though there were nothing more
left to do? Is not the male reason
strong enough to perceive that love
is something SO elusive and subtle
that 1t needs to be nourished and pro-
tected after having been captured ?''--

Do Ostriches Ever Die?

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich will live. Some
Writers claim that it will live 100
years. Ostrlches which are known to
have been in captivity for 40 years
are still breeding and producing feath-
ers.
It is the experience of Arizona farm
ers that among the birds having good
nutritious green feed deaths seldom
occur, except as the result of acct
dent. A dog or other small animal
will sometimes brighten ostriches and
cause them to. run into the fence,
which may result in broken leg.
When this happens, the bird may as
well be killed as few ever recover
from such an injury. Geo

After All.

An amusing story is told of short
sighted but energetic member of the
Russian secret police. He was walk
ing through a little frequented street
of st. Petersburg one night when he
spied, high up on a lamp post q
placard.
.Aha!" he said to himself, seeming
mischief on the instant and alert for
action. That's one of those notices
about his majesty the car! It must
come down at once"
With difficulty, being Of somewhat
portly build, he succeeded in climbing
the post and dislodging the placard.
Peering at it by the light Of the lamp,
he read the Russian equivalent for the
well known legend: wet paint"

Of which Leonard Erickson, formerly
of Warren, is the secretary, has taken
firm stand for remedial freight rate
regulation. the club belives that
the smaller towns are being discrim-

freight rates, and that for that
reason many Industries that might
flourish in the smaller places, cannot

The west bound train on The Wheat
line Monday was held at Thief River
Falls from 100 O'Clock in the morn
ing until 4:30 in the afternoon on
account Of not having a fireman for
the locomotive. At last man from
the yard was secured to perform the
service, and the train started on it's
run westward. It is not snow alto
gether that is delaying and almost
suspending traffic on the Soo's west
line, but it is also lack of competent
help to run the trains. The COM
pany is paying good wages and it is
a wonder that more young men do
not try to learn the business Of rail-
reading. No doubt the labor unions
throughout the country are to great
extent responsible for this condition
OF affairs, as that org aniZation no
doubt discourages the drafting of
new men into the service. Nor has
the company the, proper equipment
for coping with the snow in the deep
cuts on the Dakota side. 1t should
have rotary snow plows to keep the
Wheat line open. We are told that
rotary has been ordered built for use
on this line but will not be ready for
some time yet. The people lnthe towns
reached only by the 500 have been
greatly Inconvenience, and in many
cases have actually suffered on
account of the irregular service. The
Great Northern has also had hard
time fighting snow on it's Dakota
line, but that company is bet
ter prepared to cope with the
snow and storms of winter. The
500 officials are being very much
criticised for the poor service, but
they claim they are doing all they
can under the circumstances.
