SPICER-ON- GREEN-LAKE, July
9.-Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Peterson
returned to Willmar Monday after
a few days stay at the home of
Theodore johnson.
Miss Bergitta Thorvig is enter
tanning a cousin, Miss Bertha Lar
son, and a friend, Miss Olivia Jor-
genson, of Minneapolis.
The Spicer school board are to be
congratulated on securing as prin-
cipal of their school for the coming
year Mr.. James R. Himrod, who is
we'll known here as the manager of
the Spicer Chautauqua Assembly.
Mr.. Himrod and family desire a
change from the strenuous life Of
continual travel and have decided
that our little village is the ideal
place to get the desired change.
There was no large celebration
the Fourth in this vicinity, but
the people gathered at the church
picnics or little private outings.
The Green Lake congregation held
a successful and we'll attended pic
mic near the church. In the fore
noon Rev. Carl Hotter of Minnea-
polls addressed the congregation at
the church, after which all partook
of picnic dinner In the after
noon Prof. G. Mellon delighted the
audience with an interesting and
instructive speech, delivered in his
usual effective way. A successful
auction sale was afterwards held
on articles prepared by the Ladies
society during the year. Refresh
ments were sold at the stand for
over SAT.
In spite of the threatening
weather of the morning, the Swed-
ish Lutheran Saron church picnic at
Spicer-on-G Green Lake was a success.
Tho the program could not be car
ried out in the forenoon as was
planned, the afternoon was better,
as more people had gathered at that
time. A sumptuous dinner as
served, at which over SIT was rea-
lized. The program commenced at
three o'clock. Besides songs and
recitations, the audience was ia
vored with couple of selections or
the cornet by Elmer Eckman OF
New London, the reading Of the
declaration of independence ir
Swedish by Victor E. Lawson OF
Willmar, and a couple of speeches
The first was by Student j. B. Sor
enson, who gave a we'll prepared
|speech in the Swedish language OF
the subject "True Liberty" Thu
second was by James R. Himrod
who spoke very eloquently on thu
subject True Patriotism. Sup
per was also served by the ladies
realizing $l8. The proceeds from
the refreshment counters under tn
auspices of the Y. P. S. of tn
church amounted to $780,. Som
| fireworks and tableauxs were quit
we'll carried out for the amusemen
Of the children by Uncle Silas, tn
the strong wind was detrimental.
1t is fact that no Fourth o
July has been celebrated here S
quietly, without any disturbanc
at all from DRINKS and other row
dies, thanks to our able sheriff.

A GOOD PIPE.

shape Has More to Do with Insurins
Success Than Has Material.
Pipes are smoked by millions, and
always will be, yet not one smoker In
thousand knows the elements of a
good pipe. Engineers have been known
to talk by the hour over the draft OF
their fire boxes and never once in half
lifetime think of the draft In their
pipes which they smoke hourly.
Sage attention is paid to the pipe
material, all of which has little If any
thing to do with the qualities of pipe.
and generally nothing whatever Is
thought of shape and proportions, the
two things that make pipe good or
bad. A two-cent postage stamp spent
with intelligence will buy as good a
pipe as there Is in the world; every
thing added to that price Is ornament,
vanity and especially ignorance.
The corncob holds high place
among pipe smokers and deserves this
Observation-Disclosures the best of scien-
tific reasons. When a pipe Is built on
right principles the bowl is as narrow
and deep as is convenient to fill; the
hole In the stem meets the bowl at the
very bottom and in the center, thus in
suring perfect and even burning Of

SO many school children have been
found with defective eyesight that the
school committees of several cities have
considered furnishing eyeglasses free.
1t is a question how far government
should go in supplying citizens with the
necessary things Of life. Most Ameri-
can parents will prefer to pay the ocu-
list In many cities are free dlspen-
sarles where poor children can be treat

glasses. Parents should be warned

BERLIN'S POSTAL SERVICE.
Connect the Central Office With the
Principal Stations.

Connect the Central Office With the
Principal Stations.
The Berlin postal authorities are
revolutionizing the conveyance of let
ters and parcels
The Idea on which they are expert
menting Is to have an underground
tube with large enough circumfer-
ence to admit man in a STOPPING DO
sition. These tubes are to connect the
central postoffice with the principal
stations and with the district offices.
Two sets Of rails are built in this
tube or tunnel, one over the other, not
side by side. The upper set of rails Is
supported on the sides of the tube,
thus practically dividing it in two.
Small carriages, running on two wheels,
are automatically driven by electricity
along these rails.
No locomotive Is used nor Is there
any attendant with the carriage. As
many as six Of these carriages can be
run together for conveying letters and
parcels from the arrival station to the
central postofflce and thence to the va
rious districts, or vice versa.
BY this means letters can be deliy-
cred in any part Of the city in less
than fourth Of the time formerly re-
quired. So far the scheme Is not be-
yond the experimental stages, but IT
promises to be success and to ban,sb
from the streets the mail van, with all
its poetry and romance.

In many educational institutions Of
the country the students seem to be
allowed too much leeway in attempting
to dictate to the faculty how the in
stltution shall be conducted. This
probably originated in the institutions
where the support Of the parents of the
pupils, as somewhat and in some in
stances Influenced by the pupils them
selves, was depended upon for their
very existence. 1t is conceivable that
In such cases timid faculty may have
been weak enough to allow students to
dictate what should and what should
not be. But such an attitude is not
compatible with dignity, even when
adopted as a matter Of self-preserva-
ton.

COUGHING IN CHURCH.
1t Is an Opinion of the Sermon Oh
Sign of Wandering Interest.

1t Is an Opinion of the Sermon Oh
Sign of Wandering Interest.
The epidemic of coughing that at
tacks a congregation at times Is re-
garded as of sufficient Importance by
writer in the British Medical Journal
to merit discussion in column article.
He Is of opinion that the cause is
nervous irritability, but will not accept
the theory of an American physician
that 1t is due to prolonged attention,
holding that lack of attentiveness must
rather be held responsible. He goes on
with his investigation thus:
Persons who will SIT out play or
listening to an interesting conversation
without coughing seem to be seized, as
soon as they compose themselves to
hear sermon, with distressing irrlta-
ton Of the windpipe that can be re-
lieved only by violent and continued
coughing. The affection is contagious,
spreading from seat to seat, cough an
swerlng to cough, till the church Is as
full Of noise as Prospero's island. As
strange disease has not received atten-
ton from the scientific investigator.
Is 1t due to sudden changes Of tempera-
ture in the sacred edifce, or to the
sudden inroads Of maIign drafts? 1t
may be granted that the eloquence Of
some preachers has a chilling effect,
while that Of others Is of windy char
acter; neither of these things, how
ever, can be accepted as a vera causa.
We note with interest that the problem
has been attacked from another side
by an American scientist who has
studied the epidemic ne II occurs IN
theaters. He has satisfied himself that
there, at least, the coughing which
sometimes goes far to spoil the per-
formance Is due to reflex irritation
propagated from the ear to the larynx.
The source of the irritation, accord
Ing to him, is to be found in the strain
on the auditory apparatus induced by
the effort to hear what is said on the
stage. This suggests that actors of the
present day do not know how to use
their voices. 1t would be a comfort to
preachers If the church cough could
also be explained by overstrenuous list
ening. We fear, however, that a solu-
ton of the riddle Is rather to be found

not listening, the malady of not mark
Ing 1t Is related that once upon a
time when an author was reading a

Coincide Franchise, an actress fell
asleep. When the company were ex-
pressing their various opinions. the au-
thor maliciously insited on having that

that the attention she had given to II
would make her opinion especially val
liable. The reply was disconcertingly
to the point: Monsieur, lie sommell
est une opinion ('Sir, sleep is an opin-

that coughing is an opinion. At a full
dress rehearsal Of new play by Sar-
dou, the audience, which had applaud
ed the first act, began to cough In the
middle Of the second. The author at
once exclaimed They cough: I al
