about women is usually willing to

Every man ought to marry woman
who is a good manager, because few

WHY HE DID NOT LAUGH.
Hurorist's Sense of Modesty Kept
Him Silent.

A certain well-known humorist re-
Gently attended a banquet at which he
was seated beside a man who seemed
to have almost a mania for StOry-tell-
ing. He began with the oysters and
had at least one story for each course
clear down to the Roquefort. The hui
morist listened in patience, but did not
smile or make any comment. Finally
the stOry-teller noticed the fact that
he was not eliciting any expressions of
mirth, and, being one who was not at
all afflicted with difidence, he asked:
Say, old man, what's the matter with
my stories, anyhow? You haven't
cracked a smile over any of them" "
"1f I haven seemed to appreciate
your stories you will have to blame
my modesty." Your modesty? There's s
nothing about any Of the stories I've
told that ought to interfere with any
body's modesty. At least I supposed
they were clean. If there's a double
meaning in any of them, for heavens
sake tell me. told nearly everyone
of them to a lot of women the other
night" "There's nothing at all the
matter with them. They're good, clean
stories Nevertheless, my modesty
forbids me to Taught at them. I wrote
them"

The Minnesota laws for 1907 pro-
vide for a more rigid enforcement of
reports of births and deaths. At
tention is called to the new regula-
tions in a circular letter sent out by
the state board OF health. From
this time on there must be no burial
of any dead human body in Mime
sofa without a burial permit. This
includes still births. The health
officers in villages and cities and the
town clerks in townships are the re-
gistrars in their districts and are
authorized to sign burial permits.
A burial permit must not be signed
until the death certificate is proper
ly made out and presented to the re-
gistrar or his representative. The
new law relating to births is also
we'll defined. Physicians, midwives or
others must report births to the re-
gistrar of the district wherein the
birth occurred. Blanks for report
ing deaths are furnished free of
charge to registrars, deputy re-
gistrars, sub-registrars, physicians
and midwives upon request

coNVlcTS ELUDE POSSE.
Two Men Who Escaped from Joliet
Still at Large.

chicago, Aug. 3o.-A posse of 100
men, led by Deputy Warden Henry
Sims, is in close pursuit of Harry
Harmon and Eddie" Quinn, convicts
who escaped from the Joliet peniten.
tiary. The men were believed to be
trapped in box car at Brander's
Bridge, near Joliet, but they eluded
their pursuers.
e. The convicts cleft the car just as the
carriages conveying the posse ap-
peared in sight. A through fast
freight train on the Santa Fe was
passing at the time, and the fugitives,
r1sk1ng their lives, boarded the train.
The escape of the men was one of
the most sensational prison flights in
years. BY means of rope made from
strips OF a sheet and an improvised
hook they scaled the high pen1tentiary
wall, eluding the armed guards and
sentries, and gained their liberty be-
fore the alarm was given and posses
started the search for them.

RICHARD MANSFIELD DEAD
FOREMOST ACTOR OF AMERICA
HAS PASSED AWAY.
After Years illness, the End Comes
at His Summer Home in
New London.

New London, Conn.,, Aug. 31.-Rich.
ard Mansfield, the best known actor
on the American stage, passed away
at six a. m. Friday at his summer
residence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue.
Death was directly due to disease of
the liver, aggravated by complica-
tions. DR.. A. H. Allen, local physi-
clan, who has been in charge since
Mr.. Mansfeld's arrival here from Sar-
anac Lake, N. Y, states that death
was not entirely unexpected, although
this fact had not been made public
Mr.. Mansfelds condition had been
reported as excellent.
1t was stated thtat he stood the jour-
ney we'll from Saranac Lake and that
he was up and around his home here
until three days ago. Then a turn for
the worse set in and Mr. Mansfield
was confined to his room. Thursday
DR.. Mcclellan, of Pittsburg, was sum-
moned. DR.. Allen said Friday that
he had feared the worst for several
days.
There were several conditions that
prevented his getting we'll Dur.
ing the great actors last moments he
lay in condition of coma and did not
recognize the loved ones at his bed
side.
There were present at the time of
his death his wife, his brother Felix,
his young son, George Gibbs, and the
physicians and nurses.
The intense nervous strain under
which Richard Mansfield worked
caused complete breakdown last
spring when he was playing an en-
gagement in Scranton, Pa, though he
had been in poor health for some time
He recovered sufficiently to enable
him to make a voyage to England. The
English climate failed to benefit the
actor and several weeks ago he re-
turned to this country and went tc
Ampersand, in the Adirondacks. Mr.
Mansfield longed to be at his summer
home in New London, Conn.,, and sev
eral days ago he was taken there in
his private car.

To Save Marble Buildings.

1t has been estimated that the com.
bustion of coal in London discharges
at least half million tons of sulphur
ic acid into the air each year, and the
effect upon certain building stones is
disastrous. The acid washed down
by rains attacks the lime Of marbles,
limestones and calcareous sandstones,
forming gypsum and causing the sur
face to swell and crumble. A treat
ment for the decaying stonework is
the application of solution of baryta,
which forms an insoluble sulphate
with the gypsum and liberates lime,
which the carbnoic acid of the all
converts into the original binding
cement Of the stone. Referring to an
experience at the Chapter house at
Westminster, Prof. A. H. Church says
that carving so soft as to be brought
away by the finger was made sound
and harder than the newly Quarried
stone

HINCKLEY FIRE
ANNIVERSARY

The citizens of Hinkley and sur
rounding county gathered Sunday
for the thirteenth time to honor the
memory of the 4l8 victims of the
great forest fire that swept over
thousands of acres of land in Pine

fearful day the people of Hinckley
have gathered annually on Sept. l

remains of the 248 unidentified

Takes His Brides Surname.

DR.. Annie R. Copelan was married
to Abraham Erott Copelan, formerly
Abraham Erott, in the parsonage of
Rev. DR.. H. w. Schneeberger the
other day after peculiar romance,
says the Baltimore Sun. Instead of
the bride changing her name, it was
vice versa, the man changing his
name. DR.. Copelan was graduated
from the Maryland university four
years ago, and in the meantime has
built up a practice in her neighbor-
hood. Not wishing to lose any of her
practice by changing her name when
she married Mr.. Erott, who is a stu
dent in the dental department of the
Maryland university, they decided
that the best thing to do was to have
the court change his last name to
COpelan.

CHIMPANZEE HAD MUCH FUN.
Escaped from French Circus for Erief
Spell Of Liberty.

large chimpanZee performing at
a fair in Montmartre, France, escaped
recently, and created panic in the
district. The animal gives his per-
formance under the direction of La
Goulue, the Moulin Rouge dancer who
took to lion tanning and went through
her marriage ceremony in lions

while his keepers attention was mo-
mentarily attracted elsewhere, and
made straight for the Metropolitan
railway station at the Boulevard
Barbes. Entering the booking Office
he nearly frightened the woman book
bundles Of tickets, and amused him
self by flinging them into the air and
watching their descent in a shower.
When he had thus made an end of
several hundreds of packages he ran
into the station, creating panic
among the waiting passengers. They
fled across the lire and down the
stairs into the street, and two police
men and six porters were summoned
to try and capture Zizi. AS soon as
Zizi saw them coming he bolted down
the line, and was so anxious to es-
cape his pursuers that he did not no.
tice an approaching train. The driv-
er pulled up in time to avoid killing
the animal, and Zizi capered off on
another line, and stopped a second
train in the same way. After much
chasing and lodging Zizi was even
tually caught in a sack, put into a
strait waistcoat, and taken to the
police station, where La Goulue ap-
peared and bailed him out early the
next morning

The time has long since passed
when liquor was source of revenue
to any town, any more than to any
individual. Nobody ever made
money drinking whisky. Whisky
means more policemen and more jail

merely taking money out of one
pocket and putting it into another

from saloons and invest it in police.

TILE DRAINAGE
AT STATE FA RM.

John L. Stewart, the government
engineer in charge Of the work of
tile drainage which is being carried
on at the state experiment farm this
year, talked very Interestingly re-
garding the work of drainage. He
says that three miles and half of
tile has been laid already and great
many acres Are covered. The tile
is being laid in different fields, oc-
cationally a field being missed for
experimenting purposes. This will
give Prot. Robertson a chance to see
just exactly what difference the tile
drainage makes in two fields lying
side by side. one drained and the
other not.
Farmers all over the northwest
will watch this work and it's results
with interest. Although not the
first tile drainage done in the valley,
there are only one or two fields
drained in the other experiments
and although they have proved COM
paratively successful the work has
been done in such small amount
that it is impossible to judge results.
This work on the other hand will be
thorough and extensive, accurate
and systematic. Data will be secured
regarding results and the work will
be of inestimable value in showing
the exact value of tile drainage in
northern Minnesota.
