Business men and readers of the
dialy evening Press have undoubtedly
noticed that the firms whG are after
business, advertise in these columns.
This is because they get results and
know that our business is conducted
on business principles. The bust
ness men have found ont that no COM
petitor gets an ''inside rate" on adj
vertising; that we have no space to
sell on the ''cut rate'' plan to one
customer and then charge it up to an
''Easy Mark" and none TO give away
for the sake of saving typesetting.
Our patrons realize that we play no
favoriGes, have but one price for ad-
vertising, give every one a square
deal and that the Press leads all
competitors. On these principles it
is a success and all enterprising bust
ness men are after chunk.

formation as to pending cabinet
retirement, gives some interesting
information as to the real reason for
the prospective changes. IL is as
serted that not one of the cabinet has
endorsed the Presidents selection of
Secretary Taft as his successor and
that Secretary Root and Secretary
Cortelyou had been led to believe
that they would be the favored ones
and feel that their relations with
the Executive have undergone a vital
change. AS the Press should be
good republican authority for the
feeling in Administration circles, this
acknowledgment Of friction in the
presidents official family is a polit-
zeal fact of great Importance and can
not but have a momentous effect on
the presidential campaign. 1t may
result in an open branch in the re
publican party, or in any event will
lead on lukewarm support of who
ever is nominated by the dissatisfied
factions This factional fight for su-
premacy In the republican party is
vastly to the advantage of the demo-

While William H. Seward was Secre-
tary Of State in Lincoln's cabinet some
of his South American admirers sent
him a Panama hat which cost $1,000.
1t was exhibited in a New York show
window for year or more.
Panama hats used to be frequently
sold as high as $500 apiece, one New
York merchant selling three hats at
that price in single day in the sum-
mer of 1867, but they are no longer
on the market.
Panama hats are not made in Pan

The finest hats come from Payta and

or old IceIandic Books.

The University of North Dakota has
added to its Scandinavian library an
almost priceless collection of ancient
Icelandic literature. The books are
written in good red blood, and, though
over 800 years old, the letters still are
clear and plain. They are not written
In human blood but In OK blood, which
was the only ink in the early times in
Iceland. The books are bound In rough
strips OF beechwood, REINFORCED with
brass and copper clasps.
The paper is faded and brown, but
the curious old Morse letters, carefully
penned with good gray goose quill,
are still clear and distinct, although
the bright crimson of the blood is some
what dimmed. These volumes are on
religious subjects and consist of
psalms, Bible verses and spiritual
teachings.
These curious old Icelandic books
are part OF collection of over 1,S00
volumes OF Icelandic, Danish, Norwe-
CLAN and Swedish literature, in large
part donated by the Scandlnavians of
the State, although some of them were
purchased In Norway and Sweden with
money voted by the trustees OF the uni
versity.

another collection Of books on this con-
tinent-St Paul Pioneer Press.

A GLIMPSE OF SHERMAN.
.~@N~N~~

~~~~~N~~~~~O~~~~O~~~
1t is not always the great things
men do that keep their memory alive
Frequently it is some small act OF
kindness, some pleasant speech OF
manly courtesy, which remains in the
minds of those who knew them. So in
Illinois there Is young man who
thinks of General Sherman not as "Old
| Tecumseh," the soldier, victor in siren
uOus campaigns, but as kindly,
rough-bearded old gentleman, who car
ried him over miles of road on his lap
In order that at the end he might real
ly see his boyish hero, the soldier.
1t was In the early eighties. The
county in which the boy lived was to
dedicate soldiers monument on Me-
mortal day. General Sherman and
Governor Oglesby were to be the two
speakers OF the occasion.
From where the boy lived 1t was six
miles to the county seat. He had to
walk the distance. But worst of all
misrortunes, 1t rained all the day be-
fore, when he should have been work
Ing in the garden, and so on Memorial
day the boy had to get down on hands
and knees and pull weeds under
broillng sun, across row after row of
young vegetables, so that he did not
get away from home until | o'clock.
Only an hour, and six miles to go
He knew 1t was useless. 1t would
take him two hours, and when he got
there he would find everything over
and the general gone-and there was
no use in anything, anyway. Tears
rolled down his cheeks now and then,
and he felt like much abused boy.
Every little while buggy or car
rage passed him going in his direc-
tion, but all Of them were full, and
there was no one to give him lift.
But at last, when he was certain that
he could never get there, buggy
which came up from behind did not
pass, but stopped beside him.
Hello, bub!" said kindly voice,
"GOing far?"
The boy looked up through misty
eyes. Two gray and qulzzlcal old faces
peered at him out OF a muddy buggy.
Two pleasant old gentlemen We're on
the seat.
"Y-y-yes, sir-I'm trying to-" said |
the boy.
"Climb In, then" said the man near
est him, and as the boy, not believing |
his ears, put a foot on the step, the
man reached out and lifted him in, and
yeated him on his lap.

tidy-haired little girls were looking out
of the factory gate.

Father turned back, his great
hands thrust deep into his pockets, and
made haste TO get home out of the dis

AT the end of the noon hour two

them of a cookshop where might be

made into joint stock, and had run a
nile and a half to get the pudding.
No such shop was to be found. and the
children had returned, hungry, disap-
pointed and late.
