POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

So many people consider a wish an
ambition.
One way to make something out of
nothing Is to start fight about 1t.
To every man comes a time when
he wishes he were as smart as he used
to believe he was.
AS rule, It is easier to help man
and make him a friend than it is to
injure him and make him an enemy.
Every young man could wear hero
medal If the commission would take
his best girls estimate Of his strength
and courage.
If you don't laugh at mans joke,
he says you have no sense of humor.
It never occurs to him that he lacks
the sense Of humor.
The loafer will always tell you there
'isn't much opportunity. for man in
this town." Still there are twenty-fouf

A certain judge who once presided
over criminal court was famous as
one of the most compassionate men
who ever sat on the bench. His
softness of heart, however, did not
prevent him from doing his duty as
judge in that court.
A man who had been convicted of
stealing small amount was brought
into the court for sentence. He looked
very sad and hopeless, and the court
was much moved by his contrlte ap-
pearance.
"Have you ever been sentenced to
imprisonment" the judge asked.
"Never!" Never" exclaimed the
prisoner, bursting into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry said the
judge consolingly. ''You're going to
be now"

Official Paper of New Ulm.

That man is not without honor
save in his own country is suggested
by the fact that while there has been
considerable talk of Governor John
sons availability for the democratic
nomination, not many Minnesotans
outside of his official family have as
yet taken the matter seriously. Not so
IN the south or east. In these sections
the governors Vicksburg trip has
placed him we'll to the front among
the democratic possibilities. AS every
one in the northwest knows, John A.
Johnson never loses friends by show
ing himself in public. AS soon as the
south saw him it took to him, and the
south was glad to do SO. Ithas real
1y wanted some way to escape from
Bryan, whose government ownership
OF railroads, with it's threatened aboli-
6ien of color distinctions in transpor-
talon facilities, had alarmed the south.
The missionary work, too, of two OF
Governor Johnson's lieutenants on a
wide detour through the south, wind
ing up at Washington, planted the
seeds of the Johnson boom in inpor-
tant southern centers and in leading
southern newspapers, and when these
gsntlemen had arrived at Washington
sufficient interest had been aroused to
make them sought after by the Wash
ington correspondents of the leading
eastern newspapers, which have dis
covered that Mr.. Johnson has points
of availability that place him among
the possibilities for the democratic
nomination and abreast of, if not in
front of, the gentleman from Nebras-
ka. What the democracy wants is
wote-getter, and the democracy hasn't
sanythingS"in that line to compare with
Minnesota's democratic governor.
The hope is that his nomination may
place such a strong republic an state
as Minnesota in the doubtful column.
And it probably would.-Minneapolis

INSANITY WILL ATTACK NATION
Expert Calls Attention to Alarming
Trend towards Race
Deterioration.

Insanity has increased 300 per cent
in the last fifty years, and unless the
inhabitants of the world are careful
they will all be insane 300 years from
now. This startling statement is the
opinion of DR.. J. 81. Kellogg of Battle
Creek. Mich, a delegate to the natio-
nal conference OF Charities and Cor
rection in Minneapolis and member
of the committee of 100 appointed by
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science to promote a
plan for national bureau of health
andhygiene.
DR.. Kellogg talks calmly and ratio
nally upon the subject and says that if
the present ravages of chronic diseases
continue until 1910 there will then be
five times as many cases of Bright's
disease, six times as many cancer
patients, fifteen times as many cases OF
diabetes and other diseases in like
proportion. Statistics of sanitariums
show this startling increase and about
the only ray of light shown is in the
decrease in tuberculosis. Strenuous
measures against that disease are tel
ling and should be applied to all other
diseases.
'The increase of insanity is the
most ominous of all signs of race de-
terioration, says DR.. Kellogg. "From
statistics furnished by the secretary of
the Illinois state board of charities,
there are in that state $4,000 cases of
insane persons, besides 100000 or 50,-
900 feeble-minded, 10000 epileptics
and 10000 idiots and im5eciles, or
1000 detectives to each million of in
habitants.
"It is apparent that it is high time
for the nation, state and municipality
to give effective attention to the ques-
tion of race deterioration. Six million
American citizens are certain to die of
heart disease, chiefly as result of
their addiction to the liquor and to-
bacco habits.
Notwithstanding this frightful
waste of human life, the United States
government expends S7,000,000 a year
in the study of weeds and bugs and not
dollar on the lives of babies, of
which an enormous proportion die
every year from causes which could
be removed by the proper education
of the mothers. While spending
an average of s4,0OO,000 a year for the
study of the Diseases of animals, such
as hog cholera, this government of
ours spends not penny IN the study
or prevention of pneumonia, at pre-
sent the most fatal of all human mala-
dies.
"These facts have aroused many in
telligent laymen as well as physicians
to the need of national bureau which
shall give attention to the careful
study Of both acute and chronic disea-
ses and the best method Of prevention,
and to carry on an extensive propa-
ganda of education. President Roose-
velt has frequently conferred at length
with those behind this movement and
has expressed himself as being in
hearty sympathy with any movement
that may serve to improve the health
of the individual and the nation as
the best method of increasing indi-
vidual and national efficiency

A BUNCH OF GOOD YARNS.

An Irishman, passing along the
street one day, was hit on the head by
a brick which had dropped from new
building. Thinking he had cause for
complaint and damages, he consulted

The case came before the proper au-
thorities, and the man was awarded
$50 damages. Wishing to settle with
the lawyer who had conducted the case,
he asked for the bill.
"Well, I think $50 will be about

POLAR DAYS AND NIGHTS.
Day, Which Is Summer, Is Not So
Bad, but the Niuht Is Awful,

Bad, but the Night Is Awful.
During a polar winter the average
thickness of ice on the ocean where
no storms or strong tides interfere
reaches six feet or more. There is
really no warm season. Even during
the long summer days snow still falls
frequently. Clear spells are relatively
warm, but, especially in the antarctic,
fogs and clouds are frequent while
winds bring low temperatures.
Nevertheless the summer near the
margins Of the arctic zone is described
in the Journal Of Geography as having
clean, pure, crisp air, free from dust
and with little precipitation.
The monotony and darkness of the
polar night is decreased a good deal
by the long twilight due to the high
degree Of refraction at low tempera-
lures. The sun actually appears and
disappears some days before and after
the times which are geometrically set
for the change.
Light from moon and stars and from
the aurora also relieve the darkness.
Optical phenomena Of great variety
beauty and complexity are common.
Solar and lunar haloes and coronae
and mock suns and moons are often
seen. Auroras seem to be less COM
mon and less brilliant in the antarctic
than In the arctic. Sunset and sunrise
colors within the polar zones are de-
scribed as being extraordinarily brill
liant and impressive.
Thus the north polar summer, in spite
Of it's drawbacks, is in some respects a
pleasant and healthful season. But the
polar night is monotonous, depressing,
repelling, an everlastingly uniform
snow covering, rigidity, lifelessness, 81
lence, except for the howl Of the gale
or the cracking Of the ice.
Small wonder that the polar night
has sometimes unbalanced mems
minds. The first effects are often a
strong desire for sleep and indiffer-
ence. Later effects have been sleep
lessness and nervousness, tending in
extreme cases to insanity, anaemia,
digestive troubles.
Extraordinarily low winter tempera-
lures are easily borne if the air is dry
and still. Nansen notes mot very
cold" at a temperature Of % degrees
when the air was still. Another arctic
explorer at 8 degrees says, "It is too
warm to skate"
| Zero weather seems pleasantly re.
freshing if clear and calm. But high
relative humidity and wind, even a
light breeze, give the same degree OF
cold penetrating feeling of chill
which may be unbearable. Thus the
edamper air of spring and summer usu
ally seems much colder than the driel
air Of winter, although the tempera
lures may be the same. When exposed
directly to the air, the skin burns an6
blisters, the lips swell and crack
Thirst has been much complained Of
by polar explorers and is surely due tt
| the active evaporation from the warn
body into the dry, relatively cold air.
There is no doubt that polar air il

John L. Sullivan, the grandest fighter

Jake Kilrain will accompany Sullivan,
and it is this pair who will box and show
the local fight fans how they used to do
years ago, when John L. was the real
champion of them all.
Sullivan has been touring the east for
some time on his present engagement, and
judging from press reports he is still the
one popular idol of the American fighting
public. One OF the few men, against
whom the least breath of suspicion has
never been raised. it is but natural that
he keeps his hold on the public.
Sullivan gives a monoiogue stunt along
with his boxing, telling of some of the
interesting incidents of his long career in
the ring He never overlooks an oppOr-

Grand functions baseball team tried
hard yesterday to down Father Dubei's
Colts but had to give It up as a hard
job. They travelled all the way TO Salt
Lake to get licked and the locals gave
them a good demonstration of how the
national game should be played. The
final score was 6 70 /.
The locals played a patched up team
yesterday and were not at their best. Gum
was missed from third and Northrop tried
to hold down the bag with a bad leg.
Mann of Bountiful played Margett's place
at first, while Bert went to second, and
Sponberg had TO fill in in the Outfield.
Grand Junction was strong in the box
with Sanduskey. In fact he is the only
strong place on the team. He succeeded
in tanning ten of the Colts in the nine in
nings. Nine hits were made off his de-
livery, but these would not have been
very costly if il had not been for the err
rCTS behind the team.
