PAY BILLS CHEERFULLY.

Pay your bills cheerfully. An exchange
prints an interview with a business man,
which contains some excellent suggestions,
and if they were universally followed, would do
away with one of the most unpleasant features
of a credit business He said
"When I started in business made it a
cardinal rule to pay bills cheerfully, and though
[ am now gray headed I have never seen the
time | regretted it. And why shouldn't [ be
pleasant when bill is presented? [ am the
party who has been accommodated not the
man who presents the bill, yet there good
many men [ sorry to notice, who always
act grouchy when bill is presented.
"As a matter of policy it is best to assume a
cheerful air when the bill collector comes
around Collecting is not pleasant task as
know from experience, and a collector has
enough to contend with at best. If [ can send
him out of my place feeling that he is just as
welcome as if he had come to pay me money, I
have made him more comforta bic and | know
that I am. Sometimes the bills come in Just
when | am short of money, but if pay at all
pay it like a lord if it takes the last dollar
have. 1t dosent make the bill smaller to pay

lit grudgingly but it makes me look smaller in
other peoples eyes.
Il have in mind business man whom
others have said was an unpleasant man to col
lect bill from but he always paid my bill with
smile and think great deal more of him
for it and it increases his credit with me. No
SIR if am feeling ugly and out of sorts the
bill collector never knows it. If the bill is all
right put on my best smile, tell the collector
he's entirely welcome and tell him to come
again, and I'll bet he goes out thinking, and be-
fore the day is over he tells some one else that
am good man to do business with The
man who is all smiles and graciousness when
he buys goods of you, and surely when you
collect bill is making big business mistake,
and driving away trade"

Attorney General Young has been arrested
for contempt of court and fined 500, for his

The ST. Paul Dispatch has been delving
into the book of Proverbs, and has found that
in Solo1nons time there must have been some
tin,id person who objected to the enforcement

IS 1T A BLESSING OR CALAMITY?

The fairly good crop of small grains that
was raised in Stevens county this year, and the
excellent prices which all have brought may in
the end be a great calamity for this county. 1t
it results in farmers again turning their
attention to raising wheat, the development of
the county will be set back for ten years. Di-
versifed crops and live stock the money
makers year in and year out, and the start in
the right direction which is being made in this
county now should not be dropped to go back
to wheat farming.
In discussing this question, the Mimi
eapolis Journal also sounds warning, High
prices for small grain crops this year." says the
Journal, twill doubtless stimulate the farmers
of the northwest to put in larger acreage next
season. The northwest is in no danger of
losing it's prestige as the nations bread basket,
but small grain may be overdone to the exclu
sion of other farm products that bring surer
return. In the Red River Valley the dairy in
dustry has been making splendid strides in the
last three or four years, and it would be I'M
fortunate if wheat at dollar plus should give
the farmers all craze and check the develop
ment of dairying.
"Southern Minnesota is now in the front
rank of butter producing sections of the coun-
try, both as to quality. The dairy output is
greater than the return from any CROP and
is the very foundation of the prosperity of a
large majority of the farmers Northern Mimi
esota is lust as favorable for the extension of
high class creameres as the southern districts
of the state, and the enterprises already started
in that section have been highly successful
Already the dairymen of the Red River Valley
have formed an association which will hold
netting next month
"Dairy farming in connection with cream
cries is not an engrossing occupation. The
central creamery takes the whole milk, sep
arates the cream churns it, ships and markets
the butter, getting the highest market price
and giving the farmer the benefit Instead of
exhausting the soil, dairy farming enriches it
year by year, and the pasture and feed required
for the stock fit in with the most approved
schemes of crop rotation. Land gets better in
stead of poorer, and farms exhausted by de-
votion to single crop may be rehabilitated.
There is also the advantage of an income every
month in the year, with price for the product
that is steady and always enhancing 1t is no
wonder that dairy farming grows more popular,
even in the wheat belt, and every extension of
the creamery system to new district adds to
the prosperity of Minnesota"

An express messenger on one Of the
west-bound trains yesterday afternoon
announced that, beginning the first of
June, as an experiment, express mes
sengers now running between Denver
and Cheyenne will be run on through
to Green River, and he expected to see
an order issued to the baggagemen on
the same trains. He said he did not
know any other reason for it than to
test the possibility of so running when
the new cutoff is built around Athol
hill. ut is the common belief" he
said, that when that line is completed
trains will be run through from Den
g to Laramie and hat express mes
sengers and baggage agents on Ger.

to Omaha. Train No. 5, l am almost
certain, will be made up at Laramie"

the afhdavits sworn to by himself and
Judge Dunno denying the allegations
made in the %afidavits filed Saturday by
the defense in support of the motion
for the substitution of a trial judge.
Some of the Charges.
The afidayits of defense allege
among other things that Rudolph

him in the financial guarantees for the
prosecution are in reality carrying on
a conspiracy to dethrone the present
municipal administration in order to
get franchises for themselves worth
millions of dollars.
Heney Used Emphasis.
Heney denied with the greatest I'm
phasis that he or his associates have
any Interior motives or any purpose
beyond the publication of the munic-
ipality. At the conclusion of the read
ing of the a%fidavits, Judge Dunno de-
MED the motion Tor a change of trial

The jurors summoned by the sheriff
will be used in this case and the

negro braced himself against the side
of the door and refused to move. He
finally broke away and ran across the
