Variations of the Tea.

without excepting even the luncheon for
a few congenials the tea holds first place
IN the favor OF those who would entertain
or be entertained nowadays. II seems like
a broad statement but a glance over the
society chronicles win confirm Il. tea,
however, does not necessarily mean a re-
ception or anything approaching 1t In
elaborateness, still all such functions are
properly classed as teas. for the term is
so comprehensive as to include everything
from the gathering OF few friends for a
chat and cup of tea to the elaborate re-
ception to present an out-of-town guest
a debutante or even a celebrity.
In Its possibilities the teas are unrivaled
particularly the smaller, less formal sf-
fairs at that season when a crate FIRE, a
few lighted candles and a scattering OF
flowers, may supplement the gathering.
There is a cosiness and a charm about a
tea table, with its singing kettle and dainty
appointments, that nothing can rival, and
no woman could ask a better advantage
than TO preside there and dispense Its sim
pie hospitality. Some dainty sandwiches
and cake, with a few CONNECTIONS II desired,
is the only accompaniment necessary to
the tea or eoffee. The guests serve them

Things to Remember

Dig deep and make the soil fine on the
surface. Keep pulling out the weeds all
summer. Sprinkle the seeds every day.
Then water the bed thoroughly every few
days during the whole summer. Pick your
flowers every day. Keep your garden neat.
Flowers require attention all summer. By
attending to these things you will have
flowers all summer. (For vegetables, see

IN GOOD SHAPE
Expert Compliments Saint
Louis County ON Officers.

Business affairs of st. Louis county
are in excellent shape, according to
Colonel @. e. Johnson of the state ex-
aminer's office. Colonel Johnson and
j. 0. Cedarberg have been conducting
an examination of the county IS system
of bookkeeping for the past two weeks.
They will prepare report, which will
be filed with the state examiner. A
report similar to this is made, at in
tervals, of every county in the state.
Colonel Johnson. who is in charge
of the work, is from Mankato, and has
been an expert on books for many
years. His assistant, Mr.. Cedarberg,
is from st. Paul. The work was
started two weeks ago and they expect
to be through this week. Speaking
to reporter of the showing made by
the county officers, Colonel Johnson
said: "The county is to be congratu-
lated on the excellent way in which
their books are kept. The showing is
one of the best in the state, and there
is no criticism that can be made even
IL we desired to make one.
Il cannot pick out any department
and say that one is the BEST" said the
colonel, in reply to request to do so.
1.-The different departments are all in
good shape and the records are singu-
larry free from small errors"

ORE DOCK STRIKE
$50 LabOrers on Missabe
Docks Strike Saturday.

Work on the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern railroad was practically
tsopped Monday Morning when 75C
laborers on the MisSabe docks went on
strike. The men demanded raise of
25 cents day. The pay. so far, has
been 1925 for day work and $3.50 for
the night crews. The laborers want
the prices raised to $3.50 and 1915.
Monday morning, when the day
crew was to have started work, there
were six boats waiting to be loaded.
The boats were at once ordered to
Two HarbOrs, Superior and Ashland.
The tie-up on the docks affected
several of the mines on the MeSaba
range, those who exclusively shipped
over the Messabe.
The strike is directly result of
dissatisfaction on the part of the
laborers regarding the ore trimmers.
There are only II trimmers in the two
crews, and these haye been able TO
make from $25 to $50 month more
than the others, although their work
is practically the same.
The ore tTimmerS do the same work
that the labOrerS do and receive the
same compensation, except when a
barge or freighter with but d few
matches, comes to the dock to be
loaded. The trimmers then even up
the ore in the hold after it has been
dumped from the pockets. For this
work they receive 81 cents per ton.
The II trimmers have had this work
for many years, aud the rest of the
men have felt that it should be passed
around, so that all would have a fair
chance to make a little extra money.
Tuesday night the men on the Two
Harbors docks also went out, and
work on the Duluth & Iron Range has
also been at a standstill since. The
mines here are again dumping on the
StOckpile.

Could Not Agree.

A fifty-fve hours elaboration
brought no decision to the jury upon
whose verdict rested the case of War
rem Macomber against 0. d. Kinney
ct al. in the district court, and they
were discharged by Judge Dibell,
The case was brought by Warren
MacOmber to secure possession of a
tract of valuable land near Armstrong
lake, between here and Tower. The
defendants, o. D. Kinney. M. H. AL.
worth and others, claim possession OF
the ground by virtue of deed said to
have been given by Macomber to
Michael Fink in 1881. The original
deed has been lost, but the records on
file in the office of the county auditor
show a copy.
This copy could not be admitted as
evidence under the ruling of the court
and the point on which the jury was
to decide was whether Macomber had
really signed deed.
There are several other claims
against the land, due to tax titles and
other causes. These points are all to
be decided by the court. The jury has
no part in the case except. TO deter.
mine the validity of the alleged sale.
