Dawson Sentinel: Papers using
so-called patent insides are in a tur-
MOL these days, it having come to
light in some way that the manu-
facturers of the said patents have
used them to further the ambitions
of Minneapolis millionaire lumber
man for governor. What puzzles
the average man is how any one
ever discovered anything in the
patent insides. The editors them
selves do not read them. certainly
1 the readers do not. We do not
think any millionaire lumberman
easy enough to put his light under a
bushel in that way. His press
agent must have started the yarn to
get him talked about on home print

Remember about your seed corn,
says the Waseca Herald. Remem-
her what a poor stand you have OF
corn this year. Make no mistake
this time. The prospects are that
corn will not have any too much
time to get ripe this fall. If farm
ers will make special business OF
it, they can get the very best seed
by going into. the field just as soon
as the ears begin to dent, picking
the earliest and best ears, spreading
them out OIL some floor or roof and
drying them. Then they will have
! the very best seed, even if it does
look shrunken. It will not take
much time, not more than one day
to a farmer to do this, and it will be
much better than paying big prices
for seed next spring and then get
ting poor seed, perhaps.

Her Voice Twice Vanished.

Altoona, Pa-iWithin the past six
years, Miss Susie Kaufman, who was
In normal health, has suddenly lost her
voice, being unable to speak above a
whisper. For two years all her verbal
communication with her family and
friends was in whisper,
Just as suddenly one day her voice
returned, and she was overjoyed. She
could articulate as we'll as ever, and
no change could be noticed.
She continued to enjoy the possess
sion Of her vocal chords for two years,
and again her voice was lost.
Miss Kaufman despaired of ever
recovering it again, and as time went
on she became convinced that she was
doomed to whisper all her life. With
out any premonition whatever the
voice came back again yesterday, and
once more she has full power over her
vocal organs.

On the Rack.

The expression putting a witness
on the rack" has an ancient origin.
The courts had an unpleasant way of
putting refractory or unsatisfactory
witness on the rack. which was an
open wooden frame. upon which was
laid the victim. His wrists and ankles
were tied to two rollers at opposite
ends OF the frame. The rollers were
then moved with levers until the ten
sion caused the body to rise level with
the frame, and then questions were
addressed TO the witness. If he still
proved silent or If his memory needed
refreshing, the rollers were moved
slowly until the wretch's bones started
from the sockets
