Natural Toothbrushes,

Natives of Somaliland have the whit
est and best teeth of any people in the
world, and the reason is not far to
seek. Whenever they are idle they
may be found rubbing their teeth with
smak pieces of wood-little twigs which
are covered with soft bark and which
ravels out into bristles. This practice
prevents the teeth decaying and of
course keeps them in excellent condi-
ton. Just as one might pick a wild
flower in the country so the Somali
native picks his toothbrush They are
never without their small twigs. Tooth
brushes as we know them are I'M
known in Somaliland. Their own
methods are undoubtedly the healthi-
est and certainly the cheapest, and it
is matter for wonder that we do not
take leaf out of their book in this re-
spect.-Dundee Advertiser.

S o Lying, who is employed in remod
cling the building occupied by the Luth-

home to spend Sunday. He reports over
seventy children in the Home at present
and says the changes being made on the
building include the installation of all
modern conveniences.
The people of this community we're
shocked and deeply grieved when they
learned of the sudden death of Mr. W K
Potter, which occurred at his home at
1890 Wednesday morning. The imme-
date cause of his death was pneumonia
and his illness was only of few days
duration, having been confined to his
home only since Monday noon. Deceas-
ed was about "a years of age and has re-
sided in this community all his life.
DR. A G Amundson returned Friday
evening from Minneapolis where he at
tended the annual convention of the
National Norwegian Pioneer Association.
G Melaas of Stoughton was elected
president of the national organization.
At the banquet toasts were given by the

Local branches from nine different states
were represented. An effort will be
made to have the next meeting take
place in Stoughton.

said one day: "Sir, this is not the first

out: 'Well, to be honest, I think you
are a gambler You've we'll nigh
ruined yourself at home and are now
coming to fleece the fools you'll find on
Shore"
The young mans smile broadened.
The next minute he turned grave
again, lowered his voice and replied:

me during this voyage, so I have

clusion that you are a man to be

A Mans Necktie.

Ever since a regiment of Croatian
soldiers marched into Paris three cen
turtles ago with their necks swathed
in silk, and Louis XIV, delighted at
their appearance, decided to adopt the
fashion himself, the cravat in it's vari-
Gus changing forms has played an i'm
portant part in the attire of men. And
so reliable is it supposed to be as an
index to it's wearers personal charac-
teristics that Button, the French sa-
want, was once led to remark, "The era
vat makes the man."

RAILROAD RATES.

Z The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States that a
railroad may be lawfully required
by the Interstate Commerce Com
EMISSION to make adequate connec-
ft;ons with other railroads for the
convenience of the public is most
important. This is especially so be-
cause the court decided that it is
I" the primal duty OF a carrier to
Furnish adequate facilities to the
public" though, "some pecuniary
loss from rendering such service
may result" so long as the general
earnings Of the carrier are not so
impaired as to deprive it of rea-
tsenable profit on account of this
Part;cular requirement.
The logical result of this deci.
sion will be far reaching, for 1t
would seem to entirely cut tho

of the railroads that where two

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.

The Ohio Farmer, the leading
agricultural paper in this section
of the country and the weekly
which is read far and wide, has
determined to take hand in the
present political fight in Ohio and
has allied itself strongly with the
anti-Foraker faction. The editor
demands the retirement Of Senator
Foraker from public life.
In recent years, the farmer has
come TO be considered a great fac
tor in politics, especially In Ohio.
In fact some elections have been
controlled by farmers and in some
instances they have swayed conven-
tions and secured the candidates
whom they desired. Cincinnati and
Hamilton county no longer control
stippedecmfw lite b Nj! fist d
Ohio elections. The farmer has
stopper in and supplanted them.
IRON this time on, The farmers
must be reckoned with on election
day and .he party on faction which
ignores them cannot help feeling
the effect.

Hoard s Dairyman for May 10

AN HISTORICAL PARALLEL

The New York World pretends to
have reliable information that Thos-
Fortune Ryan, of Virginia, is in
the field as candidate for the
Presidency. The grounds upon
which this information is based are
not exposed, but it is incidentally
mentioned that, among other ele-
ments of his strength, is the strong
Catholic following he would un-
doubtedly command. This is very
slender reed and has never before
been pleaded in behalf of any can
didate. except in the memorable
instance Of Chief Justice Roger
Brooks Taney, in whose case 1T
proved fatal. Any student of our
politics knows that religion is a
thing quite apart from party al
legiance. and that any pretension
of privilege depending upon church
influence must inevitably arouse
wide resentment. Considered from
this point of view, the announce
ment in the "World" may be
regarded as an attack on Ryan Is
availability, although his church
connections are not quoted against
him, nor is it clear from anything
revealed in the "World's" exposure
that he is in fact candidate. If
he is in truth candidate, some
more substantial grounds than those
given by the "World" must be
found for him to stand upon.
The history of the efforts of the
friends and admirers of Chef JUS
tice Roger Brooks Taney in th'
same field of endeavor in which the
World" now says Mr.. Ryan is
active, is commended to the en-
thusiastic friends of the ambitious
Virginian.

PRESBYTERIANS AND
THE TEMPERANCE FIGHT

The General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church, in session in
Columbus, after several days of
discussion, ending in a rather heat
ed debate, Wednesday evening,
determined to stand by the Anti
Saloon league rather than to form
a church organization to carry on
the work.
Although there was considerable
feeling expressed in the debate and
in the fight leading up to the dis
cussion, the general assembly is to
be congratulated upon getting upon
the right side of the proposition.
One organization, gwen the sup
port of all of the temperance peo-
yle can accomplish more than two
organizations with divided sup
port. The Anti-Saloon League may
not be what 1t should be as an
organization; the funds may not be
applied just as they should be, but
the Presbyterian church can ac,
complish more by endeavorang to
correct "the ills we have, than
fly to Others that we know not
of -
