CHANCES FOR the ReFoRmeRs.
Old Printer Points Out Where Real
Good Might Be Done.

Did you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only
the upper halves of the letters? The
lower halves are in many cases only
the stems, the remainders of orna-
mental fourishes which have been
gradually reduced in size and length
and are now meaningless. Take, for
Instance, the heading of paper. Cover
up with a blank sheet the lower half
OF the letters, and even II you did
not know what they were you would
have no difficulty In reading the words.
Now, reverse the process and cover
the upper half and if you did not know
the words it would be impossible to
make out the letters. This fact is
even more plainly seen in the case Of
the Roman letters used for headlines.
An L might be mistaken for an I. but
nearly all the other letters are so
plainly Indicated by the shape of the
upper half that the lines may be read
without difficulty. In their zeal for
reform and economy the advocates Of
the new spelling might make this idea
useful and instead of abolishing a few
letters In few words they might cut
on the lower quarter or half of every
letter and so save Is per cent. st

ALL ARGUMENT At AN END.
Youthful Logic That Completely
Silencod Mother.

A small girl of ten was starting to
consume a tower of graham crackers
that she had ingeniously built at the
table. Her parents demonstrated with
her. The girl persisted and was final.
~ sent to bed for disobedience.
The next morning after her father
had gone down to the Office she turned
to her mother with an expression Of
resignation and the words:
well, how long is this going to
last? suppose I've got to stand it
for the present. but just wait till I
grow up and then I'm going to do ex-
actly what please"
Sa ''But, Carol" argued her mother, a
bit alarmed at the child's persistence,
I'm grown up and don't always do
what I wantto."
WELL" remarked Carol, with an air
of conviction which contained a proph.
ecy, "all have to say is that you are
very foolish
The argument was unanswerable
and the mother lapsed into silence.

Scripture and Business.

The use Of Scriptural notices in tho
Wall street Office of Mrs. J. Alven Cay
lord, broker and Bible promoter, are
by no means an original idea with her.
More than one commercial house in

fective. It is recalled that the late
Harry Hill, whose special mission in
Houston street was the refreshment Of
the thirsty, made great moral hit
with his patrons by his keen discr1m.
tnation in Biblical precepts. The same
form of device has long been fixture
in the downtown establishments of q
celebrated purveyor of pie. There it's
influence became so potent that it was

DMUTh'S, COURT HOUSE.
The Zenith City Would Make RANGE
Pay for Gigantic improvements.

Pay for Gigantic movements.
The Duluth News Tribune, known
to all range residents with the ex-
ception of their paid correspondents
as the paper that seemingly thinks
everything that can come to Du.
luth 80 long as the ranges pay the
freight is the proper caper, is out
in advocacy of scheme for the
identifying of the city by the un.
sailed sea to the extent of several
millions of dollars in the way of
court house grounds and improve
ments, and AYERS that the scheme
would not result in increased taxes
because of the fact that the mining
company assessments have been
boosted 80 enormously by the state
board of equalization.
The News Tribune voices the
sentiments of the Duluth citizen to
nicely in anything to draw from
the ranges for the upbuilding of
the present county seat, but when
aught is proposed for the better.
ment of the outlying districts of
the county, the range districts-the
districts which pay the taxes of the
county, there is howl raised in
Duluth that would make Satan
smile and which causes the Duluth
members of the board to think
several times before daring to in.
cur too great an expense for neces.
sary improvements outside the city
limits.
The court house as planned is
good enough-even for Duluth, and
if as the News Tribune asserts the
expenditure of additional millions
will not increase the tax rate let
the money he raised and spent in
needed roads in the development of
this rapidly growing northern Sec
tion-the section that has made
Duluth possibility as a big city
and which is rapidly becoming
peopled with class of honest til
lers of the soil, and which is des-
tined to ultimately become as famed
for it's agricultural and dairying
interests as it is today for its vast
resources of mineral nature.
There are a few sane people in
Duluth; people who realize the in
justice that is being done this Sec
ton through the hog-it-all spirit of
the clique that runs and controls
the political destinies of the Zenith
City, and who realize that unless a
halt is called in the effort to rob the
ranges tor the benefit of a com
,nunity that has nothing in com.
mon with the tax'paying portion OF
the county, there will some day be
united dissent with the result that
a new county will be formed and
the taxation graft cut off forever
And in this connection be it said
that this dissent cannot come too
quickly for the good of the ranges;
that the county seat and all other
things should be lost sight of in
the fight and settled at a later date
even though the plum should go to
Wolf Junction or Winton.

story with evident enjoyment:

said that when he went to talk with
his neighbor about it that Individual
