English Village Scenery.

There are no more beautiful villages in England than those which nestle in the Cotswolds. Whether in Oxford shire, Worcestershire or Worcester shire, 1t is among the low hills and fertile valleys of the Cotswolds that one finds thes most picturesque farm houses of gray stone, mainly in the Jacobean style, the prettiest gardens, the greatest variety of wild flowers. Tourist-ridden Devonshire cannot com pete with this region Nation.

FIGHT OH MAIL ORDERS

That the mail order houses are detri- mental to healthy business conditions, seems to be an accepted fact by every one, but just how to overthrow these enormous concerns has been serious problem to everyone that is affected by them.
 A merchant of Iowa devolved a plan which it was thought would put them out of business. He proposed that ev- erybody who wished to overthrow these concerns, write to them for one of their immense catalogues, and after it had been received, consign it to the rubbish pile. These catalogues are is- sued at a cost of at least $1 apiece, and if two or three hundred thousand peo- pie should put them to the expense of a quarter of a million dollars a year, without spending anything with them, 1t is easily seen which way their prof it's would go.
 But the mail order houses got next, and now they require deposit for ev- cry catalogue sent out, which will be allowed as part payment on purchases up to given amount. Consequently there must be another plan inaugurated against them.
 The American Lumberman in it's cur rent issue in discussing the problem, advises that when ordering goods from these concerns, a letter worded as fol- lows would be quite appropriate

DR. RIDDLES
PLATFORM
,anaiiate for the Legislature Declares
his Position on the issues Of
the day
To the Democracy Of Grady County

A candidate for representative Of
Grady county in the state legislature
should stand for principles. In an
nouncing my candidacy for that re-
sponsible Office, yriefly state my
views on some Of the most important
questions that tne legislature may,
from time to time, legislate upon.
In this brief statement, space will
not permit me to enter into a discus
sion Of political affairs at great
length, nor those issues which shall
advocate in this campaign and shall
press to an issue in the legislature,
should my candidacy commend itself
to the democracy of Grady county.
First.-I affirm and declare my
allegiance to the principles of the
democratic party as expressed in her
platforms through the long years of
the existence Of the party, as pro
mulgated by past conventions, and
as taught by the great leaders cf our
party, from the sagacious sage Of
Monticello, to the matchless common
er, William J.. Bryan.
Seco-5-I fully endorse the con-
stitution that has been w-sitten by
the delegates Of the constitutional
convention.
Third favor separate schools,
cars. coaches and waiting rooms for
the negro race.
Iourth-I favor liberal free
class should have the authority to
school system and compulsory sys-
ter if education.
TIL belleve cities of the first
establish juvenile courts, and that
the state should provide for re-
form school where youths should be
sent for correction, rather than be
placed in prison with hardened and
vicious criminals.
Sixth.--I favor opening and estab-
! fishing good roads and constructing
substantial bridges.
Seventh believe convicts should
be worked on public highways.
Eighth favor the enactment of
stringent laws against carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Ninth favcr a law infiicting the
death penalty for rape or an assault
with intent to rape.
Tenth.-I favor a law inficting the
death penalty for killing a human be-
ing with malice aforethought.
Eleventh. favor law making it
life Imprisonment for highway rob
berry where firearms or other dang
erous weapons are used to accom-
pIish the act-and I favor severe PEN
alties for the commission Of all fell
onies.
Twelfth favor law against
chnd labor in mines, factories and
other dangerous and unsanitary
places.
Thirteenth believe in the most
rigid economy in public expenditures.
Fourteenth favor all laws that
look to the upbuilding of society and
the preservation Of the morals Of the
people. I believe in the church, the
school, and the sanctity Of the home.

daey. l shall ask only that consider

pies nd issues for which l stand

MINNESOTA. LEGISLATURE.

4 v
81. Paul, MIMI, Feb. 8-After be-
ing told that to pass resolution to-
Gay would be a slap at Senator Knute
Nelson, the senate voted 80 in favor
OF the measure and 10 against it.
The resolution was the one intro
duced by Senator Garfield several
days ago, and called up today for
nnal action. 1t is a memorial to con-
gress asking that the bill limiting the
number of hours per day railroad
employees may work, be reported out
OF committee to the floor of congress
Tor fair show. The bill aims to de-
crease the number of railway acct
dents by prohibiting overworking of
men. Senator Garfield had explained,
on introducing the resolution, that it
was introduced by him on request of
United States Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin. Senator Putnam secured
the floor and strongly opposed the
resolution. ''LaFollette came into
this state last election for the special
purpose of opposing and attacking
Senator Nelson" he said. II for one
believe Senator Nelson stands for the
sentiment of the people of Minnesota.
The passage of this resolution would
be direct slap at Senator Knute
Nelson and am opposed to it," On
roll call several senators explained
they were voting for the resolution
because they believed in it's subject
matter, and they meant no reflection
on Minnesota's senior United States
senator.
The most important measure, per-
haps, which has been introduced in
the legislature this session was intro
duced in the senate today by J. M.
Hackney of Hamline and in the house
by s. O. Morse of Slayton. It pro-
vides for an exposition at the state
fair grounds in 1908 to celebrate the
Goth anniversary of Minnesota's
statehood, the exposition to be under
the management of the directors of
the State Agricultural society. The
bill empowers them to erect neces-
sary new buildings and acquire 80
acres more of land. The money is to
be raised by sale of state certificates,
similar to those issued for the state
capitol, and the certificates to be paid
off by the profits of the exposition
and ensuing state fairs. For the ex-
position, the governor, attorney gen.
eral and auditor are added to the
state fair directors.

him. Milton Smith appeared for Har-
grove, conforming to the established
order by asking a few simple ques-
tions, after which the court instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict for the
plaintiff, giving the children into her
care.
Ten days later Milton Smith, friend
and attorney for Hargrove, announced
to the latter that he was going to
marry Aimee and hoped there would
be no hard feelings. Then Hargrove
began to wake from his dream.

Ernest Hargrove, student, dreamer,

to petition the court to set aside the
decree of divorce granted to Aimee
Hargrove on the ground, he is said to
allege, that it was obtained by con-
spiracy on the part of both the wom-
an and the judge and asking that the
custody of the children be awarded to
him without delay.

went west and established themselves
in a splendid home in a fashionable

seemed to have at their disposal.
