Mans Greatest Weakness.

AS long as men remain what they

turies, woman who is an able cook
will have more chances to marry than
one who is not. Unfortunately. men
are disposed to look for beauty as
well, and beautiful women are seldom

Substitute for Confetti.

The time may be opportune for an
appeal to inventors to consider the
urgent need there is for some substi-
tute for confetti. To admit that rice
was bad is not to make the substitute
any better. 1t is comparatively pain
less when thrown, but the absolute
impossibility of removing 1t from
clothes or carpets without picking it
off by individual particles should be
enough of itself to condemn 1t in the
eyes of all reasonable people.

sands of Employees.

SANDS OF Employees.
Catholic Austria has perfected a
system which shows her people respect
the unemployed, but have no use for
those who are voluntarily idle Every
town and hamlet has it's employment
bureaus. All are conducted by tele-
phones, and as q result there is little
or no idleness in the empire. The
larger cities have several of these bu-
reaus.
A man who can find work. but who
refuses, is sentenced to penal servi-
tude for three years. If he satisfies
his cutodians that he has mended his
ways, he may be released at an earlier
date. Begging is not tolerated at
all.
EVERY unemployed man must regis
ter. and If no employment is found
for him at his trade, he is provided
with meals for the day, a bath and
bed. Next day he is sent to the gov
ernment farm, where he is employed
until such time as other work is FORTH
coming.

States commissioner Of labor and COM

The Breakfast Mood,

Breakfast should be the cheeriest
meal Of the day. Everybody should
come to breakfast with bright looks
and pleasant words, and nobody should
indulge in a disposition to be grumpy,
fault-finding and morose in the early
part of the day. Whether one has
slept we'll or i'll, whether the prospects
for the days work are agreeable or
the reverse whether or not the food
be to ones liking, the duty remains
the same. At breakfast we start the
days schedule, children and grown
people equally having before them
definite duties and possible pleasures,
and the breakfast table is the worst
place we can select for selfishness and
crabbedness. Unfortunately, there are
people who never take much trouble
to be decent at breakfast; they affirm
that the machinery is not we'll under
way until later in the morning, and
they give short answers, snub their
juniors, and are generally i'll to please
at the morning meal. Should tempta-
tion to he cross assail anyone at break
fast it should be resolutely resisted.
Almost universally it would be non
existent if people rose a little earlier
than they do and dressed with less
haste and more deliberation. The plan
of securing little quiet time for
thought and prayer. before breakfast
is sure preventive Of a morbid mood
at that time. Whoever has communion
with God before beginning the day
will meet his fellow beings with a
sweetness, good cheer that are in
vincible.
The Irish standard., 1908-04-18

those in charge also sought the best
vocal talent. Scenery was ordered
painted especially and some costumes
were imported from France. 1t is fig
ured out that to produce the opera this
year will cost s3,500Qo.
But it must be remembered that this
is the first time amateurs have at
tempted this delightful piece, that it
is the first occasion of it's appearance
in ST. Paul and the initial performance
of the opera outside of New York and
Boston
A company of $50 has been organized
consisting Of a double male chorus
numbering 60 trained voices, while the
women's chorus numbers IS. An Or
chestra Of so pieces will accompany
the troupe, many Of the musicians be-
longing to the ST. Paul Symphony Or
chestra.
One OF the choruses, that Of the
Warders, takes such a conspicuous part
in "The Yeomen Of the Guard" that it
has been likened to the famous sextet
in "Floradora." This chorus Of nine
men has been chosen with great care
from the mems voices, nearly all Of
whom have sung with the st. Paul
Choral club.
From dramatic as we'll as musi
cal standpoint ''The Yeomen of the
Guard" has not been equaled by any
light comic opera written since it's time,
quarter Of q century ago. The pre-
sentation of the opera, while a big task,
has been made easier because of the
talented artists who will take the prin-
cipal roles. The members of the cast
have patiently attended rehearsals
since last November and since the first
OF March these have come at the rate
of four a week. This gives a glimp
Of the magnitude of the performance,
and shows what efforts are being taken
to make the production one of the best
staged, sung and acted ever given in
the Northwest.
For the third successive year Prof.
Leo. G. Bruenner of st. Paul will rwield
the baton as musical director, while he
will be ably assisted again by Miss
Ethel Malcolm, Of Minneapolis, who
will have charge Of the stage.
For the three nights the Sd boxes in
the Auditorium have been sold, so that
the affair will be made brilliant So
cial spectacle as we'll as a rare musi-
cal treat.
The sale Of seats opens at the Audi
torium box office April. 18th, and the
prices. $3.50, $1Oo and so cents; boxes,
5000. :. .- -.

Ku Klux and Night Riders

The June number of Uncle Re-
mus's-The Home Magazine con-
tains two articles which may seem
at first glance, to treat of rather
similar conditions: the Sixth Install
ment of Mr.. John c. Reeds story
of the Ku Klux Klan, of which he
was one of the leaders, and an ar
ticle on the Kentucky Tobacco War,
by Mr.. j. Slaughter Carter. But
in reality the likeness is merely in
the more or less picturesque fact of
the existence of the Night riders.
The purpose of the Ku Klux Klan
was to rid the Southern States of the
era of governmental corruption
against any future attempt at negro
domination in political way. The
question of white supremacy was
profounded in very crete fashion,
and was unhesitatingly answered by
the Southerners of the seventies;
they used force and trickery to
overthrow a rotten regime, furnish
ing another example of that Paradox
which has been expressed several
times in the history of the Anglo
Saxon race--illegal action for the
purpose of protecting essential le-
gality. There may be and doubt
less are, various opinions as to the
justification of the Ku Klux Klan's
existence and operations. But
with regard to the Night riders,
while the explanation for their ex-
istence is obvious enough, the task
of justlfying it is scarcely possible.
If every community which suffered
from the tactics of the trusts were
to resent 1t in armed force we should
speedily have condition of anar.
chy, The Kentucky Night Riders
are not making a particularly bold
demonstration; it is more essential
ly dangerous and foolish one.

Obituary

We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Mary Totty, wife of
j. B. Totty. She died June II,
1908, and was laid to rest in Oak
Grove cemetery. She was 6S years
of age and has been a member of
the Methodist church 43 years.
She was loved by all who knew her.
1t is hard to give up loved one but
God saw best to take her from this
world to brighter one in Heaven,
to wear a golden crown. Weep
not for her, for she has gone to
meet those who have out stripped
her and have gone. She leaves a
husband and eight children and sew
eral grandchildren to mourn their
loss. She has left this world of sOr-
row, suffering and PAIN and gone
through the pearly gates of paradise.

made for each place but when Vir-

that the fight was lost.
