TACK was not seen at the Cedars in several days

city business trip, he was consoed only by the
presence of William Merwin; for Billy also had bust
ness in New York.
Now, Billy so seldom had business anywhere
cept in football season that his absence from the
Cedars caused some wonderment among his friends
and when he made his appearance there he was the
object of much chatting. FITZGERALD especially
marked upon the inadvisability of anyone's doing
business in such warm weather, and looked mildly
shocked when Billy slangily replied, i've been do

After the women had left the dinner table that
night and the sat their cigars, Billy turned
suddenly to FITZGERALD and said:

she had never thought

always been her adorer.

she supposed; but she sud-

Billy, adding under his breath, She II be surprised

TT seemed to Ethel if all the young men of her
L acquaintance suddenly smitten with business;
for FitzGerad, her devoted attendant disappeared
also pleading business engagement in town. As
she was not at all fond of being alone in her glory,
she greeted Jack Emsdae with more than usual cor
diaity when he appeared on the scene again.
"Oh, Jack" she exclaimed. I'm ever so glad
to see you! I'm afraid Brian took cold the day you
washed him; he's not been well since"
ut was little chilly around here that day." he
said as they went toward the stables where he gave
his best attention to Brian, the splendid fellow leap
ing up and welcoming him with hoarse barks and
evidence of devotion.
Its queer how the dog likes you" said Ethel.
GOOD dog" said Jack systematically. Brian

why don't you like Mr.. FitzGeralds" asked
Ethel.
Il didn't say didn't like him. It was the last
part of your remark referring to-" said Jack
quietly, not even looking at her. though he noted
out of the corner OF his eye the quick flush that
swept across her face.
Now, Jack, don't begin!" she began reproach-
fully; but he interrupted her grave1y:
Il am not going to begin anything, and you
needn't worry for fear 1 shall make love to you any
more. A man knows when he's had enough, and
you showed me SO plainly the other day that was
disagreeable to you, that l will not mention the
subject again. I'm not going to bore any woman
with my love- and I'm going to try to forget that
was ever anything but YOU, very good friend" He
made her grand bow, and smiled at her with his
most winning brightness.

to melt the heart of the sternest college professor

Our loose immigration laws are
largely-yes, almost entirely-respon-
sible for the existence of the an
archist, black hand, highlander and
other societies of assassins in this
country. A good suggestion to
remedy the evil is that advanced by
Father Clifford of St. Peters Catholic
church, Oshkosh, Wis.,, who recon.
mends that all aliens, before being
permitted to land in this country, pro.
duce certificates of character from the
civil authorities of whatsoever place
they come from. The Immigration
question is one which President
Roosevelt seems to have overlooked
in his special message.

A story comes from Verknoturye,
Perm, Russia, that a monk who lived
as a hermit in a forest and had gained
a reputation for his alleged miracu-
lous cures, is guilty of numbering
twenty women. The press dispatch
says that he. has been sentenced to
fifteen years Imprisonment. Fifteen
years! This is the way that justice
is melted out in the domain of the car.
Fifteen years for numbering twenty
women!-less than a year for each
murder. Had this fendish monster
been convicted of lese majesty or
some political crime he would have
been sent to the quicksilver mines Of
Siberia to die inch by inch. Tha,
should have been this villain s reward.
We doubt very much that this bloody
wretch was q monk-in fact we do moi
belieXe that he was: He was more
likely an impostor, a pseudo monk.

In a speech to the National Educa-
tional association at the white house
President Roosevelt, among other
things, said:
IT trust that more and more of our
people will see to it that the schools
train toward and not away from the
farm and workshop. Teach the boy
and girl that their business is to earn
their own LIVELIHOOD; teach the boy
that he is to be the homemaker, the
girl that she must ultimately be the
homekeeper; that the work of the
father is to be the breadwinner and
that of the mother the housekeeper. -
The advice is good-there could be
no better. q

FIRST STATE CONTENTION.

A call has been. issued for the hold
ing of a republican state convention
at Minneapolis on April l6 to elect
four delegates-at-]arge to the republic
can national convention at Chicago.
Delegates are apportioned on the
basis of each 200 votes or major frac-
ton thereof for the republican state
ticket in 1906, and five delegates for
each county. The total number of
delegates is 1,143, of which Mile
Laos will have nine, Benton nine,
Isanti nine, Sherburne nine, Anoka
eleven.
Little interest will be taken in this
convention and it is altogether prob
able that the counties remote from
Minneapolis will not be represented
by full delegations.

I'm weary of the city ways, the hurry, din, and
hustle,
I'm weary of the scorchin' heat, the crowds
that cape and hustle;
I'm longing for bit Of green, the quiet evenin'
bushes
In my own land, in my homeland, Tyrone

hate the groomed-up city swells, the way
they have of tallzin';
hate the looks Of city bellies, their flouncv
style of walkin';
I'd like to hear the colleens speak with TONGUES
as sweet as thrushes,
With modest eyes and quiet mien IN Tyrone
Among the Bushes.
I'd give my soul to sit again beside the fire
at even,
And see the neighbors gather round, their tales
of fancy weavin';
Ye'd wonder for to see them here, with balls
and spreads and brushes,
Well learn then what's Society in Tyrone

The pure food law of Nebraska
received a setback last week when
Judge Cornish instructed the jury to
bring in verdict of not guilty in the
case of State vs.. Swift & Co., the
defendants having been charged with
failure to stamp the net weight on
their packages of ham and bacon.
Judge Cornish holds that the net
branding clause of the law is uncon.
stitutional. This decision will give
the packers greater opportunity to
work the short-weight steal.

Hiram Maxim has invented silent
frearm-a gun, as its name implies,
which has a noiseless discharge-and
it is possible that it may lead to an
entire re-equipment of the armies OF
the world. While noiseless frearm
would likely prove advantageous for
war or hunting purposes, it would be
a murderous weapon in the hands OF
the criminal classes and present new
and difficult problem for the police
authorities of the world to cope with.

For years E. E. McCrea, editor OF
the Alexandria Post-News, was a
legislative reporter on the city press
and had an excellent opportunity of
studying J. F. Jacobson at close
range. In few terse sentences Mr..
McCrea. tells his readers what he
thinks of Mr.. Jacobson:
"No one ever doubted the. honesty
and integrity of the Lac qui Parle
legislator, or considered him Unworthy
of public trust. AS a member of the
lower house for many years His name
was a synonym for honesty and
courage. Fearless in the discharge of
public duty, unfrighted by threat and
irreproachable to corruptionists, ad-
vocating reform measures in advance
of their day, he was accepted as the
champion of the common people,"

One of the latest fads introduced
into this country from England is
"suffrag etting." Suffragetting is a
women's movement to secure the right
of franchise, and it is a bowling farce
with a particularly strong emphasis
on the bowling. In New York, as in
London, the police are experiencing
much difficulty in dispensing women
suffragists who gather on street
corners and pour forth their exhorta-
tions. The police do not like to use
their clubs on the women, and when
they endeavor to handle them gently
the suffragets bring their finger nails
into play; and where is there police
man who will run the risk of having
his eyes scratched out? At present,
say the authorities of New York. the
situation is alarming and it is feared
that drastic measures will have to be
resorted to in order to break up the
movement. But why resort to
"drastic" measures when hose
trained on the suffragets or cage of
mice turned loose would accomplish
the same purpose without iniurinp the
gentler sex? The word "gentler''
is used here advisedly.
