LITTLE PRINCESS TATTERs.
How She Was Made to Realize That
Little Things Were Important.

"And you've lost your crown again,
my daughter?" asked the queen, re-
%provingly.
The princess hung her head. ut
was a heavy old thing, anyway, your
majesty" she petulantly answered.;
and trif1es are %triles, so there's no
use worrying over such a little mat
ter"
Indeed, there were few matters that
the princess did not consider trifling.
She liked to romp and indulge in the
boyish games of her brothers. Not at
all cared she for the pastimes of most
little. ~princesses. So that when she
carelessly broke the head of her won
derful doll, she said it was a mere
triie, and thought no more about it.
When she lost magnificent rings and
other jewels, it didn't matter they
weren't of any use in games, you
know. And when, in leaping over
hedges, she tore her costly silken gar
ments almost into shreds. she wasn't
troubled in the least. "Trifles are
%tri1es," said she; lone must think of
the mor important matters"
But the queen mother didn't agree
with her careless little daughter, who
had earned the name far and wide of
Princess Tatters." Something must
be done-and that very soon-unless
the princess be altogether spoiled in
character.
One day, however, Princess Tatters
rushed wildly about the royal grounds,
crying for every one to help her
search for her favorite pony. She had
been to the royal stables, and there
she was told by a hostler that, some
how, the pony had escaped. And now
she vowed she would not eat or sleep
until the pony was found. All the men
about the castle she babe hunt for her
pet.
Hardly had the servants begun to
do her bidding, when the queen issued
an order for them to return to their
duties, and then, calling to her daugh-
ter, she said:
Il cannot permit the men to forsake
their work for such a trile. Trifes are

NOVELTY PLANNED
FOR AUTO CUP RACE
Supply Stations Arranged So
Spectators Can See
Quick Changes.

One of the novelties Of the Motor
arkway Sweepstakes and the William
X Vanderbilt, jr-. cup race this year
VIII be the introduction Of two official
supply stations, one Of which is TO be
depressed station, Immediately in
front Of the mammoth grandstand.
giving the 5000 spectators an excellent
view Of the methods employed by rae
ing crews IN changing tires and taking
on supplies.
There is a space Of about forty feet
between the edge OF the new cement
parkway and the front row of boxes in
the grandstand. A switch will be run
from the cement curvinR around in
front Of the grandstand. and between
this switch and the first two Of boxes
there viii be a pit about 800 feet long.
ten feet wide and five feet deep. In
this pit the different racing crews will
keep their supplies. including water,
gas, oil, and tires. AS the drivers de-
string supplies turn of on to this
switch. then crews from the bottom
of the pit viii toss up their tire and
gasOlene to the drivers and mechanics.
as in all races, only the driver and
n echanic is allowed TO work on the
changing a tire or putting in gasolene.
The idea Of a depressed supply station
is to give the spectators in the grand
stand, a clear view Of the drivers and
mechanics as they make the lightning
tire changes and other adjustments on
the racing cars.
The heads Of the members Of the
crew are about on a level with the sur
face of the track, ard all supplies must
be kept within the PIT, so that there is
absolutely no obstruction OF the view
while q car is standing in front OF the
grandstand.
Entrants will be required to keep their
gasoIene in five gallon cans, and these
may be handed TO the drivers, who Will
have to empty them into the tanks OF
their cars No gasoline will be fed to
the cars under pressure on account OF
the danger Of such an operation in the
/ open air, and no smoking will be per
mittsd in the neighborhOod OF the stor-
age pits. All gas cans must be sealed
and handed TO the driver in that shape.
Another official supply station will be
established on what may be termed
the back stretch Of the Vanderbilt cir
cult, about twelve miles from the grand
stand and on some part Of the old
Jericho turnpike. This will not be a de-
! pressed station. however, as at the
) grandstand.

power, it is not only vicious, but is so
un-Minnesotan, especially in this mat
ter of the board of control, board of
record as we'll as of action, that this
resolution is not to be tolerated.
There have been intimations hitherto
that the two RS considered themselves
the whole thing, and any man weaker
than Mr.. Leavett, less animated by a
devotion to his state and less con-
scious of his responsibility, would
have been eliminated long ago. But
it is not up to MIR. Leavett to eliminate
himself from the board. We should
conclude that it is up to Gov. Johnson,
whose appointees these two men are,
to consider this action, and to see that
the board of control continues to exist
as board of three members, charged
with supervising the institutions OF the
state, and with placing on record de-
bates over these institutions and
policies related. The governor has
here the opportunity to make some
what clearer his general attitude
toward the board of control, and to
save his administration in very
important particular.-St. Paul Dis

At Elk Lake Park.

Hundreds of people visited Elk Lake
park on Sunday and enjoyed them
selves in various ways - fishing,
boating or reading beneath the spread
ing branches of the giant oaks. One
would naturally suppose that mosqui-
toes would preclude the possibility of
remaining out of doors on Sunday at
the lake shore, but it seems that only
six or seven of the pestiferous insects
have been seen in Mr.. Pratt's domain
this season, and they were flying in
the direction of Princeton. Mosoui-
toes are, for some reason or other, a
rarity at Elk Lake park.
Remember that a celebration will
be given on July Fourth and that it
will be we'll worth while attending.
For real enjoyment it will surpass all
the circuses on the continent.
A new cottage is being built at the
lake and Mr.. Pratt is doing his ut
most to make his summer resort
second to none in the northwest.

GROVER CLEVELAND DEAD.

Heart Failure Causes Death of the Only
Ex-President of the United States.
Grover Cleveland, former president
of the United States, died suddenly at
his home at Westland, Princeton, N.
j., at $40 a. m. yesterday. Death
was due to heart failure, complicated
with other diseases.
The passing away of Mr.. Cleveland
was not Immediately announced, but
was delayed until an official statement
had been prepared by the physicians
who had been attending him in the
various periods of his illness. The
statement follows:
Mr.. Cleveland for many years had
suffered from repeated attacks of gas
trO-intestinal origin. Also he had
long standing organic disease of the
heart and kidneys. Heart failure,
complicated with pulmonary throm-
posus and edema, were the immediate
causes of his death.' -.e
While Mr.. Cleveland had been seri-
ously i'll from time to time, the an
nouncemeut of his death came like a
thunderbolt to those who had been
watching his illness.
Mr.. Cleveland was II years old on
March Is last.

Services Held in Congregational Church
and in Oak Knoll Cemetery.
The annual memorial services of the
knights Of Pythias order were held
in the Congregational church on Sun
day morning and over forty members
OF the local lodge attended,. Rev.
Geo. A. Swertfager, who is a member
OF the order, delivered an impressive
sermon in memory of the brother
knights who have passed beyond and
music appropriate to the occasion was
rendered by the choir.
Following the church services the
knights marched in a body to Oak

held in accordance with the Pythian
ritual and the graves of departed
brothers decorated with floral wreaths,
The custom of setting apart one day
in the year by some of the fraternal
organizations to pay tribute to the
memory of deceased brothers is a very
commendable one-a custom that
should be more generally followed.
