A Stroke of Luck.

He was a speculator, and for year
past nothing had been coming his way
except expenses. Misfortunes never
come by themselves. One day MS
daughter informed him, in a cold and
unfeeling manner, that if he did not
give her a diamond tiara worth at
least $1,000 she would elope with the
coachman.
Come to my arms. my darling" he
exclaimed, as the tears of JOY coursed
down his wrinkled cheeks; come to
my arms"
do | get the tiara?" she asked.
hesitating ere she accepted his inVi-
tation.
"Of course not" he smiled, delight
edly; "you get the coachman. owe
him eight months wages!

In Hennepin county the Bryan
democrats raised a great howl be
cause, according to their story,
republicans voted at the eau
cuses and helped the Johnson
men. In Crookston there was a
red hot fight in the convention,
the Johnson men emitting a loud
noise because the republicans
had helped the Bryan contingent.
Truly, Minnesota democracy is
having a touch of the strenuous
life.

Old Glory.

Children all know that Old Glory
Is a pet name for our national nag;
but they may not all know who chris
tened it so. An apparently authentic
account gives the honor of having
first used the name to William Driver
Of Salem, Mass In 1881 he was cap
tain of the brig Charles Doggett, and
when making preparations to start
on a voyage to the South Pacific, he
was presented with large American
flag for his vessel. When it was sent
aloft and tioated out upon the air.
Capt. Driver christened it Old Glory.

Dick O'COnnor is still a big
medicine man of Minnesota dem
ocracy, and this is said without
any desire to detract one iota
from Frank Days abilities
as a campaign manager. Dick
not only handled the St. Paul
election with success but he help
ed whole lot in the entire John.
son movement.

One fine feature of the recent
Bryan-Johnson fight for supre.
macy in Minnesota was effectual
erasement of the delectable G..
A. Quist from the political map in
Hennepin county. Minnesota
democracy cannot win with a
milestone like that around it's
neck.

The editor of The Herald does
not agree with Bob Dunn in
everything political but finds the
editorial page of Bobs fine news
paper, the Princeton Union, the
most entertaining reading that
comes to his desk. The UuiOn
without Bob would like Hamlet
with Hamlet left out.

Brewers Go Down, announc-

The general impression has here

It may be lots of fun to play

but it's bound to knock a man

The Wadena Tribune refers
to S. w. Leavitt of the State
Board of Control as. that noted
patriot who does not take any
interest in politics unless for his
own personal gain" That's a
hard slap at Leavitt but it's de-
served. Leavitt would grace
private citizenship far more than
he does a public Office.

In his farwell address to the
officers and men of the big fleet
at Sa n Francisco Rear Admiral
Evans said it made no difference
whether the armor belt is low or
high, or whether it is made of
leather, wood or eggshell; lit is
the men who can shoot straight
est and stand punishment the
longest who win battles, and it
is of such stuff that the American
navy is made" And they cheer
ed him to the echo. Now, does
any nation feel like pulling
feathers out of the American
eagles tail?

Homestead Entries in Las AMI

Are Declared to Be IS Per Cent
Fraudulent.
MILLIONS OF ACRES
Have Been Stolen from the Gov
ernment in Like Manner.
Illegal Cutting of Timber Has
Been Stopped.

Leadv1lle, Colo, Feb. 5.-That fully
40 per cent of the homestead entries in
the Las Animas forest reserve are
fraudulent was the remarkable state
ment made by Daniel E. Fitton. in
charge of that reserve, at the meeting
OF the foresters Of Colorado and sur
rounding states. G. D. Pollock, as
sistant forester Of the United States.
in the discussion following the address
asserted that millions of acres of land
on the forest reserves had been stolen
from the government. Fitton said that
when the forest service first took
charge OF the Las Animas reserve fully
$5Oo worth of timber was cut every
Gay Illegally. This. he said, had been
stopped.
Forester Pollock said that the state
ments OF F1tton could be made of all
the forest reserves in the country.

Seriously Interrupts Communication
in the East.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-A sleet storm
during the night which turned to rain
early today, seriously affected tele-
graphic communication between Chi
caso and many outside cities, especial
ly in the west. st. Louis, Omaha and
Kansas City were entirely cut off from
the east during the early hours by a
sleet storm which surrounded ST.
Louis and extended into Iowa.
In Chicago the storm affected much
of the transportation in the early rush
hours. Electric railroads were the
principal sufferers, the steam lines
experiencing but slight delay. The
elevated roads had great difficulty in
operating their trains owing to ice
forming on the third rail, the Ken
wood branch of the South Side
elevated road being tied up completely
early in the day.
