walls and ceilings such shrieks are 1 elicited from the terrified female as i to rouse the whole family and bring them to the rescue with brooms and canes.
 All of which is sheer foolishness, for if she would give him a chance the bat could prove to her entire sat-
 isfaction that he is an intelligent and amiable creature and not unworthy , of a permanent place in the household. Yes, the detested bat makes a most
 agreeable household pet
 He is a most affectionate creature | and will attach himself to a person as 1 does a kindly and intelligent dog. A college professor says: When 1 was student at the university l had two | bats, which came and went freely of
 their own accord. In the evening they were wont to rush through the win
 dow into the neighboring garden,
 hunt insects, and when their hunger
 was appeased they would return to
 my room. They slept on a bookshelf,
 where they suspended themselves from a dictionary. At the present time I posses a bat that shows a touching attachment to my person and follows me about through the rooms of my house, if I called it.
 This last statement seems to be un- questionable testimony in favor of the
 theory that the ear of the bat is not only susceptible to high and shrill sounds, but also for the lower sounds Of the human voice Recognizing that it. is called. the creature evidently is able to distinguish different shades and accents.
 This advocate of bats as pets fur ther states that when he talks pleas antly to it his present favorite raises and lowers it's ears. much after the manner of a horse, blinks it's eyes in a contented fashion, licks it's nozzle with it's tongue, and, in general. dis ports itself in a manner that indicates it is pleased and contented. When harshly spoken to, it lays back it's ears, shrinks away, and seeks to es- cape by climbing up the curtain.
 The proprietor of this bat adds: When I sit by lamplight in the morn ing working at my desk. I o9n hardly get rid of it. It comes and goes, ram bling about the desk or climbing up my legs or else it sits on the 'curtain and endeavors by violent shakings of the head and shrill twittering to ex- cite my attention and to obtain worms its usual food-thereby. It's appetite is indeed something uncanny Thirty fat worms are readily taken at one meal l'-November Technical World l Magazine.

The Theme of Rev. MT. Campbell of the First Presbyterian Church Yes- terday.

Yesterday morning Rev Henry Mar tyn Campbell preached from the text, 'Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing. but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men" Mathew 5:l3. Following is an abstract from the discourse:
 The part Of the sermon on the Mount that We have for our consider alton is one of the most practical parts of this wonderfully comprehensive dis course. This passage contains an i'm portant declaration, a solemn warning, and a statement of the results.
 Tt might have seemed a ridiculous statement for the Master to make to these untaught men that they were the Nit of the earth; yet history has proven His statement abundantly true. Christ did not say that to them to the end that they might say to others. We are holier than thou, but I dare say Jesus did intend to convey to them the knowledge that they were heirs of heaven close inspection of this text reveals Christ's conception of the

ADVERTISING PROJECT
 IF ALL MINNESOTA
Commercial Clubs Of That State Want to Spend S1ooooo Year.

Saint Paul, Minn-. Nov. Especial
 Correspondent of The Repub:can.-
 Backed by their state federation, the
 commercial clubs of Minnesota are
 making a whirlwind campaign for legislation which will permit the ex- penditure of $1OO.00O a year here after in advertising the state to the world at large The movement has received energetic endorsement in every section of the state, aud many members of the coming legislature, which will voncene in four moths.
 have volunteered their services in pro- noting the passage of the proper bills to give Minnesota a forceful and busi- nesslike campaign. The state is now engaged in advertising as a state con trolled effort, but the appropriation is in the opinion of the commercial or ganiZation. woefully small. There is every indication that the desired leg islation will be readily adopted.
 Interest in the project in the agri- cultural districts is keen. Minnesota has S400O square miles of fertile land of which only thirty-four per cent is under the blow. Its tourist attractions have never been advertised except in a purely local way, although the state has 10000 lakes, and Otter Tail county alone has ,001 within it's boundaries. In it's far northern sec tions is the finest big game country in America for the sportsman, and canoe routes through a vast forest wilderness where a sportsman may travel for two months without making the same rivers and lakes twice, but these regions are comparatively un- known. The state federation of com mercial clubs is making it's campaign on the platform that Minnesota will become one of the great summer re- gions of the United States, if properly 
 The campaign for larger advertising has been largely stimulated by the states experience during the past year, when 60.000 inquiries have pour ed into the state offices at Saint Paul from seekers after land and business opportunities. as the result of the limited advertising already done. The state immigration department is flood ed with correspondence, and without much larger funds cannot adequately reap its harvest from the inquiries al- ready received. The results are con- sidered conclusive proof that a cam paign backed by ample funds will make the enormously rich wld lands of the state the mecca of a settlers invasion such as the northwest has never seen before. Experts state that Minnesota can support a population of 30,000,000. although it's present | population is but 3,OOO,OOO

| years. Theterm varies from 2.S4 J years in the South Atlantic division. | to 5.93 in the North Atlantic. The average term has increased slightly since 1904. The term is still very short, not more than five years. If the children who finish grammar school and spend perhaps a year in the high school are as densely ignor- ant as the evidence indicates the av- craze child who attends school five years must go forth to meet the strug- gle for existence almost an illiterate.
 Last year 14.SS1 children left the New York city fifth grammar grades. in lesser numbers children in every town and city in the United States, from Maine to California, left school at the same time. the vast majority of them to earn their bread. Children of the people, for whom the public schools exist, they left school with minds practically void of knowledge Most of them could barely read and write, and not one of them had been taught anything that would even re- motely or indirectly help him to earn decent liring.
 lHinh WlldI lnlS means lnuuStrlal- lyi It means that every year millions of American boys and girls-for all grow up to be Americans. no matter where they were born-are sent out wherever workers are needed-to fac tories to trades. to commerce, to all industries, as ignorant and helpless as kittens. They are turned out into the world of fierce competition utterly un- fit to compete, into a world of splen- did opportunities. without the train- ing or the intellectual power to enable them to take advantage of these op- portunities Is it strange that skilled workmen are so few, or that the un- skilled, low waged occupations are so overcrowded, or that our armies of unemployed are larger every time hard timess bring them into notice?

condition of society. and also points
 out the fact that his religion is the
 only thing that can save the world from blank despair. We put salt on | things that are dead. and not on the 1 living, thus preventing decay. Society
 was dead. This is evident from state I ments made again and again in both
 the old and new testaments. Men have often tried to better society. but all
 who have not come to the people with l the religion, of the Lord Jesus Christ | have made a failure of 1t. Why has ! failure come to so many? Some will | say that education is all we need; but, | if the training of the mind were all that is needed, we might then expect | that the brainiest men would be the best But is it so? Take Goethe, for ] example a man of the very broadest
 culture, and vet his writings were not as a rule such as would make men | better. No, education is not all that is necessary. Another says that re- formation is the thing. What is refor- nation? It is that which proceeds on the principle of Stop your meanness. But sin is a disease and there is noth- ing in the man himself that will help him. You might as well say to one tortured with fever, Stop allowing the
 raVages of the fever and get we'll
 as to tell a man to reform. Another | says, Law is what we need History refutes that statement. It was not the enactment of laws that in the early
 part of the eighteenth century saved
 England, but it was the religion of
 Christ as preached by Wesley that
 brought new life and health to deGrad-
 ed society. There is nothing aside
 from the principles as laid down by
 the Man of Galilee that can save so-
 ciety.
 Our text contains a solemn warn
 ing, If the salt have lost his savor.
 wherewith shall it be salted?' Can
 those who are the salt of the earth
 lose their power and influence? There are those in every community whose
 lives are influences for good Such in
 fluence most certainly can be lost and all too often is lost. It is true in ma ture That which ceases to grow dies.
 It is true in human experience: that which is not constantly practised be- comes a useless accomplishment It is almost true of things inanimate; the unused, rusty machine becomes of no value. Christ spoke this truth in his parable of the talents. It is Gods truth. Do not wonder at it. If your spiritual power and influence are not used they will be lost utterly. And what is the secret of keeping spiritual power? Use it. Elijah. lying under the junipers, became discouraged: to bring back his spirit and renew that courage God told him to do something. The whole secret of spiritual power is, Be active
 The last thought in our text is an awful one, It is thenceforth good for nothing. but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men,. If you are not warming the world. the world l is freezing you. God is watching con 1 stantly. If We could go out into our daily life remembering that the eye of i the KinS of kings is watching US. we | would live differently"

Less than five per cent of all the millions of school children in the United States ever reach the second ary school, says Rheta Childe Door, in the November Delineator. and it is safe to say that not more than twenty-five per cent of the whole number ever go above the fifth grade That is to say. of the 23.792, ,723 child ren enrolled in 1907, at least 1S,000, 900 will leave school between the fifth and sixth grades.

Among the features at the North
township school commencement exer-
eises which were held at Hessville
was the address of Township Trustee
Richard Schaaf which was at the same
time a goodbye for him. He spoke
as follows:
Members of the class of '0S, ladies
and gentlemen; Your presence here
toninght shows that you are inter
ested in education. am glad to see
so many here on this, the fourth an
nual commencement of the North
township schools.
Teahcers, parents, friends, pupils, en-
joy to the utmost this occasion, for it
is the worthy reward of eight years
work In the common schools.
Caleb Mills said: THE hope of our
country lies in the common schools"
I have not the time for a lengthy
statement of the advantages offered in
this state for the education of its peo-
pie. The education of children is a
common interest to US here tonight
Conditions in almost every phase of
life have changed vastly In recent
years. The schools have greatly i'm
proved There has been Improvement
in all lines of our rural school edu-
cation. We have better trained teach
ers and better equipped school houses,
The question of the character of our
public school houses is in fact, a more
serious one than people think. we
heautify our homes: successful BUSH
ness men have respectable places of
business. Why then should not the
school grounds be places of beauty,
comfort and cleanliness?
We know. that ignorance is not a
good thing. We do not like 1t especial
ly in the community in which we live.
We do not object to any taxation
which goes for the upbuilding of the
school. We feel that that shows our
civilization for the uncivilized. the saw
age pays no taxes and applied nu
age pays no taxes and has no school
system. The money raised for schools
by fair taxes and applied properly is
for the safety of our country.
Every child in the United States
should be educated. We ought to be
glad that Indiana has a compulsory
education law and that our state ranks
among the first in public school edu-
cation.
A majority of the great men and
women Of our country have come from
the rural schools.
