Of the case, and couched in legal par
lance Mr.. Barton is charged with main
tanning an Office at st. Paul and having
assistants employed to keep track of

roads, in factories, ETC., and then send
ing out his hired men and when neces-
sary going himself to the person in
jufed and soliciting him to allow him,

According to the. statement of the
answer the application in this case
was made at time when the patient
was in. the hospital in this city AND
enduring such suffering caused by the

the greatest thing. in making North

products from milling which are used
for feed would be much cheaper than

logs and appointing agents. to distrib-
ute them.
The propaganda for patronage of
home institutions has been effectively
carried on in various sections OF the
country with the result that people
who investigate find that home pat
ronage is best. They secure better
goods: as rule, and pay less for them.
It is found that when freight or ex.
press Is added to the cost of the mail
order goods, that purchasers can do as
well or better at home. 1t must be
considered that goods purchased at
home are usually guaranteed and if
found defective will be made good.
Doing business with mail order
house Is not so convenient or pleasant
in the event of defective goods.
Aside from the personal matter of
cost Of goods, there is the important
question OF the prosperity OF the COM
munity. 1t is a well known fact that
our merchants sell their goods
at lower price than dealers in most
cities, which is another very good rea-
son why we should patronize them
If the local merchants have the benefit
of the home trade they can carry lar.
ger stocks, pay better clerk salaries
etc. The local merchant is the friend
of his customers in time of need and
can and will extend credit to those
who need it and are worthy Of such &C
commodation, The mail order houses
make no such concessions. They ex
tend no credit, pay no local taxes, rent
or wages and are of no possible bene
fit to the community.

RATIONALE OF SUICIDE.
Beautiful, Sunny June Days Move
 Many to SeIf-Destruction.

Suicide has cost France 274 000 lives since 1871, Germany 15S,000 since 1893, and the United States 120, ,0n0 since 1890"
 If one has any doubt as to the seri- ousness of the suicide problem, G<ese figures ought to settle it. They are pre- sented in an article on suicide by MT. George Kennan in the current Me Clure's, and are made more impressive by the assurance that the suicide rate Is constantly and rapidly increasing throughout the greater part of the civ ilized world "In 1881 the annual sui eide rate of the United States was only 12 per 100000 of the population, and our total number of suicides was only 605 last year our suicide rate had risen to 126 per 100000 and our sui cides numbered 10,7S2."
 To account for this condition MT. kennan analyses all the records avail able. He establishes what he calls "the suicide belt" It lies in the north tenn perate zone, where the climate is most favorable to human development and happiness" This is paradoxical, but MT Kennan puts the high rate Gown. not to the moderate climate, but to the fact that the zone in question IS the home of the most cultivated races and the seat of the highest and most complicated civilization. In this zone, he says, the struggle for life is the fiercest, the interference with natural laws is most extensive, and the physi. ical and emotional wear and tear of

LOVE SONG REUNiTES
 COUPLE AFTER YEARS

MT and Mrs. Arthur Ebeling, a prom East Side of New York city, were recent ly reconciled after an arrangement of four years through the medium of a senti- mental ballad
 Mr. and Mrs. Ebeling attended one of the vaudeville. theatres last week and although they sat in different parts of the house, their eyes instinctively met from time to time during the perform ance, making them both feel embar- rassed and uncomfortable.
 It was well along toward the end of the performance, when one of the ac- tresses on the bill came out and sang the latest New York song craze, Just Some one:'
 When you're happy and contented. And the sky above IS blue, she sang, Its kind of nice 10 know there's someone, Glad to share it all with you.''
 Mr. and Mrs. Ebelings eye met with a look that they had not contained in four long years and as the singer pro- ceeded to tell through the song lyric,
  to share your troubles, the estranged pair were doing some hard thinking. At the conclusion of the play they were both in wonderfully receptive mod for reconciliation.
 In the jam at the theatre door, some how in an unexplainable manner, they found themselves very close together MT. Ebeling also found himself pos sessed of his wife's hand. AS he left responsive squeeze, he whispered in her ear: "Ethel, l want Just Someone tc come home with me and that Just Someone is yourself
 They got in the cab and drove home for the first time together in four years Now all their friends are talking about this romance of real life which reads like fiction. but the happy couple are not worrying over their friends opinion and the neighbors hear them at the piano every night singing together the chorus

Oriqin of Harvard's Crimson.

Sidney Curtis in Success Magazine.
 Although President Eliot's opposition to modern college football is well known, ne has always been interested in sane ath- letics, and during his undergraduate days himself participated in college sports. Many a crew has listened to his interest ing experiences of those days when Har- yard pulled eight oars and Yale six-a time allowance usually being given for the difference-and when the crew met nrofessonals and raced for prize mon,y which got the crew out Of debt. But all .f this was part of his desire to Keep mn his physical mental and moral health.

FISHERMEN KILL
 FISH WITH CLUBS

Fish are so abundant in the waters of Northern Minnesota that the records be- ing made by anglers from all parts, tes- tiied to and vouched for make the fish ing stories of the past sound like trav- elers' tales.
 c. P. Trepanier of the St. Paul Rod and Gun club, and S. S. Minto, a broker of New York, who have fished in the vicinity for the last five seasons, have returned to the city and report the dis covery of new place where the the big ones that get away may be securely hooked and landed for the inspection of '11nockers," and the consumption of gourmots. This place is in the vicinity of Dorset, near Park Rapids on the SaulS Center-Bemdji branch of the Great Northern railway.
 At this point these two fishermen killed IS of the finest fish ever hooked in Northern Minnesota. The place has long been known as the favorite swimming ground of the famous Sand lake trout (really muskallonge), and, strange to say, the 13 fish each weighed IS pounds. They brought a basket back to St. Paul and are now rejoicing in the optima facie evil dence that the day of the big fish getting away has gone for ever.
 But their sport did not end here. After finishing with the trout they went over to the "Forx." Here the only fish in the Red river is that "hog of the deep," called the catfish. Trepanier says when a member of the St, Paul Rod and Gun club wants one of these 'wallowers' he goes down stream to a shallow place in the Red river and waits for his victim with a good sized hickory club Its just like butchering a porker," explained his New York friend.
 They killed 2S.
 Now there is much joy among the mem bers of the St. Paul Rod and Gun club.

WOMAN'S RELIGION
 AND HER MARRIAGE

The last chapter in Miss Milmines Life of Mrs Eddy in the June McClure's is a review of her writings and teachings
 "The most discouraging thing about Mrs. Eddys dissertations upon anatomy and physiology Is that she seems to know so little about the physical facts and laws which she despises. She says, for in stance, that a father plunged his infant babe, only a few hours old, into water for several minutes and repeated this operation daily until the child could re- main under water for 20 minutes, nov ing and playing without harm, like fish,
 Among the many incidental ideas which Mrs. Eddy has added to Quimbyism are her theory that the Godhead is more fem mine than masculine, and her qualllleo disapproval of matrimony. Quimby hlm- self had a large family and saw nothing unspiritual in marriage. In defining the real purpose of marriage Mrs. Eddy says nothing about children to happily exis- tence by constant intercourse with those adapted to elevate it, is the true purpose of marriage In her chapter on mar riage she says The scientific morale or marriage is spiritual unity. Fro- portionately as human generation ceases, the unbroken links of eternal harmonious being will be spiritually discerned.'
 Tn her chapter called 'Wedlock In Miscellaneous Writings QS9O Mrs. Eddy, after a vague and evasive discussion or the subject, squarely puts the question: Is marriage nearer right than celibacy! Human knowledge inculcates that IL ls' whne science indicates that 1t is not. In the same chapter she further says; ,Hu- man nature has bestowed on wife the right to become a mother; but if the wife esteems not this privilege, by mu- tual consent, exalted and increased affec- tions, she may win higher
 Mrs. Eddy apparently believes that Jesus Christ taught us ito ignore family relations: Jesus acknowledged no tles or flesh. He said "Call no man your Ia- ther upon the earth; for one is your Ia ther which is in heaven" Again He asked: ,, 10 is my mother, and who are my brethren but they will do the will or my father?" We have no record or ms calling any man by the name Of rather'

THE JOURNALIST AND
 THE PUBLIC CITIZEN

man who assumes to be coy, but pardon him that, as one of the legitimate meth- ods of obtaining his purpose. To such. as well as to the others, he lends the columns freely in the gathering of news
 Few newspaper men become so callous- ed to the great events they record as to be indifferent to them. They, too have a right to pose, l. the subjects of their narratives have that right. Aud SO you may see the hardened reporter sitting dreamily and indifferently while he covers his assignment, smiling faintly at exuberant oratory, watching the clock impassivey as the applause extends past the period of normality, apparently al- most blase in the presence of an event that is making national history; and still you may know that he is thrilling like the crowds in the galleries from the be- ginning of his task to the last moment of the final session, when the platform has been adopted, the presidential can- didate selected the claims of vice-presi idential choices compromised, and the eavel falls.

the economic contest is most acutely felt"
 Climate is not controlling factor, but weather and season are calculably influential An examination of world statistics leads Mir Kennan to this sur prising verdict: "The tendency to sui- eide. throughout the civilized world, Is greatest in the pleasantest seasons or the year; it is everywhere greatest In the pleasantest month of the pleasant est season; and in New York city 1t Is greatest on the clearest and sunniest days of the pleasantest month. From the point of view of science, therefore, it is perfectly reasonable and absolute iv accurate to say on a beauurul, sunny day in early June, This IS regu- lar suicide weather
 Some law of contrast probably ac- counts for June suicide. And any mor- bidly self-conscious person who has teen visited by that abominable de- pression which comes in the midst of
