A French review has been asking
leading writer's and artists what they
habitually drink, and the replies are
on the lefty plane OF those that are
made when men are asked to name
their favorite books. With the excep-
tion OF Rodin, Flammarion, and a very
few others, who frankly admit their
preference for strong drink, these
French Bohemians of to-day seem to
derive their inspiration mainly from
water. And this in Paris that once
knew Henri Murger, that still knows
one of the worst water supplies in
a civilized city! Do you feel i'm
PEELED, If great .Ian, to say that you
drink water, just as you seem obliged
to say that Shakespeare and the BIZ

ABOUT THE EDITOR
A Small Boys Ideas Regarding the
Man Who Manufactures the
Country Newspaper

The following story, said to have
first seen the light of day in the col
umns of New Brunswick paper, is
going the rounds of the country press
A little boy in town was ordered
by his father to write an essay on
Editors, and here is the result:
don't know how newspapers come
to be in the world. l don't think
God does, for he hain't got anything
to say about them editors in the
Bible | think the editor is one of
the missing links you read of, and
stayed in the bushes until after the
flood; and then came out and wrote
the thing up and has been here ever
since. / don't think he ever dies.
never saw dead one and never heard
of one getting licked. Our paper is a
mighty good one: but the editor goes
without an overcoat all winter and
don't wear any gloves, and paw amt
paid his subscription since the paper
started.
l askt paw if that was why the
editor had to suck the juice out of
snow balls in winter, and 60 to bed
when he had his clothing washed in
summer. And then paw took me out
to the wood shed and he licked me
awful hard. If the editor makes a
mistake folks say he ought to be
hung: but if doctor makes any mis-
takes, he burries them and the people
dassent say anything because doctors
can read and write Latin.
When the editor makes mistake
there is lawsuits and swearing and a.
big fuss: but if doctor makes one
Unefe is funeral, cut mowers ana
perfect silence. A doctor can use a
word yard long without him or any
body else knowing what it means,
but if the editor uses one, he has to
spell it. If the doctor goes to see an
other mans wife he charges for the
visit: but if the editor goes he gets a
charge of buckshot. When the doc
tor gets drunk it is a case of being
overcome by the heat, and if. he dies
it's from heart trouble; when the edi-
tor gets drunk it is case of too much
booze, and if he dies it's the 'jim

Interesting Old Find.

In pulling down an old room at BOOK.

names of I'VE master carpenter" and

The More Careful Widower.

In village OF Picardv, after long
sickness, a farmers wife fell into a
lethargy. Her husband was willing.
good man, to believe her out of pain.
and so according to the custom of that
country she was wrapped in a sheet
and carried out to be buried. But, as
luck would have 1t, the bearers car
ried her so near the hedges that the
thorns' pierce1 the sheet and awoke
the woman from her trance. Some
years after she died in reality, and as
the funeral passed along the husband
would every now and then call out:
"Not too near TIE hedge, neighbors!
Not too near the hedge"

Do you eat enough of this

The great benefit in health and strength
that always is enjoyed by regular eaters
of good oatmeal is known the world
over. Every year there are more and
more eaters of Quaker Oats, which is
recognized in this country and in Europe
as the one perfect oatmeal.
All the experiments of the govern
ment food experts and the athletic
trainers of Yale University prove that
cereal eaters are the strongest and
healthiest, and Quaker Oats stands at
the head of the list of cereal foods. 1t is
not only the best food, but it's the cheap
est food on earth. Eat it daily fol
breakfast.
For city trade Quaker Oats is packed
in the regular size packages, but for
those who are not conveniently near
the store for daily shopping the large
size family package is Just the thing.

1t was very evident to those

interest, exchange, shaving of

a result banking is broader and

some bankers who still devote
themselves wholly to selfish aims,

WHEN we were considering
the matter Of coming to Sauk
Centre we were asked by sever
al of our friends, Isn't that
Frank Eddy's town." We be-
lieved that it was. Last Friday
night at the commencement ex-
ercises we knew that it was.
Mr.. Eddy delivered the address
to the class and it was an effort
worthy Of the statesman that he
is. He didn't call a shoe string
a wire cable or a fly net an ele-
phant corral. He told facts.
That the pupils and teachers in
our public schools are being
overworked is not a question but
a fact, was put in plain language
by the speaker and we think the
audience which filled the house
to the doors agreed with him.
The valedictory by his daughter,
Miss Joyce Eddy was a gem as
was the salutatory by Miss Alice
Cass, and both young ladies
were loudly applauded.

During the 36 years since our arrival
here, much good has heen accom-

have been wonderfully benefited and
blessed through the influence of the
church, and very much was accom-
plished during the earlier IA years Of
the existence of the church.
[ notice that among the Thirty per-
sons heretofore mentioned, about two
thirds of them have passed on to the
better land, and the one third left
with US have lived to be three score
years and ten, and they too will soon
follow their brothers and sisters who
have preceded them. Some of Us are
just awaiting the summons to go.

will pardon me, as / have spoken only

more said later in the history Of this
