Secretary Baeon's Aid.

John Callan OLaughlin, appointed
assistant secretary Of state to succeed
Robert Bacon, now chief of the de-
partment, has been engaged in news
paper work chiefly in Washington, for
more than fifteen years. He has de-
voted much Of his time to diplomatic
affairs and is considered well equip

where it is incontlnently routed by
the twinkle in the Nelsonian eyes.
You take look at the Viking-al
but the whiskers-and you say:
"Gosh, what fierce manW Then
you take another look and mutter to
yourself: swell, guess he amt SO
gosh almighty fierce, at that" Nor
is he. The Honorable Knute is as
gentle viking as ever demanded
economy in the appropriations for all
States except Minnesota.
He is chairman of the Public Lands
Committee in the Senate and has a
wide and comprehensive knowledge
of the public domain, its needs and
the needs of the people who home
stead it. He is just as conservative as
he looks. You never hear the Hon
orable Knute raising his voice for the
mere pleasure of raising it. When
he says anything he has something to
say. Moreover, he is as earnest as
he is serious, which means that he is
earnest faom early morn to dewy eve
and through the Silly watches of the
night. He is squat and square, heavy
shouldered and short necked. When
he gets up you expect to hear some
solid stuff, and you do. ....
Still, the senator is not one of those
stubborn statesmen. He knows the
game of give and take. No man
could remain in Office all the years he
has, even if born in Norway and iv-
ing in Minnesota, unless he was a
diplomatist, and Nelson is just that.
He is acquainted with the wiring in
and wiring out of politics and when
plums fall you will generally find
Senator Knute is at the exact spot
where the fruit is dropped thickest
and ripest, tucking few choice
specimens away il 44:S : jeans.
His spe atty is horse-sense. Oda
as it may seem, there is not so much
horse sense in the Senate that it ia
Ou CdA gov
or what passes for logic-and elo-
quence, and law until you are black
in the face, and interpretations of tie
Constitution that would give John
Marshall the pip, but horse sense is
rare. Thus, when Senator Knute ex-
hibits some of his he gets an audience,
for, as is the way of mankind, even
the person who has not horse sense
thinks he has and hastens, always, to
compare his horse sense exuded by
others, cheering vivaciously for the
sample that is being shown, by way
of making himself think his is just as
good.
Horse sense? r
Just take a look at those jobs he
has held and ask yourself if any otner
kind would have held him all these
years with those skoal folks up North.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Game Of Speculation.

The leader Of this game provides two
packs of cards, one of which is dealt
one by one around the company till all
the pack is dealt The other pack he
keeps in his hand, drawing one card
from it at random, which he conceals
in his pocket.
The players being each further pro-
vided with a saucer containing fifty
beans, the leader rings small bell
and calls out, Speculate" Then for a
time there is confusion, the players
circulating around the room, offering
beans in exchange for certain cards
which the neighbors display. Each
wishes to hold the duplicate of the
card concealed by the leader, though
no one knows which it is.
At q second ringing of the bell the
players are again seated, while the
leader, burning up one card from the
pack in his hand, calls out it's name.
Whoever holds the duplicate must go
forward and lay it upon table pro-
vided for the purpose. After half
dozen or more of the cards have been
thus collected the signal to speculate"
is again given.
Of course the interest increases as
the number of cards held by the play
ers diminishes, and sometimes a play
er will give his last bean for card
which may be called in at the next
ringing of the bell.
After repeated speculations and call
ings in one card alone remains-the
duplicate of that concealed in the
pocket of the leader. The fortunate
holder of this wins a prize, as also
does the possessor Of the greatest num-
her of beans

Won't Eat Their Relatives.

The thick forest along the banks of
the Semliki, in eastern Africa, is
densely inhabited by pygmies. They
are cannibals and when pressed for
food exchange their children for those
Of other families They refuse to eat
members of their own families. At
the southern end Of the frontier of the
Kongo Independent State there are
people who owe allegiance to no
chiefs, each family owning its own
village and recognizing no head. The

has the Nelson habit, and far be it
from Knute to break it.

nAuUC " UICdh lUs
Very few of our statesmen have
pus he'd the clouds away so often and
SO successfully as Knute. If you think
he does not know the exact value of
being a Scandinavian in Minnesota,
please forget it, for he does, Also, if
you think he is not a politician from
the ends of his stubby toes to the top
of his square head, please forget that,
for he is. Moreover, do not entertain
any doubts about his ability, his in
tegrity, his resourcefulness, his rank
as a Senator and his strength at
home.
Knute Nelson is a sort of trade
mark for Minnesota. Statesmen come
and statesmen go from that fine
North State, but Nelson goes on for
ever. To be sure! They can't stop
him!
You see, the Scandinavians hang to-
gether. You may talk about other
nationalities in our body polite being
clannish, but they are mere morgan
lied crowds when it comes to COM
paring them to the big. blond fellows
who have played SO important a part
in the upbuilding of the Northwest.

French Blind Mans Buff.

The players form a ring, hand In
hand, and the blind man stands in the
middle, holding a stick or cane. The
players dance around him till he raps
on the floor. when they all stand per-
fectly still and silent. Then he holds
out the cane, and the one toward
whom ii points must grasp the end.
The blind man then asks any three
questions he pleases. all of which must
be answered in changed voice. The
blind man must guess who is talking.
II he is right the two change places,
but If he is wrong the players dance
about him again and the game goes on

any of its neighboring schools
this season.
Friday was also a notable dav

strong, presented themselves
about ten O'Clock and owing to
their kindness and business-like
manner, Old Glory is floating to

able place in the school honse.
Mr.. F. w. Walters, d member of
the order, also a patron of the
school, presented the flag and
Bible to the school in Il most
pleasant manner. The flag was
hoisted by Miss Mollie Floyd, a
student Of the school, amid the
cheers of her companions, while
the Juniors impressively sang

the lunch baskets were opened
and all enjoyed a dinner which
was given by the patrons of the
school. Another feature of the
day was an address given by
Prof Poole. of Lumberton, which
took place in the forenoon. He
was quite happy in his remarks
and the crowd enjoyed having
him immensely. We hope he
will make us another visit some
future day.
