Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Mitchell of Du-
luth we're the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
R.. G. Dunn from Monday evening
until Wednesday evening when they
returned to the Zenith City. Mr..
Mitchell is the editorial writer on the

paper reputation and influence that
it never before possessed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell's visit was purely
social, and the stories in the Twin
City papers to the effect that Mr..
Mitchell came here to discuss political
matters are imaginary. Mr.. Mitchell
is we'll satisfied with his present posi-
tion and he is not begging political
favors. AS matter of fact up
to the time he left Princeton last
evening Mr.. Mitchell was not aware
that any political position had been
rendered him.

Secretary Wilson of the agricul-

procure Russian species of potato
that grows to an extremely large size
and manufacture alcohol from the
product Huron, S. D., Huronite.
Mr.. Wilson means alcohol for
denaturization,. but he will find that
his advice is not readily followed.
Have not his experts, after a year or
more of experimentation, discovered
that it costs more to produce alcohol
from potatoes or other farm produce
than what gasoline can be bought for?
They claim to have made such dis
covery. Then again, the manufacture
of denatured alcohol is surrounded by
too many legal restrictions.

Keeping 1t From the Children.

There was couple who had two
children, a boy of l6 and girl of IA.
About that time of life another baby
came along. With that prudishness
SO commonly found, the parents took
the greatest pains that the children
should not know anything about the
impending event, and when the time
approached the girl was sent on a
vacation to some relatives in another
city AT last the great event took
place, and the father came and said
to the boy: "Johnny, you have a
new baby brother. - The boy said
nothing. The father sat down at his
desk and in a few moments handed
the boy telegram. ''Take that to
the telegraph Office" he said, "and
send it to sister. Here is a dollar to
pay the charges" The boy came back
after a while and handed his father
the change. ''What," said the father,
"that telegram cost more than IS
cents, didn't it?" "Oh, yes" the boy
replied, "the one you wrote would
have cost more 1 sent one of my
own. "You did?" the father said;
''and what did you say?" "Oh,"
the lad replied, II just wired sister:

Edward Mccain, police inspector
of Chicago, has been found guilty of
collecting tribute from illegal resorts
in exchange for protection, or i'm
munity from arrest. Mccain, it
appears from the evidence, has ac-
cumulated a comfortable fortune from
this source. The surprise is that
Mccain should have been arrested,
for it has always been supposed that
in the corrupt city of Chicago the
levying of tribute was policeman's
legitimate perquisite.

How would you like to eat bread
made in some of the Duluth bakeries?
The Herald is authority for the state
ment that health inspectors discovered
dirty dishes, filthy floors and other
deplorable conditions existing in
places where the staff of life is manu-
featured. One woman reported that
she found a chew of tobacco in loaf
of bread. This is trife more nause-
ating than the discovery of pants

NEwsIE LAMBAsTED "DE RUDE,

Little "Czar" Resented Interference of a
Visitor From Anoka.
Frank Falkenberg is known as
'sczar of the newsies.'' Either by
right of discovery or by physical
might Frank, who is l6 years old,
rules over all the newsboys in the
neighborhood of Fifth and Cedar
streets, and those who are unwilling
to admit his sovereignty are
"shown," after which they usually
look for pastures elsewhere.
Late Thursday afternoon Frank was
exacting his daily tribute from his
subjects, when George Gardner, a
farmer from near Anoka, happened
along.
''You're robbin' them kids" said
MIR. Gardner.
"You re liar!" said the car.
When Gardner was carried into
Parker's drug store, across the street,
he moaned that his jaw was broken.
Falkenberg was nursing sore
knuckle and his "Cossacks" were
patting him on the back.
'sDe rube hadn't ought to butted

Two of Gardeners teeth had been
knocked out, but he was not seriously
hurt, and was able to leave the drug
store unassisted. He went out
through the back door.-St. Paul
