Little THOUGHTS.

Grace is easier to acquire than awk-
Wardness.
Practice sitting, standing, and walk
ing in front of your mirror.
Watch other women, and adopt a
good poise of the head, good carriage,

One must learn to be graceful and
charming.

He Was Well Along in Years; Since
His Wife Died He Lived the Life
a Member of London Police Force
and Friend of Late Allan Pinkerton.

Walter Hutton, an gaed resident of
Rapidan, died on his farm there yester
day morning. He had lived there for
ten years, and led the life of a hermit
in some respects. His wife died ten
years ago, and he had no children, but
lived alone on his eighty acre farm and
was comfortably off When he did not
appear to do his chores three weeks
ago neighbors called and found him
sick. They remained with him day and
night, but he gradually failed. His
death was due to kidney trouble
Friend of Pinkerton.
Mr.. Hutton was born in England
and while he never told his age to
anyone it is thought that he was about
eighty five years old. He served on
the London police force for ten or
twelve years, and his beat was next
to that of Allan Pinkerton, who after
wards became one of the most famous
detectives of the present day. The
two would meet at the end of their
beats and visit. Mr.. Pinkerton was
then merely a patrolman, and unknown
70 the world. Mr. Hutton also served
IN the British army for ten years. He
came of good family, and was well
educated and well read.
Was Hunter and Trapper
Coming to America in the fifties, Mr.
Hutton became a hunter and trapper
for ST. Louis fur company, and for
years hunted and trapped throughout
the northwest. Among his most priced
possessions that he left were two
splendid hounds He lived at Winnie.
bago before coming to Blue Earth
county. His only known relatives are
four cousins, Albert Beer of Garden
City, Walter Hutton of Welcome and
two others
Mr.. Hutton was a constant reader
and often said that when he could
read no longer he would not care ia
live He was well posted, and had a
fine memory. The neighbors respected
him, and his death causes regret. The
time for holding the funeral has not

Attorney General Simpsons Opinion o

st. Paul, April l2.-Comenting upon
the opinions advanced in some quarters
that the commission law is defective,
Attorney General Simpson, to whom
the law was sent to be passed upon
as to FORM said while he had not
looked into its constitutional features,
he was positive that it was free from
fatal flaws.
Under an opinion given by this of
flee some months back" said Mr..
Simpson, 81 believe ] stated that cities
of this state enjoying home rule
charter could adopt what is known as
the commission plan of government
without any further legislation. This
bill is all right, but, in my opinion,
it is not necessary"
amy city or town in this state, "
continued Mr.. Simpson, "can adopt a
form of government providing it does
not conflict with the criminal laws of
the state or infringe on the constitu-
ton. Rulings have been made by
cur supreme court on several occasions

ruled cities precedence over the gen
