GREAT BLOCKGDING STORM.
Nothing Equal to 1t in Quarter of Century
Is the Opinion of Many.

While the first half of last week pro-
vided ideal April weather, with the fin
al half came the severest blockading
blizzard experienced in this section for
years. according to many for quarter
century. Rain commenced falling Thurs
day afternoon. With night came sleet
and snow. Friday morning found 1.-THE
beautiful, still descending to a liberal
degree. About noon the wind veered
and hastily brought frigid blasts from
the west and piled the snow into i'm
passable drifts. This was kept up for
fully twelve hours, resulting in every
body finding themselves pretty well
penned up Saturday morning.
Railways and all public highways
were completely blockaded and tele-
graph and telephone wires broken down,
the result being that for two days we
were practically isolated from the out
side world. But Mineral Point was not
alone in this. Every city, town and ham,
let throughout large scope of country
experienced a similar fate.
Luckily there was little suffering by
man or beast so far as known.

Let,s Eat we.ds.

In view of the presnt prices of food products and the outlook for the fur ture, it may be some comfort to the American citizen to know that several of the most common weeds are good for table use. Wild chicorysis bitterly hated by the farmer. but 1t will make a delightful salad, tender and whole some. The virtues of the dandelion in this respect are now well known. Wild mustard, or scharIock, another bane of the farmer. gives delicious flavor to soup, as will pokeweed, which in France is cultivated as a vegetable, taking the place of bay leaves, sage, thyme and the like Dock weeds are astonishingly hard to dis courage, so in, Europe they use both varieties as table vegetables. Kettles are much used in Scotland, Poland and Germany as greens when young and tender. Purslain is boiled with other vegetables to give the dish a piquant flavor Sorrel is looked upon as a great pest by most farmers, but choice leaves picked from sorrel weeds" make splnedid salad for game din- ner Most people think milkweed poi sonous, but it is, in fact, medicinal vegetable with a flavor all its own The young leaves seem a cross be- tween spinach and asparagus, and in salad are delieious.-H Harpers Week ly.

A Lost Standard Recovered

This Is a flag which was presented to the First company or the Governors Horse Guard in lS02. It is fairly well preserved and bears in the field the state coat or arms, around which are cfrcled the stars indicating the thirteen original states, though at that time they had been increased by the admission of Vermont. Kentucky and Tennessee. Even at that date the troop which re- celVed 1t had age and a history and the restored standard will be draped in the guards new quarters a the ar- mory. Tor this military organiza ton IS still in existence and flourishfng As its name indicates. it's special junction was to perform escort duty for the executive. but of late years we have rather been falling away from the formal practices which made such a uuty necessary. and it's work has taken on a more up to date character similar to that of the national euard organizations. The troop is uniformed and equipped in modern cavalry fash ion, but it will be pardoned for cher ishing it's historic past and pointing to its accumulated relics as reminder of the time when in colonial Connec- ticut, as in England. there were the kindred organizations of "The Guards" and The Line"

School Lunches.

According to report in The Star last evening, the problem of lunches for school children may be solved by the public schools themselves. It would be creditable achievement The school chiid's lunch has been pro- ductive of much perplexity on the part of parents and school authorities and of some disturbance and indigestion in the children themselves The Arm strong manual training school is con ducting cooperative lunch The experiment was begun two weeks ago and thus far has been successful, and it's promoters aver that even when the novelty of the enterprise shall have worn away the cooperative school lunch will continue popular The Stars report says of the under taking that, although the object is nor to make profit. the zealous girls be- hind the movement have already clear ed $11, and everyone knows that in school days that sum is a fortune. It has been invested in equipment bowls, cups. spoons and other familiar utensils. It was the girls of the cook ing classes who started this lunch, and these members of the student body are not only preserving their school mates from the illogical luncheon so much affected by young pupils. but are enlarging their own experience in the purchase. preparation and service of Star

Tine Law,s DsIay..

Chief Justice Farmer of the Illinois supreme court speaks of "the laws de- lays as "a supposed grievance. more imaginary than real" That is not President Taft's view of the matter, as set forth in his Chicago speech. It is not that taken by those who have be- gun suits in the Cook county circuit or superior courts.
 The chief justice admits that there have been instances of "papable and unreasonable delay" but he contends that there have been thousands of cases which have met with prompt att tention at the hands of, the courts. But he could not say that it was in Cook county those cases originated unless he were to include among them those which have come before the municipal court.
 In that court a, suitor can get a prompt hearing, because of the suit able methods of procedure there. If those methods were introduced in the other courts the complaints of the laws delays would be largely hushed. Therefore the supreme court should employ whatever influence it has to simplify, modernize and humanize the modes of conducting business in the circuit and superior courts.
 There is no good reason why a suit begun in one of those courts should not be brought to trial as speedily and ended as quickly as if begun in an English court. That is all which those who have to do with American state or federal courts ask for. They will con tfnue to complain until they get it. Until then they will be confident that they have a just grievance. Not all the assurances of judges will make them believe it is imaginary.-Chicago Tribune.

Take Care Of the Boy.

There is nothing in the world so we'll worth looking after as the boy and there is no being in the world so neglected as the boy There Is scant room for him. We chaperon our girls --and not too carefully--but we leave the boy to choose his associates and his environments with much advice and very little guidance. Girls are naturally gentle and companionable. most of them. at least, and they win their way to and are welcome in all homes, but we do not know of many homes where boys are invited. About the only doors that swing with sure welcome for him, about the only chair that is placed near the fire for him. about the only sport where he is sure of a cordial greeting. is where you do not desire him to go. It is one of the hardest things in the world to get hold of boy-to get a sure grip on him. You think you know something about him. but perhaps that some thing is very little. and very likely ne knows more about you sthan you do about him. What he needs and what he will have is companioship. We must see that 1t is wholesome: healthy. helpful companionship which nolds the boy up to his best.-Catho- lie Record

MT. eOmprs ct al. in contempt.

It was reasonable to expect that the court of appeals should uphold the decree or the supreme court of the District of Columbia which pronounce ed MT. Gompers Mir. Morrison and MT. Mitchell in contempt. in that they were responsible for printed utter ance of a nature formally forbidden and which they knew was forbidden The president of the American Federa- ton of Labor, since he returned from Europe recently. has sought to em- pnasize his position before the pubIic as martyr in the cause of free speech. But 1t Is difficult for A non partisan intelligence to accept his view that the right of free speech is as- sailed in the finding of the court. In deed, 1t appears that Mr. Gompers himself originally doubted the strength or his position. since the publication which constituted te contempt was ar- ranged with the apparent purpose of technically avoiding full responsibi- ity. At all events. if the right of free speech is to be vigorously upheld. it VIII occur to many persons that the deliberate mandate of court is also entitled to some measure of respect.- providence Journal

Caucasian Handicap lin the Far Eas.


 The Europe Asia trade was origin ally built up by the Portuguese and the Spaniards solely by gubernatorial spoon feeding; and it was not tin the advent on the field of the British and the Dutch that this system gradually lapsed into obIiyion.s The Japanese government with their usual perspi- icacity, have digested the lesson his- tory had to tell, and have therefrom evolved a combination comprising all the best features of the ancient and modern systems; thereby throwing on other interested sovereign states the alternative of either following suit. in financing and supporting their na- tionals, or of permitting those nation ais a much larger amount of individ- ual discretion andd freedom from the trammels of diplomatic red tape. 4 Another serious handicap under which Caucasian merchants are at present working in the far east is the notoriously glaring disparity of firm ness exercised by consular courts in often involving heavy sums. when Caucasian or an Asiatic respectively happens to be the plaintiff

McCIeIIan's Record.

Someone asked him how Tammany would be able to get along for four years with opportunities for patronage reduced to minimum. We're just after passing through four such years,' replied Murphy with another grin. He left it to be inferred that things could not be much worse for Tammany under Gaynor than they had been under the present admins tration.-New York Evening Post
 It seems to be about time for vari- ous Independents and so-called re- formers in New York to apologize to Mayor Mcclellan. who has been con- stantly taunted despite his many serv- ices to the city, with subserviency to the Tammany boss. Even his con spicuously excellent appointments have been received with sort of sullen reluctance of approval and the slight est error of judgment has been seized upon and advertised as a crime Is there any chance that any mayor could satisfy such carping critics as these ?-Providence Journal.

IIIeoaI Elections.

New Hartford and Litehfield have had peculiar experience and have taught other towns the necessity of carefully observing all legal require ments when issuing calls for town meetings. In both of these towns the recent vote on the license question is declared void by the courts. This is because the call for the annual meeting was published only four days before election day instead of the necessary five days. This means that the status of the towns concerned before the elec- tion continues another year, and la each case the vote in November is re- versed. Litchteld changed from wet to dry. and therefore remains wet. New Hartford was dry and voted to return to the irrigated era, but must continue arid. Thus the balance is maintained.
 It seems odd that no one has been interested enough to raise the question of legality for the entire election in these towns. Leading lawyers say that if the vote on the license issue is illegal all the voting must have been, and therefore there was no election But the probability Is the officials elected will be permitted to serve. Their title is good unless contested.

Ranqs Aaain.

Although much protest was made last winter about the reappearance of the bang" across the forehead. it seems to be rather firmly entrenched now
 The majority of women will wear it this winter. In large measure it will be becoming. It will compel women to lift from their foreheads the low hanging mass of hair now the fash ion and substitute it with a tiny wavy fringe.
 It is absurd to cut the hair to make this bang. One can buy it by the piece in any hair shop and attach it under ones own hair by an invisible hairpin.
 One should be extra careful not to get it thick or straight.
 The poodle bang. once so fashion ionable in the sos of the nineteenth century, also promises to return. It has already done so in Paris. but there it, like the wavy fringe, only accom- panies the flattened pOmpadour.
 Both of these have been introduced to give softness to a forehead from which the hair has been lifted.
