Clerk or 6rickiaver7

"You often hear clerks say they would
rather be bricklayers on account of the
pay, but they don't know what they're
talking about. Clerking beats brick
laying every day in the week and
twice on Sunday
He took another cheese sandwich in
his long, pale, ink stained fingers and
perched on the lunch counters high
stool, detained warmly:
CLERKS, however poor, are popular
with the ladies on account of their fine
clothes, but bricklayers, when they 20
sparkling, get the cold shoulder.
"a bricklayer, no matter how much
he makes, has trouble in getting into
swell boarding houses, for his clothes
soil the fine furniture, but clerk, with
his white hands, Is welcome in any
house he can afford.
II know what I'm talking about, for
bricklafd two years before I took to
clerking. And you'll find lots of young
bricklayers forsaking the trowel for
the pen; but, though clerks often say
bitterly that they'd rather lay bricks
than push a pen, they don't really
mean 1t-they never turn

How Prisoners Converse.

A man who was sent to Jail recently

lions taken to prevent the prisoners
engaging in conversation. There SEEM

one was allowed to utter word.
On the Sunday he was in the church
the psalm given was the 'Old Hun

birds, and instead of the orthodox
words beginning Cali people that on
earth do dwelp' this pair sang a hymn
Of their own in conversational style,
which went something as follows:
First convict sings: e.

Sing low or else they'll maybe hear"
Second convict replies:

Boston's English.

"1f I were asked to name the city
of these United States where the pur-
est English is now spoken" said Otis
Skinner. the actor, II should unhesi-
tatingly pronounce in favor of Boston.
The clarity of speech there is not con-
fined to people Of wealth and culture,
but extends to the working classes,
the toilers and persons in all stations
Of life. I do not say that this excel
lence in articulation and this admira-
bic pronunciation can be found all over
New England. Corruption Of speech
begins not many miles from Boston,
and the distressing nasal twang is diff
fcult to escape. In Philadelphia a
peculiar burr that is distinctly provin-
cial prevails. From Pittsburg to other
sections of the middle west this burr
assumes more or less exasperating
fOrms.''

Albert Lea Standard: That the
country at large, the great honest
masses of people, and especially those
who voted for and elected Mr.. Taft
president because Mr.. Roosevelt
vouched for him and demanded his
election to carry out his policies, are
disappointed and seriously so, IS
evident. The course of President Taft
and that of his cabinet officers thus
far has been so contrary to the
pervlous progressive administration,
it has been so strlklngly reactionary
and such a reversal and overthrow OF
the Roosevelt reforms that the country
is not only disappointed, but it is
almost benumbed and heartslck with
the prospect of what IS to come in the
next four years. Plutocracy, the
trusts and the tariff ba1ons are in the
saddle and as republican senator has
said, Taft is pan of dough"-he is
easy he let's the lords of the
plunderbund have almost everything
they want. The country faces the
tremendous fact that Teddy Roosevelt
is not president alas. neither is
William J. Bryan.

"The Dog Of. Montarois.

Animal actors are by no means new
to the stage. There are On record in
stances where a four legged performer
has made the greatest success in a
play, drawing hundreds Of people night
after night by the magnetism of his
taartfculate art. In 1914 ''The Dog of
Montargis" was produced at Covent
Garden theater, London. It was writ
ten around true incident in which a
man was murdered in the forest of
Bondy and the murderer tracked by
means Of his dog. One day this dog
suddenly sprang at the throat of
man and almost killed him, whereupon
the wretch, terror struck, confessed
that he was the murderer. This dra-
matte incident formed the basis Of the
play, and everything depended upon
the cleverness of the dog. He was
called Dragon, aud his acting was so
marvellous that the play achieved a re-
markable success. running for thirty
nine performances.

staunch q party organ as the Duluth
News Tribune admits that there
ism Z very much left of the republican
party in Minnesota. there must be
some cause for its tale of woe. The
ISSUE of that paper in which the record
of Governor Johnson's veto of the
tonnage tax appeared contained an
editorial lauding the executive to the
skies. The same issue admitted that
the republican party IN the state was
practically negligible quantity. The
next issue contained atirst page cartoon
of a ''G, q. P" Minnesota elephant
reduced to skin and bone and scarcely
able to stand, and under it the words ::
8 Wanted-A Leader
That's about the condition of things
IN Minnesota republicanlsm today.
And Minnesota republicanism has no
one but itself to blame for the predlca-
ment IN which it finds itself Its blind
leaders have deliberately led blind
party into the ditch, despite the pro-
tests of thousands of intelligent and
honest voters IN Its own ranks These
salt. respecting voters swallowed Dave
Clough, they tolerated Bill Merriam,
they writhed under the reign of Van
SAINT, and they finally bolted and
placed a democrat in the governors
chair, returning HIM twice to that
high Office. Yet the leaders were
blind and deaf.
There was chance for the re-
publican party to redeem itself when
the 1909 legislature assembled. But
the right kind of stuff wasn't in
evidence. 1t is unnecessary to
rehearse here the foolish and unwise
tactics adopted by the republican
majority. aided and abetted by a
number of self appointed advisers in
the statehouse and elsewhere. Instead
of circumventing democratic
governor they have simply played into
his hands, and John A. johnson stands
today far stronger with the Minnesota
voter than he ever did before.
Minnesota republicanism as a party
that cuts any figure has
indeed about reached the vanishing
point. There are good many
thousand honest, intelligent, thinking
voters, who would like to see it
resustleated. But in order to put life
into the carcass the pres n
manipulators must be. displaced for
those equal to the task. The party
has In Its ranks capable men. men
who can place it again on its feet and
pilot it to victory. Will the bosses let
