no such distinctions. 1t aims at gambling itself
In the present law the attempt was made 10

simple betting between friends. and, construed
narrowly, as criminal statutes are it appears 70

the name of friendly betting.
As the situation now stands al the tracks, it is
apparent that there is a considerable practical

Anoka, Free-Press: The papers

of the life of an iowa girl sHel

trying to earn her livelihood and
secure an education at the same time.
It was her ambition to stand at the
head of her class at the st. Louis

have graduated with honors but she
left school Saturday a nervous wreck
and Monday was started for an
asylum. On the way she killed her.

This IS an extreme case but it is
also an indication of the point toward
which our mad race for earning is
taking us. Children's brains are
crammed with facts. figures and
tictions and they are crowded from
grade to grade faster than their
mental and physical development
should permit. They reach the high
schools while yet IN knee trousers ana,
diploma in hand, are hurried to the
state university while yet too young
to grasp the meaning of a high
education and to reap to the fullest
extent the benefits of it.
1t is brain examining that Is strew-
ing the highway to an education with
useless wrecks And the pity of 1t is
that the pace is.keener every year.

FURLONG AND THE STATE FAIR.
Albert Lea Standard. The Red


Albert Lea Standard: The Red
Lake Falls Gazette learns there is "a
scheme on foot to make the state fair
association political machine, and says
as the first step to that end it is pro.
posed to elect John J. FurIong presi-
dent. Mr.. Fullong is the friend OF
Tawney and standpatism, and as dis
penser of the vast patronage and favora
OF the fair would be great assistance
to his political friends and at the same
time bring the fair into disrepute -
The friends of the state fair should be
on guard. Furlong's shameless ex.
ercise of his "pull in giving fat
berths to seventy COY Mower county
men at the last state fair, his charging
and collecting livery bills when he
used his own team in going to and
from his farm to the railroad station
and other like doings, and his lack of
fitness otherwise for the important
position, should arouse all concerned
in the high repute and success of the
state fair to be alert and see to it
that he is defeated in his bold and
scnsming ambition. The fact of his
prostitutlng the state fair to-, his
political schemes, thereby involving
it in the demoralizing contention of
politics should alone be sufficient to
wholly eliminate Furlong from all
further influence and official connec-
ton with its management. =.

| captivity. Just across the lake in the
snow enveloped village Of Oriskany, as
he knew perfectly we'll, a certain young
woman for whose good opinion he
would have risked anything capable of
being rfsked was trying to convince
herseIf-au against her better judy

to ideal heroes he might circumvent
the evident design Of fate to prevent
him from keeping his engagement and
make his appearance at about the hour
fixed in his letter of acceptance Of her
invitation to spend the Christmas holi-
days in Oriskany.
He had pictured it all so infinitely.
She would be at the station to meet
him, and together they would walk
leisurely to her fathers house. That
house would be agleam with lights. and
holly wreaths would hang in every
window. Of course. there would be

gestive squirt of his left eye
Fearing did not stop to go into the
moral consideration of the situation.
The prospect of getting to Oriskany
was too attractive for that. His ca
gerness to accept the proposition was
SO great that he could hardly wait I'M
til the youthful originator of the
scheme was ready to put it into execu-
ton. Toward nightfall the precious
pair made their way through the drifts
to the boatbouse, and half an hour later
the rak1sh looking craft was ready for
business.
AS the landlords son had predicted,
the frozen surface Of the lake was as
free from snow as If it had been swept.
The force of the wind had also lessen
ed greatly, but enough remained to
make the voyage daring venture It
was ticklish business to put on full
sail in such breeze, but Fearing
would be satisfied with nothing less.

speeding at rate that would have
made a bird envious.
Luckily there was nothing to oppose
its progress. The ice was in prime
condition and as smooth as crystal.
All the intrepid navigators had to do
was to keep the craft III position and
hang on for dear life. Fearing was
sport enough to enjoy the risky busi-

remember the financial end of the
matter The seventeen miles and
half were traversed with speed that
must have made new record in ice

too soon the lights of Oriskany adj
monished them that 1t was time to
lower the canvas and make ready the

once again on terra frma, the yachts

that rose like a fertilization along the
