HEARD ABOUT TOWN

The average American citizen is
good deal of ''fan" when it gets the
time of year for baseball to thrive.
Even the clergy are infected with the
microbe of the diamond. Last week
when the High School boys went to
Long Prairie, Dominic Oehler went
along to ''chaperone" the lads. The
Dominie's head deacon, Colonel Nor
ris, referring to the fact, remarked
that he thought the preacher put up
mighty poor excuse. "Why", re-
marked the veteran Great Northern
ticket seller, ''all he wants is to see
the game" Asked if he was going
the Colonel sighed and with fara-
way look in his eyes remarked that
he wasn't. Do you suppose he want
ed to go but couldn't get away?
Speaking of ''fans" what's the mat
ter with Jim Seegers? Jim, the ro-
tund, happy, smiling drummer, who
exudes good nature and good cheer
from every pore of his plump person.
Do you know, Jim would rather see
a base ball game than to eat? They
do say that when he's on the side
lines watching the progress of dia-
mond contest he can go through more
contortions that any fellow who ever
came down the pike. jolly Jim. He's
all right. But the base ball microbes
got him sure.
Sigurd Hjolme brought back with
him from his timber claim i'm north

and a wealth of muscle. His biceps
is as hard as nails and he is fit as a
fiddle. He says it's great wintering

MINNESOTA REPUBuCANISM

MINNESOTA REPUBLlCANISM
When so staunch a party organ
as the Duluth News Tribune ad-
mits that there isn't very much
left of the republican party in
Minnesota, there must be some
cause for it's tale of woe. The
issue of that paper in which the
record of Gov. Johnson's veto of
the tonnage tax appeared con-
tanned an editorial lauding the ex-
ecutive to the skies. The same is
sue admitted that the republican
party in the state was practically
a negligible quantity. The next
issue contained a first page car
toon of &c. o. P" Minnesota
elephant reduced to skin and
bone and scarcely able to stand,
and under it the words: WANT
ed-A Leader"
That's about the condition of
things in Minnesota republican
ism today. And Minnesota re-
publicanism has one but itself
to blame for the predicament in
which it finds itself. Its blind
leaders have deliberately led
blind party into the ditch, de-
spite the protests of thousands
of intelligent and honest voters
in it's own ranks. These self-re-
specting voters swallowed Dave
Clough, they tolerated Bill Mer-
riam, they writhed under the
reign of Van SAINT, and they fin
ally bolted and placed a demo
crat in the governors char, re-
turning him twice to that high
office. Yet the leaders were
blind and deaf.
There was a chance for the re-
publican party to redeem itself
when the 1909 legislature assem-
bled. But the right kind of stuff
wasn't in evidence. 1t is unnec-
essary to rehearse here the fool
ish and unwise tactics adopted
by the republican majority, aid
ed and abetted by number of
self-appointed advisers in the
statehouse and elsewhere. In
stead of circumventing a demo
cratic governor they have simply
played into his hands, and John
A. Johnson stands today far
stronger with the Minnesota vot-
er than he ever. did before. But
what could be expected of leg
islature whose destinies were con-
trolled by men of the caliber of
w. A. Nolan, John Dalzell,
Frank White, John G.. Lennon
and that ilk?
Minnesota republicanism as a
party organization that cuts any
figure has indeed about reached
the vanishing point. There are
a good many thousand honest,
intelligent, thinking voters, who
would like to see it resuscitated.
But in order to put life into the
carcass the present manipulators
must be displaced for those equal
to the task. The party has in
it's ranks capable men, men who
can place it again on it's feet and
pilot it to victory. Will the
bosses let them have control?

AJNE's CHRISTMAS TREE.

Way up on JAMES Christmas
tree hung the 'prettiest gold and
white airship, in which sat a dainty
doll called Ruth, guiding the wheel.
Ruth had just arrived, and was
telling the big dolly in a pink silk
dress all about her travels all the
way down from Santa Claus Land
alone in the airship. Santa had so
much to carry in his reindeer sleigh
that he asked all the dolls who
could to fly the airships and bal
looms down to the earth themselves
to help him out.
Ruth said she had no trouble in
flying her airship, but she told how
funny clown doll, who could wave
his arms and legs when a string
was pulled, came very nearly being
hurt. The string that moved his
arms and legs got caught in the
wheel of the airship, and 1t went
round and round, making him wave
his arms and legs as fast as a wind
mill, till Ruth say him and flew to
his assistance.
He was so tired she helDed him

If there were. then dusky-faced

would not be sending Santa mes

The real truth is that these names
may not be the right ones at all
The dolls thus designated are two
of the famous collection which Mrs

from every quarter of the globe
and which are now on exhibition at

Jonahtta,
Why Jonahtta? Well, don't you
think that is a pretty good name
for a doll wha like the little hero
came from the interior of a
whale? At least if Jonahtta didn't,
her clothes did.
The garments of the Eskimo girl
doll are made from dried mem
brane taken from whale. This
may not seem tempting to an Amer,
lean child, but 1t does not prevent
a little Eskimo from pressing such
a dolly lovingly to her plump lit.

There are many more dolls quite
as wonderful in the Fleischmann
collection. For instance, there is
the Moqui doll, made by the in.
dams of New Mexico. 1t looks like
the man in the iron mask or a grid.

WOMEN'S QUESTIONS

Cynthia Grey

Dear Miss Grey: l find myself
very much in love with young
man. He says he loves me. How
can | find out, without asking him
20 his face, whether he is already
married? JAN.
A.-Why do you suspect him?
low can you both love him and
suspect him? How can he love
you and deceive you? Why not
ell him your fears and ask him to
relieve them by proving his good
intentions? If he can prove them
and If he loves you your trouble
will be ended. If he is'either mar
ried or is deceiving you, the soon
er you find it the better. Don't
talk and think about love as
though it were a plaything. Don't
give it until you are sure it is
worthy and deserved. Don't mis-
take silly sentimentality for love
and don't mistake set of self-irri
tated nerves for broken heart.
Dear Miss Grey: l care a great
deal for young man, but |, fear
he does not care for me. Shall
tell him | care for him?
ANXIOUS.
A.-One of our old writer's says:
"a lover is like a hunter-if the
game be got with too much ease.
he cares not for it,"
Dear Miss Grey: What traits of
hot uy,tn hn
most admire in women? r. d. V.
A.-Your question is an interest
ing one from woman's standpoint,
isn't it? Being a woman, could
not answer it myself, so | have con-
suited several men in whose judg-
ment | have much faith. One says
he admires simplicity and honesty.
Another says he likes a lively,
cheerful girl. Still another admires
simplicsity of character, good com
mon sense and a lively temper. One
man said he married his wife be-
cause he always felt more COM
Portable when with her than he ever

Why Mems Hats HAVE = Bow.

A bow is always to be found on the
left side Of a mans hat This is q sur
vival Of the old days when hats were
costly articles. In order to provide
against the hat being blown away in
stormy weather a cord or ribbon was
fastened around the crown, with ends
hanging 50 that they could be fastened
TO part Of the attire or could be
grasped by the hand. The ends fell on
the left side, Of course, as the left
hand is more often dlsengaged than
the right When not required it was
usual for the ends to be tied in a bow.
The bow became smaller and smaller,
but it still remains and is likely to do
80 as long as men wear hats.
