onny will cause him any trouble. AS
the shooting was accidental, Mr..
Humphrey thinks he should not be
too severely censured. but neverthe-
less the blame attaches to him and
he must bear it.
An exchange prints story of a
man who was invited to go to Chica-
go and take in the zoo. When the
invitation was put to him he replied:
No thank you. I'll stay at home.
My oldest daughter does the kanga-
roo walk, my second laughter talks
like parrot, my son laughs like a
hyena, my wife watches me like a
hawk, my cook is as cross as bear,
and my mother-in-law says I'm an
old gorilla. When 60 anywhere |
want a change" That man does
not live here.
Granite Falls Journal: Four
members of the Minnesota Valley
Improvement company. headed by
Mr.. Kaercher, were in town yester-
day looking oyer the situation. At
meeting of the Minnesota Falls
Power and Electric Co., held at
Montevideo yesterday afternoon they
expected to secure an option for one
year on the Minnesota Falls dam and
power plant. 1t was also stated
they expect to secure from this city
an option on its water power here.
Springfield Advance: Recently a
couple of fishermen had an exciting
experience in Louis Lehne's pasture
with bull. The herd of cattle was
grazing near where the nimrods
were fishing and in attempting to
drive the stock away the bull turned
on them and caused them to make a
lively scramble for safety. The bull
is generally considered gentle. but
apparently resented the attack.
which causes Mr.. Lehne to sound
the warning that he will in no wise
be held responsible for the actions
of the animal, hence those who in
sist on going into his pasture will
govern themselves accordingly.
Window Citizen: The telephone
war goes merrily on. Last Friday
night both the Tri-State and the
Northwestern representatives at
tended meeting in the Paulson dis
trict north of Window, and if ac-
counts are true considerable rivalry
was shown. Reports are so varying
that we will not attempt to state
which are true. but the indications
are that the Northwestern came out
a little ahead. The Northwestern
claims to have the territory south,
west and north Of Window contract
ed, and are now at work east of
town. About forty business houses
in Window have agreed to put in the
Northwestern phone as a result of
the farmers having tied up to that
company. Whether the two systems
will continue to be operated in Win
dom, time alone can tell.
A California minister has a. new
faith since editing a newspaper for
a week in the absence of the editor.
In closing the forms to go to press
he wrote: my time is now almost
up as pen this last line; my hand is
almost paralized; my brain is befud-
died, and am free to confess that
am right glad to vacate this holy
spot. Such rash and riot and disar-
ray. Such tumble and potpourri.
1t strikes me as the daily effort to
bring order out Of chaos. and to do
it lightningly quick. am reminded
of the memorable words: 1.-THE
earth was without form and void,
and darkness was upon the face of
the deep, and the spirit moved upon
the face Of the waters" Never
shall | criticize newspaper men more.
II shall pray for them. They will
have my hearts forebearance hence
forth and forever, the hardest
worked. short lived. poorest paid
brain workers on this weary ole
world of ours. &C Candy News.
