A DisagreeabIe Pose.

In these days of hyperculture It has
become a pose-mainly among grim
girl graduates from the most austere
temples Of learning-to dislike chill.
dren, and babies in particular.
To the young mother, who adores
the most perfect of all infants to the
point of thrusting 1t before the notice
Of her old chums, this indifference Is
the objectionable sin.
To the fond father, who fairly wor-
ships before his baby's shrine, their
%unbending attitude seems almost a
crime.
A certain concealment of this unnat-
ural aversion to infant humanity were
the more womanly part. to say the
least. A modicum Of federation toward
newcomers into a cold and cruel world
Is demanded by the mot educated"
If the maternal instinct be not r
ent in the "overeducated," let some
semblance Of Christian charity creep
in to take its place.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest. day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years Of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti.

The Artistic Japanese.

Artistic impulses govern even the
ordinary artisan in Japan. This, from
an article in the Craftsman by Mr.. L.
Wakeman Curtis, illustrates the fact:
"In so commercial and nonartisic a
porcelain district as Nagoya | saw a
big room full of men working in clay,
hastily copying in quantities pieces
that were to go, in a shipload, to fill
an order in England. paused be-
side a man who was finishing soap
dishes. On each cover, before it went
to be baked, he was adding the knob
by which it could be lifted. That on
the European model before him was
utterly without sentiment, less gra-
cious of shape than a freshly digged
onion or potato. With a few slight.
quick touches, seemingly as unthink-
ing as a machine, he was yet doing
more than was required-he was caus-
ing each knob as it passed under his
hands to take the look Of half open
ed bud, faint hint of a leaf being
also quickly modelled in the biscuit
beneath it."

that the question was asked in good

Patroness of Music.

The origin of music is lost in an
tiquity. Among civilized people it is
probably to be traced to the ancient
Egyptian priests. who employed this
art in their religious rites and cere-
monies. From the Egyptians the
Greeks and the Romans derived their
knowledge of music. The ancient He
brews probably took with them into
Palestine some Of the songs they had
learned in Egypt The hymns used in
the temple formed the basis Of the
melodies of the early Christian church,
and from these hymns was formulated
the first authoritative musical system.

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses Of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck. which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large. a lit
tie prominent. and the eyelids fine and
thin. The ear should be small and
erect and quick in motion. The lop
ear indicates dullness and stubborn
ness. When too far back there is a
disposition to mischief.

AS TO COUNTY OPTION
BrOweryille Correspondent Talks
With the Herald on This
Question

BROWERVILLE, MINI, Feb.
26-No, dear Herald, 1 do not
agree with you as regards all
that the governor should be re-
quested to do would be to sign a
county option bill, which the leg
islature might see fit to pass.
The facts are, our governor is
lodging the question at issue,
which is a most vital one, and
one 1 think the people of this
state are more interested in than
any other at issue. Our governor,
like Jacobson two years ago, keeps
referring to his past record. Now
a good record is something to be
proud of; but men are continu-
ally changing their records, some
times through honest motives and
sometimes for policy's sake. Now,
the people don't want to bank on
anybody's past record. But what
they do want is men, who are
both honest and fearless and are
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1910-03-03

willing to come out in the open
and say what they do stand for
and will do in case of election.
If county option is the issue,let
the candidate say whether he is
for or against it. We do not want
to have to guess at these matters,
and man who hasn't the cour-
age to take a stand on one side
or the other, is not worthy of the
support of his constituency. No,
We don't want Eberhart, for if he
is on the fence, we do not know
which side he would fall off.
Now, in closing, 1 would like to
ask why the people should be con-
tinually denied the privilege of
voting on this most vital ques-
ton. which they have been so
long clamoring for. If il is right
for the majority to rule, why is
this right denied? My answer
is because the money the liquor
interests put up indirectly over
rules the will of the people. Res
pectfully,
M. E. DIMON.
