Brief Truths.

The female bargain hunter knows all
the cOuntersigns.
The married beauty always looks
upon her husband as the beast
No woman wants her offspring to
pose as an object lesson at mothers
meeting.
One of the things man can't un-
derstand is why his enemies seem to
have so many friends.
The smile of good woman will dc
man more good than a dozen handed
to him by bartender.
After a man has been married a
year he can't see any reason why his
wife should want a new hat.
1t sometimes happens that man is
kept from buying mining stock be-
cause he hasn't got the ready cash.
Once in awhile Il man is too proud
to beg and too honest to steal Then
the only alternative he has left is to

Model Rooms Part of Show.

Arrangements have been made to
have several model rooms suitable
for any farm home, placed in the
St. Paul auditorium, where visitors
to the conservation congress can see
the actual material and learn the
cost of furnishing rooms for less
money than ever before. This plan
has been worked out by Margaret
j. Blair of the University Farm
and her associates. They have
agreed to furnish model dining
room and a model living room or
bed room. The walls will be built
in the auditorium, papered or
painted as the case may be, the cur
tains, pictures and decorations as
we'll as the furniture will all be
supplied by Mrs. Blair and she
agrees that she will show how to
save from one third to one half the
average cost of furnishing a room
yet make it look better and be more
comfortable than the average room.
Take the estimate of any furni-
ture dealer and the selection of
most any housewife, and Mrs. Blair
is to furnish her rooms for less
money and make them look better.
Another feature for the women
who visit St. Paul in March will
be an address by Mrs. Blair. When
she speaks, a model room will he
placed around her on the stage.
She will describe the room and tell
how to shop and secure the things
she secures. When she finishes
talking about one room it will be
drawn up from the stage and an
other room, completely furnished.
dropped down. In this way the
thrifty housewife will have an op-
portunity to learn the latest
wrinkles in buying and house-fur-
nishing. The Congress is from
March 16 to 10.

C00ley's UNIQUE Exhibit.

Seventeen varieties of roads will
be built by State Engineer Geo. W.
Cooley this spring. and all them in
stalled in the Auditorium at ST..
Paul. where the Conservation Con-
gress is to be held March Is to 10Th.
Mr.. Cooley is collecting all the
types Of dirt in the state, and the
cellar Of the state capitol is full of
bags which are coming in from all
over the state. The engineer con-
ceived the idea of showing all at
once the various kinds of road max
ing material in the state and sent
requests that the material be
shipped to him in bags. He has
enough to build a race track, but
is to construct a road, each section
of which will be made Of some one
type of this material. Then bins
of road making material will be ar
ranged along the model road way,
showing the material in bulk. For
a little bit of money and some work
under an experienced road buil1e r,
the state engineer claims good roads
possible in all parts of the state,
and he has found some variety in
almost every county in Minnesota.
The Government will furnish the
model machinery for this unique
exhibit, and all the mach ines will
be kept running in the auditorium.

A WRONG PERSPECTIVE. ship.
"You see, honey. an elevated nose is
a good deal like one Of those old fash
toned blunderbusses-it hits a whole
lot of people that you didn't aim at.
and whoever it hits it hurts. Nobody
can tell where it's goin' to strike, and
so they get in the habit Of dodgin'
whenever it comes around. There's a
good many folks you can scold and
abuse and they'll take it good natured
and keep on being friends. but just let
'em get the notion that you're sneerin
at 'em and it's all Off Most all of us
have an idea that we're about as good
as the next one, and nothin' makes us
madden than a turned up nose. and the
greater the difference between us in
wealth or social station the madden we
get about it..
IF you're goin' to get the best there
is out of the world and out of the peo-
pie in it you've got to meet folks on
the level. You g. up to The top Oi d
skyscraper buildin' and look out the
window down at the men and women
in the street below. and they all look
mighty small-nOt more'n half as big
as you are. But when you 60 down in
the elevator and get out on the pave
ment you lind they average up about
the same size as yourself. It's all a
matter of the point of view. and the
turned up nose gives you wrong per-
spective. 1t gives you false notions OF
your own Importance aud your own po~
sition, while everybody else can see
that you're just one of the common
run Of folks and have no right to feel
yourself any better than they are.
