OBSERVATIONS

The temperance wave Is rolling so
high that 1t is beginning to foam.
Silence is golden. That's the rea-
son there are SO many poor people.
When we get wireless politics we
may be able to do away with polls.
The cable says that English women
have taken to raising chicken. The
hens!
The go-cart trust Is one of the in
FAINT industries that keep pushing to
the front.
The money lenders are the ones
who take the most interest in our
financial system.
The fellow who can see both sides
Of thing Is usually the fellow who
gets on the inside of something good.
Photographers are inclined to be
little facetious with the Merry Widow
hat-but, as a matter of fact, it is
no joke.
A Minnesota jury recently awarded
Hibbing woman s4,75O for stolen
kiss. That jury evidently believes in
the conservation of our natural re-
sources.
| 1t has often been said that you
can't get something for nothing, but
the foreign noblemen CD who marry
American heiresses must be the ex-
ception that proves the rule.
A dispatch says that a man in st.
| L. ID h,,
caught between two moving cars. This
is an important piece of news-if it
proves that the street cars do some
times move.
| A Cincinnati woman sold her body
to medical college in order to get
money enough to buy her wedding
rousseau. If she didn't sell her soul
to get her husband, she is not in
such a bad way at that.
| Telephone companies are having
lots of trouble with eavesdroppers.
Patrons of telephone lines don't
seem to realize that it is just as i'm
polite to listen to a private CONVERSE
tion over a telephone line as to APP
ply an ear to a keyhole.
One way of being remembered is to
leave behind a lot of unpaid accounts.
Two or more is plural. but it is
singular that we speak of man and
wife as one.
The reported inefficiency of the
navy does not seem to have induced
any nation to pick scrap with Uncle
Sam.
A woman in Mexico was recently
sentenced to be silent for six months.
Such cruelty seems like a relic of
barbaric age.
An eastern professor claims that
q PERSONS soul is a part of the
spinal column-which probably &C.
counts for the limpness of the back
bone of some people.
An eccentric Hoosier left as
monument a thousand whisky jugs
which he had emptied. Thank good
ness he has gone to place from
which his spirits are not likely to
return.
In Grand Rapids an ordinance has
been proposed to compel all aldermen
to be married men. That's right. A
man who can use good judgment in
the selection of wife and manage
ment of family will make a good
alderman.
II the temperance wave should hit
the Panama canal it would be liable
to wash the locks away.
Temperance reformers keep things
brewing most OF the time these days.
Count that day lost which you let
pass without subscribing for this
paper.
1t isn't so much what you know as
the use you make of your knowledge
that counts.
A man died in a Duluth jail from
the effects of eating cake of soap
and a newspaper. If this paper had
been the one he consumed he would
today be a useful citizen. Doctors pre-
scribe 1t.
Pretty soon the tariff won't have
any friends left to revise it.
Pretty soon they will be teaching
religion at correspondence schools.
The simplest and plesantest way
to make woman shut her mouth is
to kiss her.
Love may be blind. but sweet
heart can see more in man than
anyone else.
The man who can express himself
emphatically without the use Of pro-
family usually has a pretty good-sized
vocabulary.
