Two boys had @ixty apples. Each
had thirty. One boy sells his apples
at three for one cent, thereby getting
ten cents. The other sells his apples
at two apples for one cent, thereby
getting fifteen cents. Both will get
twenty-five cents. Now, il both boys
combine their stock and sell their APP
pies at five for two cents they will
only get twenty-four cents. The ques-

get twenty-five cents for their stock
by selling them at five for two cents.

twenty-four cents for the same num-

Song Birds Die From Cold.

Great numbers OF birds migrating
north were caught here by the cold
wave and storm and hundreds died.
There was one flock Of estimated
fifteen hundred cock robins which
alighted on the normal school
grounds and remained here for a
couple Of days. The next most num-
erous bird is the hermit thrush and
also there are few bluebirds. Such
visitation of feathered songsters
has never been seen in Winona be-
fore. Citizens generally provided
them with food, as many of them
seemed to be in starving condition.

Even casual observer cannot have
failed to notice that there is much
false evidence given in our Courts.
The fact is thrust upon ones atten-
tion, mourns the Philadelphia Rec
ord. Not only IN sensational murder
trials, but in almost every civil pro-
ceeding or quasi-judicial investigation
which is of sufficient general interest
to gain publicity, the reported testi-
mony is always contradictory, and
nearly always to such degree AS to
be utterly irreconcilable. There
seems to be little or no regard for the
sanctity of an oath; and yet with this
multiplicity of instances of reckless
or wicked swearing, one rarely hears
a word of reproof from the Bench,
and, to judge from the number Of
prosecutions. perjury would seem to
be the rarest of crimes.

Beauty in woman IS often only a
phrase-a mere courtesy quality as 1t

sense beautiful women are as plenti-

But the real beauty--perfection OF

steyery wondrous attribute in woman
that ever shared Apollo"--is only
seen in one among a million. Such
beauty is power The world cannot
yesist it; such beauty, though the

onward and upward. without other
influence, without brains, even with
out breeding, to fame and wealth
