patter in declining the democratic
nomination for governor. Those pa
pers and politicians who kept saying
all the time that he would change his
mind and finally accept the proffered
honor, will now have to revise their
estimate OF Mr. Lind's character. He
has proved himself to be man of his

of the people of Minnesota, regardless
of politics, Mr.. Lind has raised him
self UNNECESSARILY, by remaining true
to the declaration he made some

That the automobile is becomin

That the automobile is becoming
more and more a factor in the devel-
opment and progress of rural COM
munities is very evident. Since the
advent of the automobile more deter
mined efforts have been made to i'm
prove the country roads and to keep
them in repairs. In some places the
automobile is used for drawing the
split log drag and it has been found
that in that way long stretch of road
can be easily kept in first class con-
dition. A beginning has also been
made in the use of the automobile TO,
conveying children to and from school
in the country districts. A good au
tomobile or two can gather up the
children in a large territory in an
hours time in the morning, if the
roads are good. Really there is /
bigger field of usefulness for the .au
tomobile in the country than in the
city.

cord as county attorney of Marshall

complete. Mr.. Brown is not in the
political race this year, but his law
partner, A. N. Eckstrom is fighting it
out with E. A. Brekke for the nomina-
ton. The Banner has been trying to
hurt Mr.. Eckstrom's cause by going
after Brown. Mr.. Brown has deposi-
ted $500 with the First National Bank
of Warren, and is putting the PROPOSE
ton up to the Banner that if they can
disprove any of the statements that he
makes in his letter, the proofs to be
submitted to Judges Watts or Grinde-
land he will donate the $500 to any
charity they may designate. The
Banner of last week was hot all over

to stay that way for a long while, or
until it has reformed some of the ''po-
litical crooks?' in it's sister town. Yes,

EASY pARNINe STITCH

An easy and effective stitch for
quickly covering the surface of hucka-
back is worked in two colors Of thread
and resembles the we'll known honey
comb stitch.
1t is worked lengthwise of the ma
terial along alternate rows. If the sur
face is to be covered in black and
white the black thread is started on the
left-hand row. taken through one or
two of the stitches of material, carried
over to the right-hand row, on the tier
below the first stitch the needle is
again put under and carried back to
the left-hand row, where another stitch
is taken and thread carried over again
to right.
This is repeated until the length of
surface has been covered. The white
thread is then started on the right
hand row opposite the start of black
thread and the same stitchery is re-
peated, reversing the direction.
Care must be taken to run thread al
ways in same direction in crossing,
that is, not one time over and again
under the first curving line.
The stitch when finished looks like a
series of crossed scrolls over the whole
surface. 1t can be varied by increasing
lH0 Wlulu apart VI rOWS anu the Huul-
ber of threads taken up. The one es-
sential is to keep the spacing even.
Three or four rows of this stitch run
side by side or with a narrow inter
vening space make an effective border
for curtains of coarse scrim or thin
canvas weaves. Three or four colors
combined with white or black in each
row give an almost oriental coloring if
the shades are skilfully handled.
In black and white, brown and ecru,
or green and blue this stitch makes
smart vesting for women as well as
men.

THE WoMAN's SPHERE

A certain woman remarked the other
day. in a newspaper or magazine, that
she resented the idea that women were
created to bring children into the
world and to care for them. She fur
ther said that women were worthy of
something higher and nobler. If it
can be shown that there is anything
higher and nobler" on this earth than
the rearing of a child so that it may
become an honorable and honored Cit
izen 1 should like to know it.
The truth of the matter is, most
women are only in the kindergarten
class as mothers, and they do not un-
derstand their responsibilities or their
privileges as the creators and conserv-
ators of the race
When women learn that motherhood
is not only a sacred calling but a
science and that it takes the highest
education and finest character to fit
one for 1t, they will then begin to
realize the mistake they are making
in either evading the responsibility al
together or in trying to shift the care
of their children onto others.
OF course, 1t takes patience, but is
not that one of the noblest character
istics one can acquire? For true char
acter building there is nothing to equal
raising a family of sturdy boys and
girls, whose unconscious rebukes so
often bring the blush of shame to our
cheeks.
The imitation that is the truest fiat
terry is often very uncomfortable when
we realize that the faults we correct
in them are really our own and should
be corrected there first.

Little Bessie Crammer, the juvenile
violinist of the De Chauvenet Conserva-
tory of Music, whose rapid progress is
due to the personal instruction of Mr..
Karl Prochnow of the violin depart
ment, is creating much favorable COM
ment concerning her work. This lit
tie violinist is but 9 years of age and
has studied less than a year, but has
appeared very creditably in numerous
conservatory recitals and also in out
side entertainments. Child-like sim
plicity and ease of manner and of
performance are the pleasing charac-
teristics which delight her hearers.
One of the main features of the con-
servatory is the pupils orchestra,
where all pupils studying orchestral
instruments may join. The object of
the orchestra is to give all players of
orchestral instruments the experience
necessary.
Anyone desiring to join the orchestra
may do so, whether he or she is pu-
pill of the conservatory or not. There is
no admission fee, as the orchestra is en-
tirely maintained by the conservatory.

FURs FOR HATS

Fur for the covering as well as for
the trimming of hats will be used quite
generally, and as the hats are larger
this season the lightweight furs are in
demand. Some of the new fur hats
are really lighter in weight than are
some of those made of velvet. The fur
riers have prepared for the great de-
mand and offer a wide variety of rare
furs, so that women will be able to
crafty their taste in any of the rare
skins. Broadtail and chinchilla have
advanced in price, which puts those
two materials out of reach of all except
those who can spend money without
thought of economy. Ernine is also
higher in price than for several seasons
and many women are selecting the
white weasel furs instead. Seal will be
used a great deal for picture hats, auto
bonnets and skating hats. The fiat
caracul and the moire astrachan in
black are much used for the tops of
turbans. Gray furs bid fair to be very
popular as hat trimmings, and some of
the handsomest turbans are made en-
tirely of the Russian pony skin. Mink
lis popular for auto bonnets and for
trimming bands. Bands of fur will be
used very largely in combination with
velvet Irish lace and gold embroidery.

LoNe-suFFERlNe PATIENCE

"I get mighty tired of reading of
those wonderful rewards that come to
the patient woman" writes a sub
scriber. 81 find it is the woman who
is not patient who gets what she de-
serves and perhaps little more"
This is in a measure true. 1t is the
people who make things disagreeable
for us that we try to placate.
If mother is impatient the children
will be more than careful not to worry
her, and the wife that will make
things uncomfortable for hubby If she
does not have her way usually gets it.
Patience does not really loom so
large as a virtue as we have been
taught. There is no particular reason
why one should be patient with a
selfish. self-centered person, who in
sists that the world must be run for
her benefit. 1t would probably do her
good to realize that she must consider
others.
One must not confuse patience with
consideration. To have consideration
mesns that you are just, that you will
give to every one his due and will not
arrogate to yourself ALI the attention
and thought and care of every one
about you.
Patience means meekly accepting all
sorts of uncomfortable circumstances
rather than hurt the feelings of some
very thoughtleSs, selflsh person VINO
should be taught better.
That biblical promise, blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth," may mean a nice round lump
of mud in the neck for all you know.
The meek man who has inherited a
farm-a gold mine-a lumber forest
or an acre or two of land in the heart
of New York or Chicago, simply be-
cause he is meek, has not sent in his
name to the newspapers as yet.
1t would seem as though the sue
cessfuI woman of today should try
and eliminate patience from her list
of virtues and put into it's place con-
sideration.
Consideration for others is a splen-
did qualification. Patience with sell
fishness and whim SC silly.

NOVEL EucHRE PARTY

The diversion that proved most sue
cessful at a popular summer hotel was
lone-hand euchre with prizes.
This was six-handed euchre played
progressively, but with prizes offered
for the greatest number of lone hands,
as we'll as for the largest number or
points won by any player.
At all the tables lone hands were, of
course, a recognized feature, the head
table, which played twenty-one points,
governing the game.
Score cards in the shape of Maltese
crosses were cut from pink-tinted
cardboard. In the four points of the
cross the numbers 10, 4, 1 and were
written, beginning with 10 at the top
and numbering to the right.
These numbers were punched to rep
resent the number of points due to
the player. Thus, for fifteen points,
10 and were punched once each, for
twenty, 10 was punched twice
Narrow ribbon drawn through the
tally at the top enabled the player to
attach it to the front of coat or gown
Whenever a lone hand was won the
successful player spoke to the scorer
and received a bouquet of pink sweet
peas tied with white ribbon. At the
end of the progression the person hav-
ing most bouquets received what was
called "the lone-hand prize"
In this way the best player was
doubly rewarded with flowers and a
prize.
Another award in the form of a pink
fan was made for the greatest number
of points won by any player.

FURTHER CENSUS REVELATIONS

The most surprising revelation thus
far afforded by the new population
figures is the srowth of Detroit dur
ing the last decade. The expansion
of Oklahoma City from 10000 to
$4,000 inhabitants Is, of course, Won
derful, but new western towns in their
early years have frequently done as
well or even better. 1t is unusual,
howver, to see one of our older cities
in a well-nigh filled up state gain over
so per cent in ten years. Detroit and
Milwaukee, it's neighbor in the next
state, have both surprised themselves.
An official estimate from both cities
in the World Almanac for the pres
ent year placed Milwaukee's total at
$4,000 and Detroit's at 100000. The
Washington figures give Milwaukee's s
population at S73,S57, a gain of 81
per cent, and Detroit 465,766, an in
crease of 63 per cent. Milwaukee steps
ahead of Cincinnati, and the New
Orleans figures will probably show
that it has also fallen behind the Wis
consin metropolis. Detroit has un-
questionably passed New Orleans and
Cincinnati. and it is probably ahead
of San Francisco and Buffalo. 1t may
be treading even on the heels of Cleve-
land itself.
Both Detroit and Milwaukee have
gained by annexation. Tne latter
took in a portion of the town of Wan
watosa with a population of 360S in
1900, and it may have annexed other
urban sections during the decade. By
statute law in Michigan, if city wish
es to enlarge it's boundaries by annex
alton, it prepares a map and descrip-
tion of the same and presents the
document to the board of county su-
pervisors and asks to have the change
made. The county board gives notice
of a public hearing on the subject,
and announces it's decision afterward.
and this decision is final. Statistics
recently sent out by the national CEN
sus bureau credit Detroit with having
gained 1900 acres-nearly eleven and
half square miles-since 1900. The
annexed section, which was added in
1905, forms the eighteenth ward of the
city and cast vote in 1908 of 1887.
The town of Springwells, which had
population of 1850 in 1904, appears
to have been the chief sufferer by the
change of boundaries It's vote was
only about ne-eighth as large in 1908
as in 1900.
But, giving due credit to Detroit's
gain by annexation, the city has made
an extraordinary increase. If we con-
slider a metropolis "great city, when
it has passed the half million mark,
Detroit stands at the head of our
"big" cities. 1t will soon be entitled to
call itself a great city.-Providence
