WHAT MAKES TwILIGHT?-It is
very generally admitted that few
people have ever investigated its
cause any more than many other
everyday things that lose interest
from familiarity. Twilight is that
condition which lasts a few moments
between light and darkness caused
by a reflection OF a light as from a
mirror. The rays OF light, it is well
known. will not bend around a cor
ner but will refract, or backbreak
from objects in line, and this is the
explanation Of twilight here, where
the phenomenon is frequently pre-
scented.

it will sit for several weeks, hearing
the most ponderous efforts of attorneys
and holding numerous executive SEES

The editor Of The World made a

SOCIALISM AND THE MILITIA.

R. Goer of this city, an active men,
Der OF the Socialist local organization,
returned this week from Grand Forks
where he delivered an address before the
Socialists of that city, condemning the
government for holding the manouevers
now in progress on the Mexican border
For some reason that is not clear to
The World the socialists as an organic
ed body are strongly opposed to the
militia and it's success. They lose no
opportunity to prevent the organization
of new companies and do all in their
power to discourage the older ones.
The following from the National Guard
Magazine illustrates the point:

list paper Appeal to Reason of date De-

vice. He declares that no man should
