1t seems good to chronicle signs of
awakening self-respect and common
sense in the U. S. Senate. After a
majority of the Lorimer investigat.
ing committee had in an ostrich-like
report resolved that the purchase of
votes in the Illinois legislature for
Lorimer's election did not disgrace
that party from taking his seat in
the company of Guggenheimer and
his kind of statesmen, Senator Bev-
eridge and a few other senators who
would uphold some old fashioned
standards of decency even in the
U. S. senate, protested against Lor-
liners admission, and it may be that
Illinois and our highest legislative
body may be given chance to re.
deem themselves in the eyes of an
outraged people.

Moki Indian Breadmakina.

Women of the Moki Indians in
the deserts of New Mexico make
bread in sheets no thicker than a
sheet of paper. The corn of which
the bread is made is ground be-
tween two heavy stones until it be-
comes very fine. Then it is mixed
with water and very thin batter
prepared. The batter is spread on
a hot stone over the fire, where it
is allowed to bake a considerable
time. When one side is baked the
other is turned. Sheet after sheet
is baked in this manner. No salt is
used in the batter, and the bread
has a sweetish taste. 1t is usually
blue, taking the color of the corn
from which it is made.-Chicago

A Terrible Threat.

An engineering operation uptown
made it necessary a few days ago
for one of the workmen to hold an
other on a rope halfway down a
deep well. A fall would probably
have been fatal, and Patrick kept
the rope tight and steady while
Terence made the dangerous de-
scent.
After a quarter of an hour Pat
rick's attention wandered to some
thing else. Instinctively he kept
hold Of the rope, but he did not
hear Terence calling to him that it
was time to pull him up until his
fellow worker raised his voice in an
CRY protest.
"Pull me up" called Terence.

pull me up, drat ye, I'll cut the

People who believe in county option

County option is a principle and can
not be waved aside by those who

vancement for the proposition is too
radical to suit many who are pleased

The City of Paris.

The founders of Paris, emigrat-
ing from some Greek or Etruscan
country on the shores of the Medi-
terranean sea, rowed their galleys
up the river Seine. They took pos
session of the island in that stream
on which their city is built and, ac-
cording to the legends that have
come down to the present time,
called it "Baris," which is Greek
for a boat then used upon the river
Nile, whence Paris. The island on
which the adventures landed was
held to typify boat, and to this
day the coat of arms of that IA
nous city is an ancient galley.-Ar-

One Way Out.

An influential woman member of
a fashionable church in Philadel-
phia had gone to her pastor with
the complaint that she was greatly
disturbed by one of her neighbors.
"Why," said she, "that man in the
pew behind ours destroys all my de-
votional feelings when he tries to
sing. Couldn't you ask him to
change his pew" The pastor re-
flected. "Well," said he at last, 81

"SEEING STARS"
The Curious illusion That May Come
With Blow en- the Head.


Usually the sensation occasioned
=. by blow on the head or in the eve
is accompanied by a hallucination.
The person struck thinks that heI
sees something similar to the LIGHT
of stars or fireworks. Such an iilu-I
sion follows the compression of the|
globe of the eye. If there is a sud
den relaxation of the eyeball, due
perhaps to passing paralysis off
the external muscular system Of the
eye, the effect is like that Of a
strong breath exhalcd over the face
OF mirror. Instead of shower
of sparks or stars, a veil falls film
like on the eye. +
A man ''sees stars" because the
eye has been momentarily fattened
either by sudden action or by a
spontaneous spasm. Sudden sick
ness, a swoon, nausea or some too
poignant emotion may be enough to
produce the reflex movement. The
most peculiar feature is that the in
ltial seat of the phenomenon is not
IN the eye, but in the ear. This is
a recognized physiological fact that
has been demonstrated by the best
eye specialists. The sense of local
ity, the sense of space, to which
man owes his power to stand alone.
to walk straight, to look straight
forward or in any chosen direction,
the sense which regulates his atti-
tudes and co-ordinates his gestures,
is seated in the semicircular canals
OF the internal ear. When a hem
orrhage, a wound or a violent dis
turbance of any sort produces dis
order IN the semicircular canals the
disturbance is followed by vertigo.
Vertigo is a visible trouble. The
victim cannot use his eyes. If he
can see at all his vision is blurred
or deceitful, and he imagines that
he is either falling or rising from
the earth.
There is close relationship be-
tween the nerves of the eye and
those of the internal ear, and some
skillful physicians have declared
that the physician who is sum-
moned to case of eye trouble
should begin his diagnosis by care
full examination of the periphery of
the outer ear, as well as the mech
anism of the internal ear centers.

Duluth News-Tribune; The new
British parliament will witness the
results of a general election which
changed the membership on political
lines by just one. In the old house
the government had majority of
124; in this it will have a majority
of 126. the gain of one counting two
on division. Just what this means
as to public sentiment, no one out
side of the United Kingdom can tell,
and there the best judgment is,
probably. a guess. It's like, in fact,
was meyer before known there or
anywhere else. 1t would seem that
public sentiment had changed not
at all. But the amazing thing after
all, would seem to be that the Lib
erals were.able to sustain the popu-
lar interest in the reform movement
through their elections against the
great power Of the lords and main
tain their majority. It shows the
earnestness and sincerity Of the
people, and remarkable confidence
in the Liberal leaders.

DO We LOVE OUR REDWOOD FALLS?

citizens last week, in pledging nearly
500, 900 for the institution of ar
art museum on The ten-acre Morrison
tract near the heart of the residence
district of the city, is not only In
spring to the optimistic and the
well-to-do, but suggestive to plain
citizens of much smaller cities.
4 DO the citizens Of Redwood Falls
really love their home city and take
pride in it? Of course it is absurd
to make comparisons of the wealth
of the two municipalities, but not so
ridiculous to ask why, in the 46 years
since the first settlers plated the
village of Redwood Falls, the city has
received no beauest or endowment
from any of it's sons or daughters.
1t will be suggested that none of our
citizens have amassed great fortunes
here, but we wonder if the real an
swer is not that we feel that we do
not owe this little city anything, af-
ter paying taxes, lodge and church
dues. This feeling of indifference to
local obligations is largely response
BILE for the drift from small cities to
large ores, as shown by the figures
of the last census.
Not to theorize too vaguely, The
Gazette would suggest that some of
our citizens who are getting good
incomes from the rapid increase in
farm values would do we'll to consid-
er some ways in which even a small
bequest might start the drift toward
better things for the Redwood Falls
of the future. There is our public
library. The statement PUBLISHED last
week speaks almost to our shame as
good citizens. With receipts from
all sources of over $1,000, the book
had the munifcent sum
IF S105 66 above expenses of main
,enance to buy additions for the IL
orary. If some citizen would write
check for few hundreds for edu- {
'ational works, he would be invest ;
ng where his money would do a lot q
# good. Then there are splendid I
openings for endowing local hos .
'ital. a school for farm training I'M s
Ter state auspices, a fund for the q
purchase of fair grounds, or for the . !.
of an armory and auditori. f

A NATION OF MARKsMEN.
In Switzerland Rifle Shooting Is Eos
tered as Sport.


Every man in the peaceful an
democratic country of Switzprlan,
is soldier III ii modest way. Tn
ablebodied Swiss enters the army 4
twenty years of age and serves six
ty-fve days in his first year. For tn,
next twelve years he trains fo1
three weeks every alternate year
At thirty-two he enters the land
wehr and has eight to ten DAYS un.
der arms every fourth year until
at fifty, he retires and is required
to furnish no further service except
in case of war.
1t is not too much to call the
Swiss a nation of marksmen. The
training periods are occupied only
with drill and tactics; the all i'm
portant matter of shooting is left
to the individual soldier to carry
out at other times, and he does it
under the auspices of the shooting
societies which are such a feature
of Swiss life.
These societies, under govern
ment control, are called Schutzen-
gesellschaften in the German and
Societies de Tir in the French can
tons. They are voluntary assoeia-
lions, varying in size and Importance
with the town or village they serve.
Those in the larger towns possess
completely fitted ranges and club
houses; the small villages do their
shooting in any field backed by a
suitable hill. Every peasant and
townsman has easy facilities for
shooting, and each man has his
service rifle always in his possession.
Every man between the ages of
twenty and thirty-two must fire
thirty-two shots in four compulsory
exercises every year, and the socie-
ties receive a grant Of 2 francs for
every soldier shooting this course on
their ranges. The income derived
from the grants generally suffices
for the current expenses of the So
oiety, supply Of targets and pay Of
marker. There is no entrance fee
nor subscription, as a rule, and |
heavy expenditures, such as that in
cured by the construction of new
ranges, is met by special grant
rom the government.
In addition to these exercises,
many competitions are held be-
ween different villages, towns and
antons. The whole system of
swiss shooting is a good example of
cooperation between government
nd individual. Every Switzer has
lis army rife; he can use it when
nd where he will, provided he does
ot endanger other lives; he is in
ured by his government against all
ccidents on the ranges, and
through his society he can secure
he services of qualified military Of
GERS to organize and control his
hooting. By treating rife shooting

aseball or football with us and
