A Year Aheac Of His Time,

Tuve~bo"rg was not so long ago
the scene of an incident savoring de-
cidedly of comic oDera. When the
late ruler of the Grand Duchy was
Duke of Nassau he was officially in
formed of the death of his cousin. the
King of the Netherlands, and prompt
ly journeyed from Vienna to Luxem-
bourg. to which state he was next in
succession owing to the operation Of
the Sale law. A ceremonial entry was
made into the capital. and the new
Grand Duke had already received per-
sonal congratulations from many of
his most prominent subjects. when he
heard that King Williams physicians
lad been misfed by cataleptic trance
and that so far from being dead he
was on the road to recovery So Duke
Adolphus had to return to Vienna, and
when, a year later. the King really
passed away several weeks elapsed be-
fore the new ruler Of Luxembourg as
sumed the reins of government

''It's delightful sensation 100 feet
in the air." said Mccoy, when asked
how it felt to fit over the grounds at
a speed of So miles per hour. "The
weather conditions are ideal, and the
machine is working as smoothly as
could be desired"
Sunday night marked the. real be-
ginning of McGoey's career as an avi-
ator. Prior to that time he. had been
Swimming back and forth inside the
fair grounds. becoming accustomed
to his machine. Sunday, however, in
the face of stiff wind from the
north, Mccoy sailed over the fair
grounds fence in big circle, similar
to those of last night, and alighted
safely in the grounds again, after
making flight lasting three minutes
and covering about mile and three
quarters.

She Knew ROW to Reason.
A little CIR six years old visited her
grandfather, who was a minister of
the gospel. lie is man who has con-
t"ibuted something to controversial
theology, and is well known as
logician. His granddaughter opened
on him in this wise:
Grandpa, Uncle Herbert says the
moon is made of green cheese!"
WELL dearie, if you want to con-
trovert Uncle Herbert, suppose you
look it up in your Bible"
"Wherell l look, grandpa?"

All former successes in Swedish
comedy-drama seem to have been e.
clipsed by Gilbert Tossick's effort, sole
Peterson. Competent critics have
even declared this pretty play equal
to the "Old Homestead in many re-
spects. The specialties are new, an
abundance of special scenery has been
provided, in fact nothing left undone
to brighten the performance. If you
enjoy an evening of pure, clean and
refined entertainment, don't fail to
see the funny, good natured Swede at
the Opera House on Friday, August

Wild animals and the damage they
do make an interesting chapter in
the blue book of India The latest sta
tistics are for the year l909-public
documents are proverbially slow in ap-
pearing-and there, carefully set
down, are statistics showing that in
one year snakes killed 1900 persons,
tigers devouring an even 900, leopards
800. wolves 270 and other animals 6S6
When 1t comes to cattle and other
farm animals. the leopards were most
destructive, since they made way
with $4,000, tigers coming next with
$4,000. wolves with 10000, while
snakes have only $500 charged against
them
But man was not altogether lazy,
since he killed 10000 serpents and
1900 tigers. leopards and wolves

Telephone Conversations as Exidene,

Telephone Conversations as Evidence.
In recent case it was admitted
that telephone conversation had TAX
en- place between a representative of
the plaintiff and the defendant, but It
was claimed on the part of the de-
neutrality-suspicious. that each party to
the conversation could testify only to
what he said and could not testify to
what he heard through the telephone
presumably upon the ground that he
might have misunderstood what the
other party said. In declaring this
objection untenable the appellate divi-
sion in the second department peril
nently said that such a rule would ad-
nit fragments of conversation, per-
haps meaningless and probably unin-
structive. THE conversation, that is,
what one said and the other replied,
is the only ineligible and helpful evil
dence. Bench and Bar.

present incumbent and his managers
are not on tie job.
Believe me, if President Taft's
North Star state managers were half
as active as those now fostering the
LaFollette boom in Minnesota ther re
would be nothing to it. The latter
have been ON the job the past year
and nothing has been overlooked in
booming the LaFollette cause. Where
the money comes from is not known,
but the Minnesota managers of the
Wisconsin man have it. Expensive
headquarters in Minneapolis, and one
man with a large, fat roll stationed
in the Saint Paul hotel, attest to that
fact. But is it realizing them any,
thing? That is the question. To be
frank, 1 fear it is not. Say what you
may and think as you will, money ad-
vances more ambitions than votes, as
far as the political game is concerned,
but at the same time much depends
on the disbursing agent. Down here
the La Toilette disbursing agents are
not regarded highly. Jim Peterson,
James Manahan and George LOTUS,
who are behind the movement, may
be sincere in the advocacy of the
Wisconsin senator, but
Speaker H. H. Dunn, who presided
over the deliberations of the last
house. is credited with other ambi-
lions. The latest is that he may
tackle the republican nomination for
lieutenant governor. The position of
congressman-at-large, it is said, also
attracts him.
A. n. Dare, an editor of Elk River
and former state printer, was a capt.
tol visitor last week. Elk River DO
tatoes have been selling at unheard
of prices and Mr.. Dare did not care
whether the state administration won
or not. He declared that Minnesota
was one of the biggest potato states
in the Union.
