Attorney General Simpson of Mime
sofa Tenders Resignation.

With little ceremony and in the pres
ence only of Executive Clerk Hayes,
Assistant Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith and two newspaper men, At
torney General George T. Simpson
rendered his resignation to Governor
Eberhart, effective Jan. 1, 1912. I'm
mediately thereafter the governor
rendered the Office to Mr.. Smith and it
was accepted. This is the first time
in the history of Minnesota that an at
torney general has resigned from the
office.
Mr.. Simpson proffered the governor
a letter setting forth in detail why he
quit. In it he dwelt on the fact that
he was advancing In years, that he
would leave the Office poorer than when
he came and that duty to his family
prompted him to take up private prac-
tice. He will go to Minneapolis to be-
come associated with r. J. Powell. a
widely known corporation attorney.

TV-Fiehtine Fear In Cloudland

Up and up he climbs, and soon he
enters the region of the clouds. He
seems to be whizzing through an i'm
mense void with neither sides nor top
nor bottom, and the unreality of it all
and the immensity of it oppress him
and the nerves begin their unpleasant
little tremors that tell of approaching
fear. ID" ~'' -' .r.
Then above the clouds he bursts
into the glaring, brilliant sunlight, and
here again he meets conditions that
increase the nerve tremors. Sudden
gusts of wind catch him. They are
quick and dangerous just above the
clouds on a sunshiny day. and they
give no warning of their approach, so
it means every faculty on edge to pre-
pare for all kinds Of contingencies,
and the strain begins to tell. So one
grits ones teeth and sits tighter and
looks to the whirling propeller or the
thermometer or anything to take ones
mind off the loneliness and the vast
ness and his own impudence in COM
ing up so high into region in which
he has no rights, ~~szs..sspx.

that he would do it.

The new towers which have been
erected at several places in the north

The Oldest Newspaper.

The Using Pao. or Pekin News, Is
the oldest newspaper in the world, hav-

1,4OO years. Its circulation is about

in publishing this paper is shown by
the fact that until recent years the

fear seems to laugh at you for trying
to keep it away from you.
Now the nerves are gone. They
jump and strain, and you fancy you
hear and see things, and then your
fears concentrate on a noise behind
you, and suddenly you realize that
you are gone-the tail has come loose!
It is rattling on it's broken wires now,
and at the next plunge it will be
wrenched off completely and leave you
helpless in the one awful straight drop
down to the earth that is lurking un-

low you.
You take quick glance over your
shoulder and find the tail in first
class shape, holding the machine to
her work and looking strong enough
to balance a machine with two men
your size.
Completely reassured, you turn again
to your climbing. Your nerves are
terribly shaken by this few moments
of panic, but you make up your mind
that it shall not occur again, and you
grit your teeth and shove her nose
upward once more.
Usually the danger is over almost be-

AN ESSAY.


A boy In town was given the
stunt by his father, TO write an
essay on Editors, and here is the
papers come to be in the world.
l don't think God does, for He
amt got nothing to say about
them and Editors in the Bible.
think the editor is one of the miss
ing links you read of, and stayed
in the bushes until after the flood;
and then came out and wrote the
thing up, and has been here ever
since. l don't think he ever dies.
l never saw a dead one, and l
never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is a mighty good one,
but the editor goes without I'M
derclothes all winter and don't
wear any socks, and paw amt paid
his subscription since the paper
started. asst paw if that was
why the editor had to suck the
juse out of snowballs in winter
and go to bed when he had shirt
wasn't in the summer. And then
paw took me out into the wood
shed and lickt me awful hard. If
the editor makes a mistake folks
say he ought to be hung; but if
the doctor makes any mistakes he
buries them and people dassent
say nothin, because doctors can
read and write Latin. When the
editor makes a mistake there is
lawsuits and swearing, and a big
fuss; but if a doctor makes one
there is a funeral, cut flowers and
perfek silence. A doctor can use
a word yard long without him
or anybody knowing what it
means; but if the editor uses one
he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges for the visit; but if the
editor goes he gets a charge of
buckshots. When the doctor gets
drunk it's a case of being over
come with the heat and if he dies
it's heart trouble; when a editor
editor gets drunk it's a case of
too much booze; and if he dies
it's the jim-jams. Any old college
can make doctor; editor has
to be born"
