demand the respect of our fellowmen.
My observation has been that young
women of today are more progressive
than the young men, and there is very
much more expected of them
The world at large is altogether too
lenient with men, and too willing to
overlook their shortcomings. | admire
the girl that will spend two weeks or
more in selecting hat, rather than
take one that did not suit her. That
shows personality, besides she is not
paying out money for something that
does not suit her and she does not want.
This can be applied in the selection Of
husband. admire the young lady
that will remain single all her life in
preference to marrying a man that is
not perfectly congenial to her, and that
she can look up to and be proud of as a
husband. If the young men of today
wish to get the good, intelligent young
women for wives, let them show them
selves worthy.

Youthful Miscreants Are Caught.

For some weeks past pretty pecu-

ginia post-office, the parties thereto
being caught on Sunday last when
Officer Riordon, stationed in the
office for the purpose of watching,
caught Tony Marketti, Matt Flanky
and an Erickson boy in the act of
removing one of the big boxes, the
Marketti youth being pushed
through the aperture from the lob.
by into the Office and proceeding to
examine cash drawers, etc.
The trio were taken into custody,
and will be taken to Duluth today
where they will on Saturday be
given a hearing befor the juvenile
court.
The boys are all youths of ten to
fourteen years, and while there are
many expressions of sympathy to
be heard it is likely they will have
a home for time in the state train
ing school.

klnhl|| Rs,ea|I Cast Under Amusement.

The kimball recall case, brought
before Judge Hughes on Saturday
last under mandamus proceedings,
was argued to~a certain extent be-
fore the court on Saturday last, and
will come up at a session of the
court at Hibbing tomorrow for
further consideration and decision.
The city clerk was represented at
the hearing by City Attorney O. A.
Poirier, while Attorney Arnold ap-
peared in behalf of Mr.. Kimball, of
counsel. AT the meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening Mr.. Poirier
was delegated to care for the matter
at the adjourned term at Hibbing
tomorrow.
The question is of the validity of
the clerks contention that the petit
ton for recall should be signed by
not less than % per cent of the vot-
era actually voting for an incum-
bent of the Office. Those presenting
the petition place faith in different
construction of the charter pro-
visions, claiming the petition as
legal 80 long as it contains Is per
cent of the number of votes cast at
the last election for the Office, the
signers being duly qualified to
vote for successor to the present
incumbent. 1t is purely question
of law and construction of law.
