Here is what a North Dakota wo-
man says:
Partisan Sage certainly has done
my hair a lot of good, and will highly
recommend it as a very good tonic for
the hair Have used various kinds of
tonics and have found Partisan Sage
the best. | have my head free from
dandruff now, and it has a healthy
Iuster and has an even color 1t used
to be streaky Many of my friends
are using it and they speak highly of
it"-Mrs. Anna Rooney, 101 Second
St, n. Fargo, n. d.
Always bear in mind that there is
nothing for the hair that can compare
with Partisan Sage. There are many
limitations but none of them are guar
anted to eradicate dandruff, stop fall
ing hair and itching scalp in two
weeks, or money back.

class sphere Adam had been bossing
and bluffing around for we don't know
how many years, and when Eve came
he began TO boss her Right there was
the chance Of woman's lifetime, but
Eve wasn't the female to see and seize
it. If she had been there wouldn't
have been centuries of slavery for heI
sex. If she had got her hands into
Adams hair the first time he began ia
bluff he'd have been the one TO rock
Cain and Abel in their cradles Eve
was meek. She didn't want any row
around the house She couldn't speak
very good English, and she hadn't
words TO ft occasions, as the new
woman has.
And then Cain saw how easy it was
to bulldoze wife, and he got married
and buldozed his, and Abel followed
suit. We read Of the good and wise
prophets, but we don't read Of their
wives. Woman's place at that era
was behind the door She was not
considered the equal of the mule. She
worked in the field with the ass and
the OK. and instead of sitting down to
meals with her husband she took her
lunch on the icebox For thousand
years after Eve had come and gone
the family cat was considered of more
consequence than n woman.
Come down to the days of the Ro-
man empire. A few women had got
ahead of the game, but the great
mass were still in IA state of slavery.
Man, the boss, had only TO point his
finger and they hiked. In all the Ro-
man empire there were not 800 wo-
men who dared get up in the morn
ing and predict the weather for the
day. If one had been caught with a
fashion book in her possession she
would have received the lash. It
seems queer in these days, when the
new woman can sit with her feet up
and read fashion books and magazines
all day. that there was ever time
when they were tied up and dashed,
but so It was, and they took it as hum
bly as kittens. If a woman in Egypt
had dared come to the kitchen door
and call out to her husband In the
back yard, Joe grub is ready" she
would have been put to death for her
impudence.
Meek Mates of the Aneients.
There was a Mrs. Diogenes. Ever
hear anything about her? No, of
course not While he was sitting
around in his tub and making a great
bluff to the public she was hoeing in
the garden at home or whitewashing
the cellar. The new woman calls her
husband Pete or Joe or Tom. Have
you any idea that the wife Of the old
tubite ever dared to address him as
Diog?
There was a Mrs. Pliny and a Mrs.
Plato. They were on a high plane for
their sex, but they had to mind their
p's and as, and don't you forget 1t.
Let the old boss find button missing
from his trousers and there'd be hail

KNOCK A CHRONIC KNoCKER
Should be Banished-Knows Every
bodys Affairs but His Own

An exchange, in well tempered spirit
and language, discourses thoughtfully
on the fellow who is too wise to make
a success personally, but feels himself
leader in wisdom in society, business
and politics. He can tell how every
body else should conduct their business,
how the government and all its affairs
ought to be administered. He breaches
but has not the force of character to
practice. He usually finds everybody
but himself political hireling. and a
CRATER. The professional neighbor-
hood knocker is thus described:
The knocker is not necessarily quail
fed to go ahead and do the job he hap
pens to be knocking about. The world
is full of people plugging away at their
allotted tasks, maybe working awk-
wardly, maybe making mistakes and
maybe building up and tearing down
and then building up again, but always
trying to do something worth while
anyway They are the common run of
people, the people who are the real
backbone of our civilization. The knock
err is comparatively scarce article, but
noisy. He it is who can stand by and
point out the mistakes the mechanic is
making as he works at his trade, the
mistakes the merchant makes, the mis-
takes of the lawyer, of the editor, the
farmer, and of the preacher. In the
case of the knocker neither education
nor training are necessary. He just
naturally knows it all Unfortunately,
perhaps, the knocker is not without
power to do mischief. The busy peo-
pie perhaps fail to keep posted on every
day affairs, perhaps they depend too
much upon what they hear without the
training to distinguish truth from false
hood, q good cause from dishonest
cause, or a real sheep from lion in
sleeps clothing, and they are misled.
Hardly community where the people
have not been fooled just that way.
And nearly always the knocker is pretty
busy in such cases. He loves to see
people who are trying to do things
come to grief and when good people
differ and grow suspicious of each
other, the knocker fairly revels with
delight. Lock out for him. He is
nearly always mean, jealous, and
scheming individual, and his influence
is destructive to that spirit of enter
prise and helpfulness and harmony nee
essary to every community.

NORWAY COPIES OUR SYSTEM
Attorney Skaar Reviews American
and Norwegian Schools

With his wife, Attorney Oluf R..
sSaar. a former citizen of Viroqua, now
Of La Crosse, returned from a visit to
the land of his birth In an interview
with La Crosse papers Mr.. Skaar is
credited with having said that the school
system of Norway is modelled after that
Of the United States, and that the gov
eminent of the land of the midnight
sun is striving to make the schools as
much ike those of the new world as
possible.
Mr.. Skaar and his wife left for Nor
nav to bring home to La Crosse their
shree daughters, Martha, Ragnahild
ard Gunver, who have spent a year in
q school in Christiania. Mr.. Skaar
made close study Of the Norwegian
school, and he is convinced that they
are second only to those of this country
IN efficiency. He declares that young
and able educators are sent every year
from Norway by the government to
America, to study our school system,
and that the best of methods in use in
the United States are thus brought
syer and put in use in Norway.
AS an example of the efficiency of
the Norwegian schools, Mr.. Skaar
states that at the last census of N6--
way, taken last year, not a single case
Of illiteracy was found an the country,
every man, woman and child, with the
exception of those too young and the
predetermined, being able to read and
write.
MIR. Skaar, however, declares that in
spite of the many beauties of his native
and, he is glad to get back to La
Crosse. He declares also that in the
last five years the land of the midnight
sun has become mecca for travelling
Americans, and that every part of Nor
way which he visited in tour of three
months duration was full of Ameri-
cans. Mr.. Skaar and his family, while
abroad, visited Sweden and Denmark,
rs well as Norway.
