Endorse W.. FL. Coulter's
Circus

In the great scrap book of press
notices kept by the great w. H.
Coulter shows may be found many
unique and original press notices
which make interesting reading.
Perhaps one of the most original
comments, because of its unusual
and emphatic way of expressing its
approval of the big show, is the
following, taken from the Daily
Journal of Hannibal, Mo-:
Some years ago a bald headed
member of the Missouri legislature,
from the southeastern section OF
the state, introduced a bill to COM
pei circuses to show everything
advertised.
This honest statesman evidently
did not have Mr.. Cou1ter's circus
in mind, when he prepared his bill
judging from the great entertain
ment given by that great COM
bination in this city yesterday.
The promises on the big, fam
ing bills were great, but every
promise was fulfilled, and more.
The parade, to start with,
astonished everybody. 1t was i'm
mense. And then the menagerie
was complete and there was nc
kick coming from ticket holders.
The big show came up fully to
expectation. To particularize
would require a page. Every act
was applauded. The Journals
advice is, when you get within
reach of w. H. Coulter's show, go
and get your moneys worth. -
The Great w. H. Coulter Shows
will exhibit in Ely on Tuesday July
18th.

disagreeable, bringing on choking
and suffocating sensations and some
others, and about ninety per cent
of the southern atmosphere is
humidity. But the southern people
stand UP to it, because that is the
sort of weather that makes the
cotton grow. People of the north
who have the big lungs, will dc
well to keep away from the south
during the summer months (being
all of the months except November
and December), as there is not ali
enough there at that time to pro-
perly supply the needs of the small
lunged residents. 1t takes at least
four swallows and a half of the
humid stuff to fiji the lungs of the
northerner, and then there is moth
ing SOl1d and l1te-g1V1ng IN It.

Minnesota-it is the only kind of
weather on which to feed the big
and splendid people that inhabit
this part of the globe. 1t is never
hot here in the accepted sense
there is always a sign of life in the
air, a sign that makes its presence
known by the swapping ginger that

posed to every religion and every
form of decent society. With the
increase of socialism in our midst,
the number of crimes has materially
increased, from numbering little
children to blowing up the houses
of the mining captains and sup
erintendents on the ranges. A
Socialist has neither God, con-
science nor honor; he has no flag,
except the red rag of anarchism,
no patriotism and no country of
which to feel proud. He is an out
law and an outcast in every
country. To him law is an emblem
of tyranny and the police and the
jails are his greatest terrors.
Socialism is organized crime
under the guise of political party,
pure and simple. Let wake up to
realize this before it is too late. In
the cities of Northern Michigan
they have city ordinances for
bidding the parading of the red flag
of anarchism. Let the city council
of Duluth pass such an ordinance
Immediately so that recent dis
graceful parading of the red flag
may not be repeated. Let our
teachers and ministers and all law
abiding and respectable citizens
take notice. There is no room for
socialism or the red flag in America.

EDITOR GOES FISHING

Who is there who hasn't at some
time during the past few weeks
been tapped on the shoulder by a
friend who blandly inquiries want
to-go-fshing"? Most of US go, of
course, we can, and many go re-
CARELESS of consequences. So it
was with the editor of Anoka
Herald. He went and here is what
he thinks of the experience:
Are you rather Indifferent in the
matter of fishing, and have you a
friend who feels that he has a mis-
sion to hitch you to fish pole now
and then and take you out to par
boil the back of you neck?
If so there is no need for you to
read these lines for you have exper-
fenced the same sad situations as
are here set down. If not, the
moment you spare us may serve
you well some day.
We were ambling down the main
artery of our business centre the
other day and gave pause for a
moment before a store window
where friend stood gazing in a
facinated manner upon an array of
fishing tackle.
It was an evil hour. We should
have journeyed on. The converse
ton drifted on from the nice rain
which had just fallen to the fact
that angle worms were ripe. Skill
fully our friend enlarged upon the
subject shifting from the abstract
to the concrete until we found our
selves buying a fsherman's outfit.
We have never cared for fishing
aud are glad that we don't, for, if
we did, we doubtless would and
goodness knows that would be tire
some, feeling as we now do about
| it.
Anyhow we purchased rod,
reel, line, sinkers, a quart of whis-
key, hook, flies, minnow pail,
frog box, tape measure, set of
scales, shot gun, boat with oars,
a lunch basket, six 1oaves of bread
and another quart of whiskey.
Thus equipped we started up the
river to materially reduce the pisca-
tory population of the Rum. On
the way our friend explained that
the shot gun was for the game
warden in case the scales or tape
measure were inaccurate and we
violated the game laws half an inch
or so.
Our friend being familiar with
fishing tackle it was decided that
we row the boat up the river while
he Strengthened out the tackle.
We did it but we decided to become
more familiar with the fishing tackle
before the next trip.
The sun scared the back of our
neck and our hat got adrift beyond
our reach. We tried to hang slim
wiggling angle worm on the hook
and he crawled up Our sleeve pro-
voking uncomfortable shivers along
the spine.
After dangling a frog with fifty
feet of line in the water for two
hours we were not surprised to find
that the resourcefu1 creature had
climbed upon snag and was peace
fully basking out of reach of the
most energetic of fish.
Our friend jerked in a nifty one
but we ruled it back into the stream
again after looking up the rules of
the game and taking careful mea-
surements. On the way home in
the evening we caught bull head
It cost up to five bones to have
our neck tinkered up, buy a new
hat and get supper, and it was two
weeks before we could wear a col
lar. A bull head brings FIVE cents
in some markets, but not here.

sketches and make themselves up in
styles rangin" from hideous TO redic-
ulous, under the evident impression
that grimy facy. sloppy clothes and
a generally repulsive appearance
make Tor laughter, might well take
copy by the way the man in this act
dresses. He looks as though he just
popped out of band box and his at
tire is eccentric enough-dres coat
fancy vest and white trousers with
black perpendicular stripes. He de-
ponds upon his ability as a comedian
and a dancer to win laughter and APP
probation, and in both cases succeeds
admirably. An attractive woman
lends interest to events anu aids clev-
erly in bringing matters TO a success

the pair work fast and their joint
efforts prove entertaining.-Walt.

1t is q much discussed problem as
to whether women dress In order to
please each other or to please the
opposite SEX 1t is certain that fash
ion would not play the important
part 1t dpfs but for the Unborn desire
lin most Women to optshine the rest,
Is only q very few men are able to
grasp the fashionable details in a
woman's dress,sand only seem to pos
sess the distinctly irritating quality
OF observing what they are pleased to
call either the eccentricities or the
vagaries of fashion. To the majority
Of the fair sex. however, practically

can be said to be the latest thing,
and custom will harden them to any
extravagant popularity. Again, the
woman who attracts most attention
is the one. VINO Is the most exquisitely
gowned, and not necessarily the best
looking. unless, OF course, she is I'M
usually beautiful.
One OF the most noticeable features
OF the new fashions is the curious
0ne-sided effect aimed at and car
ried out blythe arrangement OF the
draperies or the general cut. In many
cases one side OF the bodice is draped
with the material, while a lace net
or some form Of jabot falls across the
other. One delightful evening frock,
in black satin, was made with one
sleeve in satin and the other in white
applique lace. yelled in black tulle,
while a panel OF rich silver and pearl
embroidery on black chiffon encircled
tn ewaist and fell In deep point on
the skirt. A tunic of black chiffon
fell over the long pointed train OF
black satin.
The new trains either end In a
point or are cut quite square, and for
evening wear we no longer trip
trip around in q short skirt which
robbed us OF the dignity and grace
fulness which train alone can i'm
part. Another new feature is the
ubiquitous bead trimming which is
used promiscuously to ornament hats
or dresses. One quaint little hat was
trimmed with emerald beads and
faced with black straw; the great
drawback to this as trimming Is the
weight ii adds to the hat. One par
ticnlarly striking model of an even
ing frock was made with an under
dress Of black satin, the overdress be-
Ing heavily embroidered with black
and white porcelain beads. A straight
band OF these went around the top of
the kimcno sleeves and across the
front Of the bodice, making the decoI-
letage q straight line, a similar piece
going down the front. while deep
width OF the same pattern formed the
hem Of the skirt, giving a quaint
dragging down effect. A knot OF
black and white ribbon fastened at
the high waist. while two beaded
ends hung down.

the bicornes are so shaped that the
brim. front and back almost meet

ments.
