The Black Cap.

A small, limp piece of black cloth
is, according to ancient custom, put
on the top of the judges wig in Eng
land before he passes sentence Of
death and is properly called the sen
tence cap" Or "black cap" Covering
the head was a sign Of mourning
among the Israelites, Greeks Romans
and Anglo-SaXons and is referred to
in Samuel ii, 1880. Putting on the
black cap is not a grim sign of re-
venge of the law. but is rather a token
of sorrow. expressing the regret the
judge feels, at having to condemn the
prisoner to death.

The TreadmiII,

The treadmill was invented thou
sands of years ago by the Chinese to
raise water for the irrigation of the
fields. The invention, somewhat chang
ed, was introduced into England and
other European countries and used in
prisons as mode of punishment. One
was erected at Brixton Jail in 1917 and
soon afterward in other prisons To
ward the end of the century, how
ever it fel II into disuse.

A number of our farmers market
ed lot of stock Wednesday which
was shipped by our local stock buyer.
Joe Ernst, the live cattle buyer,
of Donnelly, is still hustling. He
ships another carload of stock this
week.
Embert Holt. one of the prosperous
farmers of Stevens county was pas
senger to the County seat to attend to
some business matters.
Mr.. Herberger was absent from
the village two or three days the
past week attending to some business
matters, returning home Monday.
DR.. Whittemore was called to the
home of John Dornquast Wednesday
by the illness of their little son. Their
many friends hope nothing serious
Will result.
Gust E. Anderson, who resides
about 4 miles west of here. received
registered Holstein bull calf Mon
day night which he had purchased
from a Mortified breeder.
Mrs. Edw. Herberger and little
daughter Beatrice. returned Monday
night from Chicago. She had been
there to consult an optician in regard
to the little girls eyes.
Lars Brendenfur the tonsorial
artist is possible candidate for the
office of Mayor of the village of
Donnelly at the coming election
which will be held next Tuesday.
The entertainment given in Wag-
goner's hall Tuesday night, was fairly
we'll attended. By request an en-
tertainment was given the following
evening by the same management.
What is the matter with our
street commissioner that he does not
see that our street crossings are not
in a good condition at this time of
the year? They certainly need
little attention.
Allie Olson had the misfortune to
lose his pocketbook Tuesday night
containing about $50. Hope it fell
into hands honest enough to return
it, although employees of uncle Sam
don't mind such small items as this.
C. O. Aanerud attended a special
meeting of the White Bear Lake In
surance Co. at Glenwood March 4th.
A very interesting meeting was held
for the benefit of the company.
The company ranks at present as No.
5, and the inte sion of this meeting
was to gain few points in their
rating for the benefit of the company
and all those interested.
AS a result of the Farmers Insti-
tute it is probable. that meeting
will be called in the near future to
consider the matter of starting a
creamery in Donnelly. There is no
reason why we should not be able
to have a creamery in this vicinity
as any where else in Stevens County. !
We have as fine territory as any
where in the state. and all is necess-
ary, is for the farmers to put their
shoulders to the wheel and patronize
it as they should. and it will prove a
success. Here is hoping that the
farmers will act wisely in this matter
of vital importance to themselves
and the surrounding community.

Industrial Training In Hawaii.

Industrial training forms an impor-
tant part of the work of the public
schools of Hawaii just as it does in the
Philippines. The course includes agri-
culture, woodwork, printing and do
nestle science. Pupils to the number
of $500 In 125 schools have been en-
gagged in systematic gardening. Two
of the schools, including reformatory
school, have raised sugar cane on
commercial basis, the 1911 crop being
expected to yield over $4,000.
Twenty schools are equipped for car
pentry work, and 1875 pupils engaged
in that work during the year. Seven
schools are equipped for printing and
do regular printing on school work,
publishing a paper and many other
things. Domestic science includes
cooking, sewing, lace making and
weaving. Twelve schools have cook
ing departments. In sewing, $500 pu.
pills have been engaged; nearly all the
schools teach plain sewing to both boys
and girls of the primary grades, while
the higher forms of work, such as cut
ting and fitting of garments. are taught
only to the girls of the higher grades
Twenty-one schools give instruction In
lace making. Five hundred pupils have
done weaving with grass, bamboo and
hala leaves.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

ut Is Just year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves. but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store ard got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. she was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided TO
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor. we could see very little i'm

Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try 1t, and

Pills for purifying the blood. bathed
only with Cuticura Soap. and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
Yery gently on the outside with the

swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after month there was no
longer any mucous or watering Of the
eyes. She could already see better.

around the fence for dear life, fol-

GOOD OFFICE RULES

go the limit in speed for little ex-
ira compensation, rather than see
their positions weakened by divers
newcomers, who IL their unframed
state often make errors that may re-
feet badly on the older workers, II not
the whole force.
The wise manager always keeps his
finger on the pulse of general opinion
among his employees and will not, If he
can help 1t, take measures to an
tagonize his old and faithful employees.
At least it has often been observed
that the boss who plumes himself
upon his independence and his ability
to keep others under his thumb re-
CARELESS OF the general sentiment in
his office, ran seldom boast Of a model
management.
Other little follies on the side of the
manager are those of getting too
friendly with his stenographer, of be-
ing absent from his Office too frequent
ly without authorizing definitely some
reliable person to take his chair, or of
promoting the wrong one for other
than business reasons. All the little
and seemingly inconsequential follies
summed up may mean serious flaws
and disagreeable sequels.

NOT ALWAYS GOOD TIME TO EN-
JOY RELAXATION.
At the Same Time Manager Shows
Good Sense When He Leaves
Work to Be Done.

To hurry, or not to hurry, may be
the question when the boss fades
round the corner, but it doesn't worry
the average Office girl. She slopes
back In her chair, yawns few times
and feels entitled to the easiest way
after all the prod and pressure OF the
| morning.
Should we turn our verbal guns on
this sort of average girl and note that
likely she will remain among the In
efficient multitude Of brown worms
who writhe about on the bottom
rung?
How, in the main, should middiing
bunch of office girls conduct them
selves In the chiefs absence? First
| of all, this chief should be resource
full and foresighted enough to provide
work to keep them busy and insist
on the faithful performance of the
same. If he doesn't it's his own look
out If things go awry.
The average girl is bound to smile
at that conscientious nun of a girl
who will copy form letters at rush
day gait just to please the boss, who
may not notice 1t at ALL
One day in the Office of piano and
graphophone factory, the boss had
an urgent call from out of town, and
quite Unexpectedly had to leave his
office force of seven lively girls with
| indefinite Instructions as to work.
In less than an hour the girls had

GETTING WORK DONE

difficulties, but in the main office
workers going at the average gait are
always in danger of muddling when
the pressure is doubled and the work
is hard
The best recipe for doing hard and
fast work Is to go slow and keep cool,
with your hand steady aud your mind
fixed
The hardest way is to let your work
stack up in a threatening tumbling
heap right at your elbow near the
edge of the desk, then glance at it
ever and anon, get square look at
your neighbor who may be several
lengths ahead, and then another
square look at the clock which says
Father Time has been doing a
marathon, and then finally plunge at
your letters with might and main and
nerves that culver with the unaccus-
toned stress. OF course you will get
there-O, yes, but not without errors
that show up later on, and dismal
used up feeling in your brain.
The average girl promptly looks
pessimistic in the face of the extra
strenuous-the bump of individuality
above her nose becomes a nest of lit
tie wrinkles. She begins with deep
sigh that ends with some such
thoughts as Il wish it were five
o'clock" and so exaggerates her hard
ships that it is only with feeling OF
apathy that she can tackle the siren
uous task
She has put herself in the wrong
mental attitude to start with.
The satisfaction of doing something
beyond the ordinary range of her ca
pabilities doesn't cheer her any.
Instead of acquainting herself with
the intricate and knotty points OF her
work and getting a clear understand
ing at the outset she founders along
dispassionately until she lands In the
bog of confusion from which the chief
or his assistants hoists her-without
delight.
This is the hard way of doing hard
work.
When you are assigned new and
unusual duties the most rational way
is to consider and examine them until
you know that you know and can give
your hearty say-so, or on the other
hand demand definite and clear In
structions from those in charge.
OF course the boss may appear de-
lighted when you can tackle some
thing new and difficult with fervor and
quick comprehension, but he would
certainly never blacklist you for ad-
hitting frankly your shortcomings
when necessary instead of wasting
time and Aoundering over difficulties
without results.-Chicago Tribune.
