Auditor Iverson and Secretary of
State Schmahl to his credit. These
two. with Governor Eberhart, will
make the selection. Those named
are the most important in the race,
but there are a dozen others who
have asked to be considered.
Congressman Sidney Anderson of
the First district is not regarded
very highly in the East and some of
the uncomplimentary things said of
him by the Eastern papers are be-
ing widely copied by Southern Min
nesota papers. To several of the
Eastern editorials attacking him he
has made vigorous answer. The East
ern papers refuse to see how an en-
lightened and progressive state like
Minnesota would turn down man
like James A. Tawney for an un-
known. They insist that there must
have been a mistake. The mistake,
however, is perfectly satisfactory as
far as Mr.. Anderson is concerned.
Henry Rines of Mora may shy his
caster into the ring for the republi-
can nomination for secretary of state.
Friends brought word to the Twin
Cities the early part of the week that
he had his eye on the job. Mr.. Rines
was the leading county optionist in
the last legislature. He has also been
talked Of in the past for lieutenant
governor.

Swift's "Rules and Directions
For Servants" are evidence that the
servant of the seventeenth century
did not differ materially from the
modern American article. Among
these rules are the followings:
"Scrape the bottom of your pots
with silver spoon, for fear of Civ
ing them a taste of copper"
"Write your name and your sweet
hearts with the smoke of candle
on the roof of the kitchen to show
your learning" whoever comes
to call on your master or mistress

Tuesday, Dec. IL. This case grew
out of the affairs of James w.
Bassett, late Of Windsor, deceased,
of which estate the plaintiff is
administrator.
James w. Bassett, son of defend
ant, was prosperous blacksmith in
Windsor. He was seriously i'll and
about to be taken to the hospital AT
Claremont, N. H., tor surgical
operation. Realizing that he might
not survive the operation, James " =,
just prior to starting tor the hospital,
drew check on the State National
Bank of Windsor tor $1,000, payable
to the order Of Wellington Bassett,
and sent it to him by mail and the
defendant collected the money on it
prior to the death of James w. The
plaintiff, who is administrator of the
estate of James W., contends and
gives testimony to prove that this
$1,000 was placed in hands OF
defendant to be used in paying the
hospital, funeral and burial expenses,
in case he did not survive, and the
balance to be paid over to his
administrator; that James w. had
an idea that if his estate apparently
was not very large, creditors would
not be so likely to bring in bills.
The defendant claims that this
$1,000 was sent to him in payment
of money loaned, but admitted that
out of it he had paid the hospital,
funeral and burial expenses of his
son.

What Christmas Presents Shall
Make !?

This depends much upon the per-
in mole cases. than you probably
Imagine, no present could be made
which would contribute more to the
welfare of the recipient than a
deposit book in the Hyde Park
Savings Bank.
The Bank never declines deposit
because it is small. Any sum from a
single cent to million dollars will
he received and 4 per cent. interest
allowed, compounded semi-annually.
Remember the Bank pays all
taxes and if the donor wishes to
qualify the deposit by saying it must
not be drawn until some specified
day, as for instance when the recipi-
ent is is or I'll years of age, it is
entirely proper to make the deposit
in this way.
Let the pass-hook be accompanied
by nice letter from the donor to
the recipient urging thrift and sug-
gesting that this little nest egg be
added to from time to time as the
recipient has few coppers that he
or she can save.
We do not need to tell you about
the strength and soidity of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank, but if you would
like any facts connected with the
Bank, write the President, Carroll
5. Page, or the Treasurer, f. Nj.
