Gle Sans service in the early six

seventy years old, and he is right.
Delta has no truer booster, even
among her younger blood, than sho
has in her smiling, joking, Captain

Snakeskin In a Birds Nest.

The great crested fycatcher chooses
for its nesting place sheltered hollow
bough or the abandoned excavation
made by the golden winged wood
pecker His architecture is peculiar
on account of the unusual materials
he uses. In every nest you will finC a
bit of dry snakeskin and shreds Of soft
inner bark Of trees. Among hundreds
Of nests examined not one has lacked
these peculiar substances Naturalists
have tried in vain to discover why the
bit of dry snakeskin is chosen. 1t does
not seem to be Of any use In the struc-
ture of the nest, and quite often 1t lies
loosely on the outer rim or carelessly
set into the extreme bottom. Possibly
the fycatcher regards 1t as choice
bit Of ornamentation.
The olympian Jupiter.
The celebrated statue the Olympian
Jupiter. the masterpiece of Phidias, the
greatest of all sculptors. was removed
to Constantinople by Theodosius l., in
which place it was destroyed by fire in
the year 475. In this, his greatest work,
the artist sought to embody the idea
Of majesty and repose, and from all
accounts succeeded perfectly. The IA
nous statue was in sitting position,
forty feet high, on pedestal Of twen-
ty. and was made of ivory and gold
So famous was it that 1t was consid-
cred calamity to Jie without seeing
it. The statue served as a model for
all subsequent representations Of maj
esty and power in repose among the
ancients.

Though admittedly favorable to the
Eberhart cause the present attitude
of some of the Twin City dailies is
exciting not little comment. Early in
the week the Minneapolis Journal led
off it's editorial page with a scathing
arraignment of the governor because
he failed to come up to it's ideal of an
executive, and the st. Paul Dispatch
Pioneer has since been engaged in
trying to show disinclination on the
part of the administration to lend its
fighting forces to the Taft hackers in
the state. The latter grew out of an
alleged unauthorized interview on the
part of Secretary Wheelock, which, in
part, has been repudiated both by him
and the governor. AS to the Journal,
it has never looked with marked favor
on the Mankato man.

The first intimation OF third Re
publican gubernatorial candidate came
with the announcement of Alvah East
man of St. Cloud for congressman at
large, which followed hot on the heels
of story that Congressman Lind
bergh of Little Falls was about to get
into the game. Several in attendance
at the Eberhart fire congress whis-
pered that Mr.. Eastman had higher as
pirations, but this talk was promptly
squelched by the st. Cloud man in an
editorial in which he commented upon
the coming campaign, spoke OF Eber-
hart and Gordon as the only two can
didates, and invited his readers to
take their choice He deprecated any
convention trouble or feeling. Some
weeks later r. C. Dunn visited the St.
Cloud editor and he followed 1t with
a hurried trip to the state capitol.

Yours truly did not sit in at the con-
ference between Mr.. Dunn and Gov

but on the authority of one who was
there Mr. Dunn, who is nothing if not
aggressive, did not mince words in
telling the Eberhart forces that it was
up to them to get busy. He had been
making some side excursions and he
had found things that surprised him
He later had friendly visit with some
of the Gordon adherents in the same

for Governor Eberhart, as he believes
he represents Republican success and

Especial Correspondence.

St. Paul, Nov. 2S.-Some time ago
mentioned the undoubted possibility
of a third entry in the Republican
state gubernatorial contest and just
now it looks as if the forecast prom
ised realization. Like the song hit of
the day, THAT Mysterious Rag" the
aggravating, tantaliZing, tongue-wag-
ging air of THAT Mysterious Third
has the entire population at the state
capitol humming the refrain and a
dozen sleuths busy trying to find the
culprit Trot him out will soon be the
cry, though 1 fancy the smoking out
process will not be attended with
much success before the first of the
year. Who he is, where he comes
from, what his chances are and who
is or what is the motive behind the
whole thing Dame Rumor or the king
makers have failed to acquaint me
my honest opinion is that the two
would like some inside information
upon the subject-but just the same
"That Mysterious Third" is in the
air and just now has the call. Gov
ernor Eberhart, who hopes to be re-
turned, processes ignorance and S. Y.
Gordon of Browns Valley smiles when
questioned and says nothing-as usual.

Laying aside the question of wheth-

bits of gossip that injects itself into
every campaign, or that it is on the
level the entrance of a third candi-
date into the coming gubernatorial
game would not be against the regu-
lar order of things. If anything, the
present situation invites it. Quoting

The Republican machine at the state
capitol is taking hope from a number
of newspaper clippings being received

The state board of control will leave

later will follow with trip East, with
a view of securing ideas for contem-
plated reforms in the management Of
the Red Wing training school, which
for the past year has been pretty
much in the spotlight. Corporal pun
ishment may not be abolished, but
other reforms will be instituted. Com

the other day that the department

St. Paul is on the eve of another

the Democrats, under the command of
R. T. O'Connor, are the first on the

as the Democratic candidate for
mayor, and the wise ones are picking
him as a winner. He will have for
