Bird Friend of Earmar.

Possibly the most useful bird to
srops is the bob white. the common
partridge. The agricultural reports OF
the southern states, especially Virgin
la, show that annually several hun
dred tons of pernicious weed seeds
are destroyed by bob whites alone. 1t is
figured that IRON September / TO April
80 annually In Virginia alone the total
consumption of weed seed by bob
whites amounts to 573 tons.

Really Worth While.

Eben Pratt Of Marshby had sent two
sons to Boston and knew he had rea-
son to be proud Of them. One day a
summer visitor lingering in Mr.. Pratt's
grocery, provision and dry goods es-
adjustment mentioned some Of the
shining lights who had made them
selves remembered in and near Boston
and others still to be found there.
We've had good many smart men
and women in and around our city"
said the visitor. "and there are num-
Der of them left. We've got scientific
men and writer's and artists and must

RALPH ENTITLED TO FAIR HEARING.

Until it has been conclusively
proven that George A. Ralph, the
state engineer. has been remiss in his
duties as the inspector of state
drains, there will be many persons,
in this part of the state at least,
who will insist that any reflection
upon the competence or integrity of
Mr.. Ralph is an injustice.
We quote from the International
Falls Press: ."
AS far as we are able % ,dge til
State Drainage Commission through
its engineer, Geo. A. Ralph has
been diligently endeavoring to over
come the many difficulties that
arise in digging bitches through a
floating bog where the muskeg per-
sits in sliding into the ditch behind
the dredge.
Wherever these difficulties arise,
as far as we are able to judge, the
only way to do is that which the
drainage Commission is doing,
which is to allow the water to- drain
off and then 90 back over the work
when the earth has had chance to
settle and put the bitches in proper
form, when this is done we are sure
that no one will have cause for CON-
plant.
The hope of Koochiching county
is drainage and road building and
we very much fear that if the good
work of the State Drainage Com
mission along these lines in our
county is misrepresented it will have
a tendency to prevent further
appropriations in carrying out this
Important work."
The Press makes good point and
the same argument can just, as
wisely be applied to Beltrami
county as to Koocbiching.

ARCHBISHOP RYAN.

In the passing of Rev. Patrick
John Ryan. archbishop of Phila-
delphia and metropolitan of Pen.
nsylvania. at the arch Episcopal
residence in philadelphia, last Satur-
day, bright light fades from Ameri.
can Roman Catholicism and the
country loses the kind of a patriot
of which the United States is proud
Particularly appropriate is this
eulogy from the eloquent tongue of
Archbishop Ireland:
In the death of Archbishop
Ryan, the Catholic hierarchy of
America, sees the blotting from its
rank of one of its noblest figures.
Endowed by nature with splendid
talents, that succeeding years made
the brighter and the richer, allowed
a long episcopate in which to put
them to profit, he rose high among
his colleagues in dignity of bearing,
effectiveness of work and width of
religious and moral influence. To-
gether with being a great church
man he was great citizen of the
republic, loving profoundly his
country and always ready to do its
service. America with good reason
mourns his death."- Archbishop
John Ireland.
Archbishop Ryan was considered
the greatest of the line of bishops
and archbishops that have occupied
the Episcopal See since its erection
in 1903. He was one of the FORE
most pulpit orators in the Catholic
church in this country.
The Archbishop was born in
Thurles, county of Tipperary, Ire
land, on February 20, 1881. His
parents died when he was very
young and his youthful education
was received from the Christian
Brothers at Aries. He studied at
Carlow Seminary and later came to
this country, going to St. Louis
where he was appointed a professor
In Carondelet Seminary. On Sep
TENDER 8, 1858, he was ordained a
priest. In 1856 he was made rector
of the 81. Louis Cathedral and four
years later was placed in charge of
the church of the Enunciation. In
1872, Father Ryan was consecra ed
coadjutor bishop of St. Louis with
the right of succession and in, 1884
he was appointed archbishop of
Philadelphia.

ss ouesred His Grandf athsr.
Peter Augustus had a foolish, fond
old grandfather. The grandfather was
boasting to a visitor one day, as grand
fathers will, about the family he had
raised.
my daughter Martha is fine young
woman" he said, land her little boy,
Peter Augustus, is a fine lad. But the
finest thing about that pair is the at
lection that exists between them.
They never exchange cross word.
They're more like two young lovers
than mother and son. It's beautiful
to see them together. Hold on a min
ute, and I'll call Peter Augustus in.
Then his mother will come down, and
you can see their relations for your.
self"
The old man rose and ambled heavily
to the door. There was beatific smile
on his old face. Little Peter Augustus
was playing with the cat in the gar.
den.
"Peter Augustusv' he shouted. ''Pe.
ter Augustus! Your mother wants
you"
The little boy dropped the cat and
fixed a searching glance on his grand
father. vi "A s""
