MARY D. MCFADDEN, writing to
the News Tribune from St. Paul,
says there is already gum shoe
work being done for the nomina-
ton of governor for the election
two years hence and says that
Lieut.. Gov. S. Y. Gordon and R.
G. Dunn will be the candidates on
the Republican ticket without a
doubt. From present indications
it seems that Governor Eberhart
will succeed himself two years from
now and after that it will be some
what hard to tell at this early date
who will be the nominee. In the
meantime we would suggest to
Mary that she keep he eye on Walt
Smith now in the treasurer's Office.
Walt is from section of the state
where they do things and his
ambition may 1eadto thegovernor' S
place, and if his ambition meets
with the spontaneous enthusiasm
his run for treasurer did, why il
will be Governor Smith.

Curious Apache Belief.

The Apache Indians religious belief
prevents them from committing MUIR
der in the dark. If a dozen Apaches
should discover man sleeping by his
campfire at night no amount of money
would hire them to attack him until
the sun came up. They believe that II
they kill a man at night their own
souls will walk in eternal darkness for
ever. Knowing this curious supersti-
ton. hunters. scouts, trappers and 9th
ers travelling through the Apache ma
ton in the old days moved about dur
ing the night and lay by in some safe
retreat during the day.

Swift meteors become visible at an

meteors those that become visible al

Bacon and the Fishers.
In "Aubrey's Lives this quaint story
is told of Lord Bacon: His lordship,
being in the garden looking on fishers
as they were throwing their nets. asked
them what they would take for their
catch. They answered so much. His
lordship would offer them not so much
They drew up their net, and in it were
only two or three little fishes. He then
told them it had been better for them
to have taken his offer. They replied
they hoped for better draft. but, said
his lordship. Hope is good breakfast,
but an i'll supper
He Didn't fell.
The lawyer for the defense found it
necessary to weaken the testimony Of
the main witness for the prosecution.
"Mr. Skybo," he said, proceeding to
cross examine him. did you ever live
on the seacoast?"

WHAT OTHERS SAY

A boom has been quietly started
for Walter Smith for governor two
years hence. The young treasurer
is rapidly becoming the most
popular man in the building, by
reason of his winning smile and
strong personality. In this respect
he greatly resembles the late
Governor John A. Johnson. If
Smith makes good as treasurer, as
he undoubtedly will, and desires
the executive Office some of the
wise ones had best watch out.
Smith smilingly protests that he
knows nothing of the political
game but some of the old timers
say that he can give them the
entire deck and then grab the jack
pot in any old game under the
political awning Owantonna

BARRED OUT
BY WALT MASON.

1 have heard tale of a cheerful
skate who died and went to the
pearly gate, and asked if he might
go in. St. Peter said: well, I
like your looks, but I'll have to
hunt through my set of books, and
see if you're charged with sim. ;"
He pulled his ledgers and day
books down. and looked them
through with growing frawn,
and muttered: Your name is
Pance; you didn't swear and you
didn't lie, and you didn't smoke or
dance. You passed through life
with a high renown, and you cut
much grass in your native town
as my books do plainly show; but
you had one habit that makes me
tired; to outer darkness you must
be fired, and down with goats you
go. Your wife was ever patient
soul, and though you carried big
fat roll, she always was busted
fiat; she had to beg and she had to
hint to pull PUNK from your fist
of flint, whenever she wished hat.
You sent long green to the heather
guys because you thought it would
advertise the piety of your soul but
your wife must get on her marrow
ones, always you filled the house
with means, whenever you drew
your roll. So chase yourself to the
dread abode where the brimstone's
used by the wagon load and the
weather's always dry; man like
you in Our realm of grace would
jar the saints till they'd jump the
place, and start up another sky"

grinds out anti-Minnesota logic to
its bewhiskered constituents. Tax
alton by sections seems to be its

to be the taxation of St. Louis

According to the Ely Miner the
people of the Vermilion desire a
county of their own. We don t
blame them. Today the Vermil-
ionities travel about one hundred
and fifty miles to get to the county
seat of St. Louis county. and in
case of division with any one of the
Mesaba range towns as the county
seat would be in much the same
predicament as are the Mesaba
range towns with Duluth as the
county seat-a distance of about
seventy-fve miles from the seat of
government. Get into the game

Colo. in September of last year and
the next will be at Pittsburg Pa,
in 1913. Two years ago the 10th
anniversary was celebrated in this
city.
A great manv changes in the
society were ordered at the last
convention among other being the
complete changing of the organiza-
ions book work and accounting
system, more accurate and sirnpli-
fed reports to headquarters from
subordinate officers and a change
all around.
This task has entailed an ex-
ceptional amount of work on the
part of the Grand Secretary,
George L. Brozich, and his
assistants. This work is now in
the last stages and the accounting
system when completed will be one
of the best in existence. Mr..
Brozich has hell his present office
for the past seven years and so
efficient are his services that he is
reelected without opposition at
each succeeding convention.
Grand Treasurer, John Gouze,
has held his position for the past
eleven years, his constantre-election
to this honored place being proof
in itself as. to his fitness for the
Office. Only on one occasion did
Mr.. Gouze have opposition and
at that time won out with hands
down.
The officers of the South Slavonic
Catholic Union are as follows and
by reading over the list it can be
seen that the society draws from
several states in the Union for its
officers:
Prest.-John A. Germ, Brad
dock, Pa.
Vice Prest.-John Primosich,
Eveleth.
Secretary,-Geo. L. Brozich,
Ely.
Asst. Sec'y-Michael Mravins,
Omaha, Neb.
Treas.-John Gouze, Ely.
Attorney-Frank Medosh, Chi
cago.
Medical Examiner-Dr. Martin
J. Ivec. Joliet, Ill.
Trustees-Louis Kostells, Salida,
Colo, Michael Klobuchar, Calu-
met, Mich, Peter Spehar, Kansas
City, Kans.
Judiciary-John Kerzisnik
Burdine, Pa, Frank Gouze,
Chisholm, Mimi, Martin Roche
var, Pueblo, Colo.
The Grand officers have received
all kinds of praise for the careful
and efficient manner the society is
managed. The Insurance com.
missioner of Minnesota in his last
annual report paid the officers 6
great compliment by putting the
figures of maintenance of the
society at 4 per cent where some
expense accounts of similar orders
were listed as high as so per cent
The Union was the lowest on the
list.
