Then there is another kind of exaction
which is equally deadly to popularity,
and that is the supersensitiveness Of peo-
pie who are always complaining because
their friends do not treat them right.

friend" Such are the accusations with
which these people make their would-be
friends miserable. and as no one likes to
be made miserable 'would-be' is very
apt to be changed to "wouldnt-be."
1t is said that AtticLs, the Greek philos-
opher. was once asked how he kept his
friends SO WELL and that he answered: !:
Because l never expect anything OF

A Good Imitation.

Having the fringe attached to the wire,
one end-the top of the feather-must be
bent over in a curve to resemble the nat
ural curve in the real feathers: then. with
a heated curling iron-nearly every wom-
an has one. and if she is blessed with
naturally curly hair and does not need
one. it can be bought for a few cents at
any dry goods store-the ends of the
fringe are curled inward, just a little
way, and then shaken out until they are
fluffy and as near like the real feather as
1t is possible to make them appear.
There you are-the work is all finished,
and the feather of fringe Is ready to be
sewed on to your hat, where II will droop

A GOOD MINSTREL.

The minstrel show at the opera
house on Monday evening under the
auspices of the college athletic assoc
alton was one Of the best home talent
affairs ever given in Brookings, and a
packed house netted the association
a fine sum. The college boys were
materially assisted by Teddy Akin,
Frank Page, Cecil Skinner and Jack
Vrenegor, the first named being a
whole show in himself when it comes
to minstrel work. The first part OF
the show was handled by the minstrel
artists and there was some good vo-
cal numbers ~interspersed with good
comedy stunts and local hits. Frank
Page made a hit in THAT College
Rag" and Eugene Kelly's "My Baby
Rose was one of the best things of
the evening.
The first scene of the second act
was given over to the college girls,
assisted by one or two of the young
men, and their contribution to the
program was one of the enjoyable
features of the evening and made a
hit with the audience. The young
ladies who took part in this scene
were the Misses Cathcart, Kendall,
Lindskog, Erwin, Sherwin and Hub
bart. The second scene Of the act
was put up by the college boys and
was very good as a whole, although
it dragged somewhat at times.
The minstrel was put on to take the
place Of the usual carnival and it's
success this year will likely make it
an annual affair.

Wisconsin beet sugar interests are
planning an extension Of their opera

calities in both North and South Da-
kota are being studied by representa-
tives of the Wisconsin Sugar Com
pany, which operates five big plants
