KNEW Nothing Of sraln's Function.
Old writer's had no idea that the
brain had anything to do with the
mind. They associated the mind with
the heart or with other organs Of the
body. doubtless because these organs
are moved or affected by mental &C
ton. Aristotle, the best informed Of
the Greeks, said that the chief bust-
ness Of the brain was to cool the blood
for the heart

II it is the intention of Judge P. E.
Brown to resign from the state SUI
preme bench, no one in Luverne,
home of the judge, appears to know
anything of it. ..
Judge Brown is at present in Des

health. To his most intimate friends
in Luverne he has not animated his

no intention of resigning.
A few days ago The Minneapolis
Journal printed story to the effect
that Judge Brown was on the point
of resigning and Judge j. M. Quinn
of Fairmont would succeed him.
