w that we se'p must S learn sr'' fPo% our uP
elders.
Heaven help us If we confine our les
sons in life to instructions from those
whose years are more, for we will miss
the more valuable teachings of child
hood
Notice the little children in their
play. One has a dolls go-cart; if it
has three wheels or four makes no diff
ference to the happiness of the owner.
Another has battered doll, another
the remnants of a china toy tea set,
and another drags a discarded starch
box, which is to be the banquet table.
They do not throw these precious be-
lpngings away and stare sourly and
enviously at a child who has been ia
vored with more The knowledge that
the child in the next yard has new
doll that cries and winks, a real little
table and chairs and a complete set Of
dishes, makes their JOY none the less
They play like" their crippled doll
has its full complement of arms and
legs. If a cup must serve also as a
cream pitcher their powers of magma
ton see the cream pitcher on the table.
Given powers of imagery a poet may
we'll envy, they behold with the eye of
the mind all that their little hearts de-
sire and are happy.
A Valuable Lesson.
They play like" the kitchen aprons
they drape around their waists are
long velvet trains; they play like" the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are Ice cream and cake, and they
play like" everything broken and old is
whole and new. and their ability to
play like" this from morning to night
has a lesson more valuable than we
could learn from the oldest, and wisest
seer
We must learn from childhood to
cover defects with the beauties Of
Imagination.
We must learn when compelled to
wear a suit a sea son too long to play
like" it is new; we must play Xix ."
everything old and worn and sordfd is
beautiful and just what we like. We
must be children again, and find the
power of happiness lies not in material
possessions but in the possession of an
optimistic imagination.
There is no other way to be happy.

YOUR COUSIN is WRONG.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am infatuated with a young
lady, One evening I invited her to
go to a place of amusement with
me and she refused. l decided to
go alone, and when 1 arrived she
was there with another gentleman.
l think she loves me very much. In
fact. l know she does. as a cousin
of mine who lives next door to her
told me So But every time l ask
her to go out with me she refuses
ard if any other fellow asks her
she goes with him. GERALD NJ.
Your good sense should tell you you
cousin is no authority. The girl doe
not care for YOU! Begin your sieg
to her heart with that In mind.
If she continues to refuse your at
tentions withdraw them for a while
That may awaken her interest in you

You've heard a woman say:

Ou We uCdIu d WOLldll Sdy:
This waist has worn terribly. I've
only washed it couple of times and it's
falling to pieces.
Clothes cost too much nowadays to be
worn out in the wash, ito be boiled and
scalded until the life is gone out of the
fabric-and then rubbed to shreds on the
dashboard.
You must use the soap that preserves
the fabrics -FelS-Naptha.
Use it the Fels-Naptha way-in cool
or lukewarm water, with no hard rubbing
You'll get through the days wash in ore
half the time and with much less effort
And your clothes will look whittier and
fresher than you ever saw them before
Follow the directions on the red and green
wrapper. Use any time of year.

The simplest form of divorce in the
world is that practiced by the Piute
tribe of Indians in Nevada All that
buck" or a 'squaw'' has to do when
either wants a separation is to tender
to the other party the sum of $35. That
is all that is necessary as evidence of
dissatisfaction, and the tender is rarely
refused. Why the offer is exactly that
amount can not be learned. 1t is one Of
the unexplained and unwritten laws OF
the tribe.
The death has just occurred at Red
ding, Cal of a man named John Broad
hurst, who lived for two months with
out stomach and never knew it was
missing. Broadhurst, who was an en-
CINE driver, was taken TO the hospital
suffering from malignant growth.
Through an operation his stomach was
removed, and not to discourage the pa
tient, the surgeons did not inform him
of the nature of the operation.
Signor Crotta, the station master at
Sicignano, near Naples. specialized one
franc at weekly lottery, and now finds
himself in consequence the lucky win
ner of 100000. on learning the good

graph to the directorate of the state
railways his resignation. He is a mar
ried man, and has a daughter who is a
local schoolmistress. Crotta Is also

gamble on four numbers which she re-
Vealed to him, all of which eventually
proved lucky ones.

Ratio, Saturday Night.

Ratio can give an audience more
humor than the average funny man
without tiring them. because he gives
you so many different styles of it.
For instance, he starts out by say
ing America is the greatest nation
on earth because it is nation of
nations. I"
Here we get the good of the Irish f;
the good of the German; the good of
the Swede. the English and the Scotch
all assembled in one.
First he takes up the Irish and while
he tells some story about this nation
afity, be makes up his character and
ia full view Of the audience. He
finishes the story and makeup at
about the same time, and turns to
the audience with the wig on and
they get a sketch in Irish dialect.
He does the same with the German,
the Swede, the italian, the English
man, etc.

Mustinka Appropriation Valid.

Last Fridays Minneapolis Journal
contained the following dispatch from
Wheaton relative to the Mustinka
ditch suit -
'The Mustinka state ditch damage
suit was finished late last night. The
drainage board was unable to get any
evidence introduced and there was no
rebuttal. Judge Flaherty will make
findings upholding the law. The re-
suit is very gratifying to the people
here. No appeal will be taken by
the state, it is thought.
''The case was entitled Alfred And
erson, VS.. A. o. Eberhart, Julius
Schmadl and S. G. Iverson. The
people of Traverse county were repre-
sented by Senator Edward Rustad and
F. w. Murhhy of Wheaton and Thomas
Kneeland of Minneapolis. Assistant
Attorney General A. L. James ap-
peared for the drainage board. The
action involved $35, 900 appropriated
by the last legislature to aid in deep
ening and widening the outlet to the
Mustinka river by the state drainage
commission. The attorney general
ruled that the act was unconstitutIon-
al, being an internal improvement.
The contention of Traversec ounty was
that the state ditch into Mustinka
river, built in 1896, carried a large
amount of water into the river that
otherwise would go into Otter Tail
and Wilkin counties. thereby overflow
ing some 5000 acres of fertile land
along the banks of the Mustinka and
reducing its value from $40 an acre
to SIS. in other words, that the ap-
preparation was not for an internal
improvement but to remedy a wrong
created by the state when the Mus
tinka ditch was dug ten years ago.
San act similar to the point in
volved in this case was vetoed by
Governor John A. Johnson on the
ground that it was unconstitutional. -

county board authority to appropriate
sum of money large enough to cover
all legitimate expenses of county

sum as admission to the grounds dur
ing the fair. This matter was some
what discussed, but no action was
taken.
A resolution was adopted express
ing the request that the executive
