MINNESOTA

minnesota is an American state
MI which has been borrowed by the
~ Norwegians with great success.
Owing to its steady and reliable winter
it has become the favorite life time re-
sort for these hardy people who raise
wheat, white whiskers and American
citizens with great fluency. Minnesota
now has over 100000 people, half of
whom have names ending in "son."
Minnesota is one Of the larger states,
having $1,000 square miles and a full
supply of square legislature. 1t has no
mountains but is so badly infested with
lakes in the northern part that the scat
tered farmers north of Duluth have TO
fence in their fields with fish nets. The
Mississippi river rises in one of these
lakes and flows over $50 miles through
the state before it becomes large enough
to act as a state line and a barrier
against presidential nominations.
Minnesota is densely settled in the
southern part and enjoys all the con
veniences of civilization including inter
urbans and golf clubs. But the northern
section is wild and covered with forests
which catch fire in the dry summers and
force the harassed citizens to wade out
into the lakes to their neclIs and stay
there for weeks at a time. Living in
northern Minnesota during the summer
is as exciting as living on Mt. Vesuvius
when it is resting uneasily.
Minnesota produces more wheat, iron
ore and light haired, blue-eyed statesmen
than any other commonwealth. 1t has a
state university which leads the world
nj the production of Clydesdale half
backs and has 5000 students all trained

Thrifty Yermonters object to visits to
Washington by parties OF high school
seniors, a spring festival which has in
terested several towns for several years,
because they say that the young people
start wrong when they save money for

instances, for the benefit of persons who

We haven't heard that complaint en-

they do not get enough for their money

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Richard earle Coming Next Tuesday in
Jumping Jupiter"

| At the Barre opera house on Tuesday,
/ April 10, Richard earle is seen in the
| latest of his musical comedies, for which
/ he finds the title of Jumping Jupiter.
I Mr.. earle is amusing after his own fash
! ion, and he brings along a company, the
! excellence of which is not lightly to be
overlooked Principal of these is Edna
Wallace Hopper, who sings very pleas
autly. wears some handsome gowns and
shows herself TO be pretty much of a
coincidence.
The piece tells an entertaining story
! OF skin doctor, whose wife is suffering
from the toothache. He is invited to a
wedding and accepts, leaving his better
half to fight the pains Of the throbbing
molar alone. The bridegroom for pur-
poses of his own, finds it convenient to
introduce a handsome young woman as
the wife OF the professor. Everything
seems to be running along smoothly I'M
til the professors wife Unexpectedly re-
covers, and joins her spouse.
This creates obvious embarrassing diff
ficulties, which are solved by the profes-
sor inducing his newly found wife to
pose as a maid
Mr. earle is the author of t&e piece,
ana has managed TO slip in great many
bright lines. although there also are a
few which are reminiscent.
There are many musical numbers, all
Of which are sung in catchy style. The
chorus is more than "up to snuff"
Striking costumes have been provided
and the ensembles are among the best
numbers in the production.
Scenieally, the piece leaves little to
be desired

One of the remarkable features of the
trend of national politics is the belief
that the Democratic party is splitting
up to such an extent that William Jen-
nings Bryan will be tine inevitable choice
of the national convention in Baltimore.
1t does seem that the contest between
Clark and Wilson viii be far closer than
that between Taft and Roosevelt; but
the Democratic party will be hard put

After Married People Settle Down.

H. G. Wells, in his story, Marriage
in the American Magazine, makes the
following comments on marriage;
And now, indeed. the Traffords were
coming to the most difficult and fatal
phase in marriage. They had had that
taste OF defiant adventure which is the
crown OF spirit love affair. they had
known the sweetness Of a maiden pas
sion for maid, and they had felt all
those rich and solemn emotions, those
splendid fears and terrible hopes that
weave themselves about the great part
nership in parentage. And now, so far
as sex was concerned, there might be
much joy and delight still, but no more
wonder. no fresh discoveries OF incredi-
bic new worlds and unsupported stars.
"For this, indeed. is the truth of pas
sionate love, that it works out its pur-
pose and comes to an end. A day ar
rives in every marriage when the lovers
must face each other. disillusioned,

The Telephone Girl.

The Telephone Glrl.
The telephone girl sits still in her chair
And listens to voices from everywhere.
She knows all the gossip, she knows all
the news,
She knows who is happy and who has
the blues;
She knows all our sorrows, she knows
all our Toys,
She knows all the girls who are "chas,
ing the boys.
She knows all our troubles, she knows Of
our strife,
She knows every man who talks mean
to his wife;
She knows every time we are ont with
the boys,
She knows the excuses that each fellow
employs
If the telephone girl told half that she
knows
1t would turn all our friends into bit
terest foes;
She would SOW a small wind that would
soon be gale,
Engllf us in trouble and land us in Jail.
She would start forth a story which,
gaining in force,
Would cause half our wives to sIe for
divorce.
She could get all our churches mixed up
in a fight
And turn our bright days into sorrow
ing night;
In fact, she could keep the whole town
in a stew
Ii she told but one tenth OF the things
that she knew
Say. Kid, but doesn't it make your head

FIRE LOSES In MouNTAIN HoTELs

Numerous instances in which the
smaller summer hotels in the White
mountains of New Hampshire are de-
stroyed by fire indicate the chances
which capital takes in investing its mon
ey in this kind of business. Many OF
the hotels are erected in sections remote
from villages And cities and SO are far
removed from municipal fire fighting
equipment, with the result that the hos
telries make easy prey for the flames,
unless the hotels have their own fire
companies and equipment. In most cases
the hotels are absolutely defensele3s.
Hence it is that we read frequently OF
the burning Of the buildings in various
sections of the mountain regions, wherJ
no fire apparatus is provided.
But if the hazard from fire be great,

and hope that in future instances the
same calm spirit viii prevail. although
we are somewhat sorry that the condi-

Still the time may not be far distant

themselves to eliminate this evil. As a
