Was Acting Strangely.

On January Is and l6 he was seen
in North Mankato and on both oc.
casions was acting strangely. Going
into Thomas Smiths store, he pur.
chased some crackers and cheese,
and gave a check for $4,000 in pay
ment. Soon afterward he was taken
in charge by the authorities but by
that time he was penniless. On be-
ing taken before Judge Henry Moll
on January II he was committed
TO the detention hospital under the
name of Skinner Wilson.
Search Was Instituted.
When the young man did not
reach Rochester his parents became
alarmed and instituted a search
which extended through all of the
principal cities. They discovered that
he had been seen at Mankato, and
then learned of his being taken TO
st. Peter and committed. Authori.
ties at the state hospital have made
recommendation TO the state board
, of control that he be turned over to
the South Dakota officials and be
taken TO that state.

he was in Mankato.

Doggone the Thing, Anyway!

At recent meeting of the Board
of Supervisors of Claiborne county
proposition to tax dogs was de-
feated, only one member voting
for it. Another mem Der said such
tax would offend the negroes to
such an extent that they would
leave the county. "The question
of taxing dogs in Mississippi seems
to be delicate one," says the Can
ton Herald. "Men who uncom-
plainingly pay all other taxes, kick
against paying tax on dogs, and
many men claiming to be too poor
to hire cook, pay more monthly
for dog feed to be cooked by their
wives than the salary of a cook
would amount to. Verify, the way
of man with dog is doggoned
hard proposition to comprehend.

become the leader of a crowd,

Influence of Habit.

1t may be supposed by some
that the soul is just as big, and as
warm and as sympathetic as its
Divine Creator made it, and that
nothing the individual man or
woman may or can do will expand
or enlarge it. That is a mistake.
1t is just as much a mistake as it
would be to say that nothing one
NAV or can do will have influence
in making the physical body
healthful, normal and strong.

if we were only somewhere else
and that we would do better il

place that someone else is filling,
the work that someone else is doing
looks easy and comfortable CON-
pared with our own. But, if we
would only stop to think one min.

Every one knows that the habits
of man or woman have much to
do with bodily comfort and
strength. Many a man who is
endowed with strong physique,
has made of himself a weakling,
often a physical and mental wreck,
by his habits of intemperance.
When the term intemperance is
used in this connection, it means
intemperance in eating or intem-
perance in drinking, intemperance
in the qualification of the lusts of
the flesh, intemperance in any.

slavery of habit may deceive him.
self and presume that he is having
a good time. But he will not have
to live very many years to find out
that his good time is lacking in
the quality of longevity, it will be
short lived, says the Knoxville
journal and Tribune. And when
his capacity for enjoyment has
been pinched, shriveled and robbed
of the essence of life by the frosts
and the storms of time, he is likely
to become of all men the most

Following the Crowd.

That's why there are crowds.
1t requires neither exertion,
originality nor stamina to follow
the crowd. Each individual is like
a chip floating down stream with
the current.
1t is the man who stands by
himself, who tries to force his way
against the crowd, who does
things differently from his fell
lows, who must have stamina and
originality, who must exert to the
utmost his efforts if he would sue
ceed. But it is the man who does
these things who really counts.
The man in the crowd has no
individ uality. He is one of
mass, moving without conscious
thought or voluntary volition,
creature of circum instances carried
where the whim of the mass leads
him. Of his own volition he does
nothing. The leader wills and he
follows.
But the man who stands alone
or who attempts to sway the crowd
must exercise to the utmost every
faculty. He meets with opposition
at every step which must be over
come. Because he is different
from the crowd, be is styled a
crank or egotist, scoffed at as a
dreamer of chimerical visions and
an impractical reformer. 1t is
said of him that he stands aloof
to attract attention by his isolation,
that he seeks notoriety by eccen-
tricity. In short, the sneers and
gibes which are hurled at the man
who is different, are multitu-
dinous and varied.
Yet it is the man who is differ
,ent who wins. Tt is unnecessary
to cite historical instances to prove
the truth of this assertion. History
bristles with confederation, but SO
does local environment. 1t is nee
essary only to look about you, at
the men in your own state, your
own country, your own neighbor-
hood, to gain evidence of the man

POLITICAL PARTIES IN CHINA

According to the Manila Cahlenews, political parties, which are slow of growth in many countries, grow like the proverbial mushroom, and flourish like the bay tree in China. They were fully fledged and ready for pickings when the national assembly organized. At once they began ma neuvering for position. They have neglected no opportunity to attempt to make party capital by methods familiar to Americans.
 The Cablenews, viewing events at close range, says:
 Because of the incessant strife lit tie or nothing has been accomplished sa far by the national assembly eX- cept to demonstrate that the members are thoroughly conVersant with the latest and most approved methods of defeating the will of the majority The Kuomingtangs gaining the as ccndancy, the opposition at once re- sorted to dilatory tactics chiefly dis tinguished by a continuous uprOar that made business in the assembly next to impossible.

 Vice President Marshall looked fine and said that he never felt better in his life while Mrs. Marshall was in the same good health and spirits she enjoyed on her former trip to the state. The MarshalIs expect and hope that they will be able to stay in the state until at least the Yuletde, but fear that they may be called to Washington any time.
 At the fair grounds the vice pres ident and his family will be the guests of Governor Hunt who will show them over the exhibits and will entertain them in his box during the races and other grandstand enter tainments
