The spelling mutilators, a set of
cranks whose aim is to destroy the
beauties of English orthography, are
at work again, and, more IS the pity.
some teachers are attempting to in
troduce the so-called reformed"
method into the public schools. Mu-
tilated spelling is an abomination
which should not be countenanced by
school boards: it is a trayesty on the
best authority on orthography in the
World-Webster's dictionary. Teach
ers who instruct their pupils to spell

A few bull-moose emissaries were
in Fargo last week for the purpose
of prevailing upon insurgent republi-
cans in convention assembled to
merge with the so-called party which
they represented, but the insurrectos
refused to consider the proposition
they decided that the bullmoosers
would prove an incumbrance rather
than a benefit. The followers of
Theodorus the Has-Been, who are
reduced to a mere corporal's guard,
seem particularly anxious to ally
themselves with some party or other,
and we presume that they would be
satisfied even we're the socialists to
consent to take them into camp.

Al men who cast their ballots for
Wilson is candidate for office, and
that when the plums are distributed
there will be an army of l2l, 600
heartsick patriots who are willing
to sacrifice their valuable time to
their beloved country and assist in
its reformation for mere monetary
consideration. 1t is to be regretted
that these would-be saviors of the
country cannot be placed in positions
where they would have an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate their ability
as reformers. The turning down of
all these patriots is very likely to
have the effect of deciding the great
majority of them to slide into the
republican or some other party ere
the next presidential election rolls
round. There is no one more dan
gerous than a disappointed patriot
to the party which gives him the
cold shoulder.

SoIie person living in West Duluth

Among the meanest and most des-

take advantage of a calamity, such
as that which has overtaken Ohio
and other states, to double the price

press reports, this has been done by
the merchants of indianapolis.
Vampires of this stripe are not

John Pierpont Morgan, the great
est of American financiers, died in
Rome: ITALY, on Monday after week
of severe illness. With the excep-
tion. perhaps, Of the Rothschilds,
Morgan was the greatest fnancier of
the world. He has been criticised.
like all men who have achieved sue
cess, but in many instances this cri-
ticism has been unjust. What would
this country have done had not Mr..
Morgan came to the relief of the
government in 1S93-during the
Cleveland administration
financial panic was upon us in it's
worst form? At that time the Nor
ganBelmont syndicate entered into
a contract with the government to
supply it with s65, III, 500 in gold in
return for s62,317, 500 3O-year 3 per
cent bonds, and in less than a month
it had it's payments in progress.
Consequently it was through Nor
gan, when the United States treas
ury was in shaky and depleted con-
dition, that confidence was restored.
While Morgan was probably a grasper
of gold, he has proven himself
friend in need to the great American
republic.

Many diplomat has refused to ac-
cept an ambassadorship for the rea-
son that he was not sufficiently
wealthy to stand the strain: The
United States pays ambassadors a
beggar]y salary while their expenses
at the courts of royalty are enor~
nous. They are expected to repre-
sent their country in a becoming
manner-to give elaborate parties
and receptions-while they are paid
scarcely sufficient to cover the ex-
pense of house rent. While the
honor conferred in United States
ambassadorship is great, the man
who accepts such position must
necessarily be wealthy and willing to
spend his money lavishly for the sake

STORIES OF SHERIDAN.
The Great Writer Had a Hard Time
Dodging His Creditors.

Like many a brilliant man before
and since his time, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan had habit of resting on his
oars a bit too long when he thought
himself tired. Then, finding himself
short of money, he would borrow. This
habit increased with his years, and,
moreover, his efforts to discharge his
obligations grew less and less His
reputation at last was such that trades
men demanded cash on delivery
Benjamin Robert Haydon, who was
himself woefully addicted to the same
bad habit, tells with evident glee two
stories of his fellow sufferer.
A butcher one day brought leg Of
mutton to Sheridan's house. The cook
took it, put it into the kettle, and went
upstairs for the money. AS she stayed
away some time, the man entered the
kitchen, took off the cover of the
kettle, ished out the joint and walked
off with it.
But the laugh was not always on
Sheridan. A creditor whom he had
successfully avoided for some time
came plump upon him as he emerged
from Pail Mall. There was no posi-
bility Of lodging, but Sheridan cid not
lose his presence of mind.
"Oh," said he, ''that's a beautiful
mare you're on!'
"D'ye think sop
Eyes, indeed. How does she trot?"
The creditor was pleased-even fiat
tered. He told Sheridan he should see
and Immediately urged the mare to do
her prettiest But long before the
animals best pace was reached, Sher-
idan had turned again into Pail Mall
and was lost in the crowd.-Exchange

Floyd and Claude Allen, father

at Richmond, Va, for shooting up

termination Tests

A great variation is found in the
terminating qualities Of seed from
the same locality according to tests
made at the state agricultural exper-
iment station. A sample of wheat
grading No. l hard shows a germi-
nation test of 80 per cent, sample
of No. durum only shows 65 pe1
cent, a sample of barley shows SO pei
cent and another sample from the
same locality only shows 80 per cent.
1t would therefore seem of great i'm
portance that every producer OF
grain should, before seeding, apply a
termination test to all grain he in.

President Wilson is experiencing

MEATNESS IN ATTIRE.
1t Not Only lmpresses Others, but Is a
Factor In Self Respect.

FACTOR IN Self respect.
The fixed habit Of presenting always
neat and cleanly appearance to the
world is sure of a double reward. It
not only creates a favorable impress
sion, but begets a sustaining self re-
spect. It is scarcely reasonable of
man who does not respect himself to
look for much consideration from
others, 1t is not the cost of clothing,
but the scrupulous care of it that
counts. The man of slender means
should be neither "toppy'' nor sloppy"
but always tidy and neat in his attire,
seeing himself with the coldly critical
eye of a possible employer to whom
an applicants dress may mean much
more than his address or politest de-
pertinent
Style in writing, as defined by the
fastidious Chesterfield, is the dress Of
thoughts, so the true style of the aver
age man may be correctly surmised
from the care he takes Of his personal
appearance. He needs not be finiclzy,
but should always be free of grease
spots and dust. He should like his
bath even if it has to be taken by
means of bucket. He should never
neglect to brush his hair, his shoes,
his teeth. his coat, trousers and hat.
If he can't afford pressing iron he
should put coat and trousers under the
mattress and sleep upon them. Il
laundry is a serious item. he should
wash his own handkerchiefs, dry them
on the window panes and never by any
chance be seen with a soiled one
