King Arthur's hoy Scouts.

FROM the Snfntlan Herald.
When good King Arthur ruled, boy,
were trained for knighthood. Thi.
began when they were seven or eight
years OF age. Their first course was when
they gave seven or eight years Of con.
slant attendance and waiting upo a mas
ter or mistress. They were taught reli-
gion and morals and love by the chaplain.
They were taught to walk like soldiers,
and to ride as brave hunters. They were
accustomed to military exercises and ath
letic sports. They voluntarily suffered
heat and cold, hunger and thirst, ia
tisue and sieeplessness in order that they
might become hardened When between
fifteen and sixteen years Of age the
pages" became "squires' and in the or.
dinary course Of a chivalrous education
'knighthood" was reached in early man
hood. There Is much in the Boy Scout
movement Of today that reminds us of the
training for knighfhood. The solemn
promise made by Boy Scout at his in.
itiation is II viii be friend to every liv.
ing creature. man or beast, and q brother

THE N. p. REORGANIZATION.

; Very favorable comments are ex-
pressed locally over the reported
changes that are to be made in the re-
organization of the Northern Paciic's
head officials, following the resignation
of President Elliott. The people of his
part Of North Dakota are specially in
terested in the Northern Pacific as the
future growth and prosperity Of the
southern part of the state Is bound up
in a large measure in the policy Of
that road.
The n. P. has gained a great deal in
the estimation of the public under the
splendid regime of President Elliott
and it is the general belief in railroad
and shipping circles here that Clough,
run the road along the same success
'ful lines followed by Elliott.
Speaking Of the change The st. Paul
Dispatch comments:
If the reports from New York are
confirmed by the official action of the
board Of directors, the change at the
! Northern Pacific is to be accomplished
with a minimum of friction. 1t has the
! appear CllSS VI q NlNI ice pI OpOSl-
ton, based on the merit system. Vice
President Clough continues to repre-
sent the company in the east promoted
to the position of chairman of the
board, following the new line Of most
railroad organizations, While Vice
President Hannaford becomes presi-
dent. a. directly in line in point pf
service and efficiency, and George r.
Slade enters upon the vacant vice
presidency. This disposition will ap-
peal to the interested public as the
natural n logical one and will tend
to the serenity and security of the en-
ployes who make up the railway army.
New York advices are in error. how
ever. in referring to the new plan in
'a~ugurated by the New Haven system
Of creating the office Of chairman Of
the board" Such a system has been
in operation on western roads for a
long period and vas not entirely new
when James J. Hill assumed tina Of
fee in retiring from the presidency Of
the Great Northern. 1t is one Of the
many western systems adopted by the
east as a part Of the evolution Of rail-
ways.

Daddy 5 Bedtime
C. How the
V- Corn Plant
Came TO Earth.

- AcK and Evelyn climbed on daddyhs knee It was time for the story
to begin, and this was what daddy said: -
"Long ago the Indians had nothing to eat but the game which they
@N got In hunting or the fish they caught from the stream.
"n this far of time there lived In a beautiful part OF the country a poor
Indian with his wife and his children '
This Indians eldest son, a lad named Wunz, loved to wander in the
woods studying the flowers and plants that grew there

He knows how you wish to help every one, and he means to help you'
Then the young man told Wunz to rise and wreste with him, for it was
only by overcoming him he could win. Wunz rose, and they wrestled, but the
stranger soon overcame him. A
1.-THE next night the stranger came back and again they wr@led, and
though Wunz was again beaten he did better than on the night before
1.-THE third night the stranger again entered the door,
"You have struggled bravey' said he to Wunz Att last you shall win.

PRINCIPLE AND PENCE,

The state of Louisiana continues to
occupy a position in the limelight be-
cause of the wrangle over free sugar.
Perhaps the truth is, however, that
the state in question is not winning
sympathy because. as its representa-
tiYes in washington aver, one of it's
great industries is threatened with
destruction, but is making itself meas
urab1y contemplate by affording the
most conspicuous example Of demo-
cratic insincerity says The st. Louis
Times.
From washington comes word to
the effect that Senator Thornton of
louisiana will not vote for the new
tariff bill, because Of its free sugar
features. 1t is also stated that Sem
ator Ransdell, the other Louisiana
senator. will also announce a SIM
mar attitude within a few days.
These gentlemen, 1t is said arc
pledged to their constituents to vote
against the removal OF the duty on
sugar.
But what do the senators and the
people of Louisiana think III their at
situde iii connection with the very
fundamentals OF democratic belief9
Their ren1onstrance amounts to q con
2ession that they disbelieye in reduced
tariff rates, when such reductions

touch their own protected Industries.
| They say in effect, chit the other fell
low for the good of a high principle:
but keep your hands off us for the
sake of our pockets"
The people of Louisiana ought to
know that every commonwealth has
some special industry to which it
looks for the maintenance Of its larger
activities. Shall each democratic
state gather its own chickens under
it's wings and leave all the other
chickens out in the cold?
There is. a current story which has
to do with Sen. Joe Robinson Of
Arkansas. Arkansas has discovered
that 1t has certain first-class rice
lands. Certain chambers of commerce
in Arkansas recently got together and
wired Senator Robinson: What are
you going to do about the duty on
rice?" To which the Arkansas SEN
ator replied: I'm going to vote in
the interest of the 90 0 900 people of
the United States" .
This is the true democratic spirit.
1t cannot be proved that the removal
of the protective tariff will benefit the
country, when the final balances are
struck. But it is quite plain that the
democratic statesmen in Washington
ought either to stick manfully to their
principles-or else admit that their
creed is impracticable and false.

party generally to drive the govern

ed, as is well understood among the
ministerialists, who now think there
will be no dissolution until 1915, unless
something unforeseen occurs.
Following the second rejection of the
home rule for Ireland bill by the house
of lords, Sir Edward Carson is again
stamping Ulster, sbut Orange enthusi-
asm for civil war is rapidly dying
down. Carson, according to his friends,
is utterly sickened by the situation,
and especially by the apathy with
which England has received his Or

the worst that can happen is some
rioting in Belfast and two or three
by the police. His only hope is that
the military may mutiny, but that idea
is ~repudiated Indignantly by the SOL
diers themselves.

Ulster were TO revolt, the government
could blockade the port of Belfast, cut
off railway communication with the

Reproduce color Photoaraphs,

Literary Digest: A device, invented
by Vancamps of Paris, that admits of
indefinite duplication of color photo
graphs, is described in The Bibli-
otheque Universale (Lausanne, Switzer-
land,) as follows:
THE. beginning is the normal be-
ginning of all things Photographic
namely, an exposure. This is done by
electric highland three negatives are
taken of the subject-one through a
violet screen, a second through a green
and the third through an orange These
three negatives are exactly superpos-
able, n all are In black and white;
but the lights and shades are differ
emily placed, the plates having been
made by different colored lights. The
negatives furnish three positives in
color on gelatin paper. Mr.. 'Vancamps
has invented a colored gelatin paper
yellow, red AND blue, the complement
airy colors to those of the screens.
Without this paper the process would
not be possible.
THE three, rpositives are blue, red
and yellow. The yellow paper is used
with the negative taken through the
violet screen, the red with that taken
through the green screen, and, finally,
the blue with the product of the Or
ange screen. These p~ositives, are
made by placing the paper in contact
with the negative and exposing it to
electric light. This likes the colored
matter in the gelatin where the mega
tive allows it to pass. Washing re-
moves the color that has not been fixed
by the right. Thus there are three
positives-blue, yellow and red. in
which each color has it's own distribu-
ton, the relation of light and shade
being different.
ITO obtain the totalized positive
print. it is necessy, as might be an
ticipated. to combine the three colored
prints. This is done by detaching the
gelatin films from the paper and
supervising them exactly on another
sheet. This is all. The gelatin being
very thin, and the colors very trans
parent, the eye sees each of the prints
through the others and the effects melt
together. $500 ~ US.

a very hot place in the summer, a he'll

There the helmet is a necessity. A
