Friends of nearly a dozen popular
young ladies of Stevens county have
entered their favorites in the Stevens
county fair Queen contest and inci-
dentally have started them on the way
toward honor and such coveted prizes
as diamond ring, gold watch. free
trip to the Corn and Alfalfa ExpOsi-
tion at Benson and another free trip
to Minneapolis with complete wint-
er outfit added.
The names of the favorite young
women, each of whom have been given
1000 votes will be found at the head
of this article. Most of them have
not yet been informed of their friends
actions and consequently have not
solicited preferment in any way. The
contest thus we'll started however,
gives promise of keen competition and
considerable excitement. 1t will be
considered entirely good form for the
young ladies and all of their friends
to solicit votes between now and the
last day of the Stevens county fair
when the ballots will be counted and
the most popular young lady crowned
queen of Stevens county and named
as the county candidate in the larger
contest for Queen of the West Central
Minnesota Corn and Alfalfa Exposi-
tion to be held at Benson, November
26. -27, and 28th.
The voting will not be confirmed to
thoseAwho have already been entered
in the contest but is open to any young
lady between the ages. of 15 and $50
living in Stevens county. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be many more
candidates and that the total number
of votes cast will be so large that the
Stevens county candidate will have a
good start toward being elected queen
of the district
Anyone buying a season or a one
day ticket to the county fair, or buy
ing subscription to any of the Ste
vens county papers will be entitled to
one vote for each cent expended.
The season ticket and, the newspaper
subscriptions will entitle the pur-
chaser to the largest number of votes
and are therefore expected to be the
most popular among all classes of peo-
pie who have favorite young ladies.
Last year the other counties Of the
district royalty supported this COM
munity in it's successful effort at
putting on the first Corn and Alfalfa
Exposition. This year the people of
Stevens county will be expected to
reciprocate and the present contest
will be, the first step toward arousing
interest in this years big event.

Humorous department.

Only a Minor Difference.-An artist
relates that a newly betrothed lover
commissioned him to paint a certain
secluded nook in the rocks on the
shore, because there he had declared
his passion.
The picture was painted but before
it was done the lover said to the ar
tist:
"Of course, l will see you through
on that picture. but our engagement Is
off. and naturally, it would be painful
lv suggestive to me. If you can sell II

picture and be extremely obliged be-

but quickly recovered his selt-posses-

Expensive Flowers.-The converse
ton in a Washington club turned 10
flowers the other night, when CON
gressman James L. Slayden OF IeXas'
unfurled a gentle smile. He said ne
was reminded of the declartion OF a
certain Mr.. Smith.
Smith was walking through the SUD-
urbs with a friend one afternoon, when
thew came to a house where the gar
dener was doing the spring planting.
For a moment they stood and watched
the work. speaking Of flowers" re-
marked Smith as the pair passed on
down the street, Il doubt If anything
along that line is quite so expensive as
sweet peas"
Sweet peas" wonderingly returned
the other. Il didn't know they were
so very expensive"
"Oh, yes was the positive re)oinoer

Make a Noise.

A hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg she
cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got lot of intellect
to show,
But none the less, most good roosters
have enough good common sense to
crow.
The mule. the most despised of beasts,
has a persistent way
OF letting people know he's around by
his persistent bray
The busy bees buzz, bulls below and
COWS moo.
And watch dogs bark, and ganders
quack, and doves and pigeons COO.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
that nature could devise,
Will often stop and hesitate before
he'll ADVERTISE

The diamond, birthstone Of April,
signifies purity, maintains peace and
dispenses storms. The emerald dis
covers false friends and insIres true
love. The garnet is significant Of con-
stancy and fidelity Jasper speaks Of
wisdom and courage. The moonstone
is considered lucky stone, while the
opal, the October birthstone, Is un-
lucky-portending injury and mental
or physical trouble.
Purity and innocence are signifed
by the pearl. The ruby, which is the
July birthstone, discovers poisons and
corrects evils arising from mistaken
friendship. The sapphire frees from
enchantment and denotes repentance.
The sardonyx is a token Of married
happiness. The topaz, November
birthstone is indicative Of fidelity and
friendship and prevents bad dreams.
The December birthstone, the tur-
quoise, signifies prosperity in love.
Custom and superstition have even
attached a significance to the day Of
ones birth, for the old rhyme has it
that:
Mondays child is fair Of face
Tuesdays child is full Of grace;

WooING OF THE FRESHMAN

WOulO INOt wv 'o' an
and He Won.
The Irishman is traditionally an
adept in coaXing and cussing No ton
que can equal his in varied and pictur-
esque denunciation of an enemy; none
can so irresistibly wheedle a sweet
heart.
True, the English of an earlier gen.
Grafton, crude and tongue-tied lovers,
who never kissed the Blarney stone,
were wont to proclaim the Irishman as
tickle as he was fascinating. But that
ancient calumny scarcely survives to-
day; it is an Englishman, E. K. Oak
ley, who, in a recent article on Irish
Courtships," eulogizes appreciatingly
the superiority of the Irish peasant
lover, with his play Of wit and fancy,
in comparison with the stolen stupidi-
ty of the English rustic wooer, or the
cheap sophistication Of the cockney
AIRY and Arriet."
Even in the disconcerting moment Of
rejection the Irishman retires with
grace-sometimes with a grace that
turns defeat to victory. Through a
hawthorn hedge in May, I had the
eavesdropper's guilty pleasure Of over
hearing an idyl in the lane on the far
ther side. Maureen had evidently just
said mo- to Shaun.

but, och, Maureen, acushla, why

SOME OLD IDEAS
The Symbolism of coIors, Jewels, etc.
as Conceived by Ages.

The Symbolism of CoIors, Jewels, ETC.,
as Conceived by Ages.
From ages of associations and race
experiences, the minds Of men have
come to attach various symbolic mean
ings to the colors with which they
have become acquainted, says the
Pathfinder, just as superstitious be-
liefs have developed and in much the
same manner as folk stories, myths
and racial traditions have grown up. In
some cases the connection between
the color and the symbolism attached
to it is plain and obvious, and in 9TH
ers it is obscure and remote, but
study Of these colors and the things
and qualities which they are under
stood to signify is no less interesting.
White, has a religious meaning and
signifies purity, innocence, faith, JOY
and life. Red, especially in the ruby,
signifies fire, divine love, heat of the
creative power and royalty; in po-
ltical sense it is the color adopted by
revolutionists. Blue, characterized by
the sapphire, suggests heaven. the
armament, truth of celestial origin,
constancy and fidelity. Yellow, the
golden color, symbolizes the sun, tn
goodness of God, of marriage and
faithfulness Green, as eXemplified in
the emerald, speaks of the spring OF
hope, particularly of the hope of i'm
mortality and of victory. The laurel
and the palm are often mentioned and
used as signifying these things. Love
and truth, or passion and suffering
are signifed by violet and the
amethyst Purple and scarlet tell OF
things good and true which have ce-
lestial origin. Black everywhere is
symbolic Of despair, darkness, earth
illness, mourning, negation, wicked
ness and death.
In like manner special sentiments
have been attached to the various
flowers and combinations of flowers.
but their significance is more or less
arbitrary and difficult to understand.
The ancients attributed marvellous
properties to many precious stones
and gems and it is still customary
among lovers and friends, in making
birthday. engagements and wedding
presents. to notice the significance at
tached to the various stones.
The agate, which is the birthstone
of those born in June. is regarded as
insuring health, long life and prosper
ity. The amethyst, the February birth
stone, is considered a preventive of
violent passions. The beryl signifies
everlasting youth and happiness. The
bloodstone, the birthstone of those
born in March, is taken to guarantee
steadfast affection, courage and wis
dom. The carnalian, which, with the
emerald, presides over the destinies Of
those born in May, is a preventive Of
misfortune.

ing;
Thursdays child works hard for its

Those who happen to have been
born on a day for which the verse
prophesies good fortune may take
whatever comfort and satisfaction
they are able to derive from that fact,
but those who are less fortunate
should give themselves no uneasiness
on that score, for, obviously, the verse
is very much like the prophecies Of the
ancient oracles; that is, 1t is capable
Of variety Of interpretations. Fur
thermore, it appears to have been put
together more for the sake Of merely
saying something and in order to get
words that would rhyme rather than
to express known, definite truths.
