HAS TIME OF HER LIFE

tlossie, the bovine pride of the
James Jensen dairy of Glenwood,
Minn.. arrived in town yesterday
afternoon seeking fame and laurels
at the Minnesota State Fair.
Flossie may not win any blue rib
bons in her class uext week, but for
few minutes at the Union Depot
yesterday afternoon she gained dis
tinction.
AS first class disturbance maker
and attention attracter travellers
voted her almost in class with the
famous O'Leary cow who caused the
small confagration In Chicago in
1871.
Flossie arrived in St. Paul over
the 500 line yesterday morning via
the baggage car. Mr.. Jensen did
not wish to express her or ship her
In freight car. as he was unwilling
to run any chance of Flossie becom-
ing lost in transit.
All went we'll with Flossie until
the crate in which she was travel
ing fell and broke as Mr.. Jensen
was preparing to load it into an ex-
press wagon. Flossie, frightened.
managed to extricate herself and
fled down the train shed closely pur-
sued by Mr.. Jensen. trying in vain
to calm her.
As Flossie neared the entrance TO
the depot her progress was blocked
by several of the passengers. Dis
regarding all rules of etiquette,
Flossle promptly stepped on the
toes Of one of the blockaders and
escaped.
She scampered up the steps to the
entrance Of the depot and hurled
herself past the gateman at the
door.
Pandemonium followed and for
five minutes Flossie caused more
excitement in the depot than it has
seen since it burned last October.
Benches were overturned and pas.
sengers knocked down. A weigh
ing machine will never be the same
since Flossie kicked it over.
Finally immigration Officer An
drew Peterson, with the aid of Mr..
Jensen, succeeded in corralling
Flossie In a corner.
She was led back in peace to the
express wagon.
Union Depot officials agreed with
Mr.. Jensen's statement that Flossie
was some Pioneer Press.

ALWAYS ON THE JOB

We are told that if this European
war continues for any length of time
that we shall be deprived of our
toys made in Germany" and with
some people it 10 taken as something
to worry about.
Don't you ever believe it.
Old Santa isn't worrying bit.
Not if all of the nations of the
earth were in the death grapple
would old Santa Claus desert us.
He knows few things about toy
making that Germany and all Of
the civilized" nations never heard
anything about, and he knows what's
what when it comes 10 making glad
the hearts of the little folks, and the
older ones. too.
War may put crimp in great
many things, but it will not crimp
this old chap.
We all want the war stopped. of
course, because it is awfully inhu-
man and wicked to kill each other,
either lawfully or unlawfully, no
matter what the cause, but we can
rest assured of visit from Santa
Claus, even if the war goes right
on through the joyous holiday sea-
son.
We can remember the Christmas
eve when Santa Claus came along
with home made sled, and there
never was sled to equal it from
that day to this, and we are positive
that old Santa Claus ia just as handy
and just as keen to please the little
heart as he was when we were a
boy. That was following a great
civil war. a bitter struggle, but with
all the horror, blood-shed and dis
aster visited upon the country, old
Santa Claus never lost out.
If Germany never sends out an
other toy. the way for the Christ
mas happiness will be found just the
same, and in the event that Ger
many is too busy with butchering
its neighbors to make toys for it's
little ones, then we shall turn to and
see to it that Santa Claus gets "a
good supply for them from this
country.
Old santa Claus was never yet
caught up q stump. and he's too
old now to let anybody slip any
thing over on him. -Mesaba Ore.

FATE AND FAILURE

Fate and failure, words beginning
with the same letter of the alphabet,
are both sadly abused. There is no
such thing as fate, and if we only
knew it, there is no such thing az
failure.
What we call fate is merely a
condition created by ourselves. and
what we call failure is one of the re-
suits of that condition.
|. Christian civilization. turning it's
gaze from the setting to the rising
sun. repudiated the Oriental idea of
Kismet.
Under the new dispensation every
man is the arbiter of his own state,
the captain Of his own soul. But
there are too many women and men
nowadays who give up too readily,
too willingly, and accuse fate for
their own failing.
Laziness of body or of mind casts
the shadow that many call fate.
Most of the ills that women suffer
are due to this laziness.
Lack of proper attention to mind
and body is too often the wall that
intervenes between success and fail
ure. 1t isn't fate. Don't deceive
yourself by thinking SO. You are
fate yourself Study your weak
nesses, instead of yielding to them,
Train your strength to overcome
yonr weaknesses, make yourself the
ruler of your moods, and you will
laugh al fate and be the controller
of your own destiny.-Plttsburyh

WHEN IN THE WRONG

A trying experience which GENES
to many of us IN turn. is the act of
acknowledging ourselves in the
wrong. OF course if the matter is
of only secondary importance, or
one that is the result of some slight
misunderstanding it is easy enough
to admit ourselves to be at fault;
but when we become more seriously
involved and deliberately refrain
from taking our share of the blame
by acknowledging our error we not
only fall in the estimation of those
who are in possession of the facts,
but we undermine our self-coDti
dence aud abuse our self-faith.
1t so happens tina. we are some
times mlsled by our private opin-
ions regarding a certain matter.
We may not be conscious that this
= is so and indeed, the chances are
that we would deny the slightest
hint of prejudice on our part, but
nevertheless. we are swayed by our
personal inclinations in far greater
degree than we think.
There are comparatively few per-
sons who are fair enough not to be
more or less Influenced by precon-
ceived opinions and once we make
up our minds on any particular sub
ject we are quite likely to hold to
our conclusions and fight for their
Reorganization as long as possible.
Some persons never know when
they are beaten they cling to their
positions tenaciously and believe
by so doing they are displaying d
tirmness OF character which cannon
fail of admiration.
Firmness aud stubbornness, how
ever, are easily confused and it is a
wise man Indeed, who is able at all
times to discriminate the two and
retain his ground.-Advance.

SIXTY PER CENT MAKE GOOD

| UDder present conditions many
discharged or paroled prisoners are
discouraged from making a sustained
effort to redeem themselves because
of the attitude of the police.
says E. B. Catlin. Frequently
men entirely innocent of wrong
doing are arrested and lock-
ed up indefinitely, sometimes taken
from their work, because they are
x-prisoners and therefore, accord
ing to the police. legitimate prey for
the dragnet. Sometimes the police
learn that an ex-prisoner is holding
trusted and responsible position,
concealing his past. and promptly
expose him. They justify them
selves on the ground that the ex.
prisoner is simply awaiting an op-
portunity to abscond with whatever
large sum he can gain access to.
One ex-prisoner molested by the
police when he is striving to do
right confirms hundred mel in liv-
ing lives of crime. The police
drive many men to crime-unwit-
tingly, perhaps. but none the less
surely-many of whom make the eff
fort to escape such a life but are
overwhelmed by the might which is
not right; in some cases they are
the victims Of police distrust and
suspicion, but OF persecution and even
blackmail. In Japan It is an offense
cognized by the courts to interfere
with an ex"prisoner or in any man
ner retard or discourage his efforts
at rehabilitation.
The Prison Work Bureau aspires
to be the forerunner of similar
spirit in this country. Let us see
to it that nothing harms the man
who continues to do what is right.
Our prison should be so conducted
that prisoner would think of the
penltentlary as a place in which
he is to be saved. in which he is to
be redeemed. and not as a place of
punishment, and when he is releas-
ed he should be given a chance to
earn an honest living at an employ
ment BETTING his talents or special
line of work if he has trade. An
accountant should not be expected
to celebrate his return to the activ-
tiles of the outside world by dig
ging sewer. nor should trades
man be given a dump cart to drive.

From the pen of Count Tolstoy. q

This is revelation of events OF

ing upon the surface of the sea OF

nude woman. She is-wlth her

diamonds and rubies is engraved her
name: (Commerciallsm).
And behold, she has three gigan-
tic arms with three torches of uni
versal corruption in her hand. The
first torch represents the flame of
war, the second torch bears the flame
of bigotry and Hypocrisy and the
third torch that of law!
The great confagration will start
about 1912 set by torch of the first
arm in the countries of Europe. 1t
will develop into a destructive cal
amity IN 1918. In that year see
all of Europe in flames and bleeding

a forerunner proclaiming new era
