Here's q Tangle.

How easy it is to mix up the aver
age business man was demonstrated
the other day when the son OF local
merchant leaned against his fathers
knee and innocently asked:
Daddy, is today tomorrow
"No. my son. of course today isn't
tomorrow" answered the father.
"But you said 1t was" continued the
son.
"When did l ever say today was TO-
morrow
Yesterday answered the son.
swell, 1t was; today was tomorrow
yesterday, but today Is today, just as
yesterday was today yesterday, but is
yesterday today, and tomorrow will be
today tomorrow, which makes today
yesterday and tomorrow all at once
Now run along and play" and the IA
ther collapsed into his chair with

Ancient superstitions That Tsnaeiousiy

On the subject OF "Some Popular
Legal SUI erstitions" Case and Com
ment says that there are many miscon.
ceptions of legal doctrines. usually
tenaciousl, held and sometimes rashly
acted upon to the clients undoing.
some Of which are so grotesquely dis
torted that II Is difficult to trace them
to their or gin. One OF the most widely
spread but fortunately harmless Of
these Is that In order that will disin-
heriting ali heir may be valid he must
be "cut of with a shilling" This no
ton Is erroneous, but Blackstone finds
a foundati IN for II In the civil law and
says:
The Ro mans were also wont to set
aside testaments as being inoficiosa,
deficient IN natural duty, II they disin-
herited or totally passed by without
assigning a true, sufficient reason) any
of the children OF the testator. But II
the child had any legacy. though ever
so small It was proof that the testator
had not lost his memory or reason.
which otherwise the law presumed.
but was then presumed to have acted
thus from substantial cause. Hence
probably has arisen that groundless
vulgar error OF the necessity Of leav.
lug an heir a shilling. or some other ex-
press legacy, in order to disinherit him
sfYectually"
Another erroneous idea, quite gener-
ally entertained, Is that a signature Is
not binding unless written In ink.
Still another curious notion enter
tanned In ONE localities Is that an eye
witness may not testify to any occur
renee seen by him through glass"
This Is probably attributable to the
fact that he inperfections OF ancient
window glass might deceive the on
locker as % what actually took place
The writer recalls an instance adduced
by his ins -ructor In physics while lee
turing on the refractiOn Of light Of
a windowpane in his house. through
which par sersby on the opposite side
of the square appeared. on coming op-
posite to a church, to leap over the

Among the many questions which

important than that relating to the
corrosion Of iron and steel. This tend

The ordinary person either does not

Afterward take a tray, also perfectly
dry, and place 1t upon the glass In
such n way that 1t shall preserve Its
equilibrium. Finally take a sheet OF
paper slightly smaller than the tray,
heat 1t and rub 1t rapidly with brush,
and II will become quickly electrified.
Then place 1t upon the tray.

been constructed without any expense.

NAUGHTY SEMINOLES.
They Don't Ike White Men and Wish
Only TO Be Let Alone.

Only to be Let Alone.
Many people In the northern states
are unaware that there dwells In the
fastness Of the Florida Everglades one
of the most interesting and picturesque
bands Of American aborigines in the
United States, known as the Seminole
Indians, who are now as separate and
distinct from the white race as when
Columbus first held mass on the shores
Of Cuba. These are the remnants OF
the one time mighty nation OF the
Seminoles. who defed the United
States government for more than half
q century and persistently refused col
onization.
While the numerous wars and forced
emigration have reduced their numbers
10 few hundred, their mode Of living,
dispositions and customs are In many
respects the same as when the naughty
De Soto sailed into Tampa bay In 1880
The Semlnoles live to themselves,
avoiding contact with the white race
as much as possible and seldom II
ever taking whites into their conf
dence, and on account Of the almost
inaccessible nature Of the country In
which they live little is known Of their
Intimate home life. Unlike the Indians
Of the west, they persistently decline
any assistance from the government
saying In response to offers for their
support, 1--WE only wish to be let
alone"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Signatures are Required

Hereafter depot agents along the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads will be required to secure
the signatures Of all parties receiving
liquor shipments. Books are being
sent out in which the names will ap-
pear for public inspection and for the
convenience of officers who are inter-
ested in law enforcement.
Because of the trouble the railroads
are having in dry towns and to con-
form to the laws recently enacted the
railroads have adopted this plan. The
blanks to be filled out will show the
name of the sender, the number of
packages and the date of arrival. An
affidavit attaches to the effect that
the liquor is received by the party for
his or her Individual use and consump-
ton which the receiver must sign.
A severe penalty is provided for max
ing false affdavits. The blanks may
be examined during business hours by
any peace or law enforcement officer
None of these blanks have yet been
received at the Morris depots but thei,
arrival is looked for any day.

ORVONVILLE PLANS
FOR new RAILROAD
Direct Connection to Head of
Lakes Promised Without
Bonus Till Road is Built

Promises of another railroad to tap
Stevens county with probable rail-
way station in the township of Moore
or near it, come from Ortonville
where the proposed project is declared
to be more than idle talk. A line of
road from Ortonville to Brooten is de-
sired by Ortonville and John Rosholt,
fresh from successful road building in
the Dakotas, has become interested.
The following taken from the Orion
vile Journal last weeks sheds light
on the matter:
"John Rosholt, the gentleman who
built the Fairmont & Veblin line,
was in our city the first of the week,
and declared his intention of building
line of railroad from Brooten to
Ortonville. Mr.. Rosholt is a man
who does things, and declared that
the proposition was no idle talk. We
are informed that the road will be
built and put into operation before
any bonus is asked for, insuring the
people that it is not promotion
scheme to bleed the people. The build
ing of this line would give us direct
connection with Duluth, thing that
has been desired for a long time
This is a proposition that should no
be allowed to grow cold, as it woult
mean a great deal to every business
interest, by making this a competi
tiv point. 1t is almost certain tina
if the line is built this far, it will b,
but short time until it will be ex
tended to Omaha, or some other prom
inent point south of US, thus opening
up new commercial field. Now i
the time to get busy and push tn
matter along.'

SEVEN LODGES TO
Be HOMELESS SOON
Family Flats More Desirable to
Landlord Who Contemplates
Extensive Changes

Seven lodges in Morris will be
homeless unless they provide other
quarters soon after the first of the
year if the present plans of John
Lime, owner of the Lime block, are
carried through. His spacious hall
now occupied by seven secret socie-
ties and used every night of the week
except Sunday through the winter
months will be remodelled into five
room family flats. Mr.. Lime has not
announced yet whether or not he will
bar children and dogs.
81 have had this move under con-
sideration for some time,' said Mr..
Lime to the Tribune yesterday. "Par-
ties have been after me for long
time to make this change and are
ready to take two of the apartments
on long time lease at a good figure.
The apartments, if the change is
made, will be modern in every respect
and will afford fine home for three
or four families. l may decide tc
occupy one fiat myself in order to be
nearer my work and to enable me to
give more personal attention to the
comforts of my tenants. | dislike the
idea of parting company with the
lodges for all of them have been
mighty pleasant parties to deal with.
I have not announced my intentions
to any of them so far because the
leases do not expire till the first of
the year and there may many things
happen from now till Them
Since Mr.. Lime built the hall
about dozen years ago it has housed
nearly all the lodges in Morris. AT
the present time the Workmen, Mod
ern Woodmen, Knights of Pythias,
Eagles, Royal Neighbors, Degree OF
Honor, and the Reem Circle hole
their meetings there.
