Each happy maiden's Wedding knows
The music OF a mothers sigh.
The light Of many a friendly eye.
The hand that throws the WORKOUT shoe,
For these are Joys that never die.

God grant that love shall never fade.

How many Junes. how many brides.

I only know your yelling hides
The bushes OF a bygone day.
Your mother blushed the self-same way.
Her mothers cheeks were tinted. too;
Now here's another wedding day.
And 10. the charming bride Is you.
This has been 50 since man began
To claim fair woman for his own,
Since twas proclaimed unfair for man
To spend and live his life alone.
To June the sweet and silvery tone
OF wedding bells is nothing new.
This music ages long she's known,
And now the charming bride Is you.
And friends have come from far and near
To see the bride and wish her well,
To shed the glorious, happy tear.
And bask a moment IN her spell;
To stand about with friends and tell
How long the lover had 70 WOO.
Twas 30 the day I married Nell.
And It Is so to-day with you.

A. II. q. says: Two players are IN

with the other has tens and sevens.
The nrst gets n third ten. the other n
third seven. on the showdown Il In
easily seen hat one player had two
tens of spades. What Is the rule? Il
bets after the draw is complete an i'm
perfect pack stands. A insists he did
not notice the tens were duplicates.
The rule applies to packs proved to
he imperfect after the draw Is complete
and Is intended to prevent dishonest
players making the pack imperfect But
the rule applies to packs that no enc
could know were imperfect until they
were examined. In his case the player
holds two tens OF spades and knows tho
pack Is imperfect. His excuse that ne
did not notice the duplicates does not
save him and his hand Is foul II he
got a joker and thought 1t was an ace.
would that force the others to admit
1t was an ace7 The deal stands and
the seven full wins the pot.
Patience Poker, Mrs. C. says: A
visitor from England insists that II Is
permissible TO shift one card from It's
first position In the tableau, but after
that the cards remain.
No such rule, AS soon as the tab
leau has reached what would make the
limit, Ave cards each way. TO moro can
DO added and no card once properly
placed within those limits and the an
gers removed from II can be changed.

inherit their property was Before the
supreme Court OF Illinois In Wall vs.
Pfanschmidt. IN which It was contended
that since the Illinois statutes ~ de-
scent did not expressly exclude from It's
provisions one who became an heir b.
reason of n murder committed by him.
he could not be- barred from taking his
legal share OF the property o. his MUIR
dered relatives. The court unhsld his
right to inherit, and said
"ln some Jurisdictions, as In New
York. the conclusion has been reached
that while the murderer takes n legal
title which Ia unimpeachable In q
court OF law, n court OF equity will de-
pr!ve him OF the use OF the property by
ento!ning the enforcement Of the legal
right, In other jurisdictions II has
been held that when the statutes make
explicit provision for the descent OF an
intcstates property and specify the
causes for which a will may be an
nulled or set aside and neither the
statute on descent nor on Wills in
cludes the case OF a murder committed
by an heir or devisee in order " Obtain
the property the legal title whtuh passes
to the murderer under the Statute Of
descent or by will In indefeasible. 80
Public policy does not demand this for
~feiture, for the demands Of public
policy are satisfied by the proper execu-
ton OF laws and tho punishment OF
crime. II other punishment be required
the duty to so provide rests upon the
legislative branch OF the Government.
Whether this accords with natural right
and Justice Is not for the courts TO
decide. The laws Of descent do not de-
pend upon the ideas Of court or coun-
sci as TO Justice or natural right, but
depend entirely upon the provisions of
the statute"

THE SEVERITY OF THE "UNCO

The "Holier-than- thou attitude
and lack of sympathy on the part OF
many worthy folks may be attributed
to provincialism. They hold them
selves superior to others not as good
as they are, because they have had no
experience. They have never suffered.
Therefore they cannot resist throwing
in a lecture with their aims. They
simply are not human.
A writer in the Western Christian
Advocate scores this tendency when
he says: cone of the most remarka-
BILE things about certain good people
is their severity in dealing with their
fellow men, Particularly is this true
with a certain class of men ands W0m-
en- who lead what might be called pro-
tected lives. They have never known
from actual experience what poverty,
sickness, disaster, or disgrace mean,
but they are almost devoid OF sympa-
thy in dealing with their neighbors
who had one or more of these things
to deal with.
"To give garment and lecture
together, to pry into the last detail
of family life before giving charity,
to insinuate openly or covertly that

to make the helpless poor feel like
criminals-these are the crimes-of
which many good people are guilty.
"Some day, it may be, we will all
be old, and it may be that many of
us will be poor; so let us cast little
bread and sympathy on the water so
that it can come back to us in case we
need it,
After all, as some epigramatist has
reminded us, "there is so much bad
in the best Of us, and so much good in
the worst Of us, that it i'll becomes
the best of us to speak ill of the worst
Of us.' A little more charity all
around; little more milk Of human
kindness; little more understanding
and sympathy, and the world will way
more easily along its orbit.-Ex.

MORRISON COUNTY BIDS YOU
WELCOME

This week there are but few OF the
over six hundred papers in Minnesota,
that have not made some extra effort
to put before their readers and espe-
cially before thousands of others re-
siding in other states to which copies
will be sent, story of the rich boun-
ties and unlimited resources which
Minnesota and their home county Of
fers to those seeking homes where
they can better their conditions. The
Herald, in keeping with the spirit OF
the occasion, publishes in this issue
among it's pages, matter in relation
to the state and Morrison county,
which we trust will to some degree at
least draw to them the consideration
which they well merit. Although
from one locating anywhere in
the state, we would profit, it is to our
own county, that we especially direct
the attention Of those, who wish to
dwell where opportunity abounds: Not
only is Morrison county proud of her
position in agriculture, dairyfng, stock
raising, manufacturing and CONNER
cial enterprises, but in her numerous
churches of all denominat tons, hospi-
tails, excellent charitable and educa-
tional institutions, her civic, must
cal and social organizations and her
Splendid cosmopolitan citizenship. In
the matter that is put before the read
er there is no attempt to overdraw
the conditions that exist, but state
ment of facts that should appeal to
those interested in BODYBUILDING,
whether it be in Little Falls, in one
Of the many country towns, or on the
rich farm lands Of the county. While
Morrison county with her city and vii.
lagos have been, and are prosperous,
there is still a wide field Tor invest
ment and greater development of her
resources. Thousands Of her fertile
acres are still awaiting the touch of
the scientific husbandman, that they
may bloom and produce as bounteous
as those which now stand out as the
backbone and stability of the pros
perity of Morrison county. We bid
you, who are in less favored sections
than Morrison county, welcome, feel.
ing that success for you is here in
large measure if you but grasp the
opportunity which awaits you. Come.

"They are doing: more to make tho

cy," said Mr.. Brewster. "They have
q half-million dollars year to spend

PROGRESS OF GOOD ROADS.

New Jersey first provided state
aid for public highways twenty
four years ago. Her action was
initiated by Massachusetts, and
Connecticut, and the policy of
state aid toward good roads was
firmly established. Since then
$500, 100000 has been expended
from state treasures IN aid of
improved highways and about
$1,000 miles Of surfaced roads
constructed under state supervt-
sion. The statistically minded
may be interested to know that
this Ia equivalent to an annual
expenditure Of more than $780,
600, with an annual construc-
ton of 1892 miles. By fur the
most active period Of state aided
road construction, however, has
been that since 1905. The last
two years have actually been re-
sponsible for the building Of H.
600 out Of the total Of 81, 900
miles. With 10000 square miles
Of territory less than the single
state of Texas, France lacks but
5000 miles Of having as extern
sive a national highway system
as the United States has, count
ing the state roads as national.
To get rid Of graft and politics
In both state and local boards
and to establish energetic and
competent engineering supervi-
sion are the steps still to be TAX
en- in many states before the so
cial and economic arguments in
favor OF better highways will
prevail.
