The Taking Of Calais.

The Taking Of Calais.
THE German Army never wanted
TO take Calais, according to the Chief
Of the German General Staff
All faltacies that come my way
I'm anxious to correct:
And this one is as clear as day
TO Teuton intellect
When that side Issue scrap occurred
In Flanders dune and valley,
1t was not-you may take my word
Because we wanted Calais.
Calais Is an uncultured spot
And negligibly small.
Possessing such a place does not
Appeal to US at all.
And should you ask me the intent
OF all that shot and shall,
Your silly questions resent
| am not going to tell.
Calais, they tell me, is the link
That spans the "streak" to Dover;
But why, wonder, should you think
We're keen on crossing over?
Such inference my soul offends:
Take heed--and don't forget It
Whether we want a thing depends
On whether We can get 1t.

Rather q Hopeless Reform.

That there is soundness in the con-
tention that the Minnesota legisla-
tive body is too large and cumber-
some for the best results is almost
obvious. That any movement to-
ward a reform in this respect has a
prospect of success is highly improb-
able, says the St. Paul Dispatch. The
easiest matter in the world is to in
crease the size of a representative
body; i one of the most difficult is to
decrease the size.
Each locality clamors for direct
representation and is fearful that
some of it's rights will be neglected
or its privileges curtailed unless it.
has a member on the ground to look
after it. 1t is the old question of
the sectional against the larger state
interest. Many right-minded people
feel that. the state would be better
OFF without the present legislative
system.
When a legislature deliberately
will submit over and over again, z
"seven7senator" amendment, it looks
hopeless to contemplate a representa-
tive reform.

the regiment suffered fearful losses
that Fuller's chance came. Outnum-

few remaining comrades ''stuck it,
and when retirement was inevitable,
Fuller went back for his officer. He
had to run a hundred yards under
murderous rifle and machine gun
fire, before he found his captain.
Captain Huggard, knowing himself
to be mortally wounded, ordered the
plucky "Non-com." to go back, but
Fuller insisted upon picking him up
and CARRYING him on his shoulders
to a place of comparatively safety.

Rheumatism is caused by poisonous

kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin. are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. r In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid

Here's the story Of two bad Boys
who made good in the great Euro
pean war. +.. -
Formerly the despair of their par
ents and teachers, Driver Job Henry
Drain. s7th Battery, Royal Field Ar
tillery, and Lance Corporal William
Fuller, of the Royal Welsh regiment,
are now popular heroes and the pride
of the towns of which? they were once
Foonsidered the disgrace. For the
"bad boys" of Barking and Swansea
have won the little bronze crosses
which enable them Ito place the let
tiers v. c. after their names, and
which put them on the roll of Eng
lands greatest heroes for all time,
Barking, in Essex, and Swansea, in
Wales are far apart and Drain and
Fuller may never meet, but their
stories are sufficiently similar to tell
together.
Drain is the son of Barking la
borer, and as a boy he never made
any pretense about wishing to rise
in the world. He hated school, and
playing truant as often as he dared.
His teacher at the little Back-lane
Church school demonstrated with him
and punished him, but in vain.
Drains ambition in life. was to mind
cows. He could not work up any en-
thusiasm for the three RS. He un-
derstood cows: and preferred to be
with cows, and when he was kept
away from them and forced to &c
to school he made himself a general
nuisance. He was placed in the
Walthamstom Truant school.
Job .throve exceedingly on the reg.
ular life at the reform farm, and cur.
iously enough took readily to the
physical and military drill apart OF
the curriculum. He was a clean.
| built, well-set up youth of sixteen
when three years. ago he was told
that he must choose a career and
leave his place of detention. He elect.
ed to join the army, and entered the
Royal Field Artillery as boy"
"Boy'' Drain found horses quite as
fascinating as he had formerly found
cows, and proved so good horse.

age of seventeen he was mustered

did his duty, and looked after his
pair of gun horses in fine style, but
it was at LIE Cateau, on August %
that he had the opportunity of show.

kUEHNLE A CANDIDATE.

Hon. Carl +. Kuehnle will be an
active candidate for the nomination
of governor on the republican ticket
Four candidates are now in the field
kuehnle, COsson, Allen and Harding.
All Of them strong men, but all of
them identified with political life for
many years except K,lehnle. who in
all probability will make his campaign
on the ground that the state de-
sires at this time business man for
governor who is well informed on all
matters pertaining to the state. His
ability as business man and admin
istrator OF large affairs is widely
known and candidly admitted by ev-
eryone. While for many years an
active party worker in the state he
has never before sought office at the
hands of his party. Mr.. kuehnle will
develop surprising strength as vote
getter. He is full of energy and in
all proba bility will visit every county
in the state before the primaries and
speak in large portion Of the towns
of the state, and he is one OF IOwas
gifted orators. He will draw to him
active and influential men among the
farmers, merchants, barkers, lawyers,
labOring and fraternity men, since he
is; popular among all these classes and
has personal friends in every part OF
the state-CoOn Rapids Enterprise.

votes cast in his favor. II no candi-
votes cast then the nominee must be
selected in the state convention which
| is provided under the primary law.
There is a chance that the guberna-
torial nomination may with four can
didates in the field go to the conven.
ton Cosson and Allen are both avow
eddy dry on the temperance question.
Neither Kuehnle nor Harding have
pronounced records on this issue.
Harding was Endorsed in the last cleo
ton as candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor by the liberal league of the
state, an organization which stands
for the saloon. He has never done
anything to remove the brand which
this organization placed upon him 1t
seems probable, therefore, that Hard
ing and Kuehnle will divide the liber.
al vote while COssOn and Allen will
split the dry element in the republican
party.
Inasmuch as about three-fourths of
the republican voters of the state are
dry, there is some reason to believe
that one Of the dry candidates may
cross the line with the number of
votes necessary to secure a primary
nomination.
AS the case now stands the en-
trance of Mr.. Kuehnle into the race
utterly annihilates any chance that
Mr.. Harding might have had to
squeeze in between Cosson and Allen.
There will not he any doubt about
the outcome if the temperance people
can agree upon candidate and con-
centrate their votes.-Nonpareil
