The Human Lobster.

The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording a nick name for his fellow Englishman. Lob ster" was favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans. though 1t Is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying q soldier. lobster" originated in the civil war. being applied to the Roundhead crlirassiers. as Clarendon explains. ''be' cause of the bright iron shells with which they were covered.". Afterwart the allusion was transferred to the soldiers red uniform. But that was the "boiled lobster" The raw lob' ster'' was naturally the man in blue the policeman. In earlier days We find Grose explaining that ito boil ones lobster" meant for a clergyman to be. come soldier.-London Chronicle.

They Are Highly Prized and Protected

 The rock of Gibraltar is the home of q highly prized and carefully protect ed tribe of Barbary apes. The chief of this tribe is one Major. and in Gibraltar there is saying that it were better to kill the governor than Najor."
 This; band of apes numbers about twenty. They came, mysteriously enough, from Africa many years ago and claimed citizenship in Europe They are duly protected by the author, ities. and any addition by birth to their number is carefully chrOnicled and announced in the local paper.
 These apes transfer their abode from time to time. according to the state of the weather, from the highest peaks of the rock to lower and more shelter ed places. They indulge their sense oi humor at times by throwing stones al the soldiers. They may not be seen for weeks at & time. save in the early morning hours.
 A few years ago. on account of the diminishing numbers of these crea lures, some apes were procured from Barbary and turned loose upon the rock. but the resident apes killed then an. Although so fierce to intruders o1 their own kind. they never attack hu man beings and are greatly esteemed.

BARBECUE AND BURG00.
Often Confused, the Words Have En
 tireIy Different Meanings.

Often Confused, the Words Have En-
 tireIy Different Meanings.
 Barbecue and burg0O are both words of American birth. but of foreign ex- traction.
 Barbecue is variation of West h. dian-Spanish barbacoa, low frame work on which meat or fishes are laid to be smoked. From the framework the word came to be applied to the ar. ticle thus smoked or cooked. Strictly speaking, it applies only to an animal cooked entire, Us whole sheep or a whole OK, but it Is not held strictly to that usage.
 The modern barbecue is the cooking of meat on a large scale by roasting or brOiling in such way ns to pre- serve it's juices and flavor. |, BurgoO is of English origin, coined by sailors to designate thick porridge or gruel, sometimes also called loblolly. American burgoo is a thick soup or stew composed of the fat and juices of a barbecued animal thickened with variety of vegetables and highly sea. sOned.
 It sometimes has been spelled bur gout, under an impiession that it is derived from the French. but that is mistake.
 There is no rule or recipe for mak- ing it except experience aud a genius for making a savory and eatable com pound. It may consist of fish, flesh and fowl. cereals, vegetables and any. thing that appeals to the appetite.-ln- diapapOlis News,

"wet" and "dry" proposition at the

campaign is now being conducted. As
is usual, considerable unnecessary bit

Why not, indeed? Differences Of opin-

Hon. Elihu Root: We have enjoyed
liberty and order so long that we have
forgotten how they came. Our peo-
pie assume that they came as the air
comes. They have assumed that they
will Of their nature and by their own
force continue forever without effort.
All, no! Liberty has always been
born Of struggle. 1t has not come
save through sacrifice and the blood
OF martyrs and the devotion of man
kind. And it is not to be preserved
except by jealous watchfulness and
stern determination always to be free.
That eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty is so much truisn that it has
lost its meaning, but it is an eternal
truth.

ABLE, HONEST, PATRIOTIC

ABLE, HONEST, PATRIOTIC
It is noteworthy that broad minded,
patriotic men in every section Of the
state, irrespective of political affilia
tions, men whose sole desire is to
have Minnesota represented in the
United States senate by high grade
man, are daily declaring in favor of
Frank B. Kellogg.
Here is a terse judicial summing up,
written by that eminent jurist, ex-
Judge Frank Ives Of Cass Lake,-a
man who is noted for his political in
dependence-that should count for
much: -" --~.-
Heretofore, while candidates for
United States senate were accumu-
lating The Times has not deemed it
advisable to give its readers the con-
clusion of its editorial manager, but
now that the time for party filing
has passed we deem it not only a
privilege but duty to lay before our
readers the opinion, after mature
meditation we have arrived at. The
United States as a nation is today in
a particularly hazardous position and
needs the best men of the nation in
the upper house of congress. In
weighing the ability and patriotism
Of the several candidates for the
position of United States senator we
have no hesitancy in declaring, that
in our opinion, based upon a long and
quite intimate acquaintance, Frank
B. Kellogg is the man the state should
support. There is no question Of
partisan politics in the matter, the
only thought we may indulge in is he
able, honest and patriotic Ameri-
can citizen. This we believe Mr.. Kel-
logg to be and he is entitled to the
support of all good citizens.

One by one the brave old veterans
Of the civil war keep dropping off. The
latest of prominence to go in this state
was Major J. M. Bowler, who passed

record as a soldier and citizen, was
possessed Of high sense of honor and
was one whose friendship was priced
by all who knew him.

Occasionally complaints are heard
of the ineficiency Of the national
guard, but when one considers that at
present each guardsmen costs the ma
ton only $35 year, while each regu-
lar army man costs at least $1,000 an
nually, the progress made by this
branch Of our military service is graft
flying. Certainly there is room for i'm
provement, but more money will have
to be expended, and there should be.
The bill appropriating $75,0O0,000 to
increase the efficiency Of the national
guard is deserving Of favorable con-
sideration at the hands of congress.
