With a view to advertising his bust
ness, a certain dentist announced that
he would supply artificial teeth to the
first twelve aged ladies in poor cir
cumstances who applied for them.
The earliest application on the APP
pointed day was an elderly woman in
shabby but respectable clothes, who
was politely ushersd into the waiting
room.
Scarcely was she seated when red
faced old man came to the place, and
announced that he had come "abOut
them teeth"
You are making a mistake" the
dentist replied. 81 only made my offer
to ladies. In fact, there's one lady
waiting now"
GAY, an it's about 'er I've come" re-
torted the old man, gruffly. "Tell. Ter
'er husbands waitin' for 'er. and if she
don't 'op out quick, there'll be trouble.
She's got happetite like an 'Oss al
ready, and if you set 'er up wi strong
lot of teeth, she'll eat both me an Ter

THOUSANDS SAVED
IN SW|TCH|NGFEEs
FARMERS AND MILLING INTER.
ESTS PROFIT BY COURT
DECISION.
ROADS TO REFUND CHARGES
Minneapolis Eastern Is Held Part Of
Milwaukee and Omaha Lines
Courts Stand Believed - Fore
cast General "lroning Out"

st. Paul.-Saving of thousands of
dollars in switching charges annually
to Minneapolis milling interests and
to farmers of Minnesota was assured
In decision by the Minnesota SUI
preme court in the first of series Of
cases involving the switching railroads
of Minneapolis.
The supreme court holds this partic.
nlar road, the Minneapolis Eastern rail
way, is really only part OF. the Mil
waukee and the Omaha railroads,
which jointly own the Minneapolis
Eastern. That is to say, the owner
roads may not add to their charge for
carrying grain to terminal houses or
mills on the switching roads any more
than they may charge for switching a
car of grain from their main track to
one of their sidetracks.
The switching charge, which has
been collected for many years, is $1.50
car.
Under the decision the roads must
refund the switching charges collected
In the last six years. The courts stand
is believed to forecast general iron
ing OUT of the switching situation in
the Minneapolis terminal which would
save to the public sum which even
those most familiar with the problems
involved will not attempt to estimate.

At a Wedding.

They have a saw in Afghanistan
to the effect that the next best thing to
no wife is good wife.
The Senegalese declare that there
are only two good women in the world
one is dead and the other can't be
found.
The Chinese hold that If a man
lose his bride and a yen, he'll regret
the yen. A yen's about a tenth of q
cent.
But more comforting, far more
comforting than these proverbs, in the
wise saying of Don Quixote that
there's only one good woman in all the
world and every husband ought to
think that his wife Is she.

Finds No Black Rust in State.

st. Paul. : Black rust reports from
LIE Sueur, Wright and adjacent coun-
ties are without foundation in fact, in
the opinion of o. H. P. Jacobson, of
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission. 1T is true there are small
black spots on the stems and leaves
in some fields" he said, but there is
no black rust on the heads of the grain
and that's what counts. Minnesota
has suffered from black rust only once
in 33 years. There is always a little
rust on the straw from heat after a
fog but that is trif1ing.'
