ANYTHING BUT A HIGHBRoW!
The Average Man Naturally FIinches
From the Reputation for In
teIIeetuaIity.

No one really wants to be consid
cred highbrow. The term itself, as
Van Wyck Brooks says, is derOgatory
Here and there a person may be Sc
superior as to be f1attered by the
derisiOn of the herd. Undergraduates
like to think they are. But a man
has, to be far gone in superiority be
fore he relishes the notion of being
avoided for its sake.
You cannot imagine a man like
Nietzsche trying to prove that he had
a heart any more than you can imag-
inc him shooting the chutes at COney
Island. He is the kind of Olympian
whose dignity seems to have been in
herent. You would just as soon drink
beer out of porcelain as slap a
Nietzsche on the back. But the Ordi-
nary Olympian, certainly in America,
is more anxious to show he is gre
garious than to protect his reputation
for superiority and intellect.
You do not have to slap him on the
back; he slaps you. If he is running
for Office, in particular, he wants 1t
to be known that blood, not ice water,
flows through his veins. He yearns
to indicate that he is a good fellow.
He tells funny stories, has himself
photographed playing pinOchle. Is dis

edge of the gulley. At the same moment
a whirl of yelling hOrsemen swept
down the coulee bank opposite the
butte, and went flying away up the val
ley in wild race for the nearest grove
of cOttOnwOOds.
From the butte several shots cracked
in rapid succession. The fugitive In
dians yelled at their ponies in frenzy
Of urgency, and dug their heels into
the fianks of the straining beasts at
every jump. The riheman on the butte
was firing towards them, not towards
the party in the gulley.

jumping down the bank to her. 'We'll
hitch up again, and cross over to meet
him."
"WhO?" asked the girl.
She had been too intent on her task
to see what was happening.

Food Frauds In ReIniun-

Official analysis Of some of the food
surrOgates in Belgium is disclosing
some extraordinary frauds. The direc-
tor general Of the public health serv-
ice has found that some of the sub
stitutes for oil, which is no longer OBJ
tainable, are worthless concoctiOns
that cost the manufacturers only a few
cents per liter, but are sold to a guilt
BILE public at fancy prices.
One 'oil sauce" was found to be
1925 per cent water, with the remain
ing rs per cent an extract of gum. A
"mayOnnaise" in fancy packing and
''highly recommended" was found to
contain So per cent water, 1.3O per
cent oil, 1910 per cent starch and 2
per cent ash. An invalid's food adver-
tised as ''meat extract, extra quality" I"
was made of 65 per cent water, 15 per
cent burnt sugar and 20 per cent ealt.

down the side of the coulee. The In
dians burst into exultant yells, and
several opened fire on the fugitive as
the mare leaped down to the coulee
and dashed across the bottom toward
the gulley.
Urged on by voice and spurless heel,
the mare sprinted over the sandy level
with the rush of a racehOrse on the
home stretch. Coming to the narrowed
stream, she covered it in single ire
mendOus leap, and dashed on, un-
checked, up into the gulley, safe out of
reach of those whirring Ieaden hornets.
AS they swept past the low bush
at the entrance of the gulley, the rider
looked down at the man behind 1t. He
saw blond, fiorid young fellow, whose
blue eyes and small red-lipped mouth
were ugly with hate. A glimpse, and

under the edge of the bank, was blaz-

pulled up his mare alongside the buck
board and looked up with cool alert
ness at the third member of the party,
under the brink of the bank. The man
ceased firing and twisted his thiekset

Hardy faced the girl with no change in

for an instant, she would have slashed
him across the face.

The scarlet that famed in the girls
cheeks deepened to crimson. Her gaze
wavered. Instead of striking Hardy,
the whip lashed down across the backs

plunged and jumped forward; they
whirled the blackboard down the slope
away from the river.
The girls companions jerked their
ponies about to gallop after her. Hardy
spoke to them in peremptory COM

CHAPTER I.
Under Fire.

In its spring freshness the usual
dreary brown of the Montana range
was tempered with a pleasant green.
But the midday sun was blisteringly
hot, and the rider turned his eyes to
the snowy crests of the Little Paw
mountains. The nearest of the rugged.
pine-clad spurs were now only four or
five miles away. He had almost reached
the reservation. Wolf river marked
the boundary. The rangy stride of his
thoroughbred mare was as easy and
unfaltering as when she had borne
him away from the half-dozen shacks
of the nearest town" on the railroad,
fifty miles back over the open range.
But as they began to top the rise, he
drew her down to her rapid walk, and
took out his tieldglasses.
Hardly had he focused the powerful
little binoculars when from across the
coulee, a short distance downstream,
came the crack of high-pOwer rifle.
A moment later the shot was followed
by three deeper reports from up
Not so the others. The blush smoke
puffs of their charges of black powder
directed the gaze of the rider to the
dozen or more Swarthy, half-naked In
dlans crOuching near the top of the
cOutee bank across from the nearby
butte. All were warily peering down
the coulee.
The road ran obliquely across the
narrow valley to a side gulley that
.;Ashed the far bank hundred yards
ar so downstream. Back in the shelter
Of this gulley four or five ponies stood
grouped before a blackboard. Above
them q man was crOuched under the
edge of the bank. Another man lay
behind a small bush, just outside the
entrance of the gulley. A woman in
civilized dress was coming around from
the rear of the blackboard. The erect
figure of the rider tensed with quick
decision. He wheeled his mare out of
the road, to cut down the sharp slope
directly towards the Indians. His
voice rang across the cOulee with the
clearness of a bugle call: "HO, there
Cease firingr'
At his command the Indians twisted
about to glare at him in a half panic.
Three or four started to stink away.
But one swung his rifle around and
fired. The bullet grazed the riders
coat collar. He flung up his right hand,
palm outward The reDlv tO the Daoce
sign was a second bullet, that cut the
crown of his campaign hat.
Two bullets were enough to change
the tactics of the rider. At a word
from him and a touch of the rein, his
mare swerved and plunged obliquely

INDUCED in by those who are already
more or less physically fit, while those
really in need OF the exercise are neglected.
Even among those more physically
able there is great .defciency, when
practical tests of endurance: are applied.
Boys may be able to run a hunderd
yards in 10 seconds flat or a mile in
record time, yet when they are called
upon to stand at rigid attention for a
few moments they show signs of fatigue.
At recent test in neighboring city
where a cadet corps was being formed,
a number of recruits tainted away after
having been called upon to stand at at
tention less than five minutes.
Physical culture should be introduced
into the public schools, not as minor or
optional subject but as one of the re-
quirements of the days work-and COM
petent instructors, men who know enough
not to overtrain-should be secured to
carry out definite progressive program
of physical development.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-05-10

Shakespeare's 300th birthday ami
versary was recently fittingly observed.
In case some of our friends find it
impossible to attend our birthday ami
versary which we have arranged to take
place in heaven 300 years from now,
they are hereby cordially invited to cele-
brate wherever they may. be.
People as a rule do mot visit private
homes unless they are invited so to do.
Why should they visit stores which do
not make bid for their business by
advertising and extending an invitation?
A news item chronicles the return of
an army officer who had been on the
Villa chase and got sunburned. We
knew that some of those social lions
would spoil their compilations.
A ten-year-old boy recently was caught
in the vicinity of Fairmont, pilfering
mail box. The soothing influence of
the Seminal does not seem to have cover
ed much territory. ..
That Villa boy seems to be about as
tough as the German crown prince. Both
have been reported dead a number of
times and both still seem very much
alive.
Even if a tariff were placed on new
ideas, the revenue would not amount
to much, and the old adage of nothing
new under the sun still holds good.
If those convicted for pulling off some
big job were sentenced in proportion to
the small fry our penitentiaries would be
full of life termers.
It is not proper a any time to refer tot
the small insignificant minority, for even
that small minority may be right at
times.
According to the news stories concern
ing conditions at the Ramsey county
poor farm, it's no place for dyspeptic.
Not what we believe, but what we
know, should form the foundation for all
our acts and deeds.
This world is born anew every day for
those who are willing to take things as
they come.
What's the use of borrowing trouble
| when you can't return it again.
1t doesn't take much of constructive
genius to build castles in the air.

cALEDo OMAN LIKES NEW ULM

Not only business interests, looking
for favorable locations to open up lines
OF trade, but also those seeking invest.
ment are finding New Ulm safe point
to place their surplus funds, and one of
the chief assets of the city seems to be
the impression it makes upon the stran-
ger who pauses for a few hours within
its gates, as is evidenced by the following
letter received by the State Bond &
Mortgage Co. Of this city from promi-
nent resident of Caledonia:
AFTER turning down number of in
vestment propositions I was induced
to purchase my bond in your company
for the reason that it's funds were in
vested in farm mortgages and were under
the supervision of the state banking
department, thereby creating as nearly
a perfect investment as it is possible to
secure. ;
II was further moved by a very
favorable opinion formed Of The city Of
New Ulm and its people. My business
transactions with your company have
but confirmed my view of New Ulm and
it's citizens formed some years ago."
