Fred Swanson recently purchased
an office desk from a St. Paul dealer
in second hand goods. He did not
realize what prize he had secured
until several weeks ago when rep
resentative of the firm made a bust
ness trip to this city. While here
he informed Mr.. Swanson that this
desk was one used in the state cap
itol in the governors office during
Gov. Johnson's and Gov. Eberhardt's
administrations. Mr.. Swanson ma
turally feels very proud over his
possession and would not part with
the desk at several times the. price
he originally paid for it.

Seldom has fortune been reaped

The Judges ADVANTAGE.

One of the best stories OF Judge Par.
ry, famous English jurist, related to
a feeble looking man who was rebuked
for supporting a ridiculous claim made
by his wife. 81 tell You candidly

story" said Judge Parry.
"Yer may do as yer like" replied the
man mournfully, but I've got to-"

OF Judge Parry to overhear the com

had decided. "'E's fool. but e did

appointed suitors. "One might SLEEP

philosophic comment Of the Judge

wanted to spend two glorious weeks

CAT RECOGNIZED A FRIEND
And Man Wants to Know How He Did

Of Sight.

There be those" said nature

ciated with by their sense Of sight.

fact of which | am personally cogniZ-
ant and which pertains to the subject

Yesterday morning after ! had
breakfasted around the corner ! ap-
preached the house where ! lodge and
from some distance | observed our
large black cat, Bill, sitting on the
front steps before the closed door. 1t
was evident to me, and am panied to
make the statement that Bill had been
out all night.
Several persons passed as he sat
there before | came within range OF
his vision, but he gave no sign to them
what he was there for. He did not see
me until | was within forty feet OF
him, so intently was he studying those
nearer, but the instant he saw me he
came running to meet me, rubbing
against my legs and showing other in
dications of his pleasure in meeting a
real friend in need. Then he dashed
ahead and was at the door when got
to II.
"Once inside he had no further use
for me and scurried away toward the
kitchen. Cats have no power OF scent,
l believe, so he didn't nose me out OF
the crowd Of unfamiliars passing be-
fore him. This being true, how did
Bill know me except by sight?"

You carry insurance with some mu-
tual or old line company and pay pre-
MUM or assessment each year. Now
instead of paying it to the companies
YOU make up your mind you will carry
YOUR own insurance and lay aside in
fund every year the amount you PAID
i'm premiums or assessments. How
much protection do you think you
would have in case you were burned
out? How much would there be accu-
}mulated in your fund to reimburse you
for your loss? Only a small sum at
best, even if it has piled up for years.
Your loss would be one to be severely
felt. No, you cannot recover much by
carving YOUR own insurance. Only
when there are many others with you
contributing to the fund, is insurance
success. And yet the state is doing
this very thing carrying its own IN
surance. and with what result? Sew
eral fires, heavy losses, and no money
in the insurance fund to pay them with
funds long ago exhausted; and to pay
the losses the money has to be raised
by tax, adding more burdens to the al
ready overburdened taxpayers. Wher
the state embarked in the insurance
business. we raised our protest IN the
legislature, but it was UNDECIDED. L
couldn't have proven more disma
failure than it has. -Fennimore Times

WHAT proportion of the people pay
cash for their goods? One social inves-
tigator has found that about 80 per
cent of the people pay their bills with
in thirty days, % per cent take from
one to three months, 40 per cent never
pay in full, and 2 per cent never pay
at all. This investigator also found
that if women bought their goods for
cash, if they bought in quantities and
watched weights carefully, about rs
per cent might be deducted from the
price of goods. There's moral to
this. A merchant who sells for cash
gets cash on the spot-c can afford to
sell cheaper. Pay your home mer-
chants cash-just the same as you do
when you send away for goods!

ONE of the large western cities re-
Gently lost a factory employing 400
workers. A Democratic paper COM
menting upon this incident says that
every man, woman or child leaving
city for another residence decreases
the value of industrial sites $1,000 per
capita. This, coming from Demo
cratic paper, is surprising argument
in favor of protective tariff law. II
the loss of a factory employing 400
workers means heavy loss to the site
value of city, the building up OF
American industries under the infiu-
ence of a protective tariff means a cor
responding increase in the site value of
every part of the United States. Land
values are to be maintained by provid-
ing protection and employment, says

entirely in harmony with the Republi-
can view of the effect of protective

Riches in DYES.

In last weeks issue of the Banner
we published an item in regard to The
Ripon Knitting Works having a ten
pound package of orange dye, the sell
ing price of which is 81, 900 pound.
Mr.. Greve read the item and remeEn-
boring that he had some dyes, he pro-.
ceeded to look the matter up and found
that he had the following stored away:
Total Orange, 121 lbs. These dyes
are listed at $1,000 pound.
Total reds 163 pounds, broken lots of
green, black, purple, ETC., pounds.
These are listed at $40 pound.
Nos. 1, 2 and 8, 10 pounds. These
are listed at $500 pound.
Potash chrome, 17a pounds. These
are listed at S. so a pound.
If the above prices can be secured
for the above dyes it will amount to
about $40, 900. .
On Sunday Mr.. Greve received a tel
egram from R. r. Street & Co. Of Chi
cago, wholesale dye dealers, in reply to
a letter, which asked him to hold until
a representative arrived on Monday.
He came on that day and advised Mr..
Greve to hold the dyes until he heard
from Philadelphia and New York whole
sale dye firms and said that part of the
dyes he had were very valuable.
On Saturday of last week repre-
sentative of Quincy Dye Co. offered
him $500 for the dyes but Mr.. Greve
refused to take it.

with several big dye firms and expects
soon to dispose of them. jefferson

success-one in ten making good tits

the toll and hardship with hope always

today is the most prosperous period for
the miner in this section in all these
years. That the great European war
is the prime cause is generally con-
coded. With jack ranging from $50 to
$1OO per ton, bone three to four times
higher than ordinary and lead ruling
from SITS upwards, and with better
facilities for getting out the ores than
ever before, many are the miners like
