Burnquist has recently issued pro
,lamation urging all citizens t
properly observe Armistice Day, a
follows:
''in accordance with an an
nouncement at the time OF the
reception TO the 151st Field Artil-
j fery and pursuant to telegram to
4 desire to proclaim Nov. IL, 1919,
as Arlnstice Day.
Son the anniversary of the
-sarnlistice it is exceedingly fitting
5that the citizens of Minnesota
sshould hold, in honor of all ser
vice men, the largest patriotic
demonstration in It's history.
"On that date the American
Legion viii meet in national con-
vention within the borders OF
our commonwealth. This gather
ing, should be made the occasion
for the wide PRONUNCIATION of the
American principles for which
this organization stands.
"The Sunday proceeding Armi-
stice day is a fitting time for
churches and religious organi-
cations to hold appropriate SER
vices in memory of those who
served during the world war and
for the dedication of such suit
able memorials as will perpetuate
their patriotism for the inspira-
tion of future generations.
Therefore /, Joseph A. A. Burn
quist, governor of Minnesota, do
hereby designate Nov. Il, 1919,
as Armistice day, and urge that
said day and the Sunday immed-
lately preceding be observed as
herein requested.
an witness whereof I have
hereto caused the great seal of
the state to be affixed and have
hereunto set my hand at the
capitol in the city of st. Paul,
: this 18th day of October, 1919
81. A. A Burnquist,
Governor"
The Herald sincerely hopes thu
Sank Centre will wake up and do he
civic duty. We are satisfied that til
people of the city are not indifferer
to this important matter, but til
celebration lies dormant becaus
there has been no organized effort I
put the celebration across. Let's g
busy and handle this celebration
the good old Sank Centre way.

F. J. PFIEFFER ARRESTED IN
OMAHA TUESDAY ON HAN
r. -
SEN WARRANT.
WILL ENTER PLEA OF GUILTY
LANDED IN STEARNS COUNTY
JAIL BY SHERIFF SCHOEN- .
Err MONDAY. -.

+. j. Pfeiffer, one of the men in
VOWED in the stealing of Hansen
brothers automobile from the garage
at tie rear of the r. E. Hansen home
in Sank Centre few weeks ago, was
rounded up by the officials at Omaha
Neb., Friday of last week.
Sheriff Ben Schooner left Friday
evening to get his man. Pfeiffer
has admitted that he was the other
man associated with Smith in the
burglarizing of the Oldsmobile. He
expressed willingness to return to
the state without forcing a requisition
upon the governor of Nebraska. The
Sheriff arrived in st. Cloud with
Pfeiffer Monday evening.
The arrest was made from a@war-
rant issued from the Sank Centre
municipal court. 1t was taken for
granted that Pfeiffer would be re-
turned to Sank Centre for his pre-
liminary hearing. He has made a
clean breast of the matter to the
authorities and it is probable that he
will waive any rights he may possess
under the warrant from the municipal
court and that he will be arrested
under new warrant sworn to by tbs
sheriff and that he will be taken be-
fore District Judge Roeser within a
fe days and enter plea of guilty
to grand larceny in the second de-
gree.
The story told by Pfeiffer tallies
very closely to the one told the Of
ficers and court by his partner, Paul
Smith, who was picked upsin Mime
apois within few days after the car
was stolen. :
Relatives of PfeiffeY met him in
Minneapolis upon his arrival there
with the Sheriff Monday. He was
advised to say nothing of the affair
and it was indicated that the family
would fight the case in the court, but
Pfeiffer informed his friends that ne
had told everything he knew of his
connection with the crime and was
willing to go before the court and
receive his sentence.
Paul Smith, the other. culprit enter
ed plea of guilty before Judge
Roeser Thursday and was sentenced to
the state reformatory for an indeter-
inmate sentence of not to exceed five
years. 1t was largely through
Smiths willingness to talk to the
court that Pfeiffer was located. Smith
stated that he thought that Pfeiffer
had gone to Omaha when the trail
became too hot in Minneapolis and
he gave an address where he was
apt to be found. He also stated that
Pfeiffer was considerable of a bowl
sing shark and would likely be located
..at sone of the bowling alleys, Of
Omaha il heawere not at the first
address given the court. 1T was upon
this advice that Sheriff Schooner
wired the Omaha police Thursday.
Friday he received word that
Pfeiffer had been placed under arrest.

No More mLykerstanes."

"TykerStanes," or stones by the road
side for resting coffins on while on
the way to the cemetery, are now
things of the past in Scotland. The
root of the word, which is the cid Eng
lish of Anglo-Saxon "lic," means
"a body corpse" These lykerstanes
were the equivalent of the lichgates,
common in rural England.
Many farms bear names after the
famous stones, although the spell
ing is changed somewhat, some being
called "Ieckerstone'' and 'Iiquorich." +"
One stone is still at Falkland, built
into walk and vulgarly known as
"Liquorstone."
Two of the lykerstanes were former
ly in the parish of Addie, at the juno
tion of the road from the Den of Lin
dores to the churchyard, but they were
removed about the beginning of the
last century. They consisted of two
unhewn boulders of blush stone, about
three feet high, and somewhat squal Q
on the sides and top.

SYMBOL OF BRUTE FEROCITY
In All Ages the Tiger Has Been
Famed for Its Strength, Daring
and Deep Cunning.

1t is said that the tiger has never
been made the basis of a royal emblem
except by Tippoo, the famous Sultan of
Mysore. Tippoo himself was as fero-
cious as wild animal and kept near
him a mechanical toy representing q
life-sized tiger worrying the body of
British soldier. When the toy was
wound up the tiger growled and the
soldier groaned and Tippoo smiled.
It may be that the tiger, though the
ideal of brute symmetry and power,
has never attained unto the dignity of
a royal emblem for the reason that in
every language the word for this ami.
NAL is a synonym for stealthy, cruel,
strong-limbed ferocity Nature has
made the tiger unequaled in the com.
bination Of speed, strength, cunning,
daring and physical beauty. A tigers
first bounds are so rapid as to bring
it alongside an antelope, and a blow
of its paw will stun a charging bull.
1t has been known to spring over
wall five feet high into cattle pen
and TO jump back with a full-grOwn
animal in it's jaws. Sportsmen say
that they have known it to carry away
the bait while they were putting up
the shelters from which to shoot it,

Daydreams.

Dreams will at times reveal to us
how little we have forgotten; but the
value of dreams as a key to remem-
brance is distorted and diminished by
what seems their lack of selection.
They blend the past with the present,
or with sheer impossibility, in such a
hopeless medley.
At their best our dreams seem fan
tastes, based upon the real yet wander
ing from it with erratic inconsequence,
of which the possible meaning eludes
us. And yet a dream sometimes will
revive so much, with miracle as OF
resurrection. But it is in our day
dreams, when reason still retains the
controlling hand, that we most surely
touch the past; and daydreams are the
poetry of memory.

MAY HAVE BEEN ERICSS0NS
Discovery of Ancient GaIIeys
Buried in Norway.

Il traveller in Norway has been look
ing at the two ancient ships in one
OF which, though probably in neither,
Lief Ericsson may have reached the
western world five centuries before
Columbus. Nothing proves that either
OF them was Ericsson's galley; noth-
ing proves that it wasn't. The ancient
pagan custom that buried the craft
of the sea-hero preserved the galleys
away in tie soil of Norway, thanks
to a covering of potter'S clay, and a
twentieth century farmer recovered
the second one. The savants looked
IT over, and dated it from the ninth
century, contemporary with the ad.
venturous Ericsson, possibly his own
ship. About seventy feet long, the
vessel is shaped not unlike a double
pointed rowboat, flat and low, with
forked uprights for 10 pairs Of oars,
and the conventional dragon carved on
bow and stern. Under the floor are
the compartments where the vOyagers
doubtless stored their provisions. One
can imagine the watcher at the prov,
the helmsman tugging at the tiller, the
galley master high in the poop beat
ing with his great hammer the rhythm
for the thirty oarsmen. 1t is far more
difficult to imagine how they slept and
ate in rough weather.

PAINT AND lLLITERACy.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That 10

Paint Also.

Washington, D. Ca curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the bureau Of In
dustrial Research here. 1t is that In
the stexes where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t is true, though, that in the sections
Of all states where white illiteracy Is
highest painted homes ire rare and
PAINTED outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
iIIiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under
stand it's value as a preservative.
