~ nee there was bachelor. He liked to

tended all the naughty shows; he was
very much at ease with the girlies, and at times
he would sit and think that many, many of them
would be happy to have him husband if he
wasn't too sharp for them. You know the Breed
of course
Well, once in while some friend who had
delicate palate would say to him: "That show
was little too raw" or "a magazine like that
should be suppressed And he would answer
as follows: "Bosh!"
Again, he would ,read or hear that prayer
had effected some near-miracle and he would
feel great contempt for all those who believed
in the supernatural and would say as before,
"Boshv'
And then he got married. He hadn't intend
ed TO get married. He just met girl, and spring
was in the air, and the girl had eyes and hair
and things like that and something happened in
side of him. and when he began to think clearly
again, people were shaking his hand and telling
him how lucky he was. You know how it is
Years passed, as years will, and our friend
began to go home earlier and earlier to get more
time to play with the kids.
The kids were sick at times and very hot
and red, and when they talked incoherently and
did not recognize him he sat by the bed and
trembled. And perhaps you know how that is,
also.
One day the man went to a show. He had
seen much in the old days and 'chuckled,
but now he thought of his youngsters and said:
fittings like this shouldn't be allowed" And
the things he said about naughty magazines were
very violent and full of fireworks.
Prayer? Yes, he changed about that, also.
Not that he ever admitted its virtue, for he had
his intellectual pride; but his wife believed in it
and prayed when the children We're very sick,
and when he heard men scott at prayer he re-
membered her white, drawn face and uplifted
eyes and tried very hard thereafter to avoid these
men.-Baltimore Evening Sun.

for an individual to expect news

which is one of the three things
which newspaper has to sell, to adj

Inter-Club relations committee of this
district of Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, he has awakened interest
in the program which the Agricultural
. Committee of the Middle West is trying
to put over in Washington through the
enactment of legislation in the interest of
the people of the agricultural section of
the country. Next to Frank Murphy of
Wheaton, he is the most active and effec-
tive worker in this district for the cause
and the results of his efforts are already
apparent. For the good that has al
ready been accomplished along this line
much credit is due to his unselfish eff
forts.-Olivia Times.
Don't forget, Jim, that the Second District
Congressman, (who halls, by the way from Red
wood Falls), is also doing quite bit for the
agricultural interests of the Northwest. 1t might
be 8 mighty good thing to send your man Gage
down to Washington in similar capacity-then
the two could work together. 1t wouldn't be the
first time the Second and the Seventh have unit

Strange and great is the power OF the law
Down in Martin County was accused
of numbering one child and suspected Of murder
ing another one. After being indicted by the
Grand Jury on a murder charge, but before she
knew of the indictment, she committed suicide.
This closed the chapter concerning herself and her
little family consisting of the husband who
was killed before the first child died, the two
children and herself There is little doubt but
that when she committed suicide she felt sure
that she was putting the seal of secrecy and sill
encc upon the charge against her. Not so! Now
come the relatives with the question of who
shall inherit the property of the dead children
and in order to establish this inheritance the
mans innocence must be proved or disproved. If
she was guilty of poisoning her son the rela-
tives of her husband the heirs of the ten thou
and dollars which the children inherited through
the death of their father. In case she was not
guilty of murder, she inherited this money from
her children and thus her relatives would logical
ly inherit it from her. Here we have the strange
case of dead woman being tried on the most
serious charge in the catagony of crime. One
of the attorneys connected with the case says:
eve have statute in Minnesota
which provides that no one taking the
life of another can inherit any part of
his property. The death by suicide of
Mrs. Atz, and her indictment, do not
prove guilt. The guilt or innocence must
still be proved to determine the descent
of the property.
"The Minnesota courts probably
have never passed on such a situation.
It apparently is an unprecedented legal
question.
cit first will be passed upon in pro-
bate court, then probably will be carried
to district court by one side of the other.

Because the poppy has become emblem
of sacrifice, those who love it are making every
effort to teach the public all the country the
true meaning of the flower The world in gen
eral has forgotten the war, and if the poppy WILL
in the season of Memorial Day, make the indf-
ferent public remember the sacrifices which have
been made for it by the men who gave their
lives that our country might be saved then in
deed the first and greatest mission Of the poppy
sale has been fulfilled.

Dr. Helen Hughes Hielscher of Mankato has
written the following very lovely little verse
called "Poppies" which is especially timely this
week and next.
I never see Poppy red
But minds me of our soldiers dead,

The dawn of resurrection day,
While drowsily above his bed
The "sleep flower hangs it's crimson head
A sign to those who wait and weep

1t may be that there is no need of any argu-
ment for tuberculin testing of cattle, for the
founding of accredited areas in which all herds
have been thoroughly tested and found one hun
dred per cent right. However, if there should be
need for any such argument it would seem that
the National Livestock Exchange has offered one
of the strongest of all the financial and econ
omic reasons yet offered for such testing. "The
Exchange" says the Murray County Herald, /"
has completed an arrangement with large pack
in the country to- continue the practice of pay
ing ten cent premium for hogs that come to
market from areas that free from tubercu-
osis herds of cattle, called accredited areas. 1t
had been the intention of large buyers the
main markets to discontinue the practice on May
L. but action on the part of the exchanges and
the sanitary committee brought about the
