1t has been estimated that there are 1900
different kinds of snakes in the world, not in
GLIDING the two-legged species of which there

One out of every thirty-three persons in
the world is always the sick list, so we're
told If we only have to clay off" one day out

The cheapest and easiest thing in the world
is to show your authority. You can show your
authority till doomsday and make people fear
it, too; but you will never make them respect it.

Editors and editors wives throughout the
Second District grieve with "Mabe" and Mrs.
Moreaux of Luverne in the loss of their infant
son. This is the second time they have been so
bereft, and their many friends are sincerely
sorry and sympathetic.

sixtieth wedding anniversary and the wife gave
as the profound bit of wisdom CLEANED from
those years of married life that "The way to get
along with the brutes is to assume that they
have very little sense" Surely it didn't take
the dear lady sixty long years to learn that!

The Mankato Free Press prints the follow
ing little news item under a Granite Falls date
line.
Three bottles of French wine en-
riched the fund for Mississippi valley
flood sufferers by $225 when sold at pub
lie auction One pint brought SIPS, an
other sos and the third $35.
This thing, right from the heart of the
Volstead territory is unbelievable. Even the
mantle of charity doesn't make it probable.

hotel for children has been erect
ed by the juvenile welfare organization
of Berlin to accommodate recreation
bound youngsters making stop-over
in the city. Ten cents is the price of
nights lodging; breakfast is three and
one-haf cents and lunch or supper seven
cents.
When they see those prices lot of adult
travellers undoubtedly sing Backward, turn
backward, oh years in your flight; make me
child again just for tonight"

Some Of the newspaper boys-among them
Jim Landy of the Olivia Times, have spent good
time and brain power reviewing "The Tinhorn."
This title of elegance belongs to the book written
by A. N. Jacobs who got the worst of it in that
smelly Scha mess. The only thing remarkable
about the book we gather from these reviews, is
that Jacobs dubbed his villian-hero "Jim Hall"
instead of coming out honestly and naming him
"Tom Schall" Rather hard on certain resident
of Marshall we SHOULD say. Anyway-we wish
the fellows wouldn't waste their time and ours
writing editorials about the book. Oblivion and
lots of it is what it merits

date, but would leave its impression on the vote
of dry candidates of an established party To
decide which is such a candidate may cause the
Union some wakeful nights. But in any event
the White Ribboners have made q wise decision
when they agree to use a united ballot as a
weapon of defense for theft cause If more of
the woman's organizations of the United States
would similarly resolve-and then stick to it
the wonan's vote would be much less lightly
treated than at present.

The Brown County Journal relates the fol-
lowing little episode, which we think is the only
really humorous example of burlesque legisla-
ton of which we have ever known.
A member in the lower house of the
Alabama state legislature the other day
certainly got under the hide" of United
States Senator Helm from that state,
who is forever and anon sprouting in the
upper house of congress concerning the
alleged Vaccinations of the Pope and
the Catholic church in an attempt to
gain political supremacy in this country.
