I ft i? it i* Take Another Glance Here The dress of Japanese women is regulated by their age and condition. One can tell at a glance, if one knows the rules, whether any wom an is married or single, and how old she is. The dress of American women is regulated by the husband's or fath er's pockctbook. If the pocketbook is short, we imagipe that is the rea son why the dresses are short. But It Ain't! Are You Superstitious? In Mexico no sensible girl would consent to be married on a Tuesday, as that is believed to be the unluck iest day of the week for weddings. (Note: Not the unlucky day, but the unluckiest.) June brides should remember that, according to ancient supersti tion, it is unlucky for a bride to choose bridemaids who are not younger than herself. On going to be married, a bride must, if an unlucky omen is to be averted, sit facing front in the car riage. On returning she takes the opposite seat. If anyone is to believe all these things, then it's no wonder that the divorce courts arc working over time Ain't It a Fact? A Fine Place to Rest An exchange tells us that "the lad'es marshaled a force under the leadership of Mrs. Bone Tuesday af ternoon and cleaned up the cem etery and intend to fence the grounds and make them more attrac tive by setting out shrubbery and trees." Evidently Kelliher is also prepar ing to welcome "he summer tourist trade. May They Rest in Peace! Here's a "Cow Story" E. M. Sathre recently bought a Guernsey cow at Thief River Falls for $300.

No Bull About That THIS TIME LAST YEAR Brooklyn traded Jeff Pfeffer to St. Louis for Janvrin and Schupp. The Giants scored seven runs in the tenth inning and beat the Cubs. The Red Sox scored seven stolen bases off the Tigers. The Athletics scored five runs in the seventh off Bagby and beat the Indians. Chinese Ancestor Worship* lit China almost every family has, In the main hall of the house, "Its "an- eetftrnl shrine" wherein are arranged th ancestral tablets. These tablets are mmJe of wood, or stone or marble, ac cording to the financial circumstances at the family, and Inscribed thereon ere the names, titles, dates of birth and death of deceased ascendants and the namtfs and degrees of relationship of. their nearest living descendants. Twice year, on the birthday and death-day of the departed, ceremonies, consisting chiefly of obeisances before the tablets, are held. The use of the tablet as nn object of reverence is not due to the belief that the spirit of the departed resides In It, but rather that it is a symbol to be roniembered a,nd respected by the living and the days set apart for "worship" are no more religious than is remembrance of the dead. Why Buick Cushions "Ride Easy'* Buick cushions are comfortable on all roads because of their "double-deck" springs and resilient hair pads. The uppei springs, which are light and easy acting, yield to the slightest road irregularity. The lower springs are larger and stiffer. They cone into play on rough country roads, carrying the passenger in comfort over bumps which cause the ordinary seat to "strike bottom". Between the springs and the French-plaited leather upholstery are two thick, yielding pads cf*inter laced hair which positively prevent "lumping". In Buick seat cushions, as in every other part of the car, is built the? oj^lity which has made aide cars the standard of comparison.

Wuen better automobiles are built, Buick will Liu thcRtj Hibernian Hyperbole. In one of our New England sum mer resorts lives, during the summer, a family having four small children of assorted sizes, and several dogs. In the employ of the household Is an Irish, maid whose duties include keep In? the living rooms of the house in order. Early in the season the streets of the village are, treated to a coat of tar, a proceeding attended by much traeking about of the dogs. Nora's dis tress of mind, after one of these ex periences, Is great, for she is a clean ly soul who has the appearance of her domain much at heart. When the un tidiness was at Its worst one day she went In search of her mistress and complained: "I give you me wor*rd, Mrs. Brown, that fer ivery wanst the boys and tlilm dogs has gone out of this house this day they've come in twenty-five times!" Doyfe Made Good as Detective. Somebody recalls Sir Conon Doyle's activities as a detective back in 1907 when he applied the Sherlock J3olm.es methods to an English criminal case and succeeded in bringing about the release of an apparently Innocent man. Thi)t was the Edjah affair, which was widely exploited in the English news papers at the time. Edjaii, the son of a Parwe and an Englishwoman, was accused *f wantonly maiming animals. The prosecution made out a strong cas agtiunst him. It was alleged that oa a cWtain dark night he went to a fteld near his home and there bru tally mutilated a horse. Sir Arthur Coniui Doyle became convinced of hi$ innocence, und succeeded in proving beyond a doubt that the nearsighted ness of the prisoner was of so extreme a ntctare that be would have been un able to find the field, let alone the honfe. rf, C44 i_*.

CANE POLES AND FROGS BRING IN BLACK BASS One of the largest and most beau tiful catches of big-mouthed black bass ever seen in this section of the country was caught Sunday by B. A. Kolbe and his daughter, Ruth, at Twin Lakes. The bass numered about twenty and ranged in size from three $o six pounds. "Yes, everyone of them put up a game fight," admitted Mr. Kolbe, "and those big ones furnished thrills aplenty." Miss Ruth modestly ad mitted that it was great sport and was proud of her catch. Old cane, poles, frogs for bait and' a flat bottomed boat did the business. No other secrets about catching bass in lakes in Northern Minnesota.

Reynolds & Win ter, u**..^* 4dS-22 Mf^f*- Pineapples Have Strange Cousins The pineapple belongs to a very in teresting family of plants, called the Bromellads, all of which are purely American, and none of which were known In the old world until import ed from the new. Most of these are natives of Brazil. The pineapple Is the only member of the family that produces a large fruit formed by thickening its flower axis and by inclosing its seeds In fleshy bracts. It is filso peculiar In the fact that It grows on the earth, Instead of up In the branches of trees or on rocks, as do nearly all Its rela tives. These are like the orchids in many respects they draw no suste nance from the earth through their roots but live on rain. This they catch in their leaves, which are rolled into perfectly water-tight reservoirs.New York Herald. New Scientific Discovery. Among the most remarkable glimpses into hidden corners of nature that scientific advance has afforded are the frequent discoveries of micro organisms in unexpected places, where they produce phenomena here tofore supposed to rise from other causes. For instance, a scientist in Upsala, Sweden, ascertained that in preparations of meat and fish con taining, for purpose of preservation, salt to the amount of 15 per cent micro-organisms grow luxuriantly and he concludes that the flavors and odors that are peculiar to various salt conserves are due to the micro organisms with which they are crowded. Plant That Sneezes? Tie recent discovery of a cough tag plant has been reported. The Vul garisation Scientiflque mentions still another species which sneezes. The former grows In certain trop ical countries and bears a bean-like fruit. It appears to have a decided distaste for dust, and when a little is placed on one of its leaves the respiratory organs of the plant inflate and the dust is expelled with a curi ous noise, for all the world like a child with the whooping cough. We are not told the name of either plant and doubtless they are closely related, if not identical.Kansas City Star. BARBER TRADE Now is the time to leam a good trade. Summer rates are in effect.
