We. 6 Th. 7 8 13 10 17 14 21 1 5 20 22 If the Dunn newspapers are so definitely sure that the Princeton man will be the next governor, why should they spend so much time and space in trying to show that Judge Collins is not eligible for the position?Brown's Valley Tribune. One reason why Dunn's sup porters are so sure of his nomi nation is that they are leaving no stone unturned to secure it. It is the man who is cock sure and* who lays down because he is cock sure, that gets beaten. Bob caught Dunn is not going to be that way. THE administration organs'] otherwise known as the twin city dailies, announce Judge Col lins' resignation from the bench for the near future, General Douglas is prominently mentioned to succeed him. Mr. Douglas has many friends in northern Minnesota and his apon pointment would simply be the recognition of merit. Now and then some disgustled newspaper takes a crack at Sec retary of State Hanson and hints that he would not be hard to beat. Perhaps not-- no one seems to have the temerity to put such a belief to the proof, however. IN THE death of R. O.

Fruit breeders have produced many marvels, but nothing quite akin to the unaided performance of a tree in For farshire, Scotland, which last year grew apples, and whose branches are this year reported to be laden with pears. There are more than 500 dif ferent standard kinds of apples on the English market and more than 800 different kinds of pears, but a tree with an alternating crop of apples and pears is an unaccountable oddity. New varieties of fruit are frequently pro duced in the laboratories of the Unit ed States department of agriculture, where fruit Breeding is carried to a scientific perfection. Other experi menters have made wonderful crosses with peaches and nectarines, and the plumcot is a new fruit obtained by breeding the Japanese plum and the common apricot. NOT EVEN SKIN DEEP. Fair Woman's Complexion a Matter of Purchase. She was a dream of colorblack and white as to her costume, roses and' cream in face and cheek. Every woman who entered the car looked her over with eyes that gleamed with ad miration for her frock, hat, shoes and Attorney i gloves. Every man paid that tribute to Venus which shows the goddess still reigns, whatever else has befallen the other pagan deities. While the women's attention was centered on' her costume the men's eyes all rested her face, calmly beautiful in its outlines, surpassingly lovely in its delicate pink and whiteness. Present ly she stood up to leave the car, and as she did so a little object fell from the front of her waist: Three men bumped their heady in their eagerness' to reach it. The lucky one who picked it up held it in such away that all who sat might read. It was a box of rouge! northern Minnesota President's day it was transmitted to congress. {BITSJNORTH^ {T 1 a EI COUNTR Little Falls school children are all swelled up with the mumps. Grand Rapids claims the foot ball championship of the whole WHY HE HAD NOT MARRIED. Too Many Risks Were Involved in the I Transaction. Capt. Risk of the Mallory line steamer Denver, plying between New York and Galveston, Texas, is a bach elor who attaches a great deal of im portance to the question, "What's in a name?" when applied to the matri monial question. On one recent trip a party of passengers were discussing matrimony when the captain strolled up. "By the way. captain," said one of the party, "how does it happen you've never married?" "Oh, he could never find a woman willing to run the Risk," interjected one of the feminine members of the group. "No, indeed," observed the mariner "no one can run this Risk I'm cap tain. And no one seems to want to take the risk, either," he added. New York Times. All Came Over the Symbolism in Eggs. DeTIME TPhone. The late Lord Salisbury behaved to those about him with fatherly benign ity, not unmixed with humor. One of his secretaries was interrupted, on one occasion, when conversing with him over the telephone. He turned on the intruder and addressed him with winged words. Immediately after wards Lord Salisbury was heard say ing: "Go on, please your last words wer and he repeated verbatim the rebuke delivered to the interrupt er by the angry secretary. Among the curiosities recently ac quired by the department of Egyp tian and Assyrian antiquities in the British Museum is an ostrich egg pierced for suspension and covered -with traces of a painted design, prob ably of a predynastic period. Accord ing to the experts of the department, this egg is certainly nearly six thou sand years old, as the design was made not later than B. C. 4,000. The -egg of the ostrich is said to have pos sessed some religious significance even in the predynastic period.Lon don Globe. Few Attend Prayer Meeting. A notable result of the recent cen addedj sus of church attendance in London is the discovery that prayer-meetings, which were once regarded as the vital breath of life of the church, have al most ceased to exist. In the populous borough of Chelsea, only thirty per sons were found to be in attendance at prayer-meetings. Thirty persons out of seventy thousand. Week-night services have also fallen into disuse.
