"Homesick longing was in her voice, Minnesota was home to her, even after all those years.

"The children of a missionary family went away to school, and when they came back for vacation, one after another spoke of how pleasant it was to be at home, or how sorry they were for other boys and girls who did not have such a home. The mother, who had been silent all this while as to her own feelings, finally gave word to them, and told how she had longed for a better home for them. They were almost too much astonished to reply, but at last the little girl of the fam­ily went and put her arms round her mother and said, 'Why, mother, you are home!"

"I fancy something of this feeling was had by a little six-year old In-

without any show of emotion. She | was very fearless, very friendly with the teachers, very much interested in all the new things she saw, but as the day wore away and the evening came on, she came and stood by me as I sat sewing. I was the only one who could talk Dakota to her. 1 looked up at her and saw the tears welling up in her eyes, and I said, 'Why, Maisie. what is the matter?'

"She answered, sobbing, 'I won't see my mother for a long time ?'

Senator Clague came out first best in a parliamentary bout with Lieut.

Governor Eberhart last Wednesday*

on a ruling that meant a postpone­ment of action by the senate on the

tonnage tax measure for an indefin­

ite period. The chair ruled that it would take a two-thirds vote to sus­pend the rules in order to let in the Senator's motion to adopt the min­

ority report on the Bjorge bill. Sen­ator Clague questioned this ruling, and upon being asked to cite author­

ities, Ireplied, "I cite you as an au­thority. Two years ago you ruled

that a majority could suspend the

rules of this body." The lieutenant

governor admitted that he did, but thatJie .was wrong, and asked Sena­tor Clague if the senator was right

in his.contention at that time that it

took a. two-thirds vote to suspend the rules. "I am not the presiding officer," curtly replied the senator.

"I appeal from the decision of the chair:and^ask for a call from the senate."

The senator's appeal created a sensation, as it was the first that has been made during Eberhart's

occupancy of the chair. Before the sergeant-at-arms had corraled the

senators for a test, Senator Lay-

politician are chaotic and impossible but the people of the state seem to like it, and the suggestion of changes in the law has awakened such a pro­test from all quarters that the legis­lature will not tamper with the primary statute, even though it is generally admitted that it could be much improved.

The Indians' Home.

It is a common idea that the In­dian has no idea of home because he is always moving as the season and the game may call him. There is added to this reason for the belief, the fact that in the Indian languages no word is found by which to render our word "home." Mrs. Riggs writes to the American Missionary association on this point.

"It seems to me that the Indians do have some of the ideas of home. To them as a nomadic people per­haps no particular place was home, but the whole country through which they roamed was home.

"Some years ago I was traveling with an Indian woman. Her early home had been in Minnesota, but she had been among those who, after the outbreak of '62, had gone to eastern Dakota, and when I first went into the mission work she had come west to the Missouri river to help us in our work there.

"On this journey, as we traveled into Minnesota, one after another of the landmarks were recognized by her, and her reminiscences came quick and vivid. Here was Sleepy Eye, named by her grandfather, where they forded the river; there was where they hunted for game; there where they gathered the wild rice.

"'Ah,'she said, 'Minnesota is a'

most rapid growing of our native trees.

To illustrate this point, the Unit­ed States Forest Service will exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi­tion in Seattle this summer, sections from a young redwood sprout, to­gether with explanatory diagrams showing its rate of growth in di­ameter, height and volume. This tree, which was cut from the Du-pont Powder Works tract near Santa Cruz, is over 80 inches in cir­cumference at the stump, almost 125 feet in height, and is only 47 years of age. These dimensions in­dicate a growth of over one-half inch in diameter per year, and an annual growth of almost 2 7-10 feet in height.

Trees of an even more rapid growth were seen in the Big River country of Mendocino county, Cali­fornia, where Redwood sprouts over 30 inches in diameter on the stump and 125 to 160 feet in height" were found growing on land cut 40 to 45 years ago. Redwood sprouts thus rival in their rate of growth the much lauded eucalypts. *

Julius is Making a Creditable Record

The house of representatives passed a resolution last week thank­ing Julius Schmahl because the leg­islative manuals were ready for dis­tribution six weeks earlier than usu­al, because the book contains a vast amount of new and important mat­ter and is a model of the printer's art and because the edition of 25,000 will cost nearly $4,000 less than have previous editions of 20,000. Julius is surely making good and it must be pleasant to him to receive such a hearty endorsement from the legis­lature.—Swift County Review.
