Curious Accidents.

Some Of the accidents that are noticed in
local newspapers are interesting for their
novelty. John Shawhan, in lebanon, In
dada, accidently wounded himself with
gun. He then dropped the weapon, and a
second barrel was discharged, hitting a
woman who stood by. Both died. Andrew
H. Shore, coal miner, in Pittston, struck
q pickaxe through thin wall Of coal be-
tween him and stream, and the water run
on him 80 fast that he was almost drowned.
David Gasyin tried TO escape from cellin
d Newport police .estallon by climbing
though ahole overvthe door. He fell, his
feet caught, and he hung, head downward,
until he died. George Wells, policeman
in Danville, Kentucky, took a revolver
from drunken prisoner and put it, cooked,
into his pocket. 1t went off and fatally
wounded him. Agirl fell while skating at
Milwaukee, and the pointed end Of a smell
ing bottle, worn at her belt, penetrated her
body several inches. A Boston boy i'm
paled himself on cane that man

The miner sweetheart had Tilted him.
He loaded his six-shooter and wrote to his
landlady this little mission: II am tired
of life, and will blow out my brains in
the cemetary tonight. My rent is paid up
to the 9th. do this because life is bur-
den to me-" He then set out for the ceme-
terry which he had fixed upon as the scene
of blood. On hisiway he took short cut
across chicken ranch and was attacked by
a savage bulldog. Thinking that he had
enough in his six barrels for self and dog,
he opened fire on the animal, but in the
twinkling Of an eye the owner Of the ranch
covered him with shotgun. He fell on
his knees, begged for life. and made the
the most, atject apologies for bis presence
there. His life was spared. Instead Of
fastening to the cemetery and blowing out
his brains, he returned to the city, and af.
ter lunching on beer and sandwiches, told
his landlady that he had changed his mind
and then took another girl to Virginia

Who Kissed Joseph?'

~ the LultOf OF tne flODeer fIess:
This inquiry appeared in the Bismarck
TRIBUNE few days ago at the head OF
an extract from the Pioneer Press, which
had probably been penned by eome ieal-
Gus pale-face who envied poor Joseph
his one solitary streak OF good luck.
was at first inclined to think this man.
ufactured SANDER on our sensible ladies,
but l have since met pretty young lady
who frankly owns that she really and
truly did kiss Joseph. But it wasn't a
municipal kiss, nor an official kiss. nor
yet kiss platonic. It was kiss of mis-
chief, profered by fun-loving young
lady who claims thar she kissed him just
because her friends told her she daren't
to. ''Every one to her taste,' as the old
woman said when she kissed the cow,
and if folks want to kiss Indians or ugly
white men either, nobody cares if they
do. Only it isn't right to hold the whole
town irresponsible for so exceptional
breach of individual taste. 1t may be
true that "half loaf is better than no
Bread" but it seems to me that such
tasteless crumbs as these would prove
starvation diet to any one possessing
just appreciation of these little offerings
Of friendship. Just think of it! Kissing
an Indian with three squaws and no mus
tache! Ugh! SUsANNAH.

The Public Sohoo1s.

The public schools close for the holi-
day vacation this week. After the ho.i-
davs they will be reorganizej to some ex-
tent Mr.. Manley, of Minn., has been
engaged as principal, Miss Ward will be
continued in charge Of the primary de-
partment. Mrs. Rays school, which is
over-crowded, also closes this week. Mrs.
Ray has twenty pupils and has refused
fourteen others for want Of room. This
fact shows that third school, an inter-
mediate department, is also required.
There are sufficient funds to give this de-
partrnent and thus do away with the ne
cessity of private school. Then why
not add another department to the pub
lie schools. Let Mr. Manley, who is un-
questionably qualified to do SO, take
charge of the high school; give Miss
Ward the intermediate and place Mrs.
Ray in charge Of the primary department.
Then there will be no more cause for dis
satisfaction with our pnblic schools. Each
teacher named is specially fitted for the
work assigned and the schools
would al once take front rank among the
schools of the land. Why not begin af-
ter the holidays and make thorough
work? The fact that so MANY parents
look to the private SCHOOL for relief shows
that large and unquestionably respect
able element demands additional school
facilities and the TRIBUNE believes it to
be the duty of the school board to give
them
