ssTax Title shnrks'' Knocked Out,

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Jan. Tax GER
tifcates agereqating with interest,
$500 Co., are rendered worthless by the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the we'll known Stutsman
County tax certificate cese. These GER
tifcates were issued in the counties
along the line Of the Northern Pacific
on railroad lands sold for delinquent
taxes. which lands the courts have de-
cided were not taxable. The supreme
court decision, as understood here, re-
leases the counties from all responsible
ity to holders of these certificates both
as to principal and interest In this
county alone the certificates issued
amount to $4,000 with the 80
per cent. interest claimed. Several
years ago the county offered to
settle with certificate holders by paying
back principal with per cent. interest
and hold the offer open for one wear.
Such was the confidence of certificate
holders that they could collect 80 per
cent. interest that less than $4,000 of
certificates were cancelled. The hold
ing of the court is that in buying tax
titles the principle of caveat emptor APP
plies.

"Thou Shalt Die.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.,-[special. DIR.
Talmage read several passages
relating to antediluvian longevity,
making characteristic comment as he
read, and then preached from the
ominous words, jeremiah xviii, 16;
'"Tbis year thou shalt die"
jeremiah, accust omed to saying
bold things, addresses Hannaniah in
these words. They prove true. In 60
days Hannaniah had departed this
life.
This is the first Sabbath ofthe year.
1t is a time for review and Tor antici-
patton A man must be q genius at
stupidity who does not think so. The
old year died in giving birth to the
new, as the life OF Jane Seymour, the
English queen, departed when that OF
her son, Edward vi, dawned. The
old year was a queen. The new shall
be a king. The grave OF the one and
the cradle of the other are side by
side. We can hardly guess what the
child will be, It is only two days old,
but l prophesy for it an eventful
future. Year of mirth and madness.
Year of pageant and conhagration?
It will laugh; it will sing; 1T will groan;
it will die.
Is it not a time for earnest thought?
The congratulations have been given.
The Christmas trees have been taken
down, or have wellnigh cast their
fruit. The friends who came for the
holidays are gone on the rail train.
While we are looking forward to
another - months OF intense activi-
ties, the text breaks upon us like a
bursting thunderbolt: "This year thou
shalt die"
The text will probably prove true
OF some of us. The proba bility is
augmented by the fact that all of,us
who are over 35 years OF age have
gone beyond the average OF human
life. The note is more than due. It

How Rooster Flaps His Wings.

VIM. Hamilton Gibson, who is a
trained observer OF plants and

ago that rooster makes the Tapping
noise that accompanies his growing by
striking his wings together over his

bird produces the noise by striking his
wings against MS hard, fat thighs.
Mr.. Gibson discussed the subject with
a farmer once, and the latter laughed
at the artists idea, and said: GIVE
