Give us Laughing PHILOSOPHERS!

UAfe us Laughing philosophers!
None of your snarling cynlcs for us.
They laugh not, neither do they smile.
They are lugubrious-dyspeptic. They
are usually SOU Of visage, pale, slight,
dry, quite gravyless individuals in fact,
who look as if they had been at logger
heads with roast beef all their lives.
The side-splitting, botton-bursting
guffaw that proceeds from the indi-
vidual with a good digestion is never
heard from them. They magnify mole
hills into mountains, "trihes light as
air" into grievous annoyance. Show us,
on the contrary, a man who faces trouble
with a smile, repines not at small mis-
haps, and in whom the fountains of
merriment are easily set allow, and we
will show you a man with good digestion.
Use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
secur this blessing, and Danish the
nervousness and querulous disposition
to snarl and find fault which attends
dyspepsia. Rheumatism, constipation,
malaria, kidney trouble and lagrippe
yield to the Bitters.

There ar no lands like North Dako-

realize the fact. At the present rate of
homestead filing, these lands will soon
be taken up. Nine homestead entries

day at the land Office. This means nine

and an advancement of her interests.

destined to be one of the richest states

is population. There is plenty Of room

THE INSOLVENCY DODGE.
1t Fails Signally in Justice
Cooks Court.
The Story of Husband and Father VINO
Endeavored to Evade the Perform
ance Of His Duties.

G. NJ. Markley is millwright receiving
good wages. That is to say, he receives 90
a day when he works.
He has a daughter married to John Scully,
who labors hard at trade which does not
yield so richly.
Markley had a wife. but she did not live
with him but with her daughter, who, with
the help OF her husband, Mr.. Scully, con-
trived to make her declining years comfort
able.
Mrs. Markley allied considerably during
the latter part Of her life, and the Sculiys
incurred considerable indebtedness on ac-
count Of physicians services.
Finally the old lady died.
Her life was insured In benefit society.
and the policy was payable upon the
widower's signature.
Naturally the daughter and son-in-law
looked to Mr.. Marley for at least THIS
assistance.
But he declined to affix his signature,
which would give them the necessary
funeral expenses
So John Scully brought suit against him
for 5000 in Justice Cooks court.
But the widOwer evaded a Judgment on
the ground that ne was insolvent.
One unfortunate obstacle for him was the
possession OF a valuable watch and chain.
This he endeavored TO get over by assign
ing them after the commencement OF the
suit to his attorney on the plea that the
assignment was in compensation OF said
attorneys services
Another obstacle 10 his little programme
was Justice Co0k-not so easy to get away
with.
Yesterday Mrs Scully testified on the
stand to the cruel treatment q her father;
She cried bitterly as she told about the
burden imnosed nDOn her husband and her
self by the defendants refusal TO bear part
OF the expenses resulting from hor mothers
maintenance, illness and death.
She said when she lived at home her
father would not give her enough to eat.
although he was we'll to do and had put
money ia the bank.
AS for the watch and cbaip, she was
willing to give $3.50 for it cd tue spot, al
though her father testified that 1t was
only worth SEQ.
The court held that here was a plain at
tempt to evade a judgment.
This scheme Of going into Insolvency to
defeat Justice was a dangerous menace to
the public health, and whom de.eo'es
merited cOrdgn punishment.
The defendant had openly admitted that
this was his intention ip transferring the
watch and chain to his attorney
Justice Cook made a peremptory order
that the properly be brought into court
without delay, that Its value might be as
eertained beyond doubt.
The property was duly brought into court
aud it value having been settled 81 nearly
double that stated By Markey, the latter
perceptibly wilted.
Finally a compromise was effected by
which the watch and chain were spaIed.
But Marley had TO pay 500 down and
further undertake TO pay S25 month until
the judgment OF tho court against him for
S299 should be satisfied.

THOSE SEIZED SEALERS.
Russia's Prerogative in the
North Pacific.
1t Is Asserted That sealers Hsvs Been
Warned by Their Owners to Keep Away
From the Russian Seal ISLANDS.

"The trouble In this matter Of the seizure
of American sealers by the Russians" said
an old-timer to CALL reporter yesterday,
lis that we have been placed in false
position ever since the acquisition of Alaska
by purchase from Russia.
when that was done the United States
and Russia agreed upon hard aud fast
boundary line in Bering Sea, which was
drawn practically half way across the sea,
from northeast to southwest, in many cas- es
hundreds Of miles away from land.
How far south this boundary line has
extended no one knows. But one thing is
certain: Russia has always claimed the
most absolute jurisdiction over sealing
grounds that were not even in sight from
any portion of her territory.
1T has made no difference to her whether
a vessel was within a three or nine mile
limit. or whether she was fifty miles away.
II she had seals on board and was in Rus
sian waters she was caught as matter OF
course
"Such seizures have been tacitly acquiesced
10 by Great Britain for many years past and
orders have always been gwen to British
seaIers to keep out of Russian waters.
"And If the truth must be told the cap
tains of the schooners OF the japan feet
which sailed last year from this port were
told pretty plainly by the owners or the
vessels to keep out Of Russia's way, TO
avoid Copper Island and other points
known to be dangerous hunting ground on
account of Russian cruisers
1.-THE captains in most cases kept out OF
harms way by combining their hunting to
the waters of the japan Sea, but few OF
the more adventurous undoubtedly did 20
northward at their own risk. II they have
returned in safety it is merely because they
were not sighted by Russian cruiser.
"You see it is the question raised by Lord
| Salisbury Of 'pelagic sealing only in this
| instance we are on the wrong side OF the
| case. Mr.. Blaine's contention was that the
| seal is practically land animal, which uses

It was eight feet long, with large scales

AS soon as the lid was raised the huge
reptile made spring for the top, opening

caused the heart to stand still in terror.
Edna grabbed the monster around the
