we think of the cash subscriber, who has
wandered in to day. We count DER all the
good that two and a half will buy, and the
JOY which the thought brings to us gushes

How often, oh f! how often as the days are

and may happen In to morrow and swell

A man must be q member of the house
some time before he is able to participate
in the rough and tumble fights. Il Is 80
very easy to trap q man unless he is ia
miliar with the usages of the house and
knows the ground upon which he is tread
ing. Fools rush in where wise men fear
to tread, and we ofhen sec some men of
very small calibre joining in q debate of
which they know nothing and making
themselves ridiculous. Now in the senate
it makes no difference what a man does
or how little he knows, he is given the I'M
limited time which allows q man full sway
and abundant opportunity to drive people,
away from the senate so they may not
know just what sort of a ohump he finally
made of himself. Alarge majority of the
brightest men in the house prefer that

One of the delightful uncertainties of
the law IL we'll illustrated in the case of
Bennett vs. the Northern Pacific railroad,
which was for the third time tried before
the district court of Stutsman county last
week. The plaintiff, Bennett, was a
switohman in the jamestown yards, and
while in the discharge of his duties met
with a very severe accident. He sued the
company for damages, claiming they were
negligent and that the accident happened
through no lack of caution on his part.
On the trial some three years ago he re-
ceiyeo a verdict of $1,000. From this
judgment the company appealed and the
supreme court reversed the judgment and
ordered q new trial. On it's second ap-
p~earance in the trial in court the railroad
company was successful and the jury,
acting under instructions from the court,
threw Bennett out of court. This time
Bennett appealed and he was successful,
the appellate tribunal sending the case
for another trial. For the third time it
went to the Jury and this time q verdict is
given Bennett for over $1,000, which is
not a bad increase over the frsr trial, If
he succeeds in making it stick. OF course
it goes without saying that the matter
will for the fourth time be appealed, and
as it cannot be argued until January, Ben
nett is still some distance from his money.
The case simply shows that Justice may
be sure, but at times 10 far from speedy.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for tie
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sucC essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is some hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use to
him. But the person who patent q simple and
useful de vice in the Press Claims Company s
competition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought TO know bet er how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple 10 be worth pateDting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and pOpu-
Iarity, will get the Press Claims Company
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invep-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to chid's ball, go that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of neutrality-suspicious. of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device OF
putting the eye of the needle at the point in.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to leep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved TO
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim
plest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point of view, the company " i'll
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash. in
addition to refundng the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free of
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con-
dit.ons:
Every competitor must obtain patent r
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars.
Should this search show his invention to be
unpatentabe, he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete hie application and take out a
patent in I he Tegulsrway. The total expense
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have patent that ought to be a valuable
property to him. The prize will be awarded
by jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should fill out the folio wing blank,
and forward it with their applications:
