. Vanity in q female prisoner would
be merely laughab BILE if it were not so
sad to behold. It is, however, the one
touch Of nature which proves the hui
man kinship, and there is perhaps some
hope for even these poor, degraded
creatures, if they are thus swayed by
such harmless emotions. Prison ma

would be perpetually busy if they
checked every attempt made by their
charges to adopt the last iashiona BILE

perhaps, in general society, but they
are still amazingly popular in prison.
Criminals will trim their hair as it
pleases them, and the wisest disciplin-
arian affects to see nothing of the
fringe. In the same way, once, when
chignons were in vogue, the female felt
happy whose locks escaped the prison
scissors and were long enough to fold

English Officers in Foreign Service to Pro.
tect Themselves.
In discussing the modern use of
armor by officers and men in the for
eign little wars of to-day, an English
accoutrement maker, as reported by
London Tid-Bits, says: II give you my
assurance that an immense number of
the officers of our army and navy who
go on foreign service, especially when
one Of our little wars is expected, pro-
vide themselves with certain easily
recognized projections.
These, mind you, are well-known
articles of trade to the service The
commonest and most usual type of these
projections consists of fine but beauti-
fully tempered single chains, inclosed in
in soft leather, which run along the
shoulders, down the outer side of the
arms and over certain parts of the
body. These can either be sewn into a
particular tunic OF they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness.
The most valuable of all chains, in con-
nection with accoutrements, are those
which guard the head, and in cases
where the regulation cap or helmet is
not sufficiently protected in this way,
specially made chains are sewn inside
the same and covered by the lining

Smoking in Court.

Commenting on the fact that not long
ago pastor of q church, in the White
chapel district in London announced
from the pulpit that in future his hear
ers might smoke their pipes during
service il they chose, Undergraduate
Beige says there is nothing so very
strange about that. In the Mexican
courts of law, it says, the smoking Of
cigars is sanctioned by hoary custom;
there one may often see prisoner
putting away at the fragrant weed
while answering the questions put to
him by the judge, and the latter serene
II adds to the general smoke. Mexican
teachers reward their diligent pupils
by giving them permission to smoke
cigars or cigarettes during school
hours, and whenever the worthy peda-
gogue is in good humor the schoolroom
is thick with smoke. Smoking begets
thirst; hence on the teachers desk
stands huge jar filed with ''pulque,''
the national beverage, to refresh the

WILLIAMS COUNTY.
A Brief Description Of It's Great
. Inducements to Settlers, =

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the extreme
Northwest county Of the State Of North
Dakota, with the Missouri River forming
it's southern boundary, and it has river
frontage of about $50 miles. The County
covers an area of nearly 1850 square
miles, and embraces about 5000, 900
acres Of excellent farming and grazing
lands. About one-half Of the County ID
underlaid with superior quality Of
Ignite Coal, which is found in stratas
varying from three feet to twenty feet
in thickness. There are also numerous
beds of sulphur of extra fine quality.
The soil is rich and durable, and by rea'
son of the peculiar formation of the sur
both practicable and cheap. Cereals OF
all kinds and vegetables flourish here in
abundance, and always pay the producer
handsome margin for his labor.
AS stock-raising country Williams
County is equal to any other region in
the western states. Hay and shelter are
found in abundance along the Missouri
river and the small streams running
through the interior of the county.
Williams County offers the most adj
vantageous inducements to settlers by
its famous stock-raising ranges, and its
own cheap fuel in wood and coal. The
winters are mild, and all classes Of stock
Craze out on the ranges nearly the entire
season through, requiring but very little
extra feeding. All kinds of building
material and excellent clay for brick
making can be found in many localities
throughout the county.
Financially, Williams County is abso-
lutely out of debt, there being not
dollar of bonded indebtedness, nor any
outstanding warrants, as shown by the
official statement Of the County Auditor
and Treasurer on July LIST, 1895.
WILLIsTON. the County Seat of Will
liams County, is beautifully located on
the Great Northern Railroad, with tho
Missouri River washing its southern
limits, and situated only twenty miles
from Fort Buford.
Williston has two hotels, six stores, two
saw mills, first-class blacksmith and
wagon shop, two meat markets, one
newspaper and job printing office, four
restaurants, two dress-making shops,
carpenters shop, two brick yards, bar
ber-shop, two churches, a school house,
a court house and Jail, two billiard halls,
and four sample rooms. It is the freight
division of the Great Northern Railroad,
with it's roundhouse and shops located
here. In fact, the volume Of business
transacted here will compare favorably
with any town Of it's size in the northwest.

The extent to which lawyers can ex-

in presenting the case of woman who
petitioned the court to grant her q
judicial separation from her husband,

was in extreme poverty she was en-
titled to alimony according to her hus-
bands means.
q With voice broken in its pathos the
lawyer dilated on the imperative neces-
city Of the case, declaring that his
client was utterly destitute, not having
mattress TO lie upon, and not possess
ing the means to purchase a crust Of
bread.
When the evidence had been heard
the judge, who well knew the counsel's
unlimited powers of exaggeration,
turned to the appellant and addressed

the incautious reply. ..

that the Judge refrained from joining
in the shout of laughter with which
this admission was hailed.
