Claims to Hold the T~rcnsurcr's
Receipt for the Money.

Duluth, Mimi. Feb. J.-The first re-
suit of the investigation Of the grand
jury into county and municipal af-
fairs has been made public and has
created n sensation. County Auditor
Odin Halden was arraigned before the
district court on four counts, charging
him with misrepresentation of public
funds paid to him. The charges are
that he used money received from can
didates at the last election for filing
certificates Of nomination. The fee II
each case was $40 for candidates for
county offices and So for candidates
for tho legislature. The total sum al
legged to be Incorporated is S329.6O.
This he Is charged with failing to
turn over to the county treasurer.
Upon his arraignment bail was fixed ut
$1,000, and he furnished it immediate
~.
Mr.. Haldin's defense is that he has
turned Owe the money, and holds the
receipt of the county treasurer, dated
Jan. 20, for the amount. 1t seems that
the auditors check, when presented,
was not good. but within a few days
afterward he deposited the money and
the check was paid. Mr.. Haldin's
friends arc 10th to believe that he is,
or has been, guilty of any wrong in
tentiOn.

TO BE CONTINUED J
m Affection.

1 have often had occasion to remark
the fortitude with which women sus-
tain the most overwhelming reverses of
fortune. Those disasters which break
down the spirit Of a man, and PROSTATE
him in the dust, seem to cali forth all
the energies of the softer sex, and give
such intrepidity and elevation to their
character, that at times it approaches
to sublimity. Nothing can be more
touching than to behold a soft and ten
der female, who had been all weakness
and dependence. and alive to every
trivial %roughness while treading the
prosperous paths Of life, suddenly rising
in mental force to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under
misfortune, and abiding with unshrink-
ing firmness the bitterest blast of adj
versity.

How They Kept House and Got Their
Provisions.
My favorite boarders in the oak were
the gray squirrels. The boys knew their
hole from the woodpeckers' at glance,
Tor 1t was in the living trunk of the
tree, and the red brown margin always
showed where their powerful teeth had
been cutting away the bark that threat.
ened to grow in and close them up. l
have oftened wondered how the wood
peckers knew that it would imprison
them, and that they must put up with
the dead limb.
AS for the grays. they were not afraid
to live in the heart of the oak, and what
stores Of nuts, harvested in the hickories
ON the hill, they did manage to "tote"
up there. There must have been a peck
at least when l ruthlessly chopped into
the hollow with sharp Ratchet and
captured fine brood of young ones that
were soon tanned into graceful and af.
fectionate pets.
The old father and mother we did not
want, even if we could have caught
them, because they are fierce and un-
tamable in captivity.
The abduction of their pretty chill
dren did not seem to weigh much OH
their minds, They gave no sign of the
poignant grief not to be comforted,
that have seen, for instance, in blue
birds whose nest had been despoiled,
but refitted their den as snugly as be-
fore and raised another family.
When my squirrels went harvesting,
one OF them first held his head in the
mouth of the hole for half minute to
see If the coast was clear. Presently out
he whisked and stopped again to make
sure, while his mate followed. Then
Mr.. Squirrel gave rasping, long drawn
bark OF defiance, which must have filled
his lady's heart with admiration for
his holiness and with apprehension less
some unwary creature should come
within reach of her lords anger.
Then-if you didn't betray yourself
and send both scampering in widest
fright back to the hole-after playing
hide and seek for few moments they
ran in single file out to the topmost
twigs of great bough, gained a branch
of the neighboring bare walnut and,
crossing to its farther side, made des
perate flying leap into the top of
young hickory. Running half way down
this, they used succession of dogwoods
and oak saplings until they had reached
the grove of tall, straight hickories on
the hill, an eighth of mile from Their
hole in the oak. Come on them sudden.
ly now if you would care to see fast
time made over this queer course and
some record breaking leaps that fairly
take away ones breath. -Scribner's

Autograph Eienda.

The author of "Chats With Celebri
ties" Mr.. Guild, says of the demand
upon Longfellow for his autograph:
l remember one very pleasant party
at the poets dinner table, at which Mr..
Mont, Professor E. N. Horsford and
myself were present, when Mr.. Long
fellow related a number of amusing
anecdotes respecting applications that
were made to him for autographs. He
was very kind to autograph seekers and
used to keep in little box upon his
writing table a number of slips upon
which were written, "Yours very truly,
Henry W. Longfellow. One of these
would be sent to the applicant by a
member Of his family to whom he passed
over their requests.
But the autograph seekers were not
always satisfied with mere signature,
and he often sent verse from one OF
his poems signed with his name. The
most remarkable request, however, came
from lady in Boston, who, the poet
said, sent him by express a package of
$50 blank visiting cards, with a letter
requesting that he would inscribe his
name on each of them the next day, as
she was to have grand reception at
which a number of literary people
would be present, and she wished to
present each one of her guests with the
poets autograph.
This was too much for even Longfel-
lows good nature and would seem to be
hardly credible had not heard it from
the poets own lips.
