HASKELL is ACQUITTED.
The Minneapolis Times Editor Declared
Not Guilty of Criminal Libel.

The Minneapolis Times Editor Declared
Not Guilty of Criminal Libel.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-One Of the
greatest libel suits ever tried in Mime
sofa came to an end during the day
with verdict of not guilty. The &C.
tion was brought by the Minneapolis
Trust company against the Minneapolis
Times, w. E. Haskell, its manager,
and John Blanchard, its editor, and was
a criminal prosecution by Indictment.
The case was on trial two months and
the jury, after being out "a hours,
brought in verdict Of not guilty as to
the defendant Haskell, which will SET
tie all the cases. The jury, however,
declared that the editorial went beyond
the statements in the affidavit on which
it was based
Cause of thu Indictment.
The indictment of Haskell grew
out of an editorial comment by The
Times on the conduct of the Minneap-
oils Trust company as the trustee of
certain West Pullman bonds, part of
the assets of the defunct Guarantee
Loan company. These bonds, The
Times charged, were disposed of to a
so-called creditors association at IL
cents on the dollar, but five days. no.
tice being given to the owners Of the
bonds for whom they were held in
trust, and who were scattered from
Illinois to Maine. The West Pullman
property, The Times asserted, was
hfterward rebonded for $40, 900 more
than the original debt.

THE IRELAND LANDS.

Decision by Which the Archbishop Both
Wins aud Loses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Oommissioner
Herman of the general land Office has
decided the case of Archbishop John
Ireland, involving the right to about
5000 acres of land in the St. Cloud
and Marshall land districts, Minnesota.
With q view to colonization and other
purposes, the archbishop entered into
two contracts with the St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Manitoba Railway company
within whose limits tho land lay, for
its disposition. These contracts were
dated July II, 1880, and March 80,
1883. Subsequently it was determined
that the land was not properly convey
able to the railroad, and the question
arose whether the archbishop, under
the agreements with the company could
become the purchaser of tho lands
on which many persons had SET
tied. The commissioner decides that
under the agreement Of 1880, in
which about 5000 acres are involved,
the archbishop cannot become the pur-
chaser, as he was simply the agent of
the company in disposing Of the lands.
>Dr which he received a commission.
the settlers now on those lands can
acquire patent under the land laws at
the price Of $1.25 per acre, or under cor.
tain conditions may take out home
stead rights. Under the agreement of
1883, the commissioner decides the
archbishop has the right to purchase
the lands. These he will have to pay
for at the rate of %. 80 per acre. Many
persons have settled also on these lands,
under arrangements with tho arch
bishop. In the first case, therefore. the
decision is against the archbishop, and
in the the second for him, although in
both cases the settlers will be protected
The archbishop has the right Of appeal
to the secretary of the intarior.

Count Andrassy's story Of an inter
view he had with Bismarck is az fol-
lows:
Bismarck had two immense mugs
Of beer brought to u.s. He took one Of
them and showed the other over to me.
I remarked that / drank only water.
He looked at me in silence, c~uriously
and almost suspioiously for a minute
and then proceeded with the subject
under discussion. The more interested
he became in our conversation the more
frequently and copiously he drank.
After finishing his own mug he appro-
priated mine without q word and put
down its contents in three or four ire
mendous drafts. Then he had a servant
fetch and I'LL two enormous pipes.
When he offered me one Of them, I ex-
planned that I never smoked.
"'Whatp he cried, neither drink
o smoker What kind Of . supernatural
man are you anyway
1T was a mercy to both Of as, how
ever, that I did not accept the pipe, for
Bismarck smoked SO necessarily that
within Is minutes the air in the room
was dense. When I rose at the end Of
the evening from the table at which we
were sitting, the smoke was SO thick
that I could hardly see the chancellor's
face"

HI, Hail In Danger.

! A young artist whose pipe, eyeglasses
and luxuriant blond hair have made
him we'll known in town went to q
garden party not so much for social
amusement as for pencil studies of high
life. He wore q toll hat, frook coat and
lavender trousers and carried q sketch
ing block q yard square. At the party
his epigrams. paradoxes and f1endish
silvery laugh overwhelmed, as no in
tended. all the girls in sight or hearing,
but he got through with his social du-
ties as speedily as might be, then went
and sat down on q distant fence.
Soon pencil studies lay all around
him on tho grass. Suddenly he felt q
gentle tug at his back hair. He thought,
''That is some fresh Alec trying to guy
me" and he did not look up. The gem
tie tugging ceased, began again, became
much stronger, and then no felt some
thing wet, soft, Shiny, on his neck. With
q dreadful oath he leaped from tho fence
and looked behind him. Back there was
q smart trap, in which sat two girls and
q young man laughing. The horses were
close to the fence, and it was one Of
these that had commenced browsing on
the artists profuse locks. Explanations
followed and apologies. "All flesh, " the
artist eaid, ''is grass, but not all hair"

The Atmo.phcric CLOCK.

The atmospheric clock-a sort of do.
vice that goes Of itself-is not inaptly
termed q perpetual h~ourglass. In up.
pearance it is like a long thermometer
with tho bulb Of mercury at the bot
tom. Tho glass tubo is about three.
eighths of an inch in diameter and 30.
cured to tho frame by two bands through
which it passes easily. Tho divisions of
time arc marked ON each side of tho
Tube. Inside tho glass tube is q smaller
tube shaped very much as an hourglass.
Some me<cury and q scrap Of blotting
paper for tho purpose Of taking up any
moisture that might gather i'll tho tubo
are placed at each end.
The mercury in tho top end Of the
tube is placed opposite the mark Of tho
proper time and falls to the bottom Of
the tube exactly rs tho time passes.
When it has run out from tho top, tho
frame can DO turned and the mercury
set to time on the other side. Thus it
registers the seconds and hours quite as
accurately as any other timepiecc-tho
drawback to such an arrangement being,
Of course, tho turning of the frame, q
task as irksome as that of winding u
clock.-Exchange.

Value Of Chee.e Fool.

Cheese lis a very rich and valuable
food, likely to form a very large con-
stituent in the future and, especially
for tho workingman. to be very extern
sively used. There is q difference in
stomachs in their ability to digest this
article.
The writer is able to mako an entire
meal of cheese, with very little bread,
and digest it more easily than rice Or
oatmeal, but in most stomaohs it is less
digestible, in some extremely SO. Each
person must learn for himsetlf. It is q
convenient form of animal food aud,
when good, particularly agreeable.
There lisa great difference in the COM
position of cheese both in its water, fat
and heterogeneous matter. In general,
however, 1t may be remnrked that
every variety contains a large amount
of heterogeneous matter, and it is for this
that it is especially useful as a food.
skimmilk cheese is especially rich in
this constituent, but less rich in fat.
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find In cheese abundance of heterogeneous
matter to take the place Of that found
in fesh.-London Family Doctor.

A s~uzicient Diet.

A quart Of milk, three.quarters Of a
pound Of moderately fat beef-sirloin,
Tor instance-and five ounces Of wheat
-four, all contain about the same amount
OF nutritive material, but we pay very
different prices for them, and they have
different values for nutriment. The
milk comes nearest to being a perfect
food. It contains all Of the different
kinds Of natritive materials that the
body needs. Bread made from the
wheat -four will support life. It con-
tains all the necessary Ingredients for
nourishment, but not in the proportions
best adapted for ordinary use. A man
might live on beef alone, but it would
be a very sided and imperfect diet,
but meat and bread together make the
essentials Of q healthy diet. Such are
the results Of experience, and the ad-
vanoing science Of later years explains
them. This explanation takes into &C.
count not simply quantities Of meat
and bread and milk and other materials
which we eat. but also the nutritive in
gradients or nutrients which they
contain.-New York Ledger.

presumed to call Lowell ''Jim" to the

"Reminiscences Of William Wetmore

her, the following tale of the two young
men: "James Lowell and I were very
angry with Webster for staying in old
iTyler's cabinet, and as he was to speak
in Faneuil hall on the evening of the
,S0th Of September, 1912, we determined
to go in (from tho Harvard Law school)
and boot at him and show him that
he had incurred our d%ispleasure. There
were 5000 people there, and We felt
sure that they would hoot with us,
young as We were.

his. We both became as cold as ice and
as respectful as Indian coolies. I saw
James turn pale; he said I was livid.
And when the great creature began that
most beautiful exordium, our scorn
turned to deepest admiration, from an
abjeot contempt to belief and approba-
tion.n

Horse Racing and Socialism

In the Militar Wochenblatt, u leading
German military organ, Herr Won Ploetz
recommends horse racing as a panacea
for socialism. He says that the reason
why there is no socialism in England is
that they encourage horse racing there
and that "the love Of the sport is tho
connecting link between all classes Of
men, enabling tho poor to comprehend
tho necessity for a difference of fortune"
Following out Herr Ploetz's idea, it
is said that gambling on horse racing is
increasing in Germany at a tremendous
rate, though so far no diminution Of
socialism has been noticed.
