A number Of Devils Lake business
men are seriously discussing the pro-
position of organizing a local company
for the purpose of putting in a com
plete system Of water works. They
claim the city is bonded to the limit,
and it therefore devolves. upon private
capital to make the improvement, if
the improvement is aver made. That
the city needs a water works system,
no one will deny. That bonds cannot
be issued for this or any other purpose
is we'll known. Therefore these public
spirited citizens have put their heads
together, as it were, to devise some
method Of putting in the system by
private enterprise. They have figured
that bv using the supply from the
artesian we'll, mains can be laid to all
parts of the city-connecting with
every business house and residence-
for about $4,000. Bonds would have
to be issued for this amount and float.

Strange Peoplo of rooupls.

Australian papers which arrived at
Vancouver, B. c., give interesting de-
tails of the cruise of II. NJ. s. Mohawk
in the Solomon Islands. An officer of
the warship says:
Gone Of the most interesting features
in connection with our cruise was the
visit to Tocupia. Its people certainly
are not Kanakanas, woody haired or
stunted in stature, but on the contrary
its 800 inhabitants are giants. One
we measured was six feet ten inches
tall. The women are proportionally
large.
''The men have long straight hair
which they dye a 1sxen color and
which IN thick folds hangs over their
copper-tinted shoulders. The women
have their hair cut short. They may
be related to the Samoans or Maoris,
but they certainly differ so much from
the Polynesian as to make their his.
tory most interesting.

ese boundary dispute, but that was
settled amicably three years ago. Now
the nations have rival interests in
Africa. As the dream of English
statesmen is a straight path from
Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, so
that of the Frence is one from east to
west. The two ambitions conflict. II
is this that makes conspicuous the
Fashoda incident, in which Marchand
and Kitchener figure. England and
France hate each other with enduring
hate. The British would rather fight
France than any other nation. 1t is
this that has led Lord Salisbury to be
firm in his dealings with France. On
the other hand France is more out of
humor with Germany, and this will
probably prevent her from doing any
thing which will lead to war with her
more ancient enemy, with whom she
has longer score. The more re-
cent war wipes out the memory of the

sober, early in the morning, he was
defiant, and stoutly maintained that
he would have to plead guilty. So

Oft to one side and talked to him!
"Look here, Boney," he said.
"don't throw US all down like this.

But Boney was obstinate, and still
insisted that he was obliged to plead
guilty.
For the better accommodation of the
jury and the rest of Walkers creditors,
court was held in the old warehouse.
The Judge read the charge, with a
tinge of sarcasm in his voice, which he
with difficulty managed to conceal.
The defendant waived counsel, and
the trial proceeded.
"Guilty or not guilty?" asked the
court.
The prisoner jumped to his feet.
"Guiltyl" he shouted. "And I'm
sorry 1 didn't"
The court interrupted him. "The
prisoner pleads not guilty." the court
said, in blandest tones, not looking at
the prisoner, however. "The jury is
instructed to bring in verdict in &C.

The prisoner sat speechless for q
brief time. He was overcome with
violent emotion.

The court was entirely unmoyed.
Doubtless it was prepared for some
such outbreak upon the part Of the
prisoner. "The jury will now retire
and prepare its verdict" the justice
said, calmly.
In the room in the rear the jury de-
liberated over its verdict. The ex.
pense was borne by the court, who
had accompanied the jury there.
Amid an impressive silence the jury
took their places again.
Gentlemen, have you the verdict?"
calmly asked the court, as he resumed
his chair, raised above the others by
the aid of two soap-boxes.
''We have" responded big Casey,
the foreman.
"Read it," commanded the court,
assuming an expectant mir, calculated
to dispel any suspicion that the court
itself might have been the real author
of the document.
Big Casey read the verdict. It was
as follows: "The jury finds that the
prisoner is such fearful liar that We
can not believe him under oath..'> 1t
accordingly finds him not guilty"

Fun Will Green In,

Old DR.. Strong, of Hartford, had an
unfortunate habit of saying amusing
things when he didn't mean to do SO.
As when he was presiding in meet
ing OF ministers, and wishing to call
one OF them to come forward and offer
prayer he said;
Brother Cotton,
OF Bolton,
VIII you step this way
And pray?"
To which Rev. Mr.. Cotton immedia-
tely answered without intending to per-
petrate anything Of the same sort:
My dear Brother Strong
You do very wrong
To be making a rhyme
At such solemn time.
And then DIR. Strong added:
Pm very sorry to see
That you're just like me.

A Dog Meets Two Casual Bears.

Johnny Soper, who lives on the
Woodruff place on the old Albany post
road, two miles north of the county
seat of Essex County, N. Y, went the
other day to look for stray calf in a
small piece of woods near the Bouquet
River. He was accompanied by a
large dog, cross between st. Ber-
nafd and pointer. -
The dog suddenly left him, and the
next moment Johnny heard him fight
ing with some wild animal. 1t was
after sunset and dark in the woods,
but the boy was plucky and ran to see
what the trouble was. He found that
the dog had just killed a bear cub.
Before he could do anything with the
cub the old she bear appeared ON the
scene. She made rush for the boy
and reached for him with one paw,
her claws brushing his clothing. In
another instant she would have seized
him and Johnny would have had an
obituary in the newspapers, but at
that critical moment the dog sprang
past the boy and gave fight to the
bear. Johnny took advantage of the
diversion to make his escape. As he
got away he saw the dog receive a
vicious cuff on the chest that proved
Knockout blow, for when the bear
retreated the dog was powerless to
follow. .as}iije.zj-s :
Hunters have secured the woods
for the bear without success. They
found by tracks plainly in evidence in
cornfeld that she had two cubs with
her before meeting Johnny. Later
they could find the tracks of only one
cub. The cub killed by the dog has
not been found, and it is probable
that the old bear carried it off with
her, and no doubt hid it by burying it
in the soft sand of the river bed

Ibsen has given his views on the
subject of national disarmament. He
says that such proposal has his sym
pathy-but if war were suppressed
eve should have to discover some
other means of blood-letting. He
goes on to remark that "at the pres.
ent stage of human development we
require something of the sort to pre-
vent our blood getting too thick. 1t
is doubtful, in the Norwegian drama
lists opinion, whether the existence
of military service really hinders prog
ress. He thinks that its abolition
might quite possibly bring about

the vast array.
