The charge Of Judge William H..
Lauder to the jury in the case Of
State VS., John Dyer was legal docu-
ment that has never been eXcelled in
this state, and probably not in any
other. The legal propositions were
expressed in such clear and concise
language that no juror could mis-
understand their meaning, and neith-
er the attorneys for the state or de-
fence could put finger on any part
of the charge and point it out as an
error.-North Dakota Record.

With a groan Ben noticed they were
all intently engaged in some work.
This is the proper way to begin to
search-by method. Select some
work; do the very best you can"
Uttering a cry of anger Ben fled
through the tunnel out of the noun
tain, hearing the giant in close pur-
suit and was no sooner outside than
out bounded the ~i;-nt. Ben was will
ing to take desperate risks to get away,
and jumped Then the giant called all
sounded song of disapproval, and the
breeze swayed tr so far forward
as to catch Ben in its branches.
Mature is against you" shouted the
giant, looking down.
Ben was so angry he shook his fist
and said some pretty mean things The
giant laughed and the Gree swayed so
Ben came near falling off. AT this he
called for mercy.
I'll do anythingi" he screamed. I'll
work
Just then Ben awoke. He still lay
on the mountain. The sunlight glinted
through the trees. After such night
of terror, believing in dreams, he re-
turned to Treborville. His friends
were surprised at the change, for from
an indoient, careless lad he has become
one of the most industrious; and last
summer he found a deposit of gold in
a hole that has made him rich. The
hole was just the shape of box and
so Ben still believes in dreams-but

and midnight darkness fell at once.
From this cloud came the most awful
lightning and the most terrific peals of
thunder of which l have ever had any
knowledge
"A bolt of lightning struck our main
topmast and ran along it down into the

what damage it had done. a puff of
smoke came trailing up from the hold

vessel was on fire. Wherever the fire
was it could be only a few seconds be-

powder, which was in barrels.
If We had moved rapidly before our
speed was doubled now. We had the
lifeboat afiOat in jiffy and jumped in,
not waiting to get water or provisions.
Our only thought was TO get as far
from the schooner as possible in the
shortest possible time. Our oars
creaked with the weight we put on
them. I had the steering gear and was
free to look back. 1 do not suppose

concluded that he would move to
San ranciseo, especially as the
remainder of his family appeared
to be about to go. Everything
breakable, like pictures and looking
glasses, had been carefully placed at
the bottom of great wagons, and cook
stove had been laid upon the doll car
riage of his big sister. So Little Mister
picked up everything that he could find
around the yard and filed an old valise
with the odds and ends. Then he was
ready, and cried because the 'choo-
choo train" was not also ready to take
him away from his native heath.
No one could carry his valise except
one of his sisters, for he said, Use
drefful ticker bout it, mamma"
Several small boys snickered as they
saw what he had placed in his valise.

sidered a mover. on equal terms with

Mister as he looked over the side of the
ferry boat. Moo, for I might get
my feet wet couldn't l, mamma ?'
Just then the whistle on the boat was
blown, and it sounded to Little Mister
like a roaring lion, and he hid his face
IN his mothers lap. The whistle roared
at Little Mister only once, and soon
one mischievous eye peeked out and
then another. Then a sweet little voice
said bravely: Use not afraid am 1,

Kittie knew a Chinese gardener and
she told the woman to step into the
garden. Hardly had the woman en-
tered when she threw a shawl over
Frankie's head and ran off with him.
She turned corner, entered carriage
that was waiting there and rode rapid
ly away before Kittie had recovered
her presence of mind. Everything had
taken place so suddenly that Kittie
hardly thought to scream until frankie
was out of the garden. Then her cries
brought the gardener.
Kittie's papa soon heard over the
telephone what had happened, and he
came home in haste, pale and excited.
His first move was to call for his saddle
horse; his next to unlOose his blood
hound. Then he drove away with the
bloodhound following him. =
Where the carriage had been lost to
sight Kittie's papa saw something on
the ground. 1t was toy that frankie
had been playing with and which the
Chinese woman had thrown from the
shifted at it. The next instant he
barked and ran down the street in the
direction of a county road.
Then and there was a hot chase. An
hour brought into sight the carriage
that had carried frankie away. It
been overdriyen and Frankie's father
caught up with them. The Chinese
woman had the carriage stopped and,
leaping out, ran away.
frankie was in the carriage alone,
unframed, but very much frightened.
The bloodhound caught the Chinese wo-
man and held her until Frankie's father
came up. She said that she had been
ordered to steal the little boy by some
highbinders, who had threatened to kill
her if she refused to obey them. This
proved to be true. The highbinders

they failed. Hearing what had hap

the better of one little curly head. Il

voice. but the man never said ready.
I won't play with him emmy more, will
I, mamma?'
By and by the car stops, as all cars
must stop some time, and all persons,
great and small, having arrived at their
destination must stop; and here Little
