lusty looking fellows" he says. Although
they don't do any eating themselves, they
make good eating for others. Fowls eat
them greedily. sparrows have a pick at
them. cats enjoy them muchly. The Indi-

see why he shouldn't. If he eats any other
kind. for they are all good and fat"
And how can a story be better ended

HE PAID THE FARES.
Polite Attentions That Couple of
Passengers Resented.

tFrom the Chicago Chronicle.)
1t happened on a Cottage Grove Avenue
cable car about o'clock one afternoon last
week. The car was south bound. and al
the seats were occupied except two in the
far end near the door. Presently the cal
stopped and young, pretty, and stylish!y
dressed girl, with head erect and most
naughty, indignant mien swept in and took
one of these seats. Then rather sporty.
good looking young fellow sauntered in
with a most nonchalant air and coolly, and
with most exasperating smile. dropped
into the seat directly opposite Miss 1ndig-
nart.
She treated him TO one of her freezing
glances and then, as the condc tor ad-
vanced. commenced searching for her fare
rather hurriedly. She appeared TO have con-
siderable trouble finding it and each mo-
ment grew more confused and blushed a
deeper red. Finally the conductor turned
toward the young fellow and he, smiling,
dropped dime into the outstretched palm
and said Two
For moment she looked as though she
intended resenting ii and then, evidently
thinking better of II, she settled back into
her seat and scanned the fleeing landscape
After this he appeared to become holder
and sat contemplating her, and ever and

Naturally the passengers had been inter-
ested spectators throughout, watching
with varied emotions. Some were amused.
while others were highly indignant over
such proceedings. Among the latter were
two prosperous looking elderly gentle
men who were positively squirming with
righteous wrath. Finally, after intercept
ing another audacious smile, one Of them
jumped to his feet and yanking savagely
at the bell rope called OUT
Conductor. / command you to put this
man off the car. Such actions are dis

Yes" shouted the other would-be
knight Grant, land II he don't get OFF
pretty darn quick, I'll put him off.
The young fellow had sat staring amaz-
eddy at them. his face changing from pale
to red and vice versa with startling ra-
pidity. At the last statement, however,
he leaped to his feet and said:
THE first person that lays hand on
me gets hurt
Then continuing less dramatically, Here,
let me explain before there is trouble. This
young lady is my sister and she is just
mad because l wouldn't take her to the
matinee this afternoon
At this the conductor pulled the rope,
the car started, and the two gallants very
sheepishly resumed their seats. Then Miss
Indignant remarked very audibly:

mind their own business"

hapless females alighted amid audible

TRAFFIC MANAGER WALKER OF
THE WASHBURN ROAD DENIES
REPORTED STARVATION STOR-
les FROM M'LEAN COUNTY.
Grand Forks Herald: For some
time an article has been going the
rounds of the state press to the effect
that a number of Russian settlers in
McHenry county were suffering great
hardship on account of crop failure,
and it was even stated that two chill
dren had starved to death. This state
ment has been published, in one form
or other, in most of the papers of the
state, and mention was made in the
Herald that such a story was in circu-
lation. Mr.. H. e. Walker. of the
Washburn road, states that no such
condition exists in the territory tribu-
tary to his road. The story appears,
therefore, to have been a wanton fabri-
cation. so far as applied to any part
OF Mclean county, and while every
II will condemn the persons guilty of
originating it, all will be pleased to
know that the story is false.

FORMER SLOPE RESIDENT,

The Fingal Herald publishes the fol-
lowing regarding K. S. Ramsett, a for
mel resident OF this locality, who is a
candidate for the legislature in Barnes
county:
In 1SS2 he went % Bismarck where
he clerlied in a store for two years. lii
1854 he opened a grocery store at
Washburn. Being a firm believer in
expansion, as his capital increased he
added new lines until he had one of
the most complete stores in the town.
In 1892 he sold his store at Wash
burn, and removed to .Fingal, buying
the store interests of A. P. Peake and
T. a. Thorkelson. Later a partner
ship was formed with c.: G.. Peterson
which was continued until the
autumn Of 1899. The success of this
firm was due, in no small degree, to
the sound business advice of Nh. Ram
sett.
Mr.. Ramsett, like every good citi-
zen. has always taken a keen interest
in the political affairs of this county,
and state and nation. He has been a
lifelong republican-not for political
preferment but because he believes in
the principles advocated by his party.
He will and should receive every re-
publican vote in the county; and. in
the southern part Of the county, where
he is best known, he will, without
doubt, receive 4 solid vote regardless
of party.

pell tried the case and awarded the
plaintiff a verdict Tor S1,l17.O0. The
case was taken to the supreme court
and the decision was reversed. The
contention was made by the defend
ant that the monthly payments that
he made satisfied the mortgage. The
supreme court took a similar view of
the question, and the plaintiff made a
the case, claiming that an error had
been made in computation. The

been made concerning the climate of
Nomc-some of them likening it to the
balmy Mediterranean and others to
polar frigidity-that we print below an
extract on the subject from an official
report of the United States Geological
Survey. The climate of Seward pen
insula, according to this trustworthy
authority, is milder and much more
even than that in the same ATTITUDES In
the interior of Alaska or the Yukon
country. The precipitation also is
considerably greater. The summer is
nCt so warm nor the winter so cold.
The sea, here traversed by a branch of
the japanese current. is the great mod
orator. According to the records Of
the weather bureau the mean annual
temperature at St. Michaels is 22.1 de-
grees f., and the annual precipitation
(rain and snow 14.44 inches. The
extremes Of temperature noted on the
island are - degrees f. in July and
- degrees +. in February. The rec
ords show freezing temperatures every
month except July. The most reliable
data indicate that the temperature at
Nome is usually somewhat lower than
at st. Michaels, and that the prccipita-
ton is about the same. The winters,
as noted, are not so cold at Nome as in
the Yukon basin, but are more trying,
because Of the dampness and of the
cold winds from which there is no
shelter.
The summer, which is short and
generally cool, resembles spring in the
northern United States. During the
warmer months many bright, clear
days occur, but the mountains are us
ually overhung or obscured by vapory
clouds, which presage rain. Rain is
of frequent occurrence. often continn-
ing steadily for several days. but it is
rot usually accompanied by wind.
Dense fogs. however, are not common.
The prevailing summer winds are from
the south. Vegetation attains it's
maximum growth in late July and
carly August, when verdure and wild
flowers abound and give a great variety
OF cOlOrs; but they do not flourish
long, for scarcely has the season
emerged from spring and the snow
disappeared when it passes into fall,
with its nipping frosts, Indicative of
the approaching winter. In summer
the days are long. From May to early
July it is daylight nearly all the time.
with night scarcely %perceptible at the
time of the summer solstice. about the
list Of June. In August the length
of the day begins rapidly to decrease.
The winter will probably average
ten or more degrees milder than in the
Forty Mile and Klondike region, in
the same latitude in the interior. They
are not much colder than in some parts
CT the United States. The minimum
temperature, or greatest cold, seems
to occur at about the middle of Janu-
airy, at which time the thermometer
rarely descends to more than 30 de-
grees below zero.

the best proof of its ascendency.

County Superintendent Of Schools
E. L. VILLAINS spent Wednesday here
visiting the schools and put in the en-
tire day. Having served his time as a
teacher he is a competent judge Of
good work. His coming was not an
nounced and hence no preparations
were made for a show. The regular
work was carried on as usual. He was
impressed with the discipline prevailing
and ascrioed it to that best of all rea-
sons-the upils are really interested
in their studies to such an extent they
simply govern themselves and have
neither the time nor inclination to be-
come restless or BE- mischievous.
This is one Of the best and most gen
timely deserved compliments we ever
heard paid uniformly to a corps Of
teachers in a public school,. MIR.
Williams took part in the practical
work. He lacks words 10 describe
his thoughts all in all regarding the com
pleteness of the building and the po-
tential beauty of the grounds. AS to

the best in the State. We are par
ticularly pleased 70 have the expert
enced visit our schools.

Measuring the Water.

L. H. Taylor has been engaged
since August on study of the water
supply of the Truckee river basin. He
is collecting and tabulatlng informa-
ton that will be issued In bulletin form
by the government this fall.
The result Of his surveys and meas
urements indicates that the supply for
the Truckee meadows this season will
be quite meager. At best there can
be but two crops Of alfalfa harvested.
Surveyor Taylor has found that the
water Of the Truckee may be stored at
comparatively light cost but it would
be extremely expensive 10 distribute
the waters through the valleys north Of
Reno He doubts If this could be
done, now that the power companies
have appropriated such great flow of
water, to the extent that was possible
year ago. Measurements made
about the end Of August last showed
80? cubic feet per second at the State
lin above all the irrigation bitches and
&c feet at Vista below all the bitches.
