DUKE OF MANCHESTER AMERICAN
IZED.

The Duke Of Manchester has become
so thoroughly Americanized by his short
stay with his wife's people that he de-
veloped a full grown breach of promise
suit as soon as his dukish feet touched
British soil.
1t is bad enough for young duke to
have one American title hunter get after
him and carry him off to her den, but to
have another pounce down upon the
poor young man as soon as he returns
to his native land after he had been
paraded before his mother-in-law and
his father-in-law's country relatives, is
really too-too much.
There is something. strange about this
affair as it was reported. The cable says
that the duke was all s'broke up when
the summons to appear and answer to
served upon him. 1t can't be that his
dukelets breads the scandal-it is not in
the nature of an impecunious young duke
to avoid anything as entertaining as a
scandal in which he plays the star part,
1t must be owing to the knowledge that
the young lady has good case and his
fear that the ''old man. will not put I'd
the amount of the judgment which is
likely to be entered against his dukedorn
Be this as it may, the young man should
have no fears on that score. The
duchess will gladly pay out of her pin
money any judgment her one time rival
may secure against her aristocratic half.
1t will be worth all it costs to have the
world know that another woman wanted
her duke, or pretended that she wanted
him bad enough to start a scandal of
this magnitude. We do not wish to he
uncharltable but we are compelled to
half suspect that the feeling shown by
the young duke when served with the
breach Of promise papers was a piece
of good acting, and that there IS conniv-
ance between his excellency and the fair
plaintiff to boom Manchester stock in
the American market. We think the
young man must have learned this much
during his stay with papa. in Cincinnati
If the affair was not the result of a
concerted plan then the Duke of Man
chester may be put down as one of the
most lucky young hoods ever produced
by the British Isles
if the case develops into a racy scam
DIAL, then will the duke have become the
idol of his wife and his wife's folks
AND should the affair prove to be a
melodrama arranged and enacted for the
people of the United States, he will be
regarded as sufficiently clever to become
an American citizen. The best society
will be open to him, notwithstanding his
early escapades.

''Did he seem quite himself?"
"Quite I saw nothing the matter with
him. We went down on the beach, and
he found boat; there were lots there,
you know. The knot of the painter

we put my bike on board and showed

gave Gaskell the best bearings I could.
Then I got chilly, and he passed me his
brandy flask. I drank some and felt
bit better-that was after half an hours
pulling. Soon I began to get drowsy and
said I'd take the tiller. Gaskel agreed
and we changed places. l took some
more brandy and sat down in the sheets.
While there 1 had a look at the back
wheel of my bike and found clean cut

something was wrong. I told GaskeH just
how l felt and after lot of argument
I got in a race and let the filler go, and
we bumped UP against boat the beast
had been steering for. I was mad and
went for him. He hit out and caught
me on the nose, and I bled pretty freely.
Well the blow and the stuff he'd given
me, drugged as 1t must have been, finish
me. I fell down in heap, and Gaskell

1t would be most gratifying if Mime

needed in the matter is public enlighten-
ment When the owners of property are
made to understand the great advantages

will be such demand for its adoption
as will soon put an end to the present
methods.

Simply a Personal Fight.

Crookston Times:
The situation with regard to the
redistricting of the state seemed
to please the majority of the
house members, as it has been figured
out by that majority that the districts
should all go Republican, but when the
bill reached the senate it was decided
that some gerrymandering could be
done. and an amendment was offered pro-
viding that Redwood county with its 965
Republican majority be taken from the
Seventh district, and placed in the Sec
ond, which would make it much surer
to elect Senator Somerville to congress.
Now, Speaker Bowling lives in the Sew
enth district, and has few congressional
aspirations himself. If he loses the sup
port of Redwood county 1T makes a diff
ference, don't you see. This puts the
state into an attitude of being specta-s
tor to personal fight between two as
pirants who can hold up public business
While they are in the ring.

AMERICAN BEEF PREFERRED.
Result of Inquiries Recently Made IN
South Africa.

In view of the temporary prohibition of
American meat for military purposes in
South Africa by the British government
Consul General Stowe at Cape Town has
been making Investigations with regard to
the cause Of the restriction and has sub
mftted the results to the Department of
State Along the entire route to Pretoria
thousands of empty cans which contained
American beef We're strewn, and at Bloem-
fontein and Kroonstadt large stores of
American corn beef were to be seen The
british enlisted men, when questioned
pronounced the American article very sat-
isfactory, and their officers stated that in
many cases the men preferred the timed
meat TO the poorer fresh article At Pre-
toria. too, large stock of American meat
was at hand, and no store or shop COM
planned against 1t. In fact, the only COM
plants made of the American article arose
not from any actual defect In the meat
but from improper care OF 1t after IT had
reached the Transvaal. 1t was found to be
the practice at British military bases to
use layer of corned beef cases as a floor.
ana pile on top flour, meal and other COM
modities to protect the latter from ground
moisture. But the cases of beef Themselves
suffered from the exposure to moisture the
tins becoming rusty and small holes letting

months exposure of this sort, the meat
would be sent out to the troops, neces-
sarily In a bad state.
