Used nuntino License.

Down in Logan countylla resident
possessed with an exceedingly fertile
brain went broke early in the winter.
After some meditation he finally hit
upon plan to keep the hungry wolf
from his door. Among his possessions
was hunting license. He interview
ed the Russian directors of a school
and when they asked concerning his
authority to teach he produced the
license, saying it was the regulation
teachers certificate and that his
standing was very high. He was ac-
cepted as a teacher and all winter
long taught the little Russians and
drew his salary every month. 1t was
not until lately that the deception
that had been practiced was brought
to light.

Governors Farm.

VIC. Times Record: Gov. White
donned a pair Of oyeralls and other
habiliments customarily worn by a
workingman and started Monday
morning for Litchville. Last year he
bought a section Of land about two
miles from that town, and he has been
busy this week putting up house and
barn and getting ready for spring
work. AS carpenters are scarce in
that section Of the country it is UNDER
stood that he has done about all the
work on his new buildings himself.
Louis White Of Stillman Valley, ILL.,,

Numerous Creditors.

The case of r. L. Brown VS.. Osborn
McMillion Elevator Company was call
ed in district court Wednesday. Quite a
mix-up has developed and there are
numerous claimants for the S556.49 de-
posted some time since by order of
Judge Glaspell in the hands of the
clerk of the district court.
In 1897 Chas. NJ. Kay bought the s..
! of section 5-144-62, situated six miles
north of Courtenay, from w. B. S.
Trimble agreeing to give each year. in
payment one-half the crop grown on
the place. In 1899 he had $50 acres
of flax. This yielded 1927 bushels.
After some trouble Trimble received
his share as did also the thresher, j..
w. Wilson. The sum received for the
rest Of the crop was by order of the
court left with the clerk until the
merits of the various claims should be
settled.
Among those who are interested are
Larson & Cooper, Courtenay: H. n.
Tucker, Courtenay; Reuben Faar of
Wisconsin and Deere Webber Com
pany.
Larson & Cooper claim priority over
others by reason Of an assignment ex-
ecuted by Kay to them. They are in
a certain sense defendants in the
action. John Knauf has charge
of the trims interests while the other
claimants are represented by At
torneys Rose, Thorp, Seller and Parks.

CrOcus Fancies.

The first crocus has thrust forth it's
feathery calyx and opened to the sun
and wind it's delicate mauve blossoms.
The first crocus in Dakota is the most
welcome Of all the flower guests. 1t is
greeted witha smileand expectancy, be
cause it carries cheerful message and
is the real herald of the open door, and
of the teeming, palpitating life of
summer. Modest and retiring in its
outer garb of drab, it scarcely seems a
real flower. yet it is full blown and
perfect, wearing within a flaming
crest of gold, tipped with a plume of
white.
1t comes in day suddenly and is
complete. 1t is no lingering, shy and
budding debutante, but is robust
blossom, glad of a little sun-warmth
and ready to contend with the sharp
est Of winters final blasts.
Hidden in the dry brown grass, it is
perhaps the most noticed, and the
worthiest Of all the ornaments of the
plain. A sturdy commonplace of ma
ture, with little in the great world to
do or see, - it fills it's mission we'll. CIV
ing to the future if not the present, the
boon of bright anticipation and the
hope of better days.
The little crocus is a happy harbin-
ger, melting to effort and the hope Of
reward for labor. To those who thus
read it's horoscope it brings a greater
pleasure than the more gorgeously
arranged lilies, roses and other floral
sisters, brilliant in summers paint
or bedecked in autumn's glaring
dyes.

Vaccination as q Preventive.

Minneapolis, April 5.-If there are
any people left in Minneapolis who are
still skeptical Of the merits Of yaccin-
alton as a preventive Of smallpox,
Health Commissioner Hall would be
pleased to see them at his Office. He
will engage to convince them Of their
error after brief investigation OF
the facts of the three months of his
administration of health department
affairs.
i There have been ninety cases Of
smallpox in Minneapolis since Janu-
airy I, when Dr.. Hall took charge Of
the department.. Not single one OF
these persons, he says, was ever sue
cessfully vaccinated previous to the
time Of exposure to the disease. More
than that, out Of all the hundreds Of
persons exposed directly during this
time, not one came down with the dis
ease who was vaccinated within three
days after the exposure, and but a
very few who were vaccinated at any
time afterwards.
A genuine old-fashioned case Of
smallpox was discovered in South
Minneapolis clearinghouse where
there were eighty boarders, all OF
whom had been exposed to the dis
ease. Every one Of the eighty was
vaccinated within the three days and
not single secondary case developed
among them. In other instances all
the way from ten to thirty persons
had been exposed and vaccinated inn
mediately, and no other cases devel-
oped. II these facts are not convinc-
ing testimony Of the efficacy OF vaccin-
alton what could be, DIR. Hall asks.
Last week there were but 5 cases in
the city quarantine hospital, this
week there are 20, due to arrival of
lumber jacks. Strict regulations are
being enforced and the health COM
missioner is requiring everyone to be
vaccinated.

NEARLY SUff0CATED
Close Call of Charles Darling, the
Crippled Confectionery
Dealer.

Chas. Darling had a narrow escape
from death by sutfocation Friday eve
ming. He was alone in his confection-
cry stand near the James River bank.
In handling some Goals he dropped a
few of the same. One fell into a kerO-
sene can and the liquid became ig-
nited. ...
Darling grasped the can and at
tempted to throw it outside. In doing
this the oil became spilled on the
floor and ridge of fire between him
and the door prevented Darling from
making his escape.
He was about to give up, being near
ly suffocated, when the thought struck
him that by breaking a window he
could make himself heard. He broke
the window and his shouts were heard
by men at the freight depot. They
rushed over and put out the blaze
which was burning tiercely.
Darling's hand was slightly burned
but otherwise he was uninjured. Be-
ing a cripple hampered his movements
and he considers it close call.
The building was not injured to any
great extent and has opened for busi-
ness as usual.
Louis Miller, ChaS. Ricks and Geo.
Eager were the three who put out the
fire. In handling the stove Louis
Miller had his left arm disjointed at
the elbow. The injury is necessarily
a painful one and will keep him from
work for some time. He is a farmer
