Mr.. Robertson, president of
the British chamber of deputies
ig France, in a speech recently
made in Paris. said that British
trade was seriously declining in
France, as it was in Germany
and the United States. He as
cribed the decline in all three
countries TO the success of high
tariffs. The, time would come
when Great Britain would SINH
larily protect herself. Techni-
cal education was nota safeguard
against such competition. He
suggested that England make a
beginning by placing an export
duty on coal. We have been re-
peated]y told by populist orators
that the tariff does not cut any
figure that it was the trusts that
were responsible for all the
troubles to labor, ETC., yet here
is free trade England kicking be-
cause America, under a high
tariff, is prosperous.

The following new law was
passed by the last legislature
and goes into effect July 1. If
this catches the eye Of any who
are liable to come under it's pro-
visions it would be well for them
to commit this to memory and
keep it in mind. Here lis:
Section /. A person who, in
the presence and hearing Of an
other, other than the female
slandered, whether such female
be present or not, majiciously
speak of or concerning any fe-
male of the age of twelve years
or upwards, not a public prosti-
tute, any false or defamatory
words or language, which in-
jures or impairs the character
of such female for virtue or
chastity, and which exposes such
female to hatred, contempt or
ridicule, is guilty of a INSIDE
meanor.
Approved March Z, 1901.

Phil Short, who was one Of
onr North Dakota soldiers 10 the
Philippines has the following to
say Of our so-called modern
George Washington:
Aguinaldo has taken the oath
of allegiance. He should now be
deported to Guam, so that he will
have no temptations to fracture
this oath. as with others he has
taken in the past. Aguinaldo
may resemble G. Washington in
some respects but he has been
known tn lie. It would be UNI
wise to kill the brown scoundrel,
though he of course deserves it.
This course would make a mar
tyr of him, while if he were put
to work cultivating bananas in
Guam, and training a set of fight
ing ROSTERS, in time the Philip
pines and the antics might come
to know his true worth.

Divided the Remedy,

The Philadelphia Record tells story
Of physician Of that city who was
called to see an old Irishman and his
wife. down with colds. He advised
quinine and whisky as an antidote.
You must both TAKE it." he said.
Take It every three hours-two grains
Of quinine and a swallow Of whisky"
The next day he called again. The
man was up and about, but his wife

Trustee G
Getchell of /

Trustee Getchell of the
asylum board, has received
some severe criticism for his
vote to re-elect Supt. Moore,
when he could, by voting for DR..
Crawford, Of New Rockford,
have secured the stewardship
for Lieut.. Pray, of Valley City.
The fact of the matter is that
DR.. Moore has given general
satisfaction and the best in
formed men all. over the state de-
sired his retention on account of
his experience and it would have
been unsafe to turn him down
and put in man who has had no
experience whatever with insane
patients. It's to be regretted
also that Mr.. Getchell could not
land the other place for his own
townsman but he did what he be-
lieved was for the best interests
of the institution and his action
will be approved by all fair mind
ed men. The asylum is well con-
Quoted and is d credit to the
present management.

The crowned heads of Europe
seem to be having a hard time of
it to live these days The Gar
of Russia has recently been shot
at by members of his own guard
and has to do his work in a room
lined with armor plate. How
different it is in this country
where Emperor Mckinley goes
in and out among the people
without any fear of assassination
just like any ordinary citizen.
We suppose that if these mon.
archs want to wear a crown they
have got to have all the emolu-
ments belonging to it.

Our telephone exchange is still

had phones put in his house and at

Tomorrow will occur the ball at the
Fire Hall, under the auspices of the
lady Maccabees. 1t is expected that q
large crowd will be 10 attendance.
The ladies have spent lots of time and
money in getting up this dance and it
is hoped that it will be successful.
p. K. Moe and wife were surprised
by crowd of their friends last Fri
day evening. The guests received a
cordial welcome, the tables were
moved, and the whole party constitute
ed itself a committee of one to have q
good time. Dancing was the chief
feature of amusement and lively
time was had for a few hours. Re-
frcshments were served.
Attorney A. nj. Baldwin and his
sister, Mrs. Hartman, entertained six
couples at team whist ct their home
last Tuesday evening and a very en-
joyable event is reported. Miss Eek
stein secured the prize on draw.
Some very nice refreshments were
served. and those present say that as
entertainers their host and hostess
are par excellence.
Postmaster Claus Jackson, of
Hannaford, was q pleasant visitor at
the Courier Office Tuesday. He was
accompanied by his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Ole Dunnen, of Cashton, Wis,
who has been visiting with Mr.. Jack
son and family for few days days.
Mr.. Dunnen is much pleased with
North DAKOTA and may be persuaded
to invest in some of our fine lands.
A bachelor is a coward and a fail
ure. He shayes and primps. but is
too cowardly to put his arm around
success and press it to his bosom. Ee
resolves to marry every day for 40
years, but when the hour for the duel
arrives, when in the presence OF
trembling and rosy cheeks. when
beauty shakes her curls, his courage
ooses, and he flies the field without
even learning OF the cowpath that
leads to matrimony. Better be OLD
darby Rastus in his cabin, where he
holds old Dinah's hand and asks:
WHO'S sweet?'' and Dinah drops
her head on his shoulders and says:
"Bofe of us.

1t has not been necessary for
the Griggs county commission
ers to go into the seed business
this spring as provided by the
new law, which is a good thing
for the taxpayers. There seems
to be enough seed wheat in the
county and a majority of the
farmers will be able to get their
seed without much trouble. A
few years ago we had a little ex-
perience with seed wheat loans
and it cost the county and tax
payers all kinds of money to
make collections and they havn't
collected all of it either.

Smallpox.

the spread of the disease. The
house is strictly quarantined.

''Yes, had to los him co." replied the

when the latter asked an explanation
sf the absence Of his pet barber.
'swhy?'

Raising whiskers7 Great Scott

may raise whiskers II he so chooses?''
Yes, this Is q free country. and q
man can do pretty furch as he likes,
but there's one thing he can't do and
work for me. and tha.'s 1t.
Why do you objecty'
ssFor three reasons. The first IL that
be was rather cross looking fellow
anyway. Whiskers would make him
look crosser. In the second place. to
raise whiskers It woald be necessary
for him to look like a Weary Willie
Tor two or three weeks. In t!,e third
place-and this is reason enough even
Il there were no otber-if l.e LIQUID
succeed In raising good looking
beard. he would set an example that
might be followed by some customers.
The result would be that instead Of
getting shaved three or four times q
week. or even every day. they would
content themselves with getting their
whiskers trimmed once q fortnight or
once week. Such a move would seri-
ously affect the cash box and for that
reason Is not to be tolerated.
