France and the Potato.

There was much difficulty in intro
ducing the potato into France. 1t was
only toward the end of the reign u
Louis XIV that it began to be used.
The learned had opposed its introduc,
ton systematically, saying 1t produced
leprosy, and the common people re-
fused to test It even on their live stock.
A trick at last established it. Fields
were planted all over France with po-
tatoes and carefully guarded until the
tubers were ripe, 1t being given out
that these fields were growing a new
thing specially for the king and that
trespassers would be prosecuted. Now,
the laws at that time were severe. A
man might be hanged when he hunted
in the wild forest, for the game was
the seigneur's, almost each one Of
whom kept his private gallows. Tres
pass against the king implied. there
fore, terrible punishment.
The danger Of the punishment proved
Itself an alluring bait. AS the contriv-
er, wise in foresight, had seen. the
fields that were purposely left unguard-
ed were pillaged right and left. the po-
tatoes eaten. some kept and planted
and the tuber at last effectually intro
duced In France.

COST HENDRICKS A HUNDRED

We have been informed the last
issue of the West Fisher Gazette will
appear on next Thursday the goth.
The Gazette cost the Montanian over
a hundred dollars. We're glao that
it's going. There is no room for more
than one paper in this end of the
county and then we depend solely on
outside patronage. In Libby the Mon
tanian spends $500 for every 81 it re-
ceives from the dear people. AS a
consequence we dearly love the bust
ness men of this end of the county.
They are nice lot. Some of them
who don't like he Montanian are pat
rOnizing the Gazette. It's a wonder
that some fellow with more money
than brains wouldn't start a paper at
Jennings or Whites landing or at
some other God forsaken spot up the
Kootenai.-Libby Montanian.

There semes to be no doubt that
Governor Toole was right in refusing
to vote to violate the states contract
with the Robert Mitchell company for
the furnishing Of the state capitol.
The contract had been made and en-
tered into after no little expense and
effort on the part of the Mitchell
company, and common honesty and
good faith required that it be lived up
to. The Mitchell company could
hardly be more unfair" to organized
labor than the state has been in this
matter to the Mitchell company. Or
ganized labor gains nothing by such
moves. Public opinion resents the
Injustice and bad faith of sucn tactics.
The general hope will be that the Nit
chell company will succeed in It's ef-
fort to compel the state to be honest
in this matter.

DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN.
A Robbery That Was Witnessed by
q Woman During Sleep.

A Robbery That Was Witnessed by
q Woman During sleep.
A lady spending the summer In the
country. some 20 miles from her city
residence, dreamed that the latter was
robbed, she herself being witness Of
the robbery. In her dream she saw two
men, one Of whom limped. in the act.
Of rummaging some trunks in the hall.
A candle stuck by means Of it's own
wax on the newell post Illuminated the
scene with dim light.
After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to a
closet, from which they removed cur
tains and hangings stored for the sum-
mer months. The dreamer observed
that they overlooked her most valuable
curtains, which had been placed well
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport
ed to her birthplace at Auburn. N. Y.
where she especially noted the bronze
figure of an Indian which surmounts
the prison edifice.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres
ent, five of whom are now living and
vouch for the fact. Subsequently it
was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post
were the marks Of the candle. The
curtains had all been taken but the best
set, which were found where the dream
er had seen them.
Suspicion was directed to painter
who had been at work on the house,
who was lame and who disappeared
Immediately after the robbery. 1nves-
tigation Of this mans character showed
that he had served term in the Au-
burn penitentiary.-Health Culture.

mentally sound. But this gave the
prisoners attorney another avenue
through which to reach the higher
courts and he promptly applied to
Judge Hartford for a writ of habeas
corpus, based upon the action OF
Judge Jacobs in denying jury to
mass upon the question of sanity, con-
tending than an insane defendant
charged with a crime was entitled to
the right of having his sanity passed
upon by a Jury, and as the question
of sanity was not raised as defense
at the first trial he should have that
right accorded him at any time before
punishment was imposed, and that
this was a right guaranteed by the
Federal constitution.
Pending another appeal from Judge
Hanford, on August 4, 1899, Judge ia
cobs granted another stay of execu-
ton.
The question involved in the ap-
peal was passed upon by the supreme
court of the United States last spring,
affirming the decision of Judge Han
ford, and on June 10, 1901, Judge Bell
signed a fourth death warrant, fixing
the day of execution on August %.
This last sentence was carried out,
but not until Attorney Lewis had
made another Intellectual attempt to
save his clients neck.

He wasn't very big, but he was q
sturdy little chap with face that bore
the marks Of much thinking and pre-

ward that he was supporting a crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death Of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think of
it. He just sold papers.
At the loop on Fifteenth street a
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. A ragged young girl was
selling flowers at the Fifteenth street
end of the waiting station when a man,
rushing to catch his car, knocked her
against the side Of the building. With
out stopping. probably not having no.
ticed what he had done, he continued
his rush, when the boy stepped in front
of him defiantly.
"Say, what do you want to knock
girl down for? Hit me. I'm big

The man paused in surprise and then
glanced around. He sasy the flower
girl picking up her wares and under
stood. Without moments hesitation
he went back to her, gave her enough
money to make her eyes sparkle with
Joy and said:
"I'm sorry, my dear, that hurt you.

he continued: "You said you were big
enough, young man, but you're a great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have lot to do with keeping

Then he caught his car, and the boy

THE WEATHER MAN.
A little boy with golden hair
Once sought his fathers knee;
"Oh, pepper, tell about the man
Who weather makes, quoth he.
What happens when the day is hot
And likewise hot the night,
And when the weather man remarks,
There's no relief in sight?"
The father shed a loving glance
A glance both kind and mild
Then heaved sigh and promptly
said:
1T always rains, my child
And, pepper, when the man declares
It's sure to rain for weeks,
Till drops descend in steady stream
From eyebrows, ears and beaks-
What happens then, oh, pepper mine,
Oh, tell your little dear.
What happens when the weather man
Proclaims it cannot clear?"
The father stroked the curly head
That rose above his knee,
And with another kindly smile,
at always clears" said he.
Then, Pepper" quot the lovely child,
pray tell me, if you can,
The proper name by which to call
Our funny weather man
The man who, standing in the sun,
Remarks it cannot clear;
And he who cannot see the rain
Until the rain is here?"
The father shook his shapely head,
Then said in accents slow,
THE name for him is not a word
That little boys should know"

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TUESDAY. AUGUST q, 1901.
THE CASE OF NoRDsTRoM..

A A a a II A A A i
THE CASE OF NORDSTROM..
AS an instance of the laws delays
and the safeguards which hedge
about anyone accused of crime in this
country. the famous Nordstrom case,
the hero of which was executed few
days ago in Washington, is probably
the most remarkable in the criminal
history of the country.
The verdict of guilty was returned
against Nortlstrom on January IS,
1892. A few days later motion for
a new trial was made and argued, but
it was denied by the court, after sew.
eral continuances, and on April the
sentence of death was passed and en-
tered of record. Then came an ap-
peal and an order that the appeal
should act as a stay of execution.
On May Is, 1894, the remitur was
received from the state supreme
court, affirming the judgment of con-
viction, and then, on June 20, 1894,
Judge Humes sentenced Nordstrom to
be hanged on August 81. Col. Lewis
then applied to the federal court for
a writ of ,habeasi corpus, asking that
the condemned man be released from
custody on the ground that under the
federal constitution he was entitled
to the right of being indicted by
grand jury not to be only informed
against by the prosecuting attorney.
Judge Hanford denied the applica-
ton from which action the case was
taken to the supreme court of the
United States, and stay of execu-
ton was granted by Judge Humes.
The appeal resulted in an affirma-
ton of Judge Hanfords decision and
the remitur reached the superior
court of King county on February II,
1897.
Judge Jacobs was then presiding
over the criminal department Of the
superior court, and on February 20
issued a second death warrant, fixing
April %. 1897, as the day of execu-
ton. Col Lewis then took second
recourse to habeas corpus, based on
the ground that the offense of murder
embraced three degrees and that, as
the information against Nord6trom
charged murder, it was not cOmpe-
tent for the jury to designate that the
crime was murder in the first degree.
From an adverse decision on this
question he again appealed to the
supreme court of the United States
and another stay of execution was
granted. On March II, 1899, the re.
mitur of this appeal was received
with it another affirmation of the
ruling of the lower court, and Judge
Jacobs, on May Is, issued third
death warrant to be executed on Au
gust II. But Col. Lewis was not vel
at the end of his resources.
During all these years the suspic
ion had gained credence in the minds
of those who were closely associated
with the prisoner that the man wa.
not of sound mind, and Mr.. Levi.
asked that Judge Jacobs summon
jury the pass upon the prisoners SAM
ty. This Judge Jacobs declined to dc
but appointed q commission of phys
clans to make an examination into tn
prisoner's mental condition and re
port to the court. Such action wa
taken and Nordstrom was pronounce
