The Daring Little HumminG Bird.

Courage has little or no relation to
bodily size. The humming bird is the
smallest of birds, but also one Of the
most fearless and pugnacious. He at
tacks kingbirds and hawks, and those
tyrannical creatures though Of mon
strous size in comparison, seem not at
all ashamed to fly from his o1sets.
The fights of humming birds among
themselves are often fierce and pro-
tracted.

A NARROWING RIDE.
Dickens Trip by StaGecoach FroI
Cleveland to Sandusky.

DlckcRS' TIP Dy StaSeco0cn FROM
Cleveland to Sandusky.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
ica in 1912, he Travelled by stagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, o. De-
scribing his experience, he wrote:
"At one time we were all thrown to-
gethcr in 4 heap at the bottom, of the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver, who certain
ly got over the ground in a manner
quite miraculous, so twisted and turn
cd the team in forcing passage cork
screw fashion through the boss and
swamps that it was common circInl-
stance on looking out Of the window to
see the coachman with the ends of
pair Of reins in his hands. apparently
driving nothing. and the leaders star
ing unexpectedly at one from the back
Of the coach, as if they had some idea
Of getting up behind.
~ great portion Oh the way WIS oEef
what is called a corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks OF trees
into q marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest Of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough,
it seemed, to have diSlocated all the
honns in tho hun1an body. It would be
impossible to- experience a similar set
Of sensations in any other circunl-
stances unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top Of st. Pauls in an
omnibus."
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads, gen.
orally speaking, as they were half a
century ago except in. q few wealthy
communities. There has been a won
derful change since then.

The rivalry existing at the pre-
sent time between our state educa-
tional institutions at Grand Forks
and Fargo promise to drag the
combating scholarly forces very
much into the elements of politics.
It appears that the state university
shows feelings of jealousy toward
the agricultural college at Fargo,
owing to the latter having secured
from the national government at
Washington appropriations to aid
in the making Of scientific and
geological researches in this state.
On the other side the president of
the agricultural college at Fargo
retaliates by accusing members of
the state university faculty Of
using its sources of information
relative to North Dakota's mineral
and clay deposit to the end of form
ing monopolies of capital and turn
ing these valuable finds to per-
sonal commercial value. The eli
max is reached, however, by Presi-
dent Worst, of the Fargo agricul-
tural college, who is a republican
of state renown, politically, accus-
ing President Merrifeld of the
state university at Grand Forks of
being democrat. If this grave
eharge be true it must be admitted
that the state university never had
Q better man at tho head of that
institution. The Fargo institution,
mp to date has the Worst of the
COW in more ways than one.

The old man referred to in the article
as Joseph St. Onger lives IN shanty in
Fremont township, close TO the residence
OF Mr.. Charles Chappell: on the evening
OF Feb. 9th at $50 p. NJ, he forced his
way into Mr.. Chappell's house and
would not leave the premises until 10
o'clock when he was finally induced to
withdraw. Mr.. Chappell's house con-
tanned four cases OF small pox and was

quarantine officer in charge and i'm
mediately went out to investigate the
matter and visited st. Onge in his cabin

township constable; VIM. Galloway

This step was taken by and with the
advice OF VIM. Wright, j. P. and one o.
the township supervisors. and Chas.
Van Norman, chairman OF the township
board. all OF which l fully endorsed
St Onge having broken through the
quarantine had rendered himself liable
to arrest. Immediately notified Judge
Dorval OF the circumstances, but before
the necessary papers arrived St Onge
had become so troublesome aud violent
that he was removed to Langdon for
examination before the proper authori-

St. Onge lives on land belonging to Mr..
Emanuel Epton, who knew nothing
about his being sent away or OF his
trouble until l informed him OF the
facts. He expressed himself as being very
much surprised as it was the first init
nation he had OF there being anything
wrong. The old man has no claim on
the land and never had, he simply lives
property. by suHerance. and has never
been molested and has not been at this
time. No conspiracy has been Matched
to GUST him IRON it as none would be
necessary il MIR. Epton wished him to
vacate.
There has been no secrecy in this
matter as the article in question would
