The German Emperor when in any
way crossed or contradicted pulls vio-
lently at the lobe of his right ear with
the thumb and foreflnger of his right
hand, says London Answers. When he
was staying in England at the time of

gram and opened it in the presence of
one of his smart little nephews, a boy
of 6. Somthing in the telegram did
not please His Majesty, and he began
to tug at his ear. The little fellow
said:
Tell me, uncle, why do you pull

Information received in Washington
is to the effect that Germany has still
further reduced the time in which her
present naval programme is to be COM
pleted. At first the ships authorized
were to be completed by 1916, then the
time was changed for finishing up the
work to 1908. and now it has again
been changed TO 1906. That means that
in four years Germany will put into
commission new war ships as follows:
Seven battleships, two armored cruis-
ers, and five protected cruisers, in ad-
dition to number of torpedo boats
and destroyers. The German fleet will
then consist of thirty eight battleships,
fourteen armored cruisers and thirty
eight protected cruisers. Fifteen of
the new vessels are now in process of
construction, counting small craft as
well as large.

SCOTCH LASSIE WANTS A HUS-
.. BAND,

The fame of Lieutenant Governor
Bartlett and w. F. Gushing as matri-
monial boosters seems to have spread
to Scotland. During the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition they called attention
to the fact that North Dakota has &c.
600 more men than girls, and imme-
diately the girls from the eastern states
began ito send in applications for sthub-
bies." The state press had lots of fun
over the matter, but so many of the
ladies took it seriously that the mana
gers began to repent of their hasty
action. This week a letter came from
a bonnie lassie in Scotland who wishes
to secure a nativetborn American hus-
band and promises to make him a good
wife. She wrote such a nice letter that
Gushing says he intends to corral
some nice bachelor and have the girl
come across. Her name is Miss Mary
A. Bruce, and her address is st. An
drews, Fifeshire, Scotland.

GAMBLING FEVER

HOT SPRINGS HAS 1T, AND ALL
KINDS OF GAMES ARE OPEN TO
SPECULATION.
Editor Kellogg of jamestown writes
from Hot Springs: Drug stores, sa-
Icons and gambling clubs on every
hand. The whole resident popula-
ton of the Springs seems more OF less
infatuated with gambling mania. Por-
tiers, bell boys, bath house attendants,
clerks and visitors play at some
gambling device. The races is the IA
Vorite method of speculation and the
reports of every race in Memphis, New
Orleans or other tracks are sent by
wire daily, and big sums are won or
lost on tips that are generally
worthless. The Southern, Kentucky
and Arkansaw clubs are large elegant
" rooms OF two and three stories de-
voted wholly to gambling. Expensive
cafes are found in each, and the fra
ternity is as gentlemantly and pleas
ant a lot of fellows as can be found
at any similar resort in the world.
Many wealthy men while away a few
tedious hours at rolette and poker and
win and lose large sums. The safe OF
n of the houses was robbed the other
night of $120 in small change but it
was a small incident, apparently, to

A Washington special says that the
investigation OF the Christmas scandal
in connection with the treaty of our
chase Of the Danish West Indies has
established the fact that the notorious
captain is either a sfakir'' himself or
that he has been badly faxed. The
men to whom he claims in his .Se-
cret Report, to the Danish govern
ment to have paid money and given
contracts are unknown and irrespon-
sible persons, who simply kept 1bor-
rowing from him small sums of
moneys to $4OEunI1I his funds
were exhausted. One of these, a man
by the name of Knox, met accident
ally in a dining room, said he knew a
man who knew Senator Hanna. The
liberal captain Immediately gave him
a $4,000 contract, and at his urgent
request loaned him So. Another man,
a music teacher, met in a saloon, was
given the usual contract. This one
also sought and obtained a loan of $50.
OF course these magnificent sums were
supposed to be used in influencing leg
islation. The whole affair has proved
to be a veritable farce.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE,

just because Hon. C. N. Valentine
was not reappointed to the Fargo land
Office the LaMoure Chronicle thinks
the merit system cuts no figure in
the matter of federal appointments"
The exent of the Chronicle mans
reasoning seems to be that lone good
term deserves another" There exists
no logical a for a federal official
holding Office Indefinitely, and the
merit" system is not violated if a
good man who has held Office four
years is succeeded by another equally
as capable and worthy man. The fed
eral official who has held Office four
years and then complains and sulks
and goes back upon his party and the
political friends who have honored
him, is an migrate and thereby demon
strates the fact that he should never
A good party man and a true friend
to the party leaders responsible for his
elevation will, if the exigencies demand
it, step down and out of office graceful
ly and willingly. 1t frequently hap
ponds that federal officials can be re-
appointed to one or more terms but
there is a practical side to politics and
it frequently occurs that a few unpaid
political debts have to be paid and in
the ida some changes and
ONE disappointments follow. The
man who holds Office beyond the term
for which he was appointed in all
fairness ought to consider that he is
infringing just that much on the equity
if not the right of some other good
fellow. And what is true of federal
appointments is in a measure true of
state, county and city officials. There
has sprung into existence a rule, a
custom, that elective officers, where the
terms are as short as 2 years, if they
possess the proper qualifications other
wise, shall be rewarded with an en-
dorsement for a second term; but be-
yond that period they occupy the same
relative position with the party as the
federal official. 1t frequently tran
spires that those having the appoint
ing power, or opportunity to reward
merit, are ~ungrateful but Office holders
themselves frequently fail to properly
appreciate the kindnesses of the past.
