A TEST CASE.
The Brookinss Club Association Brought
Into Court.
Answers to Complaint of Selling Liquor
Contrary to Law.


BY order Of the city council Marshal
Gullick caused the arrest OF the presi-
dent and manager of the Brookings
Club Association last week Thursday
and their trial occurred on Saturday.
Considerable interest has been mani
tested in this trial, as the right of
handling liquors and of dispensing
them TO members OF the club is in
question. The preliminary trial was
held at the city hall on Saturday
afternoon before Judge Aldrich; City
Attorney Hall acting as counsel for
the city and Alexander & Hooker for
the defense. A number of witnesses
were examined, principally members
OF the club, and no attempt was made
to deny the fact that liquors were dis
pensed at the club TO its members.
In fact samples OF the stuff were
brought to the court room by the city
marshal and placed in evidence. No
attempt was made to prove what the
bottles contained but the city attor-
aey, after removing several of the
shoppers and smelling Of the contents,
said with smile upon his handsome
countenance, that it wasn't hair oil,
1t was quite amusing to see the
thirsty look upon the faces Of that
crowded court room when this row of
bottles was, arrayed in front OF His
Honor. The close proximity Of liquid
refreshments apparently had no effect
upon the Judge for with calm dignity
he weighed the evidence and pro-
nounced the sentence Of ten days in
jail and a fine of $50 to each one OF
the defendants. An appeal was at
once taken to the circuit court.
The trial brought out the peculiar
workings Of the club and there seems
to be quite a diversity of opinion on
the result. 1t seems that the club
has been incorporated under the laws
ofSouth Dakota and, as we understand
it, claims the right to dispense liquors
to its members. This claim is evi
IDENTIFY to be disputed by the prosecu
tion.
The preliminary trial brought out
the fact that any one who desired a
membership in the club was com
PEELED to sign an application blank and
then his name was voted on by those
who were already members. On be
ing accepted as a member, the party
deposited certain amount Of money
in return for which he received com.
mutation ticket or tickets as the case
might be. When member visited
the club and he wanted a lunch, a
glass of beer, or any of the refresh
ments with which the establishment
was provided, he would offer this
ticket which was supposed to repre-.
sent his membership, and the mana.
ger or dispenser OF refreshments would
punch the ticket showing the value
placed upon that which had been
called for.
There was nothing brought out, at
least while the REGISTER representa-
tive was present, showing how the
books OF the association were kept OF
who shared in the protts of the bust.

the defense is Withholding its evidence

The little Finger,

Adopts in palmistry assert that the
length of the fourth or little finger Is
the most important sign In the hand
There Is no great man-no man who
rises to Importance in any line of life
without a long and straight little fin
ger.
The type Of finger. whether spatu
late, pointed or very nearly square
causes the capacity TO be directed into
very different channels. With the long
spatulate little finger success In busl-
ness will result, while the long pointed
one denotes tact and the management
of people.
This indeed is the finger of 'whec-
die" The old saying. ITO turn people
round your little finger" is. like most
old proverbs, the result Of continued
and close observation and In the case
of 1.-The long pointed Mercury" as Ben
Jonson In The Alchemist calls the
fourth finger, is undoubtedly entirely

How Coal May he Saved.

When it is understood that the same
amount of fuel is consumed in produc-
Ing either gas or heat 1t Is readily seen
why one person will use four times as
much coal as another without produc-
IT., any more heat, IL as much. When
feeding coal after the fire is made, only
small quantity should be fed at n
time, and that spread evenly over the
surface OF the fire, for when fresh c0a!

A sacred Chinese Coin.

One of the coins of the Chinese En-
peror Kanghi Is very much sought aft
er by the Chinese. who use it in max
ing rings for the finger. 1t is slightly
different from the other cash issued
under the same emperor in the form of
one of the characters that indicate the
regnal period. The Chinese call it 10
han cash." the word LO-han being a
transcript in Chinese characters of tho
Sanskrt word Arhan, venerable
the name applied to the eighteen at
tendants of Buddha. who are frequent
ly seen ranged along the two sides of
the principal halls in Buddhist tenn
pies.
The tradition is that while the en-
peror was intimately associated with
European missionaries he became i'm
bued with feeling of contempt for
Buddhism and illustrated this phase
OF his faith by having a set of eighteen
brass Lo-han images melted down and
cast into cash. This brass Is said to
contain a considerable portion of gold;

Exchange went to restaurant for

the bill of fare each announced what
he wanted.

In few minutes the two bass on a
platter and two plates were placed on
the table. One bass was larger than
the other, and the financier before
whom the platter had been placed
calmly passed the smaller bass to his
companion.
Now | call that n downright mean

smaller bass.
What Is IL mean trick?
"Why, to give me the smaller bass
and keep the big one for yourself"
What would you have done if you

the larger one"
"Well, in that case should have had
