HOW SOME WORK IT.
Sell Half Pint and the Customer
Does the Rect.

Forum: Reputable North Dakota
druggists are sorely displeased with
the operation of the new Shells law,
and the conduct of number of drug
stores throughout the state selling
nquor under the necessary permits.
1t is claimed that only few reputable
druggists are able to comply with the
law and get permit. The chief OBJ
stacle is their strictly respectable en-
vironments and the indisposition OF
females to sign petitions as required by
the statute. The law appears to be
little radical in this respect and could
be amended without injury to the pro-
hibition cause, and without opening "a
field for the INSCRIPTIONS.
A travelling man, whose name could
not be learned. came into Fargo yes
terday from a trip over the state. He
stated that while in town in the
northwestern part of the state he
visited drug store. While waiting to
interview the proprietor man entered
the store, and signing up in the regu-
lar way secured quart Of whisky The
travelling man noted the transaction,
and after the customer had left with
his booze. suggested to the druggist
that he was taking desperate chances
of being pinched for violating the
Shells law, which says that one-half
pint is the maximum dose to be dis
posed of to a single customer at an!
one visit.
"Oh. no." said the druggist with {
significant smile, Il am perfectly safe

charged by Carter with having malic-
iously printed and circulated pamph-
lets containing the opinion of the same
Judge.
Judge Seaman answered the ques-
ton in the negative, telling the pain
tiff that the opinions expressed by a
Judge from the bench are privileged
communications for which he could
not be held for account except through
impeachment proceedings. The judge
refused to allow the filing of the suit.
Carter has had his suit ready for
filing for several weeks, and he went
before Judge Seaman to get leave to
sue as a poor person, thus avoiding
payment of the court costs. The plain
tiff asks $1OO,OOO for alleged damage
to his reputation.

Gay by a local preacher who was in
need of a pint Of brandy for medicinal
purposes The druggist informed the
reverend gentleman that he did not

if he had he would not be permitted
to sell it. The preacher was informed
that he would have to make his pur-
chase in Moorhead. He stated that it
wouldn't do for him to enter a saloon
and asked the druggist to secure it for
him The druggist hesitated, but at
last reluctantly consented. He called

drawn, though the publication teens
with interesting notes upon what are
regarded as points of fact. The ref
erences to foreign trade were chiefly
confined to France, Germany and the
United States.
One of the most important phases
dealt with in the blue book are i'm
ports and exports. The tables show
that exports from the United Kingdom
to the United States declined from
s145,OoO GOO in 1890 to S97 500 600 in
1902. while the imports rose from

exports to all foreign countries de-

Rho chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta
was the fourth Greek letter sorority es-
tablished at the University of Nebraska,
the first three being Kappa Kappa
Gamma. Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Theta.
The charter was applied for by Cert
rude Laws (Mrs. Will e. Hardy, Min
ME Latta (Mrs. c. r. Ladd), Dena
I.oomis (Mrs. Guy Gere Of Honolulu),
Elizabeth BonneIl (Mrs. Carl Williams
of Chicago). and Annie Childe (Mrs.
Clark F. Ansley Of Iowa City. Iowa).
Kate Wilder Cross came up from Law
renee, Kansas. and initiated these girls
April z. 1887, in the Sigma Chi hall,
which had been generously given for the
impressive ceremony.
During the next four years only seven
girls were found who satisfied the very
exacting requirements demanded by
these few Thetas, and at no time did
the chapter roll exceed nine members.
But this exclusiveness necessitated the
return Of the charter, for in 1890 when
three Of the active members graduated,
two went abroad, two married, and two
went to other cities to live, and 1t was
decided to let the chapter lapse.
During the next few years numerous
pctitiOHS were TcScitcO dSAluS ucip
of the alumnae In bringing back the
charter, but II was not until the fall of
1895 that the time seemed opportune for
its return. The university attendance
had by this time increased to 1900 and
the sororities from one to four.
The ten Theta alumnae members hv-
ing In Lincoln were all anxious to see
a strong chapter again established in
the University, 50 six girls were select
ed, and after several months of work
and investigation on the part Of the
grand council. the charter was re-
granted.
The rumor of these prospects created
no little interest, at least this is what
appeared in a University paper at the
time:
quite a little excitement was created
Monday by the report that Kappa Alpha
Theta had organized, but there seems
to be no foundation for the report as
