AFTERTHOUGHTs,

Columbus Daily Press.
With too many persons charity means only the
getting rid of what they don't happen to care
for.
The who is always offering to prove what
he says himself fixes the public estimate of his
morals.
There's nothing you add to take away
from plain. frank, honest man; he is a finished
composite epitome Of every human excellence.
While Shaksperes advice on the clothing ques.
tion Is good In its way, it's just as well to re.
member that thieves sometimes wear honest
mems clothes
It's positively shocking. when we come to
think of it, how badly men have guided some OF
the women the world condemns.
The stngy man has at least one good trait
he won't pay the cost of folly.
The difference between having pride and being
proud Is worth while learning early in life.
!, Just because you have succeeded is warrant
that you may not fail. The monument must be
erected before it can fall.
Nine times out Of ten reconsideration is the
other name for condemnation.

WOMAN GETS THE LAND
Celebrated Civil Case In Lincoln County
Settled by the PrlncIpais

Settled by the Principals
CANTON, S. D.-A noted civil action
which has numbered the docket. of the
district court for about ten years has been
settled. The case involved the ownership
OF a valuable quarter section in Norway
township. The land was taken as a home
stead in the seventies by John K. Moen,
who died some time afterwards, and the
title passed to his brother, John j., who
claimed to be the only heir. About a
year : after there came from Norway a
young woman, Johanna Bertena Johns
dotter Moen, who asserted she was the
illegitimate daughter of John K. Moen.
After many fruitless efforts to settle the
matter, it was, finally taken into court
where a verdict was returned in favor
of John J. Moen., The case was taken
to the supreme court however, and that
body reversed the decision Of the lower
court, deciding that the plaintiff was en-
titled to the land. And now, to avoid
further litigation, the principals have re-
Gently perfected a permanent settlement
whereby Johanna Bertena Johnsdotter
Moen, who is now Mrs. A. Tvedt, becomes
the undisputeds owner of the land.

JAG WAGON" LINE
States Attorney Would Harass the Traffic
Between Moorhead and Fargo.

FARGO, N. D.-Ever since the prohibi-
tion law went into effect in this state it
has been the custom of the Moorhead sa-
loon men to operate "jag wagons between
that city and Fargo. The rigs were used
to transport the thirsty across the Red
river. where liquor was in abundance. In
addition to that, the Jag wagons" also
delivered telephone orders on this side for
bottles Of the stuff and collected on deliv
cry.
The authorities never disturbed the
traffic till recently, when an announce
ment was made from the office of the
states attorney that the practice would
be prohibited. There is to be no interfer-
ence with the delivery of packages, but
the payment cannot be made at the time.
The money must either be sent in advance
- the goods delivered on credit.
Woorhead saloon men were notified of
the order, but some have violated it and
tSs arrests have been made.s The cases
EhaNe> not come up for hearing and the sa-
loon men will make big fight on the
ground that the order interferes with in
terstate commerce.
The state supreme court has adjourned
the Fargo term and the justices have re-
turned to Bismarck. One of the cases
likely to be heard there is that of Muir
derer Rooney, whose attorney is on the
war path over the mistake in sentencing
the prisoner, which resulted in re-sen-
tence and complications. He thinks Roo
ney can be saved on a technicality.
There Is much elation at the agricultu

controversy will be taken to the courts.
According to one of the members, the
opposition to Miss Barton has formulated

Their idea is to have an executive COM

each state, to be appointed by the COVER

This committee is intended to elect its
own officers. including an active presi-
dent, there being a provision that the

is more nearly in accord, they say. with
the constitution of the Red Cross organ
