Boy Shoots Busik's Horse.

The thirteen year old son OF
Mr.. Cox, the engineer of the
stationary engine at the Great
Northern round house shot a
horse belonging to John Busik
in a pasture north of town ESun-
day afternoon with a % caribre
rifle. The bullet went through
the horses lungs. -Four
boys had chased the horses
about the pasture and Young
Cox took the rifle saying that he
did not think the bullet would
do any damage as the horse was
quite a distance away. The
bullet went straight to the mark
and the horse will die. Busik
learned who did the shooting
and he came to town Monday
and says he will have the lad ar
rested and sent to the reform
school if possible.

G. H. WEBsTER-We just got

the Mercantile Co. 1t took forty
five days for them tocome. They

cherries, peas, sardines and other
fancy groceries. l tell yon Mi
not is drawing on the whole
world for supplies now. Why,
last week, we got car load OF
oranges from Mexico. We get
goods direct from Germany,
France and Japan.
A BUSINESS MAN-There is no
doubt but that the new Gran
ville-Mohall branch will take con-
siderable trade from Minot but
there are just two things we will
have to do to overcome this.
We must give the farmer more
for his product than they can
get in the country towns, and we
must see that they get a higher
price for their grain. We mer-
chantscanlook after the products
but we may have to depend on
the elevator men to their part
with the grain. What I am in
favar of, is for the business men
to go in and build an elevator
and hire a man to run it. We
would not expect to make a cent
more than the mans salary and
in that way. could pay two or
three cents more a bushel for
grain than could be. secured in
the other towns. This is worth
considering believe.

Hauling Coal With Wagons.

h The mine owners near Burl.
ington are all indignant on &C
count of the failure of the 500 to
provide cars for the shipment OF
coal. The 500 finds it inconven-
lent to provide cars and does not
take pains to remedy the matterl
One mine owner told an Indep-
Iendent representative Saturday
that he had not had a 500 car
this month and had been able to
get but six Great Northern cars.
His mine had a contract with
Minot parties to furnish a GER
tain amount of coal and it was
necessary for him to send the
coal to Minot twelve miles with
wagons in order to fulfill the
contract. 1t is impossible to
give the miners work enough to
keep them in board and many
are leaving. Every man quit
the Nostrum mine because Ahe
owner could not ship the coal,
The 500 is not using the mine
owners right, nor the people Of
the state. Soon we will have
cold weather and the mines will
be behind with their orders.
Many will suffer for want Of fuel.

THROWN FROM TORN BALLOON.
English Aeronaut's Awful Fall from
His Airship While Making an
Ascent in China.

Mr.. Stanley Spencer. who steered
his airship over the C. !y of London
last September, has admany startling
adventures, some Of which London
M. A. P. describes. Mr.. Spencer made
his first balloon ascent when he was
Ia. When he began to make parachute
descents he went all over the world.
In Cuba he received gold medal, and
had the doubtful pleasure of reading
his own obituary, prematurely pub
lished.
It was in China that he produced the
greatest impression on the natives.
The results were so serious, in fact,
that the mandarins ordered him to
'move on" The people were so ex-
cited by his descents that, in emula-
tion, they took to hurting themselves
off the roof-tops, with disastrous re-
suits. At Canton he fell into the river
three times, and was ignominiously
fshed out by Chinese women armed
with boat hooks. But such incidents
are details to an aeronaut.
Mr.. Spencer considers that he has
had only onereal accident in the course
of his whole adventurous and
dangerous career. That occurred
at Hong-Kong, and the story
of it sounds incredible. In the prepar-
alton for a parachute descent one of
his Chinese assista nts held on to his
rope too long, with the result that
great rent was torn in the balloon.
Rather than disappoint the crowd, Mr..
| Spencer determined to trust to his
luck, and gave the order to letgo The
balloon shot up, the hot air-gas was
not to be had-pouring from the fis-
sure. The aneroid soon marked 600
feet, and the parachutist was begin
| ming to get ready for the drop when
the balloon suddenly collapsed, and
after vain endeavor to loosen the
parachute, he fell like a stone.
During the whole of that fall he was
| conscious, and felt no fear, only dim
wonder as to when he would strike.
| Twice he turned completely over, and
| then crashed on to rocky cliffs $50 feet
| above the sea level. Some sailors who
were among the spectators rushed to
| pick up his remains, and found him
not only alive, but conscious.
''Are you hurt?" they asked with the
faulty of men deeply moved.
| "Only carried away mainstay,
boys" was the CHEEKY response, and
then the aeronaut tainted. He had
broken his thigh-bone, but that and
some bruises were his only injuries.
That one could fall $50 feet on rocks
and live sounds incredible; but the ex-
planation lies in the fact that the
aeronaut' struck the sloping side of the
/ cliff and slid down to the bottom.

A CLEVER "TIP" COMBINE.
Little scheme for Catch
ing the Coin.

"One clever waitress in restaurant
downtown can beat anybody 1 ever
saw getting tips said salesman, ac-
cording to the New York Herald. 1T
was only by accident that found out
her little game, but was curious and
went there often, so now know how
she manages it.
"The tables she served were patron
lied mostly by men. As it was more of
a quick lunch place, the patrons were
not very liberal with tips. This girl
was nice, genteel sort of person,
with curly hair and baby eyes. She
and another girl, a stenographer,
formed little partnership and start
ed out with a capital of 25 cents.
"The stenographer was pretty and
possessed superior style and manner.
Every day she would enter the res
laurent during rush hours, select
chair at one of her partners tables,
and always endeavor to find place
near the most prosperous looking man
in sight. Of course, each day there
would be strange faces and another
audience to play to.
"After she had finished her luncheon
she would calmly hand the waitress
quarter and the waitress would look
exceedingly grateful and happy. No
body would ever surmise by the inno-
cent faces of those girls that they
were putting up a bunco game.
''Of course, it was the most natural
thing in the world for the men around
to notice, and noticing, conclude not
to be outdone by a woman. Conse-
quently, the gentleman sitting next
would leave quarter at his place, and
the others would all sit around feel
ing like 80 cents. Some of them would
part with dime, just to keep up ap-
pearances, and some of them wouldn't t
give cent; but as rule the little
game worked.
s''All the money received from this
source would go into convenient
pocket and the proceeds were divided
equally at the end of the week. OF
course, the 'decoy' quarters came out
of the capital and went back into the
business. It is an actual fact that
those girls are putting money in the
| bank"

DOING HIS WASHING.
How a Messenger Roy Removed tho
Stains of Travel from His
Collar and Dickey.

A messenger boy, whose blue uni
form had more than the usual number
of grease spots, to say nothing OF
few torn places, came into the rear
car of the IL train and threw himself
into one of the cross seats, relates the
New York Tribune. Opposite was
woman old enough to have been his
grandmother, though the idea OF such
a grandson would have shocked her.
The boy whistled bar or two Of the
latest Rialto success, but stopped when
he noticed the look of pain on her face.
He took off his cap, and, pulling out
dirty handkerchief, began to polish
the brass sign which said that he was
No. 3,114. The old woman was watch
ing him closely. Presently it shone
to his satisfaction, and the cap was
replaced on his curly head.
For short time he was content with
doing nothing. Then he loosened his
faded red necktie and took off his
collar. He moistened his handkerchief
with his lips and began to scrub the
piece of celluloid. AS his handkerchief
was as dirty as it well could be, the
operation was hardly successful.
What are you trying to do, boy?"
asked the old woman, when she could
| no longer contain herself.
aThis is Monday, so I'm doin' me
washin'," he answered, smiling. "You
object any?"
| rs that all the washing your collar
ever gets?" she questioned, her look Of
pain increasing.
/ "Sure, an it's all it needs. That's
what we wears celluloid for-you can
wash 'em yourselves. Me dickey's
made of celluloid, just like the
collar"
i "Your dickey!" she said, wondering.
ly. boy, what is your dickey?,
He pulled it out and showed her a
makeshift for a white shirt. 1t was
just large enough to cover the open
i ing in his vest.
1T needs washin', too," he said, as
though surprised at the fact. He be-
gan to scrub it.
/ Here, boy, try clean handker-
chief" said the old woman, handing
| over her dainty bit Of cambria.
I After that the washing was more
successful, and when finished the boy
handed it back to her, with 'Thanl
you, ma'am," a phrase which he wal
mot used to seying.

Millions of butterflies are eaten
every year by the Australian aborig-
ines. The insects congregate in vast
quantities on the rocks of the Bugong
mountains and the natives secure
them by kindling fires of damp wood
and thus suffocating them. They then
are gathered in baskets, baked, sifted
to remove the wings, AID finally
pressed into cakes.

Business Regulations In Germany.
Business methods are largely reg
ulated by law in Germany, and there
is not the individual liberty in such
matters as there is in this country.
For example, if a manufacturer makes
false statements of any kind about
his products, any business man may
bring suit against him, the penalty
being fine or imprisonment. Nor can
a dealer advertise removal sale, =
and then restock his store and con-
\ tinue business at the "old stand"
| Such phrases as "the best in the
world" and superior to all others, .
are not allowed in advertisements, as
they are considered detractions OF
| compet mpetitors.-Cleveland Leader.
