CASSIE'S TONGUE
 REFUSES TO WAC

Cleveland, Dec. 20-Mrs. Chadwick was brought into the bankruptcy court today in the proceedings against her, but was excused from testifying be cause of illness. Whether she will again be summoned will depend on counsel for Receiver Loeser, whose attorneys are expected to take up the matter. Should Mrs. Chadwick again be brougth into court it is undoubted- ly true she will not give any testi- mony. When she does it will be against the advice of her attorneys who have even refused to allow her to be sworn as a witness.

at this time when all of the big insti-
 tutions have on their holiday gatb and
 the many thousands of attractive items
 suggestive of and applicable to a sea son of gift giving are advantageously
 displayed for the shoppers pleasure and convenience. While cogitating along these lines and admiring the ! elaborate spreads arranged Tn the big show windows the writer halted before one of our stores where he has hesi- tated hundreds of times before % ad- mire the pretty and costly wares on display. We have frequently drawn comparison between this establishment and those carrying the sane line in other small cities, have also liaed it up with the stores of the big cities and we found our selves regarding it as the equal of most of these astab- | lishments in the large trade centers.
 But at this time-during this holiday season-are we brought to wonder at the magnificent goods arrayed fer the patronage of those who seek enduring and the most richly prized gifts. We dare say if you have read so far you have easily guessed the institution to which we refer.
 That the city of Prescott should have as one of its institutions such house as the George H. Cook & Co.,, jewellers, is a matter in which they should justly take pride. If any one in this vicinity has never taken this view of the matter we suggest that you make a special visit to the store for the purpose of informing yourself and doing justice to an establishment that would be a credit to a city ten times as large. Don't be context to stapd on the outside and admire the window display of diamond studded jewelry but visit the store, look over the large display of solid silver ware in numerous designs and patterns
 observe the comprehensive line of fine gold watches for women and uen; carefully criticize the cases filled gith expensive jewelry in pins, bracelets, necklaces, chains, charms, badges, rings and ornaments; note the com prehensive display of bronze, brass and mantle clocks; study the magaifi- cent array of beautiful cut glass, St to grace the table and sidebosrd e a king; visit the cases filled with masi- cal instruments; see the fine. assort- ments carried in leather goods, brush es, manicure and toilet sets. hand painted china, canes, umbrellas, opera glasses and numerous other beautiful, useful and endurable items and then ask yourself the question of whether you should not join the proprietors in feeling a great pride in such an esrab lisbment. After ouch a visit to Shis store you will certainly feel a senss of shame at the bare suggestion of sead- ing elsewhere to purchase those things which yon can here select to so much better advantage. It Is more satiszac- tory and much cheaper in the long gun to patronize home institutions and this is an appropriate season of the year to criticize and compare the cam mercial benefits that we enjoy anG to command the enterprise of our mer- chants ty resolving to pow and in She future buy only of our home dealers.

Threw In tho Tobacco.

In city stores where clerks have
no control over the prices of goods
the old time practice of Throwing
in" something with purchase has
gone out of fashion. Years ago,
however, when 'Long john Went
worth, afterward Mayor Wentworth
of Chicago, was clerk in a grocery
store, it was an established custom.
A certain customer was particularly
urgent in his appeals for what in
New Orleans is called ''lagnappe."
sNow. Johnny, my hoy" he said
on one occasion when he had bought
gallon of molasses, "can't ye just
throw in a trifle of fine cut ?"
Young Wentworth looked at him
for moment; then his eye twin
kled.
Certainly" he said, and, uncork-
ing the jug, he 'Sthrew ih' handful
OF chewing tobacco. It cured the
man of his habit of asking for q
bonus, if not of the habit Of chew
ing tobacco.

PROOF AGAINST COLD.
Insects Not Injured by She Lowest OF
Low Temperatures.

The severest cold has no terrors
for insect life 1t has been shown
by experiments that insects mey be
artificially or naturally frozen, sub
jected, indeed, to very low tempera-
lures, without killing or even injur-
ing them. Eggs, larvae, the pu-
p@, the stages in which most insects
pass the winter, are perfectly i'm
mune to cold. t
It is common idea that cocoons
of insects serve as protection
against cold, cut this is entirely er-
ro1 enus. They, like the summer
webs Of webworms, are protection
against birds and insect parasites,
but not against cold. The cococrs
of summer broods are as stout and
thick as those Of the generations
that pass the winter. Moths. but
terflies and other insects build stout
er and more compact cocoons in
tropical and torrid countries than
they do in those climates where they
are besieged by winter. There are
many insects, allied to the builders
of cocoons, that make no such COW
ering, the pupa or the chrysalis be-
ing left entirely exposed. And SO
little heat is maintained by the pu-
pn of insects that no matter how
thick the cocoons they are always
too slight to repcl freezing cold.
Certain degrees of frigidity seem
to have vastly different effects on
different species Of insects. Gnats
and midges dance in the winter sun
shine; butterflies-vanessa, grapta
and sometimes collias-skim over
the snow; wasps and bees wind their
way through the leafless woods,
ground beetles run quickly over the
cold earth, crickets peep from be-
meath stones and rotting logs, while
other species-the vast majority in
fact-are locked in the lethargy of
Information. One of the common
est evidences of this Information is
to be seen when firewood is carried
into the house and placed near the
warm stove. 1t takes only short
time to bring out a swarm of ants
that were sleeping in beetle borings,
their common retreat.-St. Nicho-

ary of $40 week was so small that
it seemed long time between pay
days. So, as matter Of economy,
he got married
He had the good luck to get
smart girl for a wife who had lit
erary ambitions. AT the end Of the
first three months they were in debt
to everybody who would trust them,
and they held consultation as to
whether it would be wiser to go into
bankruptcy or move over to Jersey.
Economy and rctrenchment were
discussed at every meal, but in prac-
tice they went from bad to worse,
and the young husband began to
lose color and have worn nd anx-
ious look.
One evening he came home with
bundle under his arms, his head
held high, his step buoyant and a
gleam Of triumph in HIS eye. His
, wife was glad to see him thus and
made certain that he had at last got
the raise i'll salary for which both
had been hoping. She set the even
ing meal before him and waited for
him to say something, but, manlike,
he kept her waiting. At last, when
she could stand it no longer, she
asked him:

1t is a happy state OF affairs, and

It is a happy state OF affairs, and
we take pleasure in complimenting
the citizens of Mclean county on
their good fortune in having their
county government in such good
condition financially. There are
but few counties in North Dakota
able to make a better showing. And
we say that it reflects credit upon
every officer connected with the
administration Of county affairs
during the past eight years-it
! shows them to have been consery-
ative, and it shows them to have
been honest. 1t shows them to
have been faithful to the trust that
the electors Of the county reposed
in them when they elevated them
to the positions that they have oc-
cupied. Tt shows that the Repub-
lican party did not err when they
recommended these men, who have
identified themselves with county
affairs during the past eight years
for the sutfrageo of the voters Of Nc
Lean county. True, they have done
nothing but their duty, but in the
performance Of their duty theyhave
been honest, they have been faith
full.
Especially to the County Com
missioners should be given a large
amount of credit. With them rests
agreat deal Of responsibility. That
they have been economical and
that they have conservative, no one
can gainsay. Under their manage
men, there has been no graft and
there has been no squandering Of
public funds. Their motto has
been that a public office is public
trust, and public funds entrusted
to a public officer is equally as a
cred as is the funds Of a private
citizen in his own hands and should
be expended with the same judi
ciousness and with the same care,
The Board exercises the greatest
care possible in the transaction Of
their business and no bill or claim
against the county is audited and
allowed until every reasonable pre-
caution is taken to ascertain chat
it is a just and legal charge against
the county.
The Republican county nomi-
nees of 1904, collectively and indi-
vidually stand upon the past record
Of the party, and the financial state
ment Of the county, published else
where in this issue, is the true and
verified record Of the Republican
party of Mclean county in the
management of county affairs and
every nominee on the ticket of 1904
is pledged by the party to a con-
tinuation Of past honesty and past
conservativeness. We do not pre-
tend to dictate what the verdict of
the electors should be, but we do
say that the Republican party and
it's nominees are entitled to the re-
spect and the confidence of the tax
payers of Mclean county, and to
their support at the polls next No.
