FIRESIDE TALKS.
Mr.. Perkins Makes Another Point
Over His Wife.

Early in the spring. observed Mrs.
Perkins at the dinner table the other
evening, Il spoke to you about getting
an ice cream freezer for the summer,
and you replied that we should surely
nave one. l mentioned the matter
again at intervals, and each time you
were ready with a promise. Autumn
is now here, and yet we have had no
freezer 1 presume you have some
thing to say for yourself, Mr.. Perkins
Il presume you have?''
Certainly, my dear" he replied.
by consulting my diary 1 see that it
was on the 22d of March that you first
spoke about the freezer. AS it was
cold enough to freeze a castiron dog
at that time, you did not press the
come enthusiastic. When the ground
is frozen three feet deep one turns
timidly to ice cream freezers-very
timidly."
But spoke of it again.
You did. 1 find ONE remarks of
yours recorded under date of April
18th. You didn't ask me to guarantee
you a freezer later on-a positive guar
antee but you observed that without
one you would be snubbed by the So
cial four hundred. 1 was taking a
spring tonic at the time and thinking
of Ice cream only at long intervals"
But In June you did PROMISE" in
sisted Mrs. Perkins
"On the 5th of June. as here record
ed, my love, / made a conditional
promise. You opened the freezer
question again quite Unexpectedly, and
said that we should either have to
have one or move into some poor
ne1ghborhood, and L promised to stop
at hardware store and see about it,
Right here, in my own diary, in my
own handwriting, is that promise, and
it would be foolish in me to deny it,
But you didn't get the freezer. You
don't find 1T entered in your diary, in

do you?''
True. my dear, and will now
state my reasons. When I stopped to
look at them the hardware man was
honest enough to say that they would
not produce ice cream without natural
cream. I could see afterwards why
not, but at that time it was quite
shock to me. I had an idea that all
you had to do was to turn the handle
and set a washtub under the spout.
When I found that we must have
cream from COW
''Of course we must have cream. How
could you be such an idiot?i
And where was that cream to come
from, Mrs. Perkins? Do we own a
COW? Could I afford to go and pay $40
for a COW and the expense of keeping
her through the summer for the sake of
half a dozen dishes of ice cream? Just
take 1T as a question of finance and
answer me-"
I'VE don't want a cow" she replied.
"One can get cream of the nilkman
when wanted"
THAT idea occurred to me, my dear,
but was at once offset by several 9TH
ers. Do you know that cream is the
most dangerous of all foodstuffs? More
germs are taken into the system through
cream than in all else we eat or drink.
In one single quart of fresh cream 4
Professor Dobler discovered no less
than 17,000 600 deadly germs. Compre-

GOES TO PEMBINA.
Trial Of nartzeIi and Bascom For Murder Of
Stoddard to be Called in January.

The trial of Attorneys Hartzell and
Bascom for the murder of Stoddard on
July 7th will be held in January and it
is expected that the place of trial will
be moved from Langdon to Pembina.
at least statement to such effect was
made last week by Judge Kneeshaw at
the time of taking an adjournment of
court. The case though placed for trial
in January is likely to be granted a
continuance until some time in the fol-
lowing month as the judges in all the
judicial districts have term of court set
for January. Just who will be the trial
judge when the case comes up has not
been determined, owing mainly to this
reason. Hartzell and Bascom are still
in Jail here, although their removal to
Pembina is likely to be ordered at the
adjournment of the present term of

For yesu the Grand Forks Herald
has made . feature of its reports Of the
proceedings Of the state legislature at
Bismarck. This winter it's reports will
be unusually thorough. Many important
matters are to be decided. A United
States senator is. to be elected, and
there are several aspirants for the
place. The popular demand for q
change in the method Of nominating
party candidates has made it practically
certain that primary law will be
passed, and several bills for this pur-
pose are now being prepared. A board
of control bill will undoubtedly be pre-
sented. There are rumors of important
legislation affecting railroads. These
and other questions that will develop
are of interest to all the people of the
state. and no one who wishes to keep in
touch with the affairs of the state can
afford to be without carefully pre-
pared daily record of the proceedings of
the session. The Herald will be repre-
sented at Bismarck by Mr.. c. NJ. Scott,
whose work during the session two
years age was the subject of favorable
comment all over the state.
During the two months of the ses-
sion. January and February, the Daily
Herald will be sent to any address for
80 cents paid in advance. This will
give an opportunity for people all over
the state to secure report of the pro-
ceedings from an absolutely unbiased
source. Orders may be sent in at any
