The Favored Spot.


Minneapolis Journal: The best
northwestern crop report received SO
far this season came this morning
from the Bisma rex extension of the
500 road just covered by party of
Minneapolis grain men. The general
outlook is pronounced more favorable
than ever before known. The wheat
has large, well-developed heads,
which when examined were filing
nicely and in spots there was a show
ing warranting an estimate of twenty
five bushels to the acre. These
favored spots were numerous and
will bring up average yields mater
tally. 1t is predicted that large
proportion of the northwest crop than
ever before received in Minneapolis
will come this season from along the
500 in Richland, Sargent, Dickey
and Mcintosh counties, North Dako-
ia, and Campbell county, South Da-
kota. The run from Hankinson to
Pollock shows conditions almost
uniformly good.
Barley is ripe in this territory, and
from the present outlook, with fair
weather meanwhile, wheat cutting
should begin August 10 to Is.

sands of pounds were doubtless spent

very large. 1t is commonly reported
that Rufus Isaacs, K. c., who, with
Mr.. Avery, K. c., and Emery Steph.
anson, conducted the prosecution, had
500 guineas- say $500 marked up
on his brief, with daily refresher OF
100 guineas, which would make his
compensation for the actual court
work $500.
In the usual course Mr.. Avery
would receive fee of two-thirds the
amount of Rufus Isaac's fee and Mr.
Stephenson's fee would amount tc
twothirds of Mr. Avery's fee. If this
system was followed, and there is Mt
reason to believe it was not, Mr..
Avery received $4,000 and Mr.. Steph-
enson $4,000, or a total Of, approx
mately, $4,000 for the three counsels.
Ransom Walker is said to have had
no less than 5000 guineas marked on
his brief for the defense, but this
was, to at least 1900 guineas, spec
ial' fee, and his associates would not
therefore receive the same proper
tional amounts. However, it is not
improbable that the defendants coun-
sci were paid something more, and
probably considerably more, than
$4,000 for their services.

TRAINING OUR GUNNERs.

Great Care il Observed in the SeIec-
ton OF Gun Pointers.
It is only half the work 10 arm and
equip ships win the most improved
guns and sights; they must also have
highly trained personnel capable of
manipulating guns, turrets and tor
pedoes. When China found herself
arrayed against Japan she offered
$500 cash per month for skilled gun
pointers, but in all great navies gun
pointers are trained, not bought, and
when the fight is on it is too late for
instruction.
How does man become an expert
gunner? Diligent drill and constant
training are not enough without a
certain amount of natural aptitude.
One man after another is tried. A
few days drill in the turrets elimi-
mates all except the fairly promis-

Selecting gun-pointers is one OF the
most important duties in the navy
Having selected the men for gun
pointers, the next step is to train
them. Two methods are now in
vogue, both having the same prin-
ciple, but differing in detail. In the
old days of sails and smooth bore
guns, the invariable rule-and the
only rule the gun-captains knew
was this: Fire at the top of the

ENTERTAINING IN DARKNESS
Novel Idea in Dinner Parties That
Comes From Switzerland.

The very latest idea in entertain
ing halls, not from across the Allan
tic, but from Paris and smart Swiss
towns where the season is just begin
ming, where the thing now is to en-.
terrain your guests, if not entirely
in the dark, at any rate in darkness
or semi-darkness, all the time.
At a dinner party the hors-doeuvres
and soup are served as usual in a
brilliantly. lighted apartment, and
then, to the CONSERVATION of people
who are new to the idea, the light
goes out.
Then the door opens and the ser.
wants come in carrying brilliantly IL
Illuminated dishes containing the fish !;
and, as each guest takes his or her
portion, they help themselves to a
light at the same time, and when
every one is served the effect is fairy
like.
Suppose the fish contains lobster
in some form or other, the electric
light shade is in the shape of the
kead of the lobster, and sheds a de-
lightful red glow over the table.
The most ingenuity, however, is
shown wher the ices are served.
Generally, huge bird or beast, basket
or cornucopia made of ice is wheeled
into the room, blazing with lights and
filled with ices. When each guest is
served the light goes out, and only
those on the plates illuminate the
room.
When strawberry ices are served
the shades take either the form OF
the berry itself in crimson or the pure
white blossom. These are given al
ternately to the guests, and have the
prettiest effect.
At big Swiss hotel the ice is serv-
ed in this way each evening. A fa
vorite design is a Swiss chalet. This
is wheeled in brilliantly Illuminated.
In each apartment are two lights and
two ices, and when every one is help
ed the twinkling lights die away, and
the chalet disappears on it's invisible
wheeled table.
Another popular way of serving the
ice is the polar scene. Blocks OF
glass represent the icebergs, and the
electric light is swathed in cookbook
ing blue, while the snow is made o.
white ice cream. Sometimes few
white china animals are placed in
inches in the glass to give greater
effect.-London Daily Mai,

WHEN JENNIE LAUGHS.

A light foot fits adown the stair,
A Tilt of laughter trills the air;
She comes; her merry music swells
Like carol from deep wildwood dells,
Or chime from dreamland's airy
bells,
When Jennie laughs.
In sunlight at my study door
Her slender shadow fiecks the floor;
An instant, tip-toe poised, she bides
To scan if aught her presence chides;
But naught save welcome there be-
tides;
She nods-and laughs!
Her white arms round my neck she
slips,
She prints warm kiss on my lips;
What sweet persuasive art she
brings
AS, nesting to my heart, she clings.
And, softly as linnet sings,
She pleads-and laughs!
I try to frown-a sheer pretense!
/ quote wise saws-a fraud prepense
To keep my lovely captive there!
But frown, doubt, scruple, maxim
fair
When Jennie laughs!
Who could resist that pleading face?
Who daunt that timid, winsome
grace?
Long ere her pretty plea be done,
Long ere my cross-play mood be
gone,
She knows right well her cause is
And so-she laughs!
The gracious charm, the witching
vile,
The subtle power of tear and smile,
The spells that sway the hearts of
men,
All blend their potent magic, when
Her mothers living self AGAIN.
My Jennie laughs!
God bless the child! AS off she goes,
Her gleeful soul in song Outfiows;
The old house-yes, the old world,
too
With light and gladness thrill anew,
And life takes on brighter hue
When Jennie laughs.
