IGNORANCE WAS BLISS.
Paid for Feeling of Security and
Carried His Money After All.

Mark Twain tells story Of a
pilot who, while sleeping, walked
the upper-deck railing of steam
boat, which proves that man ig-
norant of his own danger often
passes thru it unfinchingly. In
"Flush Times in Alabama Mr..
Joseph G. Southern relates an anec-
dote somewhat similar concerning
an adventure of a Mr.. Ripley Of
North Carolina in the early days Of
the south.
Mr.. Ripley was in Alabama in
1886, and found it necessary to re-
turn to North Carolina with about
two thousand dollars which he had
collected. AS the route lay thru
the Creek Indian country, and the
redskins were reported to be war
like, he was afraid Of being robbed
if he carried currency with him. He
went to a banker named Thompson
and asked for bill of exchange
Thompson accommodated him.
He charged S per cent for a sight
draft on a Raleigh banker who, he
said, was his correspondent. Ripley
was much pleased; his anxiety was
dissipated.
AS the men parted Thompson be-
thought him Of a little package he
was sending east. Would Ripley
kindly carry it and see that it was
properly delivered9 It happened to
be going to this same banker. Rip
ley said he certainly would do so,
and sealed envelope was placed in
his hand.
The long journey thru the Creek
nation was made in safety, Mr.. Rip
ley constantly congratulating him
self on the sagacity with which he
had freed his mind from worry.
Arriving at Raleigh, he called at
once upon the banker and presented
the bill of exchange and delivered
the envelope.

contracted by villages and townships.
We are now working under the law OF
1908, by which counties pay for one
half and the smaller subdivisions the
other half Of such expenses.
County and village authorities are
unable to keep track Of these frequent
changes. and in the Elysian case even
the district judge was confused. Half
a dozen similar cases have gone to the
supreme court to be Strengthened out,
at great expense to the municipalities
and to private individuals.
When the revised statutes now be-

chaos reduced for once to order, sue

to make records may think they can

The Penalty Of Confusion.

The thardships worked by loose tin
kering of the laws are illustrated in a
case decided by the supreme court last
Friday. There was an epidemic of
smallpox in the village Of Elysian, LIE
Sueur county, and the village board Of
health engaged the residence of A. e.
Comstock for pesthouse. Mr..
Comstock put in bill for s24s.45, but
the village authorities declared that
the county had to pay it, and the
county commissioners were just as GER
tain that the obligation was on the
village.
Neither would pay, and Mr.. Com
stock sued both. The district court
dismissed the case against the county
and gave judgment against the village.
The village authorities appealed, and
tn supreme court reversed the deci-
sion, holding that the county and not
the village was liable. So the village
escapes, but as the case against the
county has been dismissed, Mr. Com
stock will have to bring another action
and begin all over again, if he wishes
to collect. He has already paid out
more than the amount Of his bill, fol-
attorneys fees and costs.
The record shows that the law Of
1888, the first one passed on the sub.
ject put the charge of contagious dis.
eases on cities and villages. 1T was

DAILY ANIMAL STORY FOR cHILDREN
THE Hio-HoRN.

One day the little Princess, daughter Of
the king Of the forest, fell down, over
come by the heat, in the middle Of the
plain. There wasn't thing in sight to
shade her, and the little girls mother
cried out to all the animals Of the forest
to come and help.
1t happened that nobody was in hearing
except the Rocky Mountain sheep; he
came and stood beside the little girl, but
his body was so warm and his hair was
50 thick that he dared not get too close.
Oh! II you only had long horns, so that
could spread my veil over them and
shade her!" said the little Princess
mother.
So the sheep stood there and wished for
long horns--he wished for them more than
he had ever wished for anything in his
life. And they came; they sprouted right
out of his forehead and branched over
the sleeping girl, SO that her mother
spread the veil upon them and made her
a little shaded tent.
When the child was better and they

The Real Thing.

The difference between real war
service and fake war service is clever
ly illustrated in the Forthcoming Col
her's for this week. On the first page
appears striking reproduction of
Korean war photograph, made for
Golfers by it's own photographer, r.
l.. Dunn, who was the only news pho
tographer to witness the Variag-Ko
rietz affair in Chemulpho harbor, and
whose fine photographs of the event
made a sensation in newspaperdom.
On another page Golfers reproduces
a fake photograph Of the battle Of
Port Arthur which had been offered
for publication by a correspondent in
Paris, and which will doubtless be
photograph. 1t purports to have been
taken at the beginning Of the battle.
Golfers, however, by the use of a
microscope and little common sense,
discovered that it was simply two
photographs cleverly joined together
of the Russian fleet peacefully lying
at anchor. Each battleship appeared
twice in the picture and none was
even cleared for action. Two shots
striking the water had been painted
in on the negative with a brush
''Stock photographs of this kind are
being used in many publications as
authentic war pictures. Golfers,
however, is giving us the real article.
The Dunn picture is reproduced on
the first page Of this issue Of T h e
j urnal, which has the exclusive
rights for Minneapolis to the advance
publication Of Golfers valuable war
service. Mr.. O'Laughlin's very inter
esting account of the reception of the
Chemulpho survivors in Russia is also
| printed to-day.
