is shown by an old wood cut dating
from the fourteenth century, 1.-The Ro-
nance of Alexander" from which
Strut derived much of his information
of the ancient customs and games of
the olden times.
The old mills stand as they have
stood for countless years, and as other
mills did, now decayed into dust, ages
and ages ago, on a mighty pivot of
wood, called now and called In the
fourteenth century the millpost. The
body of the mill is made of light
matchboards. each overlapping the
other, and the mill is turned on its
pivot to suit the wind by a lever
worked by hand, and often running at

which makes a track all around the

Back to Conqueror's Time.
So far back as the eleventh century,
the century in which William the Nor
man conquered England, there were
windmills in Britain. This is estab-
lished by records about disputed titles
to mills, and in the history of the bat
tie of Lewes, in old Sussex, in the
time OF Henry III, it is shown that
there stood windmill on hill in the
Sussex capital, for on that occasion
it is recorded that the Kings brother,
Richard, Earl of Cornwall took refuge
in windmill with some German mer-
cenaries, and defended himself there
against Simon de Montford, who on
that occasion beat Henry III.
Before the windmill was invented
the duty of grinding the corn was de-
volved upon the women of a house

memorial times, not only in the east,
where it still holds, but in early Brit.

Fearful Joy to Children.


When high. steady wind was blow
ing the rush of the great arms, the
rattle of the louvres. the creaking of
the great pin that held on the sails,
the roar and crush and shake of the
millstones inside, were exciting to the
ears even of grown-ups and a source
of fearful joy to all children.
There were awful tales of bad boys
and girls-they called them bad,
though they were but mischieyous-
who tried to touch the sails as they
swept by on their downward track,
and were whirled aloft by them; while
to climb the ladder stairs and peep
into the fiour-whitened mill itself was
more than the hardest boy dare do, so
sacred did the millers, at all times
sulky fellows and not at all of the type
of the miller of Dee, deem their tenn
pie of Ceres.
There are still fine old-fashioned
windmills in Holland, and, of course,
they survive in Spain, where the an
tique is ever in safe keeping. In each
country, while there is a family re-
semblance. the features" of these
sentinels on the hilltops differ as
greatly as they do in human family.
In England there are three well-rec-
ognized types of windmill: in Holland
there is one, and every windmill in
Spain is a brother and offspring of the
same brain.

Will FINISH HIS
CATTLE ON HIS FARM ]

Hon. J. A. Fields Has New System
on Cattle Raising In North Dakota.
Fargo Forum: Hon. j. "A. Fields OF
Bismarck has been In the city day
or two and was warmly greeted by his
many old time friends. Mr.. Fields is
greatly interested in the cattle bust
ness. Twenty-eight years ago he took
up his claim In Burleigh county and
has remained on the slope ever since.
His neighbors have come and gone
but he remained at his post and has
been a gamer.
Mr.. Fields is great admirer of
Black Welsh cattle and has the only
herd in this part of the northwest.
He has raised them for years and
believes he has the breed best adapted
to this country. Aside from their
beauty he finds they grow larger and
mature earlier than many of the other
favorite breeds.
Mr.. Fields is close student of the
cattle business and believes the time
has arrived when the North Dakota
stock grower should Finish" his own
cattle instead of turning them over to
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois feeders
for that purpose. He thinks North
Dakota should make that profit.
Another point made by Mr.. Fields
is that North Dakota stockmen are
foolish in paying freight on long hauls
to eastern markets on both their stock
and grain. He believes that the grain
should be fed to the stock and allow
one shipment to do for both.
This fall he has saved out some fine
steers that he will feed this winter
and sell in the early summer. On his
ranch near Bismarck he has fine pas
ture in the creek and river bottoms
with plenty of good hay. He raises
large quantities Of corn, oats, barley
and speltz and on this he intends to
feed the cattle. In the first part Of
the winter he will feed the hay, with
the smaller grains later on and still
later will finish of the cattle on corn
by exercising care in the shipments
of the cattle to the markets he feels
he will be able to land them in Chicago
with little shrinkage.
His tests will be watched with a
great deal of interest by other cattle
men. Aside from sheep little effort
has been made at finishing cattle in
this state. - .s..
Col. J. B. Power has made notable
success Of the plan with his Shorthorn
stock on the Helendale farm.

CUTS FAST TRAIN RECORD.
The Pennsylvania Line Runs One 46s
Miles In 456 Minutes.

The Pennsylvania Line Runs One 46s
Miles In 456 Minutes.
Records for fast time were shattered
by a Pennsylvania special train that
arrived in the union passenger station
at 1909 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The train was made up Of four coaches
and carried several officials OF the
line on the flying run from Pittsburg,
from which point 1t started at 1888 a.
m. Although officials who made the
trip disclaimedJ any effort to make
record time. 1t is understood the speed
test was to determine the possibilities
of an even faster schedule for the
eighteen hour New York Chicago flyer.
From Pittsburg to Fort Wayne the
distance Of 1921 miles was covered In
five hours and sixteen minutes (316
minutes). In that section between
Crestline and Lima the seventy-two
miles was made in fifty-six minutes;
from Lima to Fort Wayne the fifty
nine miles was covered in forty.four
minutes, and the 131 miles between
Crestline and Fort Wayne the fastest
division time was made, the 100 min:
utes consumed clipping thirteen min
utes from all previous records. n Fl
+ The train left Fort Wayne at 12:49
p. m, the 148 miles between that city.
and Chicago consuming but 140 min
utes.
The speed OF the train is shown BY
contrast between its record and that
of the eighteen hour train Of the line,
which makes the distance in 1862 min
utes. The time of the regular was
beaten at every point and the shorten
ing of the schedule was shown to be-
feasible, as several stops, due to vari-
GUS causes, were made. At Nevada
track repairers caused the loss Of two
minutes and other delays caused loss
of time which would not occur on q
regular schedule. Despite this the 46S
miles between Pittsburgh and Chicago
were covered in 456 minutes and the
321 miles from Pittsburg to Fort
Wayne in BIG minutes. Chicago Tri-

MUST PAY THE JUSTICE.

Judge Pollock Holds That Fees Must
Be Paid Justices Before transcripts
Are Transmitted.
Fargo Forum: Has Justice OF the
peace a right to demand his fees for
making up and transmitting the tran
script on appeal before he sends up to
the district court the record in a
case?
This was the question which Judge
Pollock was called upon to decide in
an order to show why Justice Of Peace
Charles q. Showers should not be di-
rected to make up and forward the
record in the case Of Malcolm Mclean
VS.. the Great Northern Railway Co,
and further why the Justice should not
be fined for his neglect In not forward
Ing the papers in the case before.
The matter was submitted to the
court in writing Oct. 16 and this morn
ing Judge Pollock rendered decision
in effect answering the question in the
affirmative. q s-
The afidavits showed that no fee
was paid to the Justice Of peace al
though 1t had been demanded. The
contention that bond had been given
was held by the court not to be sum
cient for the reason that 1t was the
usual appeal bond guaranteeing that
the appellant would pay the amount Of
the Judgment appealed and all costs
on the appeal II the appeal be with.
drawn or dismissed, etc. Under this
bond. II the appellant should succeed,
then he would not be compelled to pay
any costs and the costs Of the appeal
would not be covered by the bond.
