Dakota Division Chairman Returns
to Work.


Forum 10th: In spite of his recent
published statement to the effect that
he would stay by the strikers to the
end, S. G. Ogelsby, Dakota division
chairman of the o. R. T., has gone
back to work. The information to
that effect was received here from
Grand Forks this afternoon.
1t appears that Ogelsby made appli-
cation for his former position yester-
day, and this morning it was an
nounced that he would resume charge
of the station at Wales.
1t is reported in Grand Forks today
that the strikers are having internal
trouble, and that it was on that &C.
count that Ogelsby was induced to
desert the ranks of the strikers, who
are highly indignant at his action.
The railway officials are greatly
pleased at the action of Ogelsby, and
say that it means the breaking up of
the strike.

Took II Seriously.

The late Professor iiinsdale was sin.
gularly devoid Of ali sense of humor,
and as for slang-well, he knew far
more about the dcadest of dead Ian
guages than he did concerning these
saucy innovations on his native tongue.
There was certain piece Of legisla-
tion which was of considerable inter.
est to the local school officials. 1t had
been introduced into the legislature
and was there hanging fire.
One day Professor Hinsdale, then
school superintendent, said to Mr.. Tom
Whitehead, secretary of the board of
education: "Mr. Secretary, what is the
outlook for that special school bill now
in the hands Of the state legislators?
Do you believe 1t will be adopted
soon!'
The secretary shook his head in q
manner that was meant to be thorough
ly discouraging and said, with strong
emphasis:
ut will be cold day when that bill
Is passed"
The superintendent nodded and pass
ed on.
A day or two later somebody came
into his office and asked him about the
prospects Of the same bill.
WELL" he replied in his heavy way,
Il have no personal means of knowing
the status of til leasure, but have
been assured emphatically by Secreta-
ry Whitehead, who may be considered
an expert In securing knowledge of this
character, that the bill will not pass
until next winter" - Cleveland Plain

SnuE Spooun.

All the world is familiar with snuff
boxes. but SNUFF spoons are pretty little
refinements of which this generation
has hardly heard. Very probably they
came into use about two years after
Sir George Rockies expedition to Vigo
bay In 1902, when he captured half a
ton of tobacco and snuff from the
Spanish gaileons, and snuff thus be-
came a common article in England
One Of the characters In a comedy
published at Oxford in 1904, entitled
"An Act at Oxford" by Thomas Baker
says, "But l carry sweet snuff for the
ladies'" to which Arabella replies: "a
spoon too. That's very gallant, for to
see some people run their fat fingers
into box Is as nauseous as eating
without a fork"
In the forties and fifties snuff spoons
were still In use on the Scottish border.
They were of bone and Of size to go
into the snuffbox. People fed their
noses, 1t was said, as naturally as they
carried soup to their mouths. AS late
as 1877 farmer at Norham- on Tweed
was seen using one.-Gentleman's Mag

courts order will also hasten the
time when this once powerful and
wealthy people will be no more.
Ten years ago the Sissetons had
ne ,rly $2,000,000 on deposit with
the government, in addition to their
farms, cattle, stock, implements, etc.
Every Indian, buck, sonaw and pap
poose bad about $1,000 in cash, be-
sides land and other property. To-
day, this tribe is sunk i'm the mire.
The men are drunkards and gam
blers, worthless and lazy; the wo-
men are no better. Their money is
almost gone and from thrifty, en-.
ergetic people they have drifted
back to responsibility and almost
ssvagery. And all because of their
taste for whiskey and the shoot
logger"
The best and most intelligent
among the Indians see what the
effect of the Federal Courts decis-
ion will be and they will probably
appeal to the President to do some-
thing to prevent the utter extermi-
nation of the Winnebagoes. Unless
something of this kind is done, it is
only a question of few years until
the tribe will be extinct.-Brooklyp

Hi. Goal the Letter "v.,

When the late Horace Maynard, LIZ
D., entered Amherst college, he expos
ed himself to ridicule and jibing ques-
tions Of his fellow students by placing
over the door of his room large
square Of white cardboard on which
was inscribed in bold outlines the sim
gle letter v. Disregarding comment
and question, the young man applied
himself to his work, ever keeping in
mind the height to which he wished to
climb, the first step toward which was
signified by the mysterious v.
-Four years later, after receiving the
compliments of professors and stu
dents on the way he had acquitted
himself as valedictorian Of his class.
young Maynard called the attention of
his fellow graduates to the letter over
his door. Then light broke in upon
them, and they cried out:
"Is 1t possible that you had the vale
dictory in mind when you put that "
over your door?"
"Assuredly I had" was the emphatic
reply.
On he climbed. from height to height,
becoming successively professor OF
mathematics In the University of Ten
nessee. lawyer, member Of congress,
attorney general Of Tennessee. United
States minister to Constantinople and
finally postmaster general.-Success.

Some Divorce Figures.
[Greenville News. ]

The United States leads all other
countries in agreat many things, and
it is likewise true that it is the ban
ner divorce nation. Figures COM
piled by the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal show to every 10000 marriages
in this country there are 6l2 divorces.
Switzerland comes next with 432. In
France there are $50 and Germany
1866. The English people occupy
the opposite of the column to us,
there being but eleven divorces in
10000 marriages, while Canada
shows but fou.. The large proper
tion in the United States over other
countries, as the Courier. Journal
says, is in great measure, due to the
numerous statutory causes which le-
galize the annulment of marriage,
and the readiness with which DEGREES
are obtainable. There was a time
when South Dakota took front rank
in the free-and-easy style of break.
ing the matrimonial VOWS, although
other States have joined the happy,
or the unhappy procession, as the
case might be, and no particular
State is establishing new high
records. All of them are advancing
with the exception of South Caro-
lima, which occupies unique posi-
tion in this respect. And there is
little hope of any change in this
State. We ought to be proud of
our record, and we ought to make it
80 that a new breed of legislators
will not undertake to repeal our
honorable law.
In this connection it might not be
bad plan to adopt the suggestion
made elsewhere that Congress enact
national divorce law, clean and
clear cut in its provisio ns, which
would eliminate certain statutory
causes and make it more difficult to
obtain DEGREES. AS it stands now,
one State has it's grounds, while
other States have different set, all
tending to degrade marriage, robbing
it of it's holiness and sanctity.
Sweeping changes at any rate would
have moral and elevating effect,
because the conditions of the present
day are not calculated to lift us in
the estimation of Christian people.

new England Youngsters.

One Of Detroit's lawyers, who has
had such professional success as en-.
ables him to spend portion OF each
summer in a quaint New England Sec
ton, brings back some very interesting
facts.
81 take my outing in one of those
parts" he says, where the farms are
30 run down that you can't hope for a
good crop of anything unless it be
beans or goats. One of the conse-
quences is that the young men have to
find some other part of the country in
which to make living, and I'll wager
that there y not another community In
the Union where the average age Ia
higher.
Knowing me to be lawyer, some
of the residents called me into a con.
ference about the township treasurer
who had been guilty of advancing a
teacher 81 on her salary without the
consent Of the trustees. There was not
a man there except myself who was
not past 50, and two were over 80.
while l was making talk in favor
Of the treasurer and trying to minimize
his transgressions without offending
the seleutmen, as they called them, a
man Of at least 65 sloucbed through the
door and took seat.
"'Just a minute said one Of the old
est veterans as he interrupted and
glowered at the intruder. How often
have quoted that there quotation to

young men for war? This is council
Now you Just run out till we get
through, Willie. II there's any Arrest
to be made, we'll call on you And
Willie went without turning a word"

Marvellous Chicken Legs.

The mechanism Of the leg and foot of
chicken or other bird that roosts on
limb is marvel Of design. 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg Of bird
that roosts Is so arranged that when
the leg is bent at the knee the claws
are bound to contract and thus hold
with sort of death grip the limb
around which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down. and you will
have practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. BY this singular arrangement,
seen only In such birds as roost, they
will rest comfortably and never think
of holding on, for 1t Is impossible for
them to let go till they stand up.-Pres-
byterian.
