Recently, a man, while shaw
ing himself, sliced off the end of
his nose, and very naturally he
dropped the razor, which in fall
ing cut off one of his big toes.
A local surgeon bandaged him up
but in the excitement of the
moment bound the end of the toe
to the nose wound, and put the
nose where the toe ought to be.
The mistake was not discovered
for three days, when the band
ages were removed, and by that
time, thanks to the wonderful
curative power of the recently
discovered radium water, per,
feet union had taken place and
both wounds were found to be
completely healed. The only in.
convenience the patient now ex.
periences is trimming his toe
nail on the end of his nose anc
taking off his shoe when he wants
to sneeze.-Ex.

THE 1905 SESSION LAWS

The present session Of the leg
%islature promises to make a lot
of trouble for the 1899 code and
subsequent session laws. Up to
date more bills have been intro
duced than any session of the
past. If you do not get a copy
of the new measure, you will not
know what is the law, and you
know that ignorance of the law
does not excuse any person. The
quickest, cheapest and the best
way to know the law is to buy a
copy Of the Pocket Edition" of
the laws. This will be printed
within a few hours after the gov
ernor has disposed of the last
measure before him. It will, in
addition to the laws, contain 80
pages Of North Dakota statistical
matter, which will be Of interest,
we think. The Pocket Edition
will cost but a dollar, and its
possession may save you much
more than this. Send this sum
and your address and the Pho
neer will have a copy delivered tc
you as soon as printed.

GLAD HE HAD 10 POWER.
One Case Where Lack of Jurisdiction

Mr.. John G. Carlisle tells of the case
of a young man in Kentucky taken be-
fore q country magistrate on the
charge of disturbing a religious meet
Ing. The magistrate in question was
a kindly old gentleman, but ignorant of
many Of the nicer points of law.
It appears that when the evidence
was all in the defendant was question
ed by the magistrate whether he (the
accused) had "any reason to give why
Judgment should not be pronounced"
against him. The culprit had little to
say beyond expressing bis %penitence
and adding that he wc11id never repeat
the offense. The magistrate :owever,
was firm, and proceeded to the task Of
imposing sentence. Before doing so
he 1nludged in a long and moving ad.
dress. Among other things he said:
young man, l knew your parents
well. They were my personal friends:
but, sir" and tears came into the eyes
of the old judge, Justice is blind, and
l must therefore sentence you to two
years imprisonment"
At this counsel for the deser.se arose
and explained to the magistrate that,
while not presumiog 10 point out to his
Honor his duty in the premises, yet it
seemed essential to tell the Judge, in
accordance With well established legal
customs, that sentence could not in the
present case be rendered, the Court
having no jurisdiction.
"No jurisdiction!" echoed the Judge
in astonished tones.
mo, sir" reiterated the counsel, mo
jurisdictions" And he 1earnedly ex-
planned the meaning Of the term.
When he had concluded the magistrate
wiped a fugitive tear from his cheek
and replied:
well, I'm glad that I haven't. I
right willingly discharge the defend.

"This is the only case" adds Mr..
Carlisle, with which I aGa familiar in

to the Supreme Court Of the United

that be had no Jurisdiction"

NOSE WITH CIGAR.
New York Man Holds Fire End Close
to Face and Then Takes
Snuff

Many and varied are the ways and
means adopted by people these days
as a protection from the cold, but one
Of the oldest schemes is that Of q man
who uses his cigar to warm his nose.
While on the street he invariably
smokes a cigar. and at frequent in
terVals he removes it from his month
and holds the lighted end close to his
nose. which happens to be an organ
Of uncommon size. says the New York
Times. Some years ago this gentle
man froze his nose. and ever since It
has been extremely susceptible to cold.
Moreover" explained the man. there
is a considerable amount Of heat ra-
dated from the fire end Of a cigar,
much more than you would naturally
suppose; yet l admit in extreme cold
weather II is not sufficient to keep
my nose comfortable. and at such
times I have snuii. The resultant
sneezing amply serves the purpose. ="

England and the United States Are

According to an article in the Ger

for shipbuilding are bought in Eng
land. Even big ships built for Japan
in Germany years ago were ordered
to Armstrong; in England for their
armament Recently Rrupp and the
French firm Of Schneider are preferred.
The fact that England and the United
States are favored is shown by the
purchase Of material for the Yokohama
Waterworks. In calling for bids It was
provided that the cocks come from
