The matter has been fn- vestigated and the statement is made that no matter who is appointed chan ceilor to succeed Colonel Altman, !. w. Altman cannot be disturbed in his posi- ton as register.
 MT. Richard Fries, a we'll known at- torney, was among those who investi- gated the situation and he says that there are no doubts but that Mir. Att man win hold the office through the term for which he was appointed, or through the term for which the chan cellor making the appointment would have served.
 Section 163 of the new constitution. bearing on the subject of registers in chancery, says: Registers in chan cery shall be appointed by the chancel- lors of the respective divisions! They shall have been at least twelve months before their appointment and shall at the time of their appointment, and dur ing their continuance in office, be resi- dent citizens of the district for which they are appointed. They shall hold office for the term for which the chan cellor making such appointment was elected or appointed"
 This appears to be definite enough, says MT. Fries. and means that the reg ister shall serve for the six years for which he was appointed by the chan cellor few weeks since.

About Connecticut Tobacco.

The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco
as grown under cheesecloth in Con-
necticut is one of the romantic epis-
odes of agriculture, says writer in
Country Life in America. Florida
fruit grower had got some tobacco
plants that got into his pineapple seed
by accident and he noticed that they
were taller and of finer texture under
the lath shade. The bureau of soils,
While surveying the Connecticut val
ley, found a soil that was practically
the same as that of Sumatra, on which
the famous tobacco is grown. (The
bureau has samples of soil from al
most every important agricultural re-
gion OF the worldly The government
got an expert to start an industry and
the next two years some of the grow
ers made over 100 per cent profit.
The industry as whole is success
fni. A large company with plenty of
capital is necessary, for it costs $3.50
to cover and grow an acre of this to-
bacco. The growers receive from
$1.20 to $3.50 pound for the product.
The imported article brings $3.50 to
$500 and we have been importing
about $6,000,000 worth a year.

T. D. Shea, an attorney of Nanti-

curious suit against the Susquehan-
ma Coal company. He sued for So 900
for legal services during tie great
coal strike of two years ago. The
company, part of the Pennsylvania
railroad system, was unwilling to pay
more than $500, claiming that was
ample payment for the service rend-
cred. Mr.. Shea is over six feet tall
and built proportionately. 1t was
held by the counsel that his presence
alone among the strikers kept them
from harming the companys proper
ty. The jury took the same view and
awarded him $4,000.

Words of Love.

Do you know heart that hungers
For a word of love and cheer?
There are many such about us;
1t may be that one is near.
Look around you. If you find it,
Speak the word that's needed so,
And your own heart may be strengthened
By the help that you bestow.
1t may be that some one falters
On the brink of sin and wrong,
And word from you might save him
Help to make the tempted strong
Look about you o my sister,
What a sin is yours and mine.
If we see thar help is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted.
Bread on waters cast are they
And 1t may be we shall find them
Coming back to us some day.
Coming back when sadly needed,
In a time of sore distress;
So. my friend. let's give them freely:
Gift and giver God will bless.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in N-pound pack
ages. and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all injurious chem
lcals. If your grocer tries to sell you
= 12-oz. package 1t is because he has
. stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let

eEeeAR HAD MADE MONEY.
Scotchman's Odd Will Showed He
Found CalIinq Profitable.

Found Calling Profitable.
The Scotch papers of the year 1917
reported at length the life and death
OF notable beggar, William Steven
son. About the year 1887 Stevenson
and his wife separated upon the
strange terms that the first of the
two to propose reunion was to pay
the other $500 forfeit. The forfeit
apparently was never incurred, as
neither Of them, as far as could be
ascertained, ever saw the other again.
Then Stevenson took to the road as
beggar. and lived for thirty years a
free and jolly life; but at last, in his
S5th year, he was struck down with
an incprable disease. When he came
within sight of death he sent for a
baker and ordered twelve dozen burial
cakes, large quantity of sugared bis
cult, and an ample supply of wines
and spirits. He next sent for joiner
and instructed him to make "a good,
sound, dry, roomy, comfortable coffin"
laying the stress upon It's comfortable
ness. Then he summoned a gravedig-
ger and instructed him to dig "a com
Portable grave" in specia. spot in
Riccarton churchyard. The old wom-
an who attended him was instructed
to find in certain rag hidden in a
certain hole the money to defray all
these expenses. Having thus relieved
his mind of all anxiety as to his post
humous comfort, Stevenson died in
peace. After his death were found in
his garret two bags-one full of silver
and the other of gold pieces-and a
box containing bonds for various
amounts, including one for $1,500-
close upon $4,000 in all. This was be-
queathed to distant relatives, with the
exception of $100 to the old woman
who had attended him, and large
sum to provide feast for all the beg
gars of Scotland who cared to come
to see his body lie in state"

C.. G.. Anderson has been down

of his children are also sick.
w. p. Bryant made this Office a
business call while in town from

Tuesday.
A big fire in Omaha early Sun
day morning, starting Saturday
night, destroyed the Mercer, the
DR.. Clifford and the Willard build
ings, together with stocks of the
kirkendall Shoe Co., NJ. Z. Smith
& Co., dry goods; Nogele & Din
ming, confectionery; Porter Ryer-
son Hoobler Co.; Martin-Cott Hat
Co., and several commission firms
amounting to about onehalf mil
lion dollars.
There was a blaze in the north
part of town last Friday afternoon
that caused people to rush that
way for awhile. A boy staying
with Joe Marshal in Judge Zarr's
house went out to the stable with
some matches and soon succeeded
in getting the hay on fire. A team
and COW narrowly escaped being
burned up. They were gotten out
after the fire had good start by
breaking the door in and it was
with difficulty that they were res
cued from the flames that were
sweeping about them. The hose
cart was attached to Mack Cram
er's delivery wagon and Mack
drove in the run, reaching the fire
in time to get the water turned on
before the building was DESTROYED
and when the fire was put out a
battered, scarred,s half burned
building stood in evidence of the
the efficiency of our water system
when it is possible to reach fire
soon after it has started.
