Throws the Shell Overheard.

He then did what never seemed to come
into the minds of any in the group of Off
GERS: he seized the shell out of the hands Of
the colonel and threw it into the sea. For
this service he was made a sergeant, and
on coming home he had the honor of receiv
ing a small present from the hands Of the
queen, to whom he was presented The SOL
der who had been told to bring an empty
shell had gone into the wrong magazine. l
many times talked over this incident with
the sergeant. and he repudated any idea
that he had done a brave action. Il don't
know" he said, what made me seize the
shell out of the colonies hands but ii came
suddenly into my mind, and / did it 1t
Is this coming suddenly into the mind this
wave of unconscious thought. which consti-
tuted true presence of mind. This will come
to people of nervous and even cowardly ma
lures.
l remember an INSTANCE when man
whom I knew to be utterly deficient In cour-
age save himself from an awkward situa-
ton. He lived IN Il town In the Midlands,
where he was an organist. Late one even
ing he was returning home through some
Of the back streets, which at that hour
were more or less empty Of people. As he
went along, however. he noticed. some dis
lance ahead OF him. a man and woman
walking side by side. the mans arm being
round the womans neck. Just under a gas
lamp the couple stopped for a moment,
when he heard a piercing scream and saw
the woman slowly falling from the mans

Woman Helps the Surgeon.

In one carriage a friend of mine a medI-
cal man was travelling. and the shock of the
collision threw him Violently from his seat,
but he escaped further injury. Thankful
for this, he at once proceeded TO the help
of others. and he found an awful state OF
things in the front part OF the train. He
was the only doctor present to aid the
crushed and wounded victims who were be-
ing eXtricated from the telescoped car
riages. He began binding up the fractured
limbs as best he could, but he had no
proper appliances, when an old country
woman approached him and without saying
O word she empied the contents OF her
apron beside him, consisting OF neat rolls
of torn window blinds, for bandages
At such a moment nothing could be more
useful and opportune. But IL was a re-
markable instance of presence of mind on
her part and very different from the con-
duct of one who went rushing about this
scene of carnage calling for the guard to
find her parasol which she had lost. Peo-
| PIE. however, are not always responsible

Noblest Kind of Courage.

This IS more than presence Of mind; 1t is
bravery of the noblest and best kind. 1t
was no sudden thought or inspiration which
came into the poliCemans mind. Long be
fore the horse reached him he saw 1t COM
ing, and he knew he ran a risk of his life
when he rushed to the rescue.
1t is the absence of fear which prompts
the soldier. under a heavy fire from the
enemy's guns, 20 go to the assistance of
wounded comrade and bring him to place
of safety, and nothing in human nature can
compare with such self-saCriiCe. But In
times of sudden emergency il is not always
the bravest who act with promptitude, and
the following story is an instance of this:
Toward the close of the Crimean war a
troopship was returning to England with
invalided men, and one morning at sea
group of officers on the deck discussed the
subject of firing shells. A soldier was told
by Col. b. to bring empty shell with
fuse. The colonel took the shell in his
hands and striking a match, lighted the
fuse AS this slowly burned and the colonel
proceeded with his address to the other
officers another soldier passed the group,
and the moment ne caught sight of the
shell he rushed forward. exclaiming: Take
>care. sir; the shell is a live one!'

Finds Her Throat Cut.

Almost before she had reached the ground
the man darted away down side street and
disappeared. When the organist came up
TO the woman he found to his horror that
she was lying in a pool of blood. His first
impulse was to run away, but his better
feelings prevailed and he knelt down beside
the poor woman to see II he could do any
thing for her. When he raised her head he
found she was quite dead, with her throat
cut from ear 10 ear. Beside her on the
pavement lay a blood-stained razor.
The organist was overwhelmed with the
horror Of the scene, Before he could col
lect himself a group OF people had gathered,
as they invariably do when anything hap
pens in the street. and presently he heard
the expression. He did it, Il tell you 1
saw him" why. here is the razor he cut
her throat with" ION. the cruel brute"
Seize him" etc
1t was certainly an awkward position. as
the rough character OF the people might
tempt them 10 take the law in their own
hands and use him badly. The arrival of
policeman seemed to steady his nerves for
moment, then came a wave of inspiration
which may almost be termed presence OF
mind. He seized the womans wrist and
pulling out his watch he pretended to go
through the form of feeling her pulse.

Pronounces the Case Fatal.


Then he put his hand over her heart and
turning to the policeman he said calmly
as he could: IL am sorry to say that l can
be of no further service here. The poor
thing is quite dead; there is no action of
the heart or pulse" In an instant the muir
murs OF the crowd changed and he heard
Hes the doctor on all sides. This was
his opportunity, and slowly rising and af
fecting 10 be In no hurry, he passed through
the crowd, who made way for him and Of
fered no obstruction.
But he told me that when he got clear of
the street and came to the first turning he
took to his heels and ran for all he was
worth. The cowardly spirit got the better
OF him in the end He heard next day that
the murderer had gone straight 10 the po-
lice station and given himself up.
II is certainly the case that men have no
monopoly as regards presence of mind. In
fact, / think on the whole the mind of a
woman acts quicker at time of emer-
gency, though she Is, perhaps, more liable
to panic.
The railway accident at HcXthorpe near
Doncaster was a terrible disaster. There
was a mistake over the signals and one
train ran into another which was standing
while tickets We're being examined. Don
caster races were going on and both trains
were packed with passengers.

TIMES RARE PRESENCE OF MIND.
Men of Courage Need No Sudden I'M
pulse to Do and to Dare =
Stopping a Runaway.



There is a distinction to be drawn between
presence of mind and courage. People who
are naturally timd and nervous will under
circumstances of great danger and excite
ment perform acts of heroism which would
be beyond their powers on ordinary occa-
sions. We speak of these as instances of
persons showing presence of mind, but If
you asked them they would tell you thai
an involuntary impulse. rather than any
premeditated course of action, guided their
Will on the occasion. Had they had time
for reflection, when all the threatening
danger to themselves had become clear to
their minds, their natural timidity of caar
acter would have asserted itself and de-
prived them of action.
On the other hand, courage may be de-
scribed the absence of fear and all
thought for preservation, and its pos
SCISSOR Is not dependent upon any momen-
tary impulse to call il into being. His mind
is disciplined and under control, and he Is
unmoved before the peril which confronts
him. There Is no Drawer body of men than
the London police, and any one who has
Witnessed one of the guardians of the street
traffic step forward and seize runaway
horse in a crowded thoroughfare cannot
have failed to admire his courageous act

Christian s. Aalund vino made
final proof on his claim, the sw
quarter of Section ), 1916, in
the vicinity Of Mohall, Jan. II,
1905, was surprised to learn that
the proof had been rejected by
the land office. Through his at
torney. John I'll. Lewis, Mr..
Aalund has taken the matter up
with the general land office.
The only point raised by the
land Office in the proof was on
account of Aalund taking his
meals with his brother who lived
across the road.
Aalund dug the stone from his
claim, broke the land, owned
horses and machinery and farmed
the land. He slept on the claim.
dug q well and made d general
good residence. But it was hard
for him to do his own cooking.

His brothers house was only
ten rods from his own and he
thought it would not hurt his
chances of proving up if he paid
his brother something for his
meals. 1t was lonesome to eat
in the shack and Aalund's life on
the prairie was not spent in u
bed Of roses.
The point raised by the land
office will prove OF a good deal of
interest to those who have not
yet proved up on their claims.
The government recently sent
Instructions to the land office to
reject all proofs where there was
a question of q doubt as to the
good faith of the homasteader.
Mr.. Lewis believes that Aalund
is entitled to his claim and hopes
for a favorable decision from the
general land Office.

BOY KILLED HIS BROTHER
Spencer Witham Picks up Iron Rod and

Morton--Boys had Been Playing.

| Younger son to the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Shay. She sent
TO Minot for Il 6octor and S. X.
Witham IL brother OF the dead
boy who works at the Scandina-
Wan hotel, went at once to the
home with Dir. Newlove. When
they arrived life had passed from
the body.
The doctor made an examina-
ton OF the wound and found that
the wire ha.t penetrated thes skull
at Il very tender place, where the
"paper skull" is located. A blood
vessel had been ruptured causing
hemorrhage OF the brain. The
boy had died about 5 O'Clock
without regainins consciousness.
The motheris nearly distracted
with grief. The young brother
who caused the death Of Morton
is also nearly wild with the thot
that he had lnnocently >aused
the death OF his brother.
The dead boy was a manly
fellow, the pride OF his mother
and also a great source OF COM
fort to her in her declining days.
The mother resided with her two
sons on the farm.
The deceased leaves four broth
ers and two sisters who Are:

The Game is to Divide Ward.

Representative Lyons will in,
troduce a bill in a day or two
providing for the people OF Ward
county to vote on the division OF
| Ward county into five counties,
at the next general election. As
the proposed bill now stands,
Stanley. Bowbells, Kenmare, Mo
hall and Alinot are to be the
county seats. The county for
which Stanley will be the county
seat will be named Black and will
contain 32 townships. Ward
county will be left ~ townships
AMI the other counties will con-
tain less than 30 townships.
Ii the bill is passed, the county
division will be bitterly fought.
There are some who will be bene-
fitted by the division of the
county, especially those who are
in remote parts OF the county.
Taxes will be high, however, for
new buildings will have to be
erected and more officers paid
their salaries. More papers will
have to be made official, more
stationery printed, etc. etc.
Many believe that the division
OF the county will hurt Minot.
Others believe that with the de-
velopment OF the other cities in
the county, Minot as a CONNER
cial center, will be rather helped.
Representative johnson we un-
derstand is against county di-
vision. Representative Lyons
won a point by having the bill
referred to the election privilege
committee of which he is a men,
Der. Mr.. johnson made an effort
to have the bill referred to the
county boundry committee OF
which he is chairman.

The county commissioners will

Contractor Lord declares that
he will have the new court house
completed by Feb. Is, when the
district court will convene.
Three new school districts have
been organized south OF Minou,
and new buildings will be erected
in the spring. They are No. no,
Ill and 102.
Monday and Tuesday hundreds
Of people from all parts OF the
county crowded the treasurer's
office. They wished to pay their
taxes before February 1, and
thus save the additional expense
OF five per cent.
The county superintendent in
forms the Independent that the
law does not allow nearly enough
extra clerk hire for the amount
Of work there is to be done. The
superintendent is given no more
help than was the superintendent
Of the county some years back,
although the work is ten times
greater. Talcott at Bismarck
has introduced a bill providing
for Il superintendent deputy
and assistant, and the payment
OF $40 per month for all teachers
WHO hold second grade certifca-
les. As it is now, many get but
$50 per month. The bill amends
seven sections of the school law.
and will probably be passed.
The county superintendent is
sending out letters to the school
teachers urging them to secure Il
course OF study which the de-
partment OF ublic Instruction
is publishing, and following it as
closely as possible. Teachers will
be expected to hold monthly ex-
aminations and report the same
each month. A warning is sent
not to contract with teachers uu-
less the teacher has a valid cer-
tificate. The superintendent
should be notified within d week
from the time schoolcommences.
The superintendent also sent u
letter to each school clerk with a
special instructions Mr.. Warren
is going at his work with 8 vim
and viii make a good officer we
believe.
