If she defends herself she may send
her husband to the gallows.

he would kill Wright. On July 10
Sanford ambushed Wright. killing
him by firing two loads of buckshot

arrested him Sanford, who was per-
fectly cool, said: He has ruined my

5. Trouser. a Passing Fashion.

It may not be known that the ia
miliar soutane or cassock Of a Catholic
priest was the garment habitually
worn by all gentlemen up to compare
lively recent times, though it was not
always necessarily black. There is a
portrait Of Dante wearing one of in
step length, made on an unmistakable
"sun ray" pattern. And long gowns
were not confined to gentlemen. The
habit Of a Franciscan friar was the
garment worn by the shepherds Of
Umbria in St. Francis time and prob
ably for centuries before and after it.
There is evidence enough Of this in
our own times, if one travels outside
the narrow limits Of western civiliza-
ton. The man or woman who goes
east will see skirted men everywhere
Arabs, Cashmeries, Punjabies, Bur
mans, Chinese, Japanese, Malays, to
mention only a few. The present bifur-
cate system Of western Europe, though
it seems to the untraveled eye as fixed
and unalterable as the pyramids, is but
a passing fashion in the history of
male attire.-Grand Magazine.

that his company had donated

holders money toward political

company in the class with the

of what Thomas Lawson said a

four companies were in a mutual
combine to rob the people and to
a great extent to control the
finances of the country. Now if
there are any other life insurance

The hysterical element Of the
country can catch up with itself
now that the execution of Mrs.
Rogers has occurred. Thousands
of names we're signed to petitions,
countless kilograms sent and
letters written in an unsuccessful
effort to have Governor Bell of
Vermont pardon a woman whose
guilt was admitted. She muir
dered her husband to have more
freedom with her paramount. The
crime was cold blooded, and as
long as capital punishment is the
penalty provided for such crimes
in Vermont, there is no more rea-
son why clemency should have
been exercised in her case than in
that of a man.-Forum.

fettinger County May Have 9 Legal Elec
ton in the Spring.

The statements IF the Mandan
Pioneer last week regarding matters in
He,tinger county were very much at
variance. In n place the paper
published the Richardton-Mandan let
ter which was SEM broadcast over the
land to the effect that an election had
beer held at Mott and that Hettinger
was organized under very suspicious
circumstance, Mott having been unani-
mously chosen as the county seat, the
inspector to issue certificates OF cleo
ton at once, ETC., etc. In another place,
however, the Pioneer speaks Of the in
junction restraining the election and
appears to take a very sensible view of
the matter. The article is concluded
as follows:
"Thosc interested will at once take
steps to comply with the necessary
legal requirements to secure another
call by the governor, for an election, as
it is claimed that the bona fde residents
of that county are greatly in the ma
jority for organization and that the OPP
position comes from non residents who
are opposed to the Establishment Of a
county because of the increase of taxes.
However, as this may be, one thing is
certain, that there is likely to be con-
siderable litigation over this subject.
Under the present law it is a difficult
matter to organize as is shown in Nc
Kenzie county where, ven after it was
organized, numerous difficulties have
been encountered and the end is not
yet"
