THE NEW ESTRAY LAW.

The estray law has been changed in
many particulars and the penalties are
very drastic. All farmers, especially,
should make themselves familiar with
the details. We append a brief state.
ment of sonic of the chief provisions.
Only freeholder can take up estravs
and that in his own county and in the
vicinity of his residence, and not between
Nov. 1st and 31st of March, unless ami.
NAL is trespassing on premises or within
enclosure.
Within ten days notice must be given
in newspaper three weeks. Notice must
give description and brands. Two or
more estrays to be included in the same
advertisement and notices. Also notice
must be filed with county auditor within
ten days. Also notice sent to Commis.
sioner of Agriculture, Bismarck, ten
days by registered mail. Registered re-
ceipt for this copy of notice to be filed
with county anditor.
Persons neglecting to advertise and
send the other notices are guilty of mis-
demeanor and liable for damax es to own
er of estray.
Claimant of estray may go before jus
tice and prove property by oath. Person
taking up estray is then authorized to
deliver estray after payment of costs and
keeping.
If parties cannot agree, each selects an
arbitrator and these third, and their
decision is final.
Person taking up estray notifies the
county commissioners and they appoint
an appraiser.
If value of animals less than s25 then,
If animal has been duly advertised and
notices sent the animal becomes the
property of fthe taker up, after one year.
Ifvalue is more than S25 then year
after adv. is published, the taker up mott
fies justice and the Justice appoints
place and day of sale, and gives three
weeks notice in newspaper and makes
the sale. From the proceeds Of sale all
costs are taken out and balance paid in
to the county treasurer. The owner Of
estray can recover the balance within six
months and after that the money goes to
the school fund.
Fees for justice. advertising and ap-
praisers are paid BY taker up and are a
first lien on animal until owner reimbur.
sss, and must be repaid before animal is
taken away. IS IS, Il.

The postal department has struck
new idea, or rather gone back in
part to an old one. The post Offices now
accept one cent unsealed envelops when
in 1000 lots, without requiring the actual
stamps affixed. Instead the envelopes are
counted and paid for in cash, and in lieu
OF the stamp notice is printed in the
stamp corner that the postage is paid in
cash. This makes great saving of
stamp sticking, partiularly in houses that
send out thousands and thousands of
one cent enveloped circulars, and in
cidentally saves the government the
cost of the stamps as printed. We do
not see auy reason why the same thing
could not be done with large numbers
of two-cent letters in the same way. On
ly perhaps Uncle Sam could not keep
quite do close tab on his p. ms. In
the early days before stamps were in
vented all postage was paid in cash, at
first at the place where received and
later in advance.

to do it in but the carpenter builds FAR
more quickly and better than the un-
trained individual. theoretically any
person has the ability to draw circle
free hand. but only Giotto ever accom-
plished the feat. The training of the
brain means the training cf the muscles
OF the body. The really educated man
is one WHO not only knows how, but can
also do things
There IS a lesson in this for the young.
All over This country are great factories
and industries. In these factories are
employed many young men. But in all
these great branches of industry the en-
ployers are seeking the educated young
men as employees. To- have college
diploma gives its owner not only a bet
ter chance to begin work but also gives
far better opportunity Of promotion. The
employers recognize the fact that such
boys have already t,ken long step in
that discipline of mind and brain that
will make them successful, bright and
easy to learn the new and special duties
OF the business.
A very large majority of the higher Of
ficiaIs of the railroad, shops, factories
and corporations are college graduates
and the proportion is growing greater
annually.
1t is possible to be we'll educated with
out going to college. We have known
some men who because they could not
speak grammatically or because not FAM
iliar with the rules of ordinary polite
inte recourse were said to be uneducated.
but this was not true, because they know
other things better til, most people,
though their ignorance of other matters
was always handicap.
knowledge is power and that is
what we we really mean when we speak
Of the comparative efficiency of ''the
men behind the guns.''

The 1905 Session Laws.

The present session Of the legislature
promises to make 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 copy OF the new meas
ures, you will not know what is the law,
and you know that ignorance of the law
does not excuse any person. The quick
est, cheapest and best way to know the
law is to buy copy Of the Pocket Ed
:ition" of the laws. This will be printed
within few hours after the governor has
disposed of the last measure before him.
1t will, in addition to the. law contain 80
pages of North Dakota statistical matter,
which will be Of interest, we think. The

more than this. Send this sum to the
Pioneer Express, and your address, and
the one dollar will have copy delivered
you as soon as printed.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.

."The man behind the gun" has passed
into proverb. tits one of those phrases
that so happily express certain state of
circumstances. that it has at once struck
the popular fancy and no expression is
more common-and yet perhaps nothing
is more hard to define just what is
meant.
That it has deep and to some extent
generally accepted meaning is undisput-
able, but just why ole man behind one
gun is superior to a"o,her man behind
perhaps the very same sort OF gun is not
altogether clear.
When applied to war, it is not alto
gether question OF personal bravery tor
some of the bravest are easily defeated;
but bravery certainly counts. 1t is no' a
matter OF personal physical prowess, for
the little men of Japan are beating the
big Cossacks. It is not matter of race
for"the colored troops also fought nobly"
though race habits and training undouDt-
edly are an essential part of the makeup
Of '.the man behind the gun" Perhaps
and probably what we mean by the
''map behind the gun" is that the best
man is one composed ofthe best Of many
elements most of which are common and
developed to a greater OF less degree in
all civilized countries.
OF these elements Of perfect man,
that which goes by the general name OF
education or knowledge is perhaps the
greatest and most essential. Not so
much the knowledge In itself, but be-
cause the acquisition Of knowledge
means discipline. Discipline Of the mind,
discipline Of the body. a discipline that
has brought both mind and body under
the control Of the brain.
The superiority Of ''the man behind
the plane, :" .sthe man behind the ham.
mer'' or .'the man behind the lathe,' is
Z that Of the brain. Almost any man could
build house il he would take the time

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But It has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fleshy and plump
il can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be
albuminous or hesh-forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak, and cereals; in other
words the kinds OF food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part Of our daily bills Of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwOrk,
does not properly digest and aSsimilate
il, which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the fiesh-forming beefsteak, eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stOmachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
d:ces aside and make Il regular practice
of taking. after each meal one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly di-
gested. because these tablets contain
the natural peptOnes and diastasc
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to reach its natural tone
and vigOr.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every kind CT fesh-forming food, meat,
eggs. bread and potatoes, and this Is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men. women and children.
Invalids and Children. even the most
delicate. use them With marked benefit
as they contain no strong. irritating
drugs. no cathartic nor any harmful in
gradients.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
most successful and most widely
known Of any remedy for stomach
troubles because they are the most req
snnable anu scientific Of modern medi-
cineS.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are solo
by every druggist in the Uniteo states
and Canada as we'll as Great Britain
at 80 cents for complete treatment.
