a dlgnity sadly tinctured with embar-

Excuse me, Mr. Jackson, | called to

He rose. "Please be seated Miss
Baesden. What is it-trouble about a
dog? Perhaps ! canahclp you"
The girls cheeks burned redder.
Something in Mr.. Jackson's manner
held so much power, knowledge, pos
session, that she was mastered in spite
of herself.
1--WE lost my dog" she said, 1.-The one
you gave me- | WAS shopping with
Aunt Esther and left the dear little fel-
low in the carriage. When we came
out of Blacks he was gone. l adver-
tised him. and then l found this in the
found column, and | came here"

"Wel, | found a dog-a King Charles
spaniel, near Blacks. Two other dogs
We're worrying him. and picked him
up. / thought perhaps he'd been turn
ed down because his owner was tired
of him. I've been turned down my
self that way, and know how it feels,
so took pity on the little cuss."
The eyes opposite him filed slowly.
"Was it Teddy" she asked. "Oh,
didn't tire of him; | liked him better
than ever after-it was all that opal
ring" she added irrelevantly.
He studied her narrowly.
81 gave the opal to another girl" he
said, "and we haven't quarreled yet"
She rose. "Goodby, Mr.. Jackson.
Perhaps she will appreciate my dog
too"
Perhaps she might" he said, stand
ing before her. But, you see, you
don't know yet that it is your dog.
You haven't proved property"

"Not unless l buy the ring"

remarked to himself:

Louis xv.,s F1awed Diamond.

"Comte," said Louis XIV. to the Count
de at. German, "wlll you help me to
gain 1000 francs? I have got here a
diamond with flaw, valued at 5000
francs. 1t would be worth 10000 IL it
were flawless." After having the dia-
mond carefully weighed Louis handed
it to the count, who examined it mi
nutely and replied, "It might be done,
sire, If you will allow me to keep the
stone for month" A month later he
brought back the diamond almost in
appreciably less in weight, but flaw
less. The jeweler to whom friend of
Louis offered it for sale gave 5000
francs for it, but the king repurchased
it as a curiosity. 7. P.'s London

RExAu "s3" HAIR TONIC

The famous Rexall 1903" Hair
Tonic is composed in chief of
Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and
Pilocarpin.
Resorcin is one of the latest
and most effective germ-killers
discovered by a science, and in
connection with Beta Naphthol,
which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is
formed which not only destroys
the germs which rob the hair of
its nutriment, but creates a
clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the
lodgment and development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin is a well-known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to dis
ease of the scalp. 1t is not a
coloring matter or dye-it pro-
duces its effect by stimulating
the scalp and hair follicles to
health and active life.
This C IN bin alton of cur
atives mixed with alcohol as a
stimulant, perfects the most eff.
fective remedy for hair and
scalp troubles known today.

RExaLL DYSPEPSIA. TABLETS

hEAALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and 9th er
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used is manufac-
tured under a new proces s
which develops its greatest eff
fciency. Pepsin pot only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
it seems to exert a tonic inhu-
ence upon the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carminitives add prop
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The combination of the whole
makes a remedy absolutely in,
valuable to any man or woman
suffering from dyspepsia-and
not only a remedy, but a cnre
which works by gradually re-
building and stimulating t h G
glands which perform the di
gestive functions. Package, 25c

CHERRY JUICE COUGH SYRUP

CHERRY JUICE COUGH SYRUP
A new idea in Cough Syrups.
This preparation owes its eff.
ficiency to the presence of Wild
Cherry, Vinegar Squills, Bone
set, Horehound and Syrup.
All of these have been known
for a hundred years as remedies
for coughs and hoarseness.
In Rexall Cherry Juice Cough
Syrup, all of these rem e dies
have been combined by a pro-
cess of manufacture tn at has
blended them into a perfect me-
dicinal harmony whereby the
characteristics of each support
and reinforce the others.
The pathological properties
of each ingredient does its own
particular work in easing the in
famed membranes, loosening
the phlegm and setting up a
condition of health in the bron-
chial and nasal passages.
One spoonful will relieve the
inhamed membranes and tempo
rarily stop the cough. One bot
tie will work a cure. 1t is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

There seems to be a general impress
sion that the coming session of the
legislature is to be devoted exclusively
to the consideration of political mat
ters-matters which concern the well
fare and success of certain political
designs. But the member who goes to
Bismarck with the impression that all
he has to do is to line up with his
crowd and vote, spending the rest Of
his time in committing his political
opponents to the regions made hideous
by Dante's Inferno. will come home
with small chance <f ever represent
ing his constituents again.
There are many things which need
remedying in the laws of the state and
which concern no political party or
effect no politicians ambitions. Among
these is change in the present law
of foreclosure of mortgages. Under
the present plan a notice of foreclos-
ure may be published in any news
paper in the county in which the real
estate is situated. This is all the not
ice the mortgagor has of the foreclos-
ure proceedings.
Illustrative of the injury sometimes
wrought by these methods, let case
be supposed in any Mrge county where
there are probably dozen small pa
pers published, none of which circu-
late to any general extent throughout
the county. If the land upon which
the mortgage is to be foreclosed is To-
Gated in one end of the county, the
party foreclosing, if he is disposed to
defraud the mortgagor, will have the
notice published in the paper in the
part of the county not only farthest
removed from the premises, but at the
same time the one which has the least
circulation in the community in which
the land lies.
In many instances the mortgagor
never sees the notice and knows moth
ing Of the foreclosure until the time
for redemption has expired. The pro-
perty has probably brought not
fourth of its value but the mortgagor
is helpless so far as redress is con-
cerned.
The law should be so changed that
personal service of the notice of the
foreclosure upon the mortgagor
should be necessary unless an affidavit
is filed showing that he is not res
ident of the state or that his address
and place of residence are unknown.
And in that case the law should re-
quire notice to be printed on SUBJ
stantial paper and posted on the front
Of the residence located on the prop
erty if there be one, and in case there
is none, then that post of at least ten
feet in height with a board sufficiently |
large that the notice may be tackled
thereon placed at the top of the post

A SQUARE DEAL.

The Evening Times is ready to ad-
NIT the faults and shortcomings of
the railroads though it is accused Of
being the tool of these roads because
it believes in giving them square
deal, and cooperating with them rath-
err than opposing them. If the rail-
roads are responsible for the car
shortage in this state, and the condi-
ton is one of their own making for
the purpose of injuring the state, they
should be punished and punished Sc
verely. In the same way, if the short
age of fuel in the northwest is found
to be due to any gross mismanage-
ment on the part of the railroads, no
punishment is too severe to inflict up
on them.
But no city in the country is more
dependent upon the railroads for its
prosperity than is Grand Forks. Bus
mess men who have given the matter
careful and considerate attention
claim that the immediate prosperity
of the city beyond its present limits
lies along the lines of it's development
as wholesale and jobbing center. If
this condition is true, it does not take
statesman to see that the freight
schedules are the one thing essential
to our prosperity. We can force GER
tain conditions from the railroads by
the enactment of laws, but there has
never been a concession secured from
one Of them by force
It is questionable If the Incorporate
and demagogic newspaper criticism,
intended to create prejudice against
the roads as such, rather than to con-
Wet them of having done the city and
the state an injustice, will not cause
them to refuse special considerations
for the development of the lines indi-
Gated in the city, and consequently
injure our prospective wholesale and
jobbing interests.
In the business world we somehow
forget the precepts taught in the Sun
day schools of loving our enemies as
ourselves, and the average business
man will send the job which he can
not do or the contract which he can
not accept to the man who has at some
time done him favor rather than to
the one who has fought him at every
turn and caused him to work harder
to accomplish certain end. Human
nature is much the same, and while
1t is said that corporations are ficti-
tious persons without souls, those who
have the directions of these soulless
persons are not so very far removed
from the average class of mortals and
are largely Influenced by the same
motives as the rest of mankind.
Just at this time there is tendency
on the part of those who are playing
the demagogue to attempt to array the
masses against all corporations and
especially against railroads. 1t is ad-
mitted that if these institutions had
souls they would not be many of them
found among the just made perfect.
