State Board Of Equalization
Boosts the Railways From
s22,477,sS7 to s27, 9o9, 1856.
State Board Of Equalization

The state board of equalization, in
session at Bismarck, yesterday COM
pleted the work of equalizing the as
sessment of the various lines of rail-
ways operating in North Dakota. There
are eight different roads and the main
lines of all companies were raised in
valuation from $500 to $4,000 per
mile. The side tracks and branch lines
were not changed, excepting in the
case Of the 500, which was hoisted
$500 mile.
With the increased mileage of the
various companies, together with the
increased valuation, the total raise
above last years figures was S5,431,-
499.
The entire valuation of all railroads
operating in this state as left by the
state board is $27,9O9,486 as against
$4,000, 900 in round figures for year
ago. The state will derive an addi-
tional revenue from the railroads this
year in the way of taxes, amounting to
$4,000.
From the changes that are being
made at Bismarck by the board it is
now anticipated that the total as
sessed valuation of the entire state
will this year reach the grand total
of 100000, 900.
The following table shows the rail-
road assessment In 1905 and in 1906:

alone.

RINGS WITH SECRET LocKET.
Pebbles Mounted For Sleeve Links and
Other Jewelry Novelties.


Some mems gold signet rings have
secret locket tops, and the same idea Is
applied to gold sleeve links. with oval
tops opening in like manner, to hold
4 tiny photograph.
All sorts of odd links and Knots are
seen on fancy bracelets.
A hairpin jar of crystal, of octagon
form, has a cherub design on the silver
top.
For unique effects, that of wearing
uncut jewels, mounted as pendants or
charms, is gaining favor.
Toothbrush stands have the frame at
the top fitted with glass caps. made to
slide over the brushes they accommo-
date, as means of protecting them
from dust.
There is a fancy just now of having
pebbles mounted, not as heirlooms, but
for their beauty! Mounted in silver or
gold, being duly polished. they may be
made useful as sleeve links.
NarciSsus is one of the prettiest
designs seen on silver toilet sets, be-

A Realistic Joke.

Sir Henry Irving used to tell with
glee of a joke that he, with Mr.. Toole,
the comedian, and third party, play
ed on one occasion at Glasgow hotel.
After their work they were supping
at the hotel and there was in the room
a high screen. The instant the waiter
was gone they commenced operations.
They stripped the silverware. of which
there was a tolerable supply, from the
table and placed it behind the screen.
They then opened the window and
turned out the gas, and finally all got
under the table.
The jokers had only to remain in
their cramped position few minutes
before they heard the unsteady feet
Of the waiter along the passage. The
darkened room amazed him and the
cold air from the window seemed to
strike him with alright.
"Goodness!" exclaimed he. ITS
thieves they are. I thocht as much
frae the luiks O. them and frae their
gay talk and their lauchin'. Eh, but
I'm a ruined man! I wish I hadna
taken the hale O. that last bottle!
Here! Herei Thieves! Thieves! Muir
der! Thieves! Thieves!" And, shout
ing at the top Of his voice. he ran out
Of the room and along the passage.
The minute he had gone the others
shut the window, lit the gas. restored
the silver to the table and sat around
as before. enjoying a quiet cigar.
Presently there was a confused
murmur along the passage. 1t grew
louder and louder, and in poured
truly motley throng, mostly half dress
ed, consisting of the manager, two men
in bare legs and slippers, and lady
with blanket, caught up in the alarm
Of fear, followed by the agonized wal
ter
One man was armed with a poker,
and another carried a bronze statue,
ready to hurl it at the thief. AS they
entered the merry trio all sat back and
looked at them with we'll feigned
amazement, and ToOle said to the as
tonished and bewildered manager:
do you always come in this way
with your friends when a gentleman
asks for his bill?"

THE DEVILS CODE.
Legend of a Monk, Satan and Quick
Niaht's Work.

Legend of a Monk, Satan and a Quick
Nights Work.
Stockholms public library contains
wonderful work which is called 1.-The
Devils Code" and which, in addition
to it's extraordinary name, is said to be
the biggest manuscript in the world
Every letter Is most beautifully drawn,
and the magnitude of the work Is so
great that it seems impossible for any
single monk to have done 1t.
The story Of the origin of the manu-
script, however, not only gives 1t as
the work of one man. but also states 1t
to be the work of a single night. The
story runs as follows:
"a poor monk had been condemned to
death, but was told mockingly by his
Judges that If he was able to copy the
whole Code between darkness and
dawn he would be saved. Relying up
on the impossibility of the task, those
who sentenced him furnished him with
the original copy of the Code with
pen ink and parchment. and left him.
Death must have been as little liked
in the middle ages as it Is now, for the
monk, forgetting the hopelessness OF
his task, commenced it. Before long,
however he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions,
and, fearing a cruel and horrible death,
he invoked the aid Of the prince OF
darkness, promising to surrender his
soul If he was assisted in the task.
THE devil obliged him by appear
ing on the spot, accepted the contract
and sat down to the work, and next
morning The Devils Code was finish
ed, the monk being found dead. The
copying clerk from the Internal re-
gions presumably fled away with the
poor mans soul as soon as the wicked
compact was nished."-Pearson's
Weekly.

THE CODE OF HONOR.
DueIine as 1t Was In France In the
Time of Richeieu.

DueIins as It Was In France In the
Time of RicheIeu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, 1t was said, between
1000 and 5000 lives during the twen-
ty years Of Henry Tvs reign, was at
it's height when his son came 10 the
throne. The council of Trent in 1S45
had solemnly condem,rad the prac-
tice of single combat, impartially in
Guiding principals, seconds and spec
tators in its penalty Of excommuni-
cation. 1902 an edict Of Henry pro-
nounced the "damnable custom Of
dueling introduced by the corruption
Of the century" to be the cause Of
so many piteous accidents. to the
extreme regret and displeasure Of the
king and to the irreparable damage
Of the state, that we should count
ourselves unworthy to hold the scep-
ter If we delayed to repress the enor-
nifty of this crime"
A whole series Of edicts followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce. them.
Degradation, Imprisonment, confisca-
ton of property, loss of civil rights
and death were the penalties attached
to the infringement Of the laws
against dueling, and still the prac-
tice prevailed. In 1926 Richelieu
published a milder form Of prohibi-
ton. The first offense was no longer
capital a third only Of the offenders
property was to be confiscated, and
the judges were permitted to recog-
nize the extenuating circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the min
listers patience in this direction The
Place Royale had long been a favor
ite dueling ground, and De Bouteville
travelled from Brussels to fight his
twenty-second duel here. in the heart
of Paris, in deliberate defiance, Of the
kings authority. The result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though
he was the count, went with his sec
ond to the scaffold, and the marked
decrease from that time in the. num-
Der of duels may be attributed either
to moderation used in framing the
law or to the inexorable resolution
with which 1t was enforced.--Mac-
millan's Magazine.

get-nots, and finished with gold
clasps and a pretty gold pencil attach
ed by slender chain.
Among the taking frivolties Of the
moment are the useful little trinkets
in miniature form which, If not in
dispensable are, as whim of fashion,
still worth while possessing for their
beauty and grace.
A charming cross displays two en-
eralds alternating with a beautiful
gold leaf in dull yellow. while an
other cross composed of pearls Is
finished with a group Of light COL
ored sapphires at each end Of the
cross.
The popularity Of the old fashioned
locket, which is suspended from q
neckchain, Is the occasion for the
introduction of something new in
this line, which has been seen in
the shape of a golden ball locket
worn as a charm on a jewel set
bangle.
Dog collars are fashionable for
evening wear in Jet, pearls, precious
or semi-precious stones. Rose
quartz, pink jacinth, cut crystals and
mother of pearl are appropriate for
young girls in collars, necklaces or
beads. Also pale blue and pink
bead crisscross collarettes.
Women who wear other than lace
cuffs, as a combination of linen and
lace, have an interest in the revival
of cuffs links, which are Of course a
