Claim Nearly Cost Life.

Fred McNulty, of this city, had a
terrible experience while holding down
a claim which he has several miles
east of here. He went to the claim
just before the big blizzard of last
week. The weather previously had
been mild, and McNulty had no store
of fuel in the shack. The storm was
so fierce that he could not make his
way home, so he went to bed in order
to keep from freezing to death. For
three days the storm ragged, and Nc
Nulty lay covered up to his ears, with
out bite to eat and only small
quantity of water. When at last the
storm subsided he made his way to q
neighbor's, mile distant, freezing his
face and ears while en- route. When
he finally reached Minot he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed as result
of his eXperience.-Minot Correspond

WORD Is MODERN ENGLISH.
"chap" To-Day Has Not Meaning Old
Writers Gave to II.

The name Of the new play at the
Criterion, Prince Chap" would have
been quite unintelligible to an English
man of Shakespeares time. Not until
the end of the sixteenth century did
chapman" a trader or peddler, get
contracted into chap even in vulgar
speech, and even then for long time
1t did not advance beyond the mean
ing of buyer or customer.
In this sense Steele speaks of hunt
ing after chaps" and Wilkes writes
that perhaps Mrs. Mead would buy,
but she would be hard chap" Chap
seems to have reached its ultimate
stage as a casual equivalent of man
through the intermediate sense Of a
man with whom one has dealings, not
of business, hut of good fellowship.
The case of customer" is very sim
liar. Shakespeare used it to mean a
boon companion, but "a queer Gus
toner" now means little more than "a
queer man." There is a trace of the
old companionship idea, however
when a young woman speaks of my
chap" and in Prince Chap" ITSELF

there Sunday night, you would come
up Sunday night and be there to meet
me. Perhaps that would be the best
way. All | care is that | don't want

Grace Brown to

Woman's Simple Documents That Made

of Chester Gillette.
They formed the most remarkable
SsasHye of that case. The whole struc-

spelled his doom from the moment
tfrssy were placed in the hands of a
RITy of IL men. 1t Is inconceivable
EhAf Gillette kept them for their
rathos, or the gentleness of charac-
Ter which they revealed, for he is not
the kind of man to whom such
shinES appeal. 1t is utterly improb-

commonly marked by retrogressive
