be greatly disappointed II 1t should
turn out that after all was kissing
the cook"
A we'll known Grand Forks lawyer,
who formerly resided in Ohio, says
that many years ago he went west, but
as he got no clients and stood good
chance Of starving to death, he decided
to return east. Without any money he
boarded train for Cincinnati, intend
Ing to seek employment as reporter
on one Of the daily papers. When the
conductor called for his ticket he said:
Il am on the staff of the ENQUIRER
at Cincinnati; suppose you will pass
me?"
The conductor looked at him sharp
ly.
THE editor of The Enquirer is in
the smoker; come with me; II he iden-
titles you all right"
He followed the conductor into the
smoker; the situation was explained.
The editor" said:
oh, yes, recognize him as one of
the staff; it is all right"
Before leaving the train the lawyer
again sought the editor"
"Why did you say you recognized
me? am not on your paper"
I'm not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass, and was scared
to death lest you should give me
away"
Now see here. You bought two
tickets for the theatre for me, that
was "a. Then gave you IS and after
that borrowed Sc more and last night
l paid you "a and now you owe me s."
said patron of DeMers restaurant
last night.
His companion replied: "No, that
Isn't right-you owe me $2," and he
went into an extended explanation of
the problem.
During the progress of the CONVEX
satton quiet looking individual sit
ting sope distance away was rapidly
figuring upon piece of paper. When
the dialogue had reached a critical
point the harmless looking man arose
from his seat and stepping up to the
table said:
well, gentlmen, don't like to see
anyone quarreling over SO simple a
thing as that. Now 1 have figured it
all out and l find that Anne was 16
years old when she was half as old as

At that point waiter interfered and

SCHOOL FUNDS.
The Increasing Value Of the Great GIFT
BLAND to North Dakota Schools :,
and Institutions.

Gnu AuotltUtIOuSs
The grant made by the federal gov
eminent for the aid of common schools
and state institutions was approxim-
ately $4,000 acres of land. OF this
100000 acres have been sold. The
sale of this small amount has created
an endowment fund for the common
schools of $4.429,021.6s. OF this amount
$l,S1S.7S4.43 has been paid in. For
the various state institutions and en-
dowment of ~781 ,818.621.55 as been
created. Of which $326,5S9 was in cash.
on this endowment the interest is 8
per cent for deferred payments on
land, and usually per cent on money
invested tn bonds. It is not difficult
to see that our schools are richly en-
lowed. II the balance of our lands
should be sold at minimum of SO an
acre, 1t would create fund of $685.

Is not small task and demands the
most thorough business ability. Dur.
Ing the past two years the board of
university and school lands has on
hand to invest over a million dollars.
an amount many times greater than
any previous board has had to handle.
The necessity of having it at inter-
est, coupled with the limited field of
investment has caused the board much
anxiety. which we, as secretary of the
board have keenly felt. Practically
every school bond offered the board
has been bought State bonds have
heen bought and large blocks of
school bonds held by outside parties
have been bought at premium.
thousands have been loaned on first
mortgages on farm lands. The sum
total of the investments for the last
biennial period is, in round number,
$95O,0OO The urgent need in connec-
ton with this fund is a more extern
sive opportunity to invest. This is
partially remedied by an amendment
which has passed one session of the
legislature. However this fails to open
one very excellent field of investment,
viz, bonds of other states. Supt. w.

Gates at WahpetOn.


Special to The Evening Times.
Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. 16.-At the reg
ular meeting of the city council last
evening a resolution was adopted Or
dering the Great Northern railroad to
build gates en- its right of way across
Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
streets. The traffic on the Great North
ern through this city is reaching enor-
nous proportions and trains are pass
Ing every hour, making it extremely
dangerous for persons crossing the
tracks. Several have had narrow es-
capes from serious injury.

former home in Chilocco, Okla, and
has taken charge of the government
property here. He is arranging to
equip the school and improve the
grounds, and will open the school as
soon as practicable The equipment
must all be shipped from Chicago and
st. Louis government supply stations,
and it will likely be several months
before everything is ready. Mr.. Lipps
thinks the school will not open before
January.

reputation as perhaps the most skill
ful farmer in that eminently agricul-
tural state, Iowa. His farm in Tama

scientific management and rational
foresight. Mr.. Wilson, before accept

About four years ago / was aff1ict-

which produced a severe itching irr1-

deal OF annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that l was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
Of m3 town. After thorough exami-
nation Of the dreaded complaint they
announced 1t to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin

using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connestion
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

continued the use of the Cuticura

oystsm That Drought Unexpected Re-
turns.
A well known public accountant was
talking about good and bad business
: systems." During his discourse he told
this story of system used in one OF
the nearby summer resorts, says the
Philadelphia Ledger:
"One day man came into this
store and bought some silk and told
the clerk to charge It. The clark for
got to ask whom 1t was to be charged
10, and when the purchaser went out
~ asked his proprietor what to do
shout II. The proprietoF, not wanting
~ lose the money. the bill amounting
70 80. told the salesman to charge It
70 each person who had an account
there. Those who didn't buy 1t will
kick and he who did will no doubt
pay for It, he said.
a month later the proprietor asked
the bookkeeper:
Did you nnd out who got that silk
about month ago?'
No. sir, did not was the reply,
but seven different customers have
paid Tor It.

CHAPTER XIV.

He looked much more self-possessed
than his accuser as he entered the
room, hat in hand. One might have
thought that brisk wind was blowing
in the legs of Billery's trousers, he
trembled so violently. The newcomer
was perfectly self-possessed, and In
his scrupulous attire and with the fine
distinction of manner which belonged
to him he presented strong contrast
to the occupant OF the room, whose re-
cent indulgence In his only vice had
left him with debased features and
Mnstrung nerves. Billery after y
weeks sobriety was Enthusiastically q
gentleman. Billery after a weeks de-
bauch looked like beery loafer. He
was not trembling from fear, for,
though he had the temper OF a sheep,
he had no want OF physical courage.
He made tremendous effort and
pulled himself together.
ITO what do owe the honor OF
this very unexpected visit?" he asked.
Brangwyn, who on his entry had
gravely saluted Truscott, placed his
hat upon q chest Of drawers and
looked at Billery with quiet disdain
which was not easy to endure.
Il am not sorry to find you here.
Mr.. Truscott. l understand that you
are this gentleman's employer, and
that In the inquiries he has felt it his
duty to make about myself he has
had your sanction and support"
so long as Mr.. Billery's inquiries
lasted they had my sanction and sup
port said Truscott. Il believe they
! would have had the sanction and sup
port OF any man who occupies a posi-
tion similar to my own"
"Of that it Is impossible for me to
judge, returned Aloysius, calmly. Il
can have no knowledge Of the grounds
on which you acted. But you have
the reputation OF being an honorable
and upright man, and must assume
| that you were actuated by a sense OF
duty. / am not here to complain OF
inquiry X have appeared proper

himself to inquiry, but has given him

ha, as he left a Philadelphia tele-
phone booth after having called up
his fiancee in a Western city over
the long distance. and asked: "What's
the charge?"

Vansant began to search his cloth.
Ing for money, discovering his total
capital was insufficient to meet the
cost Of the conversation. Manager
Arthur Barney suggested that mes
senger be sent to Vansant's hotel for
the necessary sum. This was done,
while the hello girl held Vansant q
prisoner In the telephone booth. It
took the messenger two hours and q
half to return with reinforcement OF
greenbacks.
I'm glad that kid didn't have to go

walked away.

CHAPTER xlII.-(continued).


Well, he's in love with his new
parishioner. He tells me he's one of
the most generous and open-handed
fellows in the world. The children OF
the place adore him. Now, I'm very
much inclined to trust in a child's in
stincts."
Yes" said Billery, you've told me
all that before, but it makes no differ
ence to my opinion. The money is
conscience money, as I've said since
first heard of it. The fellow was al
ways supercilious with me, but ad-
nit that with some people he used to
have very taking manner, and he
has one Of the sweetest vices ever
heard. But Nero had voice, you re-
member, and was rather a captivating
covey until you got to know him,
believe"
Il can't reao the man as you do,"
Truscott answered, "and IL the truth
is ever to be known 1t may turn out
that he killed the old man by mis-
adventure, and that he hid him in the
manner you suggest; but that he is a
deliberate and wilful criminal l simp-
ly won't believe"
Billeery stood by his guns.
The brute killed old Brangwyn for
his money, and If he we're here I'd tell
him SO to his face"
Just as he spoke the words knock
sounded at the door and the slaternly
slavey at Billerys bidding came in,
holding a visiting card pinched be.
tween finger and thumb In a corner OF
her ragged apron.
III you please, sir, another gentle
man to see you. He's awaiting in the
hall, and he says he has very particu-
lar business. Mr.. Billery."
Billery took the card and glanced at
1t with wide-open eyes.
Talk OF Satan," he said, and hand
ed the card to Truscott.
"Jehoshaphat!' cried Truscott,
staring in his turn. "Shall you see
him?"
"Yes," said Billery, 'Tll see him"
His cheeks had gone very white and
accentuated the warm pink of his
nose. Don't go. Rags. can't see him
without witness. Show the gentle
man upstairs. Belinda"
"Yes, SIR" said the girl, and the
two men stood staring at each other
as she trailed her loose slippers down
the staircase.
What In thunder brings him here?"
said Billery.
You will know in a moment, / pre-
sume," Truscott answered.
The name inscribed upon the card
was that Of Aloysius Brangwyn.
