appears likely from the manner in
which the other tail end teams are

supposed that the fans here will be
satisfied with that proportion of vic

The Parting Shot Polite.

when was younger than I am

what this side of middle age, 81 had
position in the Office of a man who
had a big reputation. Naturally I
felt my responsibility. It was plain
to me that the head of the firm had
outlived his usefulness, and used to
feel sorry to think what would happen
to him if I ever left him. Sheer mag
nanimity made me overlook lot of
things. 's'<. ...
Il wasn't treated in that Office with
all the Difference due me, but I stood
it till one day somebody went too far.
Then [ marched into the old mans
private Office and laid down the law
to him. I told him I wasn't going to
endure such treatment another day.
l was going to quit, that was what
was going to do, and I was going to
quit right then and there. I unbur-
dened my mind freely, and then I
stopped to give him chance to
apologize and beg me not to ruin him
by leaving. He didn't look up from
his desk. He just said to me in a
polite kind of way:
Please don 4 slam the door when
you go out. '-Washington Post.

Brother SwinnertOn.

Brother Swinnerton of the First
Methodist church is one of the most
pleasant and obliging preachers it
has ever been our good fortune to
meet, but last Sabbath morning he
positively refused to discourse upon
the subject, "Three Pipes of Lead"
as it was stated in The Ore of Satur-
day he would do. The reverend gen
tleman announced to his congregation
that as he was neither plumber or a
hold-up artist it would be impossible
for him to properly handle the subject
given. He thereupon delivered a
broad, splendid sermon from the
theme, "Three Types of Men," which
were the exact words he telephoned
to The Ore office Friday morning. It
has been discovered since that the
line was crossed with that of Chief of
Police Wiring, who at the same time
was making some inquiries regarding
the whereabouts of ':Muck" Nice claim.

Vanderbilt Earned twenty Cents.

Two elderly country women were
sightseeing in New York and found
themselves on Fifth avenue. The old
ladies had heard of the public auto
mobiles that take visitors on sight
seeing trips through the park, so they
accosted a young man in an automo-
bile coat about to climb into a large
motor car standing at the entrance.
They expressed their desire to make
the trip through the park and pro-
ceeded to climb into the machine. The
young man looked somewhat sur
prised, but politely helped the pas
sengers into the car, got in himself
and took them for spin. When they
asked what was the fare, he replied
gravely: "Ten cents each,',, which
they paid. Just then an acquaintance
OF theirs came up and was informed
as to their auto ride. "And do you
know who the young man was?'' asked
he. The old ladies did not know.
"Well, it was young Mr.. Vanderbilt, y
he said with chuckle. SIS that so?
Well, he is very nice young man. :"
said one OF the strangers.

NcVlcar's Warm Chest Protector.

l.
w. G. McVicar had novel exper-
fence on Tuesday morning while driv-
ing from his home in Greenbush to
Princeton. Before starting he had
lighted his pipe and was smoking like
limekiln as his high-strung nag
logged along at 2:40 gait. Not
withstanding the chilliness of the
morning air Mac felt comfortable and
warm, especially under his chest-pro-
tector, and was thinking how consid-
crate it was of his good wife to in
sist upon his wearing the cold-resist-
ing channels in front of his breast.
Suddenly he imagined that he was get
ting too warm for comfort and reached
up to unbutton his overcoat, when to
his dismay he discovered that that
garment was on fire and a hole six
inches in diameter had been burned
through his overcoat, undercoat,
chest-protector, vest and outside shirt.
A handful of snow extinguished the
smouldering flames, but Mac swears
by the nine gods that hereafter he will
wear lid on his pipe.

Save Animal Heat.

Cattle, as we'll as other domestic
animals, require to maintain internal
temperature to vary but little from 100
degrees F. The cooling of the body
is to large degree accomplished by
the evaporation of moisture from the
skin. Each pound of moisture evap-
GRATED from the body of the animal
withdraws from it about 966. 6 heat
units. by heat units we mean the
amount of heat energy it takes to
raise one pound of pure water from
81 degrees F. to 80 degrees F.. The
theoretical fuel value of one pound of
beef fat is 1881 heat units. A
pound of beef fat, when reduced to
heat, will evaporate about seventeen
pounds of water. If steer evapor-
-ates from his body four ponds Of
rain he must expend the equivalent
heat of more than one-half pound of
beef. The fuel value of pound of
milk is l,14S heat units. which is
equivalent to the amount of heat
evaporating lis pounds of water.
Should dairy COW be left out in cold
rain and should she evaporate four
pounds of water from her body, she is
then expanding the equivalent heat
of three and one-half pounds of milk.
Again, when cattle are out in falling
sleet and wet snow an extra amount
Of heat is withdrawn from them, be-
cause it requires an extra amount of
heat to bring the element from solid
to a liquid form. The evaporation of
pound of snow from the cows back
is equivalent to the. amount of heat
necessary to produce a pound of milk.
By all means provide your cattle with
suitable shelter and have it ready be-
fore the inclement weather sets in.

Must Have Second Papers.

According to new ruling of the in
terror department at Washington, an
nounced by Register Montague of the
CrOOkston land Office, no homesteader
on the Red Lake Indian reservation
lands opened under the Stevenson
act can acquire title to his holding,
either by five years residence or COM
muted proof, unless he is a bona fde
citizen of the United States and has
taken out his second papers. ~.'s
Heretofore it has been supposed
that homesteaders on the Red Lake
lands opened by the STEVENSON bill
could commute after fourteen months,
in accordance with section 23O1 OF the
revised statutes of the United States,
which provides that homesteader
who has taken out his first papers is
entitled to final proof and a govern
ment warrant at the expiration of
fourteen months Of residence and the
payment Of a stated sum of money.
The STEVENSON bill is so worded
that conflict of meaning results. In
one place it says that communication
proofs may be made in accordance
with section 230l and in another por-
ton of the bill it is stated specifically
that no homesteader can acquire title
to his holdings unless he is a bona
fide resident of the United States and
has taken out his second papers.
The department of the interior, after
considering the matter, rules that the
bill intends the latter, and the result
WIFI be the app1fcation FOR second
papers by a whole lot of homesteaders
who heretofore believed themselves
able to commute and prove up with
only their first papers.
The sections of the STEVENSON act
which appear to conflict and were the
cause Of the ruling of the department
are:
That such purchaser shall have the
right of communication as provided by
section 2,301 of the revised United
States statutes, by paying for the land
at the price for which it sold, receiv-
ing credits for payments previously
made.
"That aliens who have declared
their intention to become citizens of
the United States NAV become mr.
chasers under this act, but before
final proof =, and acquiring
title, must take out their full natural
ization papers. -

Laws We're NlisQuOted.

Some time ago there were published
in newspapers quite generally over the
country, especially in the northern
part of the state, articles to the effect
that school teachers were not required
to live the regulation length of time
on land which they wished to prove
up on. This is entirely wrong.
School teachers are treated the same
as anyone else who wishes to acquire
government land.
Della Sebion appeared at the land
office at Crookston to make final set
Element, but her papers were rejected
as she had not lived the required time
on the homestead. She had been led
to believe by the articles that we're
published that she was only required
to live on the land when she was out
of school, which she did. The land
she had picked out is a very valuable
piece, but Miss Sebion will be forced
to return and live the required time if
she wishes to own it.-Bemidji Pho

as Jolly Jerry to do odd Jobs around

I'm this case one act Of physical

evidence. however, that the police

"It is true that much is charged in
the complaint which oversteps the

evidence to sustain such charges, or
that any unlawful act to the injury

vincing. So long as the defendants
conhne themselves to peaceful means
to advance the interests of their Or

The moment that they resort to force,

II do not find evidence of force.

J. D. Peisinger, a travelling man,
probably from New York, was the
next victim of the sidewalks. The
crowd had called to him repeatedly
not to jump. Suddenly he crawled
