for another throw, at the same time
advancing rapidly, fired. She pitched
forward uttering most unearthly
screech and in a moment all the
other monkeys were flying wildly to
the southerly point of the woods and
shortly had vanished entirely from
view.
"What finally became of them?
We never knew positively, but hunt
ers and travellers report that the
Everglades in Florida for the past
few years have been full of monkeys,
and that they appear tame and friend
ly, but are in mortal terror of a gun
and if the traveller approaches too
close they shake their heads violent

Fernando was at first quite discon-
solate at his loss but I made him
foreman of the Buffalo mine, gave
him a generous share of the stock,
and he has proven a splendid man
for the position, so that the returns
are very satisfactory to each of us.
Except when we think of the sad fate
and mourn the untimely loss Of that
remarkable Darwinian Specimen of
Evolution, we can afford to laugh at
our first attempt to utilize the Miss

Kermit Roosevelt.

Kermit Roosevelt, second son Of the
President, is to considerable portion
of the public the least known member
Of the Roosevelt family and yet he is
one of the most interesting. Kermit
is a manly lad who is now in prepara-
tory school and who will within a few
years follow in the steps of his older
brother, Theodore, Jr, by entering Har-
ward. He bids fair to prove a strong
er lad physically than Teddy" and has
always gone in for athletics and out
door life in general. Not long ago he
went on a hunting expedition in the
Northwest, under the guidance of a
man who had been a companion of his
father in his ranchings days and the
big game bagged by Kermit proved con-
clusively that he in time will be as
good sportsman as his father.
Coming home from this trip Ker-
NIT politely gave up his sleeping car
berth to an old lady who boarded the
train after all the berths had been sold.

velt family are fond of pets, but Ker-
nit goes ahead of all the others in his
love of domestic animals. Dogs have
always been his favorites and there
has seldom been a time when he has
not had one or more canine followers,
these animals being transported from
Oyster Bay to Washington each autumn
and back again to the summer home
in the spring.
Kermit Roosevelt is also an excellent
horseman. He learned to ride on the
Presidents old pony Diamond, "a
sturdy black animal that served as the
Presidents mount when he was a
young man. Old Diamond is now a
pensioner in the White House stables
and when Kermit goes riding with his
father,-as he does whenever he is
home for a vacation,-he uses one of
the saddle animals in the White House
stables, his preference being for Wyom-
ing, the handsome mount presented to
President Roosevelt by his friends and
admirers in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

were somewhat suspicious and an agent

to the probable cause of the fire. This

Some years since there was NJ
little excitement throughout the
South, caused by the announcement
that monkeys had been proved to be
wholly capable as cotton pickers ano
of course much cheaper than native
labor. All sorts of stories were in the
air, some partly true and many wholly
false, until finally some newer ano
later sensation relegated this one tc
forgetfulness.
A couple of years since, received
a visit from my old California part
lner, who had settled in the South, and
now owned one of the finest small
plantations in the State. From him
I heard the story first hand, as he him
self was responsible for it.
AS we sat around the blazing log
fire in my Virginia home, and smoked
and talked of our early days in Cali
fornia and the Territories, he sudden
" broke out into his hearty laugh and
said: Erred, did you ever hear of my
monkey trade, and how they picked
my cotton for me, and raised merry
hob all through our part of the state?"
I replied that since he asked the ques-
ton, seemed to recollect having read
something to that effect, only that
it was but very faint impression,
and had probably been dismissed from
my mind as a flake" story. ,
'cNo," he answered, 'it wa. abso-
Iutely true, and yet believe it could
be made a thorough and complete
success, not only in the cotton fields,
but in large orchards and perhaps
among the smaller fruits and berries.

A gentleman once possessed valua-
Bile sporting dog which was extremely
clever in the retrieving of game. The
owner, however, was a remarkably bad

in his mouth, and laid it carefully at his
masters feet The animal had retrieved

"The Oriental Limited" is the title
of a folder just issued by the passen-
ger department of the Great Northern
Railway descriptive of that crack
transcontinental train. This new
production is distinctive among the
general run of railway literature. The
covers Immediately catch the eye
with Oriental adornments, prominent
among them being Chinese ideo-
graph, "long life and happiness"
This adornment is one which ap-
peared on the robes of Prince Tsai
Use, nephew to the Princess Dowager
of China, on his recent visit to this
country. The fact that he and his
suite travelled across America on the
Oriental Limited makes it especially
appropriate that this design should
appear on this latter folder descrip-
tive of the Oriental Limited. The
covers are dark olive, the lettering
being in gilt. and vermillion. The
folder when extended is about a yard
in length. Extending clear across the
inside pages is a typographical map
showing in a striking manner the
character of the country traversed by
the Oriental Limited. On the same
pages is also large diagram showing
the arrangement of all the cars which
make up this superb train, together
with Photographic reproduction of
the train in motion. The other pages
are taken UP with descriptive matter
relative to the equipment, together
with interior views of the cars. These
are all in colors giving an accurate
idea of the luxurious furnishings.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

In the case of State VS.. Tonne, a
decision was handed down 4 by the
supreme court this morning, wherein
the order OF the district court of
Griggs county, denying the motion
for a new trial, is reversed and the
case remanded for further proceed
ings according to law. ..#5 F.. :.
Turner & Wright, of Fargo, ap-
peared as attorneys for the defendant
and the attorney general, the states
attorney of Griggs county, and Lee
Combs of Valley City, appeared for
the state. f%37S&. 81
The information in the case
charged that the defendant, who was
the cashier of the Hannaford State
Bank, embezzled the sum of $1,000.
The information was attacked in the
district court on demurrer on the
ground that it did not conform to the
requirements of the code Of civil pro-
cedure, in that more than one offense
was charged. The particular portion
of the information to which objection
was raised read as follows:5 -''That
the said defendant did then and there,
wilfully, knowingly, fraudulently and
feloniously appropriate or secrete
with fraudulent intent to appro-
pirate, the money aforesaid, to his
own use or purpose" etc.
The entire case practically turns
upon the use of the distinctive "or'
in the information, and the conten-
ton of counsel for the defendant is
upheld by the court in an opinion by
Mr.. Chief Justice Morgan.
The syllabus of the court is as fol-
lows:
1. Section 1852, Revised Codes, de-
fines the crime of embezzlement as
the fraudulent appropriation of prop
erty, Or secreting the property. with
intent to fraudulently appropriate it.
The information charged the defend
ant with, fraudulently appropriating
property or secreting it with fraudu.
lent intent to appropriate it. Held
Bad on demurrer as not charging the
offense with certainty.
2. Where the statute specifies sew
eral things disjunctively, as consti
tuting an offense, the geeral rule is
| that to charge the several things dis
ljunctively in an information renders
lthe5 charge uncertain and therefore
subject to demurrer 5s<sS :.
g.. Section SOAP, Revised Codes, is
not applicable to such an information
as the words connected by the dis
junctive are not used to describe the

At the. jamestown Exposition is al
Prehistoric Spring from which
$Pownatan and Pocahontas Drank.
On the grounds of the Jamestown
exposition on the shore OF Hampton
Roads near Norfolk, Virginia. there is
prehistoric spring of great interest,"
It is prehistoric becauses neither the
memory Of man nor the records of;
history run back to the time when it;
was not there. That the grim, power
full and diplomatic old chief Powahtan
drank of its waters in certain and it is
much more than probable that his.
beautiful daughter, the gentle Poca-
hontas, often quenched her thirst
from it's clear and cool depths. Cap,
tain John Smith must often have
stopped there when going and coming
on his many local voyages of explora-
ton. Had we no other evidence We
should know that the Indians made it
place of rendezvous from the fact
that arroW.heads and other Indian
implements are occasionally found
there to the present day. @ i. 81
Visitors to the Exposition will find
the spring near the Arts and Crafts
village. It is situated on Lovers
Lane" at the end Of the. corduroy
bridge back of the Pocahontas Hos
pital. A tablet has been placed over
the spring which hears the following
