Unprotected Man.

The fact is that if we examine our
selves gell we must rank ourselves,
without vanity, among the most IN
protected, the most naked, the most
fragile, the most brittle and iaccid
beings in creation Compare us. for
instance, with the insect, so formid-
Eoly equipped fer attack and 50 fan
tastically armour cased! Contemplate
among others the ant, upon which you
may heap ten or twenty thousand
times the weight of its body without
apparently mountaineering it, Con-
slider the cockchafer, the least robust
OF the beetles. and weigh what it is
able to carry before the rings of its
abdomen crack or the castings of It's
forewings yield. AS for the resis-
lance of the stag beetle, it is, SO to
speak, unlimited. Maurice Maeter-
3inck in London Daily Mail.

rectness of a small Brlton, the despair
Of his humorous father A systematic
course was begun, in the hope that the
child's life might be broadened and
frightened. Each week one or two even
ings were devoted to a careful explana-
ton of the jokes as they appeared in
three OF the humorous weeklies of the
better class. Puns were avoided, as
they were more easily detected and
often enjoyed, while the father had no
desire for a punster SON. At first the
evenings were strenuous, disliked by
both to the humorous side, so potent
to the onlooker, father and son alike
were oblivious. But at %, while he is
not Eli original joker, none can excel
this young man In the ease and quick
ness with which he detects a hidden
meaning. The initiative seems not to
be granted him. but a fund of enjoy
ment is his which undoubtedly would
have been lost but for his consistent
training.-Good Housekeeping.

ease was the cause.
Mrs. Craigie was an American, al
though she had resided for great
many years in England. She was the
daughter Of John Morgan Richards and
was born in Boston SO years ago. She
was near relative of the famous Field
family. Her father was wealthy and
she was given every educational advan-
tage. She Travelled extensively abroad
and took courses in classics and philo-
sophy in London. When 10 she was
married to Reginald Walpole Craigie,
an Englishman of good family who was
a clerk in the Bank of England. Their
married life was unhappy. In 1895 she
brought suit for divorce in London
court, alleging shocking brutality on
his part and procured decree, with
the custody of her son.
The name of John oliver Hobbies first
appeared appended to a short novel
called 'Some Emotions and a Moral"
in 1891. The sharp cynicism and high
flavor of the book gained instant recog-
milton for the writer 1t was at first
supposed that the author was a man.
Not until some time afterwards did
Mrs. Craigie reveal her identity. The
Sinners Comedy" a second story along
the same lines, and "A Bundle Of Life"
followed, gaining wide favor. ''Ths
Gods, Some Mortals and Lord Wicker
sham attracted much attention, as did
another of her popular successes, The
School for Saints" brought out In 1897.
Her last novel, published in 1905, was
The Flute of Pan" Mrs. Craigie was
also the author of several plays, the
most successful being THE Ambassa-
dor" She likewise wrote many brill
liGnt essays for different periodicals.
Mrs Craigie was woman Of most
engaging personality. She was hand

Mike Beimler is building a large barn
for the Black Bros. at Ambrose, to be
used as livery, feed and sale stable.
F. E. Lyons on Tuesday sold his house
and lot in the Leerskov addition, just
south of First street, to Bert Waters,

bushels to the acre.
Parties living north of town are un-
easy at the report that some horses in
the neighborhood are betraying unmis-
taxable symptoms of glanders, and we
understand the State Veterinary has
been notified to come on and inspect the
cases.

nection with the Western Implement

The man arrested on the streets a
week ago by Chief Day on the strength
of hSc 1,1oron %o 1S,,o,,,ia MiJcnr,
who recently succeeded in making good
his getaway from the county Jail,
turned out to be the wrong man, al
though the two were as alike in coun-
tenance and general appearance as two
peas. When Wilson made his sneak
from the county Jail he was minus coat
and hat, and the suspect arrested here
was minus coat and worea brand new
hat. A deputy came up from Minot to
look him over, and though ne said the
man looked near enough like Wilson to
be a twin brother, still he wasn't the
man wanted and was turned loose to go
his way.
SAME HERE. An investigation re-
veals the fact that it. will be a hard
matter for the people in this vicinity to
secure Ignite coal this fall. There is
plenty Of coal but the transportation ia
cilities Of the 500 road, which is the
only road reaching the coal beds, is in
adequate to handle the business that
will be demanded of it this fall. just
as soon as the grain commences to
move, the 500 will be swamped with
work and it will be next to an impossi-
bility to get any coal. The fact that
those mines in the vicinity of Minot, the
nearness of which would make hauling
by team practical, aresnot and will not
be in operation this fall 10 one need
be surprised if J. there isf shortage of
coal pretty early in the season, and
some Of the wise heads, who have the
situation sized up, are laying in their
winters supply Of fuel now. Optic.
