A Man Of 70 After Finding Coffee
Hurt Him, Stopped Short.

When a man has lived to be 70 years
old with a 4O-year-old habit grown to
him like knot on tree, chances are
he'll stick to the habit till he dies.
But occasionally the spirit Of youth
and determination remains in some
men to the last day of their lives:
When such men do find any habit Of
life has been doing them harm, they
surprise the Oslerites by a degree Of
will power that is supposed to belong
to men under 40 only.

LEAGUE FlA ' JONES
ANTI-sALOoN ORGANIZATION Ex-
PLAINS WHY IT FAvoRs MAYOR
AND OPPOSES HAYNES.

The Minnesota Anti-saloon league has
issued statement correcting impress
sions entertained in certain quarters as
to the attitude Of the league in the
mayoralty campaign. The league IA
vors the reelection Of Mayor Jones,
not because he is republican, but be-
cause he is enforcing The law now and
has promised to keep on enforcing it..
The league bases its support Of the
mayor on what he has done, and, on the
other hand, it's opposition to J.. G..
Haynes is based on what he did not do
when he was mayor. The league
statement of the case follows:
We desire to correct certain impress
of what the Tribune reports as to the
attitude of the Minnesota Anti saloon
league in the pending election for mayor.
AS between Mayor Jones, the republic
an candidate for y mayor, and Mr..
Haynes, the democratic candidate
for the same office, tho Anti-sa-
loon league is neutral: but as be-
tween Mayor Jones, the exponent OF
clean government and law enforcement,
government which shall conserve the
moral interests Of the city, and, therefore,
the business interests as we'll, and Mr..
Haynes, as the man opposing him, the
l.
is non-partizan and cares nothing what
soever for the party affiliations Of either
candidate. -.
The league recognizes that the present

and clean government on the one hand
and those disorderly elements in society

| of that fact, the league is not neutral
| It holds that this issue is not settled by
the tardy pledge of Mr.. Haynes to carry

WANT TO WED, But

Elmira, N. Y, Couple Seek a State
Where Their Union Can Be
Speedily Solemnized.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal ST. .
Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 17.--When
Of Elmira, n. T., made application to
County Judge Hassell for a marriage
license to wed Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis,
he did not know that in North Dakota
there is a law forbidding the marriage
of divorced persons until six months
has elapsed from the date of divorce.
Mrs. Lewis was divorced In this city
Oct. s, a week before application was
made for a license, and Mr.. Barker,
who had travelled all the way from
New York state, was Informed that
license could not issue.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, accompanied
by daughter, aged 13 years, came to
Grand Forks from Elmira, N. Y, over
year ago. and very recently started
an action for divorce from David T.
Lewis, on the grounds Of assertion and
failure to provide. r. p -.....' --..a
The decree was granted Oct. 8 last,
there being no appearance On the part
Of the husband, and few days ago
Mr.. Barker put in an appearance, and
! arrangements were made for wedding.
But owing to the statute the marriage
will be postponed until more friendly
state is reached-and it is not unlikely
that Wisconsin will be selected, as that
is the nearest point at which the law
is not particular as to the time of
divorce or Of a second marriage.

He doesn't talk" said the woman
apologetically and with something like
a sob. Il fear that he is dumb l have
tried to teach him baby words. but he
doesn't seem to understand. 1t is very

down the line OF cages. The handsome
baby looked wearily at the monkeys.
There was no interest In his angelic
face. Once or twice the woman spoke
to him In English, but baby didn't an
