ders the prince absolutely incapable
of properly discharging his monarch

When the time comes for him te
marry, the greatest tragedy of his life
will be enacted. He will not be per
mitted to choose the girl of his heart
but will be forced to wed a woman
for reasons of state. His matrimonial
affairs will be arranged for him by
statesmen and diplomats on the same
precise scientific system as his whole
career. The consort selected for him
may be ugly, unsympathetic, ill-na
tured, ill-tempered, a veritable vixen
but he must marry her as a matter OF
policy. He will then go through life
without the supreme happiness of vir
tuous love and without these exquisite
joys of peaceful home life in the com
partnership of a consort chosen solely
according to the dictates of the heart
Instead, he will be chained in loveless
wedlock to woman whom he detests.

A world without mistakes and with,
out suffering would be a world with,
out real men and women, without lit
erature, without music, without paint
ing or sculpture and without love, and
even without history, for history is a
record of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome and errors to correct, re-
marks the Louisville Courier-Journal,
men and women would lapse to level
with beasts in mentality. Intellectual
and spiritual development would cease
and souls not refined by the fire of or
deals would die of something akin to
fatty degeneration. The races would
perish of ennui or inanity. After all
it's pretty fair sort of world as it
stands. Much advice might have been
offered at the worlds making if a few
experienced old ladies had been stand
ing by, but the odds are that it would
not have been SO good world as it
is.

Uncle Sam is a great admirer of
health, youth and beauty, but he has
no use for fraudulent preparations
sold on the deceptive promise to pro-
duce such results. The post Office au-
thorities have barred from the mails
an elixir which the government
chemists found to contain six per cent.
of alcohol and a small proportion of
peppermint, the remainder being
plain, ordinary water. OF course the
gulls who were buying this worthless
connection in the belief that it would
make them strong, young and beauti-
full were paying fancy prices for it,
and the sellers were reaping snug for
tunes. When the truth becomes fully
appreciated that the surest and lest
expensive method of acquiring health,
strength and such measure of good
looks as nature allots is to cultivate
good habits, eat proper food and in
dulge in ample exercise, the charla-
tans who get rich by preying on hui
man vanity will go out of business.

Alfred Brown, of the United States
volunteer life saving corps, and one
of the star long distance swimmers of
the country, stationed at New York,
is open to swim a long distance match
with any aquatic expert in the world.
Capt. Brown points to his long record
Of achievements as an evidence of not
only good faith, but ability. On Sep
TENDER II, 1895, Brown smashed all
records in the endurance swim from
the Bridge Dock to Coney Island, a
distance of IA miles. He covered the
distance in five hours and SO minutes,
and won against a field of AZ expert
swimmers of the United States volun-
teer life saving corps, being the only
one to finish, in bowling wind. For
this feat he was awarded a handsome
solid gold medal, donated by the corps
and suitably engraved.
Swimming coaches are unanimous
in their decision that the best strokes
for sp.inting are also the best for long
distance swimming. This idea is d.
rectly opposite to the one previously
held by experts on aquatic athletics
but nevertheless it has been proven
true by the performances of the racers
in their contests so far this season.
The coaches argue that if a certain
set of movements carries one through
the water at the highest rate of speed
when sprinting, that same set is the
one which is most natural to the swim
mer, and will of necessity carry him
along at fast clip in a longer swim,
even if he goes through them more
slowly.
In this country there are only two
recognized standard swimming strokes
the trudgeon and the crawl AL
though some of the championship
class men have mastered the latter
stroke, it is still too new to most of
The American swimmers to be advised
as = distance stroke. though it is ex-
pected that the time will come when
| it viii be used exclusively for all dis
tances.
The trudgeon is the most desirable
1t present for endurance swimming
It is more rational than the breast
stroke in the position of the body, it

The court did not think the matter was properly presented and refused tO accept the ex- plantation. Attorney Church for the plaintiff insisted that the ease shOrId go on. He was ready and Mir Coyle and his counsel knew that their side should be ready also. If they were not. that was their fault.

PROTEST AGAINST WILL
Mrs. James Budd, Daughter, Had Case Con.
 tinued Until Next Week.

 James Brownlee, well known lather, who lived on Walnut street and owned considerable property in that neighborhood, died some time ago and left will which is going to cause trou- ble in his family. In the probate court to-day there was a hearing on the will. which was represented by Attorney Guilfoile and the contesting heir, Mrs James Budd, 16 Cherry street, daugh- ter Of the Brownlees. The will was drawn up in 1893 and the witnesses were William J. Schlegel and Judge George H. Cowell. Mrs Budd is en- tirely ignored in it, hence her opposi- tion to it. She claims that it is no. the will of her father and that wheE he drew it up he was unable to do so and for long time previous he had been under improper influences that were very unfriendly to her interests. The fact that in cOdicil he nominated his wife his eXecutrix shows to Mrs Budd's satisfaction that he was under the influence. she complains of. All of the estate, which is said to be good deal, was left to Mrs BrOwnlee. At the request of Mrs Budd's counsel the hearing was continued to next Satur- day forenoon.

JUST NOW

we are getting what is known as mad dog scare, but up to date we nave heard of only two occasions of anyone being bitten, and both of them are only policemen. Now the officials who have the power to do so have decided that all dogs shall be muzZled, ana goodness knows that any dog that $ foolish enough to take bite out or any of our 'cops" should be mnzzled. Yes, they should be put to death and horrible one at that, because we must remember our brass buttoned gentlemen are necessity as well as an ornament and any naughty dog that nas the audacity to touch one CT them should receive the full penalty of law. Say, it's queer how people are SC much afraid of being poisoned py the bite of dog, and yet there are lots of occasions where their health is in more danger by partaking or some of the beverages they drink. UT course we all know intOxicants are dangerous. but where person is com- pelled to drink poor, bad-tasting tea or coffee when they could get the nice tasting, good quality at our store for the same price, it's a downright shame.

Floor of the Room in Which MOurners
 Were Seated Settles Five Feet. E., Syracuse, Jan 20.-With 300 mourn CTS sitting in the dining room at the home of Michael Mullin yesterday morning at the funeral of his wife, Mrs Annie Mullin, the floor gave way and settled five feet. The mourners were saved from falling into the eel lar, twelve feet below, by the furnace, which held up the floor. A fire alarm was sounded and one of the hose wagon teams, which got beyond the control of the driver, ran away and nearly upset the hearse.
 AS rapidly as possible the panic stricken mourners were assisted from the house to places of safety. With the exception of Mrs John E. Dorsey none was seriously hurt. She was rendered unconscious for half an hour. In walking from the house to the church one woman fell and was in- jured.

pany, instituted proceedings at
once against the commissioners,
enjoining them from signing the
contract with McDougall, claim
ing that it is their duty to re-
advertise the bids as all were re-
jected. The commissioners claim
that they had a perfect right to
reject any and all bids, and if
they afterwards choose to let the
work without advertising. it was
no ones business.
The bridges and the bids OF the
Northwest Bridge Co. are as fol-
lows:
Sec. 1916: Twp. 1858, 5000.
Sec. 1927, Twp. 1861, $500.
Sec. Z. 1881, $500.

Sec. 80, 1862, $3.50.
Sec. 1920. Twp. 1894, $3.50.
The other companies were
about 5000 higher on the total.
McDougal agrees to do the
work for $500. That saves the
county 5000 on the building Of
the bridges alone.
The Northwest Bridge Co. bid
25 cents a cubic yard for the
grade. McDougall offered to
do the work for 2 cents a yard
less, saving the county $500
more.
J. ". Wilson had bid for
a grade on Sec. 8, and
10, 1871, at 80 cents a cubic
yard. He was the only bidder.
McDougall secured the Job at 2
cents a yard less and never saw
the lay of the land.
The Northwest Bridge Co. bid
1915 for replanking the Belyea
Avenue bridge in Minot and
5000 for planking the Torben-
son bridge. McDougall got the
