OF course he was possessed of
eyes, nose and mouth like. any
other individual, but as they were
decidedly commonplace, it is not
worth while to discuss them.
He walked slowly down the
road, his hands in his pockets and
his eyes bent on the ground.
Bert was cogitating.
His thoughts ran something
like this:
"By Jove! She's a darling. Just
the kind of plump, rosy sweetness
that a fellow loves to get hold of
and squeeze. Say, but didn't she
look a peach last night in that
filmy, white frock, and her dear,
little Gibson ties bobbing in and
out as she tripped along" Bert
was getting poetical) "And her
golden hair all curly and blowy.
And then her eyes. My, but she's
a daisy. Pm IT," here Bert drew
himself up and looked detiantly
around as if to defend himself
against any denial of the unut-
tered statement. t1'm II, and

One on the Parson.

This is a story which the late Dean
Hole was fond of relating. A vicar
went to preach for friend, and in
the vestry afterward he said: Il must
apologize for the brevity of my SER
mon, but our fox terrier got into
my study last night and ate several
pages of my manuscript" At this the
wardens giggled, but one Of them,
holder than the rest, remarked:
'You couldn't let our parson have q
pup, could you?"

!. "She's up there" Bert sat down
by the brook and took, off his
shoes and socks; turned up the
bottom of his trousers legs, and
began the task Of crossing. It was
no. easy job, with his lame knee.
There were many stones, some of
them Jagged. and he was obliged
to be very careful, as a misstep
might result seriously. Every
now and then he paused. to call to
his hidden charmer. When the
answer came, as it always did, he
would push forward with renewed
energy.
- At last, perspiring and with
aching limb, he arrived at the op-
posite bank.

ne exclaimed, as he sank thank
fully down on the green sward.
Drying his feet on his handker=
chief he put on his shoes and
socks. making a wry face, as he
struggled with his lame foot.
Then he arose, pulled down his
turned-up trousers legs, and
pushed his way laboriously
through the thick hedge. As he
emerged on the other side he gave
final "Hello."
"Hello-o-o," came floating down
on the summer air.
He climbed a few PAGES and
turned his eyes eagerly upward.
There, in full view, on moss
covered stone, sat a solitary fe.
male figure, holding an umbrella
over her head.
She waved her hand and smiled
'Hello-o," she called.
Bert stood stock still and
stared. "By Jove," he gasped,

Tefephoninq Herring.

A Berlin paper tells of new device
that makes herring fishing easy. A
microphone, which magnifies sounds,
is plunged into the sea to ascertain ii
fish are passing that way. A wire
connects the submerged microphone
with an ordinary receiver. with which
one listens to what is going on in the
depths of the sea. Excellent results
have been obtained in the North sea
by the invention for signaling the
passing of the herring shoals.

Another SWindle.

The farmer is always getting
it. They are again victims OF
gross frauds. A few men have
been reaping a rich harvest by
going through the country repre-
senting themselves as govern
ment agents and telling the farm
ers the government will not de-
liver them their mail unless their
boxes are numbered. The farm
er, not knowing that it is a
fraud, readily falls into the trap
and pays the men the fee Of Is
cents, or so cents or whatever
the case may be. The rogues,
however, made one serious mis-
take and that was not being
familiar with the numbers to go
on the boxes. A number of the
farmers became suspicious and
reported the matter to the postal
authorities. A strict watch is
being kept and should the men
be apprehended, it will go hard
with them, for your Uncle Sam
will not trifle with those who
violate the postal laws.

Huge Engine Passes Thru City.

One Of the huge Mallet COM
pound engines which the Great
Northern is having built for work
in the mountains, passed thru
the city last week and many Mi
not people visited the yard to see
the monstrous piece of machine
ry. The engine is Of the COM
pound pattern and is really two
engines, two cylinders being used
instead of one and having twelve
drive wheels. It is one of the
largest engines in the world, and
can haul a. 100 ton load over a
2.2 per cent grade. It's size can
be judged from the fact that it
weighs 100000 pounds without
the tender and with that tips the
scales at $4,000 pounds. 1t is
being taken west for work in the
mountains where it's type have
proved their value as mountain
climbers with heavy loads.

North Dakota Lost Five Million

A gentleman who has been in
the northern portion of North
Dakota recently stated to an In
dependent reporter that the crop
yield would hardly average ten
bushels to the acre. He figures
that the price of wheat at the
present time should be at least
10 cents higher than it is. The
present price is undoubtedly
based on the report of Jones, the
estimator, who says the yield for
the state is 100000, 900 bushels,
or about twenty bushels to the
acre, The 10 cents a bushel,
which this erroneous report has
caused the farmers to lose, would
amount to about five million dol
lars. 1t would not be safe for
Estimator Jones to show up in
North Dakota at the present
time, or at any other time as far
as that is concerned.

Will Consider Amendments.

Bismarck, Sept. 21.-Among
the issues that will face the voter
this fall will be two constitutions
al amendments pertaining to the
investment OF the common school
funds. One which is to be voted
upon this fall, which allows the
board OF university and school
lands to buy, in addition to
those securities heretofore pur-
chased, bonds issued by coun-
ties, townships and municipali-
ties in this state. The other
amendment must pass the COM
ing legislature before it can go
to the people. 1t adds to the
list drainage bonds and the
bonds Of other states which have
never repudiated their indebted
ness.
In view of the fact that there
is lying in the state treasury
over 100000 OF this school
fund uninvested, there ought to
be no opposition to either OF
these amendments.
Secretary Of Board of Univer-
sity and School Lands w. L.
Stockwell has addressed a letter
| to the state press, urging the
ladoption OF these amendments.

SKIN PATCHES SAVE LIFE.
More Than Four Hundred Pieces
Grated on q Man Who Was ="
e." Badly Burned -s.

One of the most remarkable skin
grating operations known to surgery
has been accomplished in the case of
George S. Kilby, Of No. 50 Gates ave-
nue., Brooklyn, who has had one en-
tire side Of his body remade with Ala
pieces Of skin which was grated on
him. The pieces were one-quarter of
an inch in diameter, so that nearly
three square feet of skin has been
grated on his body.
MIR. kilby was severely burned on
the right side of his face and body on
May 6, by the explosion of an alcohol
lamp. Before the flames could be en-
tinguished they had burned beneath
the skin, and scars which would have
made that side of the body almost use
less would have resulted but for the
work of science.
Not only did the immediate men,
bers of Mr.. Kilby's family contribute
cuticle for the restoration of his body,
but his physician, Dr.. Herbert G. AL
len, his nurse and many of his friends,
particularly from the Hanson Place
Baptist church, where he was active
in church work, also made sacrifices.
Thirty pieces of skin were cut from
Mrs. Kilby and ten from their ten
year-old daughter. Miss Blanche
Snyder, the nurse, contributed thirty
pieces, and Mr.. Kilby's father, who
is sixty years old, had twenty pieces
cut from his right arm. More than
twenty of his friends also underwent
operations in his behalf.
After being removed the small
patches were treated with antiseptics
and placed on Mr.. Kilby's wounds
This grating process was continued
for nearly two months and it was so
successful that there will be only a
slight scar on the face
Operations Of this nature are com
mon in hospital work, but it is sell
dom, if ever, that so large an era of
a mans body has been covered. In
many cases the skin is cut from one
part of the body and grated on
another, but this could not be done in
Mr.. Kilby's case, as so much of the
body was burned that there was nc
more skin pores open than were alb
solutely necessary for his health.
