TURNED THE JOKE.
Ths Way q Bridegroom Got the Laugh
on His "Funny" chum.

WI tbe FoHty SHbUs
Under the thin disguise of harmless
fun many an objectionable rude prank
Is played upon newly married couples.
II 10 refreshing to hear Of an occasion
al instance In which the Joke" reacts
on the Joker. A young man and his
bride, who had just been married In Q
western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers of rice and old shoes.
Just as they had taken their seats in
the car one Of the bridegroom's chums
came hastily In to bid him goodby. AS
the young husband extended bis hand
the friend snapped handcuf round
his wrist
The groom had been suspecting a
trick Of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuff snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy BRIDE
groom himself.
That's a good one on me, Harry"
he said. with sickly kind Of smile,
but I'll have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key to these
things from the fellow outside that's
got It Hold on, conductor, Just min
utev'
But the conductor, whose quick eye
had taken in the situation, refused II
wait. He gave the order for starting,
and the train pulled out It was a
through train and made no stop fol-
the next fifty miles. Before It stopped.
however, the brakeman, with the aid
Of sharp file and a hammer, succeed
ed in releasing Harry. The practical
Joker meanwhile had had to pay full
fare for the fifty miles and still had
his fare home to pay.

Late this afternoon the prosecu-
ton rested its case In the trial of
Mrs. Mabel Warner and the defense
began upon its inning by calling Fred
Young to the stand. Young is
step-brother of the defendant and
was with her when the discovery"
of the will was made in the bank at
Weston.
While under direct examination
this morning Young told of the oc-
currences In the bank, but his testi-
mony differed in minor details only
from that told by witnesses for the
state. He was also questioned about
being approached by DR.. Watts re-
garding testimony in the case now
in court. He said three different
statements bearing upon the case had
been prepared by Watts and that he
had signed the last one, having re-
fused to place his signature to either
of the first two.
On cross examination some facts
regarding the family affairs of the
defendant were brought by Judge
Fee. 1t was shown that during the
latter years of his life James w.
Young had lived apart from his wife
and that he had secured a divorce
from the mother of the witness. It
was also brought out that the wit
ness did not know Of the defendants
marriage to Warner until the con-
tracing people themselves told him
about the match. He said Warner
had previously been In the livery
business at Walla Walla and that
after the marriage he learned that
he had also been in the saloon busi-
ness.
The noon recess was taken before
the cross-examinaton of Young had
been completed.
Former Husband Testifies.
This afternoon L. o. Kane, former
husband of Mrs. Warner, was placed
on the stand by the defense and told
of having been called upon by Watts
in Spokane. According to the wit
ness by DR. Watts wished him to sign
a statement setting for the certain
| things regarding the defendant,
among other things one to the ef-
feet that she could not be believed
under OATH However, he declined
to do so.
| Others examined before Kane
were Attorney c. Fl. Carter and ]. H.
Luck.

Pawnshop Art Sales.

Zone of the most lndefatigable paint
ers in Philadelphia has almost exclu-
sively pawnshop trade" said pawn
broker the other day while discussing
the many tricks Of bis business. "He
has been working this market" he con-
tinued, "for almost four years. I be-
lieve was his first customer. He was
reduced to the point where his only
capital was lot Of pictures that he
could not sell. In his extremity he
came to me. l advanced him little
money on several pictures, which I
was lucky enough to sell. The funny
part Of it was that the man himself
couldn't sell picture to save his soul.
He finally realized that he was def
cient in business ideas and confined
himself strictly to painting pictures,
while / attended to the sales. At last
he got other customers In my line, and
today he actually makes living from
the pawnshop trade" - Philadelphia

0RAT0R|CAL LEAGUE MEETING
North Dakotans Will Gather Tuesday
Morning for Scssion-Next Contest
Will be Held in Grand Forks,

The annual meeting of the North

ISOLATION will DO held at Fargo Tues
day morning. Five colleges will be
represented at the meeting, the state
university, Wesley college, the agrI-
cultural college, the Fargo college and
the State Science school OF Wahpeton.
1t is believed that the present year
will be the most successful year for
oratory which the league has ever en-
perienced. Every one of the colleges
represented have plenty OF splendid
material. The state contest last year
was held at Fargo and this year will
be held in Grand Forks under the au-
spices OF Wesley college.
Several important measures will he
discussed at the meeting Tuesday. For
some time plan mas been advocated
dispensing with thought and compost
ton judges and having the orators
judged on the evening of delivery by
one set of judges. The plan was talk
ed over last year by the board, but
was not adopted and it is believed
there will DO considerable discussion
over the plan this year. Also several
changes will have to be made in the
constitution regarding rotation of Of
fees and place of holding the contest,
as the state science school was ac-
mitted last year and provision will
have to be made for them. The board
will set the date OF the contest which

SINGERS SH0VELEO SNOW
Their Train Became Stalled, and
Drastic Measures We're Necessary
to Keep Things Moving.

The Glee and Mandolin club of the
University of Minnesota had a rather
novel experience Saturday morning
while on their way to Crookston to
give their entertainment in that city.
The boys were all ready to leave the
city but the train was delayed, and
when finally they did start it stuck
in snow drift. In order to get to
their destination the entire club had
to get out and shovel snow nearly two
hours.
There are thirty-eight strong and
robust boys in the organization and it
is said they made the snow fly for a
while. Upon arrival at Crookston
they were taken to the different homes
and entertained until their departure
for Pelican Rapids, where the next
performance will be given.
