and artistic liar in the territory. For
two hours he had been exercising his
talent to the full, and merely paused
now in search of some fresh inspira-
tion, holding in supreme and silent
contempt the rather feeble limitations
of his less-gifted companion.
The fly in the ointment of this long
days ride, the third party, whose un-
desirable presence and personal
knowledge of Mr.. Moffat's past career
rather seriously interfered with the
latter's flights of imagination, was Will
liam Mcneil, foreman OF the Bar W
ranch over on Sinsiniwa creek. Nc
Neil was not much of a talker, having
an impediment in his speech, and be-
ing trife bashful in the presence of
a lady. But he caught the eye,-a
slenderly built, reckless fellow,
smoothly shaven, with a strong chin
and bright laughing eyes,-and as he
lolled carelessly back in his bearskin
"chaps" and wide-brimmed sombrero,
occasionally throwing in some cool,
insinuating comment regarding Moi
fats recitals, the latter experienced
strong inclination to heave him over
board. The slight hardening of Nc
Neils eyes at such moments had thus
far served, however, as sufficient re-
straint, while the unobservant Miss
Spencer, unaware of the silent duel
thus being conducted in her very pres
ence, divided her undisguised admira-
ton, playing havoc with the suscepti-
BILE heart of each, and all unconscious
ly laying the foundations for future
trouble. &..a-

exclaimed, her cheeks glowing. Its
all so different from the east; heroism
seems to be in the very air of this
country, and your adventure was SO
very unusual. Don't you think SO, Mr..
McNeil?" #%
The silent foreman hitched himself
suddenly upright, his face unusually
solemn 'tWhy-eh-yes, mtss-you

Don't Trust to Your Eye.

In spite of the growth of knowledge
old Illusions about wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
a wild creature is Held by many people
and intelligent people, too-notW1th-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it. 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals. but not on ac-
count of his eyes being turned away.
1t is because the animal is treacherous
and knows by instinct that anything
with it's back turned toward 1t Is de-
fenseless Snakes are looked upon as
evil at all times. but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness. No creature is more nerv-
GUS than a snake.

FILE FORMAL COMPLAINT.
Independent Dealers After the Stand
ard Oil Company.

ST. Paul, May 24.-The independent
oil companies operating in Minnesota
are on the trail of the Standard Oil
company. The annulment OF the
Standards license is the goal.
Following up their verbal complaint
of last week the Bartles Oil company,
the Pennsylvania Oil and Supply COM
pany and the Cornplanter Oil COM
pany, all having Offices in St. Paul,
have filed formal charges with Secre-
tary of State Schmahl alleging dis
elimination.
The charge Is that the Standard is
violating the Hinton anti-discrimina-
tion law passed by the last legislature.
Briefly, the three Independent con-
Germs offer evidence to show that the
Standard, in an effort to crush com
petition, is selling OIL at a loss in Min
neapolis and St. Paul, receiving only
71a cents per gallon for it, while in
the country, notably St. James, Fair
mount and Welcome, where the Stand
ard has comparatively no competition,
10k cents per gallon is demanded
and obtained for the same quality Of

HIGH SCHOOL

The Seniors met at the School Thurs
day evening and addressed the pub
lie invitations for their class COM
mencement.
The Seniors had a jolly picnic Fri
day afternoon. They met at the post
office from which they were taken to
Lake Pomme de Terre on a hay rack
driven by the Honorable President,
Harold w. Stone. The lunch, which
the girls furnished, was the best ever,
and as result one of the dignifed
senior girls found it necessary to drive
home for Harold, while another bathed
his head with lemonade. Mr.. Scoby
loaned the boats to the class for the
day, and the class report fine time.
Rev. Lawson will preach the Bac-
calaurette sermon tomorrow at the
M. E. church. The class will march
in a body ushered by the Juniors.
Miss Hurley has new scheme of
housekeeping and advises all ener-
getic housekeepers to follow her plan.
She politely invited every member of
her Physics class to come into the
Laboratory to help clean shelves and
wash dishes. This was required of
each member of the class, otherwise
the member would get no credit for
the months work.
The teachers are experiencing some
very interesting trials these last days.
The freshmen who are young and
somewhat frolicsome, are intent on
skipping school. To get ahead OF the
little fellows, the teachers stand on
either side of the landing and call roll,
checking off the name of each fresh
men. If found absent, they are sure
| to be summoned into the office the
next day. These methods will surely
bring about reform.

Lawyers as Will Makers.

In scribbing his will on a sheet of
rough foolscap the late Lord Davey
showed the lawyers traditional dis
taste for elaborate testaments. Lord
Mansfield found half sheet Of note
paper ample for the disposal Of all his
worldly possessions. Sir James Fftz-
James Stephens will was model of
brevity, for it began and ended in thir-
teen words, and dozen lines served
to dispose Of Lord Russell Of Killo-
wen's estate of nearly f150,OOO. The
late Lord Grimthorpe showed a fine
contempt for convention in serfbbling
three of his fourteen codicils On the
backs of an old letter, dinner invita-
ton and circular respectively. Lord
st. Leonards put his last testament SO
carefully away that the most diligent
search failed to discover it. Lord st.
Heller provided fees for his lawyers
by tearing a sheet out Of his will, and
Fl. G. Richards, X. c., did his ''cloth''
an equally good turn by leaving will
full of interlineations, while Sergeant
Maynard deliberately left an ambigu-
ously worded testament in order that
certain legal questions that had puz-
zled him when living should be settled
when he was dead.-W estminster Ga
zette.

TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Mysterious Case of Russian Consulate
Official.

Chicago, May 24-The mysterious
case of the late Nicholas de Raglan
secretary of the Russian consulate In
Chicago, is to be investigated. De
Raglan lived as a man, was married
twice and divorced once, but when he
died at Phoenix, Ariz.. the statement
was made by those who had charge Of
the body at Phoenix that the supposed
man was woman.
Public Administration Reddick has
refused to turn over De Raylan's es-
tate, valued at $4,000, to the widow on
the grounds that if De Raglan was
woman there had been no marriage in
the eyes of the law.
Mrs. de Raglan, who claims to have
many competent witnesses to prove
her assertion, declares that her "hus-
hand" was a man and that she will
spend her last cent to prove 1T. She
has sent an agent to Phoenix to ex-
hume the body.

Doctors and Midwives.
Chicago, May 24-The grand jury
has begun an examination into sensa-
tional charges that midwives and doc
tors had paid thousands of dollars
protection money" in connection with
illegal surgical operations. Incl
dentally the jury indicted DR.. Lucy
Hagenow in connection with the
death of Lola Madison Of Salt Lake
City, Utah. DR.. Hagenow was ind1ct-
ed on this charge year ago, but the
Indictment was found technically
faulty. Later DR.. Hagenow was called
before the jury to testify to an inter-
view credited to her, but later denied,
that she, in common with others had
escaped trial for years by the use OF

The number of illegal operations
performed in Chicago in year is said
to be startling. The victims are most

being drawn here through advertise
ments carefully worded and circulated
privately and in such regular publica-
lions as would handle them The

a score or more suspected physicians

Fashions From Three Centers

ready been placed on velours and fur
fabric coats. The long loose models,
as we'll as some box and semi-fitted
coats. are being taken where the goods
are intended for city trade.
On fall skirts the majority of manu-
facturers are making up their lines in
fancy models in contrast to the plain
staple goods used last winter and the
season before. Fold trimmings will be
continued as a feature for fall offer
ings. In the high class garments made
of sheer materials the change in the
makeup will be the use of the tucks
instead of the folds as in the present
seasons separate skirts. 1t is stated
by manufacturers Of capes that the
call for them this summer from re-
tailers, in the larger cities has been
larger than usual. and that 1t is al
most a certainty that these models
will enter the fall as strong sellers If
not actual leaders.
Large assortments of waists for the
fall have already been placed before
the trade, and the ordering on silk and
woollen waists has set in strong. The
plain waist is to play more promi-
nent part in the heavy weight season
than that allotted to it for the pres
ent spring and summer. The Japan
csc models are reported as meeting
with favor among the buyers of me-
dunn to high grade goods. Depart
ment store buyers in particular regard
this style of waist as desirable mer-
chandiSe to offer to all.

LONDON FASHIONS.
BY MAY DAWSON.

London, June 29.-The court held this
week by King Edward and Queen Al
exandra lends interest TO the inquiry
as to what it costs for a debutante TO
make her curtesy to the king and
queen.
A certain amount of eXaggeratiOn
has attached itself to the expenditure
which is cited as necessary for a court
outfit. The all important dress may
cost thousands and tens of thousands
of dollars, but. on the other hand, a
very dainty little debutante at the last
court only spent S25 on her frOck. 1t
was made by a good dressmaker and
the train was lent by a friend.
A calculation has been made to de-
eide the maximum and minimum cost
at a presentation at court There is,
of course, practically no limit to the
expenditure which might be involved
gown may be sewn with real jewels.
A petticoat may be fashioned of price
less lace a feather fan may be
adorned with sticks Of gold. All that
can be done is to take a fair average
of the sum total which would be con-
sidered necessary by a society debu-
tante.
The minimum cost is more difficult
matter. The most rigid economy must
be practiced. and the greatest difficult
ty which will present itself viii be tC
