what o are! II Jack the Dandy likes

you? You're too much like your father to
suit me. He's afraid to say DO to a goose
and you-why. you'd faint to look an egg
lin the face"
Tim Moffat was morally and physically
q perfect image of his father. old Harry
Moffat. Who had married a woman who
from her very wedding day had been a
PEI petual thorn in her husbands side.
Times out Of number had he sdffered from
her frenzted temper and always with a
tender endeavor to hide from friends and
in%etghbors her failings and his own sorrow.
Twice, In her murderOus rage, had she
attempted his life. and no one. save his
" son. knew of the truly heroic forbear-
ance with which he had dealt with her.
Now she was dead. and so well had the
secret been kept by the man whose life
she had spoilt and embittered. that no
breath Of suspicion attached to her MEM
iory. which. in the little world in which
she had lived. was as green as that OF the
best among them.
, Everyone who knew him had a kline
word to a of Tim. and deep down in her
heart Marcie Doyle gloried in the praise
of her lover on the lips Of his fellow men,
and. perhaps. but for the influence Of Jack
Hilton, otherwise lack the Dandy, she
would have yielded to her better feelings,
and cast coqueting and its kindred ways
to the four winds.
This Hilton was the leading man at the
ltheater at which Tim Mofiat was en-
,ployed. A single he. as is not I'M
usual with men OF his position, was q

be voted on, and, if a majority favor
the proposed amendment, it will be-
come a law.
Once it is law, eight per cent of the
people of the state can by petition
force the question of resubmission on
the state, and that amendment will
then take the course provided in the
new law for the amendment of the con-
stitution. 1t is true that resubmission

that it is nearer than it was before the

As MAO As A Halter
Old Familiar Phrase Ingeniously Elk.
planned by E. C. Reset, the
Lanpher.S Skinner Man.

Although in some cases several ver-
sions have been given of the origin of
popular sayings there are quite num-
Der which can be traced to autehntic
sources, and their history is sometimes
of a rather humorous character.
For instance, take the saying, GAS
mad as halter" One it at a loss to
understand why the halter should be
made the type of insanity rather than
an Oliver typewriter man or tailor.
1t is stated that E. c. Reset, the genial
Lanpher-Skinner hat man, who makes
Grand Forks his headquarters, ex-
plains the origin in the following inge-
NOUS way. The French compare an
incapable or weak-minded person to
an oyster. "He reasons like an oys-
ter" they say, and the traveller sug-
gests that through the similarly of
sound the French "huitre" may have
given occasion to the English halter"
From III raisonne CONNIE une huitre"
may have come "As mad as halter"

the register down behind the desk, so
that It did not occupy it's usual posi-

to register. The book was not in sight.
